AMN HEALTHCARE SERVICES, INC.
 
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except per share amounts)
 
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The condensed consolidated balance sheets and related condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and cash flows contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”), which are unaudited, include the accounts of AMN Healthcare Services, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all entries necessary for a fair presentation of such unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. These entries consisted of all normal recurring items. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire fiscal year or for any future period.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Please refer to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 21, 2014.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to asset impairments, accruals for self-insurance, compensation and related benefits, accounts receivable, contingencies and litigation, valuation and recognition of share-based payments and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. Specifically, payments made into the Company’s life insurance policies to assist in funding the deferred compensation plan were reclassified from cash flows from operations to cash flows from investing activities in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2013. In addition, the Company reclassified expected insurance recoveries under its professional liability and workers’ compensation policies in the condensed consolidated balance sheet for the year ended December 31, 2013 to conform to the current year presentation. Professional liability and workers’ compensation liability were previously presented net of insurance recoveries. Commencing June 30, 2014, expected insurance recoveries are presented on a gross basis, with the short-term insurance receivable portion included within “Prepaid and other current assets” and the long-term portion included within “Other assets” on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

2. BUSINESS COMBINATION AND EQUITY INVESTMENT
ShiftWise Acquisition
On November 20, 2013, the Company completed its acquisition of ShiftWise, a leading national provider of web-based healthcare workforce solutions, including its vendor management systems, or “VMS,” utilized by hospitals and other healthcare systems. The strategic combination has added a new and more robust technology platform to the Company’s current workforce solutions offerings and will allow the Company to enhance its managed services business and provide a vendor neutral VMS option for interested clients. The acquisition is not considered a material business combination and, accordingly, pro forma information is not provided. The Company accounted for the acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting and recorded the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition. The purchase price of the acquisition totaled $39,500, of which $6,000 was deposited in escrow to satisfy any indemnification claims by the Company with respect to, among other customary items, breaches of representations, warranties and covenants by ShiftWise and post-closing purchase price adjustments. The $6,000 deposited in escrow will be disbursed to the selling shareholders in three years following the closing date at $2,000 per annum minus any indemnification claims. As of the date of this Form 10-Q, the Company is still finalizing the allocation of the purchase price. The provisional items pending finalization are primarily related to tax matters, which the Company expects to complete during 2014.


4

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price consisted of $9,899 of fair value of assets acquired, $11,801 of liabilities assumed (including $2,933 of deferred tax liabilities), $21,612 of goodwill and $19,790 of identified intangible assets. The intangible assets include the fair value of trade names and trademarks, customer relationships, non-compete agreements and acquired technologies. The weighted average useful life of the acquired intangible assets subject to amortization is approximately 8 years. There was no goodwill recognized as part of this acquisition that is deductible for tax purposes.

The results of operations of ShiftWise have been included in the nurse and allied healthcare staffing segment in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition.
Pipeline Equity Investment
In March 2014, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Pipeline Agreement”) under which it made an initial $2,000 investment in Pipeline Health Holdings LLC (“Pipeline”), a telepharmacy provider. The Company’s ownership percentage in Pipeline at March 31, 2014 was approximately 9%. Under the Pipeline Agreement, the Company committed to invest up to an additional $3,000 contingent upon Pipeline reaching two milestone commitments within a year. In April 2014, the Company made the first milestone investment of $1,000, which together with the initial investment currently represents an ownership percentage in Pipeline of approximately 12%. The investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company’s share of Pipeline’s results is included within “Interest expense, net and other” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

3. REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue consists of fees earned from the permanent and temporary placement of clinicians and physicians. Revenue is recognized when earned and realizable. The Company has entered into certain contracts with healthcare organizations to provide managed services programs. Under these contract arrangements, the Company uses its clinicians and physicians along with those of third party subcontractors to fulfill client orders. If the Company uses subcontractors, it records revenue net of related subcontractors expense. The resulting net revenue represents the administrative fee the Company charges for its vendor management services. The Company records subcontractor accounts receivable from the client in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company generally pays the subcontractor after it has received payment from the client. Payables to subcontractors of $24,936 and $22,051, respectively, were included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2014 and the audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013.

4. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted net income per common share reflects the effects of potentially dilutive share-based equity instruments.
Share-based awards to purchase 385 and 334 shares of common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, were not included in the calculation of diluted net income per common share because the effect of these instruments was anti-dilutive. Share-based awards to purchase 373 and 321 shares of common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, were not included in the calculation of diluted net income per common share because the effect of these instruments was anti-dilutive.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively:

5. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company has three reportable segments: nurse and allied healthcare staffing, locum tenens staffing and physician permanent placement services.
The Company’s management relies on internal management reporting processes that provide revenue and operating income by reportable segment for making financial decisions and allocating resources. Segment operating income represents income before income taxes plus depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation expense, interest expense (net) and other, and unallocated corporate overhead. The Company’s management does not evaluate, manage or measure performance of segments using asset information; accordingly, asset information by segment is not prepared or disclosed.
 
The following table provides a reconciliation of revenue and operating income by reportable segment to consolidated results and was derived from each segment’s internal financial information as used for corporate management purposes:

6. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
 
Fair value represents the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. When determining fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would conduct a transaction, in addition to the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the related assets or liabilities, including non-performance risk.
A three-level hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value and requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
 
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2—Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
 

6

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Assets Measured on a Recurring Basis
The Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis include restricted cash equivalents and investments and the Company’s investments associated with its deferred compensation plan. The following tables present information about these assets and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized to determine such fair value:

The Company’s restricted cash equivalents and investments typically consist of U.S. Treasury securities and money market funds, and the Company’s investments associated with its deferred compensation plan typically consist of money market funds, which fair values are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
Assets Measured on a Non-Recurring Basis
 The Company applies fair value techniques on a non-recurring basis associated with valuing potential impairment losses related to its goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets, long-lived assets and equity method investment. If impaired, the carrying values of such assets would be written down to fair value using Level 3 inputs. There were no triggering events identified and no indication of impairment of the Company’s goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets, long-lived assets or equity method investment during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of notes payable approximates its fair value as the instrument’s interest rates are variable and comparable to rates currently offered for similar debt instruments of comparable maturity (significant other observable inputs - level 2). The fair value of the Company’s long-term self-insurance accruals cannot be estimated as the Company cannot reasonably determine the timing of future payments.

7. INCOME TAXES
 The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, as of June 30, 2014, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, local or foreign examinations by tax authorities for years before 2005. During 2013, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) completed its tax audit of the Company for the years 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. The IRS issued a Revenue Agent Report (“RAR”) to the Company related to its completed tax examination. The RAR seeks adjustments to the Company’s taxable income for 2007-2010 and net operating loss carryforwards for 2005-2006. The adjustments to the Company’s taxable income relate to the proposed disallowance of certain per diems paid to our clinicians and locum tenens providers on the Company’s income tax return. Concurrent with the RAR, the Company received an Employment Tax Examination Report (“ETER”) for 2009 and 2010. The ETER adjustments propose additional Company payroll tax liabilities and penalties related to the treatment of certain non-taxable per diem allowances and

7

travel benefits. The positions in the RAR and ETER are mutually exclusive. The RAR and ETER contain multiple tax positions, some of which are contrary to each other.
The Company has filed a Protest Letter for both the RAR and ETER and intends to defend its position. The Company has held two meetings with the IRS Appeals office and will continue to meet with the IRS Appeals office throughout the course of the year. The Company cannot predict with certainty the timing of a resolution. The Company believes its reserve for unrecognized tax benefits and contingent tax issues is adequate. Notwithstanding, the Company could adjust its provision for income taxes and contingent tax liability based on future developments.
The IRS commenced income and payroll tax audits for the years 2011 and 2012 during November 2013.
 
8. NOTES PAYABLE AND RELATED CREDIT AGREEMENT
On April 18, 2014, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with several lenders to provide for two credit facilities (the “New Credit Facilities”) to replace its prior credit facilities, including (A) a $225,000 secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) that includes a $40,000 sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit and a $20,000 sublimit for swingline loans and (B) a $150,000 secured term loan credit facility (the “Term Loan”). In addition, the Credit Agreement provides that the Company may from time to time obtain an increase in the Revolver or the Term Loan or both in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $125,000 subject to, among other conditions, the arrangement of additional commitments with financial institutions reasonably acceptable to the Company and the administrative agent. The obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement and the New Credit Facilities are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.
The New Credit Facilities are available for working capital, capital expenditures, permitted acquisitions and general corporate purposes of the Company. The maturity date of the New Credit Facilities is April 18, 2019. At June 30, 2014, the outstanding balance of the Term Loan was $148,125, of which $7,500 is due in the next 12 months, and the outstanding balance under the Revolver was $6,500. At June 30, 2014, with $8,815 of outstanding letters of credit collaterialized by the Revolver, there was $209,685 of available credit under the Revolver.
Annual principal maturities of the outstanding Term Loan are as follows:

Six months ending December 31, 2014

The Revolver carries an unused fee of 0.25% to 0.35% per annum and each standby letter of credit issued under the Revolver is subject to a letter of credit fee ranging from1.50% to 2.25% per annum of the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under the standby letter of credit, in each case, depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, as calculated quarterly in accordance with the Credit Agreement. The Term Loan is subject to amortization of principal of 5.00% per year of the original Term Loan amount, which is $7,500 per annum, and payable in equal quarterly installments. Borrowings under the Term Loan and Revolver bear interest at floating rates, at the Company’s option, based upon either LIBOR plus a spread of 1.50% to 2.25% or a base rate plus a spread of 0.50% to 1.25% (weighted average interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus 1.75% at June 30, 2014). The applicable spread is determined quarterly based upon the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, as calculated quarterly in accordance with the Credit Agreement.
The Company used the proceeds from the New Credit Facilities to repay in full all outstanding indebtedness under its prior credit facilities and to pay related transaction costs. In addition, approximately $9,500 of standby letters of credit issued under the prior credit facilities were rolled into and deemed issued under the Revolver.
In connection with obtaining the New Credit Facilities, the Company incurred $3,488 in fees paid to lenders and other third parties, which were capitalized and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the New Credit Facilities. In addition, the Company wrote off $3,113 of unamortized financing fees and original issue discount, which was recorded as loss on debt extinguishment in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

8

The Credit Agreement contains various customary affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions on assumption of additional indebtedness, declaration and payment of dividends, dispositions of assets, consolidation into another entity and allowable investments. It also contains financial covenants that require the Company (1) not to exceed a certain maximum consolidated leverage ratio, as calculated in accordance with the Credit Agreement, which is initially set at 4.00 to 1.00 but ultimately steps down to 3.50 to 1.00 beginning with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2016, and (2) to maintain a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of 2.50 to 1.00, as calculated in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

Letters of Credit
 At June 30, 2014, the Company maintained outstanding standby letters of credit totaling $18,536 as collateral in relation to its professional liability insurance agreements, workers’ compensation insurance agreements, and a corporate office lease agreement. Of the $18,536 of outstanding letters of credit, the Company has collateralized $9,721 in cash, cash equivalents and investments and the remaining amounts are collateralized by the Revolver. Outstanding standby letters of credit at December 31, 2013 totaled $27,691.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
(a) Legal
The Company is subject to various claims and legal actions in the ordinary course of its business. Some of these matters relate to professional liability, tax, payroll, contract and employee-related matters and include individual and collective lawsuits, as well as inquiries and investigations by governmental agencies regarding the Company’s employment practices. During the first quarter of 2014, the Company completed the settlement of a wage and hour class action (and a related action) for an immaterial amount. Additionally, some of the Company’s clients may also become subject to claims, governmental inquiries and investigations and legal actions relating to services provided by the Company’s clinicians and physicians. Depending upon the particular facts and circumstances, the Company may be subject to indemnification obligations under its contracts with certain clients relating to these matters.

(b) Leases
 During the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company entered into a third amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to its office lease (as amended to date, the “Lease”) with Kilroy Realty, L.P. for its corporate headquarters in San Diego. Among other things, the Third Amendment extended the term under the Lease nine additional years from its original termination date of August 1, 2018 through July 31, 2027 and also reduced the rental payment from January 1, 2015 through the original termination date in 2018. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Future minimum lease payments under the Third Amendment as of June 30, 2014 are as follows:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
 
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto and other financial information included elsewhere herein and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the SEC on February 21, 2014 (“2013 Annual Report”). Certain statements in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” are “forward-looking statements.” See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” We undertake no obligation to update the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report. References in this Quarterly Report to “AMN Healthcare,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to AMN Healthcare Services, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries.
Overview
 
We are the innovator in healthcare workforce solutions and staffing services to healthcare facilities across the nation. As an innovative workforce solutions partner, our managed services programs, vendor management solutions, or “VMS,” recruitment process outsourcing, or “RPO,” and recruitment and placement of physicians, nurses and allied healthcare professionals into temporary and permanent positions enable our clients to successfully reduce complexity, increase efficiency and improve patient outcomes within the rapidly evolving healthcare environment. Our clients include acute and sub-acute care hospitals, government facilities, community health centers and clinics, physician practice groups, and several other healthcare-related settings. Our clients utilize our workforce solutions and healthcare staffing services to manage their temporary and permanent clinical workforce needs in an economically beneficial manner. Our managed services programs and vendor management solutions enable healthcare organizations to increase their efficiency by managing all of their clinical supplemental workforce needs through one company or technology.

We conduct business through three reportable segments: nurse and allied healthcare staffing, locum tenens staffing and physician permanent placement services. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded revenue of $250.9 million, as compared to $253.9 million for the same period last year. For the three months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded net income of $7.2 million, as compared to $8.4 million for the same period last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded revenue of $491.8 million, as compared to $506.1 million for the same period last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded net income of $14.8 million, as compared to $16.0 million for the same period last year.
 
Nurse and allied healthcare staffing segment revenue comprised 67% and 69% of total consolidated revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Through our nurse and allied healthcare staffing segment, we provide hospital and other healthcare facilities with a range of clinical workforce solutions, including: (1) a comprehensive managed services solution in which we manage all of the temporary nursing and allied staffing needs of a client; (2) a software as a service, or “SaaS,” VMS through which our clients can manage all of their temporary nursing and allied staffing needs; (3) traditional clinical staffing solutions of variable assignment lengths; and (4) a recruitment process outsourcing program that leverages our expertise and support systems to replace or complement a client’s existing internal recruitment function for permanent placement needs.
 
Locum tenens staffing segment revenue comprised 29% and 27% of total consolidated revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Through our locum tenens staffing segment, we (1) provide a comprehensive managed services solution in which we manage all of the locum tenens needs of a client; (2) provide a SaaS VMS through which our clients can manage all of their locum tenens needs; and (3) place physicians of all specialties, as well as dentists and other advanced practice providers, with clients on a temporary basis as independent contractors. These locum tenens are used by our healthcare facility and physician practice group clients to fill temporary vacancies created by vacation and leave schedules and to bridge the gap while they seek permanent candidates or explore expansion. Our locum tenens clients represent a diverse group of healthcare organizations throughout the United States, including hospitals, health systems, medical groups, occupational medical clinics, psychiatric facilities, government institutions and insurance entities. The professionals we place are recruited nationwide and are typically placed on multi-week contracts with assignment lengths ranging from a few days up to one year.
 
Physician permanent placement services segment revenue comprised 4% of total consolidated revenue for both the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. Through our physician permanent placement services segment, we assist hospitals, healthcare facilities and physician practice groups throughout the United States in identifying and recruiting physicians for permanent placement. We perform the vast majority of our services on a retained basis through our Merritt Hawkins® brand, for which we are generally paid through a blend of retained search fees and variable fees tied to work performed and successful placement. To a smaller degree, we also perform our services on a contingent basis, exclusively through our Kendall & Davis®

10

brand, for which fees are paid once physician candidates are ultimately hired by our clients. Our broad specialty offerings include over 70 specialist and sub-specialist opportunities such as internal medicine, family practice and orthopedic surgery.

Management Initiatives
 Our growth strategy focuses on providing an innovative and differentiated value and experience to our clients, clinicians and physicians. To accomplish this, we have broadened our service offerings beyond our traditional travel nurse and allied temporary staffing, locum tenens staffing, and physician permanent placement services, to include more strategic and recurring revenue sources from innovative workforce solutions offerings such as managed services programs, VMS and recruitment process outsourcing. Through these differentiated services, we have built strategic relationships with our clients to assist them in improving their financial, operational and patient care results through productivity and quality candidates. We continually seek strategic opportunities to expand into complementary service offerings that leverage our core capabilities of recruiting and credentialing clinicians and physicians, while providing a more recurring stream of revenue that reduces our exposure to economic cycle risk. At the same time, we continue to invest in our innovative workforce solutions, new candidate recruitment initiatives and technology infrastructure to ensure we are strategically ready in the long term to capitalize on the demand growth anticipated from the significant healthcare workforce shortages due to healthcare reform and the aging population.
Recent Trends
The healthcare staffing environment has improved throughout the second quarter of 2014. Demand in our travel nurse and allied healthcare staffing businesses is above prior-year levels and grew sequentially. Our locum tenens business has also experienced increased demand since the beginning of the year across all specialties. For both segments, the growth in demand has recently translated into increased booking levels.
We continue to see clients migrate to managed services program relationships, with particular increased activity in our locum tenens division. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, revenue from these contracts represented approximately 34% of our consolidated revenue as compared to 29% for the same period last year. With the inclusion of ShiftWise and continued penetration of managed services programs and recruitment process outsourcing, we expect that revenue attributable to our workforce solutions will continue to grow. These relationships have improved our ability to fill more of our clients’ needs and create operational efficiencies.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 Our critical accounting policies and estimates, except for the gross presentation of professional liability reserve and workers’ compensation reserve as described above in Note 1 - “Basis of Presentation” set forth in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements remain consistent with those reported in our 2013 Annual Report.
 
 Results of Operations
 
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, selected unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations data as a percentage of revenue. Our results of operations include three reportable segments: (1) nurse and allied healthcare staffing; (2) locum tenens staffing; and (3) physician permanent placement services. Our historical results are not necessarily indicative of our future results of operations.

Comparison of Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2013
 
Revenue.    Revenue decreased 1% to $250.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $253.9 million for the same period in 2013, due to lower revenue in our nurse and allied healthcare staffing and physician permanent placement segments partially offset by higher revenue in our locum tenens staffing segment.
Nurse and allied healthcare staffing segment revenue decreased 2% to $165.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $170.1 million for the same period in 2013. The decrease was primarily due to a 6% decrease in the average number of clinicians on assignment, which partially resulted from decreased volume of electronic medical record engagements during the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was partially offset by the addition of ShiftWise revenue and an increase in bill rates during the three months ended June 30, 2014.
 Locum tenens staffing segment revenue increased 2% to $74.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $72.7 million for the same period in 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to a 4% increase in revenue per day filled, partially offset by a 2% decrease in the number of days filled during the three months ended June 30, 2014.
Physician permanent placement services segment revenue decreased 3% to $10.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $11.1 million for the same period in 2013. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in searches activated during the three months ended June 30, 2014.
 
