shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent's Office an amount
in immediately available funds equal to the amount of the Swing Line Loan to be made by the

Swing Line Loans at a time when a Lender Default exists unless the Swing Line Lender has

Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Swing Line Loan available to Borrowers
on such Borrowing Date by depositing such proceeds into a Direct Funding Account (or such
other account as is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) in immediately available
funds.
(b)

absolute discretion may, on behalf of Borrowers (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swing
Line Lender to act on its behalf), on one Banking Day's notice given by the Swing Line Lender
no later than 12:00 Noon, request each Revolving Lender to make, and each Revolving Lender
hereby agrees to make, a Revolving Loan, in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender's
Revolving Credit Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Swing Line Loans (the "Refunded
Swing Line Loans") outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay the Swing Line Lender. The
Swing Line Lender shall promptly notify Borrowers of any such request as soon as reasonably
practicable. Each Revolving Lender shall make the amount of such Revolving Loan available to
the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent's Office in immediately available funds,
not later than 10:00 A.M., one Banking Day after the date of such notice. The proceeds of such
Revolving Loans shall be immediately made available by the Administrative Agent to the Swing
Line Lender for application by the Swing Line Lender to the repayment of the Refunded Swing
Line Loans. Each Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to charge Borrowers'
accounts with the Administrative Agent (up to the amount available in each such account) in
order to immediately pay the amount of such Refunded Swing Line Loans to the extent amounts
received from the Revolving Lenders are not sufficient to repay in full such Refunded Swing
Line Loans and the Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrowers with notice of any such
action as soon as reasonably practicable.

Whenever, at any time after the Swing Line Lender has received from any
Revolving Lender such Lender's Swing Line Participation Amount, the Swing Line Lender
receives any payment on account of the Swing Line Loans, the Swing Line Lender will distribute

case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Lender's
participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest
payments, to reflect such Revolving Lender's pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is
not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Swing Line Loans then due); provided,
however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swing Line Lender is required to be
returned, such Revolving Lender will return to the Swing Line Lender any portion thereof
previously distributed to it by the Swing Line Lender.

Each prepayment of the types required by clauses (a)(ii) through
(a)(v) shall be applied to the prepayment of the Revolving Loans and the Term Loans,
ratably on the basis of the proportions that (1) the Revolving Commitments on the
Closing Date bear to (2) the Term Commitments on the Closing Date. To the extent that
any Conversion Term Loans are then outstanding, then the portion of such prepayment
allocable to the Revolving Loans shall be applied to the prepayment of the Revolving
Loans and the Conversion Term Loans, ratably on the basis that the principal amount of
the Conversion Term Loans then outstanding bears to the Total Revolving Commitments
then outstanding. Each such prepayment of the Revolving Loans shall correspondingly
reduce the Revolving Commitments. The portion of such prepayment allocable to the
Term Loans shall be applied ratably to the prepayment of the Term Loans then
outstanding.
(iii)
Each prepayment made from Excess Cash Flow shall be applied

correspondingly reduce the Total Revolving Commitments (provided that no such
application shall result in the Total Revolving Commitments being less than
$300,000,000 (or, to the extent that the conversion thereof to Conversion Term Loans
contemplated by Section 2.3 has not yet occurred, $500,000,000).

particular Facility may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan (i) when any Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Facility Lenders in
respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such
conversions or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the final scheduled termination or
maturity date of such Facility. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.
(b)
Any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the
then current Interest Period with respect thereto by any 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 Eurodollar 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
Required Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole
discretion not to permit such continuations or (ii) after the date that is one month prior to the
final scheduled termination or maturity date of such Facility, and pro~ided, further, that if
Borrowers shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such

converted to Base Rate Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt
of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.
2.13 Minimum Amounts and Maximum Number of Eurodollar Tranches.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions,
continuations and optional prepayments of Eurodollar Loans hereunder and all selections of
Interest Periods hereunder 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 Eurodollar Loans
comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than ten Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding
at anyone time.
2.14

Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such
Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.
(b)
Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for each day at a rate per annum
equal to the Base Rate determined for such day 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) or an Event of Default has otherwise occurred and is continuing, all
outstanding Loans and Reimbursement Obligations (whether or not overdue) shall bear interest
at a rate per annum that is 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 2.0% or (y) in the
case of Reimbursement Obligations, the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving
Credit Facility plus 2.0%, 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 (in

accordance with Section 2.8 or otherwise) 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 Base Rate Loans under the relevant Facility plus 2.0%
(or, in the case of any such other amounts that do not relate to a particular Facility, the rate then
applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility plus 2.0%), in each case, with
respect to subsections (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is
paid in full (after as well as before judgment) or so long as such Event of Default is continuing.
(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.
2.15
Computation of Interest and Fees.
(a)
Interest, fees and commissions payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated
on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to Base Rate
Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of Bank of America's "prime rate",
the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 or 366-day year for the actual days
elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify Borrowers and the
relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a
Loan resulting from a change in the Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements 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 Borrowers 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 Borrowers and
the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of
Borrowers, deliver to Borrowers a statement showing the quotations, if any, used by the
Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.15(a).
(c)
If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial
statements of Borrowers or for any other reason, the Administrative Agent determines that (i) the
Total Leverage Ratio as calculated by Borrowers as of any applicable date was inaccurate and
(ii) a proper calculation of the Total Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for
such period, Borrowers shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, promptly on demand by the
Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief
with respect to Borrowers under the Bankruptcy Code, automatically and without further action
by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender), an amount equal to the excess
of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of
interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, under Section 3.3,
3.9 or 2.14(c) or under Section 8. Borrowers' obligations under this paragraph shall survive the
termination of the Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

Case 1:09-md-02106-ASG Document 37-2 Entered on FLSD Docket 02/18/2010 Page 14 of 49
(a)
the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be
conclusive and binding upon Borrowers) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant
market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such
Interest Period, or
(b)
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Applicable
Facility Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be
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 Borrowers and the
relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar
Loans under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period
shall be made as Base Rate Loans, (y) any Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have
been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as
Base Rate Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be
converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, to Base Rate
Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar
Loans under the relevant Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall Borrowers have
the right to convert Loans under the relevant Facility to Eurodollar Loans.
2.17
Requirements of Law.
(a)
If the 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 date hereof:
(i)
shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with
respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or
change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for
Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 2.18 and changes in the basis of taxation or rate
of tax on the overall net income (including branch profits) and franchise (and similar)
taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes of such Lender);
(ii)
shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special
deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other
liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any
other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in
the determination of the Eurodollar Rate hereunder; or
(iii)
shall impose on such Lender any other condition;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which
such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining
Eurodollar Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount
receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, Borrowers shall promptly pay

such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender on
an after-tax basis for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable; provided, that Borrowers
shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this subsection (a) for any increased
costs or reduced amounts receivable from more than six months prior to the date on which such
Lender notified Borrowers of such Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor; and
provided, further, that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect,
then such six-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. If
any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall
promptly notify Borrowers in writing (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by
reason of which it has become so entitled, and setting forth in such notice, in reasonable detail,
the basis and calculation of such amounts.
(b)
If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in
any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy 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 adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any
Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof 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)
by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by
such Lender to Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor
(which request shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis and calculation of the additional
amounts sought), Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or am0l;lnts as set
forth in the aforesaid notice; provided, that Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a
Lender pursuant to this subsection (b) for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to
the date on which such Lender notified Borrowers of such Lender's intention to claim
compensation therefor; and provided, further, that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim
have a retroactive effect, then such six -month period shall be extended to include the period of
such retroactive effect.
(c)
A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section
submitted by any Lender to Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and setting
forth, in reasonable detail, the basis and calculation of such amounts shall be conclusive in the
absence of manifest error. The obligations of Borrowers pursuant to this Section shall survive
the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable
hereunder.
(d)
Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of that Lender's
right to demand such compensation, provided that Borrowers shall not be required to compensate
a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or
reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrowers of
the circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of that Lender's intention
to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the circumstances giving rise to such increased
costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended

