SECTION 2.07.    Several Obligations of Lenders. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make its Loan on such date, but neither any Lender nor Administrative Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan to be made by such other Lender, and no Lender shall have any obligation to Administrative Agent or any other Lender for the failure by such Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such Lender.

Failure to make any such recordation or any error in such recordation shall not affect Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive of the information noted therein (absent manifest error), and the parties hereto shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Loan or other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of the Credit Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. No assignment shall be effective unless recorded in the Register; provided that Administrative Agent agrees to record in the Register any assignment entered into pursuant to the term hereof promptly after the effectiveness of such assignment.

SECTION 2.09.    Optional Prepayments and Conversions or Continuations of Loans.
(a)    Subject to Section 4.04, Borrower shall have the right to prepay Loans (without premium or penalty), or to convert Loans of one Type into Loans of another Type or to continue Loans of one Type as Loans of the same Type, at any time or from time to time. Borrower shall give Administrative Agent notice of each such prepayment, conversion or continuation as provided in Section 4.05 (and, upon the date specified in any such notice of prepayment, the amount to be prepaid shall become due and payable hereunder; provided that Borrower may make any such notice conditional upon the occurrence of a Person’s acquisition or sale or any incurrence of indebtedness or issuance of Equity Interests). Each Notice of Continuation/Conversion shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit C. If LIBOR Loans are prepaid or converted other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor, Borrower shall at such time pay all expenses and costs required by Section 5.05. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting the rights and remedies of the Lenders under Article XI, in the event that any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Administrative Agent may (and, at the request of the Required Lenders, shall), upon written notice to Borrower, have the right to suspend the right of Borrower to convert any Loan into a LIBOR Loan, or to continue any Loan as a LIBOR Loan, in which event all Loans shall be converted (on the last day(s) of the respective Interest Periods therefor) or continued, as the case may be, as ABR Loans.

(x)    if no Event of Default then exists or would result therefrom, the Net Available Proceeds thereof shall not be required to be so applied on such date to the extent that Borrower delivers an Officer’s Certificate to Administrative Agent stating that an amount equal to such proceeds is intended to be used to fund the acquisition of Property used or usable in the business of any Company or repair, replace or restore the Property or other Property used or usable in the business of any Company, in each case within (A) six (6) months following receipt of such Net Available Proceeds or (B) if Borrower or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest such Net Available Proceeds within six (6) months following receipt thereof, within twelve (12) months following receipt of such Net Available Proceeds, and
(y)    if all or any portion of such Net Available Proceeds not required to be applied to the prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10(a)(i) is not so used within the period specified by clause (x) above, such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of such period as specified in Section 2.10(b).

-28-




(x)    an amount equal to the Net Available Proceeds from any Asset Sale pursuant to Section 10.05(c) shall not be required to be applied as provided above on such date if (1) no Event of Default then exists or would result therefrom and (2) Borrower delivers an Officer’s Certificate to Administrative Agent stating that an amount equal to such Net Available Proceeds is intended to be reinvested, directly or indirectly, in assets (which may be pursuant to an acquisition of Equity Interests of a Person that directly or indirectly owns such assets) of any Company within (I) six (6) months following receipt of such Net Available Proceeds or (II) if Borrower or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest such Net Available Proceeds within six (6) months following receipt thereof, within twelve (12) months following receipt of such Net Available Proceeds (which certificate shall set forth the estimates of the proceeds to be so expended); and
(y)    if all or any portion of such Net Available Proceeds is not reinvested in assets in accordance with the Officer’s Certificate referred to in clause (x) above within the period specified by clause (x) above, such remaining portion shall be applied on the last day of such period as specified in Section 2.10(b).
(iv)    Equity Issuance. Within three (3) Business Days after any Equity Issuance on or after the Closing Date, in an aggregate principal amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Proceeds of such Equity Issuance.

(vi)    Prepayments Not Required for Foreign Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.10(a), to the extent that any of or all the Net Available Proceeds of any Asset Sale or Casualty Event with respect to any property or assets of Foreign Subsidiaries are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States, the portion of such Net Available Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.10(a) but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long as applicable local law does not permit repatriation to the United States (Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all commercially reasonable actions required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Available Proceeds is permitted under the applicable local law, any such Net Available Proceeds shall be reinvested pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(i) or (iii), as applicable, or applied pursuant to Section 2.10(b) within three (3) Business Days of such repatriation. To the extent Borrower reasonably determines that repatriation of any of or all the Net Available Proceeds of any Asset Sale or Casualty Event with respect to any property or assets of Foreign Subsidiaries would have a material adverse tax costs or consequences to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, such Net Available Proceeds so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary and will not be required to be applied to repay Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.10(a).
(vii)    Prepayments Subject to Other Indebtedness. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.10(a), to the extent that any of or all the Net Available Proceeds of any Casualty Event or Asset Sale with respect to any property or assets of a Company that is subject to any agreement or instrument evidencing or governing any Indebtedness of such Company are subject to reinvestment or mandatory offer or repurchase provisions, or are otherwise not permitted to be distributed to Borrower, in each case under such agreement or instrument, the portion of such Net Available Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.10(a) so long as such Net Available Proceeds are so affected, and once such affected Net Available Proceeds are no longer so affected, any such Net Available Proceeds shall be reinvested pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(i) or (iii) or applied pursuant to Section 2.10(b) within three (3) Business Days thereafter.
(b)    Application. The amount of any required prepayments described in Section 2.10(a) shall be applied to prepay Loans as follows:

-29-




(i)    First, to prepay all Loans; provided that, each such prepayment shall, subject to the last paragraph of this Section 2.10(b), be applied to such Loans that are ABR Loans to the fullest extent thereof before application to Loans that are LIBOR Loans, and such prepayments of LIBOR Loans shall be applied in a manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.05; and
(ii)    Second, after application of prepayments in accordance with clause (i) above, Borrower shall be permitted to retain any such remaining excess.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender may elect, by written notice to Administrative Agent at least one (1) Business Day prior to the prepayment date, to decline all or any portion of any prepayment of its Loans, pursuant to this Section 2.10, in which case the aggregate amount of the prepayment that would have been applied to prepay such Loans, but was so declined shall be ratably offered to each Lender that initially accepted such prepayment. Any such re-offered amounts rejected by such Lenders shall be retained by Borrower.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the amount of any prepayment of Loans required under this Section 2.10 shall be in excess of the amount of the ABR Loans at the time outstanding, only the portion of the amount of such prepayment as is equal to the amount of such outstanding ABR Loans shall be immediately prepaid and, at the election of Borrower, the balance of such required prepayment shall be either (i) deposited in a deposit or security account of Borrower and applied to the prepayment of LIBOR Loans on the last day of the then next-expiring Interest Period for LIBOR Loans (with all interest accruing thereon for the account of Borrower) or (ii) prepaid immediately, together with any amounts owing to the Lenders under Section 5.05. Notwithstanding any such deposit in such account, interest shall continue to accrue on such Loans until prepayment.
SECTION 2.11.    Replacement of Lenders.
(a)    Borrower shall have the right to replace any Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Assignees (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”), if (x) such Lender is charging Borrower increased costs pursuant to Section 5.01 or 5.06 or such Lender becomes incapable of making LIBOR Loans as provided in Section 5.03 when other Lenders are generally able to do so, (y) such Lender is a Defaulting Lender or (z) such Lender is subject to Disqualification (and such Lender is notified by Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of such Disqualification); provided, however, that (i) at the time of any such replacement, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment Agreements (and with all fees payable pursuant to Section 13.05(b) to be paid by the Replacement Lender or Borrower) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender (or if the Replaced Lender is being replaced as a result of being a Defaulting Lender, then the Replacement Lender shall acquire all Loans and Commitments held by such Defaulting Lender), (ii) at the time of any such replacement, the Replaced Lender shall receive an amount equal to the sum of (A) the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of such Lender (other than any Loans not being acquired by a Replacement Lender), and (B) all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, fees owing to the Lender pursuant to Section 2.05 with respect to the Loans being assigned, as the case may be and (iii) all obligations of Borrower owing to such Replaced Lender (other than those specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of Replaced Lenders for which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid, and other than those relating to Loans or Commitments not being acquired by a Replacement Lender, but including any amounts which would be paid to a Lender pursuant to Section 5.05 if Borrower were prepaying a LIBOR Loan), as applicable, shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender, as applicable, concurrently with such replacement, as the case may be. Upon the execution of the respective Assignment Agreement, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, as applicable, the receipt of any consents that would be required for an assignment of the subject Loans and Commitments to such Replacement Lender in accordance with Section 13.05, the Replacement Lender, if any, shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender, as applicable, shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder and be released of all its obligations as a Lender, except with respect to indemnification provisions applicable to such Lender under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such Lender and, in the case of any Replaced Lender, except with respect to Loans and Commitments of such Replaced Lender not being acquired by the Replacement Lender; provided, that if the applicable Replaced Lender does not execute the Assignment Agreement within three (3) Business Days after Borrower’s request, execution of such Assignment Agreement by the Replaced Lender shall not be required to effect such assignment.

