Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 9, 2011, Hyatt Hotels Corporation, as Borrower (“ Hyatt ”), certain subsidiaries of Hyatt (the “ Guarantors ”), various Lenders, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, Bank of America, N.A., as Syndication Agent, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as Joint Book Runners, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc., as Co-Lead Arrangers, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc., and Suntrust Bank, as Co-Documentation Agents, entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “ Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ”). The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for a $1.5 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “ Credit Facility ”) that matures on September 9, 2016.
The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amends and restates that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2005, by and among Hyatt, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, The Royal Bank of Scotland, plc, as syndication agent and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Bank of America, N.A., Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc., and BNP Paribas, as co-documentation agents, and provides for revolving loans and the issuance of standby letters of credit to Hyatt of up to $300 million in United States dollars and multicurrency loans of up to $250 million in Euros, Japanese Yen and British Pounds Sterling. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, Hyatt has the option during the term of the Credit Facility to increase the Credit Facility by an aggregate amount of up to an additional $500,000,000 (provided, among other things, new or existing lenders agree to provide commitments for this increased amount).
Hyatt may prepay the outstanding aggregate principal amount, in whole or in part, at any time, subject to certain restrictions and upon notice to the Administrative Agent. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and related documents contain customary affirmative, negative, and financial covenants, representations and warranties, and default provisions.
The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement has been included as an exhibit to this filing to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms and is not intended to provide any other factual information about Hyatt. The representations and warranties in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement were made only for the purposes of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as of a specified date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what might be viewed as material to stockholders, or may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties. Accordingly, the representations and warranties in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are not necessarily characterizations of the actual state of facts concerning Hyatt at the time they were made or otherwise and should only be read in conjunction with the other information that Hyatt makes publicly available in reports, statements and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The information included in Item 1.01 of this report is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

Each Lender upon issuance of a Letter of Credit (or, in the case of the Existing Letters of Credit, upon the Closing Date) shall be deemed to have purchased without recourse a risk participation from the applicable Issuing Lender in such Letter of Credit and the obligations arising thereunder and any collateral relating thereto, in each case in an amount equal to its LOC Commitment Percentage of the obligations under such Letter of Credit and shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as surety, and be obligated to pay to the Issuing Lender therefor and discharge when due, its LOC Commitment Percentage of the obligations arising under such Letter of Credit. Without limiting the scope and nature of each Lender’s participation in any Letter of Credit, to the extent that the Issuing Lender of such Letter of Credit has not been reimbursed as required hereunder or under any LOC Document, each such Lender shall pay to such Issuing Lender its LOC Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed drawing in same day funds on the day of notification by such Issuing Lender of an unreimbursed drawing pursuant to the provisions of subsection (d) hereof. The obligation of each Lender to so reimburse an Issuing Lender shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by the occurrence of a Default, an Event of Default or any other occurrence or event. Any such reimbursement shall not relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as hereinafter provided.
(d) Reimbursement . In the event of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. The Borrower shall reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender on the day of drawing under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender in (x) the applicable Foreign Currency of the relevant
 
- 38 -

Letter of Credit with respect to which the drawing was made to the extent directly reimbursed by the Borrower or (y) in Dollars to the extent funded with the proceeds of a Revolving Loan obtained hereunder or otherwise and, in each case, in same day funds as provided herein or in the LOC Documents. If the Borrower shall fail to reimburse an Issuing Lender as provided herein, the unreimbursed amount of such drawing shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Percentage plus two percent (2%). Unless the Borrower shall immediately notify the applicable Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent of its intent to otherwise reimburse such Issuing Lender, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Loan borrowing comprised entirely of Alternate Base Rate Loans in the amount of the drawing as provided in subsection (e) hereof, the proceeds of which will be used to satisfy the reimbursement obligations. The Borrower’s reimbursement obligations hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under all circumstances irrespective of any rights of set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment the Borrower may claim or have against any Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit drawn upon or any other Person, including without limitation any defense based on any failure of the Borrower to receive consideration or the legality, validity, regularity or unenforceability of the Letter of Credit. Each Issuing Lender will promptly notify the Lenders of the amount of any unreimbursed drawing in respect of any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender and each Lender shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender in Dollars and in immediately available funds, the amount of such Lender’s LOC Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed drawing. Such payment shall be made on the day such notice is received by such Lender from such Issuing Lender if such notice is received at or before 2:00 P.M., otherwise such payment shall be made at or before 12:00 noon on the Business Day next succeeding the day such notice is received. If such Lender does not pay such amount to such Issuing Lender in full upon such request, such Lender shall, on demand, pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender interest on the unpaid amount during the period from the date of such drawing until such Lender pays such amount to such Issuing Lender in full at a rate per annum equal to, if paid within two (2) Business Days of the date of drawing, the Federal Funds Rate and thereafter at a rate equal to the Alternate Base Rate. Each Lender’s obligation to make such payment to an Issuing Lender, and the right of an Issuing Lender to receive the same, shall be absolute and unconditional, shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever and without regard to the termination of this Credit Agreement or the Commitments hereunder, the existence of a Default or Event of Default or the acceleration of the Credit Party Obligations hereunder and shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
(e) Repayment with Loans . On any day on which the Borrower shall have requested, or been deemed to have requested a Revolving Loan to reimburse a drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Lenders that a Revolving Loan has been requested or deemed requested in connection with a drawing under a Letter of Credit, in which case a Revolving Loan borrowing comprised entirely of Alternate Base Rate Loans (each such borrowing, a “ Mandatory Borrowing ”) shall be immediately made (without giving effect to any termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 7.2) pro rata based on each Lender’s respective Commitment Percentage (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 7.2) and the proceeds thereof shall be paid directly to the applicable Issuing Lender for application to the respective LOC Obligations. Each Lender
 
- 39 -

hereby irrevocably agrees to make such Revolving Loans immediately upon any such request or deemed request on account of each Mandatory Borrowing in the Dollar Amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the same such date notwithstanding (i) the amount of Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for borrowings of Loans otherwise required hereunder, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Section 4.2 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (iv) failure for any such request or deemed request for a Revolving Loan to be made by the time otherwise required in Section 2.1(b)(i), (v) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing, or (vi) any reduction in the Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount after any such Letter of Credit may have been drawn upon. In the event that any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code), then each such Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith fund (as of the date the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from the Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) its Participation Interests in the LOC Obligations; provided , further , that in the event any Lender shall fail to fund its Participation Interest on the day the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, then the amount of such Lender’s unfunded Participation Interest therein shall bear interest payable by such Lender to the Issuing Lender upon demand, at the rate equal to, if paid within two (2) Business Days of such date, the Federal Funds Rate, and thereafter at a rate equal to the Alternate Base Rate.
(f) Modification, Extension . The issuance of any supplement, modification, amendment, renewal, or extension to any Letter of Credit shall, for purposes hereof, be treated in all respects the same as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit hereunder.
(g) Letter of Credit Governing Law . Unless otherwise expressly agreed by an Issuing Lender and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each Letter of Credit.
(h) Reimbursement Payments . All payments made to an Issuing Lender to reimburse such Issuing Lender for any drawing under a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender from (x) the Borrower, shall be made in the applicable Foreign Currency of the relevant Letter of Credit with respect to which the drawing was made or (y) the Lenders, shall be made in Dollars (based upon the Dollar Amount of the applicable payment); provided that in each case the Borrower shall be liable for any currency exchange loss related to such payments and, absent demonstrable error, shall promptly pay the applicable Issuing Lender, upon receipt of notice thereof, the amount of any such loss.
(i) Conflict with LOC Documents . In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and any LOC Documents, the terms hereof shall control.
(j) Domestic and Discretionary Issuing Lenders . In addition to those Lenders specified in Section 2.4(a) hereof, any Lender with a Revolving Commitment (in such capacity, a “ Domestic Issuing Lender ”) may from time to time, at the written request of the Borrower (with
 
- 40 -

a copy to the Administrative Agent) and with the consent of the Administrative Agent, and in such Lender’s sole discretion, agree to issue one or more Domestic Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower on the same terms and conditions in all respects as are applicable to the Letters of Credit issued by the other Issuing Lenders hereunder by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a written agreement to such effect, among (and in form and substance satisfactory to) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Domestic Issuing Lender. Any Lender with a Revolving Commitment (in such capacity, a “ Discretionary Issuing Lender ”) may from time to time, at the written request of the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and with the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and in such Lender’s sole discretion, agree to issue one or more Foreign Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower on the same terms and conditions in all respects as are applicable to the Letters of Credit issued by the other Issuing Lenders hereunder by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a written agreement to such effect, among (and in form and substance satisfactory to) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Discretionary Issuing Lender. With respect to each of the Letters of Credit issued (or to be issued) thereby, each of the Issuing Lenders shall have all of the same rights and obligations under and in respect of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and shall be entitled to all of the same benefits (including, without limitation, the rights, obligations and benefits set forth in Sections 2.4, 2.19 and 10.5), as are afforded to all of the Issuing Lenders hereunder and thereunder. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each of the Lenders with a Revolving Commitment of the appointment of any Issuing Lender after the Closing Date. Each Issuing Lender shall provide to the Administrative Agent, on a monthly basis, a report that details the activity with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender (including an indication of the maximum amount then in effect with respect to each such Letter of Credit).
 