2.18
Taxes.
(a)
All payments made by any Borrower or any Guarantor under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction
or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies,
imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied,
collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes
(including branch profits taxes) and franchise and similar taxes (imposed in lieu of net income
taxes) imposed on the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Manager or any Lender as a
result of a present or former connection between Administrative Agent, such Arranger, such
Manager or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax
or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection
arising solely from Administrative Agent's, such Arranger's, such Manager's or such Lender's
having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or
enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies,
imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings ("Non-Excluded Taxes ") are required
to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent, to any Arranger, any
Manager or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to Administrative Agent, such
Arranger, such Manager or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the
Administrative Agent, such Arranger, such Manager or such Lender (after payment of all NonExcluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts that would have been received hereunder or
under any other Loan Document had such withholding not been required; provided, however,
that a Borrower or a Guarantor shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to the
Administrative Agent, to any Arranger, any Manager or any Lender with respect to any NonExcluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to Administrative Agent's, such Arranger's, such
Manager's or such Lender's failure to comply with the requirements of subsection (f) or (g) of
this Section 2.18, or (ii) that are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to
Administrative Agent, such Arranger, such Manager or such Lender at the time Administrative
Agent, such Arranger, such Manager or such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except
to the extent that Administrative Agent's, such Arranger's, such Manager's or such Lender's
assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of-assignment, to receive additional amounts from a
Borrower or a Guarantor with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this Section
2.18(a). The applicable Borrower or Guarantor shall make any such required withholding and
pay the full amount withheld to the relevant tax authority or other Governmental Authority in
accordance with applicable Requirements of Law.
(b)
If any Arranger, Agent, Manager or Lender, as applicable, receives a
refund, credit or other tax benefit in respect of a tax for which a payment has been made by any
Borrower or Guarantor pursuant to this Section 2.18, which refund, credit or other tax benefit in
the good faith judgment of such Arranger, Agent, Manager or Lender, as the case may be, is
attributable to such payment made by such Borrower or Guarantor, then such Arranger, Agent,
Manager or Lender, as the case may be, shall reimburse such Borrower or Guarantor for such
amount as such Arranger, Agent, Manager or Lender, as the case may be, determines in good
faith to be the proportion of the refund, credit or other tax benefit as will leave it, after such
reimbursement, in the same position it would have been in if the payment of such tax and any

-56-
Case 1:09-md-02106-ASG Document 37-2 Entered on FLSD Docket 02/18/2010 Page 17 of 49
payment by such Borrower or Guarantor under this Section 2.18 had not been made. Subject to
the first sentence of this Section 2.18(b), upon the reasonable request of a Borrower or a
Guarantor (and at the expense of such Persons), the Lender or the Administrative Agent, as
applicable, shall at its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, use reasonable efforts to cooperate
with a Borrower or a Guarantor with a view to obtaining a refund, credit or other tax benefit in
respect of any Non-Excluded Taxes with respect to which a Borrower or a Guarantor has paid
any amounts pursuant to Section 2.18 and which a Borrower or a Guarantor, on advice of
counsel, reasonably believes were not correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority.
(c)
Subject to subsection (f) below, Borrowers shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent, each Arranger, each Manager and any Lender for the full amount of NonExcluded Taxes to the extent payable but not paid by any Borrower or any Guarantor pursuant to
Section 2.18(a) and paid by such Arranger, Agent, Manager or Lender or any of their respective
Affiliates (including, without limitation, any Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by any
.
Governmental Authority on amounts payable under Section 2.18(a) or this Section 2.18(c) and
any penalties, additions to tax interest and related expenses attributable to such Non-Excluded
Taxes). Payment under this indemnification shall be made within ten Banking Days from the
date the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Manager or any Lender or any of their
respective Affiliates makes written demand therefor, which demand shall set forth in reasonable
detail the basis and calculation of the amounts demanded. Any Lender (or transferee) claiming
any indemnity payment or additional amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.18(a) shall use
reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to file any certificate or
document reasonably requested in writing by a Borrower or a Guarantor if the making of such a
filing would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such indemnity payment or
additional amounts that may thereafter accrue.
(d)
Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by a Borrower or a
Guarantor, such Borrower or Guarantor shall pay such taxes in accordance with applicable
Requirements of Law and, as promptly as practicable thereafter, such Borrower or Guarantor
shall send to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Arranger, Agent, Manager
or Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by such
Borrower or Guarantor showing payment thereof.
(e)
The agreements in this Section 2.18 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
Each Lender (or transferee) that is not a "United States person" (as defined
in Section 7701 (a)(30) of the Code) (a "Non-U.S. Lender") shall deliver to Borrowers and the
Administrative Agent (and, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related
participation shall have been purchased) two duly completed copies of U.S. Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8BEN and/or Form W-8 IMY or Form W-8ECI, or, in the case of a Non-U.S.
Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of
the Code with respect to payments of "portfolio interest," a Form W-8BEN and a statement
substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto to the effect that such Non-U.S. 'Lender is eligible
for a complete exemption from withholding of U.S. taxes under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the
Code, or any subsequent versions of any of the foregoing or successors thereto, properly

completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a
reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by any Borrower or any Guarantor
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each
Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of
any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation) and on
or before the date of the first payment to it following the date, if any, such Non-U .S. Lender
changes its applicable lending office pursuant to Section 2.21 hereof. In addition, each Non-U.S.
Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form
previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify
Borrowers at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously
delivered certificate to Borrowers (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing
authorities for such purpose). If a Non-U.S. Lender is unable to deliver any form pursuant to this
Section 2.18(f), such Non-U.S. Lender shall be entitled to neither relief from withholding nor
indemnity hereunder with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes for the period that would have been
covered by such form, unless (i) such Non-U.S. Lender's inability to deliver such form resulted
from a change in law after the date on which such Lender became a Lender hereunder or as a
result of a change in the circumstances of any Borrower or any Guarantor or the use of proceeds
of such Non-U.S. Lender's loans or (ii) such Non-U.S. Lender's assignor (if any) was entitled, at
the time of assignment, to the indemnity afforded hereunder. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this paragraph, a Non-U .S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant
to this paragraph that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver. Each Lender that is
not a Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly deliver to Borrowers two duly completed copies of United
States Internal Revenue Service Forni W-9 (or any applicable successor form) establishing that
such Lender is not subject to Untied States backup withholding tax.
(g)
Each Arranger, Agent, Manager and Lender that is entitled to an
.exemption from non- U.S. withholding taxes under the law of the jurisdiction in which a
Borrower or a Guarantor is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with
respect to payments under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall deliver to
Borrowers and the relevant Guarantor(s), as applicable (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law or reasonably
requested by Borrowers or such Guarantor(s), such properly completed and executed
documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law as will permit such payments to
be made without withholding; provided, that such Arranger, Agent, Manager or Lender is legally
entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Person's judgment such
completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such
Person.
(h)
Each Borrower and each Guarantor shall pay all Non-Excluded Taxes to
the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law.
2.19 Indemnity. Each Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender 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 any Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or
continuation of Eurodollar Loans after such Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (whether as a result of a Stop Funding Notice
or otherwise), (b) default by any Borrower in making any prepayment after such Borrower has

given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a
prepayment or conversion of Eurodollar 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 accmed on the amount so prepaid, or not so
borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or 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 accmed to such Lender on
such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in
the interbank eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section
submitted to Borrowers 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
Letters of Credit and all other amounts payable hereunder.
2.20 lllegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of
or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall
make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this
Agreement, then (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans,
continue Eurodollar Loans as such or convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall
forthwith be canceled and (b) such Lender's Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any,
shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then
current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by
law. If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the
then current Interest Period with respect thereto, Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such
amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.19.
2.21 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence
of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.17, 2.18 or 2.20 with respect to such
Lender, it will, if requested by Borrowers, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy
considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by
such event with the object of avoiding 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 office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided,
further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations or rights of any
Borrower or Lender pursuant to Sections 2.17, 2.18 or 2.20.

(c)
Following the Opening Date, subject to clause (d) below, all Loss
Proceeds received by the Companies shall be applied to the prepayment of the Obligations in
accordance with Sections 2.11 and 2.23, unless, each of the following conditions are satisfied or
waived by the Required Lenders (subject to the last proviso hereof) within 30 Banking Days
after receipt of such Loss Proceeds, in which event such amounts shall be made available by the
Administrative Agent for application to the repair or restoration of the Project:
(i)
such damage or destruction or Event of Loss does not constitute
the destruction of all or substantially all of the Project;
(ii)
no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
(other than a Default or an Event of Default resulting solely from such damage or
destruction or Event of Loss) and after giving effect to any proposed repair and
restoration, no Default or Event of Default will result from such damage or destruction or
proposed repair and restoration or Event of Loss;
(iii)
Borrowers certify, and the Administrative Agent determines after
notice to the Lenders that repair or restoration of the Project to a condition substantially
similar to the condition of the Project immediately prior to the event or events to which
the relevant Loss Proceeds, as the case may be relate, is technically and economically
feasible within a twelve-month period and that a sufficient amount of funds is or will be
available to Borrowers to make such repairs and restorations (subject at all times to
Section 7.7);
(iv)
Borrowers deliver to the Administrative Agent a plan describing in
reasonable detail the nature of the repairs or restoration to be effected and the anticipated
costs and schedule associated therewith (the "Repair Plan"), in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent after notice to the Lenders and in any
event providing for the completion of all associated work prior to the Revolving
Termination Date;
(v)
Borrowers certify, and the Administrative Agent determines after
notice to the Lenders, that a sufficient amount of funds is or will be available to
Borrowers to make all payments on Indebtedness which will become due during and
following the repair period and, in any event, to maintain compliance with the covenants
set forth in Section 7.1 during such repair period;
(vi)
no Permit is necessary to proceed with the repair and restoration of
the Project which the Administrative Agent reasonably determines the Companies will
not be able to obtain as and when required;
(vii) the Administrative Agent shall receive such additional title
insurance, title insurance endorsements, mechanic's lien waivers, certificates, opinions or
other matters as it may reasonably request after notice to the Lenders as necessary or
appropriate in connection with such repairs or restoration of the Project or to preserve or
protect the Lenders' interests hereunder and in the applicable Collateral; and

