(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Lender Agrees, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received notice that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, that Borrower may from time to time request the Issuing Lender to issue a Standby L/C or a Commercial L/C which shall not be in an initial amount of less than $100,000 (unless the Issuing Lender otherwise agrees), by delivering to the Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at its address specified in subsection 11.2 (or such other location as the Issuing Lender may direct) not later than 11:00 a.m. at least two Business Days (or such shorter period and time as the Issuing Lender may agree in its sole discretion) a letter of credit application in the Issuing Lender’s then customary form (the “L/C Application”) completed to the satisfaction of the Issuing Lender, together with the proposed form of such Letter of Credit (which shall comply with the applicable requirements of paragraph (b) below) and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the

-40-

Issuing Lender may reasonably request; provided that if the Issuing Lender informs Borrower that it is for any reason unable to open such Letter of Credit, Borrower may request any Lender to open such Letter of Credit upon the same terms offered to the Issuing Lender and each reference to the Issuing Lender for purposes of subsections 3.5 through 3.13, 6.1 and 6.2 shall be deemed to be a reference to such Issuing Lender for the purposes of such Letter of Credit. Each request by Borrower for the amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation that such amendment or extension as so requested complies with the conditions that would otherwise be applicable if such Letter of Credit was being initially issued hereunder.

(b) Each Standby L/C and Commercial L/C issued hereunder shall be issued for the account of Borrower and shall, among other things, (i) be in such form requested by Borrower as shall be acceptable to the Issuing Lender in its sole discretion and (ii) have an expiry date occurring not later than (a) 12 months, in the case of a Standby L/C, or (b) 120 days, in the case of a Commercial L/C, after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit and, in the case of Standby L/Cs, may be automatically renewed on its expiry date for an additional period equal to the initial term, but in no case shall any Letter of Credit have an expiry date occurring later than seven days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date. Each L/C Application and each Letter of Credit shall, unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Lender and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, be subject to the International Standby Practices (ISP 98) of the International Chamber of Commerce (in the case of Standby L/Cs) or the Uniform Customs (in the case of Commercial L/Cs).

(c) 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, and the Issuing Lender shall have all of benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Section 10 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 documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Section 10 included the Issuing Lender with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the Issuing Lender.

3.6. Participating Interests. Effective in the case of each Standby L/C and Commercial L/C (if applicable) as of the date of the opening thereof, the Issuing Lender agrees to allot and does allot, to itself and each other Revolving Credit Lender, and each such Lender severally and irrevocably agrees to take and does take in such Letter of Credit, an L/C Participating Interest in a percentage equal to such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage.

3.7. Procedure for Opening Letters of Credit. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a L/C Application. Promptly after receipt of any L/C Application, the Issuing Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such L/C Application from the Borrower and, if not, the Issuing Lender will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the Issuing Lender has received written notice from the Administrative Agent or the Borrower at least one business day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained herein have not been satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Lender shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the Issuing Lender’s usual and customary business practices.

-41-

3.8. Payments in Respect of Letters of Credit. (a) Borrower agrees forthwith upon demand by the Issuing Lender, (i) to reimburse the Issuing Lender through the Administrative Agent for any payment made by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit issued for the account of Borrower and (ii) to pay interest on any unreimbursed portion of any such payment from the date of such payment until reimbursement in full thereof at a rate per annum equal to (a) on or prior to the date which is one Business Day after the day on which the Issuing Lender demands reimbursement from Borrower for such payment, the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for the Revolving Credit Loans and (b) thereafter, the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for the Revolving Credit Loans plus 2%. Each drawing under any Letter of Credit shall (unless an event of the type described in paragraph (f) of Section 9 shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case the procedures specified in this subsection 3.8 for payments in respect of Letters of Credit shall apply) constitute a request by Borrower to the Administrative Agent for a borrowing pursuant to subsection 3.1(a) of Alternate Base Rate Loans (or, at the option of the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender in their sole discretion, a borrowing pursuant to subsection 3.4 of Swing Line Loans) in the amount of such drawing. The Borrowing Date with respect to such borrowing shall be the date of payment of the relevant drawing.

(b) In the event that the Issuing Lender makes a payment under any Letter of Credit and is not reimbursed pursuant to subsection 3.8(a) in full therefor forthwith upon demand of the, Administrative Agent will promptly notify each other Revolving Credit Lender. Not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice, each such other Lender will transfer to the Issuing Lender, though the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such other Lender’s pro rata share (based on its Revolving Credit Commitment and/or any Incremental Revolving Commitment) of the L/C Obligation arising from such unreimbursed payment. Promptly, upon its receipt from such other Lender of such amount, the Administrative Agent will complete, execute and deliver to such other Lender an L/C Participation Certificate dated the date of such receipt and in such amount. Until each Revolving Lender transfers its pro rata share of the L/C Obligation, interest in respect of such Revolving Lender’s pro rata share of such amount shall be solely for the account of the Issuing Lender.

(c) Whenever, at any time after the Issuing Lender has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any other Revolving Credit Lender such other Lender’s pro rata share of the L/C Obligation arising therefrom, the Issuing Lender receives any reimbursement on account of such L/C Obligation or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to such other Lender its pro rata share thereof in like funds as received; provided that in the event that the receipt by the Issuing Lender from the Borrower of such reimbursement or such payment of interest (as the case may be) is required to be returned, such other Lender will remit to the Issuing Lender through the Administrative Agent.

3.9. Letter of Credit Fees. (a) In lieu of any letter of credit commissions and fees provided for in any L/C Application relating to Standby or Commercial L/Cs (other than standard issuance, amendment and negotiation fees), Borrower agrees to pay the Administrative Agent, (i) for the account of the Issuing Lender and the Participating Lenders, with respect to each Standby L/C or Commercial L/C issued for the account of Borrower, a Standby L/C or Commercial L/C fee, as the case may be, equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Loans which are Eurodollar Loans per annum; (ii) in addition to the Standby or Commercial L/C fee referred to in subsection 3.9(a)(i) above, for the account of the Issuing Lender and not on account of its L/C Participating Interest therein, 0.25% per annum, each on the daily average amount available to be drawn under each Standby L/C in the case of a Standby L/C and on the maximum face amount of each Commercial L/C in the case of a Commercial L/C, in either

-42-

case, payable, in arrears, on the first business day following last day of each March, June, September and December and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date and (iii) the Borrower shall pay directly to the Issuing Lender for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the Issuing Lender relating to Letters of Credit as from time to time in effect. The Administrative Agent will disburse any Standby or Commercial L/C fees received pursuant to subsection 3.9(a)(i) to the respective Lenders promptly following the receipt of any such fees.

(b) For purposes of any payment of fees required pursuant to this subsection 3.9, the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Issuing Lender) agrees to provide to Borrower a statement of any such fees to be so paid; provided that the failure by the Administrative Agent to provide Borrower with any such invoice shall not relieve Borrower of its obligation to pay such fees.

3.10. Letter of Credit Reserves. (a) If any Change in Law shall either (i) impose, modify, deem or make applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by the Issuing Lender or (ii) impose on the Issuing Lender any other condition regarding this Agreement (with respect to Letters of Credit) or any Letter of Credit, and the result of any event referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above shall be to increase the cost of the Issuing Lender of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (which increase in cost shall be the result of the Issuing Lender’s reasonable allocation of the aggregate of such cost increases resulting from such events), then, upon demand by the Issuing Lender, Borrower shall immediately pay to the Issuing Lender, from time to time as specified by the Issuing Lender, additional amounts which shall be sufficient to compensate the Issuing Lender for such increased cost, together with interest on each such amount from the date demanded until payment in full thereof at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Alternate Base Rate Loans pursuant to subsection 4.8(b). Borrower shall not be required to make any payments to the Issuing Lender for any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection 3.10(a) unless the Issuing Lender has given written notice to Borrower of its intent to request such payments prior to or within 60 days after the date on which the Issuing Lender became entitled to claim such amounts. A certificate, setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amounts involved, submitted by the Issuing Lender to Borrower concurrently with any such demand by the Issuing Lender, shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, as to the amount thereof.

(b) In the event that any Change in Law with respect to the Issuing Lender shall, in the reasonable opinion of the Issuing Lender, require that any obligation under any Letter of Credit be treated as an asset or otherwise be included for purposes of calculating the appropriate amount of capital to be maintained by the Issuing Lender or any corporation controlling the Issuing Lender, and such Change in Law shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Issuing Lender’s or such corporation’s capital, as the case may be, as a consequence of the Issuing Lender’s obligations under such Letter of Credit to a level below that which the Issuing Lender or such corporation, as the case may be, could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into account the Issuing Lender’s or such corporation’s policies, as the case may be, with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by the Issuing Lender to be material, then from time to time following notice by the Issuing Lender to Borrower of such Change in Law, within 15 days after demand by the Issuing Lender, Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Issuing Lender or such corporation, as the case may be, for such reduction. The Issuing Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of paragraph (a) or (b) of this subsection 3.10 with respect to the Issuing Lender, it will, if requested by Borrower and to the extent permitted by law or by the relevant Governmental Authority, endeavor in good faith to avoid or minimize the increase in costs or reduction in payments resulting from such event; provided that such avoidance or minimization can be made in such a

-43-

manner that the Issuing Lender, in its sole determination, suffers no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage. Borrower shall not be required to make any payments to the Issuing Lender for any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection 3.10(b) unless the Issuing Lender has given written notice to Borrower of its intent to request such payments prior to or within 60 days after the date on which the Issuing Lender became entitled to claim such amounts. A certificate, in reasonable detail setting forth the calculation of the amounts involved, submitted by the Issuing Lender to Borrower concurrently with any such demand by the Issuing Lender, shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, as to the amount thereof.