 	2.5	Additional Loans .	
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall have the right during the period from the Closing Date until the date one Business Day prior to the Maturity Date, to incur additional Indebtedness (the “ Additional Loans ”) under this Credit Agreement in the form of one or more increases to the Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount by an aggregate amount of up to $500,000,000. The following terms and conditions shall apply to all Additional Loans: (a) the loans made under any such Additional Loan shall constitute Credit Party Obligations, (b) such Additional Loan shall have the same terms (including interest rate) as the existing Loans, (c) any such Additional Loan shall be entitled to the same voting rights as the existing Loans and shall be entitled to receive proceeds of prepayments on the same basis as comparable Loans, (d) any such Additional Loan shall be obtained from existing Lenders or from other banks, financial institutions or investment funds, in each case in accordance with the terms set forth below, (e) such Additional Loan shall be in a minimum principal Dollar Amount (determined as of the most recent Revaluation Date) of $50,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof, (f) the proceeds of any Additional Loan will be used in accordance with Section 3.13, (g) the Borrower shall execute such promissory notes as are necessary and requested by the Lenders to reflect the Additional Loans and (h) the conditions to Extensions of Credit in Section 4.2 shall have been satisfied. The Borrower may invite existing Lenders or other banks, financial institutions and investment funds that are not Lenders and that are
 
- 41 -

reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and that would satisfy the same criteria that would be required for such bank, financial institution or investment fund to be an “Eligible Assignee” to join this Credit Agreement as Lenders to provide any Additional Loans, provided (i) no existing Lender shall have any obligation to provide all or any portion of any such Additional Loan and (ii) such other banks, financial institutions and investment funds that are not existing Lenders shall enter into such joinder agreements to give effect thereto as the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may reasonably request and shall thereafter be deemed to be Lenders. The existing Lenders shall make such assignments (which assignments shall not be subject to the requirements set forth in Sections 10.6(c) or 10.6(e)) of the outstanding Loans (excluding Competitive Loans) and Participation Interests to the Lenders providing any Additional Loan so that, after giving effect to such assignments, each Lender (including the Lenders providing the Additional Loans) will hold Loans and Participation Interests equal to its Commitment Percentage of all outstanding Loans and LOC Obligations (and accordingly the Borrower shall pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.17). The Administrative Agent is authorized to enter into, on behalf of the Lenders, any amendment to this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document consistent with this Section 2.5 as may be necessary to incorporate the terms of any Additional Loan.
 
 	2.6	Default Rate .	
Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default, the overdue principal of and, to the extent permitted by law, interest on the Loans, LOC Obligations and any other amounts owing hereunder, under the other Credit Documents or under the Fee Letter shall, upon the election of the Required Lenders (except with respect to an Event of Default occurring under Section 7.1(e), in which case such interest rate increase shall be immediate) bear interest, payable on demand, at a per annum rate 2% greater than the interest rate which would otherwise be applicable (or if no rate is applicable, whether in respect of interest, fees or other amounts, then 2% greater than the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Percentage).
 
 	2.7	Extension and Conversion .	
The Borrower shall have the option, on any Business Day, to extend existing Loans into a subsequent permissible Interest Period or to convert Loans into Loans of another Type; provided , however , that (a) except as expressly provided otherwise in this Credit Agreement, LIBOR Rate Loans may be converted into Alternate Base Rate Loans only on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (b) LIBOR Rate Loans may be extended, and Alternate Base Rate Loans may be converted into LIBOR Rate Loans, only so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists or would otherwise result therefrom, and (c) Loans extended as, or converted into, LIBOR Rate Loans shall be subject to the terms of the definition of “ Interest Period ” set forth in Section 1.1 and shall be in such minimum amounts as provided in Section 2.1(b)(ii). Any request for extension or conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan which shall fail to specify an Interest Period shall be deemed to be a request for an Interest Period of one month. Each such extension or conversion shall be effected by the Borrower by giving a Notice of Extension/Conversion (or telephone notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 A.M. on the Business Day of, in the case of the conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan into a Alternate Base Rate Loan, and on the third Business Day prior to, in the case of the extension of a LIBOR
 
- 42 -

Rate Loan as, or conversion of a Alternate Base Rate Loan into, a LIBOR Rate Loan, the date of the proposed extension or conversion, specifying (i) the date of the proposed extension or conversion, (ii) the Loans to be so extended or converted, (iii) the Types of Loans into which such Loans are to be converted and, if appropriate and (iv) the applicable Interest Periods with respect thereto. Each request for extension or conversion shall be irrevocable and shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower of the matters specified in Section 4.2 (b) and (c). In the event the Borrower fails to request extension or conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan in accordance with this Section, or any such conversion or extension is not permitted or required by this Section, then such LIBOR Rate Loan shall be converted to an Alternate Base Rate Loan at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender notice as promptly as practicable of any such proposed extension or conversion affecting any Loan.
Unless otherwise agreed to by the Required Lenders, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, all Foreign Currency Loans then outstanding shall be redenominated into Dollars (based on the Dollar Amount of such Foreign Currency Loans on the date of redenomination) on the last day of the then current Interest Periods of such Foreign Currency Loans; provided that in each case the Borrower shall be liable for any currency exchange loss related to such payments and shall promptly pay the Lenders upon receipt of notice thereof the amount of any such loss.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments . If at any time, the aggregate principal Dollar Amount (determined as of the most recent Revaluation Date) of outstanding Revolving Loans plus Swingline Loans plus LOC Obligations plus Competitive Loans shall exceed the Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount, the Borrower shall immediately (or, if such excess is solely due to a currency fluctuation, within two Business Days) make payment on the Loans and/or cash collateralize the LOC Obligations in an amount sufficient to eliminate the deficiency.
(c) Application . Unless otherwise specified by the Borrower, voluntary repayments and mandatory prepayments made hereunder shall be applied first to Alternate Base Rate Loans, then to LIBOR Rate Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities, second to Competitive
 
- 43 -

Loans in direct order of Interest Period Maturities and third (after all Loans have been repaid) to a cash collateral account in respect of LOC Obligations. Amounts repaid on the Swingline Loan and the Revolving Loans may be reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof.
(d) Hedging Obligations Unaffected . Any repayment or prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall not affect the Borrower’s obligation to continue to make payments under any Hedging Agreement with a Hedging Agreement Provider, which shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding such repayment or prepayment, subject to the terms of such Hedging Agreement.
 
 	2.9	Termination and Reduction of Commitments

The Commitments may be terminated or permanently reduced by the Borrower in whole or in part upon three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent; provided that (i) after giving effect to any voluntary reduction, the aggregate principal Dollar Amount (determined as of the most recent Revaluation Date) of Loans plus LOC Obligations outstanding shall not exceed the Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount, as reduced, and (ii) partial reductions shall be in minimum principal Dollar Amounts (determined as of the most recent Revaluation Date) of $5,000,000, and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided that no such reduction or termination shall be permitted if after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans made on the effective date thereof, the sum of the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans plus Swingline Loans plus LOC Obligations plus Competitive Loans would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount.
(b) Mandatory Reduction . The Revolving Commitments, the LOC Commitments and the Swingline Commitment shall automatically terminate on the Maturity Date.
 
 	2.10	Fees .	
(a) Facility Fee . The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders holding Commitments, a facility fee (the “ Facility Fee ”) equal to the Applicable Percentage per annum times the actual daily amount of Aggregate Revolving Committed Amount (or, if the Commitments have terminated, on the outstanding amount of all Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and LOC Obligations), regardless of usage. The Facility Fee shall accrue at all times during the Commitment Period (and thereafter so long as any Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans or LOC Obligations remain outstanding), including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Section 4 is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day following the last day of each calendar quarter for the prior calendar quarter, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date (and, if applicable, thereafter on demand). The Facility Fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Percentage during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Percentage separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Percentage was in effect.
 
- 44 -

(b) Letter of Credit Fee . In consideration of the LOC Commitments, the Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuing Lender a fee in Dollars (the “ Letter of Credit Fee ”) equal to the Applicable Percentage per annum on the average daily maximum Dollar Amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender from the date of issuance to the date of expiration or termination. The Issuing Lender shall promptly pay over to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders (including the Issuing Lender) the Letter of Credit Fee. The Letter of Credit Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day following the last day of each calendar quarter for the prior calendar quarter.
(c) Issuing Lender Fees . In addition to the Letter of Credit Fees payable pursuant to subsection (b) above, the Borrower shall pay to each Issuing Lender for its own account without sharing by the other Lenders (i) a fronting fee of one-tenth of one percent (0.10%) per annum on the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender and (ii) the reasonable and customary charges from time to time of an Issuing Lender with respect to the amendment, transfer, administration, cancellation and conversion of, and drawings under, such Letters of Credit (collectively, the “ Issuing Lender Fees ”) The Issuing Lender Fees shall be payable to the respective Issuing Lenders quarterly in arrears on the 15th day following the last day of each calendar quarter for the prior calendar quarter.
(d) Administrative Agent’s Fee . The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the annual administrative agent fee as described in the Fee Letter.
 