provided that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to waive any of the conditions set
forth in clauses (i) through (viii) above in its sole discretion as to any Loss Proceeds in an
amount which is not greater than $50,000,000.
(d)
Notwithstanding clause (c) of this Section, if any Event of Loss (or series
of related Events of Loss) occurs with respect to which Loss Proceeds received by the
Companies is less than $10,000,000 then, unless any Default or Event of Default has occurred
and remains continuing, such Loss Proceeds shall be released to the Companies without
satisfaction of the conditions set forth above in clause (c). If an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing (other than a Default or an Event of Default resulting solely from the
Event of Loss giving rise to the receipt of such Loss Proceeds (but in any event including any
Default or Event of Default arising for failure to satisfy the terms of Sections 7.1 or 8(a)), then
any provisions of this Section 2.22 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent
may require the application of the resulting Loss Proceeds (i) to the cure of such Event of
Default (with any remaining Loss Proceeds applied as provided in this Section 2.22), or (ii) if
such Event of Default cannot be cured, toward payment of all other Obligations in connection
with exercise of the Lenders' remedies pursuant to Section 8.
2.23
Payments Generally; Administrative Agent's Clawback.
(a)
General. All payments to be made by Borrowers shall be made without
condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed,
at the Administrative Agent's Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than
12:00 Noon on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to
each Lender its applicable percentage in respect of the relevant Facility (or other applicable share
as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender's
lending office in accordance with clauses (b), (c) and (d) below. All payments received by the
Administrative Agent after 12:00 Noon shall be deemed received on the next succeeding
Banking Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be
made by Borrowers shall come due on a day other than a Banking Day, payment shall be made
on the next following Banking Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected on computing
interest or fees, as the case may be.
(b)
Each borrowing by Borrowers from the Lenders hereunder, each payment
by Borrowers on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the Commitments of the
Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Delay Draw Term Loan Percentages,
Revolving Credit Percentages or Conversion Term Loan Percentages, as the case may be, of the
relevant Lenders. Subject to Section 2.23(d), each payment (other than prepayments) in respect
of principal or interest in respect of the Loans, and each payment in respect of fees or expenses
payable hereunder shall be applied to the amounts of such obligations owing to the Lenders pro
rata according to the respective amounts then due and owing to the Lenders. The application of
any mandatory prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.23 shall be made, first, to Base Rate Loans
and, second, to Eurodollar Loans.

