Item 1.01                            Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On October 10, 2013, Wolverine World Wide, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Replacement Facility Amendment (the “Amendment”) to its Credit Agreement, dated as of July 31, 2012 (the “Credit Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and as a lender, J.P. Morgan Europe Limited, as foreign currency agent, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as syndication agent and as a lender, Fifth Third Bank, as documentation agent and as a lender, PNC Bank, National Association, as documentation agent and as a lender and the other lenders party thereto.  The Amendment amended the Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) provide for (a) a $775 million term loan A facility (the “Term Facility”), the proceeds of which will refinance the outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement, and (b) a $200 million revolving loan facility (the “Revolving Facility” and, together with the Term Facility, the “Senior Credit Facilities”), (ii) allow for incremental facilities that, taken together with the Senior Credit Facilities, do not exceed $1,350 million in the aggregate, and (iii) reduce the interest rates applicable to the Senior Credit Facilities, as described below.
 
Loans under the Senior Credit Facilities will bear interest at a variable rate equal to either the applicable base rate or LIBOR, plus in each case an interest margin determined by the Company’s net total leverage ratio, with a range of base rate margins from 0.375% to 1.25%, and a range of LIBOR margins from 1.375% to 2.25%.
 
The maturity date of the loans under the Senior Credit Facilities is October 10, 2018.
 
The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Amendment, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
 
Item 5.03                            Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
 
On October 9, 2013, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company adopted Amended and Restated By-Laws (the “By-Laws”).  The By-Laws became effective immediately upon their adoption by the Board.  A description of the changes to the former By-Laws is provided below.
 
·                 Recess, Adjournment and Postponement of Stockholder Meetings:  The revised By-Laws clarify certain procedures related to the recess, adjournment and postponement of stockholder meetings.  (Article II, Sections 4(b), 7 and 11; Article III, Section 1(f))
 
·                 Close of Business Definition:  The revised By-Laws define the term “close of business.”  (Article II, Section 4(f); Article III, Section 1(f)(v))
 
·                 Stockholder Voting Standard:  The revised By-Laws clarify that, other than with respect to the election of directors or as required by applicable law or the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, the vote of a majority of the Company’s stock having voting power present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the subject matter will decide any question brought before a stockholder meeting.  (Article II, Section 8)
 
1

 
·                 Director Vacancies:  The revised By-Laws clarify that Board vacancies may be filled by the sole remaining director when only one director remains on the Board.  (Article III, Section 1(c))
 
·                 Waiver of Notice by Electronic Transmission:  The revised By-Laws provide for the waiver of notice by electronic transmission.  (Article III, Section 4; Article IV, Section 2)
 
·                 Board Quorum:  The revised Bylaws clarify that a majority of the total number of directors then authorized constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of the Board.  (Article III, Section 7)
 
·                 Record Date for Stockholder Action by Written Consent:  The revised By-Laws provide that when stockholders request that the Board fix a record date for a stockholder action by written consent, and the Board does not fix a record date within 10 days following the receipt of such a request, the record date will be the first date after the expiration of the 10-day time period following the date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Company.  (Article III, Section 14)
 
The amendments to the By-Laws also include immaterial language changes and clarifying or conforming changes.  The preceding description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated By-Laws, which are filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this report and are incorporated herein by reference.

(d)                                Notwithstanding anything in Section 4 (a) through (c) above to the contrary, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders is different from the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, a stockholder’s notice required by Section 4 (b) shall set forth a representation that the stockholder will notify the corporation in writing within five (5) business days after the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at

the meeting, or by the opening of business on the date of the meeting (whichever is earlier), of the information required under subparagraphs (ii) and (iii) of Section 4 (c), and such information when provided to the corporation shall be current as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting.
 
(e)                                 Notwithstanding anything in the By-Laws to the contrary: (i) no business shall be conducted at an annual or special meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section (PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing in this Section shall be considered to preclude discussion by any stockholder of any business properly brought before the meeting), and (ii)if a stockholder does not provide the information required under subparagraphs (ii) and (iii) of Section 4 (c) to the corporation within the time frames specified herein, or the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the meeting to present the proposed business, such business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such business may have been received by the corporation. For purposes of this Section, to be considered a qualified representative of the stockholder, a person must be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such stockholder or authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder (or a reliable reproduction or electronic transmission of the writing) delivered to the corporation prior to the making of such nomination or proposal at such meeting by such stockholder stating that such person is authorized to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders.  The Chairman of an annual or special meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of this Section, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.
 
(f)                                  For purposes of this Section, the “close of business” shall mean 6:00 p.m. local time at the principal executive offices of the corporation on any calendar day, whether or not the day is a business day, and “public disclosure” means disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or other comparable national financial news service or in a document publicly filed by the corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15 of the Exchange Act.  For purposes of subparagraph (iii) of Section 4 (c), shares shall be treated as “ beneficially owned”  by a person if the person beneficially owns such shares, directly or indirectly, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Regulations 13D and 13G thereunder or has or shares pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether or not in writing):  (i) the right to acquire such shares (whether
 
5

 
such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time or the fulfillment of a condition or both), (ii) the right to vote such shares, alone or in concert with others and/or (iii) investment power with respect to such shares, including the power to dispose of, or to direct the disposition of, such shares.
 
(g)                                 Notwithstanding the above, if a stockholder desires to require the corporation to include the stockholder’s proposal in the corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, this section shall not apply to such proposal and the stockholder shall comply with all applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including without limitation Rule l4a-8.
 
Section 5.  Written notice of all meetings of stockholders, stating the time and place of the meeting, the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting (if such date is different from the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting), and in the case of special meetings, the purpose or purposes thereof, shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, at least ten (10) days before the date fixed for the meeting.
 
Section 6.  The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than ten (10) days before the date of the meeting, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the 10th day before the meeting date. Such list shall be arranged in alphabetical order, showing the address of and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder.  Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held and which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where said meeting is to be held, and the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present.
 
