(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law<br \/>\nregarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate<br \/>\nof return on such Lender153s capital or on the capital of such Lender153s holding<br \/>\ncompany, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such<br \/>\nLender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender153s holding company<br \/>\ncould have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such<br \/>\nLender153s policies and the policies of such Lender153s holding company with respect<br \/>\nto capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such<br \/>\nLender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such<br \/>\nLender153s holding company for any such reduction suffered. (c) A certificate of a<br \/>\nLender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender<br \/>\nor its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b)<br \/>\nof this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive<br \/>\nabsent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as<br \/>\ndue on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. (d) Failure or<br \/>\ndelay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section<br \/>\nshall not constitute a waiver of such Lender153s right to demand such<br \/>\ncompensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a<br \/>\nLender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred<br \/>\nmore than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of<br \/>\nthe Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such<br \/>\nLender153s intention to claim compensation therefore; provided further that, if<br \/>\nthe Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is<br \/>\nretroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to<br \/>\ninclude the period of retroactive effect thereof.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">26<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Section 2.16 Break Funding Payments.

In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any<br \/>\nLender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the<br \/>\nexcess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the<br \/>\nprincipal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO<br \/>\nRate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date<br \/>\nof such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefore (or,<br \/>\nin the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that<br \/>\nwould have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of<br \/>\ninterest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the<br \/>\ninterest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of<br \/>\nsuch period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other<br \/>\nbanks in the Eurodollar market.

Section 2.18 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment;<br \/>\nSharing of Set-offs. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be<br \/>\nmade by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees, or of amounts<br \/>\npayable under Section 2.15, Section 2.16 or Section 2.17, or otherwise) prior to<br \/>\n12:00 noon, Charlotte, North Carolina time, on the date when due, in immediately<br \/>\navailable funds, without set off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after<br \/>\nsuch time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be<br \/>\ndeemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of<br \/>\ncalculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the<br \/>\nAdministrative Agent at the Payment Office, except payments to be made directly<br \/>\nto the Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments<br \/>\npursuant to Section 2.15, Section 2.16, Section 2.17 and Section 9.3 shall be<br \/>\nmade directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall<br \/>\ndistribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person<br \/>\nto the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment<br \/>\nhereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment<br \/>\nshall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any<br \/>\npayment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of<br \/>\nsuch extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars. (b) If at any<br \/>\ntime insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative<br \/>\nAgent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due<br \/>\nhereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest<br \/>\nand fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in<br \/>\naccordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and<br \/>\n(ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the<br \/>\nparties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to<br \/>\nsuch parties. (c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set off or<br \/>\ncounterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or<br \/>\ninterest on any of its Revolving Loans or participations in Swingline Loans<br \/>\nresulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the<br \/>\naggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and participations in Swingline Loans\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">29<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other<br \/>\nLender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for<br \/>\ncash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans and participations in<br \/>\nSwingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of<br \/>\nall such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the<br \/>\naggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective<br \/>\nRevolving Loans and participations in and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if<br \/>\nany such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment<br \/>\ngiving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the<br \/>\npurchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and<br \/>\n(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any<br \/>\npayment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express<br \/>\nterms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the<br \/>\nexistence of a Defaulting Lender) or any payment obtained by a Lender as<br \/>\nconsideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its<br \/>\nLoans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any<br \/>\nSubsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph<br \/>\nshall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent<br \/>\nit may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a<br \/>\nparticipation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the<br \/>\nBorrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation<br \/>\nas fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount<br \/>\nof such participation. (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received<br \/>\nnotice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the<br \/>\nAdministrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower<br \/>\nwill not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the<br \/>\nBorrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in<br \/>\nreliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such<br \/>\nevent, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the<br \/>\nLenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on<br \/>\ndemand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each<br \/>\nday from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but<br \/>\nexcluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the<br \/>\nFederal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent<br \/>\nin accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Section<br \/>\n2.19 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests<br \/>\ncompensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any<br \/>\nadditional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of<br \/>\nany Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable<br \/>\nefforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans<br \/>\nhereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its<br \/>\noffices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such<br \/>\ndesignation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant<br \/>\nto Section 2.15 or Section 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii)<br \/>\nwould not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not<br \/>\notherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay<br \/>\nall reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any<br \/>\nsuch designation or assignment. (b) If any Lender requests compensation under<br \/>\nSection 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any<br \/>\nLender or any Governmental Authority for the<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">30<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender is a<br \/>\nDefaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon<br \/>\nnotice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to<br \/>\nassign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the<br \/>\nrestrictions contained in Section 9.4), all its interests, rights and<br \/>\nobligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such<br \/>\nobligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such<br \/>\nassignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior<br \/>\nwritten consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not<br \/>\nunreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an<br \/>\namount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in<br \/>\nSwingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts<br \/>\npayable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding<br \/>\nprincipal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all<br \/>\nother amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a<br \/>\nclaim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made<br \/>\npursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such<br \/>\ncompensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such<br \/>\nassignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such<br \/>\nLender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such<br \/>\nassignment and delegation cease to apply. Section 2.20 Increase in the Aggregate<br \/>\nCommitments. (a) The Borrower may, not more than once in any year, by notice to<br \/>\nthe Administrative Agent, request that the aggregate amount of the Commitments<br \/>\nbe increased by a minimum amount equal to $100,000,000 or an integral multiple<br \/>\nof $100,000,000 in excess thereof (each a &#8220;Commitment Increase&#8221;), to be<br \/>\neffective as of a date that is at least 90 days prior to the scheduled Maturity<br \/>\nDate then in effect (the &#8220;Increase Date&#8221;) as specified in the related notice to<br \/>\nthe Administrative Agent; provided, however, that no Default shall have occurred<br \/>\nand be continuing as of the date of such request or as of the applicable<br \/>\nIncrease Date, or shall occur as a result thereof and, provided, further, that<br \/>\nat no time shall the total aggregate Commitments hereunder exceed<br \/>\n$1,500,000,000.

If the Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that they are<br \/>\nwilling to increase the amount of their respective Commitments by an aggregate<br \/>\namount that exceeds the amount of the requested Commitment Increase, the<br \/>\nrequested Commitment Increase shall be allocated among the Lenders willing to<br \/>\nparticipate therein in such amounts as are agreed between the Borrower and the<br \/>\nAdministrative Agent. The failure of any Lender to respond shall be deemed to be<br \/>\na refusal of such Lender to increase its Commitment.

(ii) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other<br \/>\namounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting<br \/>\nLender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or<br \/>\notherwise) shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the<br \/>\nAdministrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by<br \/>\nsuch Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the<br \/>\npayment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to<br \/>\nthe Swingline Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative<br \/>\nAgent or requested by the Swingline Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for<br \/>\nfuture funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender in respect of any<br \/>\nparticipation in any Swingline Loan; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so<br \/>\nlong as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that<br \/>\nDefaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this<br \/>\nAgreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by<br \/>\nthe Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing<br \/>\ndeposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting<br \/>\nLender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts<br \/>\nowing to the Lenders or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a<br \/>\ncourt of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Swingline Lender<br \/>\nagainst that Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender153s breach of<br \/>\nits obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default exists, to<br \/>\nthe payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of<br \/>\na court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such<br \/>\nDefaulting Lender as a result of such<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">35<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Defaulting Lender153s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and<br \/>\neighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of<br \/>\ncompetent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the<br \/>\nprincipal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not<br \/>\nfully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made at a time when<br \/>\nthe conditions set forth in Section 4.