(c) Borrower and each Participating Lender agree that the provisions of the foregoing paragraphs (a) and (b) shall apply equally to each Participating Lender in respect of its L/C Participating Interest in such Letter of Credit, as if the references in such paragraphs and provisions referred to, where applicable, such Participating Lender or, in the case of paragraph (b), any corporation controlling such Participating Lender.

3.11. Further Assurances. Borrower hereby agrees, from time to time, to do and perform any and all acts and to execute any and all further instruments reasonably requested by the Issuing Lender more fully to effect the purposes of this Agreement and the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder.

3.12. Obligations Absolute. The payment obligations of Borrower under this Agreement with respect to the Letters of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, the following circumstances:

(i) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which Borrower or any of its Qualified Subsidiaries may have at any time against any beneficiary, or any transferee, of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Credit Document, the transactions contemplated herein, or any unrelated transaction;

(ii) any statement or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, except arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender;

(iii) payment by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or is insufficient in any respect, except where such payment constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender; or

(iv) any other circumstances or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, except for any such circumstances or happening constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender.

The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity,

-44-

the Borrower will immediately 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.

3.13. Participations. The obligation of each Revolving Credit Lender to purchase participating interests pursuant to subsection 3.6 shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Issuing Lender, Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of an Event of Default; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower; (iv) any breach of this Agreement by Borrower or any other Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

3.14. Role of Issuing Lenders. Each 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 Affiliates nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the Issuing Lender shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required 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 related documents. 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 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 Affiliates 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 (iv) of subsection 3.12; provided, 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 willful misconduct or gross negligence or the Issuing Lender’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

3.15. Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if the Issuing Lender has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in a deemed borrowing, or (ii) if, as of the expiration date of the Letter of Credit any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case, immediately cash collateralize the then outstanding amount of all L/C Obligations.

SECTION 4. GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO LOANS

4.1. Procedure for Borrowing. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Borrower may borrow under the Commitments on any Business Day; provided that, with respect to any borrowing, Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent (or, with respect to Swing Line Loans, the Swing Line Lender) irrevocable notice substantially in the form of Exhibit Q to the Original Credit Agreement (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 noon (or, with respect to Swing Line Loans, 1:00 p.m.) (i) three Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date if all or any part of the Loans are to be Eurodollar Loans and (ii) one Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing Date (or, in the case of Swing Line Loans, on the requested Borrowing Date) if the borrowing is to be solely of Alternate Base Rate Loans) and in either case specifying (a) the amount of the borrowing, (b) whether such Loans are initially to be Eurodollar Loans or Alternate Base Rate Loans or a combination thereof, (c) if the borrowing is to be entirely or partly Eurodollar Loans, the length of the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loans and (d) whether the Loan is a Term Loan, a Swing Line Loan or Revolving Credit Loan. Upon receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender thereof. Not later than 12:00 noon on the Borrowing Date specified in such notice, each affected Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in subsection 11.2 (or at such other location as the Administrative Agent may direct) an amount in immediately available funds equal to the amount of the Loan to be made by such Lender (except that proceeds of Swing Line Loans will be made available to Borrower in accordance with subsection 3.4(a)). Loan proceeds received by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall promptly be made available to Borrower in immediately available funds to be delivered by wire transfer to the account(s) designated by Borrower in the applicable borrowing notice, with the aggregate amount actually received by the Administrative Agent from the Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

(b) Any borrowing of Eurodollar Loans hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, (i) the aggregate principal amount of all Eurodollar Loans having the same Interest Period shall not be less than $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, and (ii) no more than ten Interest Periods shall be in effect at any one time.

4.2. Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) Subject to subsection 4.15, Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans into Alternate Base Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice of such election, to be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 noon at least three Business Days prior to the proposed conversion date. Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or a portion of the Alternate Base Rate Loans (other than Swing Line Loans) then outstanding to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice of such election, to be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 noon at least three Business Days prior to the proposed conversion date, specifying the Interest Period selected therefor. Such conversion shall be made on the requested conversion date or, if such requested conversion date is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day; provided that no such conversion shall be made when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Required Lenders have, by written notice to Borrower, determined that such conversion is not appropriate. Upon receipt of any notice pursuant to this subsection 4.2, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender thereof. All or any part of the outstanding Loans (other than Swing Line Loans) may be converted as provided herein; provided that partial conversions of Alternate Base Rate Loans shall be in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and the aggregate principal amount of the resulting Eurodollar Loans outstanding in respect of any one Interest Period shall be at least $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.

-46-

(b) Any Eurodollar Loans may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by Borrower giving notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in subsection 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans; provided that no Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Required Lenders have, by written notice to Borrower, determined that such a continuation is not appropriate, (ii) if, after giving effect thereto, subsection 4.1(b) would be contravened or (iii) after the date that is one month prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date (in the case of continuations of Revolving Credit Loans) or the final Installment Payment Date of the Term Loans.

4.3. Changes of Commitment Amounts. (a) Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time subsequent to the Original Closing Date, to terminate or from time to time to permanently reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments and/or any Incremental Revolving Commitments, subject to the provisions of this subsection 4.3.

To the extent, if any, that the sum of the amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations then outstanding and the amounts available to be drawn under outstanding Letters of Credit exceeds the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments and any Incremental Revolving Commitments, as then reduced, Borrower shall be required to make a prepayment equal to such excess amount, the proceeds of which shall be applied, first, to payment of the Swing Line Loans then outstanding, second, to payment of any L/C Obligations then outstanding, third to payment of the Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding and fourth, to cash collateralize any outstanding Letters of Credit on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Any termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and any Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be accompanied by prepayment in full of the Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations then outstanding in excess of the then outstanding Revolving Credit Commitments and any Incremental Revolving Commitments after giving effect to such reduction and by cash collateralization of any outstanding Letters of Credit on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Upon termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and any Incremental Revolving Commitments, any Letter of Credit then outstanding that has been so cash collateralized shall no longer be considered a “Letter of Credit” as defined in subsection 1.1 and any L/C Participating Interests granted by the Issuing Lender to the Lenders prior to the Original Closing Date in such Letter of Credit shall be deemed terminated (subject to automatic reinstatement in the event that such cash collateral is returned and the Issuing Lender is not fully reimbursed for any such L/C Obligations) but the Letter of Credit fees payable under subsection 3.9 shall continue to accrue to the Issuing Lender and the Participating Lenders (or, in the event of any such automatic reinstatement, as provided in subsection 3.9) with respect to such Letter of Credit until the expiry thereof (provided that in lieu of paying a Standby L/C or Commercial L/C fee, as the case may be, equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Loans which are Eurodollar Loans per annum, Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender an amount equal to 0.25% per annum).

(b) In the case of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments, interest accrued on the amount of any prepayment relating thereto and any unpaid commitment fee accrued hereunder shall be paid on the date of such termination. Any such partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments,

-47-

shall be in an amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and shall, in each case, reduce permanently the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments then in effect.

(c)(i) The Tranche B-1 Term Loan Commitments and any Incremental Term Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced upon the making of a Tranche B-1 Term Loan or Incremental Term Loan, as the case may be, by the amount of such Loan and (ii) the Incremental Term Commitments under any Incremental Facility shall be terminated effective as of the day after the effective date of the Incremental Loan Amendment relating thereto.

4.4. Optional Prepayments. Subject to subsection 4.15, Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, by irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent by 12:00 noon on the Business Day preceding the proposed date of prepayment in the case of Alternate Base Rate Loans, by 12:00 noon on the third Business Day preceding the proposed date of prepayment in the case of Eurodollar Loans, specifying the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans. Upon receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. If such notice is given, Borrower shall make such prepayment, and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable, on the date specified therein. Partial prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to this subsection 4.4 shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the lesser of (a) (i) $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof with respect to Eurodollar Loans or (ii) $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof with respect to Alternate Base Rate Loans and (b) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Term Loans. Partial prepayments of Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this subsection shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the lesser of (a) (i) $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof with respect to Eurodollar Loans or (ii) $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof with respect to Alternate Base Rate Loans and (b) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans (or the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans maintained as Alternate Base Rate Loans (in the case of a prepayment of such Revolving Credit Loans) or as Eurodollar Loans with a single Interest Period (in the case of a prepayment of such Revolving Credit Loans)), as the case may be. Prepayments of the Term Loans pursuant to this subsection 4.4 shall be applied in accordance with subsection 4.7 below.