 	2.11	Computation of Interest and Fees .	
(a) Interest payable hereunder with respect to Alternate Base Rate Loans based on the Prime Rate and with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in Pounds Sterling shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days, as applicable) for the actual days elapsed. All other fees, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the Lenders of each determination of a LIBOR Rate on the Business Day of the determination thereof. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Alternate Base Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change in the Alternate Base Rate shall become effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change.
(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Credit Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the computations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate.
(c) The parties understand that the Applicable Percentage may be determined and/or adjusted from time to time based upon certain financial ratios and/or other information to be provided or certified to the Lenders by the Borrower (the “Borrower Information”). If it is
 
- 45 -

subsequently determined that any such Borrower Information was incorrect (for whatever reason, including without limitation because of a subsequent restatement of earnings by the Borrower) at the time it was delivered to the Administrative Agent, and if the applicable interest rate or fees calculated for any period were lower than they should have been had the correct information been timely provided, then, such interest rate and such fees for such period shall be automatically recalculated using correct Borrower Information. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing of any additional interest and fees due because of such recalculation, and the Borrower shall pay such additional interest or fees due to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, within 5 Business Days of receipt of such written notice. Any recalculation of interest or fees required by this provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and this provision shall not in any way limit any of the Administrative Agent’s, any Issuing Lender’s or any Lender’s other rights under this Agreement.
 
 	2.12	Pro Rata Treatment and Payments .	
(a) Each borrowing of Loans and any reduction of the Commitments shall be made pro rata according to the respective Commitment Percentages of the Lenders in the currency in which such amount is denominated and in such funds as are customary at the place and time of payment for the settlement of international payments in such currency. Without limiting the terms of the preceding sentence, accrued interest on any Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency shall be payable in such Foreign Currency. Each payment under this Credit Agreement or any Note shall be applied (i)  first , to any Fees then due and owing, (ii)  second , to interest then due and owing in respect of the Loans (whether or not evidenced by Notes) of the Borrower and (iii)  third , to principal then due and owing hereunder and under the Loans (whether or not evidenced by Notes) of the Borrower. Each payment on account of the Facility Fees and the Letter of Credit Fees shall be made pro rata in accordance with the respective amounts due and owing. Each payment (other than voluntary repayments and mandatory prepayments) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective amounts due and owing hereunder in the currency in which such amount is denominated and in such funds as are customary at the place and time of payment for the settlement of international payments in such currency. Without limiting the terms of the preceding sentence, accrued interest on any Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency shall be payable in the same Foreign Currency as such Loan. Each voluntary repayment and mandatory prepayment on account of principal of the Loans shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.8. The obligation of the Borrower to make each payment on account of such amount in the currency in which such amount is denominated shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment, which is expressed in or converted into any other currency, except to the extent such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt by the Administrative Agent of the full amount in the appropriate currency payable hereunder. With respect to Competitive Loans, if the Borrower fails to specify the particular Competitive Loan or Loans as to which any payment or other amount should be applied and it is not otherwise clear as to the particular Competitive Loan or Loans to which such payment or other amounts relate, or any such payment or other amount is to be applied to Competitive Loans without regard to any such direction by the Borrower, then each payment or prepayment of principal on Competitive Loans and each payment of interest or other amount on or in respect of Competitive Loans, shall be allocated pro rata among the relevant Competitive Loan Lenders in accordance with the then outstanding
 
- 46 -

amounts of their respective Competitive Loans. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower on account of principal, interest and fees shall be made without defense, set-off or counterclaim (except as provided in Section 2.18(b)) and shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders at the Administrative Agent’s Office specified in Section 10.2 and (i) in the case of Loans or other amounts denominated in Dollars, shall be made in Dollars not later than 1:00 P.M. on the date when due and (ii) in the case of Loans or other amounts denominated in a Foreign Currency, unless otherwise specified herein, shall be made in such Foreign Currency not later than the Applicable Time specified by the Administrative Agent on the date when due. Any payment received after the foregoing deadlines shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders entitled thereto promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the LIBOR Rate Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment on a LIBOR Rate Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.
(b) Allocation of Payments After Event of Default . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Credit Agreement to the contrary, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts collected or received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender on account of the Credit Party Obligations or any other amounts outstanding under any of the Credit Documents shall be paid over or delivered as follows:
FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees of one outside counsel) of the Administrative Agent in connection with enforcing the rights of the Lenders under the Credit Documents;
SECOND, to payment of any fees owed to the Administrative Agent;
THIRD, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees of one outside counsel (absent dissension among the Lenders or the Administrative Agent and the Lenders)) of each of the Lenders in connection with enforcing its rights under the Credit Documents or otherwise with respect to the Credit Party Obligations owing to such Lender;
FOURTH, to the payment of all of the Credit Party Obligations consisting of accrued fees and interest in respect of Swingline Loans;
FIFTH, to the payment of all of the other Credit Party Obligations consisting of accrued fees and interest (including, without limitation, accrued fees and interest arising under any Hedging Agreement with a Hedging Agreement Provider);

SEVENTH, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the other Credit Party Obligations (including, without limitation, the payment or cash collateralization of the outstanding LOC Obligations, and including with respect to any Hedging Agreement with a Hedging Agreement Provider, any breakage, termination or other payments due under such Hedging Agreement with a Hedging Agreement Provider and any interest accrued thereon);
EIGHTH, to all other Credit Party Obligations and other obligations which shall have become due and payable under the Credit Documents or otherwise and not repaid pursuant to clauses “FIRST” through “SEVENTH” above; and
NINTH, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.
In carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next succeeding category and (ii) each of the Lenders and/or Hedging Agreement Providers shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on the proportion that the then outstanding Loans and LOC Obligations held by such Lender or the outstanding obligations payable to such Hedging Agreement Provider bears to the aggregate then outstanding Loans, LOC Obligations and obligations payable under all Hedging Agreements with a Hedging Agreement Provider) of amounts available to be applied pursuant to clauses “THIRD”, “FIFTH”, “SEVENTH” and “EIGHTH” above.
 
 	2.13	Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent .	
(a) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by a Lender prior to the date a LIBOR Rate Loan is to be made (or prior to 2:00 p.m. in the case of an Alternate Base Rate Loan) by such Lender (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that such Lender does not intend to make the proceeds of such Loan available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such proceeds available to the Administrative Agent on such date, and the Administrative Agent may in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to) make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall be able to recover such corresponding amount from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent and any such payment by the Borrower shall not constitute a waiver of any right or remedy the Borrower may have with respect to any such Lender. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from the Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding

amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent at a per annum rate equal to (i) from the Borrower at the applicable rate for the applicable borrowing pursuant to the Notice of Borrowing and (ii) from a Lender at the Federal Funds Rate.
(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower, prior to the date on which any payment is due from it hereunder (which notice shall be effective upon receipt) that the Borrower does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment when due, and the Administrative Agent may in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to) make available to each Lender on such payment date an amount equal to the portion of such assumed payment to which such Lender is entitled hereunder, and if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, such Lender shall, on demand, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount made available to such Lender. If such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent on a date after the date such amount was made available to such Lender, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand interest on such amount in respect of each day from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent at a per annum rate equal to, if repaid to the Administrative Agent within two (2) days from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent, the Federal Funds Rate and thereafter at a rate equal to the Alternate Base Rate.
(c) A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to the Borrower or any Lender with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.13 shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
 
 	2.14	Inability to Determine Interest Rate .	
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Credit Agreement, if (a) the Administrative Agent shall reasonably determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period, or (b) the Required Lenders shall reasonably determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the LIBOR Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding LIBOR Rate Loans that the Borrower has requested be outstanding as a LIBOR tranche during such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give telephone notice of such determination, confirmed in writing, to the Borrower, and the Lenders at least two Business Days prior to the first day of such Interest Period. If such notice is given (a) any Foreign Currency Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made, at the sole option of the Borrower, in Dollars as Alternate Base Rate Loans or such request shall be cancelled, (b) any affected Foreign Currency Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to or continued as LIBOR Rate Loans shall be converted to or continued, at the sole option of the Borrower, as Alternate Base Rate Loans, (c) any affected LIBOR Rate Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made, at the sole option of the Borrower, in Dollars as Alternate Base Rate Loans and (d) any affected Loans that were requested to be converted into or continued as LIBOR Rate Loans shall remain as or be converted into Alternate Base Rate Loans. Until any such notice has
 
- 49 -

been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Loans shall be made as, continued as, or converted into, LIBOR Rate Loans for the Interest Periods so affected.
 