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment<br \/>\nshall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro<br \/>\nrata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting<br \/>\nLender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a<br \/>\nDefaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting<br \/>\nLender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section shall be deemed paid<br \/>\nto and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably<br \/>\nconsents hereto. (iii) Any Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any<br \/>\nfacility fee pursuant to Section 2.12 for any period during which that Lender is<br \/>\na Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to the sum of (1) the<br \/>\noutstanding amount of the Revolving Loans funded by it, and (2) its Applicable<br \/>\nPercentage of the Swingline Loans for which it has provided Cash Collateral<br \/>\npursuant to Section 2.22(c) (and the Borrower shall (A) be required to pay to<br \/>\nthe Swingline Lender the amount of such fee allocable to its Fronting Exposure<br \/>\narising from that Defaulting Lender, and (B) not be required to pay the<br \/>\nremaining amount of the facility fee that otherwise would have been required to<br \/>\nhave been paid to that Defaulting Lender). (iv) All or any part of such<br \/>\nDefaulting Lender153s Swingline Exposure shall automatically (effective on the day<br \/>\nsuch Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) be reallocated among the non-Defaulting<br \/>\nLenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated<br \/>\nwithout regard to such Defaulting Lender153s Commitment) but only to the extent<br \/>\nthat (x) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing (and, unless the<br \/>\nBorrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at the time, the<br \/>\nBorrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such condition<br \/>\nis satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the<br \/>\nRevolving Credit Exposure of any non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such<br \/>\nnon-Defaulting Lender153s Commitment. (v) If the reallocation described in clause<br \/>\n(iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall,<br \/>\nwithout prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law,<br \/>\nwithin 2 Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent, Cash<br \/>\nCollateralize such Defaulting Lender153s Swingline Exposure (after giving effect<br \/>\nto any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (iv) above) in accordance with<br \/>\nthe procedures set forth in Section 2.22(c) for so long as such Swingline Loans<br \/>\nare outstanding. (b) If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Swingline<br \/>\nLender agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should<br \/>\nno longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so<br \/>\nnotify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such<br \/>\nnotice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include<br \/>\narrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the<br \/>\nextent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other<br \/>\nLenders or take such other<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">36<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause<br \/>\nthe Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Swingline Loans to<br \/>\nbe held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable<br \/>\nPercentages (without giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv), whereupon such Lender<br \/>\nwill cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made<br \/>\nretroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of<br \/>\nthe Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further,<br \/>\nthat except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no<br \/>\nchange hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or<br \/>\nrelease of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender153s having<br \/>\nbeen a Defaulting Lender. (c) At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting<br \/>\nLender, within 2 Business Days upon the request of the Administrative Agent or<br \/>\nany Swingline Lender, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent<br \/>\nCash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after<br \/>\ngiving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the<br \/>\nDefaulting Lender). (i) All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not<br \/>\nconstituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked,<br \/>\nnon-interest bearing deposit accounts with the Administrative Agent. The<br \/>\nBorrower, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants<br \/>\nto (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of<br \/>\nthe Administrative Agent and the Lenders (including the Swingline Lender), and<br \/>\nagrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit<br \/>\naccounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as<br \/>\ncollateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as<br \/>\nsecurity for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied<br \/>\npursuant to clause (ii) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent<br \/>\ndetermines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person<br \/>\nother than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount<br \/>\nof such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other<br \/>\nobligations secured thereby, the Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender<br \/>\nwill, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the<br \/>\nAdministrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to<br \/>\neliminate such deficiency. (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary<br \/>\ncontained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section<br \/>\n2.22 in respect of Swingline Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction<br \/>\nof the specific Swingline Loans, obligations to fund participations therein<br \/>\n(including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest<br \/>\naccrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral<br \/>\nwas so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be<br \/>\nprovided for herein. (iii) Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof)<br \/>\nprovided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released<br \/>\npromptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or<br \/>\nother obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of<br \/>\nDefaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its<br \/>\nassignee)), or (ii) the Administrative Agent153s good faith determination that<br \/>\nthere exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) that Cash Collateral\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">37<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the<br \/>\ncontinuance of a Default (and following application as provided in this Section<br \/>\n2.22 may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 2.18), and (y) the<br \/>\nPerson providing Cash Collateral and the Swingline Lender may agree that Cash<br \/>\nCollateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated<br \/>\nFronting Exposure or other obligations. <strong>ARTICLE III<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES<\/strong> The Borrower represents and<br \/>\nwarrants to the Lenders that: Section 3.1 Organization; Powers.