Cost of Revenue.    Cost of revenue decreased 3% to $173.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $179.5 million for the same period in 2013. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the average number of clinicians on assignment in the nurse and allied healthcare staffing segment, a decrease in the number of days filled in the locum tenens staffing segment, and lower direct cost of sales as a percentage of revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Nurse and allied healthcare staffing segment cost of revenue decreased 5% to $117.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $123.8 million for the same period in 2013. The decrease was primarily attributable to a 6% decrease in the average number of clinicians on assignment and lower insurance costs during the three months ended June 30, 2014.
Locum tenens staffing segment cost of revenue increased 1% to $52.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $51.6 million for the same period in 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to increase in pay rates to the locum tenens providers, partially offset by a decrease in the number of days filled during the three months ended June 30, 2014.
Physician permanent placement services segment cost of revenue decreased 6% to $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $4.1 million for the same period in 2013 primarily due to decrease in recruiter compensation during the three months ended June 30, 2014.
 
Gross Profit.    Gross profit increased 4% to $77.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $74.4 million for the same period in 2013, representing gross margins of 30.8% and 29.3%, respectively. The increase in consolidated gross margin was due to an increase in gross margin in all reportable segments. The nurse and allied healthcare staffing segment increase in gross margin was primarily due to higher bill to pay spreads and lower insurance costs during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and the addition of the higher margin ShiftWise business we acquired in November 2013. The locum

12

tenens staffing segment improvement was primarily due to higher bill to pay spreads during the three months ended June 30, 2014. Gross margin by reportable segment for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was 29.1% and 27.2% for nurse and allied healthcare staffing, 29.8% and 29.0% for locum tenens staffing, and 63.5% and 62.7% for physician permanent placement services, respectively.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.    Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $55.6 million, representing 22.1% of revenue, for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $54.6 million, representing 21.5% of revenue, for the same period in 2013. The increase in SG&A expenses was due primarily to the addition of our ShiftWise business, which we did not own during the three months ended June 30, 2013, and a $3.0 million gain on the holdback settlement in connection with the Medfinders acquisition during the three months ended June 30, 2013, partially offset by a $1.7 million unfavorable actuarial-based increase in our professional liability reserves in locum tenens staffing segment during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and a $1.6 million favorable actuarial-based decrease in our professional liability reserves in our nurse and allied healthcare staffing and locum tenens staffing segments during the three months ended June 30, 2014. SG&A expenses broken down among the reportable segments, unallocated corporate overhead and share-based compensation are as follows:

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses.    Amortization expense increased 19% to $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $1.6 million for the same period in 2013, primarily attributable to additional amortization expense related to the intangibles assets resulting from the ShiftWise acquisition in November 2013. Depreciation expense increased 31% to $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $1.6 million for the same period in 2013, primarily attributable to fixed assets acquired as part of the ShiftWise acquisition and an increase in purchased and developed hardware and software.
Interest Expense, Net and Other.    Interest expense, net and other, was $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $3.1 million for the same period in 2013. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014 included a $3.1 million write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees and original issue discount in connection with the refinancing of our credit facilities. Excluding the impact of refinancing, the lower interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013 was due to lower average debt outstanding balance and lower interest rate.
Income Tax Expense.    Income tax expense was $5.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to income tax expense of $5.1 million for the same period in 2013, reflecting effective income tax rates of 44.5% and 37.7% for these periods, respectively. The difference in the effective income tax rate was primarily attributable to the relationship of pre-tax income to permanent differences related to unrecognized tax benefits. We currently estimate our annual effective income tax rate to be approximately 43.5% for 2014.

Comparison of Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2013
 Revenue.    Revenue decreased 3% to $491.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $506.1 million for the same period in 2013, due to lower revenue in our nurse and allied healthcare staffing segment partially offset by higher revenue in our locum tenens staffing and physician permanent placement segments.
Nurse and allied healthcare staffing segment revenue decreased 5% to $329.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $346.9 million for the same period in 2013. The decrease was primarily due to an 8% decrease in the average number of clinicians on assignment, which partially resulted from decreased volume of electronic medical record engagements during the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was partially offset by the addition of ShiftWise revenue and an increase in bill rates during the six months ended June 30, 2014.
 

13

Locum tenens staffing segment revenue increased 2% to $141.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $138.2 million for the same period in 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to a 4% increase in revenue per day filled, partially offset by a 2% decrease in the number of days filled during the six months ended June 30, 2014.
Physician permanent placement services segment revenue increased 1% to $21.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $21.0 million for the same period in 2013. The increase was primarily due to an increase in active searches and placements during the six months ended June 30, 2014.
 
Cost of Revenue.    Cost of revenue decreased 5% to $340.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $358.6 million for the same period in 2013. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the average number of clinicians on assignment in the nurse and allied healthcare staffing segment during the six months ended June 30, 2014.
 
Nurse and allied healthcare staffing segment cost of revenue decreased 7% to $233.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $252.0 million for the same period in 2013. The decrease was primarily attributable to an 8% decrease in the average number of clinicians on assignment during the six months ended June 30, 2014.
Locum tenens staffing segment cost of revenue increased slightly to $99.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $98.8 million for the same period in 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in pay rates to the locum tenens providers, partially offset by a decrease in the number of days filled during the six months ended June 30, 2014.
Physician permanent placement services segment cost of revenue were $7.8 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.
Gross Profit.    Gross profit increased 3% to $151.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $147.4 million for the same period in 2013, representing gross margins of 30.7% and 29.1%, respectively. The increase in consolidated gross margin was due to an increase in gross margin in all reportable segments. The nurse and allied healthcare staffing segment increase in gross margin was primarily due to higher bill to pay spreads during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and the addition of the higher margin ShiftWise business we acquired in November 2013. The locum tenens staffing segment improvement was primarily due to higher bill to pay spreads during the six months ended June 30, 2014. Gross margin by reportable segment for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was 29.0% and 27.4% for nurse and allied healthcare staffing, 29.8% and 28.5% for locum tenens staffing, and 63.3% and 62.6% for physician permanent placement services, respectively.
 Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.    SG&A expenses were $110.2 million, representing 22.4% of revenue, for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $108.2 million, representing 21.4% of revenue, for the same period in 2013. The increase in SG&A expenses was due primarily to the addition of our ShiftWise business, which we did not own during the six months ended June 30, 2013, and a $3.0 million gain on the holdback settlement in connection with the Medfinders acquisition during the six months ended June 30, 2013, partially offset by a $2.7 million unfavorable actuarial-based increase in our professional liability reserves in locum tenens staffing segment during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and a $2.1 million favorable actuarial-based decrease in our professional liability reserves in our nurse and allied healthcare staffing and locum tenens staffing segments during the six months ended June 30, 2014. SG&A expenses broken down among the reportable segments, unallocated corporate overhead and share-based compensation are as follows:

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses.    Amortization expense increased 19% to $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $3.2 million for the same period in 2013, primarily attributable to additional amortization expense related to the intangibles assets resulting from the ShiftWise acquisition in November 2013. Depreciation expense increased 21% to $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from $3.3 million for the same period in 2013, primarily

14

attributable to fixed assets acquired as part of the ShiftWise acquisition and an increase in purchased and developed hardware and software.
 Interest Expense, Net and Other.    Interest expense, net and other, was $6.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $6.0 million for the same period in 2013. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 included a $3.1 million write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees and original issue discount in connection with the refinancing of our credit facilities. Excluding the impact of refinancing, the lower interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013 was due to lower average debt outstanding balance and lower interest rate.
Income Tax Expense.    Income tax expense was $11.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to income tax expense of $10.8 million for the same period in 2013, reflecting effective income tax rates of 44.2% and 40.3% for these periods, respectively. The difference in the effective income tax rate was primarily attributable to the relationship of pre-tax income to permanent differences related to unrecognized tax benefits. We currently estimate our annual effective income tax rate to be approximately 43.5% for 2014.

Historically, our primary liquidity requirements have been for acquisitions, working capital requirements and debt service under our credit facilities. We have funded these requirements through internally generated cash flow and funds borrowed under our credit facilities. At June 30, 2014, $148.1 million of our term loan was outstanding with $209.7 million of available credit under the Revolver (as defined below). As described below, on April 18, 2014, we entered into new credit facilities, the proceeds from which were used to pay off the prior credit facilities.
We believe that cash generated from operations and available borrowings under the Revolver will be sufficient to fund our operations for the next 12 months and beyond. We intend to finance potential future acquisitions either with cash provided from operations, borrowing under the Revolver, bank loans, debt or equity offerings, or some combination of the foregoing. The following discussion provides further details of our liquidity and capital resources.
 
Operating Activities
 
Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $7.2 million, compared to $17.3 million for the same period in 2013. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was attributable to a variety of factors, including (1) an increase in accounts receivable and accounts receivable for subcontractors, (2) a decrease in cash flows from prepaid expenses and other current assets as well as accounts payable and accrued expenses between periods due to timing of payments, and (3) an increase in restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments attributable to cash payments made to our captive insurance entity, which are restricted for use by the captive for future claim payments and, to a lesser extent, its working capital needs. Our Days Sales Outstanding was 55 days at June 30, 2014, and 55 days and 54 days at December 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively.
 
Investing Activities
 
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $5.8 million, compared to $6.0 million for the same period in 2013. The change was primarily attributable to the increase in capital expenditures and the $3.0 million equity method investment we made during the six months ended June 30, 2014, partially offset by the $ 8.4 million decrease in restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments balance resulting from the reduction of standby letters of credit. For both front office and back office functions, we intend to continue to update and further expand our utilization of established commercially available platforms including PeopleSoft and Salesforce. We also intend to continue to develop and maintain proprietary technology in areas in which we can differentiate our service offerings for our innovative workforce solutions such as VMS.
 

15

Financing Activities
 
Net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $11.4 million, primarily due to (1) repayments of our debt, including both regularly scheduled payments and paying off our prior credit facilities, and (2) cash paid for shares withheld for payroll taxes resulting from the exercise of employee equity awards, partially offset by the borrowings under the New Credit Facilities (as defined below). Net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $6.5 million, primarily due to payments under our then-existing term loan.

At June 30, 2014, there was $6.5 million outstanding under the Revolver, and the weighted average interest rate was one-month LIBOR plus 1.75%.
 
Refinancing of Credit Facilities
On April 18, 2014, we entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with several lenders to provide for two credit facilities (the “New Credit Facilities”) to replace our prior credit facilities, including (A) a $225 million secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) that includes a $40 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit and a $20 million sublimit for swingline loans and (B) a $150 million secured term loan credit facility (the “Term Loan”). In addition, the Credit Agreement provides that we may from time to time obtain an increase in the Revolver or the Term Loan or both in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $125 million subject to, among other conditions, the arrangement of additional commitments with financial institutions reasonably acceptable to us and the administrative agent. Our obligations under the Credit Agreement and the New Credit Facilities are secured by substantially all of our assets.
The New Credit Facilities are available for working capital, capital expenditures, permitted acquisitions and general corporate purposes of the Company. The maturity date of the New Credit Facilities is April 18, 2019.
The Revolver carries an unused fee of 0.25% to 0.35% per annum and each standby letter of credit issued under the Revolver is subject to a letter of credit fee ranging from 1.50% to 2.25% per annum of the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under the standby letter of credit, in each case, depending on our consolidated leverage ratio, as calculated quarterly in accordance with the Credit Agreement. The Term Loan is subject to amortization of principal of 5.00% per year of the original Term Loan amount, which is $7.5 million per annum, payable in equal quarterly installments. Borrowings under the Term Loan and Revolver bear interest at floating rates, at the Company’s option, based upon either LIBOR plus a spread of 1.50% to 2.25% or a base rate plus a spread of 0.50% to 1.25% (weighted average interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus 1.75% at June 30, 2014.) The applicable spread is determined quarterly based upon our consolidated leverage ratio, as calculated quarterly in accordance with the Credit Agreement.
We used the proceeds from the New Credit Facilities to repay in full all outstanding indebtedness under our prior credit facilities and to pay related transaction costs. In addition, approximately $9.5 million of standby letters of credit issued under the prior credit facilities were rolled into and deemed issued under the Revolver.
In connection with obtaining the New Credit Facilities, we incurred approximately $3.5 million in fees paid to lenders and third parties, which were capitalized and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the Credit Agreement. In addition, we wrote off $3.1 million of unamortized financing fees and original issue discount, which was recorded as loss on debt extinguishment in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.
The Credit Agreement contains various customary affirmative and negative covenants, including restrictions on assumption of additional indebtedness, declaration and payment of dividends, dispositions of assets, consolidation into another entity and allowable investments. It also contains financial covenants that require us (1) not to exceed a certain maximum consolidated leverage ratio, as calculated in accordance with the Credit Agreement, which is initially set at 4.00 to 1.00 but ultimately steps down to 3.50 to 1.00 beginning with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2016, and (2) to maintain a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of 2.50 to 1.00, as calculated in accordance with the Credit Agreement.
For more detail regarding to the terms of the Credit Agreement, please see “Item 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) - Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 8, Notes Payable and Related Credit Agreement.”
Letters of Credit
 At June 30, 2014, we maintained outstanding standby letters of credit totaling $18.5 million as collateral in relation to our professional liability insurance agreements, workers’ compensation insurance agreements, and a corporate office lease agreement. Of the $18.5 million of outstanding letters of credit, we have collateralized $9.7 million in cash, cash equivalents

16

and investments and the remaining amounts are collateralized by our Revolver. Outstanding standby letters of credit at December 31, 2013 totaled $27.7 million.
 
Contractual Obligations
During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we entered into the New Credit Agreement. In addition, during such period, we entered into a third amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to our office lease (as amended to date, the “Lease”) with Kilroy Realty, L.P. for our corporate headquarters in San Diego. Among other things, the Third Amendment extended the term under the Lease nine additional years from its original termination date of August 1, 2018 through July 31, 2027 and also reduced the rental payment from January 1, 2015 through the original termination date in 2018.
We have set forth in the table below the applicable revised line items to the table set forth under the caption entitled “Contractual Obligations” in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our 2013 Annual Report solely to reflect the impact to such line items in the Contractual Obligations table of (1) the amortization and interest rate changes from our New Credit Facilities that replaced our prior credit facilities; and (2) our entry into the Third Amendment.

Off-Balance Sheet and Other Financing Arrangements
 At June 30, 2014, we did not have any material relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance, variable interest or special purpose, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. In addition, we do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts. As such, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships. We do not have any material relationships or transactions with persons or entities that derive benefits from their non-independent relationship with us or our related parties.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting guidance related to revenue recognition. This new standard will replace all current U.S. GAAP guidance on this topic and eliminate all industry-specific guidance. The new revenue recognition standard provides a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2017 and can be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. We are evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting standard on our consolidated financial statements.
There have been no other new accounting pronouncements issued but not yet adopted that are expected to materially affect our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We based these forward-looking statements on our expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about future events and about the industry in which we operate. Forward-looking statements are identified by words such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “project,” “may,” variations of such words and other similar expressions. In addition, any statements that refer to projections of financial items, anticipated growth, future growth and revenues, future economic conditions and performance, plans, objectives and strategies for future operations, expectations, or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those implied by the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report are set forth in our 2013 Annual Report and include but are not limited to:

•
the effects of economic downturns or slow recoveries, which could result in less demand for our services;
•
any inability on our part to maintain and secure new clients because we generally do not have long-term or guaranteed contracts;
•
the level of consolidation and concentration of buyers of healthcare workforce solutions and staffing services, which could affect the pricing of our services and our ability to mitigate risk;
•
any inability on our part to quickly respond to changing marketplace conditions, such as alternative modes of healthcare delivery, reimbursement or client needs;
•
the ability of our clients to retain and increase the productivity of their permanent staff, or their ability to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of their internal recruiting efforts, through online recruiting or otherwise, which may negatively affect the demand for our services;
•
our ability to grow and operate our business profitably in compliance with employment laws and other legislation, laws and regulations that may directly or indirectly affect us, such as Medicare certification and reimbursement, professional licensure, government contracting requirements, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and other state or federal healthcare reform legislation;
•
the challenge to the classification of certain of our healthcare professionals as independent contractors;
•
the effect of medical malpractice, employment and wage regulation and other claims asserted against us, which could subject us to substantial liabilities;
•
any inability on our part to implement new infrastructure and technology systems effectively;
•
the effect of technology disruptions and obsolescence, which may negatively affect our business operations;
•
any inability on our part to recruit and retain sufficient quality clinicians and physicians at reasonable costs;
•
any inability on our part to properly screen and match clinicians and physicians with suitable placements;
•
any inability on our part to successfully attract and retain a sufficient number of quality sales and operational personnel;
•
the loss of our key officers and management personnel;
•
any inability on our part to maintain at reasonable costs the positive brand identities we have developed and acquired;
•
any recognition by us of an impairment to goodwill or indefinite lived intangibles;
•
the effect of adverse adjustments by us to accruals for self-insured retentions and unrecognized tax benefits, which could decrease our earnings or increase our losses, as the case may be, or negatively affect our cash flow; and
•
our level of indebtedness and any inability on our part to generate sufficient cash flow to service our debt.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, our primary exposure to market risk was interest rate risk associated with our variable interest debt instruments. A 1% change in interest rates on our variable rate debt would not have resulted in a material effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2014.
Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2014 were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Credit has been issued, except as provided in the following sentence, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Issuing Lender to reinstate all or a portion of the stated amount thereof in accordance with the provisions of such Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Auto‑Reinstatement Letter of Credit permits the Issuing Lender to decline to reinstate all or any portion of the stated amount thereof after a drawing thereunder by giving notice of such non‑reinstatement within a specified number of days after such drawing (the “Non‑Reinstatement Deadline”), the Issuing Lender shall not permit such reinstatement if it has received a notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five Business Days before the Non‑Reinstatement Deadline (A) from the Administrative Agent that the Requisite Lenders have elected not to permit such reinstatement or (B) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.2 is not then satisfied (treating such reinstatement as an LOC Credit Extension for purposes of this clause) and, in each case, directing the Issuing Lender not to permit such reinstatement.
(v)    Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Lender will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.
(f)    Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.
(iii)    Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 12:00 Noon on the date of any payment by the Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Lender through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and in Dollars. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the Issuing Lender by such time, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (expressed in Dollars) and the amount of the unreimbursed drawing shall become the unreimbursed amount (the “Unreimbursed Amount”). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the Honor Date, the Unreimbursed Amount and the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount. Any notice given by the Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.2(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.
(iv)    Each Revolving Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender, at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Schedule 2.1(a), in an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 P.M. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.2(c)(iii), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Issuing Lender.
(v)    With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Base Rate Loan because the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 cannot be satisfied or for

CHAR1\1351553v8                    40


any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the Issuing Lender an LOC Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which LOC Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Revolving Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such LOC Borrowing and shall constitute a Participation Interest from such Revolving Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.2.
(vi)    Until each Revolving Lender funds its Revolving Loan or Participation Interest pursuant to this Section 2.2 to reimburse the Issuing Lender for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Revolving Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the Issuing Lender.
(vii)    Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or Participation Interests to reimburse the Issuing Lender for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.2(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender may have against the Issuing Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.2(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Notice of Borrowing). No such making of a Participation Interest shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.
(viii)    If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.2(c) by the time specified in Section 2.2(c)(ii), the Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Issuing Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Issuing Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Issuing Lender in connection with the foregoing. A certificate of the Issuing Lender submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(g)    Repayment of Participations.
(i)    At any time after the Issuing Lender has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Revolving Lender such Lender’s Participation Interest in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.2(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the Issuing Lender any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise,

CHAR1\1351553v8                    41


including proceeds of cash collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Revolving Lender its Commitment Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Lender’s Participation Interest was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.
(ii)    If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 11.2 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Issuing Lender in its discretion), each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender its Commitment Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Revolving Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Revolving Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Credit Party Obligations and the termination of this Credit Agreement.
(h)    Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Lender for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each LOC Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:
(i)    any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Credit Agreement, or any other Credit Document;
(ii)    the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Issuing Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Credit Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;
(iii)    any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient (unless the Issuing Lender has actual knowledge of such forgery, fraud or insufficiency) in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;
(iv)    any payment by the Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor‑in‑possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code; or
(v)    any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary.