4.5. Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) Equity Issuances. If, subsequent to the Original Closing Date, Holdings or Borrower shall issue any Capital Stock (it being understood that the issuance of debt securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, Capital Stock shall be governed by subsection 4.5(b) below), or receive any contributions in respect of its capital, within five Business Days of receipt of any Net Proceeds therefrom, Borrowers shall prepay outstanding Loans in an amount equal to 75% of such Net Proceeds and such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with subsection 4.7 below; provided that, following receipt by the Administrative Agent of the financial statements required by subsection 7.1 for the second fiscal quarter beginning after the Original Closing Date, (x) such percentage shall be reduced to 50% with respect to such Net Proceeds (or a smaller portion thereof, as the case may be) if the Total Leverage Ratio is less than 5.75 to 1.00 but greater than or equal to 5.00 to 1.00 as of the date of receipt of such Net Proceeds after giving effect to the prepayment required by this subsection 4.5(a) with such Net Proceeds (or such smaller portion thereof) and (y) such percentage shall be reduced to 0% with respect to such Net Proceeds (or a smaller portion thereof, as the case may be) if the Total Leverage Ratio is less

(d) Casualty Events. If, subsequent to the Original Closing Date, Holdings, Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall receive proceeds from insurance recoveries in respect of any Destruction or any proceeds or awards in respect of any Taking, in each case, in excess of $500,000, within five Business Days of receipt of such Net Proceeds, Borrower shall prepay outstanding Loans in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Proceeds thereof and such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with subsection 4.7 below subject to Borrower’s right to reinvest or restore under subsection 12.2.

(e) Excess Cash Flow. If, for the period commencing on July 1, 2004 and ending on December 31, 2004 and for any fiscal year of Holdings commencing with its fiscal year ending on December 31, 2005, there shall be Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal period or year, as applicable, not later than 90 days after the end of such period or fiscal year, Borrower shall prepay Loans in an amount equal to 75% of such Excess Cash Flow and such prepayment shall be applied in accordance with subsection 4.7 below; provided that such percentage shall be reduced to 50.0% with respect to such Excess Cash Flow (or portion thereof) if the Total Leverage Ratio as of the end of such period or fiscal year is or after giving effect to the prepayment required by this subsection 4.5(e) with such Excess Cash Flow (or such smaller portion thereof) would be less than 5.00 to 1.00 but greater than or equal to 4.25 to 1.00; provided further that such percentage shall be reduced to 25% with respect to such Excess Cash Flow (or a smaller portion thereof) if the Total Leverage Ratio as of the end of such period or fiscal year is, or after giving effect to the prepayment required by this subsection 4.5(e) with such Excess Cash Flow (or such smaller portion thereof) would be, less than 4.25 to 1.00.

4.6. Repayment of Term Loans. (a) Subject to clause (b) below, the Tranche B-1 Term Loans shall be repaid on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and on the Tranche B-1 Maturity Date (each such day, a “Tranche B-1 Installment Payment Date”), in the amounts set forth below for the periods set forth below plus the amounts set forth in any Incremental Loan Amendment for Incremental Term Loans that are Tranche B-1 Term Loans which shall be in proportion to the percentages set for below (in each case, subject to reduction as described in subsections 4.4, 4.5 and 4.7).


Period		Amount
December 2006 – March 2011		$3,157,512.12 per fiscal quarter

Tranche B-1 Maturity Date		$183,135,702.61

Amounts repaid on account of the Tranche B-1 Term Loans pursuant to this subsection or otherwise may not be reborrowed. Accrued interest on the amount of any prepayments shall be paid on the Interest Payment Date next succeeding the date of any partial prepayment and on the date of such prepayment in the case of a prepayment in full of the Tranche B-1 Term Loans. To the extent not previously paid, all Tranche B-1 Term Loans shall be due and payable on the Tranche B-1 Maturity Date.

(b) The applicable Incremental Loan Amendment may provide for scheduled repayments of any Incremental Term Loans that are not Term B-1 Loans (each such day, an “Incremental Installment Payment Date”), subject to the requirements of the definition of Incremental Term Maturity Date.

4.7. Application of Prepayments. (a) Prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to subsection 4.4 shall be applied as elected by Borrower. Subject to subsection 4.7(d), prepayments pursuant to subsection 4.5 shall be applied first, to Term Loans outstanding and second, to the extent no Term Loans remain outstanding, to the Revolving Credit Loans in the amount of the Net Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow remaining to be applied; provided that so long as an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, prepayments pursuant to subsection 4.5 shall be applied to Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on a pro rata basis; provided further that in the case of a prepayment pursuant to subsection 4.5 (b), (c) or (d), there shall be permanent reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments (on a pro rata basis between them) by the amount of Net Proceeds applied to the Revolving Credit Loans. Following any such reduction, Borrower shall comply with the second paragraph of subsection 4.3(a).

(b) Prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to subsection 4.5 shall be applied pro rata to the Tranche B-1 Term Loans and any Incremental Term Loans that are not Tranche B-1 Term Loans based upon the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans then outstanding under each Tranche of Term Loans; within each Tranche, prepayments will be applied to the remaining installments of principal on a pro rata basis. Except as otherwise may be directed by Borrower, any prepayment of Loans pursuant to this subsection 4.7 shall be applied, first, to any Alternate Base Rate Loans of the applicable Tranche then outstanding and the balance of such prepayment, if any, to the Eurodollar Loans of the applicable Tranche

-50-

then outstanding; provided that prepayments of Eurodollar Loans, if not on the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto, shall, at the option of Borrower, be prepaid subject to the provisions of subsection 4.15 or the amount of such prepayment (after application to any Alternate Base Rate Loans) shall be deposited with the Administrative Agent as cash collateral for the Loans on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and thereafter shall be applied in the order of the Interest Periods of the applicable Tranche next ending most closely to the date such prepayment is required to be made and on the last day of each such Interest Period. After such application, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (in which case such interest shall be held as cash collateral or applied by the Administrative Agent to any Obligations then due and payable), any remaining interest earned on such cash collateral shall be paid to Borrower.

(c) Upon (i) mandatory prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to subsection 4.5(a) or (b), (ii) voluntary prepayment of Term Loans from any Net Proceeds received from the issuance by Holdings or Borrower or any Capital Stock (other than the issuance of debt securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, Capital Stock) or any contributions in respect of its capital or (iii) voluntary prepayment of Term Loans from any Net Proceeds received from the incurrence of any Indebtedness (including pursuant to debt securities which are convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, Capital Stock) by Holdings, Borrower or any of its Qualified Subsidiaries, Borrower shall pay a premium equal to 1.00% of the principal amount prepaid to Term Loan Lenders if such prepayment is made on or prior to November 14, 2007.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in subsection 4.5(e) or subsection 4.7(a), with respect to any mandatory prepayments of Tranche B-1 Term Loans required pursuant to subsection 4.5(e) in respect of Holdings’ fiscal year 2006 and each fiscal year thereafter, if the Administrative Agent receives notice from the Borrower that a mandatory prepayment is required to be made pursuant to subsection 4.5(e) then the Administrative Agent shall notify the Tranche B-1 Lenders of such notice and the amount of the repayment to be applied to each such Lender’s Tranche B-1 Term Loan. Each Tranche B-1 Lender shall have the option to waive up to 50% of its share of such mandatory prepayment. If a Tranche B-1 Lender desires to waive its right to receive up to 50% of any such mandatory prepayment, it shall do so by providing a notice to the Administrative Agent (which notice shall also include any amount of the Tranche B-1 Lender’s share of the prepayment it desires to receive) no later than 5:00 P.M. (New York time) five Business Days after the date the original notice of prepayment was delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent. If the Tranche B-1 Lender does not reply to the Administrative Agent within the five Business Day period, it will be deemed acceptance of its share of the total prepayment. If the Tranche B-1 Lender does not specify an amount it wishes to receive, it will be deemed acceptance of all of its share of the total prepayment. In the event that any Tranche B-1 Lender waives its right to any mandatory prepayment in accordance with this subsection 4.7(d), the Borrower shall be entitled to retain the amount of such waived prepayment.

4.8. Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Eurodollar Loans shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period applicable thereto, commencing on (and including) the first day of such Interest Period to, but excluding, the last day of such Interest Period, on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Alternate Base Rate Loans shall bear interest for the period from and including the date such Loans are made to, but excluding, the maturity date thereof, or to, but excluding, the conversion date if such Loans are earlier converted into Eurodollar Loans on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

-51-

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default the overdue amount of any Loans, Interest or other obligations shall, without limiting the rights of the Lenders under Section 9, bear interest (which shall be payable on demand): (a) in the case of any Loan, the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan pursuant to this subsection 4.8 and the Applicable Margin plus 2%; and (b) in all other cases, a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days) equal to the Alternate Base Rate and the Applicable Margin plus 2%.