 	2.15	Illegality .	
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Credit Agreement, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for such Lender or its U.S. LIBOR Lending Office or Foreign Currency Lending Office to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans as contemplated by this Credit Agreement or to obtain in the interbank eurodollar market through its U.S. LIBOR Lending Office or Foreign Currency Lending Office the funds with which to make such Loans, (a) such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower thereof, (b) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make LIBOR Rate Loans or continue LIBOR Rate Loans as such shall forthwith be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall give notice that the condition or situation which gave rise to the suspension shall no longer exist, and (c) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as LIBOR Rate Loans, if any, shall be converted on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law to Alternate Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars. The Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay any Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for actual and direct costs (but not including anticipated profits) reasonably incurred by such Lender including, but not limited to, any interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its LIBOR Rate Loans hereunder. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (including reasonable efforts to change its LIBOR Lending Office) to avoid or to minimize any amounts which may otherwise be payable pursuant to this Section; provided , however , that such efforts shall not cause the imposition on such Lender of any additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens deemed by such Lender in its sole discretion to be material. Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (including reasonable efforts to change its U.S. LIBOR Lending Office or Foreign Currency LIBOR Lending Office) to avoid or to minimize any amounts which may otherwise be payable pursuant to this Section; provided , however , that such efforts shall not cause the imposition on such Lender of any additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens deemed by such Lender in its sole discretion to be material.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Credit Agreement, if there shall have occurred any change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions (including the imposition of or any change in exchange controls) or currency exchange rates which would make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to make Loans denominated in an applicable Foreign Currency to the Borrower, as contemplated by this Credit Agreement, (i) such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower thereof, (ii) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make such Foreign Currency Loans shall forthwith be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall give notice that the condition or situation which gave rise to the suspension shall no longer exist, and (iii) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as such Foreign Currency Loans, if any, shall be, at the sole option of the Borrower, on the last day of the Interest Period for such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law, (A) converted to Alternate Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars or (B) prepaid. The
 
- 50 -

Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay any such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate the Lender for actual and direct costs (but not including anticipated profits) reasonably incurred by such Lender in making any repayment in accordance with this Section, attributable to the amount of any interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its applicable Foreign Currency Loans hereunder, as provided in Section 2.16. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by the affected Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts to avoid or to minimize any amounts which may otherwise be payable pursuant to this Section; provided , however , that such efforts shall not cause the imposition on such Lender of any additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens deemed by such Lender in its sole discretion to be material.
 
 	2.16	Requirements of Law .	
(a) If any Change in Law made subsequent to the date hereof, or in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Credit Agreement, made subsequent to the date of such assignment or transfer (except to the extent the assigning or transferring Lender was entitled to benefits under this Section 2.16):
(i) shall subject such Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for changes in the rate of tax on the net income of such Lender or tax imposed in lieu of net income taxes);
(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 which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR 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 (taking into account all available tax credits, tax deductions or other tax benefits) of making or maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder or under any Note, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which such Lender reasonably deems to be material as determined by such Lender with respect to its LIBOR Rate Loans. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be presumptive evidence of such additional amount in the absence of manifest error. Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (including reasonable efforts to change its Applicable Lending Office) to avoid or to minimize any amounts which might otherwise be payable pursuant to this paragraph of this Section; provided , however , that such efforts shall not cause the imposition on
 
- 51 -

such Lender of any additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens deemed by such Lender in its sole discretion to be material.
(b) If any Lender shall have reasonably determined that any Change in 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 central bank or Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof does or 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 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 reasonably deemed by such Lender in its sole discretion to be material, then from time to time, within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount as shall be certified by such Lender as being required to compensate it for such reduction. Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable under this Section submitted by a Lender (which certificate shall include a description of the basis for the computation), through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be presumptive evidence of such additional amount in the absence of manifest error.
(c) The agreements in this Section 2.16 shall survive the termination of this Credit Agreement and payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be obligated to make payment to a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.16 in respect of increased costs or a reduction in the rate of return, if (i) written demand therefor has not been made by such Lender within 180 days from the date on which such Lender determined that any Change in Law has resulted in such increased cost or reduction in rate of return; provided that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period shall be extended to include the retroactive effect thereof or (ii) such increased cost or reduction in rate of return is attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender. No Lender shall request that the Borrower pay any additional amount pursuant to this Section 2.16 unless it shall concurrently make similar requests to other borrowers similarly situated and affected by such Change in Law.
 
 	2.17	Indemnity .	
The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold such Lender harmless from any actual funding loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in payment of the principal amount of or interest on any Loan by such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, (b) default by the Borrower in accepting a borrowing after the Borrower has given a notice in accordance with the terms hereof, (c) default by the Borrower in making any repayment, prepayment, continuation or conversion after the Borrower has given a notice in accordance with the terms hereof, and/or (d) the making by the Borrower of a repayment or prepayment of a Loan, or the conversion thereof, on a day which is not the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto, in each case including, but
 
- 52 -

not limited to, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain its Loans hereunder, but excluding lost profits. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower (which certificate must be delivered to the Administrative Agent within thirty days following such default, repayment, prepayment or conversion or no such amount shall be owing) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The agreements in this Section 2.17 shall survive termination of this Credit Agreement and payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
 
 	2.18	Taxes .	
(a) All payments made by the Borrower under the Credit Documents will be, except as provided in this Section 2.18, made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any Governmental Authority or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but excluding any tax imposed on or measured by the net income or profits (including any branch profits tax or alternative minimum tax imposed by the United States and any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction) of a Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the 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 such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement)), and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges being referred to collectively as “ Taxes ”). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, the Borrower agrees (i) to deduct or withhold such Taxes and to pay the full amount of such Taxes to the relevant taxing or Government Authority and (ii) except as provided in Section 2.18(b), to pay such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under any Credit Document, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein or in such Note. The Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent as soon as practicable after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies (to the extent reasonably available and required by law) of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, and reimburse such Lender upon its written request, for the amount of any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such Lender except as provided in Section 2.18(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be obligated to make payment to a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.18(a) in respect of penalties, interest and other similar liabilities attributable to any Taxes, if (i) written demand therefor has not been made by such Lender within 180 days from the date on which such Lender received written notice of imposition of Taxes by the relevant taxing or Governmental Authority, but only to the extent such penalties, interest and other similar liabilities are attributable to such failure or delay by the Lender in making such written demand, (ii) such penalties, interest and other similar liabilities have accrued after the Borrower had indemnified or paid an additional amount due pursuant to this Section 2.18(a) or (iii) such penalties, interest and other similar liabilities are attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender. After the Lender receives written notice of the imposition of the Taxes which are subject to this Section 2.18(a), such Lender will
 
- 53 -

act in good faith to promptly notify the Borrower of its obligations hereunder. No Lender shall request that the Borrower pay any Taxes or any gross-up therefor pursuant to this Section 2.18(a) unless it shall make similar requests to other borrowers similarly situated and affected by such Taxes.
(b) Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) (a “ Foreign Lender ”) agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing Date, or in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Credit Agreement pursuant to Section 10.6 (unless the respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or transfer), on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Lender, (i) if the Lender is a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or successor forms) certifying such Lender’s entitlement to a complete or partial exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Credit Agreement and under any Note, or (ii) if the Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI as set forth in clause (i) above with the certification required in such clause (i), or (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Schedule 2.18 (any such certificate, a “ 2.18 Certificate ”) and (y) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 (or successor form) certifying such Lender’s entitlement to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under this Credit Agreement and under any Note. In addition, each Lender agrees that it will deliver upon the Borrower’s request updated versions of the foregoing, as applicable, whenever the previous certification has become obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect (including as a result of a change in the Lender’s Applicable Lending Office), together with such other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender to a continued exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to payments under this Credit Agreement and any Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.18(a), but subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, (x) the Borrower shall be entitled, to the extent it is required to do so by law, to deduct or withhold Taxes imposed by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) from interest, fees or other amounts payable under any Credit Document for the account of any Lender which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes to the extent that such Lender has not provided to the Borrower U.S. Internal Revenue Service Forms that establish a complete exemption from such deduction or withholding and (y) the Borrower shall not be obligated pursuant to Section 2.18(a) hereof to make any additional payments to a Lender or to indemnify any Lender in respect of Taxes imposed by the United States on any payments of interest, fees or other amounts payable under the Credit Documents (I) if such Lender has not provided to the Borrower the Internal Revenue Service Forms required to be provided to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.18(b), (II) to the extent that such Forms do not establish a complete exemption from withholding of such Taxes or (III) if the imposition of such Taxes is the result of a change in the Lender’s Applicable Lending Office, except to the extent that such Lender was entitled to any such additional payments at the time of such change or such change was made at the request of the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding sentence or elsewhere in this Section 2.18, the
 
