the terms set forth herein, each Term Lender severally agrees to
make term loans (“ Term Loans ”) to the Borrower
on any Business Day during the Term Loan Commitment Period in an
aggregate principal amount not to exceed the amount of the Term
Loan Commitment of such Lender; provided that no Term Loans
shall be made if after the making of such Loan the Total
Outstandings, excluding the Outstanding Amount of any New Loans,
would exceed $1,000,000,000 or, if less, the aggregate amount of
the Term Loan Commitments. Term Loans may from time to time be
Eurodollar Loans or Base Rate Loans, as determined by the Borrower
and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section
2.02. Term Loans borrowed and subsequently repaid or prepaid may
not be reborrowed.
SECTION 2.02.
Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans .
(a) Each Term Borrowing, each New Loan Borrowing, each
conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each
continuation of Eurodollar Loans shall be made upon the
Borrower’s delivery of an irrevocable Borrowing Notice to the
Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such
notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than
12:30 p.m. (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date
of any Borrowing or continuation of Eurodollar Loans or any
conversion of Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans, and (ii) one (1)
Business Day before the requested date of any Term Borrowing or New
Loan Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Each telephonic notice by the
Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed
promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written
Borrowing Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a
Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each Borrowing of Term Loans
shall be in a minimum amount of $20,000,000 or a whole multiple of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof and each Borrowing of any Series of
New Loans shall be in an amount agreed upon with the New Loan
Lender in respect of such New Loans. Each conversion to or
continuation of Eurodollar Loans shall be in a principal amount of
$5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.
Each conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount
of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof.
Each Borrowing Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify
(i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Term Borrowing, a New Loan
Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a
continuation of Eurodollar Loans, (ii) the requested date of the
Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which

applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect

Borrowing Notice or fails to give a timely notice requesting a
conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made
as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion
to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the
Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable
Eurodollar Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of,
conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Loans in any such
Borrowing Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will
be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1)
month.
(b) Following receipt of a
Borrowing Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify
each Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the Loans, and
if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by
the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each applicable
Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate
Loans described in Section 2.02(a). In the case of each Term
Borrowing or New Loan Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount
of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately
available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not
later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the
applicable Borrowing Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable
conditions set forth in
25

Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in
like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by
(i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of the
Administrative Agent with the amount of such funds or
(ii) wire transfer of such funds (including to any Cash
Collateral Account at the request of the Borrower or otherwise in
accordance with the terms hereof), in each case in accordance with
instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the
Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided , that if on
the date of a Term Borrowing or New Loan Borrowing there are Swing
Line Loans outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall
be applied, first, to the payment in full of any such Swing Line
Loans, and second, to the Borrower as provided above.
(c) Except as otherwise
provided herein, a Eurodollar Loan may be continued or converted
only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loan
unless the Borrower pays the amount due, if any, under
Section 3.05 in connection therewith. During the existence of
an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or the Required
Lenders may require that no Loans may be converted to or continued
as Eurodollar Loans.
(d) The Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest
rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Loans upon
determination of such interest rate. The determination of the
Adjusted LIBO Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive
in the absence of manifest error. At any time that Base Rate Loans
are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower
and the Lenders of any change in the Prime Rate used in determining
the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such
change.

all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the
other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall
not be more than ten (10) Interest Periods in
effect.
(f) The failure of any Lender
to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall
not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder
to make its Loan on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall
be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan
to be made by such other Lender on the date of any
Borrowing.
SECTION 2.03. Swing
Line Loans . (a) The Swing Line . Subject to the
terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees

(other than the Closing Date) from the Closing Date and until the
Business Day preceding the Term Loan Commitment Termination Date
or, if applicable, any New Loan Commitment Termination Date, in an
aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount
of the Swing Line Sublimit, provided that, the Borrower
shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any
outstanding Swing Line Loan and provided further that (i) no
Swing Line Loans shall be made if after the making of such Loan the
Total Outstandings hereunder would exceed (A) $1,000,000,000 less
(B) the amount of Term Loan Commitments that have terminated or
expired, plus (C) the aggregate amount of any New Loans and New
Loan Commitments and (ii) no Swing Line Loan shall be made in an
amount exceeding the outstanding and unfunded Commitments hereunder
at such time. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other
terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this
Section 2.03, prepay under Section 2.04 and re-borrow under this
Section 2.03. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan.
Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan by the Swing Line
Lender, each other Lender under a Facility required to buy
participations in such Swing Line Loan pursuant to Section
2.03(d)(v) shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a
risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to
the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount
of such Swing Line Loan.
26
(b) Borrowing
Procedures . Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the
Borrower’s delivery of an irrevocable Swing Line Loan Notice
to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be
given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing
Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 12:30 p.m.
on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the
amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, and
(ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business
Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by
delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a
written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed
by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Promptly after receipt by
the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the
Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by
telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also
received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line
Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in
writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has
received notice (by telephone or in writing and if by telephone
with written notice to follow promptly thereafter) from the
Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior
to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing
(A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing
Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the provisos
to the first sentence of Section 2.03(a) or (B) that one
or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02
is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions
hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the
borrowing date specified in the applicable Swing Line Loan Notice,
make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the
Borrower.
(c) Following receipt of a
Swing Line Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender thereof and of the amount of its Pro Rata Share
of any Swing Line Loans to be made pursuant to such Swing Line Loan
Notice and repaid by Loans pursuant to clause
(d) below.
(d) Repayment of Swing
Line Loans .
(i) On the first Business Day
immediately following the day on which any Swing Line Loan is made,
the entire principal amount of outstanding Swing Line Loans shall
be repaid by Base Rate Loans (other than Swing Line Loans). In
furtherance thereof, upon delivery of any Swing Line Loan Notice,
the Borrower shall also submit (and, if it fails to so submit,
shall be deemed to have submitted) a Borrowing Notice for the
Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (other than Swing Line Loans) on the
next Business Day in an amount equal to the amount to be borrowed
pursuant to such Swing Line Loan Notice. Each Lender shall make an
amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount specified in the
applicable Borrowing Notice delivered (or deemed delivered) to the
Administrative Agent available to the Administrative Agent in
immediately available funds for the account of the Swing Line
Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than
1:00 p.m. on such day, whereupon each Lender that so makes funds
available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan under its
Commitments to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative
Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line
Lender.
(ii) If for any reason any
Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Borrowing in
accordance with Section 2.03(d)(i), the Swing Line Lender
shall be deemed to have requested that each of the Lenders fund its
risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each
Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.03(d)(i) shall
be deemed payment in respect of such participation.
27
(iii) If any Lender fails to
make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(d)
by the time specified in Section 2.03(d)(i), the Swing Line
Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting
through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with
interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is
required to the date on which such payment is immediately available
to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Federal
Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the Swing
Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative
Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause
(iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(iv) Each Lender’s
obligation to make Base Rate Loans or to purchase and fund risk
participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.03(d) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall
not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender
may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other
Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or
continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event
or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing;
provided that each Lender’s obligation to make Loans
pursuant to this Section 2.03(d) is subject to the conditions
set forth in Section 4.02. No such funding of risk
participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of
the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as
provided herein
(v) For the avoidance of
doubt, all Borrowings of Loans to refinance Swing Line Loans, and
all fundings of risk participations in Swing Line Loans, shall be
made first from Term Loans and at such time as the Term Loan
Commitments have been fully utilized, from New Loans.
(e) Repayment of
Participations .
(i) At any time after
any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing
Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account
of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to
such Lender its Pro Rata Share of such payment (appropriately
adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period
of time during which such Lender’s risk participation was
funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line
Lender.
(ii) If any payment received
by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any
Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender
under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing
Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Swing
Line Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the
Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such
demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum
equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent will make
such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender.
(f) Interest for Account
of Swing Line Lender . The Swing Line Lender shall be
responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing
Line Loans. Until each Lender funds its Pro Rata Share of Base Rate
Loans or Pro Rata Share of the risk participation pursuant to this
Section 2.03 to refinance any Swing Line Loan, interest in
respect of such Pro Rata Share shall be solely for the account of
the Swing Line Lender.
28