Section 7.  The holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business, except as otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation.  If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the presiding chairman of the meeting shall have the power to adjourn or recess the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting except as
 
6

 
otherwise required by law, until a quorum shall be present or represented.  At such adjourned or recessed meetings at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.
 
Section 8.  Except as otherwise set forth in Section 2 of Article II hereunder, when a quorum is present at any meeting, the vote of a majority of the stock having voting power present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which by express provision of the statutes or of the Certificate of Incorporation, a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.
 
Section 9.  Except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation or the resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors creating any class of stock, each stockholder shall at every meeting of the stockholders be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of the capital stock having voting power held by such stockholder.
 
Section 10.  Meetings of stockholders generally shall follow accepted rules of parliamentary procedure, subject to the following:
 
(a)                                The chairman of the meeting shall have absolute authority over matters of procedure, and there shall be no appeal from the ruling of the chairman.  If, in his absolute discretion, the chairman deems it advisable to dispense with the rules of parliamentary procedure as to any one meeting of stockholders or part thereof, he shall so state and shall clearly state the rules under which the meeting or appropriate part thereof shall be conducted.
 
(b)                                The chairman of the meeting shall have the authority to adopt and enforce such rules or regulations for the conduct of meetings of stockholders and the safety of those in attendance as he shall deem necessary, appropriate or convenient.  Subject to such rules and regulations of the Board of Directors, if any, the chairman of the meeting shall further have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of the chairman, are necessary, appropriate or convenient for the proper conduct of the meeting, including, without limitation, establishing: (i) an agenda or order of business for the meeting; (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (iii) limitations on participation in the meeting to stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, their duly authorized and constituted proxies and such other persons as the chairman of the meeting shall permit; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the
 
7

 
commencement thereof; (v) limitations on the time allotted for consideration of each agenda item and for questions and comments by participants; (vi) regulation of the opening and closing of the polls for balloting and matters which are to be voted on by ballot; and (vii) procedures (if any) requiring attendees to provide the Corporation advance notice of their intent to attend the meeting.
 
(c)                                 The chairman of the meeting may, for any reason, from time to time, adjourn or recess the meeting, without notice other than announcement at the meeting; and upon his so doing, the meeting is immediately adjourned or recessed.
 
(d)                                A resolution or motion by a stockholder shall be considered for vote only if proposed by a stockholder or a duly authorized proxy and seconded by a stockholder or a duly authorized proxy other than the individual who proposed the resolution or motion.
 
Section 11.  At or prior to any meeting of stockholders, the Board of Directors, or, if the Board of Directors shall have taken no action with respect thereto, the chairman of the meeting, may appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting.  In case any person appointed as inspector fails to appear or act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment made by the person presiding at the meeting.  Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability.
 
Section 12.  The Secretary of the corporation shall furnish the inspectors with a certificate setting forth the number of shares outstanding and entitled to vote, the voting power of each, the number of shares required to make a quorum and the number of shares required to be voted on any issue presented to the meeting if more than a simple majority of the quorum present.  The inspectors shall determine the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the validity and effect of proxies, and shall receive votes, ballots or consents, hear and determine all challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote, count and tabulate all votes, ballots or consents, determine the results and do such acts as are proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all shareholders.  On request of the person presiding at the meeting or any shareholder entitled to vote thereat, the inspectors shall make a report in writing of any challenge, question or matter determined by them.  The inspectors shall execute a certificate of the results of the election or vote found by them.  Any report or certificate made by them shall be prima facie evidence of the facts stated and of the vote as certified by them.  In their determination of the validity and effect of proxies, the inspectors shall make such determination, to the extent possible, so as not to disenfranchise any stockholder.
 
8

 
Section 13.  The inspectors may employ agents or other persons to assist in their duties.  The meetings of the inspectors shall be closed to all persons except as may be requested by the inspectors, provided that the inspectors shall permit a reasonable time after their initial tabulations for the presentation and determination of challenges to the validity and effect of proxies and ballots.  In the case of an election contest, whenever the representative of one or more sides is present during the course of the inspectors’ duties, a representative of all other sides shall be afforded the opportunity to attend.
 
Section 14.  In the tabulation of votes cast by proxies, it shall not be necessary for proxies to execute a ballot on matters, voting instructions (including no vote) for which are contained on the form of proxy itself, and in the absence of a ballot executed on such proxies, the proxy itself will be deemed a written ballot and tabulated in accordance with the directions contained thereon.
 
Section 15.  The person presiding at a meeting of the stockholders may close the polls after the request for submission of proxies and ballots, upon the temporary adjournment of the meeting called to tabulate the proxies and ballots, or within a reasonable time thereafter.  After the polls are closed, no proxy, revocation of proxy or ballot shall be accepted by or considered in the tabulation of proxies and ballots.
 
Section 16.  In the event it becomes necessary to adjourn a meeting of stockholders beyond the day of the scheduled meeting in order to determine the results of any election or vote, said meeting may be adjourned from time to time by the person presiding or entitled to preside, with such meeting to be reconvened at the principal offices of the corporation in Rockford, Michigan.  The only matter to be acted upon at such reconvened meeting shall be the acceptance and filing of the report from the inspectors of election.
 
Article III — Directors
 
Section 1.  Directors of the corporation shall be elected, replaced and removed as follows:
 
(a)                                Number and Qualification of Directors.  The number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be not less than five (5) persons.  Subject to the limit above specified, the number of directors shall be determined from time to time solely by resolution of the Board of Directors, provided that a vacancy in the Board of Directors need not be filled immediately.  Except as otherwise provided in this Section, directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of the stockholders, and each such director elected shall hold office until the annual meeting for the year in which his or her term expires and until his or her successor is elected or until such director’s earlier
 
9

 
resignation or removal.  A director need not be a stockholder, a citizen of the United States or a resident of the State of Delaware.
 