-30-




(b)    If any Lender is subject to a Disqualification (and such Lender is notified by Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of such Disqualification), Borrower shall have the right to replace such Lender with a Replacement Lender in accordance with Section 2.11(a) or prepay the Loans held by such Lender, in each case, in accordance with any applicable provisions of Section 2.11(a), even if a Default or an Event of Default exists (notwithstanding anything contained in such Section 2.11(a) to the contrary). Any such prepayment shall be deemed an optional prepayment, as set forth in Section 2.09 and shall not be required to be made on a pro rata basis with respect to Loans of the same Tranche as the Loans held by such Lender. Notice to such Lender shall be given at least ten (10) days before the required date of transfer or prepayment (unless a shorter period is required by any Requirement of Law), as the case may be, and shall be accompanied by evidence demonstrating that such transfer or redemption is required pursuant to Gaming Laws. Upon receipt of a notice in accordance with the foregoing, the Replaced Lender shall cooperate with Borrower in effectuating the required transfer or prepayment within the time period set forth in such notice, not to be less than the minimum notice period set forth in the foregoing sentence (unless a shorter period is required under any Requirement of Law). Further, if the transfer or prepayment is triggered by notice from the Gaming Authority that the Lender is disqualified, commencing on the date the Gaming Authority provides the disqualification notice to Borrower, to the extent prohibited by law: (i) such Lender shall no longer receive any interest on the Loans; (ii) such Lender shall no longer exercise, directly or through any trustee or nominee, any right conferred by the Loans; and (iii) such Lender shall not receive any remuneration in any form from Borrower for services or otherwise in respect of the Loans.
SECTION 2.12.    [Reserved].
SECTION 2.13.    [Reserved].
SECTION 2.14.    Defaulting Lender Provisions.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply:
(i)    [Intentionally omitted];
(ii)    [Intentionally omitted];
(iii)    Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender under Section 2.05(a); and
(iv)    any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 11 or otherwise) or received by Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 4.07 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent; third, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fourth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and fifth, 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 Loans 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 7.01 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender. 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

-31-




Lender pursuant to this Section 2.14(a)(iv) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(b)    Cure. If Borrower and Administrative Agent agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par such portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders and/or make such other adjustments as Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender (and such exposure of each Lender will automatically be adjusted on a prospective basis to reflect the foregoing); provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(c)    Certain Fees. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to any fees accruing during such period pursuant to Section 2.05 (without prejudice to the rights of the Non-Defaulting Lenders in respect of such fees).

PAYMENTS; PRO RATA TREATMENT; COMPUTATIONS; ETC.
SECTION 4.01.    Payments.
(a)    All payments of principal, interest and other amounts to be made by Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes, and, except to the extent otherwise provided therein, all payments to be made by the Credit Parties under any other Credit Document, shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to Administrative Agent at its account at the Principal Office, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York time, on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date may, at the discretion of Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof.
(b)    Borrower shall, at the time of making each payment under this Agreement or any Note for the account of any Lender, specify (in accordance with Sections 2.09 and 2.10, if applicable) to Administrative Agent (which shall so notify the intended recipient(s) thereof) the Type of Loans or other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied.
(c)    Each payment received by Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any Note for the account of any Lender shall be paid by Administrative Agent to such Lender, in immediately available funds, (x) if the payment was actually received by Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 p.m. (Noon), New York time on any day, on such day and (y) if the payment was actually received by Administrative Agent after 12:00 p.m. (Noon), New York time, on any day, by 1:00 p.m., New York time, on the following Business Day (it being understood that to the extent that any such payment is not made in full by Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent shall pay to such Lender, upon demand, interest at the Federal Funds Rate from the date such amount was required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to the foregoing clauses until the date Administrative Agent pays such Lender the full amount).
(d)    If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or any Note would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall be payable for any principal so extended for the period of such extension at the rate then borne by such principal.
SECTION 4.02.    Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each borrowing of Loans from the Lenders under Section 2.01 shall be made from the relevant Lenders and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments under Section 2.04 shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the relevant Lenders pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments; (b) except as otherwise provided in Section 5.04, LIBOR Loans having the same Interest Period shall be allocated pro rata among the relevant Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments (in the case of the making of Loans) or their respective Loans (in the case of conversions and continuations of Loans); (c) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.10(b), Section 2.14 or Section 13.04, each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans shall be made for the account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid outstanding principal amounts of the Loans held by them; and (d) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.10(b), Section 2.14 or Section 13.04, each payment of interest on Loans shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders.
SECTION 4.03.    Computations. Interest on LIBOR Loans shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such amounts are payable and interest on ABR Loans shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such amounts are payable.

-33-




SECTION 4.04.    Minimum Amounts. Except for mandatory prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.10 and conversions or prepayments made pursuant to Section 5.04, each Borrowing, conversion and partial prepayment of principal of Loans shall be in an amount at least equal to (x) with respect to Borrowings, $50.0 million and (y) with respect to conversions and partial repayments of principal, $5.0 million and, in each case, in multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the remaining Loans. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the aggregate principal amount of LIBOR Loans having the same Interest Period shall be in an amount at least equal to $1.0 million and in multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof and, if any LIBOR Loans or portions thereof would otherwise be in a lesser principal amount for any period, such Loans or portions, as the case may be, shall be ABR Loans during such period.
SECTION 4.05.    Certain Notices. Notices by Borrower to Administrative Agent of terminations or reductions of the Commitments, of Borrowings, conversions, continuations and optional prepayments of Loans, of Types of Loans and of the duration of Interest Periods shall be irrevocable and shall be effective only if received by Administrative Agent by telephone not later than 1:00 p.m., New York time (promptly followed by written notice via facsimile or electronic mail), on at least the number of Business Days prior to the date of the relevant termination, reduction, Borrowing, conversion, continuation or prepayment or the first day of such Interest Period specified in the table below (unless otherwise agreed to by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), provided that Borrower may make any such notice conditional upon the occurrence of a Person’s acquisition or sale or any incurrence of indebtedness or issuance of Equity Interests.