- 54 -

Borrower agrees to pay additional amounts and to indemnify each Lender in the manner set forth in Section 2.18(a) (without regard to the identity of the jurisdiction requiring the deduction or withholding) in respect of any amounts deducted or withheld by it as described in the immediately preceding sentence as a result of any changes in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation thereof, relating to the deducting or withholding of Taxes that occur after (i) the Closing Date, (ii) in the case of a Lender that changes its Applicable Lending Office, to the extent that such Lender was not entitled to additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.18(a) at the time of a change in its Applicable Lending Office, the date of such change or (iii) in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Credit Agreement other than pursuant to Section 2.20, to the extent that the assigning or transferring Lender was not entitled to additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.18(a) at the time of such assignment or transfer), the date of such assignment or transfer to such Lender.
(c) Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (including reasonable efforts to change its Applicable Lending Office) to avoid or to minimize any amounts which might otherwise be payable pursuant to this Section; provided , however , that such efforts shall not cause the imposition on such Lender of any additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens reasonably deemed by such Lender in its sole discretion to be material.
(d) If the Borrower pays any additional amount pursuant to this Section 2.18 with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to obtain a refund of tax or credit against its tax liabilities on account of such payment; provided that such Lender shall have no obligation to use such reasonable efforts if either (i) it is in an excess foreign tax credit position or (ii) it believes in good faith that claiming a refund or credit would cause adverse tax consequences to it. In the event that such Lender receives such a refund or credit, such Lender shall pay to the Borrower an amount that such Lender reasonably determines is equal to the net tax benefit obtained by such Lender as a result of such payment by the Borrower. In the event that no refund or credit is obtained with respect to the Borrower’s payments to such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.18, then such Lender shall upon request provide a certification that such Lender has not received a refund or credit for such payments. Nothing contained in this Section 2.18 shall require a Lender to disclose or detail the basis of its calculation of the amount of any tax benefit or any other amount or the basis of its determination referred to in the proviso to the first sentence of this Section 2.18(d) to the Borrower or any other party or to make available its tax return or any other information related to its taxes which it deems confidential.
(e) The agreements in this Section 2.18 shall survive the termination of this Credit Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
 
 	2.19	Indemnification; Nature of Issuing Lender’s Duties .	
(a) In addition to its other obligations under Section 2.4, the Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and hold each Issuing Lender harmless from and against any and all actual claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees of one outside counsel (absent dissension among the Issuing Lenders)) that such Issuing Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the
 
- 55 -

issuance by such Issuing Lender of any Letter of Credit, except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender or (ii) the failure of such Issuing Lender to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or governmental authority (all such acts or omissions, herein called “ Government Acts ”).
(b) As between the Borrower and an Issuing Lender, the Borrower shall assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuse of any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender by the beneficiary thereof. No Issuing Lender shall be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, that may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon a Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under a Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; and (vii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Lender, including, without limitation, any Government Acts. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of any Issuing Lender’s rights or powers hereunder.
(c) In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by an Issuing Lender, under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related certificates, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put such Issuing Lender under any resulting liability to the Borrower. It is the intention of the parties that this Credit Agreement shall be construed and applied to protect and indemnify the Issuing Lenders against any and all risks involved in the issuance of the Letters of Credit, all of which risks are hereby assumed by the Borrower, including, without limitation, any and all risks of the acts or omissions, whether rightful or wrongful, of any Government Authority. No Issuing Lender shall, in any way, be liable for any failure by such Issuing Lender or anyone else to pay any drawing under any Letter of Credit as a result of any Government Acts or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of such Issuing Lender.
(d) Nothing in this Section 2.19 is intended to limit the reimbursement obligation of the Borrower contained in Section 2.4 hereof. The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.19 shall survive the termination of this Credit Agreement. No act or omissions of any current or prior beneficiary of a Letter of Credit shall in any way affect or impair the rights of the Issuing Lender thereof to enforce any right, power or benefit under this Credit Agreement.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.19, the Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify any Issuing Lender in respect of any liability
 
- 56 -

incurred by such Issuing Lender arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
 
 	2.20	Replacement of Lenders .	
The Borrower shall be permitted to replace with a financial institution acceptable to the Administrative Agent any Lender (other than the Lender then acting as Administrative Agent) (each a “ Replaced Lender ”) that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 or 2.18(a) or pursuant to an amendment to the Credit Agreement entered into pursuant to 2.23 or (b) is then in default of its obligation to make Loans hereunder; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such Replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (iv) the Borrower shall be liable to such Replaced Lender under Section 2.17 if any LIBOR Loan owing to such Replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (v) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vi) the Replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (vii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 or 2.18(a), as the case may be, (viii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 or 2.18, either such assignment will result in a reduction of such compensation or the replacement Lender shall not have a similar claim for such compensation, and (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the Replaced Lender. In the event any Replaced Lender fails to execute the agreements required under Section 10.6 in connection with an assignment pursuant to this Section 2.20 (after two (2) days notice has been given to such Replaced Lender), such failure will not impair the validity of the removal of such Replaced Lender and the mandatory assignment of such Replaced Lender’s Commitments and outstanding Loans shall nevertheless be effective without the execution by such Replaced Lender of the assignment documents required under Section 10.6 so long as (i) evidence of proof of receipt by such Replaced Lender of such assignment agreement is available and (ii) such Replaced Lender has been paid in full in cash on or prior to the effective date of such replacement. A Lender shall not be required to be replaced if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such replacement cease to apply.

Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this subsection shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(c) Certain Fees .
(i) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Fee payable under Section 2.10(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay to such Defaulting Lender any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).
(ii) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive the fee payable under Section 2.10(b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Commitment Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to the immediately following subsection (e).
(iii) With respect to any Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to the immediately preceding clauses (i) or (ii), the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such Fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in LOC Obligations or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to the immediately following subsection (d), (y) pay to each Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such Fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Lender’s or Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such Fee.

All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in LOC Obligations and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (determined without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 4 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
(e) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans .

(iii) The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lenders, and agree to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of LOC Obligations, to be applied pursuant to the immediately following clause (iv). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lenders as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the aggregate Fronting Exposure of the Issuing Lenders with respect to Letters of Credit issued and outstanding at such time, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).
(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of LOC Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.
(v) Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the Fronting Exposure of the Issuing Lenders shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this subsection following (x) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lenders in accordance with the immediately following subsection (f) or the assignment of such Defaulting Lender’s Loans and Commitment in accordance with Section 10.6), or (y) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to the immediately preceding subsection (b), the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Issuing Lenders may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and provided further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrower, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Credit Documents.

(f) Defaulting Lender Cure . If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lenders agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Revolving Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded Participation Interests in LOC Obligations and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages and LOC Commitment Percentages, as applicable (determined without giving effect to the immediately preceding subsection (d)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided , further , that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan and (ii) no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.
 
 	2.22	Funds Transfer Disbursements .	
(a) Generally . The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of any Loan made by the Lenders or any of their Affiliates pursuant to the Credit Documents as requested by an authorized representative of the Borrower to any of the accounts designated in the Transfer Authorizer Designation Form. The Borrower agrees to be bound by any transfer request: (i) authorized or transmitted by the Borrower; or (ii) made in the Borrower’s name and accepted by the Administrative Agent in good faith and in compliance with these transfer instructions (and absent gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), even if not properly authorized by the Borrower. The Borrower further agrees and acknowledges that, absent gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment, the Administrative Agent may rely solely on any bank routing number or identifying bank account number or name provided by the Borrower to effect a wire or funds transfer even if the information provided by the Borrower identifies a different bank or account holder than named by the Borrower. The Administrative Agent is not obligated or required in any way to take any actions to detect errors in information provided by the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent takes any actions in an attempt to detect errors in the transmission or content of transfer requests or takes any actions in an attempt to detect unauthorized funds transfer requests, the Borrower agrees that no matter how many times the Administrative Agent takes these actions the Administrative Agent will not in any situation be liable for failing to take or correctly perform these actions in the future and such actions shall not become any part of the transfer disbursement procedures authorized under this provision, the Credit Documents, or any

(c) Limitation of Liability . None of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or any Lender shall be liable to the Borrower or any other parties for (i) errors, acts or failures to act of others, including other entities, banks, communications carriers or clearinghouses, through which the Borrower’s transfers may be made or information received or transmitted, and no such entity shall be deemed an agent of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or any Lender, (ii) any loss, liability or delay caused by fires, earthquakes, wars, civil disturbances, power surges or failures, acts of government, labor disputes, failures in communications networks, legal constraints or other events beyond the control of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or any Lender, or (iii) any special, consequential, indirect or punitive damages, and the Borrower and the other Credit Parties shall not be liable to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or any other Lender for any special, consequential, indirect or punitive damages, in each case whether or not (x) any claim for these damages is based on tort or contract or (y) the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender, any Lender or the Borrower knew or should have known the likelihood of these damages in any situation. None of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or any Lender makes any representations or warranties other than those expressly made in this Agreement.

The Foreign Borrower shall not be permitted to borrow Loans on the terms and conditions of this Agreement until the following conditions precedent have been satisfied:
(a) the Administrative Agent shall have received a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent pursuant to which the Foreign Borrower joins this Agreement as a Borrower and becomes a party to any other applicable Credit Document, such agreement to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;
 
- 62 -

(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received on behalf of the Lenders such supporting resolutions, incumbency certificates, opinions of counsel and other documents or information (subject to clause (c) below), in form, content and scope reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as may be reasonably required by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, and Notes executed by the Foreign Borrower to the extent any Lenders so require; and
(c) if the permitting such Foreign Borrower to be a co-borrower hereunder obligates the Administrative Agent or any Lender to comply with “know your customer” or similar identification procedures in circumstances where the necessary information is not already available to it, the Borrower shall, promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, supply such documentation and other evidence as is reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in order for the Administrative Agent or such Lender to carry out and be satisfied it has complied with the results of all necessary “know your customer” or other similar checks under all applicable laws and regulations.