(b)                                Classification.  The Board of Directors shall be divided into three classes, Class I, Class II and Class III.  Each class shall consist, as nearly as may be possible, of one-third of the total number of directors constituting the entire Board of Directors.  At the 1990 annual meeting of stockholders, Class I directors shall be elected for a one-year term, Class II directors for a two-year term and Class III directors for a three-year term.  At each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders, the successors of the class of directors whose term expires at that meeting shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders held in the third year following the year of their election.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever the holders of any one or more classes or series of preferred stock shall have the right, voting separately as a class, to elect directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, the election, term of office, filling of vacancies and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation applicable thereto, and such directors shall not be divided into classes pursuant to this Section 1 (b) of ARTICLE III, and the number of such directors shall not be counted in determining the maximum number of directors permitted under Section 1 (a) of ARTICLE III hereof, in each case unless expressly provided by the Certificate of Incorporation.
 
(c)                                 Vacancies and Newly Created Directorships.  Subject to the right of the holders of any series of preferred stock then outstanding, any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors caused by resignation, removal, death, disqualification or other incapacity, and any newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors, shall be filled exclusively by a majority vote of the directors then in office, whether or not a quorum, or by the sole remaining director, and shall not be filled by the stockholders.  When the number of directors is changed, any newly created directorship shall be so apportioned among the classes of directors as to make all classes as nearly equal in number as possible.  Each director chosen to fill a vacancy or a newly created directorship shall hold office for the term coinciding with the class of his or her directorship and until his successor shall be elected and qualify.  No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.
 
10

NOWTHEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:
 
SECTION 1.                           Definitions.  Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Credit Agreement and used herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement.
 
SECTION 2.                           New Term Loans and New Revolving Commitments.
 
(a)        Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (i) each Continuing Term Lender agrees to continue all (or such lesser amount as notified to such Lender by the Lead Arranger prior to the Effective Date) of its Existing Term Loans as a New Term Loan on the date requested by the Borrower to be the Effective Date in a principal amount equal to such Continuing Term Lender’s New Term Loan Commitment (as defined below), (ii) each Additional Term Lender agrees to make a New Term Loan on such date to the Borrower in a principal amount equal to such Additional Term Lender’s New Term Loan Commitment and (iii) following the replacement and refinancing of the Existing Term Loans, the New Term Lenders agree to increase the amount of Term Loans under the Amended Credit Agreement to $775,000,000.
 
(b)        Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (i) each Continuing Revolving Lender agrees to continue all (or such lesser amount as notified to such Lender by the Lead Arranger prior to the Effective Date) of its Existing Revolving Commitments as New Revolving Commitments on the date requested by the Borrower to be the Effective Date in a principal amount equal to such Continuing Revolving Lender’s New Revolving Commitment (as defined below), and (ii) each Additional Revolving Lender agrees to provide New Revolving Commitments on and after such date to the Borrower in a principal amount equal to such Additional Revolving Lender’s New Revolving Commitment.
 
(c)         For purposes hereof, a Person shall become a party to the Amended Credit Agreement and a New Term Lender and/or a New Revolving Lender, as the case may be, as of the Effective Date by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent, on or prior to the Effective Date, a Lender Addendum in its capacity as a New Term Lender and/or a New Revolving Lender, as the case may be.  The Borrower shall give notice to the Administrative Agent of the proposed Effective Date not later than one Business Day prior thereto, and the Administrative Agent shall notify each New Lender thereof.  For the avoidance of doubt, (x) the Existing Term Loans of a Continuing Term Lender must be continued in whole and may not be continued in part unless approved by the Lead Arranger and (y) the Existing Revolving Commitments of a Continuing Revolving Lender must be continued in whole and may not be continued in part unless approved by the Lead Arranger.
 
(d)        Each Additional Term Lender will make its New Term Loan on the Effective Date by making available to the Administrative Agent, in the manner contemplated by Section 2.2 of the Amended Credit Agreement, an amount equal to its New Term Loan Commitment.  The “ New Term Loan Commitment ” of (i) any Continuing Term Lender will be the amount of its Existing Term Loans as set forth in the Register as of the Effective Date (or such lesser amount as notified to such Lender by the Lead Arranger prior to the Effective Date), which shall be continued as an equal principal amount of New Term Loans, and (ii) any Additional Term Lender will be such amount (not exceeding any commitment offered by such Additional Term Lender) allocated to it by the Lead Arranger and notified to it on or prior
 
3

 
to the Effective Date.  The commitments of the Additional Term Lenders and the continuation undertakings of the Continuing Term Lenders are several, and no such Lender will be responsible for any other such Lender’s failure to make or acquire by continuation its New Term Loan.
 
(e)         The New Revolving Commitments of each Continuing Revolving Lender and each Additional Revolving Lender will be available to the Borrower on the Effective Date. The “New Revolving Commitment” of (i) any Continuing Revolving Lender will be the amount of its Existing Revolving Commitment as set forth in the Register as of the Effective Date (or such lesser amount as notified to such Lender by the Lead Arranger prior to the Effective Date), which shall be continued as an equal amount of New Revolving Commitments and (ii) of any Additional Revolving Lender will be such amount (not exceeding any commitment offered by such Additional Revolving Lender) allocated to it by the Lead Arranger and notified to it on or prior to the Effective Date.  The Commitments of the Continuing Revolving Lenders and Additional Revolving Lenders are several, and (subject to Section 2.24 of the Amended Credit Agreement) no such Lender will be responsible for any other such Lender’s failure to make or acquire its New Revolving Loans.
 
(f)          The obligation of each New Lender to make, provide or acquire by continuation New Term Loans or New Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, on the Effective Date is subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3 of this Amendment.
 