-61-
Case 1:09-md-02106-ASG Document 37-2 Entered on FLSD Docket 02/18/2010 Page 22 of 49
(c)
Each payment (including each prepayment) of Term Loans shall be:
(i)
allocated to the Initial Term Loans and the Delay Draw Term
Loans pro rata based on the outstanding principal amOlmt of the Term Loans;
(ii)
applied to the installments due in respect of the Term Loans
(including the final payments on the Term Loan Termination Date), (A) pro rata based on
the remaining outstanding principal amount of such installments in the case of mandatory
prepayments required pursuant to Section 2.11 (a)(vi) and (B) in the inverse order of the
scheduled maturities of such installments in the case of all other mandatory prepayments.
Amounts prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.
(d)
Each payment (including each prepayment) by Borrowers on accOlmt of
principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the
respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving
Lenders. Each payment in respect of Reimbursement Obligations in connection with any Letter
of Credit shall be made to the Issuing Lender.
(e)
Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent.
(i)
Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a
Lender prior to the proposed date of any Eurodollar Loans (or, in the case of any Base
Rate Loans, prior to 11 :00 A.M. on the date of such borrowing) that such Lender will not
make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender's share of such Loan, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on
such date in accordance with Section 2.4 (or, in the case of a Base Rate Loan, that such
Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by
Section 2.4) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrowers a
corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the
applicable Loan available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and
Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day
from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrowers to but excluding
the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be
made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the
Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank
compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by
the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a
payment to be made by Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If
Borrowers and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the
same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to
Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by Borrowers for such period. If such Lender
pays its share of the applicable Loan to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so
paid shall constitute such Lender's Loan included in such Loan. Any payment by
Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim any Borrower may have against a
Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(ii)
Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent.
Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrowers prior to the
time at which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the
Lenders or the Issuing Lender hereunder that Borrowers will not make such payment, the
Administrative Agent may assume that Borrowers have made such payment on such date
in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the
appropriate Lenders or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount due. In such
event, if Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the appropriate
Lenders or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or
the Issuing Lender, in immediately available nmds with interest thereon, for each day
from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of
payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate_
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry TIlles on
interbank compensation.
(iii)
Conclusive Presumption. A notice of the Administrative Agent to
any Lender or Borrowers with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (e)
shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(f)
Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to
the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the
foregoing provisions of this Section 2, and such funds are not made available to Borrowers by
the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable extensions of credit set forth in
Section 5 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative
Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender,
without interest.
Qbligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder
(g)
to make Term Loans and Revolving Loans, to nmd participations in Letters of Credit and Swing
Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 1O.5(c) are several and not joint. The
failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment
under Section 1O.5(c) on any date required heretmder shall not' relieve any other Lender of its
corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure
of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment
under Section 1O.5(c).
(h)
Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender
to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or marmer or to constitute a
representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any
particular place or marmer.
(i)
Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and
available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, UC Borrowings,
interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward payment of
interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance
with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, toward payment of

principal and LIe Borrowings then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in
accordance with the amounts of principal and LIe Borrowings then due to such parties.
2.24 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any
right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of (a) Obligations in
respect of any the Facilities due and payable to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to·the proportion of (i) the
amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate
amount of the Obligations in respect of the Facilities due and payable to all Lenders hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations in
respect of the Facilities due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time or (b) Obligations in respect of
any of the Facilities owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of
(i) the amount of such Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender at such time
to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations in respect of the Facilities owing (but not due and
payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of
payments on account of the Obligations in respect of the Facilities owing (but not due and
payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by
all of the Lenders at such time then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify
the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in
the Loans and subparticipations in LIe Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders,
or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments
shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of Obligations in
respect of the Facilities then due and payable to the Lenders or owing (but not due and payable)
to the Lenders, as the case may be, provided that:
(i)
if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all
or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or
subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such
recovery, without interest; and
(ii)
the provisions of this Section shall not be constmed to apply to (A)
any payment made by Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of
this Agreement or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the
assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in LIe
Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to any
Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall
apply).

effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the
foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim
with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such
Borrower in the amount of such participation.

amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in
form and detail satisfactory to the Issuing Lender (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the
proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Banking Day); (C) the nature of the

Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the
Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from Borrowers
and, if not, the Issuing Lender will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof.
Unless the Issuing Lender has received written notice from any Revolving Lender, the
Administrative Agent or Borrowers, at least one Banking Day prior to the requested date of
issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions
contained Section 3.4 of the Disbursement Agreement (or, to the extent of Letters of Credit not
supporting the payment of Project Costs, the conditions in Section 5.3) shall not then be satisfied,
then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Lender shall, on the requested date,
issue a Letter of Credit for the account of Borrowers or enter into the applicable amendment, as
the case may be, in each case in accordance with the Issuing Lender's usual and customary
business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving
Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from
the Issuing Lender a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product
of such Revolving Lender's applicable Revolving Credit Percentage times the amount of such
Letter of Credit.
(c)

Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 A.M. on the date of any payment by the
Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit, or if any such payment is made after 11:00 A.M. on or
before 11 :00 A.M. of the next Banking Day (each such date, an "Honor Date It):
(i)
if such Letter of Credit was issued to support the payment of
Project Costs, to the extent of any funds contained in the Bank Proceeds Account, the
Administrative Agent shall debit the Bank Proceeds Account for the amount of such
drawing and apply such amount to the reimbursement of the Letter of Credit;
(ii)
to the extent that sufficient funds to reimburse such payment are
not present in the Bank Proceeds Account (to the extent that such Letter of Credit was
issued to support the payment of Project Costs) or Borrowers do not otherwise timely
reimburse the Issuing Lender from other available sources, Borrowers shall be deemed to
have requested the making of a Revolving Loans which are Base Rate Loans in the
amount of such payment.
The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the Honor Date, the
amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the "Unreimbursed Amount"), and the amount of any
Revolving Loans required pursuant to clause (ii) above and such Revolving Lender's applicable
Revolving Credit Percentage thereof. In any such event, Borrowers shall be deemed to have
requested a Revolving Loan of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in the
Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.4 for
the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of
the Revolving Commitments. Any notice given by the Issuing Lender or the Administrative
Agent pursuant to this Section 3.3(a) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in
writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the
conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.
(b)
Each Revolving Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 3.3(a)
make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender at the
Administrative Agent's Office in an amount equal to its applicable Revolving Credit Percentage
of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Banking Day specified in such
notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 3.3(c), each
Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan
to Borrowers in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the
Issuing Lender.
(c)
With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by
a borrowing of Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 3.3(a) for any reason, Borrowers shall be
deemed to have incurred from the Issuing Lender an UC Borrowing in the amount of the
Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which UC Borrowing shall be due and payable
on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate set forth in Section 2. 14(c).
In such event, each Revolving Lender's payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.3(b) shall be deemed payment in respect of its
participation in such UC Borrowing and shall constitute an UC Advance from such Lender in
satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 3.3.

(d)
Until each Revolving Lender funds its Revolving Loan or UC Advance
pursuant to this Section 3.3 to reimburse the Issuing Lender for any amount drawn under any
Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender's applicable Revolving Credit Percentage of
such amount shall be solely for the accmmt of the Issuing Lender.
(e)
Each Revolving Lender's obligation to make Revolving Loans or UC
Advances to reimburse the Issuing Lender for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as
contemplated by this Section 3.3, 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 Issuing Lender, any 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. No such making
of an UC Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of Borrowers to reimburse the
Issuing Lender for the amount of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of
Credit, together with interest as provided herein.
(f)
If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.3 by the time specified in Section 3.3(b),
the Issuing 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
Issuing Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate
determined by the Issuing Lender in accordance with banking industry mles on interbank
compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the
Issuing Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest
and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's Loan included in the
relevant Loan or UC Advance in respect of the relevant UC Borrowing, as the case may be. A
certificate of the Issuing Lender submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative
Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 3.3(f) shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.
3.4
Repayment of Participations.
(a)
At any time after the Issuing Lender has made a payment under any Letter
of Credit and has received from any Revolving Lender such Lender's UC Advance in respect of
such payment in accordance with Section 3.3, if the Administrative Agent receives for the
account of the Issuing Lender any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or
interest thereon (whether directly from Borrowers or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash
Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute
to such Lender its applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof in the same funds as those
received by the Administrative Agent.
(b)
If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of
the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 3.3(b) is required to be returned under any of the
circumstances described in Section 10.20 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by
the Issuing Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender its applicable Revolving Credit Percentage thereof

on demand of the Administrative Agent, Qlus interest thereon from the date of such demand to
the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds

Issuing Lender for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each UC Borrowing

terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee
may be acting), the Issuing Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this
Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or
instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;
(c)
any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such
Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any
statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the
transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such
Letter of Credit;
(d)
any payment by the Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit against
presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of
Credit; or any payment made by the Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit to any Person
purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of
creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any
transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding
under any Debtor Relief Law; or
(e)
any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to
any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense
available to, provided, in each case, that any action taken by the Issuing Lender with respect to
the applicable Letter of Credit shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct
of the Issuing Lender, or a discharge of, .any Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries.
Borrowers shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each
amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with
Borrowers' instructions or other irregularity, Borrowers will promptly notify the Issuing Lender.
Borrowers shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the Issuing
Lender and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.
3.6