(d) Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this subsection 4.8, interest shall be payable in arrears (a) for Eurodollar Loans, at the end of each Interest Period (or, for any Interest Period longer than three months, at three month intervals following the first day of such Interest Period) and on the final maturity of the Loans, and (b) for Alternate Base Rate Loans, quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and on the final maturity of the Loans.

4.9. Computation of Interest. (a) Interest in respect of Alternate Base Rate Loans shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be. Interest in respect of Eurodollar Loans shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify Borrower and the Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Alternate Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change in the Alternate Base Rate is announced or such change in the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements becomes effective, as the case may be. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify Borrower and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of Borrower or any Lender, deliver to Borrower or such Lender a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining the Eurodollar Rate.

4.10. Certain Fees. Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, a non-refundable agent’s fee in an amount previously agreed to with the Administrative Agent, payable annually in advance on the Amendment and Restatement Date and on each anniversary thereof unless all Loans have been (or are on such date) repaid and all Commitments hereunder have been (or are on such date) terminated.

4.11. Inability to Determine Interest Rate. In the event that the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower) that (a) by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period with respect to (i) proposed Loans that Borrower has requested be made as Eurodollar Loans, (ii) any Eurodollar Loans that will result from the requested conversion of all or part of the Alternate Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans or (iii) the continuation of any Eurodollar Loan as such for an additional Interest Period, or (b) Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant period with respect to any

-52-

such Eurodollar Loan are not generally available to the Lenders in their respective Eurodollar Lending Offices’ interbank eurodollar markets, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give telecopy notice of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower and the Lenders at least one day prior to, as the case may be, the requested Borrowing Date, the conversion date or the last day of such Interest Period. If such notice is given (i) any requested Eurodollar Loans shall be made as Alternate Base Rate Loans, (ii) any Alternate Base Rate Loans that were to have been converted to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as Alternate Base Rate Loans, and (iii) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans shall be converted on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto into Alternate Base Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans shall be made and no Alternate Base Rate Loans shall be converted to Eurodollar Loans.

4.12. Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, each borrowing of Loans by Borrower from the Lenders and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders hereunder shall be made pro rata according to the relevant Commitment Percentages of the Lenders with respect to the Loans borrowed or the Commitments to be reduced.

(b) Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any Note or any other Credit Document is insufficient to pay in full all amounts then due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the following order: first, to the payment of fees and expenses due and payable to the Administrative Agent (in such capacity and not in its capacity as a Lender) under and in connection with this Agreement and the other Credit Documents; second, to the payment of all expenses due and payable under subsection 11.5, ratably among the Lenders in accordance with the aggregate amount of such payments owed to each such Lender; third, to the payment of fees due and payable under subsections 3.2 and 3.9, ratably among the Lenders in accordance with the Commitment Percentage of each Lender of the Commitment for which such payment is owed and, in the case of the Issuing Lender, the amount retained by the Issuing Lender for its own account pursuant to subsection 3.9; fourth, to the payment of interest then due and payable on the Loans and the L/C Obligations ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of interest owed to each such Lender; and fifth, to the payment of the principal amount of the Loans and the L/C Obligations which is then due and payable ratably among the Lenders in accordance with the aggregate principal amount owed to each such Lender.

(c) If any Lender (a “Non-Funding Lender”) has (x) failed to make a Revolving Credit Loan required to be made by it hereunder, and the Administrative Agent has determined that such Lender is not likely to make such Revolving Credit Loan or (y) given notice to Borrower or the Administrative Agent that it will not make, or that it has disaffirmed or repudiated any obligation to make, any Revolving Credit Loan, in each case by reason of the provisions of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, as amended, or otherwise, (i) any payment made on account of the principal of the Revolving Credit Loans outstanding shall be made as follows:

(A) in the case of any such payment made on any date when and to the extent that, in the determination of the Administrative Agent, Borrower would be able under the terms and conditions hereof to reborrow the amount of such payment under the Commitments and to satisfy any applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 6 to such reborrowing, such payment shall be made on account of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans held by the Lenders other than the Non-Funding Lender pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans of such Lenders; and

-53-

(B) otherwise, such payment shall be made on account of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans held by the Lenders pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of such Revolving Credit Loans; and

(ii) any payment made on account of interest on the Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective amounts of accrued and unpaid interest due and payable on the Revolving Credit Loans with respect to which such payment is being made. Borrower agrees to give the Administrative Agent such assistance in making any determination pursuant to subparagraph (i)(A) of this paragraph (c) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. Any such determination by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding on the Lenders.

(d) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by Borrower on account of principal, interest and fees shall be made without set-off, counterclaim or other defense and shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders at the Administrative Agent’s office located at 4 World Financial Center, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such payments in accordance with the provisions of subsection 4.12(b) upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on Eurodollar Loans) would become due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall become due and payable on the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (and with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension), unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount which would constitute its Commitment Percentage of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent in accordance with subsection 4.1 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Rate for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this subsection 4.12(e) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. If such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such borrowing is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Alternate Base Rate Loans hereunder (in lieu of any otherwise applicable interest), on demand, from Borrower, without prejudice to any rights which any such Borrower or the Administrative Agent may have against such Lender hereunder. Nothing contained in this subsection 4.12 shall relieve any Lender which has failed to make available its ratable portion of any borrowing hereunder from its obligation to do so in accordance with the terms hereof.

-54-

(f) The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it on any Borrowing Date shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on such Borrowing Date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on such Borrowing Date.

(g) All payments and optional prepayments (other than prepayments as set forth in subsection 4.14 with respect to increased costs) of Eurodollar Loans hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of all Eurodollar Loans with the same Interest Period shall not be less than $1,000,000 a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.

4.13. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any Change in Law occurring after the date that any Person becomes a Lender party to this Agreement shall make it unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans or to convert all or a portion of Alternate Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be suspended until such time, if any, as such illegality shall no longer exist and such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Alternate Base Rate Loans for the duration of the respective Interest Periods (or, if permitted by applicable law, at the end of such Interest Periods) and all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to such Eurodollar Loans shall be applied instead to such Lender’s Alternate Base Rate Loans. Borrower hereby agrees to pay any Lender, promptly upon its demand, any amounts payable pursuant to subsection 4.15 in connection with any conversion in accordance with this subsection 4.13 (such Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified in reasonable detail as to such amounts to Borrower through the Administrative Agent, to be conclusive absent manifest error).

4.14. Requirements of Law. (a) In the event that any Change in Law or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority occurring after the earlier of the date that any lender became a party to the Original Credit Agreement or becomes a Lender party to this Agreement:

(i) does or shall subject any such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Note or any Eurodollar Loans made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office of principal, the commitment fee, interest or any other amount payable hereunder (except for (x) Excluded Taxes and (y) taxes resulting from the substitution of any system of Excluded Taxes by another system of taxation, provided that the taxes payable by Lenders subject to such other system of taxation are not generally grossed-up under senior secured credit facilities of U.S. corporate borrowers);

(ii) does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which are not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate; or

-55-

(iii) does or shall impose on such Lender any other condition which is applicable to lenders generally;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office of making, converting, renewing or maintaining advances or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, in each case, in respect of its Eurodollar Loans, then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which such Lender deems to be material as reasonably determined by such Lender with respect to such Eurodollar Loans, together with interest on each such amount from the date demanded until payment in full thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus 1%.

(b) In the event that any Change in Law occurring after the earlier of the date that any Person became a Lender party to the Original Credit Agreement or becomes a Lender party to this Agreement with respect to any such Lender shall, in the reasonable opinion of such Lender, require that any Commitment of such Lender be treated as an asset or otherwise be included for purposes of calculating the appropriate amount of capital to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender, and such Change in Law shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital, as the case may be, as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation, as the case may be, could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into account such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies, as the case may be, with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time following notice by such Lender to Borrower of such Change in Law as provided in paragraph (c) of this subsection 4.14, within 15 days after demand by such Lender, Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation on an after-Tax basis, as the case may be, for such reduction.

(c) Borrower shall not be required to make any payments to any Lender for any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection 4.14 unless such Lender has given written notice to Borrower, through the Administrative Agent, of its intent to request such payments prior to or within 60 days after the date on which such Lender became entitled to claim such amounts. If any Lender has notified Borrower through the Administrative Agent of any increased costs pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection 4.14, Borrower at any time thereafter may, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and subject to subsection 4.15, prepay (or convert into Alternate Base Rate Loans) all (but not a part) of the Eurodollar Loans of the applicable Lender then outstanding. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of paragraph (a) of this subsection 4.14 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by Borrower and to the extent permitted by law or by the relevant Governmental Authority, endeavor in good faith to avoid or minimize the increase in costs or reduction in payments resulting from such event (including, without limitation, endeavoring to change its Eurodollar Lending Office); provided that such avoidance or minimization can be made in such a manner that such Lender, in its sole determination, suffers no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage. If any Lender requests compensation from any Borrower under this subsection 4.14, Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender thereafter to make or continue Loans of the Type with respect to which such compensation is requested, or to convert Loans of any other Type into Loans of such Type, until the Requirement of Law giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect; provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.