CHAR1\1351553v8                    42


The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will promptly notify the Issuing Lender. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the Issuing Lender and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.
(i)    Role of Issuing Lender. Each Revolving Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the Issuing Lender shall be liable to any Revolving Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Requisite Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or LOC Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the Issuing Lender shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.2(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the Issuing Lender, and the Issuing Lender may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the Issuing Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the Issuing Lender’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.
(j)    Cash Collateral.
(i)    Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (A) if the Issuing Lender has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an LOC Borrowing, or (B) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any LOC Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then outstanding amount of all LOC Obligations.
(ii)    Sections 3.3 and 9.2(c) set forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder. For purposes of this Section 2.2, Section 3.3, Section 3.14 and Section 9.2(c), “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lender and the Revolving Lenders, as

CHAR1\1351553v8                    43


collateral for the LOC Obligations, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender (which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders). “Cash Collateral” has a correlative meaning. Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lender and the Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein constituting Cash Collateral and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non‑interest bearing deposit accounts at SunTrust; provided, that, at the request of the Borrower, amounts so maintained shall be invested by the Administrative Agent in Cash Equivalents.
(k)    Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Lender and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of ISP98 (International Standby Practice) shall apply to each Letter of Credit.

(m)    Letters of Credit Issued for Parties other than the Borrower. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Issuing Lender hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of any such Person inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Person.

The Swingline Lender shall initiate the transfer of funds representing the Swingline Loan advance to the Borrower by 4:00 P.M. (Atlanta, Georgia time) on the Business Day of the requested borrowing. It is understood and agreed that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, the Swingline Lender shall have no obligation to make Swingline Loans if any Revolving Lender is at such time an Impacted Lender, unless the Swingline Lender has entered into reasonably satisfactory arrangements with the Borrower or such Revolving Lender to eliminate the Swingline Lender’s risk with respect to such Revolving Lender.

The Swingline Lender may, at any time, in its sole discretion, by written notice to the Borrower and the Revolving Lenders, demand repayment of its Swingline Loans by way of a Revolving Loan advance, in which case the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Loan advance comprised solely of Base Rate Loans in the amount of such Swingline Loans; provided, however, that any such demand shall be deemed to have been given one Business Day prior to the Revolving Maturity Date and on the date of the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 9.1 and upon acceleration of the indebtedness hereunder and the exercise of remedies in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.2. Each Revolving Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make its pro rata share of each such Revolving Loan in the amount, in the manner and on the date specified in the preceding sentence notwithstanding (I) the amount of such borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for advances of Revolving Loans otherwise required hereunder, (II) whether any conditions specified in Section 5.2 are then satisfied, (III) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (IV) failure of any such request or deemed request for Revolving Loan to be made by the time otherwise required hereunder, (V) whether the date of such borrowing is a date on which Revolving Loans are otherwise permitted to be made hereunder or (VI) any termination of the Commitments relating thereto immediately prior to or contemporaneously with such borrowing. In the event that any Revolving Loan 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 with respect to the Borrower or any other Credit Party), then each Revolving Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date such borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payments received from the Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Swingline Lender such Participation Interests in the outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause each such Revolving Lender to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon its Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Committed Amount (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Commitments pursuant to Section 3.4), provided that (A) all interest payable on the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender until the date as of which the respective Participation Interest is purchased and (B) at the time any purchase of Participation Interests pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the

The Tranche A Loan may consist of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, or a combination thereof, as the Borrower may request; provided, however, that no more than six (6) Eurodollar Loans which are Tranche A Loans shall be outstanding hereunder at any time (it being understood that, for purposes hereof, Eurodollar Loans with different Interest Periods shall be considered as separate Eurodollar Loans, even if they begin on the same date, although borrowings, extensions and conversions may, in accordance with the provisions hereof, be combined at the end of existing Interest Periods to constitute a new Eurodollar Loan with a single Interest Period). Amounts prepaid or repaid on the Tranche A Loan may not be reborrowed.

(o)    If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by the Borrower under any Credit Document is not paid when due (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon the request of the Requisite Lenders, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws.
(p)    Upon the request of the Requisite Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Loans and LOC Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws.

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 interest rate type; provided, however, that (i) except as provided in Section 3.8, Eurodollar Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans or extended as Eurodollar Loans for new Interest Periods only on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) without the consent of the Requisite Lenders, Eurodollar Loans may be extended, and Base Rate Loans may be converted into Eurodollar Loans, only to the extent no Default or Event of Default shall exist and be continuing on the date of extension or conversion, (iii) Loans extended as, or converted into, Eurodollar 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, with respect to Revolving Loans, Section 2.1(b)(ii) or with respect to the Tranche A Loans, Section 2.4(c), (iv)  any request for extension or conversion of a Eurodollar Loan which shall fail to specify an Interest Period shall be deemed to be a request for an Interest Period of one month and (v) Swingline Loans may not be extended or converted pursuant to this Section 3.2. Each such

CHAR1\1351553v8                    50


extension or conversion shall be effected by the Borrower by giving a Notice of Extension/Conversion (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Schedule 2.1(a), or at such other office as the Administrative Agent may designate in writing, prior to 12:00 Noon (Atlanta, Georgia time) on the Business Day of, in the case of the conversion of a Eurodollar Loan into a Base Rate Loan, and on the third Business Day prior to, in the case of the extension of a Eurodollar Loan as, or conversion of a Base Rate Loan into, a Eurodollar Loan, the date of the proposed extension or conversion, specifying the date of the proposed extension or conversion, the Loans to be so extended or converted, the types of Loans into which such Loans are to be converted and, if appropriate, 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 clauses (b), (c), (d) and (e) of Section 5.2. In the event the Borrower fails to request extension or conversion of any Eurodollar Loan in accordance with this Section 3.2, or any such conversion or extension is not permitted or required by this Credit Agreement, then such Eurodollar Loan shall be automatically converted into a 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.
3.3    Prepayments.
(g)    Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right to prepay Loans in whole or in part from time to time; provided, however, that each partial prepayment of Loans (other than Swingline Loans) shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $250,000 in excess thereof (or the then remaining principal balance of the Revolving Loans or any Term Loans, as applicable, if less). Subject to the foregoing terms, amounts prepaid under this Section 3.3(a) shall be applied as the Borrower may elect; provided that if the Borrower shall fail to specify, voluntary prepayments shall be applied first to Swingline Loans, second to Revolving Loans (first to Base Rate Loans and then to Eurodollar Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities), third ratably to all Term Loans, in each case ratably to Principal Amortization Payments (or, in the case of any Incremental Term Loan, as set forth in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Agreement) (first to Base Rate Loans and then to Eurodollar Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities) and, fourth, after all Loans have been repaid, to Cash Collateralize the LOC Obligations. All prepayments under this Section 3.3(a) shall be subject to Section 3.12, but otherwise without premium or penalty, and shall be accompanied by interest on the principal amount prepaid through the date of prepayment.
(h)    Mandatory Prepayments.
(iii)    (A)    Revolving Committed Amount. If at any time, the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans plus LOC Obligations plus Swingline Loans shall exceed the Revolving Committed Amount, the Borrower immediately shall prepay the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans and (after all Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans have been repaid) Cash Collateralize the LOC Obligations, in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.
(A)    LOC Committed Amount. If at any time, the sum of the aggregate principal amount of LOC Obligations shall exceed the LOC Committed Amount, the Borrower immediately shall Cash Collateralize the LOC Obligations in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(B)    If, as of the last day of any fiscal year (commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014) the Consolidated Leverage Ratio is less than 3.00 to 1.00 then no Excess Cash Flow prepayment shall be required for such fiscal year.
(v)    (A)    Asset Dispositions. Promptly upon the occurrence of any Asset Disposition Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of the related Asset Disposition not applied (or caused to be applied) by the Credit Parties during the related Application Period to make Eligible Reinvestments as contemplated by the terms of Section 8.5(g) (such prepayment to be applied as set forth in clause (v) below).
(A)    Extraordinary Receipts. Promptly upon the receipt of Extraordinary Receipts received by or paid to or for the account of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries from any Involuntary Disposition requiring application of any insurance proceeds to the prepayment of Loans (and Cash Collateralization of LOC Obligations) pursuant to Section 7.6(b), the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof (such prepayment to be applied as set forth in clause (v) below).

Immediately upon the occurrence of any Debt Issuance Prepayment Event, the Borrower shall prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of the related Designated Debt Issuance (such prepayment to be applied as set forth in clause (vi) below).
(vii)    Application of Mandatory Prepayments. All amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 3.3(b) shall be applied as follows: (A) with respect to all amounts prepaid pursuant to Section 3.3(b)(i)(A), to Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans (without any reduction in the Revolving Committed Amount) and (after all Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans have been repaid) to Cash Collateralize the LOC Obligations, (B) with respect to all amounts prepaid pursuant to Section 3.3(b)(i)(B), to Cash Collateralize the LOC Obligations and (C) with respect to all amounts prepaid pursuant to Section 3.3(b)(ii), (iii) or (iv), first ratably to all Term Loans, in each case ratably to Principal Amortization Payments (or, in the case of any Incremental Term Loan, as set forth in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Agreement), second, ratably to the LOC Borrowings and the Swingline Loans (without any reduction in the Swingline Committed Amount), and third, to the outstanding Revolving Loans (without any reduction in the Revolving Committed

Any amounts so deposited shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the prepayment of such Eurodollar Loans and shall be applied to the prepayment of the applicable Eurodollar Loans at the end of the current Interest Periods applicable thereto. At the request of the Borrower, amounts so deposited shall be invested by the Administrative Agent in Cash Equivalents maturing prior to the date or dates on which it is anticipated that such amounts will be applied to prepay such Eurodollar Loans; any interest earned on such Cash Equivalents will be for the account of the Borrower and the Borrower will deposit with the Administrative Agent the amount of any loss on any such Cash Equivalents to the extent necessary in order that the amount of the prepayment to be made with the deposited amounts may not be reduced.
3.4    Termination and Reduction of Revolving Committed Amount.
(e)    Voluntary Reductions. The Borrower may from time to time permanently reduce or terminate the Revolving Committed Amount in whole or in part (in minimum aggregate amounts of $5,000,000 or in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the full remaining amount of the then applicable Revolving Committed Amount)) upon five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, no such termination or reduction shall be made which would cause the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans plus LOC Obligations plus Swingline Loans to exceed the Revolving Committed Amount unless, concurrently with such termination or reduction, the Revolving Loans are repaid to the extent necessary to eliminate such excess. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender of receipt by the Administrative Agent of any notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.4(a).
(f)    Tranche A Loan Commitments. The Tranche A Loan Commitment of each Tranche A Lender shall automatically terminate at such time as such Tranche A Lender shall have made available to the Borrower such Tranche A Lender’s share of the Tranche A Loan.

CHAR1\1351553v8                    53


3.5    Fees.
(h)    Unused Fee. In consideration of the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders hereunder, the Borrower promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a fee (the “Unused Fee”) on the Unused Revolving Committed Amount computed at a per annum rate for each day during the applicable Unused Fee Calculation Period (hereinafter defined) at a rate equal to the Applicable Percentage; provided, that, no Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under this Section 3.5(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender). The Unused Fee shall commence to accrue on the Closing Date and shall be due and payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December (and on any date that the Revolving Committed Amount is reduced and on the Maturity Date) for the immediately preceding quarter (or portion thereof) (each such quarter or portion thereof for which the Unused Fee is payable hereunder being herein referred to as an “Unused Fee Calculation Period”), beginning with the first of such dates to occur after the Closing Date.
(i)    Letter of Credit Fees.
(i)    Letter of Credit Issuance Fee. In consideration of the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder, the Borrower promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) on such Revolving Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the average daily maximum amount available to be drawn under each such Letter of Credit computed at a per annum rate for each day from the date of issuance to the date of expiration equal to the Applicable Percentage. The Letter of Credit Fee will be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December for the immediately preceding quarter (or a portion thereof).
(ii)    Issuing Lender Fees. In addition to the Letter of Credit Fee payable pursuant to clause (i) above, the Borrower promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender, without sharing by the other Lenders, in Dollars, a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum agreed to between the Borrower and the applicable Issuing Lender, as the case may be, computed on the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the tenth Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently‑ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.5. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to the Issuing Lender for its own account, in Dollars, the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the Issuing Lender relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

CHAR1\1351553v8                    54


3.6    Capital Adequacy.
If any Lender has determined, after the date hereof, that there has been a Change in Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or assets as a consequence of its commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then, upon notice from such Lender to the Borrower, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction. Each determination by any such Lender of amounts owing under this Section shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section 3.6, a Lender shall not be entitled to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.6, if it shall not be the general practice of such Lender to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other comparable credit agreements.
3.7    Limitation on Eurodollar Loans.
If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Loan:
(a)    the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period; or
(b)    the Requisite Lenders determine (which determination shall be conclusive) and notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall give the Borrower prompt notice thereof, and so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to make additional Eurodollar Loans, Continue Eurodollar Loans, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans and the Borrower shall, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding Eurodollar Loans, either prepay such Eurodollar Loans or Convert such Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement.
3.8    Illegality.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Credit Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to make, maintain, or fund Eurodollar Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue Eurodollar Loans and to Convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make, maintain, and fund Eurodollar Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 3.10 shall be applicable).
3.9    Requirements of Law.
If, after the date hereof, a Change in Law, or compliance by any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank, or comparable agency:

CHAR1\1351553v8                    55


(i)    shall subject such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) to any tax, duty, or other charge with respect to any Loans, its Notes, or its obligation to make Loans, or change the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Credit Agreement or its Notes in respect of any Loans (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.11 and the imposition of, or change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender);
(ii)    shall impose, modify, or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment, or similar requirement (other than the reserve requirements utilized in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities or commitments of, such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office), including the Commitment of such Lender hereunder; or
(iii)    shall impose on such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Credit Agreement or its Notes or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities or commitments;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making, Converting into, Continuing, or maintaining any Eurodollar Loans or to reduce any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Credit Agreement or its Notes with respect to any Eurodollar Loans, then the Borrower shall pay to such Lender within 5 Business Days following demand such amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction; provided that the provisions of this Section 3.9 shall not be interpreted to cause a duplication in payment or treatment of any taxes in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of Section 3.11. If any Lender requests compensation by the Borrower under this Section 3.9, the Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue Eurodollar Loans, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 3.10 shall be applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.9 and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to it. Any Lender claiming compensation under this Section 3.9 shall furnish to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a statement setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.
3.10    Treatment of Affected Loans.
If the obligation of any Lender to make any Eurodollar Loan or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.7, 3.8 or 3.9 hereof, such Lender’s Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for such Eurodollar Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion, on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to the Borrower with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 3.7, 3.8 or 3.9 hereof that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:

CHAR1\1351553v8                    56


(a)    to the extent that such Lender’s Eurodollar Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Eurodollar Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and
(b)    all Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as Eurodollar Loans shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into Eurodollar Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.
If such Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 3.7, 3.8 or 3.9 hereof that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s Eurodollar Loans pursuant to this Section 3.10 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurodollar Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurodollar Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding Eurodollar Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, interest rate basis, and Interest Periods of Revolving Loans) in accordance with their respective Commitments of Revolving Loans and/or Term Loans, as the case may be.
3.11    Taxes.
(a)    Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Credit Parties hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable laws require any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such laws as determined by such Credit Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below, such Credit Party or the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after making such deduction or withholding (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.11) the applicable recipient shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b)    Payment of Other Taxes by the Credit Parties. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Credit Parties shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable laws.
(c)    Tax Indemnification.
(iii)    Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, but without duplication, the Credit Parties shall, and do hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Lender, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) withheld or deducted by the Credit Parties or the Administrative Agent or paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing

CHAR1\1351553v8                    57


Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.

A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(iv)    Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Lender and the Issuing Lender shall, and does hereby, indemnify and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten days after demand therefor, (x) the Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender or the Issuing Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (y) the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.3(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or a Credit Party in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Each Lender and the Issuing Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, under this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii). The agreements in this clause (ii) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or the Issuing Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Credit Party Obligations.
(d)    Evidence of Payments. Upon written request by any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by such Credit Party or by the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.11, such Credit Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to such Credit Party, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by law to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such Credit Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.
(e)    Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.
(i)    Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable laws or when reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower or the

CHAR1\1351553v8                    58


Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Credit Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Credit Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction.
(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States,
(A)    any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W‑9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable laws or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements; and
(B)    each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Credit Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(iii)    Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re‑designation of its Applicable Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable laws of any jurisdiction that the Borrower or the Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender.
(iv)    Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent sufficient for the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine whether payments to such Lender hereunder requirements are subject to withholding under FATCA.