Each such notice of termination or reduction shall specify the amount of the Commitments to be terminated or reduced. Each such Notice of Borrowing, conversion, continuation or prepayment shall specify the Loans to be borrowed, converted, continued or prepaid and the amount (subject to Section 4.04) and Type of each Loan to be borrowed, converted, continued or prepaid and the date of borrowing, conversion, continuation or prepayment (which shall be a Business Day). Each such notice of the duration of an Interest Period shall specify the Loans to which such Interest Period is to relate. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of the contents of each such notice. In the event that Borrower fails to select the Type of Loan within the time period and otherwise as provided in this Section 4.05, such Loan (if outstanding as a LIBOR Loan) will be automatically converted into an ABR Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan or (if outstanding as an ABR Loan) will remain as, or (if not then outstanding) will be made as, an ABR Loan. In the event that Borrower has elected to borrow or convert Loans into LIBOR Loans but fails to select the duration of any Interest Period for any LIBOR Loans within the time period and otherwise as provided in this Section 4.05, such LIBOR Loan shall have an Interest Period of one month.
SECTION 4.06.    Non-Receipt of Funds by Administrative Agent.
(a)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of LIBOR Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of ABR Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of ABR Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the

-34-




applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If 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 Borrower the amount of such interest paid by Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim 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 Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that 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 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 immediately available 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 Federal Funds Rate. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
SECTION 4.07.    Right of Setoff, Sharing of Payments; Etc.
(a)    If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Credit Party agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim a Lender may otherwise have, each Lender shall be entitled, at its option (to the fullest extent permitted by law), subject to obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any deposit (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), or other indebtedness, held by it for the credit or account of such Credit Party at any of its offices, in Dollars or in any other currency, against any principal of or interest on any of such Lender’s Loans or any other amount payable to such Lender hereunder that is not paid when due (regardless of whether such deposit or other indebtedness is then due to such Credit Party), in which case it shall promptly notify such Credit Party thereof; provided, however, that such Lender’s failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof; and provided further that no such right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim shall apply to any funds held for further distribution to any Governmental Authority.
(b)    Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive (other than pursuant to Section 2.10(b), Section 2.11, Article V or Section 13.04 or as otherwise specifically provided herein or in the Fee Letter) any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents (including any guarantee), or otherwise) which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans or fees, the sum of which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such amounts then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such amounts then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations of the respective Credit Party to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all of the Lenders in such amount; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Borrower consents to the foregoing arrangements.
(c)    Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing such participation may exercise all rights of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans or other amounts (as the case may be) owing to such Lender in the amount of such participation.

-35-




(d)    Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other Indebtedness or obligation of any Credit Party. If, under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section 4.07 applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section 4.07 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.
(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.07, in the event that any Defaulting Lender exercises any right of setoff, (i) all amounts so set off will be paid over immediately to Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.14 and, pending such payment, will be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (ii) the Defaulting Lender will provide promptly to Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.
ARTICLE V.    

YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.
SECTION 5.01.    Additional Costs.
(a)    If any Change in Law shall:
(i)    subject any Lender to any Taxes with respect to this Agreement, any Note or any Lender’s participation therein, any Loan made by it (except for (1) any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBO Rate, (2) Covered Taxes and (3) Excluded Taxes);
(ii)    impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBO Rate hereunder; or
(iii)    impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Loans made by such Lender or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to materially increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining LIBOR Loans (or of maintaining its obligation to make any LIBOR Loans), then, in any such case, Borrower shall, within 10 days of written demand therefor, pay such Lender any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, it shall promptly notify Borrower, through Administrative Agent, of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.
(b)    A certificate as to any additional amounts setting forth the calculation of such additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.01 submitted by such Lender, through Administrative Agent, to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of clearly demonstrable error. Without limiting the survival of any other covenant hereunder, this Section 5.01 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other Obligations payable hereunder.
(c)    In the event that any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or the Lender’s holding company with regard to capital or liquidity requirements, does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such 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

-36-




adequacy), then from time to time, after submission by such Lender or Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor (setting forth in reasonable detail the amount payable to the affected Lender and the basis for such request), Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction.
(d)    Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 5.01 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 5.01 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than ninety (90) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs incurred or reductions suffered and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
SECTION 5.02.    Inability To Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period: (a) Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Base Rate for such Interest Period or (b) Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that Dollar deposits are not available in the relevant amount and for the relevant Interest Period available to the Required Lenders in the London interbank market or (c) the Required Lenders determine that the LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such LIBOR Loans (in each case, “Impacted Loans”), Administrative Agent shall give electronic mail or telephonic notice thereof to Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereof. If such notice is given, (x) any LIBOR Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to LIBOR Loans shall be converted to, or continued as, ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding LIBOR Loans shall be converted, on the first day of such Interest Period, to ABR Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by Administrative Agent (which the Administrative Agent agrees to do if the circumstances giving rise to such notice cease to exist), no further LIBOR Loans shall be made, or continued as such, nor shall Borrower have the right to convert Loans to, LIBOR Loans.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there are Impacted Loans as provided above, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with Borrower 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 (to the extent Borrower does not elect to maintain such Impacted Loans as ABR Loans) until (1) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans (which the Administrative Agent agrees to do if the circumstances giving rise to Impacted Loans cease to exist), (2) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and Borrower 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 Office 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 Borrower written notice thereof.
SECTION 5.03.    Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that any change after the date hereof in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Loans hereunder (and, in the sole opinion of such Lender, the designation of a different Applicable Lending Office would either not avoid such unlawfulness or would be disadvantageous to such Lender), then such Lender shall promptly notify Borrower thereof (with a copy to Administrative Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or continue, or to convert Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 5.04 shall be applicable).
SECTION 5.04.    Treatment of Affected Loans. If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to continue, or to convert ABR Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.03, such Lender’s

-37-




LIBOR Loans shall be automatically converted into ABR Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for such LIBOR Loans (or on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to Borrower with a copy to Administrative Agent as is required by law) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 5.03 which gave rise to such conversion no longer exist:
(i)    to the extent that such Lender’s LIBOR Loans have been so converted, all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be applied instead to its ABR Loans; and
(ii)    all Loans which would otherwise be made or continued by such Lender as LIBOR Loans shall be made or continued instead as ABR Loans and all ABR Loans of such Lender which would otherwise be converted into LIBOR Loans shall remain as ABR Loans.
If such Lender gives notice to Borrower with a copy to Administrative Agent that the circumstances specified in Section 5.03 which gave rise to the conversion of such Lender’s LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section 5.04 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBOR Loans are outstanding, such Lender’s ABR Loans shall be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding LIBOR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.
SECTION 5.05.    Compensation.
(a)    Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense (excluding any loss of profits or margin) which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (1) default by Borrower in payment when due of the principal amount of or interest on any LIBOR Loan, (2) default by Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of LIBOR Loans after Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (3) Borrower making any prepayment other than on the date specified in the relevant prepayment notice, or (4) the conversion or the making of a payment or a prepayment (including any repayments or prepayments made pursuant to Sections 2.09 or 2.10 or as a result of an acceleration of Loans pursuant to Section 11.01 or as a result of the replacement of a Lender pursuant to Section 2.11 or 13.04(b)) of LIBOR Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, including in each case, any such loss (excluding any loss of profits or margin) or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by it or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.
(b)    For the purpose of calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 5.05 each Lender shall be deemed to have actually funded its relevant LIBOR Loan through the purchase of a deposit bearing interest at the LIBO Base Rate in an amount equal to the amount of the LIBOR Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit, and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this subsection. Any Lender requesting compensation pursuant to this Section 5.05 will furnish to Administrative Agent and Borrower a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of such request and such certificate, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive. Without limiting the survival of any other covenant hereunder, this covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder.
SECTION 5.06.    Net Payments.
(a)    Except as provided in this Section 5.06(a), all payments made by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party hereunder or under any Note, Guarantee or other Credit Document will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense. Except as required by law, all such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any Taxes (including Taxes imposed or asserted on amounts payable under this Section 5.06). If, however, applicable laws require any withholding agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such laws as reasonably determined by such withholding agent. The applicable withholding agent shall timely pay the amount of any Taxes deducted or withheld in respect of a payment made by a