The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the<br \/>\nAdministrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as<br \/>\na third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. The Person serving as the<br \/>\nAdministrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its<br \/>\ncapacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it<br \/>\nwere not the Administrative Agent and the term &#8220;Lender&#8221; or &#8220;Lenders&#8221; shall,<br \/>\nunless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires,<br \/>\ninclude the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its<br \/>\nindividual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from,<br \/>\nlend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or<br \/>\nany Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative<br \/>\nAgent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. The<br \/>\nAdministrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those<br \/>\nexpressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the<br \/>\ngenerality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (a) shall not be subject<br \/>\nto any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has<br \/>\noccurred and is continuing, (b) shall not have any duty to take any<br \/>\ndiscretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary<br \/>\nrights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents<br \/>\nthat the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by<br \/>\nthe Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall<br \/>\nbe necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.2 or in the other<br \/>\nLoan Documents), and (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in<br \/>\nthe other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for<br \/>\nthe failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its<br \/>\nAffiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as<br \/>\nAdministrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The<br \/>\nAdministrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it<br \/>\n(i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other<br \/>\nnumber or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the<br \/>\ncircumstances as provided in Section 9.2) or (ii) in the absence of its own<br \/>\ngross negligence or willful misconduct. The<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">49<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default<br \/>\nunless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by<br \/>\nthe Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible<br \/>\nfor or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or<br \/>\nrepresentation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan<br \/>\nDocument, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document<br \/>\ndelivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or<br \/>\nobservance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set<br \/>\nforth herein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity,<br \/>\nenforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan<br \/>\nDocument or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction<br \/>\nof any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to<br \/>\nconfirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the<br \/>\nAdministrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement<br \/>\nmade to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper<br \/>\nPerson, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining<br \/>\ncompliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its<br \/>\nterms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative<br \/>\nAgent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the<br \/>\nAdministrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender<br \/>\nprior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with<br \/>\nlegal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and<br \/>\nother experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or<br \/>\nnot taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants<br \/>\nor experts.

If no successor<br \/>\nshall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted<br \/>\nsuch appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives<br \/>\nnotice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf<br \/>\nof the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the<br \/>\nqualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall<br \/>\nnotify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such<br \/>\nappointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">50<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall<br \/>\nbe discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan<br \/>\nDocuments and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be<br \/>\nmade by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to<br \/>\neach Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a<br \/>\nsuccessor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Article. Upon the<br \/>\nacceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor,<br \/>\nsuch successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,<br \/>\nprivileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the<br \/>\nretiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and<br \/>\nobligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already<br \/>\ndischarged therefrom as provided above in this Article). The fees payable by the<br \/>\nBorrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable<br \/>\nto its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such<br \/>\nsuccessor. After the Administrative Agent153s resignation hereunder, the<br \/>\nprovisions of this Article and Section 9.3 shall continue in effect for the<br \/>\nbenefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their<br \/>\nrespective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be<br \/>\ntaken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent. Each Lender<br \/>\nacknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the<br \/>\nAdministrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and<br \/>\nbased on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its<br \/>\nown credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also<br \/>\nacknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the<br \/>\nAdministrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and<br \/>\nbased on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem<br \/>\nappropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action<br \/>\nunder or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related<br \/>\nagreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Anything herein to<br \/>\nthe contrary notwithstanding, none of the Arrangers or agents listed on the<br \/>\ncover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this<br \/>\nAgreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as<br \/>\napplicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required<br \/>\nLenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent153s authority to release<br \/>\nany Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this<br \/>\nparagraph. <strong>ARTICLE IX<\/strong> <strong>MISCELLANEOUS<\/strong> Section<br \/>\n9.1 Notices.