(f)    Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or the Issuing Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or the Issuing Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Credit Party or with respect to which any Credit Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.11, it shall pay to such Credit Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Credit Party under this Section 3.11 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out‑of‑pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that each Credit Party, upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Credit Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender, as applicable, be required to pay any amount to any Credit Party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place it in a less favorable net after-tax position than it would have been in if the tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

3.12    Compensation.
Upon the request of any Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost, or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) incurred by it as a result of:
(a)    any payment, prepayment, or Conversion of a Eurodollar Loan for any reason (including, without limitation, the acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 9.2) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or
(b)    any failure by the Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any condition precedent specified in Section 5 to be satisfied) to borrow, Convert, Continue, or prepay a Eurodollar Loan on the date for such borrowing, Conversion, Continuation, or prepayment specified in the relevant notice of borrowing, prepayment, Continuation, or Conversion under this Credit Agreement.
With respect to Eurodollar Loans, such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, Converted or Continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, Convert or Continue to the last day of the applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, Convert or Continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Eurodollar Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Percentage included therein, if any) over (b) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank Eurodollar market. The covenants of the Borrower set forth in this Section 3.12 shall survive the repayment of the Loans, LOC Obligations and other obligations under the Credit Documents and the termination of the Commitments hereunder.
3.13    Pro Rata Treatment.
Except to the extent otherwise provided herein:
(a)    Loans. Each Loan, each payment or (subject to the terms of Section 3.3) prepayment of principal of any Loan or reimbursement obligations arising from drawings under Letters of Credit, each payment of interest on the Loans or reimbursement obligations arising from drawings under Letters of Credit, each payment of Unused Fees, each payment of the Letter of Credit Fee, each reduction of the Revolving Committed Amount and each conversion or extension of any Loan, shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Loans of the applicable type and Participation Interests in Loans of the applicable type and Letters of Credit.
(b)    Advances. No Lender shall be responsible for the failure or delay by any other Lender in its obligation to make its ratable share of a borrowing hereunder; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to fulfill its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of any requested borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent its ratable share of such borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent

CHAR1\1351553v8                    61


on the date of such borrowing, and the Administrative Agent in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion but without any obligation to do so) 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 within three (3) Business Days after demand pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent. 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.
3.14    Sharing of Payments.
Except with respect to Cash Collateral held by the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender, the Lenders agree among themselves that, in the event that any Lender shall obtain payment in respect of any Loan, LOC Obligations or any other obligation owing to such Lender pursuant to this Credit Agreement through the exercise of a right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, in excess of its pro rata share of such payment as provided for in this Credit Agreement, such Lender shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders a Participation Interest in such Loans, LOC Obligations and other obligations in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time, as shall be equitable to the end that all Lenders share such payment in accordance with their respective ratable shares as provided for in this Credit Agreement. The Lenders further agree among themselves that if payment to a Lender obtained by such Lender through the exercise of a right of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim or other event as aforesaid shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored, each Lender which shall have shared the benefit of such payment shall, by repurchase of a Participation Interest theretofore sold, return its share of that benefit (together with its share of any accrued interest payable with respect thereto) to each Lender whose payment shall have been rescinded or otherwise restored. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing such a Participation Interest may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all rights of payment, including setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim, with respect to such Participation Interest as fully as if such Lender were a holder of such Loan, LOC Obligations or other obligation in the amount of such Participation Interest. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Credit Agreement, if any Lender shall fail to remit to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender an amount payable by such Lender to the Administrative Agent or such other Lender pursuant to this Credit Agreement on the date when such amount is due, such payments shall be made together with interest thereon for each date from the date such amount is due until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent or such other Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section 3.14 applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders under this Section 3.14 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.14 to the contrary, the foregoing provisions of this paragraph will not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made

CHAR1\1351553v8                    62


by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Credit Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit to any assignee or participant in accordance with this Credit Agreement.
3.15    Payments, Computations, Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Percentage, Administrative Agent’s Clawback, Etc.
(a)    Generally. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent in Dollars in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction, counterclaim or withholding of any kind, at the Administrative Agent’s office specified in Schedule 2.1(a) not later than 2:00 P.M. (Atlanta, Georgia time) on the date when due unless such day is not a Business Day in which case such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. Payments received after such time shall be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day. The Borrower shall, at the time it makes any payment under this Credit Agreement, specify to the Administrative Agent the Loans, LOC Obligations, Fees, interest or other amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied (and in the event that it fails so to specify, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments first to Swingline Loans, second to Revolving Loans (first to Base Rate Loans and then to Eurodollar Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities), third ratably to all Term Loans, in each case ratably to Principal Amortization Payments (or, in the case of any Incremental Term Loan, as set forth in the applicable Incremental Term Loan Agreement) (in each case first to Base Rate Loans and then to Eurodollar Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities) and fourth after all Revolving Loans and the Term Loans have been repaid, to Cash Collateralize the LOC Obligations. The Administrative Agent will distribute such payments to such Lenders, if any such payment is received prior to 2:00 P.M. (Atlanta, Georgia time) on a Business Day in like funds as received prior to the end of such Business Day and otherwise the Administrative Agent will distribute such payment to such Lenders on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (subject to accrual of interest and Fees for the period of such extension), except that in the case of Eurodollar Loans, if the extension would cause the payment to be made in the next following calendar month, then such payment shall instead be made on the next preceding Business Day. Except as expressly provided otherwise herein, all computations of interest and fees shall be made on the basis of actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days, except with respect to computation of interest on Base Rate Loans which shall be calculated based on a year of 365 or 366 days, as appropriate. Interest shall accrue from and include the date of borrowing, but exclude the date of payment.
(b)    Allocation of Payments After Event of Default. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Credit Agreement to the contrary, after acceleration of the Credit Party Obligations pursuant to Section 9.2, 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 or in respect of the Collateral 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 the Administrative Agent in connection with enforcing the rights of the Lenders under the Credit Documents and any protective advances made

CHAR1\1351553v8                    63


by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Collateral under or pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Documents;
SECOND, to payment of any fees owed to the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such;
THIRD, to the payment of all of the Credit Party Obligations consisting of accrued fees and interest on the Loans, LOC Obligations and obligations arising under Secured Hedging Agreements and Cash Management Agreements;
FOURTH, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Credit Party Obligations (including the payment or Cash Collateralization of the outstanding LOC Obligations and obligations arising under Secured Hedging Agreements and Cash Management Agreements);
FIFTH, to the payment of all reasonable out‑of‑pocket costs and expenses (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) 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;
SIXTH, 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 “FIFTH” above; and
SEVENTH, 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; (ii) each of the Lenders 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 bears to the aggregate then outstanding Loans and LOC Obligations) of amounts available to be applied pursuant to clauses “THIRD”, “FOURTH”, “FIFTH” and “SIXTH” above; and (iii) to the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to clause “FOURTH” above are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, such amounts shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a cash collateral account and applied (A) first, to reimburse the Issuing Lender(s) from time to time for any drawings under such Letters of Credit and (B) then, following the expiration of all Letters of Credit, to all other obligations of the types described in clauses “FOURTH”, “FIFTH” and “SIXTH” above in the manner provided in this Section 3.15(b).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) no amount received from any Guarantor (including any proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral owned by such Guarantor) shall be applied to any Excluded Swap Obligation of such Guarantor and (b) Credit Party Obligations arising under Cash Management Agreements and Hedging Agreements shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, from the Cash Management Bank or the Secured Hedge Provider, as the case may be. Each Cash Management Bank or Secured Hedge Provider that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Section 10 hereof for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.

CHAR1\1351553v8                    64


(c)    Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Percentage. If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Parent or for any other reason, (i) the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable date proves to have been inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, under Section 2.2(c)(iii), 3.1 or 3.5(b) or under Section 9. The Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the aggregate Revolving Commitments and the repayment of all other Credit Party Obligations hereunder.
(d)    (i)    Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Eurodollar Loans (or, in the case of any Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Loans) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Loan, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.1 (or, in the case of a Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.4) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Loan available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Loan to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
(i)    Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the time at which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, severally

CHAR1\1351553v8                    65


agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the Issuing Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (d) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
3.16    Evidence of Debt.
(a)    Each Lender shall maintain an account or accounts evidencing each Loan made by such Lender to the Borrower from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Credit Agreement. Each Lender will make reasonable efforts to maintain the accuracy of its account or accounts and to promptly update its account or accounts from time to time, as necessary.
(b)    The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 11.3(c), and a subaccount for each Lender, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the amount, type and Interest Period of each such Loan hereunder, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from or for the account of any Credit Party and each Lender’s share thereof. The Administrative Agent will make reasonable efforts to maintain the accuracy of the subaccounts referred to in the preceding sentence and to promptly update such subaccounts from time to time, as necessary.
(c)    The entries made in the accounts, Register and subaccounts maintained pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 3.16 (and, if consistent with the entries of the Administrative Agent, clause (a)) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Credit Parties therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain any such account, such Register or such subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Credit Parties to repay the Credit Party Obligations owing to such Lender.
3.17    Replacement of Affected Lenders. If (a) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.9, (b) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority of the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.11, (c) any Lender notifies the Borrower and Administrative Agent that it is unable to fund Eurodollar Loans pursuant to Sections 3.7 or 3.8, (d) a Lender (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) does not consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to any Credit Document that has been approved by the Requisite Lenders as provided in Section 11.6(b) but requires unanimous consent of all Lender or all the Lenders directly affected thereby (as applicable) or (e) if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 11.3) all its interests, rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement and the related Credit Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender); provided, that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be

CHAR1\1351553v8                    66


unreasonably withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of all Loans owed to it, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (in the case of such outstanding principal and accrued interest) and from the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) in the case of a claim for compensation under Section 3.9 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.11, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments, (iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law and (v) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Non-Consenting Lender’s failure to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to any Credit Document, the applicable assignee consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination; provided that the failure by such Non-Consenting Lender to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption shall not impair the validity of the removal of such Non-Consenting Lender and the mandatory assignment of such Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitments and outstanding Loans pursuant to this Section 3.17 shall nevertheless be effective without the execution by such Non-Consenting Lender of an Assignment and Assumption. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
3.18    Reallocation and Cash Collateralization of Defaulting Lender Commitment    .
(a)    If a Revolving Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Credit Agreement:
(i)    the obligations of such Defaulting Lender to purchase participations in LOC Obligations and Swingline Loans will, subject to the limitation in the first proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the day such Revolving Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments (calculated as if the Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment was reduced to zero and each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment had been increased proportionately); provided that (a) the sum of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s total Revolving Credit Exposure may not in any event exceed the Revolving Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation and (b) neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender; and
(ii)    to the extent that any portion (the “unreallocated portion”) of the obligations of such Defaulting Lender to purchase participations in LOC Obligations and Swingline Loans cannot be reallocated pursuant to clause (i) for any reason the Borrower will, not later than two (2) Business Days after demand by the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Issuing Lender and/or the Swingline Lender), (A) Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Defaulting Lender to the applicable Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender in respect of such obligation to purchase participations in LOC Obligations and Swingline Loans, as the case may be, in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated portion of such Defaulting Lender’s obligation to purchase participations in LOC Obligations and

CHAR1\1351553v8                    67


Swingline Loans, (B) in the case of such obligation to purchase participations in Swingline Loans, prepay and/or Cash Collateralize in full the unreallocated portion thereof, or (C) make other arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender in their sole discretion to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender.

(b)    If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender agree in writing in their discretion that any Defaulting Lender has ceased to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, the LC Exposure and the Swingline Exposure of the other Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment, and such Lender will purchase at par such portion of outstanding Revolving Loans of the other Lenders and/or make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Credit Exposure of the Lenders to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender (and such Revolving Credit Exposure of each Lender will automatically be adjusted on a prospective basis to reflect the foregoing). If any Cash Collateral has been posted with respect to the Participation Interests in the LOC Obligations and Swingline Loans of such Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will promptly return such Cash Collateral to the Borrower; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such 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 Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
SECTION 4    

GUARANTY
4.1    The Guaranty.
Each of the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantees to each Lender, each Affiliate of a Lender or Secured Hedge Provider that enters into a Secured Hedging Agreement or Cash Management Bank that enters into a Cash Management Agreement, and the Administrative Agent as hereinafter provided, as primary obligor and not as surety, the prompt payment of the Credit Party Obligations in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) strictly in accordance with the terms thereof. The Guarantors hereby further agree that if any of the Credit Party Obligations are not paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise), the Guarantors will, jointly and severally, promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Credit Party Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Credit Documents, Secured Hedging Agreements or Cash Management Agreements, the obligations of each Guarantor under this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall be limited to an

CHAR1\1351553v8                    68


aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such obligations subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law.
4.2    Obligations Unconditional.
The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 4.1 are joint and several, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Credit Documents, Secured Hedging Agreements or Cash Management Agreements, or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, or any substitution, release, impairment or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Credit Party Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 4.2 that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against the Borrower or any other Guarantor for amounts paid under this Section 4 until such time as the Credit Party Obligations have been Fully Satisfied. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:
(i)    at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Credit Party Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;
(j)    any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of any of the Credit Documents, any Secured Hedging Agreement or Cash Management Agreement between the Borrower and any Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Credit Documents or such Secured Hedging Agreements or Cash Management Agreements shall be done or omitted;
(k)    the maturity of any of the Credit Party Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Credit Party Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under any of the Credit Documents, any Secured Hedging Agreement or Cash Management Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Credit Documents or such Secured Hedging Agreements or Cash Management Agreements shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Credit Party Obligations or any security therefor shall be released, impaired or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;
(l)    any Lien granted to, or in favor of, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Lenders as security for any of the Credit Party Obligations shall fail to attach or be perfected; or
(m)    any of the Credit Party Obligations shall be determined to be void or voidable (including, without limitation, for the benefit of any creditor of any Guarantor) or shall be subordinated to the claims of any Person (including, without limitation, any creditor of any Guarantor).

CHAR1\1351553v8                    69


With respect to its obligations hereunder, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Person under any of the Credit Documents, any Secured Hedging Agreement or Cash Management Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Credit Documents or such Secured Hedging Agreements or Cash Management Agreements, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Credit Party Obligations.
4.3    Reinstatement.
The obligations of the Guarantors under this Section 4 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Credit Party Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Credit Party Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.
4.4    Reserved.
4.5    Remedies.
The Guarantors agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, the Credit Party Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 9.2 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in said Section 9.2) for purposes of Section 4.1 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing the Credit Party Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or the Credit Party Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), the Credit Party Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 4.1. The Guarantors acknowledge and agree that their obligations hereunder are secured in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents and that the Lenders may exercise their remedies thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof.
4.6    Rights of Contribution.
The Guarantors hereby agree as among themselves that, if any Guarantor shall make an Excess Payment (as defined below), such Guarantor shall have a right of contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s Contribution Share (as defined below) of such Excess Payment. The payment obligations of any Guarantor under this Section 4.6 shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Credit Party Obligations until such time as the Credit Party Obligations have been Fully Satisfied, and none of the Guarantors shall exercise any right or remedy under this Section 4.6 against any other Guarantor until such Credit Party Obligations have been Fully Satisfied. For purposes of this Section 4.6, (a) “Excess Payment” shall mean the amount paid by any Guarantor in excess of its Pro Rata Share of any Credit Party Obligations; (b) “Pro Rata Share” shall mean, for any Guarantor in respect of any payment of Credit Party

This Section 4.6 shall not be deemed to affect any right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution that any Guarantor may have under applicable law against the Borrower in respect of any payment of Credit Party Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all rights of contribution against any Guarantor shall terminate from and after such time, if ever, that such Guarantor shall be relieved of its obligations pursuant to Section 8.5.

The guarantee in this Section 4 is a guaranty of payment and not of collection, is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Credit Party Obligations whenever arising.
4.8    Eligible Contract Participant.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document, no Guarantor shall be deemed under this Section 4 to be a guarantor of any Swap Obligations if such Guarantor was not an “eligible contract participant” as defined in § 1a(18) of the Commodity Exchange Act, at the time the guarantee under this Section 4 becomes effective with respect to such Swap Obligation and to the extent that the providing of such guarantee by such Guarantor would violate the Commodity Exchange Act; provided however that in determining whether any Guarantor is an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act, the guarantee of the Credit Party Obligations of

CHAR1\1351553v8                    71


such Guarantor under this Section 4 by a Guarantor that is also a Qualified ECP Guarantor shall be taken into account.
4.9    Keepwell.
Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Credit Party to honor all of its obligations under this Credit Agreement in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 4.9 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 4.9, or otherwise under this Credit Agreement, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until the Credit Party Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 4.9 constitute, and this Section 4.9 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Credit Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

(f)    The Issuing Lender shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith until such time and except for so long as the Administrative Agent may agree at the request of the Requisite Lenders to act for the Issuing Lender with respect thereto; provided, that the Issuing Lender shall have all the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Section with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the Issuing Lender in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the application and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to the Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in this Article included the Issuing Lender with respect to such acts or omissions and (ii) as additionally provided in this Credit Agreement with respect to the Issuing Lender.
10.2    Nature of Duties of Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except those discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Credit Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Requisite Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.6), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Credit Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Credit Parties or any of their Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it, its sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact with the consent or at the request of the Requisite Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.6) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact

CHAR1\1351553v8                    102


selected by it with reasonable care. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof (which notice shall include an express reference to such event being a “Default” or “Event of Default” hereunder) is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or any Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Credit Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements, or other terms and conditions set forth in any Credit Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Credit Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 5 or elsewhere in any Credit Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower) concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.
10.3    Lack of Reliance on the Administrative Agent.
Each of the Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Credit Agreement. Each of the Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking of any action under or based on this Credit Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
10.4    Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent.
If the Administrative Agent shall request instructions from the Requisite Lenders with respect to any action or actions (including the failure to act) in connection with this Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such act, unless and until it shall have received instructions from such Lenders; and the Administrative Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. 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 hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders where required by the terms of this Credit Agreement.
10.5    Reliance by Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent may also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

CHAR1\1351553v8                    103


10.6    The Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity.
The bank serving as the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Credit Agreement and any other Credit Document in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the terms “Lenders”, “Requisite Lenders”, or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The bank acting as the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.
10.7    Successor Administrative Agent.
(a)    The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, subject to the approval by the Borrower provided that no Default or Event of Default shall exist at such time. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or a bank which maintains an office in the United States.
(b)    If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Requisite Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor.
(c)    Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents. If within 45 days after written notice is given of the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation under this Section 10.7 no successor Administrative Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, then on such 45th day (i) the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective, (ii) the retiring Administrative Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Credit Documents and (iii) the Requisite Lenders shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents until such time as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent and its representatives and agents in respect of any actions taken or not taken by any of them while it was serving as the Administrative Agent.
(d)    In addition to the foregoing, if a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, and if any Default has arisen from a failure of the Borrower to comply with Section 3.18 then the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender may, upon prior written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, resign as Issuing Lender or as Swingline Lender, as the

CHAR1\1351553v8                    104


case may be, effective at the close of business Atlanta, Georgia time on a date specified in such notice (which date may not be less than five (5) Business Days after the date of such notice).
10.8    Withholding Tax.
To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent that the Administrative Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any out of pocket expenses.
10.9    Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.
(d)    In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any LOC Obligations shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(viii)    to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans; or LOC Obligations and all other Credit Party Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent under Section 11.5) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(ix)    to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and
(e)    Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the Issuing Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Lender, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 11.5.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the Issuing Lender any plan of

CHAR1\1351553v8                    105


reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Credit Party Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.
10.10    Authorization to Execute other Credit Documents.
Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute on behalf of all Lenders all Credit Documents other than this Credit Agreement.
10.11    Documentation Agent; Syndication Agent.
Each Lender hereby designates Fifth Third Bank, KeyBank National Association and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as Co-Documentation Agents (each in such capacity, a “Co-Documentation Agent”) and agrees that the Co-Documentation Agents shall have no duties or obligations under any Credit Documents to any Lender or any Credit Party. Each Lender hereby designates Bank of America, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Co-Syndication Agents (each in such capacity, a “Co-Syndication Agent”) and agrees that the Co-Syndication Agents shall have no duties or obligations under any Credit Documents to any Lender or any Credit Party.