Swing Line Lender . The Borrower shall make all payments of
principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly
to the Swing Line Lender.
SECTION 2.04.

such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. The
Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its
receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. If such notice is
given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and
the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and
payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a
Eurodollar Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required
pursuant to Section 3.05. Each prepayment of the Loans
pursuant to this Section 2.04(a) shall be paid to the Lenders
in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may
rescind any notice of prepayment under Section 2.04(a) if such
prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all of the
Facilities, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall
otherwise be delayed.
(b) Mandatory
.
(i) (A) If the Borrower
or any Restricted Subsidiary Disposes of any property or assets
(other than in a Disposition of Intellectual Property not
prohibited hereunder), which in the aggregate results in the
realization or receipt by the Borrower or such Restricted
Subsidiary of Net Cash Proceeds, the Borrower shall cause the Loans
to be prepaid, on or prior to the date which is ten
(10) Business Days after the date of the realization or
receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds in an amount equal to 100% of all
Net Cash Proceeds received; provided that no such prepayment
shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.04(b)(i)(A) with
respect to such portion of such Net Cash Proceeds that the Borrower
shall have, on or prior to such date, given written notice to the
Administrative Agent of its intent to reinvest in accordance with
Section 2.04(b)(i)(B) (which notice may only be provided if no
Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing);
(B) With respect to any Net
Cash Proceeds realized or received with respect to any Disposition
(other than any Disposition involving the sale of Equity Interests
in any Subsidiary of the Borrower), the Borrower may reinvest all
or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in assets useful for its
business (including, without limitation, Investments in its
Subsidiaries) within (x) twelve (12) months following
receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds or (y) if the Borrower
enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest such Net Cash
Proceeds within twelve (12) months following receipt
thereof,
29
within one hundred eighty
(180) days of the date of such legally binding commitment;
provided that (i) so long as an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall not be
permitted to make any such reinvestments (other than pursuant to a
legally binding commitment that the Borrower entered into at a time
when no Event of Default was continuing) and (ii) if any Net
Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be or cannot be so
reinvested at any time after delivery of a notice of reinvestment
election or if any Net Cash Proceeds are not reinvested by the
expiration of the relevant time periods set forth above, an amount
equal to any such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied to the
prepayment of the Loans as set forth in this Section 2.04
within five (5) Business Days after the Borrower reasonably
determines that such Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be
or cannot be so reinvested or the expiration of such time
periods.
(ii) If the Borrower or any
Restricted Subsidiary incurs or issues any Indebtedness not
expressly permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to
Section 7.03, the Borrower shall cause Loans to be prepaid in
an amount equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom
on or prior to the date which is five (5) Business Days after
the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds.
(iii) If for any reason the
Total Outstandings at any time exceeds the Aggregate Commitments
then in effect, the Borrower shall promptly prepay, or cause to be
promptly prepaid, Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such
excess.
(iv) If any Subsidiary (other
than any Restricted Subsidiary) of the Borrower or the Restricted
Subsidiaries makes any dividend or distribution (in each case,
whether in cash or Cash Equivalents) with respect to any Equity
Interests in such Subsidiary, or any other payment on account of
the purchase, redemption, retirement, defeasance, acquisition,
cancellation or termination of any such Equity Interest, or on
account of any return of capital to Borrower or any Restricted
Subsidiary, or makes an advance or loan to the Borrower or any
Restricted Subsidiary, then the Borrower shall cause Loans to be
prepaid in an amount equal to 50% of such dividends, distributions
and loans on or prior to the date which is five (5) Business
Days after the receipt thereof; provided that any proceeds
from any Excluded Distributions shall not be required to be so
repaid.
(v) Each prepayment of Loans
pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) shall be paid to the Lenders
in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.
(vi) The Borrower shall
notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory
prepayment of Loans required to be made pursuant to this
Section 2.04 at least three (3) Business Days prior to
the date of such prepayment (except in the case of prepayments to
be made pursuant clause (iii) above, which shall be made
promptly after, or concurrently with, the delivery of such notice).
Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and
provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such
prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each
Lender of the contents of the Borrower’s prepayment notice