No Foreign Subsidiary shall be permitted to be joined as the Foreign Borrower or a Guarantor hereunder to the extent that either the Administrative Agent or the Company reasonably determines that joining such Foreign Subsidiary as the Foreign Borrower or Guarantor would violate any law applicable to such Foreign Subsidiary, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders (including, without limitation, any applicable laws regarding financial assistance).

Each of the Credit Parties has the corporate power and authority to own or hold under lease the material properties it purports to own or hold under lease, to transact the material business it transacts and proposes to transact, to execute and deliver this Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents and the Fee Letter and to perform the provisions hereof and thereof.
 
 	3.5	Authorization; Power; Enforceable Obligations .	
This Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents and the Fee Letter have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties party thereto, and this Credit Agreement constitutes, and upon execution and delivery thereof each other Credit Document and the Fee Letter will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties party thereto enforceable against the Borrower and any such Credit Party in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(b) Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is in default under any order, judgment, decree or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority or is in violation of any applicable law, ordinance, rule or regulation (including without limitation Environmental Laws) of any Governmental Authority, which default or violation, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 	3.9	Taxes .	
The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have filed all Federal and all other material tax returns (state, local and foreign) that are required to have been filed in any jurisdiction, and have paid all income taxes shown to be due and payable (including interest and penalties) on such returns and all other taxes and assessments due and payable by them (within any grace period provided for such payment), except for any taxes and assessments (a) the amount of which is not individually or in the aggregate Material or (b) the amount, applicability or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, has established adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP.

Each such Subsidiary has the corporate or other power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease and to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact.

SECTION 8 
AGENCY PROVISIONS
 
 	8.1	Appointment and Authorization .	
Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Credit Documents for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Credit Documents, and the exercise by the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. Nothing herein shall be construed to deem the Administrative Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on the Administrative Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms “Agent”, “Administrative Agent”, “agent” and similar terms in the Credit Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable laws. Instead, use of such terms is merely a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender, promptly upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, copies of each of the financial statements, certificates, notices and other documents delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5 that the Borrower is not otherwise required to deliver directly to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy (or, where appropriate, an original) of any document, instrument, agreement, certificate or notice furnished to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, any other Credit Party or any other Affiliate of the Borrower, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document not already delivered or otherwise made available to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Credit Document. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Credit Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of the Credit Party Obligations), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the Credit Party Obligations; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or applicable laws. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may
 
- 85 -

have under any Credit Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless the Required Lenders have directed the Administrative Agent otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders, or where applicable, all the Lenders.
 
 	8.2	Wells Fargo as Lender .	
Wells Fargo, as a Lender or as a Hedging Agreement Provider, as the case may be, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any other Credit Document and under any Hedging Agreement, as the case may be, as any other Lender or Hedging Agreement Provider and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Wells Fargo in each case in its individual capacity. Wells Fargo and its Affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, any other Credit Party or any other Affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the Issuing Lenders, other Lenders, or any other Hedging Agreement Providers. Further, the Administrative Agent and any Affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement or any Hedging Agreement, or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Issuing Lenders, the other Lenders or any other Hedging Agreement Providers. The Issuing Lenders and the Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Wells Fargo or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower, other Credit Parties, other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.
 
 	8.3	Approvals of Lenders .	
All communications from the Administrative Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender’s determination, consent, approval or disapproval (a) shall be given in the form of a written notice to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by such Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials and, as appropriate, a brief summary of all oral information provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved, and (d) shall include the Administrative Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof.
 
 	8.4	Notice of Events of Default .

- 86 -

from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” If any Lender (excluding the Lender which is also serving as the Administrative Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly send to the Administrative Agent such a “notice of default”. Further, if the Administrative Agent receives such a “notice of default,” the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.
 
 	8.5	Administrative Agent’s Reliance .	
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Credit Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein or therein as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for the Borrower or any other Credit Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel: (a) makes any warranty or representation to any Lender, any Issuing Lender or any other Person, or shall be responsible to any Lender, any Issuing Lender or any other Person for any statement, warranty or representation made or deemed made by the Borrower, any other Credit Party or any other Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document; (b) shall have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any Credit Document on the part of the Borrower or other Persons, or to inspect the property, books or records of the Borrower or any other Person; (c) shall be responsible to any Lender or any Issuing Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (d) shall have any liability in respect of any recitals, statements, certifications, representations or warranties contained in any of the Credit Documents or any other document, instrument, agreement, certificate or statement delivered in connection therewith; and (e) shall incur any liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Credit Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under the Credit Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment.
 
- 87 -

 	8.6	Indemnification of Administrative Agent .	
Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Commitment Percentage, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent but not as a Lender) in any way relating to or arising out of the Credit Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment; provided, further, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or all of the Lenders, if expressly required hereunder) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the counsel to the Administrative Agent) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Credit Documents, any suit or action brought by the Administrative Agent to enforce the terms of the Credit Documents and/or collect any Credit Party Obligations, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws. Such out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Administrative Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the Administrative Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Administrative Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Credit Documents and the termination of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to the Administrative Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.
 
 	8.7	Lender Credit Decision, Etc.	
Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, attorneys-in-fact or other Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to such Issuing Lender or such Lender and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including
 
- 88 -

any review of the affairs of the Borrower, any other Credit Party or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Issuing Lender or any Lender. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders acknowledges that it has made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or counsel, and based on the financial statements of the Borrower, the other Credit Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the Borrower, the other Credit Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Persons, its review of the Credit Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrower or any other Credit Party of the Credit Documents or any other document referred to or provided for therein or to inspect the properties or books of, or make any other investigation of, the Borrower, any other Credit Party or any other Subsidiary. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or any Issuing Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, any other Credit Party or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or other Affiliates. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders acknowledges that the Administrative Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Administrative Agent and is not acting as counsel to any Lender or any Issuing Lender.
 
 	8.8	Successor Administrative Agent .	
The Administrative Agent may resign at any time as Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which appointment shall, provided no Event of Default exists, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (except that the Borrower shall, in all events, be deemed to have approved each Lender and any of its Affiliates as a successor Administrative Agent). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the current Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the current Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be an Eligible Assignee. Upon the
 
- 89 -

acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the current Administrative Agent, and the current Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Credit Documents.

 	8.9	Titled Agents .	
Each of the Syndication Agent, Co-Lead Arrangers, Joint Book Runners and Co-Documentation Agents (each a “Titled Agent”) in each such respective capacity, assumes no responsibility or obligation hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of any of the Loans, nor any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders. The titles given to the Titled Agents are solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Titled Agents to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Lender, the Borrower or any other Credit Party and the use of such titles does not impose on the Titled Agents any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender or entitle the Titled Agents to any rights other than those to which any other Lender is entitled.
 
 	8.10	Patriot Act Notice .	
Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any other party) hereby notifies the Borrower that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, Title III of Pub. L. 107-56, signed into law October 26, 2001 (the “ Patriot Act ”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

SECTION 9 
GUARANTY

In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Credit Agreement and any Hedging Agreement Provider to enter into any Hedging Agreement and to extend credit hereunder and thereunder and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by the Guarantors from the Extensions of Credit hereunder and any Hedging Agreement, each of the Guarantors hereby agrees with the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as follows: the Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably jointly and severally guarantees as primary obligor and not merely as surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of any and all Credit Party Obligations owed to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders hereunder and the Hedging Agreement Providers under any Hedging Agreement. If any or all of the Credit Party Obligations become due and payable hereunder or under any Hedging Agreement with a Hedging Agreement Provider, each Guarantor unconditionally promises to pay such Credit Party Obligations to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Hedging Agreement Providers, or their respective order, or demand, together with any and all reasonable expenses which may be incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Hedging Agreement Providers in collecting any of the Credit Party Obligations. As used in this Section 9, Credit Party Obligations shall include all Credit Party Obligations now, or hereafter made, incurred or created, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined, whether or not such Credit Party Obligations are from time to time reduced, or extinguished and thereafter increased or incurred, whether the Borrower and the Guarantors may be liable individually or jointly with others, whether or not recovery upon such Credit Party Obligations may be or hereafter become barred by any statute of limitations, and whether or not such Credit Party Obligations may be or hereafter become otherwise unenforceable. This guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Credit Documents, to the extent the obligations of a Guarantor shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of each such Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable law (including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code or its non-U.S. equivalent).
 
 	9.2	Bankruptcy .	
Additionally, each of the Guarantors unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees jointly and severally the payment of any and all Credit Party Obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders and any Hedging Agreement Provider whether or not due or payable by the Borrower upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 7.1(e) as applicable to the Borrower or any Subsidiaries of the Borrower, and unconditionally promises to pay such Credit Party Obligations to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders and to any such Hedging Agreement Provider, or order, on demand, in lawful money of the United States. Each of the Guarantors further agrees that to the extent that the Borrower or a Guarantor shall make a payment or a
 
- 91 -

transfer of an interest in any property to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Hedging Agreement Provider, which payment or transfer or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, or otherwise is avoided, and/or required to be repaid to the Borrower or a Guarantor, the estate of the Borrower or a Guarantor, a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or other applicable law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such avoidance or repayment, the obligation or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment had not been made.
 