-56-

(d)(i) Subject to subsection 4.14(d)(iv) below, all payments by Borrower or any Guarantor to or for the account of any Lender, Issuing Lender or Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note or other Credit Document shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense and free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any and all Covered Taxes. If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender, Issuing Lender or Administrative Agent, (a) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this subsection 4.14(d)) such Lender, Issuing Lender or Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (b) Borrower shall make such deductions or withholdings, (c) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law and (d) Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent the original copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof within 30 days after such payment is made.

(ii) In addition, Borrower hereby agrees to pay and indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each Lender and Issuing Lender from any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made or required to be made hereunder or under any Note or other Credit Document or from the execution, delivery, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note or Guarantee, and all interest, fines, penalties and additions to tax and related expenses with regard thereto (“Other Taxes”).

(iii) Subject to subsection 4.14(d)(iv) below, Borrower and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless Administrative Agent and each Lender and Issuing Lender for the full amount of Covered Taxes (including, without limitation, any Covered Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this subsection 4.14(d)) payable by Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Lender and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Covered Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Payments due under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days of the date Administrative Agent or such Lender or Issuing Lender makes demand therefor.

(iv) Each Lender that is not a United States Person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for United States federal income tax purposes of the Code, (i) agrees, to the extent legally entitled to do so, to furnish to Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, an applicable United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 (or successor form) (wherein such Lender claims entitlement at the Original Closing Date (or, (x) in the case of a Tranche B-1 Lender that is not a Lender under the Original Credit Agreement, on the Amendment and Restatement Date and (y) in the case of an Assignee, on the date it becomes a Lender) to a complete exemption from or a reduction in, United States federal withholding tax on interest payments hereunder) and (ii) agrees (for the benefit of Borrower and the Administrative Agent), to the extent legally entitled do so at such times, upon reasonable request by Borrower or the Administrative Agent, to provide Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a new Form W-8 (or successor form) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form and comparable statements in accordance with applicable United States laws and regulations duly executed and completed by such Lender that establishes a complete exemption from, or a reduction in, United States federal withholding tax on interest payments hereunder or (2) in the case of a Lender that is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (i) agrees, to the extent legally entitled to

-57-

do so, to furnish to Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, (a) a Non-Bank Certificate and (b) two accurate and complete original signed copies of an applicable United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 (or successor form) and any other required forms reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent, certifying to such Lender’s legal entitlement at the Original Closing Date (or, (x) in the case of a Tranche B-1 Lender that is not a Lender under the Original Credit Agreement, on the Amendment and Restatement Date and (y) in the case of an Assignee, on the date it becomes a Lender) to a complete exemption from or a reduction in, United States federal withholding tax, under the provisions of Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code or an applicable income tax treaty with respect to interest payments to be made under this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of this subsection 4.14 to the contrary, Borrower shall have no obligation to pay any amount to or for the account of any Lender on account of any United States federal withholding taxes pursuant to this subsection 4.14, to the extent that such amount results from the failure of any Lender to comply with its obligations pursuant to this subsection 4.14.

(e) A certificate in reasonable detail as to any amounts submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to Borrower, shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The covenants contained in this subsection 4.14 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and repayment of the Loans.

4.15. Indemnity. Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors agree to jointly and severally indemnify each Lender and to hold such Lender harmless from any loss or expense (but (x) without duplication of any amounts payable as default interest and (y) excluding any loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by Borrower in making a borrowing after Borrower has given a notice in accordance with subsection 4.1 or in making a conversion of Alternate Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans or in continuing Eurodollar Loans as such, in either case, after Borrower has given notice in accordance with subsection 4.2, (b) default by Borrower in making any prepayment after Borrower has given a notice in accordance with subsection 4.4 or (c) a payment or prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan or conversion (including without limitation, as a result of subsection 4.4, 4.5 or 4.6 and/or a conversion pursuant to subsection 4.13) of any Eurodollar Loan into an Alternate Base Rate Loan, in either case on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, including, but not limited to, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain its Eurodollar Loans hereunder (but excluding loss of profit). This covenant shall survive termination of this Agreement and repayment of the Loans. The payment of an amount due hereunder as a result of Borrower failing to make a borrowing, payment or conversion after delivering notice of the same shall constitute a cure of any Default or Event of Default arising therefrom.

4.16. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender (i) the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan of such Lender on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, (ii) the principal amount of the Tranche B-1 Term Loan (including the principal amount of any Incremental Term Loan that is a Tranche B-1 Term Loan) of such Lender, in installments, payable on each Tranche B-1 Installment Payment Date, in accordance with subsection 4.6(b) (or the then unpaid principal amount of such Tranche B-1 Term Loan on the date that the Tranche B-1 Term Loans become due and payable pursuant to Section 9), and (iii) the then unpaid principal amount of the Swing Line Loans of the Swing Line Lender on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

-58-

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to subsection 11.6(d), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Revolving Credit Loan, Tranche B-1 Term Loan and any Incremental Term Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and each Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to subsection 4.16(b) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of Borrower therein recorded; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to Borrower by such Lender or to repay any other obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender (i) a promissory note of Borrower evidencing the Revolving Credit Loans of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit A to the Original Credit Agreement with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount (a “Revolving Credit Note”), (ii) a promissory note of such Borrower evidencing the Tranche B-1 Term Loan of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit B with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount (a “Tranche B-1 Term Note”), (iii) a promissory note of Borrower evidencing any Incremental Term Loan of such Lender (an “Incremental Term Note”) and/or (iv) in the case of the Swing Line Lender, a promissory note of Borrower evidencing the Swing Line Loans of the Swing Line Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit C to the Original Credit Agreement with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount (the “Swing Line Note”).

4.17. Replacement of Lenders. In the event any Lender or the Issuing Lender is a Non-Funding Lender and exercises its rights pursuant to subsection 4.13 or requests payments pursuant to subsection 3.10 or 4.14, Borrower may require, at Borrower’s expense (including payment of any processing fees under subsection 11.6(e)) and subject to subsection 4.15, such Lender or the Issuing Lender to assign, at par plus accrued interest and fees, without recourse (in accordance with subsection 11.6) all of its interests, rights and obligations hereunder (including all of its Commitments and the Loans and other amounts at the time owing to it hereunder and its Notes and its interest in the Letters of Credit) to a bank, financial institution or other entity specified by Borrower; provided that (i) such assignment shall not conflict with or violate any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority, (ii) in the case of the assignment of any commitment to a non-preexisting Lender, Borrower shall have received the written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be

-59-

withheld, to such assignment, (iii) Borrower shall have paid to the assigning Lender or the Issuing Lender all monies other than principal, interest and fees accrued and owing hereunder to it (including pursuant to subsections 3.10, 4.13, 4.14 and 4.15) and (iv) in the case of a required assignment by the Issuing Lender, the Letters of Credit shall be canceled and returned to the Issuing Lender.

4.18. Procedure for Incremental Loan Requests. Borrower may solicit requests from any one or more Lenders or other financial institutions for the provision of (i) a commitment for an Incremental Revolving Loan (each, an “Incremental Revolving Commitment”) or an Incremental Term Loan (each, an “Incremental Term Commitment”), as the case may be, and (ii) the margins, if any, to be added by such Lenders or other financial institutions to the Alternate Base Rate and the Eurodollar Rate for Loans made under such Incremental Revolving Commitments or Incremental Term Commitments (any such margin, an “Incremental Margin”); provided that if, pursuant to an Incremental Loan Amendment with respect to an Incremental Term Loan that is not a Tranche B-1 Term Loan, any net yield for such Incremental Term Loan is in excess of 25 basis points above the comparable margin set forth for Tranche B-1 Term Loans in the definition of Applicable Margin, the Applicable Margin for outstanding Tranche B-1 Term Loans shall automatically be increased, as of the effective date of the applicable Incremental Loan Amendment, to any extent required so that the margin applicable thereto is 25 basis points less than the margin for such Incremental Term Loan without any action or consent of Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender. The Administrative Agent shall approve any financial institution wishing to provide an Incremental Revolving Commitment, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.

