Each day upon or as of which the Administrative Agent determines Dollar Amounts as described in the preceding clauses (a), (b), (c), and (d) is herein described as a “Computation Date” with respect to each Advance or Facility LC for which a Dollar Amount is determined on or as of such day.  If at any time the Dollar Amount of the sum of (y) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Advances (calculated, with respect to those Advances denominated in Agreed Currencies other than Dollars, as of the most recent Computation Date with respect to each such Advance) plus (z) the aggregate amount of all outstanding LC Obligations other than Bank Guaranties (calculated, with respect to those Facility LCs denominated in Agreed Currencies other than Dollars, as of the most recent Computation Date with respect to each such Facility LC) exceeds the Aggregate Commitment (the amount of such excess, the “Excess Obligations”), the Borrowers shall immediately repay Advances in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to eliminate any such Excess Obligations.  If no Advances are then outstanding or if any Excess Obligations remain outstanding upon repayment of all outstanding Advances, and provided that the Excess Obligations exceed $500, the applicable Borrower shall immediately make deposits to (and, subject to the immediately succeeding sentences, shall maintain such amount in) the applicable Facility LC Collateral Account at the Administrative Agent’s election either (i) in the applicable Agreed Currency or Currencies as determined by the Administrative Agent and in an amount equal to the amount of such Excess Obligations or (ii) in Dollars in an amount equal to 100% of the Dollar Amount (calculated as of the applicable Computation Date) of such Excess Obligations.  If as of any Computation Date the amount of any such cash collateral held by the Administrative Agent on such date exceeds the amount required to be deposited by the Borrowers pursuant to preceding sentence by greater than $500, the Administrative Agent shall promptly release cash collateral to the Borrowers in the amount of such excess to the extent such cash collateral is not otherwise required under the terms of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Borrowing Subsidiary shall make any deposits to the Facility LC Collateral Account applicable to Facility LCs issued directly for the benefit of the Parent.

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or applicable Lending Installation or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, of making or maintaining its Eurocurrency Loans (including, without limitation, any conversion of any Loan denominated in an Agreed Currency other than Euro into a Loan denominated in Euro) or Commitment or of issuing or participating in Facility LCs or to reduce the return received by such Lender or applicable Lending Installation or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, in connection with such Eurocurrency Loans, Commitment, Facility LCs or participations therein, then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, the Parent shall, or shall cause the applicable Borrower to, pay such Lender or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, for the actual increased cost or reduction in amount received.

ARTICLE IV

CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

---

With respect to any Borrower that is not a Material Subsidiary, the Lenders shall not (except as otherwise set out in Section 2.5.1 and Section 2.5.3 with respect to Revolving Loans for the purpose of repaying Swing Line Loans) be required to make any Credit Extension with respect to such Borrower if, on the applicable Credit Extension Date, a Default or Unmatured Default would exist if such Borrower were a Material Subsidiary; provided that any such circumstance that would not otherwise constitute a Default or Unmatured Default under this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a Default or Unmatured Default or affect the Lenders’ Commitment to make Credit Extensions to the other Borrowers under this Agreement solely as a result of this paragraph.

Each Borrowing Notice, Swing Line Borrowing Notice or request for issuance of a Facility LC, as the case may be, with respect to each such Credit Extension (other than to the extent constituting a conversion or continuation) shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrowers that the conditions contained in the preceding paragraph and Sections 4.2(a) and (b) have been satisfied.  As a condition to making a Credit Extension (other than to the extent constituting a conversion or continuation), the Administrative Agent may require the applicable Borrower to deliver a certificate from an Authorized Officer of the Parent, certifying that such officer (a) has reviewed the terms of this Agreement and (b) has no knowledge of the existence of any condition or event which constitutes (or would constitute, if the applicable Borrower were a Material Subsidiary) a Default or Unmatured Default as of the date of such certificate.

ARTICLE X

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Each of the Lenders and each LC Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

 

---

The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with any Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 8.2), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.  The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 8.2) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Unmatured Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by a Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person.  The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

 

---

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.  Each of the European Administrative Agent and the Canadian Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be a sub-agent of the Administrative Agent for all purposes of this Agreement and entitled to the benefits of this Article X.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the LC Issuers and the Parent.  Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor which, if no Default under Sections 7.2, 7.6 or 7.7 exists, is approved by the Parent (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld).  If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders (and if applicable, approved by the Parent) and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the LC Issuers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank.  Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder.  The fees payable by the Parent to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Parent and such successor.  After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.6 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

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

Neither any of the Lenders identified in this Agreement as a “co-agent” nor any Syndication Agent shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such.  Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Lenders shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender.