 	9.3	Nature of Liability .	
The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is absolute and unconditional and exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the Credit Party Obligations of the Borrower whether executed by any such Guarantor, any other guarantor or by any other party, and no Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by the Borrower or by any other party, or (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Credit Party Obligations of the Borrower, or (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, or (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by the Borrower, or (e) any payment made to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any Hedging Agreement Provider on the Credit Party Obligations that the Administrative Agent, such Lenders or such Hedging Agreement Provider repay the Borrower pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and each of the Guarantors waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding or (f) any other circumstance (including any statute of limitations) that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, a guarantor or a borrower other than the payment in full of the Credit Party Obligations.
The guaranty under this Section 9 is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Credit Party Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until all Credit Party Obligations and any other amounts payable under this Section 9 are indefeasibly paid in full in cash and any commitments of the Lenders or facilities provided by the Lenders with respect to the Credit Party Obligations are terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or the Guarantors is made, or the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, exercises its right of set-off, in respect of the Credit Party Obligations and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, is in possession of or has released this guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction; provided , however , that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any set-off rights against accounts of any Credit Party under hotel management agreements pursuant to which such Credit Party is acting as agent for a third party with respect to the amounts in such account. The
 
- 92 -

obligations of the Guarantors under the preceding sentence shall survive termination of this Credit Agreement.
 
 	9.4	Independent Obligation .	
The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other guarantor or the Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any other guarantor or the Borrower and whether or not any other Guarantor or the Borrower is joined in any such action or actions.
 
 	9.5	Authorization .	
Each of the Guarantors authorizes the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Hedging Agreement Provider without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable law and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to (a) renew, compromise, extend, increase, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of the Credit Party Obligations or any part thereof in accordance with this Credit Agreement and any Hedging Agreement, as applicable, including any increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon, (b) take and hold security from any Guarantor or any other party for the payment of this Guaranty or the Credit Party Obligations and exchange, enforce waive and release any such security, (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in their discretion may determine and (d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, Guarantors, the Borrower or other obligors.
 
 	9.6	Reliance .	
It is not necessary for the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any Hedging Agreement Providers to inquire into the capacity or powers of the Borrower or the officers, directors, members, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and any indebtedness made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.
 
 	9.7	Waiver .	
(a) Each of the Guarantors waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable law and cannot be waived) to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Hedging Agreement Provider to (i) proceed against the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, or (iii) pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s, any Lender’s or any Hedging Agreement Provider’s power whatsoever. Each of the Guarantors waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party other than payment in full in cash of the Credit Party Obligations, including without limitation any defense based on or arising out of the disability of the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Credit Party Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower other than payment in full

of the Credit Party Obligations. The Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by the Administrative Agent or a Lender by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Administrative Agent and any Lender may have against the Borrower or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Credit Party Obligations have been paid in full. Each of the Guarantors, to the extent permitted by law, waives any defense arising out of any such election by the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the Guarantors against the Borrower or any other party or any security.
(b) Each of the Guarantors waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including without limitation notices of nonperformance, notice of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Credit Party Obligations. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Credit Party Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to it regarding such circumstances or risks.
(c) Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees it will not exercise any rights of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise) to the claims of the Lenders or the Hedging Agreement Provider against the Borrower or any other guarantor of the Credit Party Obligations of the Borrower owing to the Lenders or such Hedging Agreement Provider (collectively, the “ Other Parties ”) and all contractual, statutory or common law rights of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity from any Other Party which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty until such time as the Credit Party Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, no Credit Document or Hedging Agreement with a Hedging Agreement Provider remains in effect and the Commitments have been terminated. Each of the Guarantors hereby further agrees not to exercise any right to enforce any other remedy which the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any Hedging Agreement Provider now have or may hereafter have against any Other Party, any endorser or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Credit Party Obligations of the Borrower and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to or for the benefit of the Lenders and/or the Hedging Agreement Providers to secure payment of the Credit Party Obligations of the Borrower until such time as the Credit Party Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, no Credit Document or Hedging Agreement with a Hedging Agreement Provider remains in effect and the Commitments have been terminated.
 
 	9.8	Limitation on Enforcement .	
The Lenders and the Hedging Agreement Providers agree that this Guaranty may be enforced only by the action of the Administrative Agent acting upon the instructions of the
 
- 94 -

Required Lenders or any such Hedging Agreement Provider (only with respect to obligations under the applicable Hedging Agreement entered into with such Hedging Agreement Provider) and that no Lender or Hedging Agreement Provider shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders under the terms of this Credit Agreement and for the benefit of any Hedging Agreement Provider under any Hedging Agreement provided by such Hedging Agreement Provider. The Lenders and the Hedging Agreement Providers further agree that this Guaranty may not be enforced against any director, officer, employee or stockholder of the Guarantors or any Pritzker Affiliate other than the Guarantors.
 
 	9.9	Confirmation of Payment .	
The Administrative Agent and the Lenders will, upon request after payment of the Credit Party Obligations under the Credit Documents which are the subject of this Guaranty and termination of the Commitments relating thereto, confirm to the Borrower, the Guarantors or any other Person that the Credit Party Obligations under the Credit Documents have been paid in full and the Commitments relating thereto terminated, subject to the provisions of Section 9.2.
 
 	9.10	Guaranty Matters .	
The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.10.
SECTION 10 
MISCELLANEOUS
 
 	10.1	Amendments and Waivers .	
Neither this Credit Agreement, nor any of the other Credit Documents, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented, waived or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section. The Required Lenders may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, from time to time, (a) enter into with the Borrower written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Credit Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Borrower hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided , however , that no such waiver and no such amendment, waiver, supplement, modification or release shall:
 
- 95 -

(i) reduce the amount or extend the scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or Note or any installment thereon, or reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder (except in connection with a waiver of interest at the increased post-default rate) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; or
(ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 10.1 or reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, without the written consent of all the Lenders; or
(iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 9 without the written consent of the then Administrative Agent; or
(iv) release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their obligations under the Guaranty ( provided that (A) the release of less than substantially all of the Guarantors shall solely require the consent of the Required Lenders and (B) no consent of the Lenders shall be required for the release of any Guarantor that ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction not prohibited hereunder provided no Event of Default shall exist or arise as a result of such release) without the written consent of all the Lenders; or
(v) amend, modify or waive any provision of the Credit Documents requiring consent, approval or request of the Required Lenders or all Lenders, without the written consent of the Required Lenders or of all Lenders as appropriate; or
(vi) amend or modify the definition of Credit Party Obligations to delete or exclude any obligation or liability described therein without the written consent of each Lender and each Hedging Agreement Provider directly affected thereby; or
(vii) amend, modify or waive the order in which Credit Party Obligations are paid in Section 2.12(b) without the written consent of each Lender and each Hedging Agreement Provider directly affected thereby;
provided , further , that no amendment, waiver or consent affecting the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender (in such capacity) or the Swingline Lender (in such capacity) under any Credit Document shall in any event be effective, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action.
Any such waiver, any such amendment, supplement or modification and any such release shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Borrower, the Lenders, the other Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Borrower, the other Credit Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the outstanding Loans and Notes and other Credit Documents, and any Default or Event of Default permanently waived
 
- 96 -

shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required for any amendment, modification or waiver of the provisions of Section 8 (other than the provisions of Section 8.9 and any other provision the effect of which is adverse to the Credit Parties); provided , however , that the Administrative Agent will provide written notice to the Borrower of any such amendment, modification or waiver. In addition, the Borrower and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to modify this Credit Agreement by unilaterally amending or supplementing Schedule 2.1(a) from time to time in the manner requested by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender in order to reflect any assignments or transfers of the Loans as provided for and permitted hereunder; provided further , however , that the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy of any such modification to the Borrower and each Lender.
Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all the Lenders is required in certain circumstances as set forth above, (A) each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any bankruptcy reorganization plan that affects the Loans, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code supersedes the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein and (B) the Required Lenders may consent to allow a Credit Party to use cash collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.
The Borrower shall be permitted to replace with a replacement financial institution acceptable to the Administrative Agent, any Lender (other than the Lender then acting as Administrative Agent) that fails to consent to any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof or of any other Credit Document that requires the unanimous approval of all of the Lenders, the approval of all of the Lenders affected thereby or the approval of a class of Lenders, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Section 10.1, so long as the consent of the Required Lenders shall have been obtained with respect to such amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent; provided that (a) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (b) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such Replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (c) the replacement financial institution shall approve the proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent, (d) the Borrower shall be liable to such Replaced Lender under Section 2.17 if any LIBOR Rate Loan owing to such Replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (e) the Replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (f) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay to the Replaced Lender all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.18(a), as the case may be, (g) the Borrower provides at least three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to such Replaced Lender, and (h) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the Replaced Lender. In the event any Replaced Lender fails to execute the agreements required under Section 10.6 in connection with an assignment pursuant to this Section 10.1 (after two (2) days notice has been given to
 
- 97 -

such Replaced Lender), such failure will not impair the validity of the removal of such Replaced Lender and the mandatory assignment of such Replaced Lender’s Commitments and outstanding Loans shall nevertheless be effective without the execution by such Replaced Lender of the assignment documents required under Section 10.6 so long as (i) evidence of proof of receipt by such Replaced Lender of such assignment agreement is available and (ii) such Replaced Lender has been paid in full in cash on or prior to the effective date of such replacement.