-38-




Credit Party hereunder or under any note, Guarantee or other Credit Document to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If any Credit Party is the applicable withholding agent, Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent within 45 days after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent evidencing such payment by the applicable Credit Party. If any Covered Taxes are so deducted or withheld by any applicable withholding agent, then the applicable Credit Party agrees to increase the sum payable by such Credit Party so that, after such deduction or withholding (including such deduction or withholding on account of Covered Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.06) the amount received by each Lender or, in the case of payments made to the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent, will not be less than the amount such recipient would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made. The Credit Parties agree to jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and reimburse any of them upon written request, for the amount of any Covered Taxes that are levied or imposed and paid by such indemnitee (including Covered Taxes imposed or asserted on amounts payable under this Section 5.06) and for any reasonable expenses arising therefrom in each case, whether or not such Covered Taxes were correctly or legally imposed, other than any interest or penalties that are determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Such written request shall include a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of such request and such certificate, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive.

(b)    (i)    Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to any payments made under any Credit Document shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower 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 set forth in Section 5.06(b)(ii), (c), and (d) below) 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.06(b), no Lender shall be required to provide any documentation that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.
(ii)    Any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two executed original copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding. Any Foreign Lender shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two executed original copies of whichever of the following is applicable: (1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to an applicable income tax treaty; (2) IRS Form W-8ECI; (3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of 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 that no interest payments in connection with any Credit Documents are effectively connected with such Foreign Lender’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business and (y) IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E; or (4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a partnership or participating Lender), IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 or Exhibit D-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and not a participating Lender and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S.

-39-




Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner. Any Foreign Lender shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two executed original 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so.

(a)    On the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent shall provide Borrower with two executed original copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any applicable successor forms) properly completed and duly executed to treat the Administrative Agent as a U.S. person (as described in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1(e)(3)(v)) or IRS Form W-9.
(b)    If a payment made to a Lender under any Credit 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 Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or 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 Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment.
(c)    In addition, Borrower agrees to timely pay any present or future stamp, documentary, recording, intangible, filing or similar Taxes which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any other Credit Document or from the execution, delivery, filing, performance, enforcement, recordation or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Credit Document, except any such Taxes that are imposed with respect to an assignment (other than an assignment made pursuant to Section 2.11(a) at the request of Borrower) if such Tax is imposed as a result of a present or former connection of the transferor or transferee with the jurisdiction imposing such Tax (other than connections arising from having executed, delivered, become a party to, performed its obligations under, received payments under, received or perfected a security interest under, engaged in any other transaction pursuant to or enforced any Credit Document) (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).
(d)    Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 5.06 agrees to use (at the Credit Parties’ expense) reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if the making of such change would avoid the need for, or in the opinion of such Lender, materially reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.
(e)    If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.06 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.06), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional

-40-




amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
ARTICLE VI.    

GUARANTEES
SECTION 6.01.    The Guarantees. Each (a) Guarantor, jointly and severally with each other Guarantor, hereby guarantees as primary obligor and not as surety to the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns the prompt payment and performance in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, demand or otherwise) of the principal of and interest (including any interest, fees, costs or charges that would accrue but for the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code after any bankruptcy or insolvency petition under the Bankruptcy Code) on the Loans made by the Lenders to, and the Notes held by each Lender of, Borrower, and (b) Credit Party, jointly and severally with each other Credit Party, hereby guarantees as primary obligor and not as surety to the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and assigns the prompt payment and performance in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest (including any interest, fees, costs or charges that would accrue but for the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code after any bankruptcy or insolvency petition under the Bankruptcy Code) of all other Obligations from time to time owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by any other Credit Party under any Credit Document, in each case now or hereinafter created, incurred or made, whether absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated and strictly in accordance with the terms thereof (such obligations being guaranteed pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations” (it being understood that the Guaranteed Obligations of Borrower shall be limited to those referred to in clause (b) above)). Each Credit Party, jointly and severally with each other Credit Party, hereby agrees that if any other Credit Party shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, such Credit Party will promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.
SECTION 6.02.    Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Credit Parties under Section 6.01 shall constitute a guaranty of payment (and not of collection) and are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations under this Agreement, the Notes or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor (except for payment in full). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of any of the Credit Parties with respect to its respective guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations which shall remain absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above:
(i)    at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Credit Parties, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;
(ii)    the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be amended in any respect, or any right under the Credit Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be amended or waived in any respect or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;
(iii)    the release of any other Credit Party pursuant to Section 6.08;

-41-




(iv)    any renewal, extension or acceleration of, or any increase in the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, the Credit Documents;
(v)    any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, delay in enforcement, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under any Credit Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(vi)    any settlement, compromise, release, or discharge of, or acceptance or refusal of any offer of payment or performance with respect to, or any substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any subordination of the Guaranteed Obligations to any other obligations;
(vii)    the validity, perfection, non-perfection or lapse in perfection, priority or avoidance of any security interest or lien, the release of any or all collateral securing, or purporting to secure, the Guaranteed Obligations or any other impairment of such collateral;
(viii)    any exercise of remedies with respect to any security for the Guaranteed Obligations at such time and in such order and in such manner as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may decide and whether or not every aspect thereof is commercially reasonable and whether or not such action constitutes an election of remedies and even if such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy that any Credit Party would otherwise have; or
(ix)    any other circumstance whatsoever which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Credit Party as a guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any Credit Party as a guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or of such Credit Party under the guarantee contained in this Article 6 or of any security interest granted by any Credit Party in its capacity as a guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether in a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or under any other federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, or similar law, or in any other instance.
The Credit Parties hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest, marshaling and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any Agent or Lender thereof exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Credit Party under this Agreement or the Notes or any 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. The Credit Parties waive any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver, termination or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Agent or Lender thereof upon this guarantee or acceptance of this guarantee, and the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this guarantee, and all dealings between the Credit Parties, the Agents and the Lenders shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this guarantee. This guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payment and performance without regard to any right of offset with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations at any time or from time to time held by the Agents and the Lenders, and the obligations and liabilities of the Credit Parties hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Agents, the Lenders or any other Person at any time of any right or remedy against any Credit Party or against any other Person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or against any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto. This guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Credit Parties and the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of this Agreement there may be no Guaranteed Obligations outstanding.