SECTION 5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans and to induce the Issuing Lender to issue, and the Participating Lenders to participate in, the Letters of Credit, Borrower and Holdings hereby represent and warrant to each Lender and the Administrative Agent as of the Original Closing Date after giving effect to the Merger and, except as otherwise stated to be as of a different date, as of the date of the making of any extension of credit hereunder:

5.1. Financial Statements; Financial Condition. (a) The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of Borrower at March 31, 2004 (the “Pro Forma Balance Sheet”) and the related unaudited pro forma statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2003 and the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 (collectively, the “Pro Forma Financial Statements”), copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, have been prepared giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions as if they had occurred on March 31, 2004 in the case of such balance sheet and on January 1, 2003 in the case of such statements of operations. The Pro Forma Financial Statements (each of which have undergone a Quarterly Review) have been prepared in good faith by Borrower, based on assumptions Borrower believes to be reasonable, accurately reflect in all material respects all adjustments required to be made to give effect to the Transactions and present fairly in all material respects on a Pro Forma Basis the financial position and results of operations of Holdings and its Subsidiaries as at and for such dates, assuming that the Transactions had actually occurred at such dates.

(b) All financial statements delivered pursuant to subsection 6.1(u) of the Original Credit Agreement, 7.1(a) or 7.1(b) present fairly in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the entities to which they relate as of the dates and for the periods indicated. All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in

-60-

accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as disclosed therein and except that any such unaudited financial statements lack footnote disclosure and normal year-end audit adjustments).

(c) Except as set forth in the financial statements delivered pursuant to subsection 6.1(u) of the Original Credit Agreement, after giving effect to the Indebtedness, customary liabilities in respect of expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions and liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business of the Credit Parties since the date of the most recent such financial statements, as of the Original Closing Date there are no material liabilities of the Credit Parties of any kind (including, without limitation, liabilities for taxes, or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives) required to be set forth on a balance sheet or in the notes thereto prepared in accordance with GAAP, whether accrued, contingent, absolute, determined, determinable or otherwise, and there is no existing condition, situation or set of circumstances which is reasonably likely to result in such a liability.

5.2. No Change. Since December 31, 2003, after giving effect to the Transactions, there has been no change, development or event which, individually or when taken together with all other circumstances, changes or events, has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

5.3. Existence; Compliance with Law. Each of Holdings and its Subsidiaries (a) is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has full power and authority and possesses all governmental franchises, licenses, permits, authorizations and approvals necessary to enable it to use its corporate name and to own, lease or otherwise hold its properties and assets and to carry on its business as presently conducted other than such franchises, licenses, permits, authorizations and approvals the lack of which, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (c) is duly qualified and in good standing (to the extent such concept is applicable in the applicable jurisdiction) to do business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the ownership, leasing or holding of its properties makes such qualification necessary, except such jurisdictions where the failure so to qualify, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all applicable statutes (including the Fair Labor Standards Act, as amended), laws (including Environmental Laws), ordinances, rules, orders, permits (including Environmental Permits) and regulations of any Governmental Authority or instrumentality, domestic or foreign (including, without limitation, those related to Hazardous Materials and substances), except where noncompliance individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written communication from a Governmental Authority that alleges that Holdings, or any of its Subsidiaries is not in compliance with federal, state, local or foreign laws, ordinances, rules and regulations, except to the extent such noncompliance, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.4. Power; Authorization. Each Credit Party has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform each of the Credit Documents to which it is a party, and Borrower has the power and authority and legal right to borrow hereunder and to have Letters of Credit issued for its account hereunder. Each Credit Party has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of each of the Credit Documents to which it is or will be a party and Borrower has taken all

-61-

necessary action to authorize the borrowings hereunder and the issuance of Letters of Credit for its account hereunder. No consent or authorization of, or filing with, any Person (including, without limitation, any Governmental Authority) is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by any Credit Party, or for the validity or enforceability in accordance with its terms against any Credit Party, of any Credit Document currently in effect except for (i) consents, authorizations and filings which have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (ii) such consents, authorizations and filings which the failure to obtain or perform, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (iii) such filings as are necessary to perfect the Liens of the Lenders created pursuant to this Agreement and the Security Documents.

5.5. Enforceable Obligations. This Agreement and each of the other Credit Documents have been, duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Credit Party that is party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each of the other Credit Documents currently in effect constitute, or will constitute, as the case may be, upon execution and delivery thereof, the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Credit Party that is party thereto, and is enforceable against each Credit Party that is party thereto in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

5.6. No Legal Bar. None of the execution, delivery or performance by each Credit Party of each Credit Document currently in effect to which it is a party and the incurrence and use of the proceeds of the Loans and the issuance of and of drawings under the Letters of Credit (a) will violate any Requirement of Law, constitutive document or any Contractual Obligation applicable to or binding upon such Credit Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets, in any manner which, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (b) will result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of its properties or assets pursuant to any Requirement of Law applicable to it, as the case may be, or any of its Contractual Obligations, except for the Liens arising under the Security Documents and Permitted Liens.

5.7. No Material Litigation. There is no pending or, to the knowledge of any Credit Party, threatened claim, legal action, arbitration or other legal, governmental, administrative or tax proceeding or any order, complaint, decree or judgment involving or affecting the Transactions, Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties, assets, operations or businesses which have had, or are reasonably likely to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

5.8. Investment Company Act. No Credit Party is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” (as each of the quoted terms is defined or used in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) that is required to be registered under such Act.

5.9. Federal Regulation. The extensions of credit hereunder will not be used for “buying” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U as in effect on the Original Closing Date and from time to time thereafter in effect or for any purpose that violates the provisions of the regulations of the Board. If requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1, as applicable, referred to in Regulation U. Following application of the proceeds of each extension of credit hereunder, not more than 25 percent of the value of the assets of any Credit Party will be Margin Stock (as defined in Regulation U). No Credit Party is subject to regulation under any law or regulation which limits its ability to incur Indebtedness, other than Regulation X of the Board.

-62-

5.10. No Default. Each of Holdings and its Subsidiaries have performed all material obligations required to be performed by them under their respective Contractual Obligations (including after giving effect to the Transactions) and they are not (with or without the lapse of time or the giving of notice, or both) in breach or default in any respect thereunder, except to the extent that such breach or default, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries (including after giving effect to the Transactions) is in default under any material judgment, order or decree of any Governmental Authority, domestic or foreign, applicable to it or any of its respective properties, assets, operations or business, except to the extent that any such defaults could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.11. Taxes. Each of Holdings and its Subsidiaries (including after giving effect to the Transactions) (i) has timely filed or caused to be timely filed all material tax returns, statements, forms and reports (domestic or foreign) which are required to be filed (and all such tax returns were true and correct in all material respects when and as filed) and (ii) has timely paid all Taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than with respect to any Taxes (x) the amount of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves (or other sufficient provisions) in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of Holdings or one of its Subsidiaries (including after giving effect to the Transactions), as the case may be, and (y) which could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect). Each of Holdings and its Subsidiaries is unaware of any proposed or pending tax assessments, deficiencies or audits that could be reasonably expected to, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither Holdings nor its Subsidiaries is a party to any understanding or arrangement constituting a “tax shelter” within the meaning of Section 6111(c), Section 6111(d) or Section 6662(d)(2)(C)(iii) of the Code, or has “participated” in a “reportable transaction” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4 with regard to any taxable period for which the applicable statute of limitations has not yet expired.

5.12. Subsidiaries. After giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions, (i) Holdings owns 100% of the capital stock of Borrower and has no direct or indirect Subsidiaries other than Borrower and its Subsidiaries and (ii) the Subsidiaries of Borrower, their jurisdictions of incorporation, the number of shares or units of each class of its Capital Stock authorized and the number outstanding and the number of shares or units covered by all outstanding options, warrants, rights of conversion or purchase and similar rights, and their equity holders, in each case, as of the Original Closing Date and the Amendment and Restatement Date shall be as set forth on Schedule 5.12 to the Original Credit Agreement. All Capital Stock of each Subsidiary of Borrower (i) that is a corporation is duly and validly issued and is fully paid and non-assessable and (ii) that is a limited liability company is duly and validly issued without any obligation to make additional capital contributions and in each case, is owned, of record and beneficially, by Borrower, directly or indirectly.

5.13. Ownership of Property; Liens. As of the Original Closing Date and as of the making of any extension of credit hereunder (subject to transfers and dispositions of property permitted under subsection 8.5), each of Holdings and its Subsidiaries has good and valid title (or, in the case of

-63-

licensed Intellectual Property, a valid license) to all of its material assets necessary for the conduct of its business, in each case free and clear of all Liens except Permitted Liens. With respect to each Real Property leased by Holdings and its Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 5.13 to the Original Credit Agreement, as of the Original Closing Date and with respect to each Real Property leased by Holdings and its Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 5.13 hereto as of the Amendment and Restatement Date, each of Holdings or its applicable Subsidiary has valid and enforceable leasehold interests in the leasehold estates in all of the real property leased by it that is used in the operations, or the business, of the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries, which leased real property is listed on Schedule 5.13 to the Original Credit Agreement or hereto, as the case may be, in each case under the heading “Leased Properties” (each, a “Leased Property”), in each case, free and clear of all Liens, except the terms and provisions of the respective lease therefor, including, without limitation, the matters set forth on Schedule 5.13 to the Original Credit Agreement, and any matters affecting the fee title and any estate superior to the leasehold estate related thereto. The Leased Properties constitute, as of the Original Closing Date and the Amendment and Restatement Date, all of the material real property owned in fee or leased by Holdings and its Subsidiaries and used or held for use by Holdings and its Subsidiaries. No Credit Party has received notice of pending condemnation or similar proceedings affecting any of the Real Property and to each Credit Party’s knowledge no such action is currently contemplated or threatened.