Each other Lender may change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender.

CHAR1\1351553v8                    108

(h)    Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in LOC Obligations and in Swingline Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
(iv)    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 subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the 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 $1,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met.
(v)    Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s Loans and Commitments, and rights and obligations with respect thereto, assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not (A) apply to the Swingline Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swingline Loans or (B) prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations in

CHAR1\1351553v8                    109


respect of its Revolving Commitment (and the related Revolving Loans thereunder) and its outstanding Term Loans on a non‑pro rata basis;
(vi)    Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:
(A)    the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (it being understood that disapproval of a proposed assignee by the Borrower because an assignment to such assignee would require the Credit Parties to incur increased costs or pay additional amounts (including Taxes and Other Taxes) under this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Documents shall be deemed to be a reasonable exercise of the Borrower’s rights hereunder)) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided, that the consent of the Borrower shall be deemed received if the Borrower has not indicated its disapproval in writing within 10 Business Days of receiving a written request for consent from the Administrative Agent;
(B)    the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (1) the Revolving Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Revolving Commitment and (2) any Term Loan to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;
(C)    the consent of the Issuing Lender (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

The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

CHAR1\1351553v8                    110


Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Credit Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Credit Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Credit Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.6, 3.9, 3.11, 3.12, and 11.5 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Credit Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

(i)    Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption 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 and LOC Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Credit 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.
(j)    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 Credit Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in LOC Obligations and/or Swingline Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Credit Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement.
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 Credit Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Credit Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 11.6 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.6, 3.9, 3.11 and 3.12 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.11(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.11(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant

CHAR1\1351553v8                    111


also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.2 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.14 as though it were a Lender.
Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Credit Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Credit Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(k)    Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.6, 3.9 or 3.11 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.
(l)    Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Credit Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central 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.
(m)    Resignation as Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time SunTrust assigns all of its Revolving Commitment and Revolving Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, SunTrust may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as Issuing Lender and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower, resign as Swingline Lender. In the event of any such resignation as Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender hereunder with such Lender’s consent; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of SunTrust as Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, as the case may be. If SunTrust resigns as Issuing Lender, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Issuing Lender hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Issuing Lender and all LOC Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.2(c)). If SunTrust resigns as Swingline Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swingline Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swingline Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.3(b). Upon the appointment of a successor Issuing Lender and/or Swingline Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and

CHAR1\1351553v8                    112


duties of the retiring Issuing Lender or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor Issuing Lender shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to SunTrust to effectively assume the obligations of SunTrust with respect to such Letters of Credit.
11.4    No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.
No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between the Administrative Agent or any Lender and any of the Credit Parties shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Administrative Agent or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle the Credit Parties to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.
11.5    Expenses; Indemnification.
(c)    The Credit Parties shall pay (i) all reasonable out‑of‑pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and their Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one outside counsel to the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and their Affiliates, taken as a whole (except to the extent that the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or their Affiliates determines that separate counsel is necessary to avoid a conflict of interest) (and, if necessary, one local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (except to the extent that the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or their Affiliates determines that separate counsel is necessary to avoid a conflict of interest)), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable out‑of‑pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Lender in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all out‑of‑pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any outside counsel for the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out‑of‑pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.
(d)    The Credit Parties shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub‑agent thereof), each Lender and the Issuing Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of one outside counsel for any Indemnitee (except to the extent that such Indemnitee determines that separate counsel is necessary to avoid a conflict of interest) (and, if necessary, one local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (except to the extent that such Indemnitee determines

CHAR1\1351553v8                    113


that separate counsel is necessary to avoid a conflict of interest)), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Credit Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub‑agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Lender to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Materials of Environmental Concern on or from any property owned or operated by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or any liability under Environmental Laws related in any way to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Credit Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Credit Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Credit Document, if the Borrower or such Credit Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. This Section 11.5(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.
(e)    Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower or any Credit Party for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub‑agent thereof), the Issuing Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender (other than the Term Loan Lenders with respect to indemnification of the Issuing Lender) severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub‑agent), the Issuing Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Commitment Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub‑agent) or the Issuing Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub‑agent) or Issuing Lender in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 3.14.
(f)    Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Credit Parties shall not assert, and hereby waive, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such

CHAR1\1351553v8                    114


Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(g)    Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after demand therefor.
(h)    Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Credit Party Obligations.
11.6    Amendments, Waivers and Consents.
Neither this Credit Agreement nor any other Credit Document nor any of the terms hereof or thereof may be amended, changed, waived, discharged or terminated unless such amendment, change, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing entered into by, or approved in writing by, each of the Credit Parties party thereto and the Requisite Lenders and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, provided, however, that:

(xii)    reduce or waive the principal amount of any Loan or of any reimbursement obligation, or any portion thereof, arising from drawings under Letters of Credit,
(xiii)    increase the Commitment of a Lender over the amount thereof in effect (it being understood and agreed that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or mandatory reduction in the Commitments shall not constitute a change in the terms of any Commitment of any Lender) or extend the expiration or termination date of the Commitment of a Lender,
(xiv)    consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower or all or substantially all of the other Credit Parties of any of its or their rights and obligations under (or in respect of) the Credit Documents except as permitted thereby; or

(g)    without the written consent of the Administrative Agent, no provision of Section 10 or any other provision of any Credit Agreement pertaining to the duties and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent may be amended, changed, waived, discharged or terminated;
(h)    without the written consent of the Issuing Lender(s), no provision of Section 2.2 may be amended, changed, waived, discharged or terminated;
(i)    without the written consent of the Swingline Lender, no provision of Section 2.3 may be amended, changed, waived, discharged or terminated;
(j)    unless also signed by Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders) holding in the aggregate at least a majority of the Revolving Commitments (or if the Revolving Commitments have been terminated, the outstanding Revolving Loans (and participations in any LOC Obligations)), no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:
(i)    waive any Default or Event of Default for purposes of Section 5.2,
(ii)    amend or waive any mandatory prepayment on the Revolving Loans under Section 3.3(b) or the manner of application thereof to the Revolving Loans under Section 3.3(b)(v); or

(i)    amend or waive any mandatory prepayment on such tranche of Term Loans under Section 3.3(b) or the manner of application thereof to the tranche of Term Loans under Section 3.3(b)(v), or

CHAR1\1351553v8                    116


(ii)    amend or waive the provisions of this Section 11.6(g);
Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all the Lenders is required in certain circumstances as set forth above, (x) 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 (y) the Requisite Lenders shall determine whether or not to allow a Credit Party to use cash collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding and such determination shall be binding on all of the Lenders.
For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Section 11.6, this Credit Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Credit Parties and the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.5 and Section 2.6. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein the Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time, make one or more offers (each, a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all of the Lenders of any class to make one or more amendments or modifications to (A) allow the maturity and scheduled amortization of the Loans and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders (as defined below) to be extended and (B) increase the Applicable Margins and/or the Unused Fees set forth in the Applicable Percentage payable with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the Accepting Lenders (“Permitted Amendments”) pursuant to procedures reasonably specified by the Administrative Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective. Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Loans and/or Commitments of the Lenders that accept the applicable Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”) and, in the case of any Accepting Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Loans and/or Commitments as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made. The Borrower, each Credit Party and each Accepting Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an agreement containing the terms of the Permitted Amendments (a “Loan Modification Agreement”) and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Loan Modification Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Loan Modification Agreement, this Credit Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Permitted Amendment evidenced thereby and only with respect to the Loans and Commitments of the Accepting Lenders as to which such Lenders’ acceptance has been made.
No amendment, modification or waiver of this Credit Agreement or any Credit Document altering the ratable treatment of Credit Party Obligations arising under Secured Hedging Agreements or Cash Management Agreements resulting in such Credit Party Obligations being junior in right of payment to principal on the Loans or resulting in Credit Party Obligations owing to any Secured Hedge Provider or Cash Management Bank becoming unsecured (other than releases of Liens affecting all Lenders and otherwise permitted in accordance with the terms hereof), in each case in a manner adverse to any Secured Hedge Provider or Cash Management Bank, shall be effective without the written consent of such Secured Hedge Provider or Cash Management Bank.

Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or to otherwise proceed against any Credit Party in any other jurisdiction.
(d)    Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document brought in the courts referred to in clause (a) above and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

11.14    Confidentiality.
Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self‑regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Credit Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in,

CHAR1\1351553v8                    119


any of its rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to a Credit Party and its obligations (so long as such actual or prospective counterparty or its advisor (i) has been approved in writing by the Borrower and (ii) agrees in a writing enforceable by the Borrower to be bound by the provisions of this Section 11.14), (g) with the consent of the Borrower, (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Issuing Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or (i) in connection with any pledge or assignment pursuant to Section 11.3(f) so long as such pledgee or assignee agrees to be bound by the terms of this Section 11.14.

Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lender acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non‑public information concerning a Credit Party or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non‑public information and (c) it will handle such material non‑public information in accordance with applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws.
11.1    Conflict.

L. 107‑56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the Act.
11.3    No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.
In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Credit Document), each of the Credit Parties acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Credit Agreement provided

CHAR1\1351553v8                    120


by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders are arm’s‑length commercial transactions between the Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders, on the other hand, (B) each of the Credit Parties has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) each of the Credit Parties is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Credit Documents; (ii) (A) the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders each is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Credit Parties or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers nor the Lenders has any obligation to the Credit Parties or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers nor the Lenders has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates.

If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Credit Party Obligations hereunder.

Schedule 6.10

TAXES

The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) completed its tax audit of Parent for the years 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. Parent received three Notices of Proposed Assessments from the IRS. In connection therewith, the IRS issued a Revenue Agent Report (“RAR”) to the Parent related to its completed tax examination. The RAR seeks adjustments to the Parent’s taxable income for 2007-2010 and net operating loss carry-forwards from 2005-2006. The adjustments to the Parent’s taxable income relate to the proposed disallowance of certain per diems paid to clinicians and locum tenens providers on the Parent’s income tax return. Concurrent with the RAR, the Parent received an Employment Tax Examination Report (“ETER”) for 2009 and 2010. The ETER adjustments propose additional payroll tax liabilities and penalties related to the treatment of certain non-taxable per diem allowances and travel benefits. The positions in the RAR and ETER are mutually exclusive. The RAR and ETER contain multiple tax positions, some of which are contrary to each other.

The Parent filed a Protest Letter for both the RAR and ETER and intends to defend its position. The Parent believes its reserve for unrecognized tax benefits and contingent tax issues as set forth in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2013 is adequate. Notwithstanding, the Parent could adjust its provision for income taxes and or contingent tax liability based on future developments.

Exhibit 10.1

THIRD AMENDMENT TO OFFICE LEASE
This THIRD AMENDMENT TO OFFICE LEASE ("Third Amendment") is made and entered into as of the 30th day of June, 2014, by and between KILROY REALTY, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Landlord"), and AMN HEALTHCARE, INC., a Nevada corporation ("Tenant").
R E C I T A L S :
A.Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain Office Lease, dated April 2, 2002 (the "Office Lease"), as amended by that certain First Amendment to Office Lease dated as of May 31, 2002 (the "First Amendment"), and as amended by that certain Second Amendment to Office Lease dated as of June 30, 2006 (the "Second Amendment") (the Office Lease, First Amendment and Second Amendment are, collectively, the "Lease"), whereby Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord approximately 175,672 rentable (164,128 usable) square feet of space (the "Premises") consisting of all of the first (1st), second (2nd), third (3rd), fourth (4th) and fifth (5th) floors of that certain six (6) story building located at 12400 High Bluff Drive, San Diego, California 92130 (the "Building"), which Building contains a total of approximately 208,961 rentable (195,264 usable) square feet of space.
B.The parties desire to amend the Lease on the terms and conditions set forth in this Third Amendment.
A G R E E M E N T :
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1.Capitalized Terms. All capitalized terms when used herein shall have the same respective meanings as are given such terms in the Lease unless expressly provided otherwise in this Third Amendment.
2.    Stipulation of Rentable Square Feet. For purposes of the Lease, as amended, the "rentable square feet" of the Premises shall be deemed to be as set forth in Recital A of this Third Amendment.
3.    Lease Term.
3.1    Extended Term. The Lease Term is scheduled to expire on July 31, 2018. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to further extend the Lease Term for a period of nine (9) years, through and including July 31, 2027, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Third Amendment, unless sooner terminated as provided in the Lease, as hereby amended. Notwithstanding the originally scheduled expiration date, the period of time commencing on January 1, 2015, and ending on July 31, 2027, shall be referred to herein as the "Extended Term."
3.2    Option to Extend Lease Term. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Lease, as hereby amended, Tenant shall continue to have two (2) options to extend the Lease Term, each for a period of five (5) years (each, an "Option Term") pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in Section 2.2 of the Office Lease ("Extension Right"). Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in the Lease, effective as of the date of this Third Amendment (i) the first sentence of Section 2.2.1 of the Office Lease is hereby deleted, (ii) all references to the "Option Premises" contained in Section 2.2 of the Office Lease are hereby deleted and replaced with the "Premises," and (iii) all references contained in Section 2.2 of the Office Lease to the "Lease Term" are hereby deleted and replaced with the "Extended Term, or Option Term, as applicable". Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision to the contrary in the Lease, as amended, the Option Rent, as defined in Section 2.2.2 of the Office Lease, shall be equal to the lesser of (i) an amount equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the Market Rent, as determined pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Office Lease, and (ii) the corresponding schedule of rent set forth in Section 4, below, attributable to the appropriate periods occurring during the Option Terms (the "Option Rent

Exhibit 10.1

Cap"). To the extent that the Option Rent Cap is determined to be the Option Rent (i.e., the Option Rent Cap is less than the determined ninety five percent (95%) of the Market Rent) then any improvement allowance to which Tenant would otherwise be entitled under the determined Market Rent shall be reduced by the then present value amount of the difference between such Option Rent Cap and the 95% of Market Rent rental stream that would have otherwise, but for such Option Rent Cap, been the Option Rent. To the extent Tenant would be entitled to an improvement allowance in conjunction with a determined Market Rent, the portion of the Market Rent corresponding to such improvement allowance shall be determined as the missing component of an annuity, which annuity has (i) the amount of the determined improvement allowance as the present value amount, (ii) sixty (60) as the number of payments, (iii) seventy point eighty-three one‑hundredths percent (.7083%), which is equal to eight and one-half percent (8.5%) divided by twelve (12) months per year, as the monthly interest factor and (iv) the corresponding portion of the Monthly Installment of Base Rent as the missing component of the annuity. For purposes of example, if the ninety-five percent (95%) of Market Rent would have resulted in a Monthly Installment of Base Rent of $1,000,000.00, the corresponding Option Rent Cap is $982,174.08 (i.e., the Lease Year 13 Option Rent Cap), and the missing component of the annuity were $25,000 per month, then the "net effective" market rent (i.e., less any improvement allowance component) would be $975,000.00, and the portion of the improvement allowance to which Tenant would be entitled would be the present value amount in an annuity formula with the same number of payments (60), the same monthly interest factor (.7083%) and a monthly installment payment of $7,174.08.
3.3    No Termination Right. The parties acknowledge and agree that Tenant's termination right set forth in Section 2.3 of the Office Lease shall, effective as of the date of this Third Amendment, be deleted and of no further force or effect.
4.    Base Rent. Prior to January 1, 2015, Tenant shall continue to pay monthly installments of Base Rent for the Premises in accordance with the terms of the Lease, as amended. During the Extended Term, Tenant shall pay (which payments shall otherwise be in accordance with the terms of the Lease, as amended) monthly installments of Base Rent for the Premises as follows:

otherwise required under the Lease, as hereby amended. If Tenant shall be in monetary or material non-monetary default under the Lease, as hereby amended, and shall fail to cure such default within the notice and cure period, if any, permitted under the Lease, as hereby amended, then Landlord may at its option, by notice to Tenant, elect, in addition to any other remedies Landlord may have under the Lease, as hereby amended, that the dollar amount of the unapplied portion of the Base Rent Abatement as of the date of such default or termination shall be converted to a credit to be applied to the Base Rent applicable to the Premises at the end of the Extended Term and Tenant shall immediately be obligated to begin paying Base Rent for the Premises in full.
4.2    Additional Rent. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in the Lease, as hereby amended, prior to January 1, 2015, Tenant shall continue to pay the Tenant's Share of the annual Direct Expenses for the Premises in accordance with the terms of and conditions of the Lease.

4.3    Cap on Controllable Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Article 4 of the Office Lease, in no event shall "Controllable Expenses" (as that term is defined below) for any Expense Year following the 2016 Expense Year exceed the amount such Controllable Expenses would have been had they increased at a rate of five percent (5%) per annum.

4.4    Audit Right. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that, during the Extended Term and continuing during the Option Terms, Tenant shall continue to have audit rights as set forth in Section 4.6 of the Office Lease.
5.    Parking.