and of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the prepayment, which
shall be pro rata across all Facilities.
(c) Funding Losses,
Etc . All prepayments under this Section 2.04 shall be
made together with, in the case of any such prepayment of a
Eurodollar Loan on a date other than the last day of an Interest
Period therefor, any amounts owing in respect of such Eurodollar
Loan pursuant to Section 3.05. Notwithstanding any of the
other provisions of this Section 2.04, so long as no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing (unless agreed to by
the Administrative Agent), if any prepayment of Eurodollar
Loans
30
is required to be made under
Section 2.04(b), other than on the last day of the Interest
Period therefor, the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, deposit
the amount of any such prepayment otherwise required to be made
thereunder into a Cash Collateral Account until the last day of
such Interest Period, at which time the Administrative Agent shall
be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from
the Borrower) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Loans
in accordance with Section 2.04(b). Upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative
Agent shall also be authorized (without any further action by or
notice to or from the Borrower) to apply such amount to the
prepayment of the outstanding Loans in accordance with
Section 2.04(b).
(d) Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, in the event that, prior to the first
anniversary of the Closing Date, (i) any amendment, amendment
and restatement or other modification of this Agreement is entered
into or (ii) any voluntary prepayment of all, but not less
than all, of the Term Loans is made with the proceeds of
Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness incurred through a debt or
equity securities offering) (which voluntary prepayment shall be
deemed to have been made even if a portion of the Term Loans are
replaced, converted re-evidenced with, into or by such Indebtedness
so long as all, but not less than all, of the Term Loans are so
prepaid), in connection with which, in the case of either clause
(i) or clause (ii), the Applicable Rate with the respect to
the Term Loans is decreased (or the interest rate applicable to
such Indebtedness is lower than the interest rate applicable to the
Term Loans), the Borrower shall pay to each holder of a Term Loan,
concurrently with such amendment, amendment and restatement or
other modification of this Agreement or such voluntary prepayment,
a prepayment fee equal to 1% of the aggregate principal amount of
Term Loans then outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such
fee shall be payable if the incurrence of such Indebtedness and
prepayment of the Loans are part of another material transaction or
series of related material transactions the primary purpose of
which is not the refinancing of the Term Loans. For the avoidance
of doubt, no such fee shall be payable in connection with
(i) any prepayment from the proceeds of the issuance of a debt
or equity securities offering or (ii) any prepayment from the
proceeds of debt with an interest rate that is equal to or higher
than that applicable to the Term Loans.

applied to the Swing Line Sublimit unless otherwise specified by
the Borrower); provided that (i) any such notice shall be

in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent, acting
solely for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c), as
agent for the Borrower, in each case in the ordinary course of
business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative
Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie evidence absent
manifest error of the amount of the Borrowing and the interest and
payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so
shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the
Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the
Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and
records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of
the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts
and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the
absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made
through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and
deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Term
Note, New Loan Note or Swing Line Note, as the case may be, payable
to such Lender, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in
addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach
schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if
applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with
respect thereto.

accounts and records referred to in Section 2.10(a), each
Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance
with its usual practice accounts or records and, in the case of the
Administrative Agent, entries in the Register, evidencing the
purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Swing Line
Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and
records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and
records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and
records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of
manifest error.
33
(c) Entries made in good
faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to
Section 2.10(a), and by each Lender in its account or accounts
pursuant to Sections 2.10(a), shall be prima facie evidence
of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to
become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the
Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts,
such Lender, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the
Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any
finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account
or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of
the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.