(g)         On and after the Effective Date, each reference in the Amended Credit Agreement to (i) “Term Loans” shall be deemed a reference to the New Term Loans contemplated hereby, (ii) “Revolving Commitments” shall be deemed a reference to the New Revolving Commitments contemplated hereby and (iii) “Revolving Loans” shall be deemed a reference to Revolving Loans, except in each case as the context may otherwise require.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of the Credit Agreement with respect to indemnification, reimbursement of costs and expenses, increased costs and break funding payments shall continue in full force and effect with respect to, and for the benefit of, each Existing Term Lender in respect of such Lender’s Existing Term Loans and each Existing Revolving Lender in respect of such Lender’s Existing Revolving Commitments and Existing Revolving Loans.
 
(h)        On the Effective Date, all Existing Revolving Loans shall be deemed repaid and reborrowed as New Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.5(c) of the Amended Credit Agreement.
 
(i)            The continuation of Continued Term Loans may be implemented pursuant to other procedures specified by the Lead Arranger, including by repayment of Continued Term Loans of a Continuing Term Lender followed by a subsequent assignment to it of New Term Loans in the same amount.
 
(j)           For the avoidance of doubt, the Lenders hereby acknowledge and agree that, at the sole option of the Lead Arranger, any Lender with Existing Term Loans that are not continued as Continued Term Loans as contemplated hereby (“ Non-Continued Term Loans ”) shall, automatically upon receipt of the amount necessary to purchase such Lender’s Non-Continued Term Loans, at par, and pay all accrued interest thereon, be deemed to have assigned such Non-Continued Term Loans pursuant to a form of Assignment and Assumption and, accordingly, no other action by the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Loan Parties shall be required in connection therewith.
 
SECTION 3.                           Effective Date.  This Amendment (subject to Section 4), and the obligation of each New Term Lender to make or acquire by continuation New Term Loans and the obligation of each New Revolving Lender to provide New Revolving Commitments and make New

Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle the Borrower to a consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in similar or different circumstances. Nothing in this Amendment shall be deemed to be a novation of any obligations under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(ii)  any Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale by a Foreign Subsidiary, Net Cash Proceeds from any Recovery Event with respect to a Foreign Subsidiary or any portion of the Adjusted ECF Amount attributed to a Foreign Subsidiary, in each case, to the extent that the Borrower has determined in its reasonable judgment that the distribution of any of or all such items to the Borrower or any Domestic Subsidiary or any holder of Capital Stock of such Foreign
 
58

 
Subsidiary would have any adverse tax consequence.  Any amount that is excluded from the calculation of Net Cash Proceeds or the Adjusted ECF Amount in accordance with this paragraph 2.12(e)(ii) will not be required to be applied to repay Loans at the times provided in Section 2.12(b) or 2.12(c) and may be deducted from any amounts otherwise due under Section 2.12(b) or 2.12(c).  Once the Borrower determines in its reasonable judgment that a distribution of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Adjusted ECF Amount , as applicable, would cease to result in adverse tax consequences, the Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans (not later than five (5) Business Days after such determination) by an amount equal to such portion of such affected amount , except, for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that a Reinvestment Notice has been or shall be validly delivered pursuant to Section 2.12(b) in respect of such Net Cash Proceeds or to the extent Section 2.12(e)(i) precludes such prepayment.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.12, in no event shall the Borrower be required to repatriate cash of Non-Domestic Subsidiaries.
 
(f)                                  If, on any Calculation Date, (i) the aggregate Dollar Equivalents of the aggregate outstanding principal amounts of Foreign Currency Loans exceeds an amount equal to 105% of the Foreign Currency Sublimit, the Borrower shall, without notice or demand, immediately repay such of the outstanding Foreign Currency Loans in an aggregate principal amount such that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate Dollar Equivalents of the outstanding principal amounts of Foreign Currency Loans does not exceed the Foreign Currency Sublimit or (ii) the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit (including the Dollar Equivalents of any Revolving Extensions of Credit outstanding in a currency other than Dollars) exceed the Total Revolving Commitments, and the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit (including the Dollar Equivalents of any Revolving Extensions of Credit outstanding in a currency other than Dollars) exceed the Total Revolving Commitments for four consecutive Business Days thereafter, then on such fourth Business Day thereafter, the Borrower shall, without notice or demand, immediately repay such of the outstanding Revolving Extensions of Credit in an aggregate principal amount such that, after giving effect thereto, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit (including the Dollar Equivalents of any Revolving Extensions of Credit outstanding in a currency other than Dollars) do not exceed the Total Revolving Commitments.
 
2.13                       Conversion and Continuation Options.  (a)  The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurocurrency Loans that are denominated in Dollars to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date, provided  that any such conversion of Eurocurrency Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto.  The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor),  provided  that no ABR Loan under a particular Facility may be converted into a Eurocurrency Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions.  Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.
 
59

 
(b)           Any Eurocurrency Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans,  provided  that no Eurocurrency Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations or (ii) if an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 8(f) with respect to the Borrower is in existence,  provided ,  further , that (i) with respect to Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars, if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso any such Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period and (ii) with respect to Eurocurrency Loans denominated in a currency other than Dollars, (x) if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph, such Loans shall be continued as Eurocurrency Loans with a three-month Interest Period and (y) if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso any such Loans shall be due and payable on the last day of the then-current Interest Period; and  provided further  that any such Eurocurrency Loan is continued in the same currency.  Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.
 
2.14                       Limitations on Eurocurrency Tranches and Foreign Currency Loans.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars comprising each Eurocurrency Tranche shall be equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than ten Eurocurrency Tranches denominated in Dollars shall be outstanding at any one time.  There shall be no more than six Foreign Currency Loans denominated in Foreign Currencies outstanding at any time.
 
2.15                       Interest Rates and Payment Dates.  (a)  Each Eurocurrency Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin;  provided  that each Fronted Foreign Currency Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate determined for such day.
 
(b)                                Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.
 
(c)                                 (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such
 
60

 
overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section  plus  2% or (y) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the rate applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility  plus  2% and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility  plus  2% (or, in the case of any such other amounts that do not relate to a particular Facility, the rate then applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility  plus  2%), in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).
 