-42-




For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6.02 shall permit amendments to the Credit Documents or an acceleration of the Obligations other than as set forth in the Credit Documents.
SECTION 6.03.    Reinstatement. The obligations of the Credit Parties under this Article VI shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Credit Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise. The Credit Parties jointly and severally agree that they will indemnify each Agent and Lender on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable fees of counsel) incurred by such Agent or Lender in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, other than any costs or expenses resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of, or material breach by, such Agent or Lender.
SECTION 6.04.    Subrogation; Subordination. Each Credit Party hereby agrees that until the payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations and the expiration and termination of the Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement it shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 6.01, whether by subrogation, contribution or otherwise, against any Credit Party of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations. The payment of any amounts due with respect to any indebtedness of any Credit Party now or hereafter owing to any Credit Party by reason of any payment by such Credit Party under the Guarantee in this Article VI is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Credit Party agrees that it will not demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any such indebtedness of any other Credit Party to such Credit Party until the Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and any amounts are paid to the Credit Parties in violation of the foregoing limitation, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by such Credit Party as trustee for the Agents and the Lenders and be paid over to Administrative Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations without affecting in any manner the liability of such Credit Party under the other provisions of the guaranty contained herein.
SECTION 6.05.    Remedies. The Credit Parties jointly and severally agree that, as between the Credit Parties and the Lenders, the obligations of any Credit Party under this Agreement and the Notes may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Article XI (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in said Article XI) for purposes of Section 6.01, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable arising under the Bankruptcy Code or any other federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other law providing for protection from creditors) as against such other Credit Parties and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the other Credit Parties for purposes of Section 6.01.
SECTION 6.06.    Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Article VI is a continuing guarantee of payment, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.
SECTION 6.07.    General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Credit Party under Section 6.01 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 6.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Credit Party, any Agent, any Lender or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.
SECTION 6.08.    Release of Guarantors. If, in compliance with the terms and provisions of the Credit Documents, the Equity Interests of any Guarantor are directly or indirectly sold or otherwise transferred such that such Guarantor no longer constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary (a “Transferred Guarantor”) to a Person or Persons, none of

-43-




which is Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary, such Transferred Guarantor, upon the consummation of such sale or transfer, shall be automatically released from its obligations under this Agreement (including under Section 13.03 hereof) and the other Credit Documents.
SECTION 6.09.    [reserved].
SECTION 6.10.     Right of Contribution. Each Credit Party hereby agrees that to the extent that a Credit Party (a “Funding Credit Party”) shall have paid more than its Fair Share (as defined below) of any payment made hereunder, such Credit Party shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Credit Party hereunder which has not paid its Fair Share of such payment. Each Credit Party’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 6.04. The provisions of this Section 6.10 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Credit Party to the Agents and the Lenders, and each Credit Party shall remain liable to the Agents and the Lenders for the full amount guaranteed by such Credit Party hereunder. “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Credit Party as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (i) the ratio of (A) the Adjusted Maximum Amount (as defined below) with respect to such Credit Party to (B) the aggregate of the Adjusted Maximum Amounts with respect to all Credit Parties multiplied by (ii) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Credit Parties under this Article VI in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations. “Fair Share Shortfall” means, with respect to a Credit Party as of any date of determination, the excess, if any, of the Fair Share of such Credit Party over the Aggregate Payments of such Credit Party. “Adjusted Maximum Amount” means, with respect to a Credit Party as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Credit Party under this Article VI; provided that, solely for purposes of calculating the “Adjusted Maximum Amount” with respect to any Credit Party for purposes of this Section 6.10, any assets or liabilities of such Credit Party arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Credit Party. “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to a Credit Party as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (i) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Credit party in respect of this Article VI (including in respect of this Section 6.10) minus (ii) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Credit Party from the other Credit Parties as contributions under this Section 6.10. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Credit Party.

Borrower will maintain in effect and enforce policies and procedures designed to monitor compliance by Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with applicable Sanctions and laws related to bribery and anti-corruption.
SECTION 9.07.    Limitation on Designation of Immaterial Subsidiaries.
(a)    If for any reason the aggregate fair market value of the assets of all the Immaterial Subsidiaries exceeds the Immaterial Subsidiary Threshold Amount, then, promptly after the occurrence of such event that causes the aggregate fair market value of all Immaterial Subsidiaries to exceed the Immaterial Subsidiary Threshold Amount, Borrower shall designate (an “Excluded Designation”) one or more Immaterial Subsidiaries as no longer constituting Immaterial Subsidiaries for all purposes of this Agreement (an “Excluded Immaterial Subsidiary”) as may be necessary to ensure that the Immaterial Subsidiary Threshold is satisfied. Borrower may redesignate (a “Redesignation”) an Excluded Immaterial Subsidiary as constituting an Immaterial Subsidiary for purposes of this Agreement so long as such redesignated Excluded Immaterial Subsidiary is in compliance with the requirements of the definition of Immaterial Subsidiary and such Redesignation does not cause or otherwise result in the aggregate fair market value of the assets of all Immaterial Subsidiaries (after giving effect to the Redesignation of the Excluded Immaterial Subsidiary as an Immaterial Subsidiary) to exceed the Immaterial Subsidiary Threshold Amount. For purposes of this Section 9.07(a), fair market value shall be determined as of the most recent Calculation Date.
(b)    Any such Excluded Designation or Redesignation must be evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of Borrower delivered to Administrative Agent with the Responsible Officer executing such certificate certifying compliance with the foregoing provisions of Section 9.07(a).
SECTION 9.08.    Syndication Assistance.
(a)     Promptly upon the occurrence of the Closing Date, Borrower shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Lead Arranger in completing a syndication that is reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Arranger and Borrower until the earlier of (x) 30 days after the Closing Date and (y) the date on which a Successful Syndication is achieved (such earlier date, the “Syndication Date”). Such assistance shall include Borrower using commercially reasonable efforts in (i) providing and causing Borrower’s advisors to provide the Lead Arranger and the Lenders upon request with all information reasonably deemed necessary by the Lead Arranger to complete syndication (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any projections or forward-looking information other than such as been provided prior to March 9, 2018); (ii) assisting in the preparation of a customary information memorandum that is reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Arranger and Borrower and other customary materials to be used in connection with the syndication of the Loans; (iii) using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the syndication efforts of the Lead Arranger benefit from Borrower’s existing lending and banking relationships and (iv) otherwise assisting the Lead Arranger in its syndication efforts, including by making Borrower’s senior management and advisors available from time to time to attend and make presentations regarding the business and prospects of Borrower and its subsidiaries, as appropriate, at one or more meetings of prospective Lenders at times and locations to be mutually agreed upon.
(b)    Borrower hereby agrees that if at any time prior to the Syndication Date, any of the representations set forth in Section 8.16 would be incorrect in any material respect if the Information or Projections were being furnished, and such representations were being made, at such time, then Borrower shall promptly supplement, or cause to be supplemented, the Information and the Projections so that such representations will be correct in all material respects at such time.

ARTICLE XII.    

AGENTS
SECTION 12.01.    Appointment. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints DB to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Credit 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, including pursuant to regulatory requirements of any Gaming Authority consistent with the intents and purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize each of the Agents (other than the Administrative Agent) to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the Lenders, and neither Borrower nor any other Credit Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions of this Article XII, except to the extent set forth in this Section 12.01 and Section 12.06. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Credit Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

-61-




SECTION 12.02.    Rights as a Lender. Any Person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender (if applicable) as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as such Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
SECTION 12.03.    Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, and each Agent’s duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Agent:
(a)    shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties with respect to any Credit Party, any Lender or any other Person, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(b)    shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Credit Documents that the Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Credit Documents), provided that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and
(c)    shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any of Borrower or any of its respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or, such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.01 and 13.04) 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. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given in writing to such Agent by Borrower or a Lender.
No Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit 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, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or the creation, perfection or priority of any lien purported to be created by the Escrow Agreement or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article VII or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.
The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for, and shall not incur any liability with respect to, determining whether any assignee or potential assignee of the Loans or Commitments hereunder is a Disqualified Lender. The Administrative Agent does not warrant, nor accept responsibility, nor shall the Administrative Agent have any liability with respect to the administration, submission or any other matter related to the rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” or with respect to any comparable or successor rate thereto.
SECTION 12.04.    Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any