Tenant's parking passes shall be without charge for the Extended Term and any Option Term, if applicable (excepting only any parking taxes or other charges imposed by governmental authorities in connection with the use of such parking). Except as set forth in this Section 5, Tenant's rental and use of all such parking passes shall be in accordance with the provisions of Article 28 of the Office Lease.
6.    Card Key Access. Except when and where Tenant's right of access is specifically excluded in the Lease, as hereby amended, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that Tenant shall have the right of access to the Premises, the Building, and the Project parking facility twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week during the Extended Term.

system (the "Card Key Access System") in the Building, elevators and parking structure, subject to Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that Tenant shall coordinate the installation and operation of Tenant's Card Key Access System with Landlord to assure that Tenant's Card Key Access System is compatible with the Building, elevators and parking structure access systems and the systems and equipment of the Building; provided that it shall be deemed reasonable for Landlord to withhold or condition such approval to the extent that Tenant's Card Key Access System is not compatible with the Building, elevators and parking structure access systems or the systems and equipment of the Building. Tenant shall be solely responsible, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, for the monitoring and operation of Tenant's Card Key Access System. Notwithstanding Tenant's Card Key Access System, Tenant shall ensure Landlord retains access to the Premises in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lease. Notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall not be required to remove Tenant's Card Key Access System upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, provided that in the event that Tenant does not remove its Card Key Access System upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, Tenant shall turn over to Landlord the control system for Tenant's Card Key Access System to enable the continued use thereof.
7.Refurbishments in the Premises. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that Tenant is currently in occupancy of the Premises, and subject to the existing TCC's of the Lease (including without limitation, Landlord's ongoing repair and maintenance obligations as set forth in the Lease and Landlord's obligation to provide services and utilities as set forth in the Lease), Landlord shall not be obligated to provide or pay for any improvement work or services related to the improvement of the Premises, and Tenant shall continue to accept the Premises in its presently existing, “as-is” condition, except as otherwise provided in the Alterations Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B. All "Refurbishment" (as defined in the Alterations Agreement) shall be performed in accordance with the terms of Article 8 of the Office Lease.
8.Removal of Improvements. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in the Lease, effective as of the date of this Third Amendment, Landlord hereby waives any ongoing right to require removal of any currently existing improvements, including any Extraordinary Alterations currently existing in the Premises, and any future Alterations approved by Landlord pursuant to Section 7 of this Third Amendment and the corresponding Alterations Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with regard to any future Alterations, Landlord may only require removal thereof by identifying the same for removal at the time of Landlord's consent to such Alterations, provided, however, in no event shall Landlord require removal of any Cosmetic Alterations or any Alterations for which the Refurbishment Allowance is utilized.
9.Letter of Credit. Effective as of the date of this Third Amendment, Landlord shall cause the Security Deposit then held by Landlord to be returned to Tenant in the manner directed by Tenant promptly after Landlord's receipt of the L—C (as defined in the amended and restated Section 21.1 of the Office Lease); provided, however, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that Tenant shall be deemed to satisfy its L-C obligation and the terms of Article 21 of the Lease (as amended and restated below), by causing Bank of America, effective as of the date of this Third Amendment, to (i) amend the existing letter of credit, or (ii) replace the existing letter of credit with a new L-C on substantially the same underlying form, in either event with the resulting amended or replacement L-C having the reduced "L-C Amount" (as identified below) of $2,000,000 and providing for annual extensions through the "L-C Expiration Date" (as identified below) (as applicable, the "BofA L-C").

Tenant shall pay all expenses, points and/or fees incurred by Tenant in obtaining the L-C. The L-C shall (i) be "callable" at sight, irrevocable and unconditional, (ii) be maintained in effect, whether through renewal or extension, for the period commencing on the date of this Lease and continuing until the date (the "L-C Expiration Date") that is no less than one hundred twenty (120) days after the expiration of the Lease Term as the same may be extended, and Tenant shall deliver a new L-C or certificate of renewal or extension to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the L-C then held by Landlord, without any action whatsoever on the part of Landlord, (iii) be fully assignable by Landlord, its successors and assigns, with a processing fee of no more than $1000 per assignment (unless and to the extent such a capped processing fee is no longer available on a commercially reasonable basis from Banks satisfying the Bank's Credit Rating Threshold for letters of credit in the amount of the L-C, in which case such processing fee cap shall be increased to the amount then available on a commercially reasonable basis), (iv) permit partial draws and multiple presentations and drawings, and (v) be otherwise subject to the International Standby Practices-ISP 98, International Chamber of Commerce Publication #590. Landlord, or its then managing agent, shall have the right to draw down an amount up to the face amount of the L‑C if any of the following shall have occurred or be applicable: (A) Tenant is in default beyond any applicable notice or cure periods in the payment of such amount is due to Landlord under the terms and conditions of this Lease, or (B) Tenant has filed a voluntary petition under the U. S. Bankruptcy Code or any state bankruptcy code (collectively, "Bankruptcy Code"), or (C) an involuntary petition has been filed against Tenant under the Bankruptcy Code, or (D) the Lease has been rejected, or is deemed rejected, under Section 365 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, following the filing of a voluntary petition by Tenant under the Bankruptcy Code, or the filing of an involuntary petition against Tenant under the Bankruptcy Code, or (E) the Bank has notified Landlord that the L‑C will not be renewed or extended through the L‑C Expiration Date and Tenant fails to timely replace the same in accordance with the terms of this Section 21.1, or (F) Tenant is placed into receivership or conservatorship, or becomes subject to similar proceedings under Federal or State law, or (G) Tenant executes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (H) if any of the Bank's Fitch Ratings (or other comparable ratings to the extent the Fitch Ratings are no longer available) have been reduced below the Bank's Credit Rating Threshold, and Tenant has failed to provide Landlord with a replacement letter of credit, conforming in all respects to the requirements of this Article 21 (including, but not limited to, the requirements placed on the issuing Bank more particularly set forth in this Section 21.1 above), in the amount of the applicable L‑C Amount, within ten (10) business days following Landlord’s written demand therefor (with no other notice or cure or grace period being applicable thereto, notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary) (each of the foregoing being an "L‑C Draw Event"). The L‑C shall be honored by the Bank regardless of whether Tenant disputes Landlord's right to draw upon the L‑C. In addition, in the event the Bank is placed into receivership or conservatorship by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any successor or similar entity, then, effective as of the date such receivership or conservatorship occurs, said L‑C shall be deemed to fail to meet the requirements of this Article 21, and, within ten (10) business days following Landlord's notice to Tenant of such receivership or conservatorship (the "L‑C FDIC Replacement Notice"), Tenant shall replace such L‑C with a substitute letter of credit from a different issuer (which issuer shall

be acceptable to Landlord in its reasonable discretion) and that complies in all respects with the requirements of this Article 21. If Tenant fails to replace such L‑C with such conforming, substitute letter of credit pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section 21.1, then, notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall have the right to declare Tenant in default of this Lease for which there shall be no notice or grace or cure periods being applicable thereto (other than the aforesaid ten (10) business day period). Tenant shall be responsible for the payment of any and all costs incurred with the review of any replacement L‑C (including without limitation Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees), which replacement is required pursuant to this Section or is otherwise requested by Tenant. In the event of an assignment by Tenant of its interest in the Lease (and irrespective of whether Landlord's consent is required for such assignment), the acceptance of any replacement or substitute letter of credit by Landlord from the assignee shall be subject to Landlord's prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and the reasonable attorney's fees incurred by Landlord in connection with such determination shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) business days of billing; provided that it shall be deemed reasonable for Landlord to withhold, condition or delay its approval of such replacement or substitute letter of credit if the same does not conform with the terms and conditions of this Article 21.
21.2    Application of L‑C. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Landlord is entering into this Lease in material reliance upon the ability of Landlord to draw upon the L‑C upon the occurrence of any L‑C Draw Event. In the event of any L‑C Draw Event, Landlord may, but without obligation to do so, and without notice to Tenant (except in connection with an L-C Draw Event under Section 21.1(H) above), draw upon the L‑C, in part or in whole, to cure any such L-C Draw Event and/or to compensate Landlord for any and all damages of any kind or nature sustained or which Landlord reasonably estimates that it will sustain resulting from any L-C Draw Event and/or to compensate Landlord for any and all damages arising out of, or incurred in connection with, the termination of this Lease as a result of Tenant's breach or default, including, without limitation, those specifically identified in Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code. The use, application or retention of the L‑C, or any portion thereof, by Landlord shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided by this Lease or by any applicable law, it being intended that Landlord shall not first be required to proceed against the L‑C, and such L‑C shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Landlord may otherwise be entitled. Tenant agrees not to interfere in any way with payment to Landlord of the proceeds of the L‑C, either prior to or following a "draw" by Landlord of any portion of the L‑C, regardless of whether any dispute exists between Tenant and Landlord as to Landlord's right to draw upon the L‑C; provided, however, nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prohibit Tenant from challenging the validity or amount of this draw after the draw date occurs pursuant to Section 21.7. No condition or term of this Lease shall be deemed to render the L‑C conditional to justify the issuer of the L‑C in failing to honor a drawing upon such L‑C in a timely manner. Tenant agrees and acknowledges that (i) the L‑C constitutes a separate and independent contract between Landlord and the Bank, (ii) Tenant is not a third party beneficiary of such contract, (iii) Tenant has no property interest whatsoever in the L‑C or the proceeds thereof, and (iv) in the event Tenant becomes a debtor under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, Tenant is placed into receivership or conservatorship, and/or there is an event of a receivership, conservatorship or a bankruptcy filing by, or on behalf of, Tenant, neither Tenant, any trustee, nor Tenant's bankruptcy estate shall have any right to restrict or limit Landlord's claim and/or rights to the L‑C and/or the proceeds thereof by application of Section 502(b)(6) of the U. S. Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.
21.3    L-C Amount; Maintenance of L-C by Tenant; Liquidated Damages.
21.3.1    Calculation of L-C Amount. The L-C Amount shall, at any and all times during the Lease Term, be equal to Two Million and 00/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00).
21.3.2    In General. If, as a result of any drawing by Landlord of all or any portion of the L-C, the amount of the L-C shall be less than the L-C Amount, Tenant shall, within five (5) business days thereafter, provide Landlord with additional letter(s) of credit in an amount equal to the deficiency, and any such additional letter(s) of credit shall comply with all of the provisions of this Article 21, and if Tenant fails to comply with the foregoing, the same shall be subject to the terms of Section 21.3.3 below. Tenant further covenants and warrants that it will neither assign nor encumber the L-C or any part thereof and that neither Landlord nor its successors

or assigns will be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the L-C expires earlier than the L‑C Expiration Date, Landlord will accept a renewal thereof (such renewal letter of credit to be in effect and delivered to Landlord, as applicable, not later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the L-C), which shall be irrevocable and automatically renewable as above provided through the L‑C Expiration Date upon the same terms as the expiring L‑C or such other terms as may be acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion. If Tenant exercises its option to extend the Lease Term pursuant to Section 3.2 of this Third Amendment then, not later than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the commencement of the Option Term, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a new L C or certificate of renewal or extension evidencing the L-C Expiration Date as one hundred twenty (120) days after the expiration of the Option Term. However, if the L‑C is not timely renewed, or if Tenant fails to maintain the L‑C in the amount and in accordance with the terms set forth in this Article 21, Landlord shall have the right to either (x) present the L‑C to the Bank in accordance with the terms of this Article 21, and the proceeds of the L-C may be applied by Landlord against any Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease that is not paid when due and/or to pay for all losses and damages that Landlord has suffered or that Landlord reasonably estimates that it will suffer as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease, or (y) pursue its remedy under Section 21.3.3 below. In the event Landlord elects to exercise its rights under the foregoing item (x), (I) any unused proceeds shall constitute the property of Landlord (and not Tenant’s property or, in the event of a receivership, conservatorship, or a bankruptcy filing by, or on behalf of, Tenant, property of such receivership, conservatorship or Tenant’s bankruptcy estate) and need not be segregated from Landlord’s other assets, and (II) Landlord agrees to pay to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the L‑C Expiration Date the amount of any proceeds of the L-C received by Landlord and not applied against any Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease that was not paid when due or used to pay for any losses and/or damages suffered by Landlord (or reasonably estimated by Landlord that it will suffer) as a result of any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease; provided, however, that if prior to the L‑C Expiration Date a voluntary petition is filed by Tenant, or an involuntary petition is filed against Tenant by any of Tenant’s creditors, under the Bankruptcy Code, then Landlord shall not be obligated to make such payment in the amount of the unused L-C proceeds until either all preference issues relating to payments under this Lease have been resolved in such bankruptcy or reorganization case or such bankruptcy or reorganization case has been dismissed.
21.3.3    FAILURE TO MAINTAIN; REPLACE AND/OR REINSTATE L‑C; LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. IN THE EVENT THAT TENANT FAILS, WITHIN (I) THAT PERIOD SET FORTH IN SECTION 21.3.2 ABOVE, OR (II) THAT PERIOD SET FORTH IN THE L-C FDIC REPLACEMENT NOTICE, TO PROVIDE LANDLORD WITH ADDITIONAL L-C(S) IN AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE DEFICIENCY OR A REPLACEMENT L-C (AS APPLICABLE), THEN TENANT'S MONTHLY INSTALLMENT OF BASE RENT SHALL BE INCREASED TO ONE HUNDRED TEN PERCENT (110%) OF ITS OTHERWISE EXISTING LEVEL DURING THE PERIOD COMMENCING ON THE DATE WHICH IS THE LAST DAY OF THE PERIOD IDENTIFIED IN SECTION 21.3.2 OR THE L-C FDIC REPLACEMENT NOTICE (AS APPLICABLE), AND ENDING ON THE EARLIER TO OCCUR OF (X) THE DATE TENANT PROVIDES LANDLORD WITH ADDITIONAL L-C(S) IN AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE DEFICIENCY AS CONTEMPLATED BY THE TERMS OF SECTION 21.3.2 ABOVE, OR THE L-C FDIC REPLACEMENT NOTICE (AS APPLICABLE), OR (Y) THE DATE WHICH IS NINETY (90) DAYS AFTER THE LAST DAY OF THE PERIOD IDENTIFIED IN SECTION 21.3.2 OR THE L-C FDIC REPLACEMENT NOTICE (AS APPLICABLE). IN THE EVENT THAT TENANT FAILS, DURING SUCH NINETY (90) DAY PERIOD FOLLOWING THE LAST DAY OF THE PERIOD IDENTIFIED IN SECTION 21.3.2 OR THE L-C FDIC REPLACEMENT NOTICE (AS APPLICABLE), TO PROVIDE LANDLORD WITH ADDITIONAL L-C(S) IN AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE DEFICIENCY OR A REPLACEMENT L-C (AS APPLICABLE), THEN TENANT'S MONTHLY INSTALLMENT OF BASE RENT SHALL BE INCREASED TO ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE PERCENT (125%) OF ITS OTHERWISE EXISTING LEVEL DURING THE PERIOD COMMENCING ON THE DATE WHICH IS NINETY (90) DAYS AFTER THE LAST DAY OF THE PERIOD IDENTIFIED IN SECTION 21.3.2 OR THE L-C FDIC REPLACEMENT NOTICE (AS APPLICABLE) AND ENDING ON THE DATE SUCH ADDITIONAL L-C(S) ARE ISSUED IN AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE DEFICIENCY OR SUCH A REPLACEMENT L‑C IS ISSUED (AS APPLICABLE) PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF SECTION 21.3.2 OR THE L-C FDIC REPLACEMENT NOTICE (AS APPLICABLE).

THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PAYMENT OF SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 3275 OR 3369, BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO LANDLORD PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1671.

21.4    Transfer and Encumbrance. The L-C shall also provide that Landlord may, at any time and without notice to Tenant and without first obtaining Tenant's consent thereto, transfer (one or more times) all or any portion of its interest in and to the L-C to another party, person or entity, regardless of whether or not such transfer is from or as a part of the assignment by Landlord of its rights and interests in and to this Lease. In the event of a transfer of Landlord's interest in under this Lease, Landlord shall transfer the L-C, in whole or in part, to the transferee and thereupon Landlord shall, without any further agreement between the parties, be released by Tenant from all liability therefor, and it is agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment of the whole of said L-C to a new landlord. In connection with any such transfer of the L-C by Landlord, Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, execute and submit to the Bank such applications, documents and instruments as may be necessary to effectuate such transfer, provided, Landlord shall be responsible for paying the Bank's transfer and processing fees in connection therewith.
21.5    L-C Not a Security Deposit. Landlord and Tenant (1) acknowledge and agree that in no event or circumstance shall the L‑C or any renewal thereof or substitute therefor or any proceeds thereof be deemed to be or treated as a “security deposit” under any law applicable to security deposits in the commercial context, including, but not limited to, Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, as such Section now exists or as it may be hereafter amended or succeeded (the “Security Deposit Laws”), (2) acknowledge and agree that the L‑C (including any renewal thereof or substitute therefor or any proceeds thereof) is not intended to serve as a security deposit, and the Security Deposit Laws shall have no applicability or relevancy thereto, and (3) waive any and all rights, duties and obligations that any such party may now, or in the future will, have relating to or arising from the Security Deposit Laws. Tenant hereby irrevocably waives and relinquishes the provisions of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code and any successor statute, and all other provisions of law, now or hereafter in effect, which (x) establish the time frame by which a landlord must refund a security deposit under a lease, and/or (y) provide that a landlord may claim from a security deposit only those sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of rent, to repair damage caused by a tenant or to clean the premises, it being agreed that Landlord may, in addition, claim those sums specified in this Article 21 and/or those sums reasonably necessary to (a) compensate Landlord for any loss or damage caused by Tenant's breach of this Lease, including any damages Landlord suffers following termination of this Lease, and/or (b) compensate Landlord for any and all damages arising out of, or incurred in connection with, the termination of this Lease, including, without limitation, those specifically identified in Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code.