(d)                                Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand.
 
2.16                       Computation of Interest and Fees.  (a)  Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to (i) ABR Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed and (ii) Loans denominated in Pounds Sterling, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year for the actual days elapsed.  The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurocurrency Rate.  Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective.  The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.
 
(b)                                Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error.  The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.15(a).
 
2.17                       Inability to Determine Interest Rate.  If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:
 
(i) the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period, or
 
(ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that the Eurocurrency Rate determined or to be
 
61

 
determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,
 
the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter.  If such notice is given (A) in respect of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars, (x) any Eurocurrency Loans under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurocurrency Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurocurrency Loans under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Loans and (B) in respect of Foreign Currency Loans, (x) any Foreign Currency Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall not be made and (y) any outstanding Foreign Currency Loans shall be due and payable on the last day of the then-current Interest Period.  Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurocurrency Loans under the relevant Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans under the relevant Facility to Eurocurrency Loans.
 
2.18                       Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.  (a)  Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder (other than with respect to Foreign Currency Loans), each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made  pro rata  according to the respective Tranche A Term Percentages or Revolving Percentages, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders.  Each payment by the Borrower of the Foreign Currency Participation Fee with respect to any Foreign Currency Loan made in a particular Foreign Currency shall be made  pro rata among the Revolving Lenders that are Foreign Currency Loan Participants in respect of Foreign Currency Loans made in such Foreign Currency in accordance with their respective Foreign Currency Participating Interests.
 
(b)                                Each payment (including each prepayment pursuant to Section 2.12 but excluding any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Term Loans shall be made  pro rata  according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by the Term Lenders.  The amount of each principal prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.12 shall be applied, within each Term Facility, (i) first to scheduled installments of the Tranche A Term Loans occurring within the next 12 months in direct order of maturity and (ii) thereafter, to reduce the then remaining installments of the Tranche A Term Loans  pro rata  based upon the respective then remaining principal amounts thereof.  Each prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11 by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Tranche A Term Loans shall be made  pro rata  according to the respective principal amounts of the Tranche A Term Loans then held by the Tranche A Term Lenders.  Amounts prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.
 
(c)                                 Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans (other than Foreign Currency Loans) shall be made  pro rata  according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving Lenders.
 
62

 
(d)                                Each borrowing by the Borrower of Foreign Currency Loans in any particular Foreign Currency shall be made among the Foreign Currency Lenders with respect to such Foreign Currency, with the Foreign Currency Loan of each such Foreign Currency Lender (other than the Fronting Lender) to be in an amount equal to its Revolving Percentage of the applicable borrowing and the Foreign Currency Loan of the Fronting Lender to be in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of such borrowing less the amount of the Foreign Currency Loans being made by other Foreign Currency Lenders and comprising part of such borrowing. Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on any Foreign Currency Loan shall be made  pro rata  according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such Foreign Currency Loan then held by the applicable Foreign Currency Lenders.
 
(e)                                 All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise (other than in respect of the principal or interest on, or the fronting fee with respect to the Foreign Currency Loans), shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Funding Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds.  Other than as set forth in Section 2.10(d), all payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder on account of principal or interest on, or the fronting fee with respect to the Foreign Currency Loans shall be made in the relevant Foreign Currency, without setoff and counterclaim and shall be made on the due date thereof to the Foreign Currency Agent, for the account of the applicable Foreign Currency Lenders (or, with respect to the fronting fee, the Fronting Lender), at the office, and prior to the time for payment for the relevant currency, set forth on the Administrative Schedule.  The Administrative Agent or the Foreign Currency Agent, as applicable, shall distribute such payments to each relevant Lender or Fronting Lender, as the case may be, promptly upon receipt in like funds as received, net of any amounts owing by such Lender pursuant to Section 9.7.  If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurocurrency Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day.  If any payment on a Eurocurrency Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.  In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.
 
(f)                                  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the
 
63

 
Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.  If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon, at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent.  A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the Borrower.
 
(g)                                 Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective  pro rata  shares of a corresponding amount.  If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.
 
(h)                                If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.7(b), 2.7(c), 2.11, 2.18(e), 2.18(f), 2.20(e), 3.4(a) or 9.7, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, any Fronting Lender or the Issuing Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to it under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.
 
64

 
2.19                       Requirements of Law.  (a)    If any Governmental Authority shall have in effect at any time during the term of this Agreement any reserve requirements (including basic, supplemental, marginal and emergency reserves) under any regulations dealing with reserve requirements prescribed for eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as “Eurocurrency Liabilities” in Regulation D of the Board) maintained by a member bank of the Federal Reserve System, and the result of such requirement shall be to increase the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loans and such Lender shall have requested, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which notice shall specify the Statutory Reserve Rate applicable to such Lender), compensation under this paragraph, then the Borrower will pay to such Lender (until the earlier of the date such requirement is no longer in effect or the date such Lender shall withdraw such request) amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such additional costs of making or maintaining such Eurocurrency Loans.
 
(b)                                If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by any central bank or other Governmental Authority or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Restatement Effective Date:
 
(i)           shall subject any Credit Party to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
 
(ii)       shall, without duplication of reserves or other deposits contemplated by Section 2.19(a), 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 (or participations therein) by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurocurrency Rate; or
 
(iii)   shall impose on such Lender any other condition (other than Taxes);
 
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Credit Party, by an amount that such Lender or other Credit Party reasonably deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender or such other Credit Party, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such other Credit Party for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable.  If any Lender or such other Credit Party becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.
 
(c)                                 If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital or liquidity
 
65

 
requirements (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Restatement Effective Date shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction.
 
(d)                                Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and (ii) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented.
 