5.14. ERISA. (a) No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Pension Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by an amount that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Pension Plans. Each ERISA Entity is in compliance in all material respects with the presently applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan, except to the extent any noncompliance could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Using actuarial assumptions and computation methods consistent with subpart 1 of subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA, the aggregate liabilities of each ERISA Entity to all Multiemployer Plans in the event of a complete withdrawal therefrom, as of the close of the most recent fiscal year of each such Multiemployer Plan, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries maintains or contributes to any benefit plan, program, policy, arrangement or agreement with respect to employees (or former employees) employed outside the United States under which Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries could incur any liability that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.15. Collateral Documents. (a) As of the Original Closing Date, the Security Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a legal, valid and enforceable Lien on and security interest in all rights, title and interest of the Credit Parties in the pledged securities described therein and, when certificates representing or constituting the pledged securities described in the Security Agreement are delivered to the Administrative Agent, such security interest shall constitute a perfected first Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the pledgor party thereto in the pledged securities described therein (to the extent such matter is governed by the law of the United States or a jurisdiction therein). No filings or recordings are required in order to perfect the security interest created in the pledged securities described in the Security

-64-

Agreement and the proceeds thereof other than filings on Form UCC-1 (which filings have been made) and no consent of any Person including any other general or limited partner, any other member of a limited liability company, any other shareholder or any other trust beneficiary is necessary or desirable in connection with the creation, perfection or first priority status of the security interest of the Administrative Agent in any pledged securities or the exercise by the Administrative Agent of the voting or other rights provided for in the Security Agreement or the exercise of remedies in respect thereof.

(b) As of the Original Closing Date, the Security Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a legal, valid and enforceable Lien on and security interest in all right, title and interest of the Credit Parties in the collateral described therein (to the extent such matter is governed by the law of the United States or a jurisdiction therein), and UCC financing statements have been filed in each of the jurisdictions listed on Schedule 5.15(b) to the Original Credit Agreement, or arrangements have been made for such filing in such jurisdictions, and upon such filing or such other filings referenced in subsection 5.15(d), and upon the taking of possession or control by the Administrative Agent of any such collateral the security interests in which may be perfected only by possession or control (to the extent possession or control by the Administrative Agent is required by the Security Agreement), such security interests subject to the existence of Permitted Liens, constitute perfected first priority Liens on, and security interests in, all right, title and interest of the debtor party thereto in the collateral described therein, except to the extent that a security interest cannot be perfected therein by the filing of a financing statement or the taking of possession under the UCC of the relevant jurisdiction (or, if a security interest can be perfected only by possession or control, to the extent possession or control by the Administrative Agent is not required pursuant to the Security Agreement). Each Credit Party has good and marketable title (or, in the case of licensed Intellectual Property, a valid license) to all Collateral pledged by it under the Security Agreement, free and clear of all Liens except those described above in this clause (b) and except for Permitted Liens.

(c) Upon execution and delivery thereof by the relevant Credit Party, any Mortgage will be effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in and Lien on the rights, title and interest of the applicable Credit Party thereto in the collateral described therein, and upon proper recording any Mortgage in the jurisdiction in which the property covered by such Mortgage is located, such security interests and Lien will, subject to the existence of Permitted Encumbrances, constitute first priority liens on, and perfected security interests in, all rights, title and interest of the debtor party thereto in the collateral described therein.

(d) The recordation of the Security Agreement (or a short form thereof) in United States patents and trademarks in the United States Patent and Trademark Office together with filings on Form UCC-1 made pursuant to the Security Agreement are effective, under applicable law, to perfect the security interest, as collateral security for the payment and performance of the Loans and the other Obligations, granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in the registered trademarks and patents covered by such Security Agreement in United States patents and trademarks and the recordation of the Security Agreement in United States copyrights with the United States Copyright Office together with filings on Form UCC-1 made pursuant to the Security Agreement are effective under federal law to perfect the security interest, as collateral security for the payment and performance of the Loans and the other Obligations, granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in the registered copyrights covered by such Security Agreement in United States copyrights.

-65-

5.16. Copyrights, Patents, Permits, Trademarks and Licenses. Schedules 13(a), (b), (c) and (d) of the perfection certificate delivered pursuant to subsection 6.1(n) of the Original Credit Agreement set forth a true and complete list as of the Original Closing Date after giving effect to the Transactions of all registered Intellectual Property owned by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, and, with respect to registered trademarks (if any), contains a list of all jurisdictions in which such trademarks are registered or applied for and all registration and application numbers. Except as disclosed in Schedules 13(a), (b), (c) and (d) of the perfection certificate delivered pursuant to subsection 6.1(n) of the Original Credit Agreement, as of the Original Closing Date after giving effect to the Transactions, Holdings or one of its Subsidiaries will own or have the right to use the Intellectual Property and applications therefor referred to in such schedule. Except as disclosed in Schedule 13(a), (b), (c) and (d) of the perfection certificate delivered pursuant to subsection 6.1(n) of the Original Credit Agreement, no claims are pending by any Person with respect to the ownership, validity, enforceability or of Holdings’ or any of its Subsidiaries’ use of such Intellectual Property or applications therefor, challenging or questioning the validity or effectiveness of any of the foregoing, in any jurisdiction, domestic or foreign, except to the extent such claims, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.17. Environmental Matters. Except insofar as any exceptions to the following, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect:

(a) the properties owned, leased or otherwise operated by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries do not contain, and have not previously contained, therein, thereon or thereunder, including, without limitation, the soil and groundwater thereunder, any Hazardous Materials in amounts or concentrations that constitute a violation of, or could reasonably be expected to give rise to liability under, Environmental Laws;

(b) There are no facts, circumstances or conditions that could reasonably be expected to (i) result in a violation of any Environmental Law by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries that could interfere with the continued operation of, or impair the otherwise fair saleable value of the properties owned, leased or otherwise operated by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) result in a violation of or otherwise give rise to liability on the part of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries under any Environmental Laws in respect of Hazardous Materials;

-66-

(e) no Lien has been recorded or, to the knowledge of any Credit Party, threatened under any Environmental Law with respect to any Fee Property or assets of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries and no Lien has been recorded or, to the knowledge of any Credit Party, threatened under any Environmental Law with respect to any other Real Property of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to result in liability or costs on the part of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries under any Environmental Law;

(f) no Fee Property is (x) listed, or to the knowledge of any Credit Party proposed for listing, on the National Priorities List promulgated pursuant to the United States Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (“CERCLA”), or (y) listed on the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Information System List promulgated pursuant to CERCLA, or (z) included on any similar list maintained by any Governmental Authority and there is no such listing, or to the knowledge of any Credit Party proposed listing, with respect to any other Real Property of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to result in liability or costs on the part of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries under any Environmental Law; and

All factual information heretofore or contemporaneously furnished by or on behalf of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries to the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any Lender in writing (including all information contained in the Credit Documents, the Confidential Information Memorandum dated May 2004 delivered to the Lenders under the Original Credit Agreement in connection with the syndication of the facilities under the Original Credit Agreement and the Confidential Information Memorandum dated October 2006 delivered to Lenders under this Agreement in connection with the syndication of the Tranche B-1 Facility (the “Confidential Information Memoranda”)) for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated herein is, and all other factual information furnished by or on behalf of any such Persons in writing to the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any Lender after the Original Closing Date will be, true and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such information is dated and, taken together, not incomplete by omitting to state any material fact necessary to make such information not misleading at such time in light of the circumstances under which such information was provided; provided that, with respect to projections Borrower represents only that the projections contained in such materials are based on good faith estimates and assumptions believed by Borrower to be reasonable and attainable at the time made. There is no fact known to any Credit Party that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or that would be material to an understanding of the financial condition, business, properties or prospects of any Credit Party that has not been expressly disclosed herein, in the other Credit Documents, in the Confidential Information Memoranda or in any other documents, certificates and statements furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Credit Documents. The Credit Parties understand that all such statements, representations and warranties shall be deemed to have been relied upon by the Lenders as a material inducement to make each extension of credit hereunder.