(i) Minimum Amounts .
(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and
(B) in any case not described in the immediately preceding subsection (A), the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall exist, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (provided that the Borrower’s consent shall not be required if (x) a Default or Event of Default shall exist at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, and the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 5 Business Days after having received notice thereof); provided, however, that if, after giving effect to such
 
- 102 -

assignment, the amount of the Commitment held by such assigning Lender or the outstanding principal balance of the Loans of such assigning Lender, as applicable, would be less than $5,000,000, then such assigning Lender shall assign the entire amount of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it.
(ii) Proportionate Amounts . Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to rights in respect of a Competitive Loan.
(iii) Required Consents . No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clause (i)(B) of this subsection (b) and, in addition:
(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) a Default or Event of Default shall exist at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 5 Business Days after having received notice thereof;
(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of a Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not already a Lender with a Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and
(C) the consent of (1) the Issuing Lenders (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding) and (2) the Swingline Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of a Commitment.
(iv) Assignment and Acceptance . The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 for each assignment, and the Eligible Assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
(v) No Assignment to Borrower . No such assignment shall be made to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates (other an Affiliate of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. that is a Lender as of the Closing Date) or Subsidiaries.
(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons . No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.
 
- 103 -

(vii) No Assignment to Competitors . No such assignment shall be made to any competitor of the Borrower or any Subsidiary in the hospitality or lodging industry.
(viii) Assignments Involving Defaulting Lenders . In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (A) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (B) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in accordance with its Commitment Percentage; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause (viii), if any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this Section, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the immediately following subsection (c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.17 and 10.5 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with the immediately following subsection (d); provided, an assignment that does not comply with subsection (b)(vii) shall not be treated as a participation and shall be of no effect.
(c) Register . The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “ Register ”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each
 
- 104 -

Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d) Participations . Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “ Participant ”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (iv) no participation may be sold to any competitor of the Borrower or any Subsidiary in the hospitality or lodging industry. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of any Credit Document described in the first proviso of Section 10.1 that adversely affects such Participant. Subject to the immediately following subsection (e), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15 through 2.18 and 10.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. Upon request from the Administrative Agent, a Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of the sale of any participation hereunder.
(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights . A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.16 and 2.18 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.18 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to comply with Section 2.18(b) as though it were a Lender.
(f) Certain Pledges . Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(g) No Registration . Each Lender agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, it will not make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings

in respect of, any Loan or Note under the Securities Act or any other securities laws of the United States of America or of any other jurisdiction.

(a) Each Lender agrees that if any Lender (a “ Benefited Lender ”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Loans, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 7.1(e), or otherwise) in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans, or interest thereon, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Loan, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided , however , that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Borrower agrees that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Loans may exercise all rights of payment (including, without limitation, rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion.
(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off), each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to any Credit Party, any such notice being expressly waived by the Credit Parties to the extent permitted by applicable law, but subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Requisite Lenders exercised in their sole discretion, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, to setoff and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final but excluding set-off of trust and payroll accounts), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party, or any part thereof in such amounts as such Lender may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties to such Lender hereunder and claims of every nature and description of such Lender against the Borrower, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under any other Credit Document, the Fee Letter or any Hedging Agreement with a Hedging Agreement Provider provided by such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Credit Agreement, as such Lender may elect, whether or not such Lender has made any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured; provided , however , that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any set-off rights against accounts of any Credit Party under hotel management agreements pursuant to which such Credit Party is acting as agent for a third party with respect to the amounts in such account. The aforesaid right of set-off may be exercised by such Lender against the Credit Party or against any trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of any such Credit Party, or against anyone else claiming through or against any such Credit Party or any such trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in
 
- 106 -

possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor, notwithstanding the fact that such right of set-off shall not have been exercised by such Lender prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the applicable Credit Party and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided , however , that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, if any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.21 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

(i) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of each Credit Document and the Fee Letter;
(ii) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to the Borrower or any other Credit Party arising out of or in connection with this Credit Agreement and the relationship between Administrative Agent and Lenders, on one hand, and the Borrower and the other Credit Parties, on the other hand, in connection herewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and
(iii) no joint venture exists among the Lenders or among the Borrower and the Lenders.
(b) The Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders agree that:
(i) the Credit Party Obligations may not be enforced against any director, officer, employee or stockholder of the Borrower or the other Credit Parties; and
 
- 109 -

(ii) it is not necessary for the Borrower or the other Credit Parties to inquire into the capacity or power of the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf.
 
 	10.17	Waivers of Jury Trial .	
THE BORROWER, THE OTHER CREDIT PARTIES, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS CREDIT AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT OR THE FEE LETTER AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.
 
 	10.18	Judgment Currency .	
If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or under any other Credit Document or the Fee Letter in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Credit Documents or the Fee Letter shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “ Judgment Currency ”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Credit Agreement (the “ Agreement Currency ”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the Judgment Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).
 
 	10.19	Nonliability of Administrative Agent and Lenders .	
The relationship between the Borrower and the Lenders shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower or any other Credit Party and no provision in this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or the Fee Letter, and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Lender, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Credit Party. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to
 
- 110 -

the Borrower to review or inform the Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrower’s business or operations.
 
 	10.20	NO NOVATION .	
THE PARTIES HERETO HAVE ENTERED INTO THIS AGREEMENT SOLELY TO AMEND AND RESTATE THE TERMS OF THE EXISTING FACILITY. THE PARTIES DO NOT INTEND THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY TO BE, AND THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED TO BE, A NOVATION OF ANY OF THE CREDIT PARTY OBLIGATIONS (AS DEFINED IN THE EXISTING FACILITY) OWING BY THE BORROWER OR ANY GUARANTOR UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE EXISTING FACILITY OR ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS (AS DEFINED IN THE EXISTING FACILITY).

HYATT HOTELS CORPORATION,	
a Delaware corporation	
		
By:	 	 	
Name:	 	 	
Title:	 	 	

SCHEDULE 1.1(a)
Mandatory Cost Formulae
1. The Mandatory Cost is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with (a) the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the United Kingdom’s Financial Services Authority (the “Financial Services Authority”) (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) or (b) the requirements of the European Central Bank.
2. On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as possible thereafter), the Administrative Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost Rate”) for each Lender in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders’ Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum.
3. The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Lending Office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Administrative Agent. This percentage will be certified by that Lender in its notice to the Administrative Agent to be its reasonable determination of the cost (expressed as a percentage of that Lender’s participation in all Loans made from that Lending Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of loans made from that Lending Office.
4. The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Lending Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as follows:
 
 	(a)	in relation to a Loan denominated in Sterling:	

AB + C ( B – D ) +  E  x 0.01	 	percent per annum	
100 – ( A + C )	 		
 
 	(b)	in relation to a Loan denominated in any currency other than Sterling:	

E  x 0.01	 	percent per annum.	
300	 		
Where:
 
 	A	is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of any stated minimum) which that Lender is from time to time required to maintain as an interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio requirements.	

 	B	is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Applicable Margin and Mandatory Cost and, if the same would otherwise apply, the additional rate of interest specified in the definition of “Default Rate”) payable for the relevant Interest Period on the relevant Loan.	
 
 	C	is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that Lender is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of England.	
 
 	D	is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the Administrative Agent on interest bearing Special Deposits.	
 
 	E	is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Rules and is calculated by the Administrative Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Reference Banks to the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000.	
5. For the purposes of this Schedule 1.1(a) :
(a) “ Eligible Liabilities ” has the meaning given to it from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England;
(b) “ Fees Rules ” means the rules on periodic fees contained in the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;
(c) “ Fee Tariffs ” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Rules under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Rules but taking into account any applicable discount rate);
(d) “ Reference Banks ” means the principal London Office of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association or such other bank as may be appointed by the Administrative Agent after consultation with the Borrower;
(e) “ Special Deposits ” has the meanings given to it from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England; and
(f) “ Tariff Base ” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Rules.
6. In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e. 5 percent will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05). A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting figures shall be rounded to four decimal places.
7. If requested by the Administrative Agent, each Reference Bank shall, as soon as

practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Administrative Agent the rate of charge payable by that Reference Bank to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Rules in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by that Reference Bank as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to that Reference Bank for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of that Reference Bank.
8. Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Lender shall supply the following information on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender:
(a) the jurisdiction of its Lending Office; and
(b) any other information that the Administrative Agent may reasonably require for such purpose.
Each Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.
9.