(e)                                 If by reason of any change in a Requirement of Law subsequent to the Restatement Effective Date, disruption of currency or foreign exchange markets, war or civil disturbance or similar event, the funding of any Foreign Currency Loan in any relevant Foreign Currency or the funding of any Foreign Currency Loan in any relevant Foreign Currency to an office located other than in New York shall be impossible or, in the reasonable judgment of any Fronting Lender, such Foreign Currency is no longer available or readily convertible to Dollars, or the Dollar Equivalent of such Foreign Currency is no longer readily calculable, then, at the election of any Fronting Lender, no Foreign Currency Loans in the relevant currency shall be made or any Foreign Currency Loan in the relevant currency shall be made to an office of the Administrative Agent located in New York, as the case may be.
 
(f)                                  (i) If payment in respect of any Foreign Currency Loan shall be due in a currency other than Dollars and/or at a place of payment other than New York and if, by reason of any change in a Requirement of Law subsequent to the Restatement Effective Date, disruption of currency or foreign exchange markets, war or civil disturbance or similar event, payment of such Obligations in such currency or such place of payment shall be impossible or, in the reasonable judgment of any Fronting Lender, such Foreign Currency is no longer available or readily convertible to Dollars, or the Dollar Equivalent of such Foreign Currency is no longer readily calculable,
 
66

 
then, at the election of any affected Lender, the Borrower shall make payment of such Loan in Dollars (based upon the Exchange Rate in effect for the day on which such payment occurs, as determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof) and/or in New York or (ii) if any Foreign Currency in which Loans are outstanding is redenominated then, at the election of any affected Lender, such affected Loan and all obligations of the Borrower in respect thereof shall be converted into obligations in Dollars (based upon the Exchange Rate in effect on such date, as determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof), and, in each case, the Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders, against any currency exchange losses or reasonable out-of-pocket expenses that it shall sustain as a result of such alternative payment.
 
(g)                                 A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.19(a), (b) or (c) submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any amounts incurred more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor;  provided  that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such nine-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.  The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
 
2.20                       Taxes.  (a)   Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that, after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings for Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.20), the amounts received with respect to this agreement equal the sum which would have been received had no such deduction or withholding been made, unless such withholding or deduction is solely attributable to the willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent as found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction.
 
(b)                                The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.
 
(c)                                 As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority
 
67

 
pursuant to this Section 2.20, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Loan Party, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or the Loan Party, as the case may be.
 
(d)                                The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Credit Party, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Credit Party or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Credit Party and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
 
(e)                                 Each Lender shall severally indemnify, within 10 days after demand therefor (i) the Administrative Agent for any Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so) and (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, as applicable, for any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.6(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in either case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent or the Borrower to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent or the Borrower under this paragraph (e).
 
(f)                                  (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any
 
68

 
Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to 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 2.20(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(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.
 
(ii)       Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person,
 
(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;
 
(B) any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

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

70

 
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 the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
 
(g)                                 If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund or credit of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.20 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund or credit (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, including additional amounts paid, under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund or credit), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund or credit).  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 or credit 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 indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund or credit 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.
 
(h)                                Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.20 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under the Loan Documents.
 
(i)                                    For purposes of this Section 2.20, the term “Lender” includes the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender.
 
2.21                       Indemnity.  The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into, conversion from or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurocurrency Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto.  Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or
 
71

 
of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any)  over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurocurrency market.  A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
 
2.22                       Change of Lending Office.  Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.19 or 2.20(a) with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event or assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates with the object of avoiding or minimizing the consequences of such event;  provided , that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending offices to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and  provided ,  further , that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20(a).
 
2.23                       Replacement of Lenders.  The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender if (a) the Lender requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20(a) or if the Loan Parties are required to pay Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts with respect thereto to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.20(a), (b) the Lender is then a Defaulting Lender, or (c) the Lender (the “ Non-Consenting Lender ”) does not consent to any proposed amendment, supplement, modification, consent or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (a “ Proposed Change ”) that requires the consent of each of the Lenders or each of the Lenders affected thereby (so long as the consent of the Required Lenders has been obtained), with a replacement financial institution;  provided  that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.22 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20(a), (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.21 if any Eurocurrency Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) to the extent the Administrative Agent would have consent rights over an assignment of the applicable Loans or Commitments to the replacement financial institution pursuant to Section 10.6, the replacement financial institution shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vii) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 ( provided  that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration
 
72

 
and processing fee referred to therein), (viii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.19 or 2.20(a), as the case may be and (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.  Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto.
 
2.24                       Defaulting Lenders.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(i)                                    all or any part of the Swingline Exposure, L/C Exposure and Foreign Currency Participating Interest of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Extensions of Credit plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure, L/C Exposure and Foreign Currency Participating Interest does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments;
 
(ii)                                 if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure, (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the Issuing Lender only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant
 
73

 
to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 8 for so long as such L/C Exposure is outstanding and (z)  third , cash collateralize for the benefit of the Fronting Lender, only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Foreign Currency Participating Interest (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) for so long as the circumstances giving rise to such obligation to provide such cash collateral remain relevant (which cash collateralization requirement shall be satisfied by the Borrower depositing such cash collateral into an account opened by the Administrative Agent);
 
(iii)                              if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.3(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is cash collateralized;
 
(iv)                             if the L/C Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.8(a) and Section 3.3(a) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Percentages;
 
(v)                                if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Lender or any other Lender hereunder, all fees payable under Section 3.3(a) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Lender until and to the extent that such L/C Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized;
 
(vi)                             if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Foreign Currency Participating Interest pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.8(d) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Foreign Currency Participating Interest during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Foreign Currency Participating Interest is cash collateralized;
 
(vii)                          if the Foreign Currency Participating Interests of the non-Defaulting Lenders are reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.8(d) shall be readjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Percentages; and
 
74

 
(viii)                       if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Foreign Currency Participating Interest is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Fronting Lender or any other Lender hereunder, the fee payable under Section 2.8(d) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Foreign Currency Participating Interest that has not been reallocated or cash collateralized shall be payable to the Fronting Lender until and to the extent that such Foreign Currency Participating Interest is reallocated and/or cash collateralized;
 
(d)                                so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding L/C Exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.24(c), and participating interests in any newly made Swingline Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.24(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein); and
 
(e)                                 so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Fronting Lender shall not be required to fund any Fronted Foreign Currency Loan unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s Foreign Currency Participating Interest will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.24(c)

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Swingline Lender, the Fronting Lender and the Issuing Lender each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure, L/C Participating Interests and L/C Exposure of the Lenders
 
75

 
shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans and (other than in the case of any such Defaulting Lender that is a Foreign Currency Lender) Foreign Currency Loans) and the Foreign Currency Participating Interests of the other Revolving Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Revolving Percentage or Foreign Currency Participating Interests, as the case may be, in accordance with its ratable share thereof.