-62-




statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless such Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
SECTION 12.05.    Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Credit Document by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by such Agent. Each 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 each 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 an Agent. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non appealable judgment that an Agent acted with gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.
SECTION 12.06.    Resignation of Administrative Agent.
(a)    The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of their resignation to the Lenders and Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the prior written consent of Borrower (unless an Event of Default specified in Section 11.01(b) or 11.01(c) or an Event of Default specified in Section 11.01(g) or 11.01(h) with respect to Borrower has occurred and is continuing) 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 their resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders and Borrower (unless an Event of Default specified in Section 11.01(b) or 11.01(c) or an Event of Default specified in Section 11.01(g) or 11.01(h) with respect to Borrower has occurred and is continuing)) (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. 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 (iii) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with Borrower, 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 Credit 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 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 Credit Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After the

-63-




retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 13.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub agents and its Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
SECTION 12.07.    Nonreliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any 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 any 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 Credit Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
SECTION 12.08.    Indemnification. The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such ratably according with its “percentage” as used in determining the Required Lenders at such time or, if the Commitments have terminated and all Loans have been repaid in full, as determined immediately prior to such termination and repayment (with such “percentages” to be determined as if there are no Defaulting Lenders), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, reasonable expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in its capacity as such in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing, but only to the extent that any of the foregoing is not paid by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable to any Agent for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements (x) resulting primarily from the gross negligence, or willful misconduct of such Agent (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) or (y) relating to or arising out of the Fee Letter. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished. The agreements in this Section 12.08 shall survive the payment of all Obligations.
SECTION 12.09.    No Other Duties. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Administrative Agent or the Lead Arranger shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.
SECTION 12.10.    Holders. Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment, transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with Administrative Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person or entity who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or indorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.
SECTION 12.11.    Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, 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 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 Agents and the Lenders (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agents and the Lenders and their respective agents and

-64-




counsel and all other amounts due the Agents and the Lenders under Sections 2.05 and 13.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b)    to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such 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 other Agents and 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 2.05 and 13.03.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Agent or any Lender to any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Agent or any Lender to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Agent or any Lender in any such proceeding.
SECTION 12.12.    Intentionally omitted.
SECTION 12.13.    Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable Requirement of Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender, an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 5.06, each Lender shall, indemnify the relevant Administrative Agent (to the extent that Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Credit Parties and without limiting or expanding the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), and shall make payable in respect thereof within thirty (30) calendar days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent by the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of Administrative Agent to properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not property executed, or because such Lender failed to notify Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement against any amount due Administrative Agent under this Section 12.13. The agreements in this Section 12.13 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of any Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
SECTION 12.14.    Certain ERISA Matters.
(a)    Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of Borrower, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

ARTICLE XIII.    

MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 13.01.    Waiver. No failure on the part of Administrative Agent, any other Agent or any Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege under any Credit Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under any Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
SECTION 13.02.    Notices.

Notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in Section 13.02(b) below, shall be effective as provided in such Section 13.02(b).
(b)    Electronic Communications. 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 Administrative Agent; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article II, Article III or Article IV if such Lender has notified Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. Each Agent or any Credit Party 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 Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an electronic 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 electronic mail address or other written acknowledgement); provided, however, that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business

Borrower shall indemnify each Indemnitee from all Losses resulting from the reliance by such Indemnitee on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower (except to the extent resulting from such Indemnitee’s own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or material breach of any Credit Document) and believed by such Indemnitee in good faith to be genuine. All telephonic notices to and other communications with Administrative Agent may be recorded by Administrative Agent and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.
(e)    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 BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM BORROWER MATERIALS.

In no event shall any Agent or any of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents, trustees, investment advisors and attorneys-in-fact (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to Borrower, any other Credit Party, 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 Borrower’s or Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of, or material breach of any Credit Document by, such Agent Party; provided however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to Borrower, any other Credit Party, any Lender or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages).
SECTION 13.03.    Expenses, Indemnification, Etc.
(a)    The Credit Parties, jointly and severally, agree to pay or reimburse:
(i)    Agents for all of their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, but limited to in the case of counsel, the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of one primary legal counsel for Lenders and Agents selected by Administrative Agent and one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction reasonably deemed necessary by Agents and any “ClearPar” costs and expenses) in connection with (1) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of the Credit Documents and the extension and syndication of credit (including the Loans and Commitments) hereunder and (2) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of any modification, supplement, amendment or waiver of any of the terms of any Credit Document (whether or not consummated or effective) requested by the Credit Parties;
(ii)    each Agent and each Lender for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such Agent or Lender (provided that any legal expenses shall be limited to the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of one primary legal counsel for Lenders and Agents selected by Administrative

-68-




Agent and of one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction reasonably deemed necessary by Agents) (and solely in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, where the Persons affected by such conflict inform Borrower in writing of the existence of an actual or perceived conflict of interest prior to retaining additional counsel, one additional of each such counsel for each group of similarly situated Agents and Lenders)) in connection with (1) any enforcement or collection proceedings resulting from any Event of Default, including all manner of participation in or other involvement with (x) bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, foreclosure, winding up or liquidation proceedings, (y) judicial or regulatory proceedings and (z) workout, restructuring or other negotiations or proceedings (whether or not the workout, restructuring or transaction contemplated thereby is consummated), (2) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the enforcement of any Credit Document and (3) the enforcement of this Section 13.03; and
(iii)    Administrative Agent for all reasonable and documented costs, expenses, assessments and other charges (including reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel in each applicable jurisdiction) incurred in connection with any filing, registration, recording or perfection of any security interest contemplated by any Credit Document or any other document referred to therein.
Without limiting the rights of any Agent under this Section 13.03(a), each Agent, promptly after a request of Borrower from time to time, will advise Borrower of an estimate of any amount anticipated to be incurred by such Agent and reimbursed by Borrower under this Section 13.03(a).
(b)    The Credit Parties, jointly and severally, hereby agree to indemnify each Agent, each Lender and their respective Affiliates, directors, trustees, officers, employees, representatives, advisors, partners and agents (each, an “Indemnitee”) from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all Losses incurred by, imposed on or asserted against any of them directly or indirectly arising out of or by reason of or relating to the negotiation, execution, delivery, performance, administration or enforcement of any Credit Document, any of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents (including the Transactions), any breach by any Credit Party of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained in any Credit Document in connection with any of the Transactions, the use or proposed use of any of the Loans or the use of any collateral security for the Obligations (including the exercise by any Agent or Lender of the rights and remedies or any power of attorney with respect thereto or any action or inaction in respect thereof), including all amounts payable by any Lender pursuant to Section 12.08, but excluding (i) any such Losses relating to matters referred to in Sections 5.01 or 5.06 (which shall be the sole remedy in respect of matters referred to therein), (ii) any such Losses arising from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or material breach of any Credit Documents by such Indemnitee or its Related Indemnified Persons (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision), and (iii) any such Losses relating to any dispute between and among Indemnitees that does not involve an act or omission by any Company (other than any claims against Administrative Agent or any other agent or bookrunner named on the cover page hereto, in each case, acting in such capacities or fulfilling such roles). For purposes of this Section 13.03(b), a “Related Indemnified Person” of an Indemnitee means (1) any controlling person or controlled affiliate of such Indemnitee, (2) the respective directors, officers, or employees of such Indemnitee or any of its controlling persons or controlled Affiliates and (3) the respective agents of such Indemnitee or any of its controlling persons or controlled Affiliates, in the case of this clause (3), acting at the instructions of such Indemnitee, controlling person or such controlled Affiliate; provided that each reference to a controlled Affiliate or controlling person in this sentence pertains to a controlled Affiliate or controlling person involved in the performance of the Indemnitee’s obligations under the facilities.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Credit Parties, jointly and severally, will indemnify each Agent, each Lender and each other Indemnitee from, and hold each Agent, each Lender and each other Indemnitee harmless against, any Losses incurred by, imposed on or asserted against any of them arising under any Environmental Law as a result of (i) the past, present or future operations of any Company (or any predecessor-in-interest to any Company), (ii) the past, present or future condition of any site or facility owned, operated, leased or used at any time by any Company (or any such predecessor-in-interest) to the extent such Losses arise from or relate to the parties’ relationship under the Credit Documents or to any Company’s (or such predecessor-in-interest’s) (A) ownership, operation, lease or use of such site or facility or (B) any aspect of the respective business or operations of such parties, and, in each case shall include, without limitation, any and all such Losses for which any Company could be found