Exhibit 10.1

21.6    Non-Interference By Tenant. Tenant agrees not to interfere in any way with any payment to Landlord of the proceeds of the L-C, either prior to or following a "draw" by Landlord of all or any portion of the L-C, regardless of whether any dispute exists between Tenant and Landlord as to Landlord's right to draw down all or any portion of the L-C. No condition or term of this Lease shall be deemed to render the L‑C conditional and thereby afford the Bank a justification for failing to honor a drawing upon such L-C in a timely manner. Tenant shall not request or instruct the Bank of any L‑C to refrain from paying sight draft(s) drawn under such L‑C.
21.7    Waiver of Certain Relief. Tenant unconditionally and irrevocably waives (and as an independent covenant hereunder, covenants not to assert) any right to claim or obtain any of the following relief in connection with the L‑C:
21.7.1    A temporary restraining order, temporary injunction, permanent injunction, or other order that would prevent, restrain or restrict the presentment of sight drafts drawn under any L‑C or the Bank's honoring or payment of sight draft(s); or
21.7.2    Any attachment, garnishment, or levy in any manner upon either the proceeds of any L‑C or the obligations of the Bank (either before or after the presentment to the Bank of sight drafts drawn under such L‑C) based on any theory whatever.
21.8    Remedy for Improper Drafts. Tenant's sole remedy in connection with the improper presentment or payment of sight drafts drawn under any L‑C shall be the right to obtain from Landlord a refund of the amount of any sight draft(s) that were improperly presented or the proceeds of which were misapplied, together with interest at the Interest Rate (as defined in the Office Lease) and reasonable actual out-of-pocket attorneys' fees, provided that at the time of such refund, Tenant increases the amount of such L‑C to the amount (if any) then required under the applicable provisions of this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that the presentment of sight drafts drawn under any L‑C, or the Bank's payment of sight drafts drawn under such L‑C, could not under any circumstances cause Tenant injury that could not be remedied by an award of money damages, and that the recovery of money damages would be an adequate remedy therefor. In the event Tenant shall be entitled to a refund as aforesaid and Landlord shall fail to make such payment within ten (10) business days after demand, Tenant shall have the right to deduct the amount thereof together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate from the next installment(s) of Base Rent and Additional Rent.
7.    Landlord Responsibility. Effective as of the date of this Third Amendment, Section 7.1 of the Office Lease is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
Landlord shall (as an Operating Expense, except as provided in Section 7.2 below or subject to exclusion from Operating Expenses in accordance with Section 4.2.4 above) repair and maintain the structural portions of the Building including the foundation, floor/ceiling slabs, roof, curtain walls, exterior glass and moldings, columns, beams, shafts (including elevator shafts), stairs, stairwells, elevator cabs and all Common Areas and shall also maintain and repair the basic mechanical, electrical, life-safety, plumbing and sprinkler systems and HVAC systems (except for any distribution of such systems exclusively to the Premises and for Tenant's twenty four (24) hour systems).
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE 7 TO THE CONTRARY, IF TENANT PROVIDES WRITTEN NOTICE TO LANDLORD OF AN EVENT OR CIRCUMSTANCE WHICH REQUIRES THE ACTION OF LANDLORD WITH RESPECT TO SUCH REPAIR AND/OR MAINTENANCE, AND IN TENANT’S REASONABLE DISCRETION LANDLORD FAILS TO PROVIDE SUCH ACTION WITHIN A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME, GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES, AFTER TENANT’S DELIVERY (IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE NOTICES PROVISION) OF SUCH NOTICE, BUT IN NO EVENT EARLIER THAN (I) THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER TENANT’S DELIVERY OF SUCH NOTICE WITH REGARD TO THE PREMISES ONLY, OR (II) SIXTY (60) DAYS AFTER TENANT’S DELIVERY OF SUCH NOTICE WITH REGARD TO ANY OTHER PORTION OF THE PROJECT, THEN UPON TENANT’S DELIVERY OF AN ADDITIONAL TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS NOTICE TO LANDLORD SPECIFYING LANDLORD'S CONTINUED FAILURE, AND IF SUCH ACTION WAS REQUIRED, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS LEASE TO BE TAKEN BY LANDLORD AND WAS NOT COMPLETED BY LANDLORD TO TENANT’S REASONABLE SATISFACTION WITHIN SUCH TEN (10) BUSINESS DAY PERIOD, THEN TENANT SHALL

THE PARTIES AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICABLE AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN THE ACTUAL DAMAGES SUFFERED BY TENANT AS A RESULT OF LANDLORD'S FAILURE TO TIMELY PROVIDE THE ACTION REQUIRED OF LANDLORD IN THIS SECTION 7.1, AND THAT UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AS OF THE DATE OF THIS LEASE, THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVIDED FOR IN THIS SECTION 7.1 REPRESENT A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES WHICH TENANT WILL INCUR AS A RESULT OF SUCH FAILURE, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THIS PROVISION SHALL NOT WAIVE OR AFFECT TENANT'S RIGHTS AND LANDLORD'S INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER OTHER SECTIONS OF THIS LEASE.

8.    Signage.
8.1    Lobby Signage. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to allow Tenant, subject to reimbursement from the Reimbursement Allowance pursuant to the terms of the Alterations Agreement, to increase its lobby signage as much as reasonably practicable, taking into consideration the reasonable requirements of the sixth (6th) floor tenants.
8.2    Monument Signage. Tenant shall have the right to increase its monument signage on the existing monument to the maximum level available under Applicable Laws, provided that any modifications to such signage shall be at Tenant's sole cost and expense (subject to reimbursement from the Reimbursement Allowance pursuant to the terms of the Alterations Agreement) and shall otherwise remain subject to Landlord's approval and the applicable terms and conditions of the Lease.
8.3    Building Top Signage. Notwithstanding Section 23.4.1 of the Lease or any other provision to the contrary contained in the Lease, as hereby amended, Tenant shall have the right to increase Tenant's building top signage on the Building to the maximum amount permitted under Applicable Laws (subject to reimbursement from the Reimbursement Allowance pursuant to the terms of the Alterations Agreement).
9.    Right of First Refusal. Effective as of the date of this Third Amendment, Section 1.3 and 1.4 of the Office Lease are hereby deleted and of no further force or effect. Effective as of January 1, 2016, Landlord hereby grants to the Tenant originally named herein (the "Original Tenant") and its "Affiliates" (as that term is defined in Section 14.8 of the Office Lease), an ongoing right of first refusal during the initial Lease Term and any Option Term, with respect to all or any portion of the sixth (6th) floor of the Building (the "First Refusal Space").
9.1    Procedure for Lease.
(a)    Procedure for Offer. Landlord shall notify Tenant (the "First Refusal Notice") from time-to-time when and if Landlord receives a "bona-fide third-party offer" for the First Refusal Space. Pursuant to such First Refusal Notice, Landlord shall offer to lease to Tenant the applicable First Refusal Space. The First Refusal Notice shall describe the First Refusal Space, and the lease term, rent and other fundamental economic terms and conditions upon which Landlord proposes to lease such First Refusal Space pursuant to the bona-fide third-party offer. For purposes of this Section 12, a "bona-fide third-party offer" shall mean a counter-offer received by Landlord to lease First Refusal Space from an unaffiliated and qualified third party which Landlord would otherwise be willing to accept (but for Tenant's superior rights hereunder). For purposes of example only, the following would each constitute a bona-fide third-party offer:
(a)    Landlord receives a request for proposal from an unaffiliated and qualified third party. Landlord responds to the request for proposal with a lease proposal and subsequently receives a written bona-fide counter proposal from the unaffiliated and qualified third party.
(b)    Landlord receives a written offer to lease from an unaffiliated and qualified third party. Landlord responds to the offer with a written counter offer and subsequently receives a bona-fide counter to Landlord's counter offer from the unaffiliated and qualified third party.
(b)     Procedure for Acceptance. If Tenant wishes to exercise Tenant's right of first refusal with respect to the First Refusal Space described in the First Refusal Notice, then within seven (7) business days of delivery of the First Refusal Notice to Tenant (the "Election Period"), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord written notice (an "Election Notice") of Tenant's exercise of its right of first refusal with respect to all of the First Refusal Space described in the First Refusal Notice at the rent, for the term and upon the other fundamental economic terms and conditions contained in such First Refusal Notice, including, but not limited to rental concessions and improvement allowances. If Tenant does not so notify Landlord within such Election Period of Tenant's exercise of its first refusal right, or Tenant affirmatively elects not to exercise such first refusal right (either of the foregoing being referred to herein as a "First Refusal Rejection"), then Landlord shall be free to negotiate and enter into a lease for the First Refusal Space to anyone whom it desires on any terms it desires. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant's ongoing right of first refusal shall commence only following the expiration or earlier termination of any existing lease of the First Refusal Space (or portion thereof), including any renewal, extension or expansion rights set forth in such leases, regardless of whether such renewal, extension or expansion rights are

executed strictly in accordance with their terms, or pursuant to a lease amendment or a new lease, and such right of first refusal shall further be subordinate to (A) all rights of Relational Investors LLC and Zogenix, Inc., who currently occupy the First Refusal Space and (B) all rights of extension (regardless of whether such renewal, extension or expansion rights are executed strictly in accordance with their terms, or pursuant to a lease amendment or a new lease), first offer, first refusal, expansion or other similar rights with respect to such First Offer Space contained in an "Intervening Lease," as that term is defined below (each, a ROFR Superior Right Holder"). For purposes hereof, an "Intervening Lease" shall mean any lease to Relational Investors LLC, Zogenix, Inc., or any third party tenant lease entered into in advance of December 31, 2015 or thereafter leasing First Refusal Space identified in a particular First Refusal Notice following Tenant's election (or deemed election) not to exercise its right to lease such space pursuant to the terms of Section 12 of this Third Amendment.
9.2    Amendment to Lease. If Tenant timely exercises Tenant's right of first refusal to lease First Refusal Space as set forth herein, Landlord and Tenant shall within thirty (30) days thereafter execute an amendment to the Lease (the "First Refusal Space Amendment") for such First Refusal Space upon the terms set forth in the First Refusal Notice, including, but not limited to rent (the "First Refusal Space Rent"), but otherwise upon the TCCs set forth in the Lease and this Section 12. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may, at its sole option, require that a separate lease be executed by Landlord and Tenant in connection with Tenant's lease of the First Refusal Space, in which event such lease (the "First Refusal Space Lease") shall be on the same TCCs as the Lease, except as provided in this Section 12 and specifically in this Third Amendment to the contrary. The First Refusal Space Lease, if applicable, shall be executed by Landlord and Tenant within thirty (30) days following Tenant's exercise of its right to lease the First Refusal Space. Notwithstanding the foregoing documentation obligations, Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that Tenant's timely delivery of the Election Notice shall, in and of itself, conclusively establish Tenant's obligation to lease the subject First Refusal Space on the express TCCs set forth in the corresponding First Refusal Notice.
9.3    No Defaults; Required Financial Condition of Tenant. The rights contained in this Section 12 shall be personal to the Original Tenant and its Permitted Transferees and may only be exercised by the Original Tenant or a Permitted Transferee (and not any other assignee, sublessee or other transferee of the Original Tenant's interest in the Lease, as amended) if the Original Tenant and/or a Permitted Transferee occupies not less than four (4) floors of the Premises. The right to lease the First Refusal Space as provided in this Section 12 may not be exercised if, as of the date Tenant attempts to exercise its right of first refusal with respect to the First Refusal Space described in the First Refusal Notice, or as of the scheduled date of delivery of such First Refusal Space to Tenant, (A) Tenant is in economic or material non-economic default pursuant to the terms of the Lease, as amended (beyond the applicable notice and cure periods), and (B) Tenant has previously been in economic or material non-economic default under the Lease, as amended (beyond the applicable notice and cure periods) more than once during the previous twenty-four (24) month period.
9.4    First Refusal Space Commencement Date; Construction in First Refusal Space. The commencement date for the First Refusal Space shall be the applicable date specified in the applicable First Refusal Notice (the "First Refusal Space Commencement Date") and the term of Tenant's lease of such First Refusal Space shall expire on the applicable date set forth in the First Refusal Notice (the "First Refusal Space Expiration Date"). The term of Tenant's occupancy of the First Refusal Space shall be referred to herein as a "First Refusal Space Lease Term." Except as otherwise expressly identified in the First Refusal Notice, Tenant shall take the First Refusal Space in its "as is" condition, and the construction of improvements in the First Refusal Space shall comply with the terms of Article 8 of the Office Lease.
9.5    Termination of First Refusal Right. Tenant's right of first refusal set forth in this Section 12 shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect as of the last day of the Lease Term, as the same may be extended, including, without limitation, pursuant to any Option Term, as applicable.
10.    Emergency Generators. Effective as of the date of this Third Amendment, Section 29.35 of the Office Lease is hereby amended and restated as follows:
Subject to the terms hereof and applicable laws, Tenant shall have the right to install one (1) back-up electrical generator and one  (1) auxiliary above-ground fuel tank for such generator

Third Amendment
[AMN Healthcare, Inc.]

Exhibit 10.1

(with a fuel tank not to exceed 25,000 gallons) (collectively, the "New Generator") in the area adjacent to the Building as generally shown on Exhibit A of the Third Amendment, and in the particular location reasonably designated by Landlord (the "New Generator Area"). All connections (cables, cable trays, etc.) from such New Generator to the Premises shall be located in areas reasonably approved by Landlord, but shall in any event be located and installed in a manner similar to that of the existing generator previously installed by Tenant (the "Existing Generator"), which Existing Generator Tenant shall continue to have the right to operate pursuant to the terms of the Lease. The New Generator and Existing Generator are, collectively, the Generators. In no event shall Tenant permit the New Generator to interfere with normal and customary use or operation of the Building and Project by Landlord or other tenants and/or occupants (including, without limitation, by means of noise or odor). Tenant shall be responsible for any and all costs, if any, incurred by Landlord as a result of or in connection with Tenant's installation, operation, use and/or removal of the New Generator and/or the Existing Generator. Landlord, at Landlord's sole cost and expense, shall install screening, landscaping or other improvements as reasonably desired by Landlord (but without implied obligation) to satisfy its aesthetic requirements in connection with the New Generator and/or the Existing Generator. Subject to Landlord's prior approval of all plans and specifications, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and at Tenant's sole cost and expense, Landlord shall permit Tenant to install and maintain the New Generator in the New Generator Area, and connections between the New Generator and Landlord's electrical systems in the Building, all in compliance with all applicable laws, provided that Landlord shall, at Landlord's sole cost and expense, construct the pad site and electrical wiring conduits for the New Generator pursuant to Tenant's reasonable specifications therefore in the New Generator Area. Without limitation of the foregoing, all conditions relating to the installation, connection, use, repair and removal of the New Generator (including, without limitation, the manner and means of Tenant's connection of the New Generator to the core of the Building and/or through the Building risers to the Premises) shall be subject to the prior approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Tenant shall be responsible for all maintenance and repairs and compliance with law obligations related to both the Generators and acknowledges that Landlord shall have no responsibility in connection therewith and that Landlord shall not be liable for any damage that may occur with respect to either Generators. The Generators shall be used by Tenant only during (i) testing and regular maintenance, and (ii) the period of any electrical power outage in the Building. Tenant shall be entitled to operate the Generators and such connections to the Building for testing and regular maintenance only upon notice to Landlord and at times reasonably approved by Landlord. Tenant shall submit the specifications for design, operation, installation and maintenance of the connections to the New Generator and facilities related thereto to Landlord for Landlord's consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and may be conditioned on Tenant complying with such reasonable requirements imposed by Landlord, based on the advice of Landlord's engineers, so that the Building's systems or other components of the Building are not adversely affected by the installation and operation of the New Generator and/or based upon other reasonable factors as determined by Landlord. The cost of design (including engineering costs) and installation of the Generator and the costs of the Generator itself shall be Tenant's sole responsibility (subject to application of the Refurbishment Allowance as set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto). All repairs and maintenance and compliance with laws with respect to the Generators shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant (at Tenant's sole cost and expense), and Landlord makes no representation or warranty of any kind with respect to such Generators. At Landlord's option, Landlord may require that Tenant remove the Generators and all related facilities and equipment upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, as amended (or upon any earlier termination of Tenant's rights with respect to the Generators as provided hereunder), and repair all damage to the Building and/or Project resulting from such removal and restore all affected areas to their condition existing prior to Tenant's installation of the Generators, all at Tenant's sole cost and expense; provided, however, in no event shall Tenant be required to remove the pad site and electrical wiring conduits for the New Generator or the Existing Generator. The terms of the preceding sentence as well as the indemnity set forth below shall survive the termination or earlier expiration of the Lease, as amended. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect, and hold harmless Landlord, its partners, subpartners and their respective officers, agents, servants, employees, and independent contractors from any and all loss, cost, damage, expense and liability (including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with or arising from any cause related to or connected with the installation, use, operation, repair and/or removal of the Generators and/or any acts, omissions or negligence of Tenant or of any person claiming by, through or under Tenant, or of the contractors, agents, servants, employees, invitees, guests or

Exhibit 10.1

licensees of Tenant or any such person, in connection with the Generators. In the event that Tenant shall fail to comply with the requirements set forth herein, without limitation of Landlord's other remedies, (i) Landlord shall have the right to terminate Tenant's rights with respect to the applicable Generator, and/or (ii) Landlord shall have the right, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, to cure such breach, in which event Tenant shall be obligated to pay to Landlord, within ten (10) business days following demand by Landlord, the amount expended by Landlord, plus Landlord's standard administration fee. The Generators shall be deemed to be a part of the Remaining Premises for purposes of the insurance provisions of the Lease, as amended hereby, and, in addition, Tenant shall maintain, at Tenant's cost, industry standard "boiler and machinery" insurance coverage with respect thereto.
11.    Events. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that following the date of this Third Amendment, Landlord and Tenant shall meet quarterly throughout the Lease Term to review Tenant's calendar of "Events" (as defined below) for the subsequent six (6) month period. For purposes of the Lease, as amended hereby, the term "Events" shall mean any party, event, or other gathering held or planned to be held by Tenant within the Project. Landlord and Tenant shall use good faith, diligent, commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate and coordinate in connection with such Events. In addition, at least two (2) business days prior to any Event, Tenant shall provide Landlord with advance notice (the "Event Notice") either (i) in writing pursuant to Section 29.18 of the Office Lease or (ii) via electronic mail to Brian Galligan and the Property Manager (with a follow up phone call successfully made to either one of them to confirm receipt, but only to the extent Landlord fails to electronically confirm receipt of such electronic mail); provided, however, while recognizing the two (2) business day minimum, Tenant shall nevertheless endeavor to deliver any Event Notice at least three (3) business days in advance. The Event Notice (whether pursuant to Section 29.18 of the Office Lease or by electronic mail) shall describe each Event and include proof of insurance. If Landlord fails to respond to the Event Notice by the end of the business day following (x) the date of its deemed receipt, if noticed pursuant to Section 29.18 of the Office Lease, or (y) the date upon which Landlord confirms receipt of an electronic delivery, either via electronic response confirmation or phone call confirmation, then such Event shall be deemed approved by Landlord and Tenant may proceed to hold the Event at the time and in the manner described in the corresponding Event Notice.
12.    Fire Stairs. Landlord hereby agrees that Landlord shall not prohibit Tenant from using the fire stairs between the ground floor of the Building and the Premises and between contiguous floors of the Premises for the regular travel of employees between such floors, except to the extent Landlord is otherwise ordered by a governmental entity having jurisdiction over the Premises to so prohibit Tenant from such use. Tenant shall have the right to have such fire stairs, and the door(s) to access such fire stairs on each floor of the Premises, monitored and accessed by Tenant's Card Key Access System installed by Tenant pursuant to Section 6 of this Third Amendment. Landlord hereby makes no representation to Tenant as to whether or not the use of the fire stairs between contiguous floors of the Premises for the regular travel of employees between such floors is allowed under Applicable Laws. In addition, Landlord will keep the door providing access from the exterior of the Building to the fire doors located nearest to Tenant's elevators locked and alarmed.
13.    Brokers. Landlord and Tenant hereby warrant to each other that they have had no dealings with any real estate broker or agent in connection with the negotiation of this Third Amendment other than CBRE, Inc. and Studley, Inc. ( the "Brokers"), and that they know of no other real estate broker or agent who is entitled to a commission in connection with this Third Amendment. Each party agrees to indemnify and defend the other party against and hold the other party harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, lawsuits, judgments, costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees) with respect to any leasing commission or equivalent compensation alleged to be owing on account of any dealings with any real estate broker or agent, other than the Brokers, occurring by, through, or under the indemnifying party. The terms of this Section 16 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the term of the Lease, as hereby amended. Landlord shall pay the Brokers a commission pursuant to separate written agreements between Landlord and each of the Brokers.
14.    Utility Billing Information. In the event that the Tenant is permitted to contract directly for the provision of electricity, gas and/or water services to the Premises with the third-party provider thereof (all in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion), Tenant shall promptly, but in