(vii) [reserved];
 
(viii) with respect to any Incremental Term Facility having terms customary for a tranche A term loan facility incurred on or before the date that is the eighteen-month anniversary of the Restatement Effective Date, if the total yield (calculated for both the Incremental Term Loans and the Term Loans, including the upfront fees, any interest rate floors and any OID (as defined below but excluding any arrangement, underwriting, structuring or similar fee paid by the Borrower and not paid to Lenders generally)) in respect of any such Incremental Term Loans exceeds the total yield for the existing Tranche A Term Loans by more than 0.50% (it being understood that any such increase may take the form of original issue discount (“ OID ”), with OID being equated to the interest rates in a manner determined by the Administrative Agent based on an assumed four-year life to maturity), the Applicable Margin for the Tranche A Term Loans shall be increased so that the total yield in respect of such Incremental Term Loans is no more than 0.50% higher than the total yield for the existing Tranche A Term Loans ( provided  that any increase in yield to any existing Term Loans required due to the application of a Eurocurrency Rate floor or an ABR floor on any Incremental Term Facility shall be effected solely through an increase in (or implementation of, as applicable) a Eurocurrency Rate floor or ABR floor to the applicable existing Term Loans);

80

 
required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.4(a) is not made available to the Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the Revolving Facility.  A certificate of the Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
 
(c)                                 Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its  pro rata  share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.4(a), the Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by the Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Issuing Lender will distribute to such L/C Participant its  pro rata  share thereof (it being understood that any such distribution shall be in Dollars and the Issuing Lender shall convert any amounts received by it in a currency other than Dollars into the Dollar Equivalent thereof for purposes of such distribution);  provided ,  however , that in the event that any such payment received by the Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by the Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it.

3.6                              Obligations Absolute.  The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 3 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against the Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person.  The Borrower also agrees with the Issuing Lender that the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee.  The Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender.  The Borrower agrees that any action taken
 
81

 
or omitted by the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower.
 
3.7                              Letter of Credit Payments.  If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of the date and amount thereof.  The responsibility of the Issuing Lender to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit.
 
3.8                              Applications.  To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply.
 
3.9                              Cash Collateralization.  If on any date the L/C Obligations (including the Dollar Equivalent of any L/C Obligations outstanding in a currency other than Dollars) exceeds the L/C Commitment, then the Borrower shall within three Business Days after notice thereof from the Administrative Agent deposit in a cash collateral account opened by the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such excess plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
 
3.10                       Currency Adjustments.  (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, for purposes of calculating any fee in respect of any Letter of Credit in respect of any Business Day, the Administrative Agent shall convert the amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars into an amount of Dollars based upon the Exchange Rate.
 
(b)                                Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3, prior to demanding any reimbursement from the L/C Participants pursuant to subsection 3.4 in respect of any Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars, the Issuing Lender shall convert the Borrower’s obligation under subsection 3.4 to reimburse the Issuing Lender in such currency into an obligation to reimburse the Issuing Lender in Dollars.  The Dollar amount of the reimbursement obligation of the Borrower and the L/C Participants shall be computed by the Issuing Lender based upon the Exchange Rate in effect for the day on which such conversion occurs, as determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof.

SECTION 9.                        THE AGENTS
 
9.1                              Appointment.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints each of the Administrative Agent and the Foreign Currency Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes each of the Administrative Agent and the Foreign Currency Agent, in their respective capacities, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent or the Foreign Currency Agent, as applicable, by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.   Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, neither the Administrative Agent nor the Foreign Currency Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.
 
9.2                              Delegation of Duties.  Each of the Administrative Agent and the Foreign Currency Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Foreign Currency Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.
 
9.3                              Exculpatory Provisions.  Neither any Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or
 
122

 
other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.  The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.
 
9.4                              Reliance by Administrative Agent and the Foreign Currency Agent.  Each of the Administrative Agent and the Foreign Currency Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy or email message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent.  Each of the Administrative Agent and the Foreign Currency Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent.  Each of the Administrative Agent and the Foreign Currency Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  Each of the Administrative Agent and the Foreign Currency Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.
 
9.5                              Notice of Default.  The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”.  In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders);  provided  that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.
 
9.6                              Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders.  Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender.  Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in
 
123

 
taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates.  Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.
 
9.7                              Indemnification.  The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent and its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, advisors and controlling persons (each, an “ Agent Indemnitee ”)  (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent Indemnitee under or in connection with any of the foregoing;  provided  that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
 
9.8                              Agent in Its Individual Capacity.  Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent.  With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.
 
9.9                              Successor Administrative Agent and Foreign Currency Agent.  (a) The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower.  If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or Section 8(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans.  If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon
 
124

 
become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.  After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 and of Section 10.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit.
 
(b)                                The Foreign Currency Agent may resign as Foreign Currency Agent upon 10 days’ notice to the Lenders, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.  If the Foreign Currency Agent shall resign as Foreign Currency Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or Section 8(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Foreign Currency Agent, and the term “Foreign Currency Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Foreign Currency Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Foreign Currency Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Foreign Currency Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans.  If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Foreign Currency Agent by the date that is 10 days following a retiring Foreign Currency Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Foreign Currency Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Foreign Currency Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.  After any retiring Foreign Currency Agent’s resignation as Foreign Currency Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 and of Section 10.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit.
 