-69-




liable, or (iii) any Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Materials at, on, under or from any such site or facility to the extent such Losses arise from or relate to the parties’ relationship under the Credit Documents or to any Company’s (or such predecessor-in-interest’s) (A) ownership, operation, lease or use of such site or facility or (B) any aspect of the respective business or operations of such parties, and, in each case shall include, without limitation, any and all such Losses for which any Company could be found liable, including any such Release or threatened Release that shall occur during any period when any Agent or Lender shall be in possession of any such site or facility following the exercise by such Agent or Lender, as the case may be, of any of its rights and remedies hereunder; provided, however, that the indemnity hereunder shall be subject to the exclusions from indemnification set forth in the preceding sentence.
To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify and hold harmless set forth in this Section 13.03 or any other provision of any Credit Document providing for indemnification is unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy or otherwise, the Credit Parties, jointly and severally, shall contribute the maximum portion that each of them is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all indemnified liabilities incurred by any of the Persons indemnified hereunder.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and the parties hereto hereby waive, any claim against any Person, 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 Credit 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 sentence shall limit the Credit Parties’ indemnity and reimbursement obligations to the extent set forth in this Section 13.03 (including the Credit Parties’ indemnity and reimbursement obligations to indemnify the Indemnitees for indirect, special, punitive or consequential damage that are included in any third party claim in connection with which such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder). No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or material breach of any Credit Document by such Indemnitee as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Borrower shall not be liable for any settlement effected without the Borrower’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), but if settled with the Borrower’s written consent or if there is a final judgment in any such proceedings, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment in accordance with this Section 13.03(b).
SECTION 13.04.    Amendments and Waiver.
(a)    Neither this Agreement nor any other Credit Document nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, modified, changed or waived, unless such amendment, modification, change or waiver is in writing signed by the respective Credit Parties party thereto and the Required Lenders (or Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders); provided, however, that no such amendment, modification, change or waiver shall (and any such amendment, modification, change or waiver set forth below in clauses (i) through (vi) of this Section 13.04(a) shall only require the approval of the Agents and/or Lenders whose consent is required therefor pursuant to such clauses):
(i)    extend the date for any scheduled payment of principal on any Loan or Note or extend the termination date of any of the Commitments, increase any Commitments, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest (other than as a result of any waiver of the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or fees thereon, or forgive or reduce the principal amount thereof, without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i), notwithstanding the fact that such amendment or modification actually results in such a reduction);
(ii)    release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from the Guarantees, without the consent of each Lender;

-70-




(iii)    amend, modify, change or waive (x) any provision of Section 11.02 or this Section 13.04 without the consent of each Lender, or (y) any other provision of any Credit Document or any other provision of this Agreement that expressly provides that the consent of all Lenders is required, without the consent of each Lender;
(iv)    reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders or otherwise amend the definition of Required Lenders without the consent of each Lender; or
(v)    amend, modify, change or waive Section 4.02 or Section 4.07(b) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;
provided, further, that no such amendment, modification, change or waiver shall (A) increase the Commitments of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the total Commitments or a waiver of a mandatory prepayment shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of any Lender), or (B) without the consent of any applicable Agent, amend, modify, change or waive any provision as same relates to the rights or obligations of such Agent; provided, however, the Required Lenders may waive, in whole or in part, any prepayment so long as the application of any portion of such prepayment which is still required to be made is not altered. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that (x) the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Defaulting Lender, (y) the principal and accrued and unpaid interest of such Defaulting Lender’s Loans shall not be reduced or forgiven (other than as a result of any waiver of the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), nor shall the date for any scheduled payment of any such amounts be postponed, without the consent of such Defaulting Lender (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (y), notwithstanding the fact that such amendment or modification actually results in such a reduction) and (z) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.
In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Fee Letter may only be amended or changed, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, only by the parties thereto in accordance with the respective provisions thereof.
(b)    If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, change or waiver of or to any of the provisions of this Agreement, the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then Borrower shall have the right, so long as all non-consenting Lenders whose individual consent is required are treated as described in either clause (A) or (B) below, to either:
(A) replace each such non-consenting Lender or Lenders with one or more Replacement Lenders, so long as, at the time of such replacement, each such Replacement Lender consents to the proposed amendment, modification, change or waiver; provided, further, that (i) at the time of any such replacement, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment Agreements (and with all fees payable pursuant to Section 13.05(b) to be paid by the Replacement Lender) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the Commitments and outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender, (ii) at the time of any replacement, the Replaced Lender shall receive an amount equal to the sum of (A) the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of such Lender (other than any Loans not being acquired by the Replacement Lender), and (B) all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, fees and other amounts owing to the Lender with respect to the Loans being so assigned and (iii) all obligations of Borrower owing to such Replaced Lender (other than those specifically described in clause (ii) above in respect of Replaced Lenders for which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid, and other than those relating to Loans or Commitments not being acquired by the Replacement Lender, but including any amounts which would be

-71-




paid to a Lender pursuant to Section 5.05 if Borrower were prepaying a LIBOR Loan), as applicable, shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender, as applicable, concurrently with such replacement. Upon the execution of the respective Assignment Agreement, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, as applicable, the receipt of any consents that would be required for an assignment of the subject Loans and Commitments to such Replacement Lender in accordance with Section 13.05, the Replacement Lender, if any, shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender, as applicable, shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder and be released of all its obligations as a Lender, except with respect to indemnification provisions applicable to such Lender under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such Lender and, in the case of any Replaced Lender, except with respect to Loans and Commitments of such Replaced Lender not being acquired by the Replacement Lender; provided, that if the applicable Replaced Lender does not execute the Assignment Agreement within three (3) Business Days after Borrower’s request, execution of such Assignment Agreement by the Replaced Lender shall not be required to effect such assignment; or
(B) terminate such non-consenting Lender’s Commitment and/or repay Loans held by such Lender, in either case, upon three (3) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as is acceptable to Administrative Agent) prior written notice to Administrative Agent at the Principal Office (which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders). Any such prepayment of the Loans or termination of the Commitments of such Lender shall be made together with accrued and unpaid interest, fees and other amounts owing to such Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 5.05). Immediately upon any repayment of Loans by Borrower pursuant to this Section 13.04(b)(B), such Loans repaid or acquired pursuant hereto shall be cancelled for all purposes and no longer outstanding (and may not be resold, assigned or participated out by Borrower) for all purposes of this Agreement and all other Credit Documents (provided, that such purchases and cancellations shall not constitute prepayments or repayments of the Loans for any purpose hereunder), including, but not limited to (A) the making of, or the application of, any payments to the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (B) the making of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (C) the providing of any rights to Borrower as a Lender under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, and (D) the determination of Required Lenders, or for any similar or related purpose, under this Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided, however, that, unless the Commitments which are terminated and Loans which are repaid pursuant to this clause (B) are immediately replaced in full at such time through the addition of new Lenders or the increase of the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of existing Lenders (who in each case must consent thereto), then, in the case of any action pursuant to this clause (B), the Required Lenders (determined after giving effect to the proposed action) shall specifically consent thereto;
provided, that Borrower shall not have the right to replace a Lender, or terminate the Commitments of or repay the Loans of a Lender under this Section 13.04(b), solely as a result of the exercise of such Lender’s rights (and the withholding of any required consent by such Lender) pursuant to clauses (A) and (B) of the second proviso to Section 13.04(a).
(c)    [intentionally omitted].
(d)    [intentionally omitted].