Exhibit 10.1

no event more than ten (10) business days following its receipt of each and every invoice for such items from the applicable provider, provide Landlord with a copy of each such invoice. Tenant acknowledges that pursuant to California Public Resources Code Section 25402.10 and the regulations adopted pursuant thereto (collectively the "Energy Disclosure Requirements"), Landlord may be required to disclose information concerning Tenant’s energy usage at the Building to certain third parties, including, without limitation, prospective purchasers, lenders and tenants of the Building (the "Tenant Energy Use Disclosure"). Tenant hereby (A) consents to all such Tenant Energy Use Disclosures, and (B) acknowledges that Landlord shall not be required to notify Tenant of any Tenant Energy Use Disclosure. Further, Tenant hereby releases Landlord from any and all losses, costs, damages, expenses and liabilities relating to, arising out of and/or resulting from any Tenant Energy Use Disclosure. The terms of this Section 17 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, as amended hereby.
15.    Certified Access Specialist. For purposes of Section 1938 of the California Civil Code, Landlord hereby discloses to Tenant, and Tenant hereby acknowledges, that the Premises has not undergone inspection by a Certified Access Specialist (CASp).
16.    Permitted Use. Section 7 of the Summary of Basic Lease Information is hereby amended and the following sentence shall be added to the end of that section, "Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be permitted to use the Premises for any use not inconsistent with applicable zoning regulation."
17.    Permitted Holdover. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree and acknowledge, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in Article 16 of the Office Lease, that Tenant shall have the one-time right, upon written notice (the "Holdover Notice") to Landlord given not less than ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Lease Term, to extend the Lease Term for a period of up to one hundred eighty (180) days, which Holdover Notice shall specify the actual number of days (the "Permitted Holdover Term"), in which case Tenant shall continue to pay the Base Rent applicable during the last rental period of the Lease Term and Tenant's Share of any Direct Expenses arising or accruing during such specified Permitted Holdover Term (amount of any partial month prorated on a per diem basis). Except with respect to the Permitted Holdover Term, nothing contained in this Section 20 shall be construed as consent by Landlord to any holding over by Tenant. All of the other terms and conditions of the Lease, as amended, shall apply during the Permitted Holdover Term, including without limitation, Tenant’s obligation to pay Additional Rent, all applicable taxes and any other charges payable by Tenant pursuant to the terms of the Lease, as amended.
1.    Confidentiality. Tenant acknowledges that the content of the Lease, as amended, and any related documents are confidential information. Except as otherwise required by Applicable Laws, Tenant shall keep such confidential information strictly confidential and shall not disclose such confidential information to any person or entity other than Tenant's financial, legal, and space planning consultants, prospective purchasers, prospective lenders, investors, or any independent auditors, third party's designated to review Direct Expenses, its directors, officers, employees, attorneys, or proposed Transferees. Landlord acknowledges that the content of the Lease, as amended, and any related documents are confidential information. Landlord shall keep such confidential information strictly confidential and shall not disclose such confidential information to any person or entity other than Landlord's financial, legal and space planning consultants, or its directors, officers, employees, attorneys, accountants, prospective lenders, prospective purchasers, and current and potential partners. Moreover, Landlord has advised Tenant that Landlord is obligated to regularly provide financial information concerning the Landlord and/or its affiliates (including Kilroy Realty Corporation, a public company whose shares of stock are listed on the New York Stock Exchange) to the shareholders of its affiliates, to the Federal Securities and Exchange Commission and other regulatory agencies, and to auditors and underwriters, which information may include summaries of financial information concerning leases, rents, costs and results of operations of its real estate business, including any rents or results of operations affected by the Lease, as amended. To the extent Tenant is a publicly traded corporation, Tenant may be obligated to regularly provide financial information concerning Tenant and/or its affiliates to the shareholders of its affiliates, to the Federal Securities and Exchange Commission and other regulatory agencies, and to auditors and underwriters, which information may include summaries of financial information concerning leases, rents, costs and results of operations of its business, including any financial

ALTERATIONS AGREEMENT
Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that Tenant is currently in occupancy of the Premises, and subject to Landlord's ongoing repair and maintenance obligations as set forth in the Lease and Landlord's obligation to provide services and utilities as set forth in the Lease, Landlord shall not be obligated to provide or pay for any improvement work or services related to the improvement of the Premises, and Tenant shall continue to accept the Premises in its presently existing, “as-is” condition, except as otherwise provided in this Alterations Agreement, which shall set forth the terms and conditions relating to the construction of the Refurbishment in the Premises. This Alterations Agreement is essentially organized chronologically and addresses the issues of the construction of the Premises, in sequence, as such issues will arise during the actual construction of the Premises. All references in this Alterations Agreement to Articles or Sections of "this Third Amendment" shall mean the relevant portion of Sections 1 through 22 of the Third Amendment to which this Alterations Agreement is attached as Exhibit B and of which this Alterations Agreement forms a part, all references in this Alterations Agreement to Articles or Sections of "this Lease" shall mean the relevant portions of Articles 1 through 30 of the Office Lease being amended by this Third Amendment, and all references in this Alterations Agreement to Sections of "this Alterations Agreement " shall mean the relevant portions of Sections 1 through 2 of this Alterations Agreement.
SECTION 1

REFURBISHMENT

Tenant shall be entitled to a one-time refurbishment allowance (the "Refurbishment Allowance") in the amount of Two Million Eighty-Three Thousand Seven Hundred Thirty-Six and 00/100 Dollars ($2,283,736.00) (i.e., Thirteen and 00/100 Dollars ($13.00) per rentable square foot of the Premises) for the costs relating to the initial design and construction of the improvements, which are permanently affixed to the Premises (the "Refurbishment"). In no event shall Landlord be obligated to pay a total amount which exceeds the Refurbishment Allowance. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any contrary provision of this Lease, as amended, all Refurbishment shall be deemed Landlord's property under the terms of this Lease, as amended. Any unused portion of the Refurbishment Allowance remaining as of December 31, 2019, shall remain with Landlord and Tenant shall have no further right thereto.
1.2    Disbursement of the Refurbishment Allowance.
1.2.1    Refurbishment Allowance Items. Except as otherwise set forth in this Alterations Agreement, the Refurbishment Allowance shall be disbursed by Landlord (each of which disbursements shall be made pursuant to Landlord's disbursement process, including, without limitation, Landlord's receipt of invoices for all costs and fees described herein) only for the following items and costs (collectively the "Refurbishment Allowance Items"):
1.2.1.1      Payment of the fees of the "Architect" and the "Engineers," as those terms are defined in Section 2.1 of this Work Letter, and payment of the fees incurred by, and the actual cost of documents and materials supplied by, Landlord and Landlord's consultants in connection with the preparation and review of the "Construction Drawings," as that term is defined in Section 2.1 of this Work Letter;
1.2.1.2      The payment of plan check, permit and license fees relating to construction of the Refurbishment;
1.2.1.3      The cost of construction of the Refurbishment, including, without limitation, testing and inspection costs, hoisting and trash removal costs, and contractors' fees and general conditions; provided, however, Landlord shall not charge for freight elevator usage;

1.2.1.6      The cost of the logistical coordination fee (the "Coordination Fee"), payable to Landlord in an amount equal to one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the Refurbishment Allowance used for costs attributable to Section 1.2.1.3, above, which Coordination Fee shall be for services relating to the coordination of the construction of the Refurbishment;

1.2.2.1      Monthly Disbursements. On or before the twentieth (20th) day of each calendar month, during the construction of the Refurbishment (or such other date as Landlord may designate), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord: (i) a request for payment of the contractor, approved by Tenant, in a form to be provided by Landlord, showing the schedule, by trade, of percentage of completion of the Refurbishment in the Premises, detailing the portion of the work completed and the portion not completed; (ii) invoices from all subcontractors, laborers, materialmen, and suppliers used by Tenant (such subcontractors, laborers, materialmen, and suppliers, and the Contractor to be known collectively as "Tenant's Agents") for labor rendered and materials delivered to the Premises; (iii) executed mechanic's lien releases from all of Tenant's Agents which shall comply with the appropriate provisions, as reasonably determined by Landlord, of California Civil Code Sections 8132, 8134, 8136 and 8138; and (iv) all other information reasonably requested by Landlord. Tenant's request for payment shall be deemed Tenant's acceptance and approval of the work furnished and/or the materials supplied as set forth in Tenant's payment request. Thereafter, Landlord shall deliver a check to Tenant made jointly payable to the contractor and Tenant, or directly to the contractor at Landlord's sole discretion, in payment of the lesser of: (A) the amounts so requested by Tenant, as set forth in this Section 1.2.2.1, above, and (B) the balance of any remaining available portion of the Refurbishment Allowance, provided that Landlord does not dispute any request for payment based on non-compliance of any work with the "Approved Working Drawings," as that term is defined in Section 2.4 below, or due to any substandard work, or for any other reason. Landlord's payment of such amounts shall not be deemed Landlord's approval or acceptance of the work furnished or materials supplied as set forth in Tenant's payment request. If Landlord fails to disburse the Refurbishment Allowance as required above, Tenant may deliver written notice of such failure, and if Landlord continues to fail to disburse such amount (or fails to disburse any undisputed amounts, while disputing in good faith a portion thereof), Tenant shall have the right to offset any such undisputed amounts from Rent.
1.2.2.2      Other Terms. Landlord shall only be obligated to make disbursements from the Refurbishment Allowance to the extent costs are incurred by Tenant for Refurbishment Allowance Items. All Refurbishment Allowance Items for which the Refurbishment Allowance has been made available shall be deemed Landlord's property under the terms of the Lease, as amended.
1.3    Building Standards. Landlord has established or may establish specifications for certain Building standard components to be used in the construction of the Refurbishment in the Premises. The quality of Refurbishment shall be equal to or of greater quality than the quality of the Building Standard Tenant Improvements set forth in Schedule 3 to Exhibit B of the Office

[AMN Healthcare, Inc.]

Exhibit 10.1

Lease. Landlord acknowledges that Tenant is not required to use any of the specific Building Standard Tenant Improvements and that such specifications have been provided only as a means of indicating the minimum quality and quantity of the items listed thereon that will be required in the construction of the Refurbishment. Removal requirements regarding the Refurbishment are addressed in Article 8 of the Lease, as amended by Section 6 of this Third Amendment.
1.4    Water Sensors. In connection with the construction of the Refurbishment pursuant to the terms of this Alterations Agreement, Tenant may, at Tenant's sole cost and expense (which may be deducted from the Refurbishment Allowance in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.2 of this Alterations Agreement), install Water Sensors in the Premises consistent with those previously installed by (or on behalf of) Tenant in certain restrooms and kitchen areas within the Premises.
SECTION 2

CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS
2.1    Selection of Architect/Construction Drawings. Tenant shall retain Architectural Interiors (Anne Sneed) (the "Architect") to prepare the "Construction Drawings," as that term is defined in this Section 3.1. Tenant shall retain the engineering consultants designated by Landlord and reasonably approved by Tenant (the "Engineers") to prepare all plans and engineering working drawings relating to the structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, lifesafety, and sprinkler work in the Premises, which work is not part of the Base Building. The plans and drawings to be prepared by Architect and the Engineers hereunder shall be known collectively as the "Construction Drawings." All Construction Drawings shall comply with the drawing format and specifications determined by Landlord (and reasonably approved by Tenant), and shall be subject to Landlord's approval. Tenant and Architect shall verify, in the field, the dimensions and conditions as shown on the relevant portions of the Base Building plans, and Tenant and Architect shall be solely responsible for the same, and Landlord shall have no responsibility in connection therewith. Landlord's review of the Construction Drawings as set forth in this Section 2, shall be for its sole purpose and shall not imply Landlord's review of the same, or obligate Landlord to review the same, for quality, design, Code compliance or other like matters. Accordingly, notwithstanding that any Construction Drawings are reviewed by Landlord or its space planner, architect, engineers and consultants, and notwithstanding any advice or assistance which may be rendered to Tenant by Landlord or Landlord's space planner, architect, engineers, and consultants, Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever in connection therewith and shall not be responsible for any omissions or errors contained in the Construction Drawings, and Tenant's waiver and indemnity set forth in this Lease shall specifically apply to the Construction Drawings, unless and to the extent Landlord expressly requires a particular modification of the Construction Drawings to be made as a condition to Landlord's approval of the Construction Drawings, to which condition Tenant timely objects. Each time Landlord is granted the right to review, consent or approve any space plan or construction drawings such consent shall be granted unless a Design Problem (as defined below) exists.
2.2    Final Space Plan. Tenant shall supply Landlord with four (4) hard copies signed by Tenant of its final space plan, along with other renderings or illustrations reasonably required by Landlord, to allow Landlord to understand Tenant's design intent, for the Premises before any architectural working drawings or engineering drawings have been commenced, and concurrently with Tenant's delivery of such hard copies, Tenant shall send to Landlord via electronic mail one (1) .pdf electronic copy of such final space plan. The final space plan (the "Final Space Plan") shall include a layout and designation of all offices, rooms and other partitioning, their intended use, and equipment to be contained therein. Landlord may request clarification or more specific drawings for special use items not included in the Final Space Plan. Landlord shall advise Tenant within five (5) business days after Landlord's receipt of the Final Space Plan for the Premises if the same is unsatisfactory or incomplete in any respect (based upon a commercially reasonable standard). It shall be deemed commercially reasonable for Landlord to disapprove a submitted Final Space Plan for the following reasons: (i) such Final Space Plan would have an adverse effect on the structural integrity of the Building, (ii) such Final Space Plan fails to comply with applicable Code and/or other applicable governmental regulations, (iii) such Final Space Plans would have an adverse effect on the systems and equipment of the Building, (iv) such Final Space Plans would have an adverse effect on the exterior appearance of the Building (individually or collectively, a

"Design Problem"). If Tenant is so advised, Tenant shall promptly cause the Final Space Plan to be revised to correct any deficiencies or other matters Landlord may reasonably require. Such procedure shall continue until the Final Space Plan is approved by Landlord. Landlord's failure to object to the Final Space Plan within such five (5) business day period shall constitute Landlord's approval of the Final Space Plan.
2.3    Final Working Drawings. After the Final Space Plan has been approved by Landlord, Tenant shall supply the Engineers with a complete listing of standard and non-standard equipment and specifications, including, without limitation, B.T.U. calculations, electrical requirements and special electrical receptacle requirements for the Premises, to enable the Engineers and the Architect to complete the "Final Working Drawings" (as that term is defined below) in the manner as set forth below. Upon the reasonable approval of the Final Space Plan by Landlord and Tenant, Tenant shall promptly cause the Architect and the Engineers to complete the architectural and engineering drawings for the Premises, and Architect shall compile a fully coordinated set of architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing working drawings in a form which is complete to allow subcontractors to bid on the work and to obtain all applicable permits (collectively, the "Final Working Drawings") and shall submit the same to Landlord for Landlord's reasonable approval. Tenant shall supply Landlord with four (4) hard copies signed by Tenant of the Final Working Drawings, and concurrently with Tenant's delivery of such hard copies, Tenant shall send to Landlord via electronic mail one (1) .pdf electronic copy of such Final Working Drawings. Landlord shall within five (5) business days after Landlord's receipt of the Final Working Drawings either (i) approve the Final Working Drawings or (ii) disapprove and return the Final Working Drawings to Tenant with requested revisions to the extent the Final Working Drawings contain a Design Problem; provided, however,if Landlord fails to approve or disapprove the Final Working Drawings within such five (5) business day period, then Tenant shall send Landlord notice of Landlord's failure to approve or disapprove the Final Working Drawings. Landlord's failure to approve or disapprove the Final Working Drawings within three (3) business days of receiving such "reminder" notice shall be deemed Landlord's approval of the Final Working Drawings. If Landlord disapproves of the Final Working Drawings, Tenant may resubmit the Final Working Drawings to Landlord at any time, and Landlord shall approve or disapprove the resubmitted Final Working Drawings, based upon the criteria set forth in this Section 2.3 within three (3) business days after Landlord receives such resubmitted Final Working Drawings. Such procedure shall be repeated until the Final Working Drawings are approved. Landlord’s failure to timely respond to Tenant within any applicable response period referenced herein shall be deemed Landlord’s approval of the Final Working Drawings.
2.4    Approved Working Drawings. The Final Working Drawings shall be reasonably approved by Landlord (the "Approved Working Drawings") prior to the commencement of construction of the Premises by Tenant. After reasonable approval by Landlord of the Final Working Drawings, Tenant may submit the same to the appropriate municipal authorities for all applicable building permits. Tenant hereby agrees that neither Landlord nor Landlord's consultants shall be responsible for obtaining any building permit or certificate of occupancy for the Premises and that obtaining the same shall be Tenant's responsibility; provided, however, that Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in executing permit applications and performing other ministerial acts reasonably necessary to enable Tenant to obtain any such permit or certificate of occupancy. No material changes, modifications or alterations in the Approved Working Drawings may be made without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may not be withheld, conditioned or delayed except to the extent necessary to eliminate a Design Problem.
2.5    Electronic Approvals. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in the Lease or this Alterations Agreement, Landlord may, in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion, transmit or otherwise deliver any of the approvals required under this Alterations Agreement via electronic mail to Tenant's representative identified in Section 2.6 of this Alterations Agreement, or by any of the other means identified in Section 29.18 of this Lease.
2.6    Tenant's Representative. Tenant has designated Danny Hans as its sole representative with respect to the matters set forth in this Work Letter (whose e-mail address for the purposes of this Work Letter is dannyhans@amnhealthcare.com), who shall have full authority and responsibility to act on behalf of the Tenant as required in this Work Letter.