9.10                       Arrangers and Syndication Agent.  Neither the Arrangers nor the Syndication Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in their respective capacities as such.

(b)(i)                     Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (each, an “ Assignee ”), other than a natural person, the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower, all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of:
 
(A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default under Section 8(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing, any other Person; and  provided ,  further , that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless the Borrower shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof;
 
(B) the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and
 
(C) the Issuing Lender; provided that no consent of the Issuing Lender shall be required (i) for an assignment of all or any portion of a Term Loan or (ii) if the Issuing Lender’s exposure in respect of Letters of Credit issued by it is less than $1,000,000.
 
(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
 
(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans under any Facility, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 (or, in the case of the Tranche A Term Facility and any Incremental Term Facility, $1,000,000) unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent,  provided  that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of
 
130

 
Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;
 
(B) (1) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 and (2) the assigning Lender shall have paid in full any amounts owing by it to the Administrative Agent; and
 
(C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in which the Assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws.
 
For the purposes of this Section 10.6, “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any Lender may assign all or a portion of its Term Loans (or Incremental Term Loans) to the Borrower at a price below the par value thereof; provided  that any such assignment shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (1) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing immediately before and after giving effect to such assignment, (2) on the date of effectiveness of such purchase and assignment, there shall be no more than $50,000,000 in aggregate amount of Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans outstanding, (3) no proceeds of Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit shall be used to fund such purchase and assignment, (4) any such offer to purchase shall be offered to all Term Lenders of a particular tranche on a pro rata  basis, with mechanics to be agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, (5) any Loans so purchased shall be immediately cancelled and retired and (6) the Borrower shall provide, as of the date of its offer to purchase and as of the date of the effectiveness of such purchase and assignment, a customary representation and warranty that it is not in possession of any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their respective securities that (i) has not been disclosed to the assigning Lender prior to such date and (ii) could reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material to, a Lender’s decision to assign Loans to the Borrower (in each case, other than because such assigning Lender does not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their respective securities).
 
(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19, 2.20, 2.21 and 10.5).  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.
 
131

 
(iv)  The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “ Register ”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
 
(v)  Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register.  No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
 
(c)                                 Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “ Participant ”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it);  provided  that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement;  provided  that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (i) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 10.1 and (ii) directly affects such Participant.  Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.23 with respect to any Participant.  The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19, 2.20 and 2.21 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.20(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.20(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section;  provided  that such Participant (i) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.19 and 2.20 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section and (ii) shall not be entitled to receive any greater
 
132

 
payment under Sections 2.19 or 2.20, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from an adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the Restatement Effective Date that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.7(b) as though it were a Lender,  provided  such Participant shall be subject to Section 10.7(a) as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “ Participant Register ”); provided  that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the Borrower (upon request) or otherwise to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
 
(d)                                Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest;  provided  that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.  The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in this paragraph (d).
 
10.7                       Adjustments; Set-off.  (a)   Except to the extent that this Agreement or a court order expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a “ Benefitted Lender ”) shall receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it (other than in connection with an assignment made pursuant to Section 10.6), or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations
 
133

 
owing to such other Lender, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders;  provided ,  however , that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest; provided further, that to the extent prohibited by applicable law as described in the definition of “Excluded Swap Obligation,” no amounts received from, or set off with respect to, any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor.
 
(b)                                In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, upon any Obligations becoming due and payable by the Borrower (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to apply to the payment of such Obligations, by setoff or otherwise, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender, any affiliate thereof or any of their respective branches or agencies to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower;   provided  that if any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (i) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender and the Lenders and (ii) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of set-off.  Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such application made by such Lender,  provided  that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such application.
 
10.8                       Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.  Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by email or facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.  A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
 
10.9                       Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such
 
134

 
prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
 
10.10                Integration.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

EXHIBIT B
 
Note: Following amendments to form the basis of the amendment to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement:
 
(a)                                amending Section 1.1 thereof by inserting the following at the end of the definition of “Borrower Obligations”:
 
“; provided, that for purposes of determining any Guarantor Obligations of any Guarantor under this Agreement, the definition of “Borrower Obligations” shall not create any guarantee by any Guarantor of any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor”
 
(b)                                amending Section 1.1 thereof by inserting the following new defined term in appropriate alphabetical order:
 
““Qualified Keepwell Provider”: in respect of any Swap Obligation, each Loan Party that, at the time the relevant guarantee (or grant of the relevant security interest, as applicable), becomes effective with respect to such Swap Obligation, has total assets exceeding $10,000,000 or otherwise constitutes an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act or any regulations promulgated thereunder and can cause another person to qualify as an “eligible contract participant” with respect to such Swap Obligation at such time by entering into a keepwell pursuant to section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.”
 
(c)                                 amending Section 2.1(a) by inserting the following at the end thereof: “(other than, with respect to any Guarantor, any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor)”
 
(d)                                amending Article 2 thereof by inserting the following new Section 2.8:
 
“2.8. Keepwell. Each Qualified Keepwell Provider hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally, and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this guarantee in respect of any Swap Obligation (provided, however, that each Qualified Keepwell Provider shall only be liable under this Section 2.8 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 2.8, or otherwise under this guarantee, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified Keepwell Provider under this Section 2.8 shall remain in full force and effect until the Borrower Obligations and the Obligations of each Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall have been satisfied by payment in full, no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding and the Commitments shall be terminated. Each Qualified Keepwell Provider intends that this Section 2.8 constitute, and this Section 2.8 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.”

 
(e) amending Section 6.5 thereof by inserting the following after the final paragraph thereof:
 
“Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amounts received from any Guarantor shall be applied to Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor.”
 
(f) amending Section 8.6 thereof by inserting the following at the end of the first sentence thereof:
 
“; provided further, that to the extent prohibited by applicable law as described in the definition of “Excluded Swap Obligation,” no amounts set off with respect to any Guarantor shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Guarantor”