-70-
Case 1:09-md-02106-ASG Document 37-2 Entered on FLSD Docket 02/18/2010 Page 31 of 49
to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required
by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such
document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the
Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any
correspondent, participant or assignee of the Issuing Lender shall be liable to any Lender for (i)
any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the
Revolving Lenders or the Required Facility Lenders with respect to the Revolving Credit
Facility, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or
willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any
document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. Borrowers hereby
assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of
any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not,
preclude Borrowers' pursuing such rights and remedies as they may have against the beneficiary
or transferee at law, under any custom or practice, or under any other agreement. None of the
Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any
correspondent, participant or assignee of the Issuing Lender shall be liable or responsible for any
of the matters described in clauses (a) through (e) of Section 3.5; provided, however, that
anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrowers may have a claim against
the Issuing Lender, and the Issuing Lender may be liable to Borrowers, to the extent, but only to
the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by
Borrowers which Borrowers prove were caused by the Issuing Lender's willful misconduct or
gross negligence or the Issuing Lender's willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the
presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the
terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing,
the Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without
responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary,
and the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument
transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or
benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or
ineffective for any reason.
3.7
Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if the
Issuing Lender has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and
such drawing has resulted in an UC Borrowing, or (ii) if, as of end of the UC Commitment
Period, any UC Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, Borrowers shall, in each case,
immediately Cash Collateralize the then outstanding amount of all UC Obligations. Section 8
sets forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder. For purposes of
this Section 3.7, "Cash. Collateralize" means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lender and the Lenders, as collateral for the
UC Obligations, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in form and
substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender (which documents are
hereby consented to by the Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings.
Each Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lender
and the Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and
all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest
bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America. If at any time the Administrative Agent
determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person
W02-WEST:I BEHI\400161289.18
-71-
Case 1:09-md-02106-ASG Document 37-2 Entered on FLSD Docket 02/18/2010 Page 32 of 49
other than the Administrative Agent or that the total amount of such funds is less than the
aggregate outstanding amount of all UC Obligations, Borrowers will, forthwith upon demand by
the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited as
Cash Collateral, an amount equal to the excess of (x) such aggregate outstanding amount over
(y) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the Administrative Agent
determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any Letter of
Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the
extent permitted under applicable Requirements of Law, to reimburse the Issuing Lender.
3.8
Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the
Issuing Lender and Borrowers when a Letter of Credit is issued, (a) the mles of the ISP shall
apply to each standby Letter of Credit, and (ii) the mles of the Uniform Customs and Practice for
Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at
the time of issuance shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.
3.9
Letter of Credit Fees. Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for
the account of each Revolving Lender in accordance with its applicable Revolving Credit
Percentage a Letter of Credit fee (the "Letter of Credit Fee") for each Letter of Credit equal to
the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurodollar Loans under the Revolving
Credit Facility times the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. For
purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the
amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.3. Letter of
Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the first Banking Day after the end of each March,
June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance
of such Letter of Credit, on the expiry date of such Letter of Credit and thereafter on demand and
(ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. If there is any change in the Applicable Margin
during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each standby Letter of Credit
shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Margin separately for each period during
such quarter that such Applicable Margin was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required Facility Lenders with respect to the
Revolving Credit Facility, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall
accme at the rate set forth in Section 2.14(c).
3.10 Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges ~ayable to Issuing
Lender. Borrowers shall pay directly to the Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee (i)
with respect to each commercial Letter of Credit, at the rate specified in the Administrative
Agent Fee Letter, computed on the amOlmt of such Letter of Credit, and payable upon the
issuance thereof, (ii) with respect to any amendment of a commercial Letter of Credit increasing
the amount of such Letter of Credit, at a rate separately agreed between Borrowers and the
Issuing Lender, computed on the amount of such increase, and payable upon the effectiveness of
such amendment, and (iii) with respect to each standby Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum
specified in the Administrative Agent Fee Letter, computed on the daily amount available to be
drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due
and payable on the tenth Banking Day after the end of each March, June, September and
December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case
of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such
Letter of Credit, on the expiry date of such Letter of Credit and thereafter on demand. For
purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the

amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.3. In addition,
Borrowers shall pay directly to the Issuing Lender for its own account the customary issuance,
presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the

amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, Borrowers shall, forthwith upon demand by the

be applied to repay other Obligations. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been
fully drawn upon, all Reimbursement Obligations shall have been satisfied and all other
Obligations have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be
returned to the Companies (or such other Person as may be lawfully entitled thereto).

Section 8, for purposes of determining the required lender consent pursuant to the applicable
definitions thereto (whether the "Required Lenders", the "Required Facility Lenders" or
otherwise), the Commitments of the Lenders shall be deemed terminated.