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, additional extensions of credit consented to by Required Lenders shall be permitted hereunder on a ratable basis with the existing Loans (including sharing of prepayments).

SECTION 13.05.    Benefit of Agreement; Assignments; Participations.
(a)    This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, no Credit Party may assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder or under any other Credit Document (it being understood that a merger or consolidation not prohibited by this Agreement shall not constitute an assignment or transfer) without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders and provided, further, that, although any Lender may transfer, assign or grant participations in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Commitments, Loans or related Obligations hereunder except as provided in Section 13.05(b)) and the participant shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder; and provided, further, that no Lender shall transfer, assign or grant any participation (x) to a natural person, (y) to a Disqualified Lender (unless consented to by Borrower) or (z) under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the date for any scheduled payment on, or the final scheduled maturity of, any Loan or Note in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the total Commitments or of a mandatory prepayment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, that an increase in any Commitment (or the available portion thereof) or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof and that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in any rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i), notwithstanding the fact that such amendment or modification actually results in such a reduction), or (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or other Credit Document to which it is a party. In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto). Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph (a), Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.01, and 5.06 (subject to the obligations and limitations of such Sections, including Section 5.06(b), (c) and (d) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.06(b), (c) and (d) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 13.05. To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.07 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”). 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. No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of a 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 Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Treasury Regulations Section 5f.103-1(c) and Proposed Treasury Regulations Section 1.163-5(b) (or any amended or successor version). A participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 5.01 or 5.06 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, unless the entitlement to a greater payment results from any change in applicable Laws after the date the participant became a participant.
(b)    No Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other Lenders) may assign all or any portion of its Commitments, Loans and related outstanding Obligations (or, if the Commitments with respect to the Loans have terminated, outstanding Loans and Obligations) hereunder, except to one or more Eligible Assignees (treating any fund that invests in loans and any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of such fund or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor as a single Eligible Assignee) with the consent of Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default pursuant to Section 11.01(b) or 11.01(c), or, with respect to Borrower, 11.01(g) or 11.01(h), has occurred and is continuing, Borrower (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

-73-




provided that (x) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments and Loans at the time owing to it, the aggregate amount of the Commitments or Loans subject to such assignment shall not be less than $1.0 million; (y) no such consent of Borrower shall be necessary in the case of an assignment of Loans by a Lender to (A) its parent company and/or any Affiliate of such Lender which is at least 50% owned by such Lender or its parent company or (B) one or more other Lenders or any Affiliate of any such other Lender which is at least 50% owned by such other Lender or its parent company (provided that any fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of another fund which is a Lender (or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor) shall be treated as an Affiliate that is at least 50% owned by such other Lender or its parent company for the purposes of this sub-clause (x)(ii)(B)), or (C) in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in loans, any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of any Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor, and (z) Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default pursuant to Section 11.01(b) or 11.01(c), or, with respect to Borrower, 11.01(g) or 11.01(h), has occurred and is continuing, no assignment will be permitted to any Lender that will result in such Lender holding, collectively with its Affiliates (including any Person deemed to be an Affiliate for purposes of sub-clause (x)(ii)(B) above), Loans and Commitments having an aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million, or greater, without the prior written consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after a Responsible Officer has received notice thereof. Each assignee shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment Agreement; provided that (I) Administrative Agent shall, unless it otherwise agrees in its sole discretion, receive at the time of each such assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500, (II) no such transfer or assignment will be effective until recorded by Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 2.08, and (III) such assignments may be made on a pro rata basis among Commitments and/or Loans (and related Obligations). To the extent of any assignment permitted pursuant to this Section 13.05(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Commitments and outstanding Loans (provided that such assignment shall not release such Lender of any claims or liabilities that may exist against such Lender at the time of such assignment). At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 13.05(b) to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder, the respective assignee Lender shall, to the extent legally eligible to do so, provide to Borrower and Administrative Agent the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms and other information as described in Sections 5.06(b) and 5.06(d), as applicable. To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitments, Loans and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section 2.11, Section 13.04(b)(B) or this Section 13.05(b) would, under the laws in effect at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Section 5.01 or 5.03 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although Borrower, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from Changes in Law after the date of the respective assignment).
(c)    Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging or assigning a security interest in its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment of a security interest to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central banking authority. No pledge pursuant to this Section 13.05(c) shall release the transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or permit the pledgee to become a lender hereunder without otherwise complying with Section 13.05(b).
(d)    [reserved].
(e)    [reserved].
(f)    [reserved].
SECTION 13.06.    Survival. The obligations of the Credit Parties under Sections 5.01, 5.05, 5.06, 13.03 and 13.20, the obligations of each Guarantor under Section 6.03, and the obligations of the Lenders and Administrative Agent under Sections 5.06 and 12.08, in each case shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the other Obligations and the termination of the Commitments and, in the case of any Lender that may assign any interest in its Commitments or Loans (and any related Obligations) hereunder, shall (to the extent relating to such time as it was a Lender) survive

-74-




the making of such assignment, notwithstanding that such assigning Lender may cease to be a “Lender” hereunder. In addition, each representation and warranty made, or deemed to be made by a notice of any extension of credit, herein or pursuant hereto shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes and the making of any extension of credit hereunder, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty.

-77-




accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) Borrower and each other Credit Party is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Credit Documents; (ii) (A) the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger and the Lenders is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for Borrower, any other Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) none of the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger or the Lenders has any obligation to Borrower, any other Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents or in other written agreements between the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger or any Lender on one hand and Borrower, any other Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates on the other hand; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from, or conflict with, those of Borrower, the other Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger or the Lenders has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to Borrower, any other Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates. Each Credit Party agrees that nothing in the Credit Documents will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger and the Lenders, on the one hand, and such Credit Party, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of Borrower and each other Credit Party hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arranger or any Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby (other than any agency or fiduciary duty expressly set forth in an any engagement letter referenced in clause (ii)(A)).
SECTION 13.18.    Lender Action. Each Lender agrees that it shall not take or institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy against any Credit Party or any other obligor under any of the Credit Documents (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar claim or other rights of self-help) without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent. The provisions of this Section 13.18 are for the sole benefit of the Agents and Lenders and shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Credit Party.
SECTION 13.19.    Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Credit Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Credit Documents (collectively, the “Charges”) shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the interest and other Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 13.19 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender. Thereafter, interest hereunder shall be paid at the rate(s) of interest and in the manner provided in this Agreement, unless and until the rate of interest again exceeds the Maximum Rate, and at that time this Section 13.19 shall again apply. In no event shall the total interest received by any Lender pursuant to the terms hereof exceed the amount that such Lender could lawfully have received had the interest due hereunder been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Rate. If the Maximum Rate is calculated pursuant to this Section 13.19, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made. If, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 13.19, a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that a Lender has received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Rate, Administrative Agent shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, promptly apply such excess in the order specified in this Agreement and thereafter shall refund any excess to Borrower or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise order.