-67-

5.19. Labor Matters. Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged in any unfair labor practice. There is (i) no unfair labor practice complaint pending against Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or, to the knowledge of any Credit Party, threatened against Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, before the National Labor Relations Board or any other Governmental Authority, and no grievance or arbitration proceeding arising out of or under any collective bargaining agreement is so pending against Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or, to the knowledge of any Credit Party after due inquiry, threatened against Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) no strike, labor dispute, slowdown or stoppage pending against Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or, to the knowledge of any Credit Party, after due inquiry, threatened against Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries and (iii) to the best knowledge of any Credit Party after due inquiry, no union representation question existing with respect to the employees of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries and, to the knowledge of any Credit Party, no union organizing activities are taking place, except such as could not, with respect to any matter specified in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

No Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with the Credit Documents (except for its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Credit Party or any officer thereof contained in the Credit Documents or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, the Credit Documents or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of the Credit Documents or for any failure of any Credit Party to perform its obligations thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, any Credit Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Credit Party.

10.4. Reliance by Agents. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Note, entries maintained in the Register, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Credit Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, where a higher percentage of the Lenders is expressly required hereunder, such Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under any Credit Document in accordance with a request of the Required

-100-

Lenders (unless a higher percentage of Lenders is expressly required), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Notes.

10.5. Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless such Agent has received written notice from an Agent, a Lender or Borrower or any other Credit Party referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

10.6. Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that no Agent nor any officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates thereof has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent taken after the Original Closing Date, including any review of the affairs of the Credit Parties, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and its Subsidiaries and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and its Subsidiaries. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Credit Parties which may come into the possession of such Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

10.7. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agents in their capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Credit Parties and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), ratably according to the respective amounts of their respective Commitments (or, to the extent such Commitments have been terminated, according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans and the L/C Obligations and the respective obligations, whether as Issuing Lender or a Participating Lender, under the Letter of Credit), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Lender which may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Commitments, the Credit Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations,

-101-

losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements resulting solely from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this subsection 10.7 shall survive the repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

10.8. Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Credit Party as though such Agent were not an Agent hereunder. With respect to Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers, duties and liabilities under the Credit Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include such Agent in its individual capacity.

10.9. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders which successor agent shall, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, be approved by Borrower, which shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Notes. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the applicable Administrative Agent by the date which is 30 days following the retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of registration, the retiring Administrative Agent’s registration shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of such Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 10 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents.

10.10. Issuing Lender as Issuer of Letters of Credit. Each Revolving Credit Lender hereby acknowledges that the provisions of this Section 10 shall apply to the Issuing Lender, in its capacity as issuer of the Letters of Credit, in the same manner as such provisions are expressly stated to apply to the Administrative Agent, except that obligations to indemnify the Issuing Lender shall be ratable among the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments (or, if the Revolving Credit Commitments and Incremental Revolving Commitments have been terminated, the outstanding principal amount of their respective Revolving Credit Loans and L/C Obligations and their respective participating interests in the outstanding Letters of Credit).

10.11. Other Agents. Each Lender hereby acknowledges that none of the Syndication Agent, the Arrangers or any other Lender designated as “Agent” under the Original Credit Agreement, hereunder, herein or under any Credit Document has any liability hereunder other than its capacity as a Lender. Each party hereto agrees that each Agent not a signatory hereto shall be a third party beneficiary of the rights herein set forth applicable to such Agent.

SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS

11.1. Amendments and Waivers. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, no Credit Document nor any terms thereof may be amended, supplemented, waived or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this subsection 11.1. With the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent (acting at the request of the Required Lenders) and the applicable Credit Parties or their Subsidiaries may, from time to time, enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to any Credit Document to which they are parties or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of any such Credit Party or its Subsidiaries thereunder or waiving, on such terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of any such Credit Document or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided that:

(a) no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release any Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee in any such case without the written consent of all Lenders; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph (a) shall not be applicable to and no consent shall be required for (x) releases of Collateral in connection with any dispositions permitted by subsection 8.5, or (y) release of any Guarantor in connection with the sale or other disposition of a Guarantor (or all or substantially all of its assets) permitted by the Agreement;

(b) no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall reduce the amount of or extend the date of any scheduled amortization payment of any Term Loan or forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or Note (it being understood that subsection 4.5 does not provide for a final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan or Note), or extend the stated expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Credit Termination Date as then in effect, or reduce the stated rate of any interest, fee or letter of credit commission payable hereunder (except in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interests, fees or letter of credit commission, and it being further understood and agreed that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest, fees or letter of credit commission for the purposes of this clause (b)) or extend the scheduled date of any payment of any interest, fee or commitment commission, or increase the amount of the Commitments except as a result of an Incremental Term Loan pursuant to this Agreement (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of mandatory reductions in the Commitments shall not constitute an increase in the Commitments of any Lender), or modify subsection 4.12, subsection 11.7(a) or subsection 12.3 in each case without the written consent of each Lender whose obligations, Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments, as the case may be, held hereunder are being directly modified thereby and all of the Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility may extend the Revolving Credit Termination Date (it being understood that the consent of no other Lender or Agent need be obtained);

(c) no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall amend, modify or waive any provision of this subsection 11.1 (except for technical amendments with respect to additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement which afford the protections to such additional extensions of credit of the type provided to the Loans and the Commitments

-103-

on the Original Closing Date) or reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders (it being understood that, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement may be included in the determination of the Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the extensions of Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments are included in the Original Closing Date), or consent to the assignment or transfer by Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, in each case without the written consent of all Lenders;

(d) no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall change the allocation of payments between the Term Loan Facilities pursuant to subsection 4.7 without the written consent of the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of each Term Loan Facility adversely affected thereby (it being understood and agreed that, with the consent of the Required Lenders, additional extensions of term loans may be included for purposes of allocation of payments pursuant to subsection 4.7 on substantially the same basis as the Tranche B-1 Term Loans (as agreed by Borrower and the Required Lenders) are treated on the Amendment and Restatement Date);

(e) no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Majority Facility Lenders with respect to any Facility without the written consent of all Lenders under such Facility;

(f) no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification affecting the then Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender shall amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 10 without the written consent of such Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender, as the case may be;

(g) without the consent of any other Agent or of any Lender, the Credit Parties and the Administrative Agent may (in their respective sole discretion, or shall, to the extent required by any Credit Document) enter into any amendment, modification or waiver of any Credit Document, or enter into any new agreement or instrument, to effect the granting, perfection, protection, expansion or enhancement of any security interest in any Collateral or additional Property to become Collateral for the benefit of the Secured Parties, or as required by local law to give effect to, or protect any security interest for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in any Property or so that the security interests therein comply with applicable law;

(h) with respect to any Incremental Facility, the related Incremental Loan Amendment, and any waiver, consent or other amendment to any term or provision of this Agreement necessary or advisable to effectuate any Incremental Facility or any provision thereof in accordance with the terms of, or the intent of, this Agreement, shall be effective when executed by Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Incremental Term Lender making the related Incremental Term Commitment or Incremental Revolving Lender making the related Incremental Revolving Commitment, as the case may be; and

(i) no such amendment, modification, supplement or waiver of any condition precedent in subsection 6.2 to any Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit without the written consent of the Majority Facility Lenders with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility;

-104-

provided, further, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification described in this subsection 11.1 shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon each Credit Party and its Subsidiaries, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender and all future holders of the Notes and the Loans. Any extension of a Letter of Credit by the Issuing Lender shall be treated hereunder as a new Letter of Credit. In the case of any waiver, the Credit Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and Issuing Lender shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the outstanding Notes, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the written concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all affected Lenders, the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in this subsection 11.1 being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as the Lender acting as the Administrative Agent has agreed in writing, at Borrower’s request, the Administrative Agent or an Eligible Assignee reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent shall have the right, subject to compliance with subsection 11.6, to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lender, and such Non-Consenting Lender agrees that it shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, sell and assign to the Lender acting as the Administrative Agent or such Eligible Assignee, all of the Commitments and Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of all Loans held by the Non-Consenting Lender and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment and Acceptance.

11.2. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Administrative Agent under Sections 2, 3 or 4 shall be made, initially by telephone to Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (as the Administrative Agent’s sub-agent) or such other Person as the Administrative Agent may designate, followed by telex or facsimile to both Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas and the Administrative Agent.

11.3. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

11.4. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Letters of Credit and the Notes and the making of the extensions of credit hereunder.

11.5. Payment of Expenses and Taxes; Indemnification. (a) Borrower agrees to pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each of the Agents and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Agents in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Credit Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated or any such amendment, modification or waiver becomes effective), (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Lenders in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agents, the Issuing Lender or any Lender, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Agents, the Issuing Lender or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights

-107-

in connection with the Credit Documents, including their rights under this subsection 11.5, or in connection with the Loans made, or Letters of Credit issued or drawn hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

(b) The Credit Parties agree to indemnify the Agents, the Issuing Lender and each Lender, and each of their Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, trustees, advisors and controlled parties 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 reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel (and environmental consultants or professionals) for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Credit Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties to the Credit Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by an Issuing Lenders 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 Hazardous Materials on, at, under or from any Mortgaged Property or any other property currently or formerly owned, leased or otherwise operated by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any liability under Environmental Laws related in any way to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (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 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 are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence, breach of this Agreement or other Credit Documents or willful misconduct of such Indemnitees or (v) any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other similar taxes (other than withholding taxes), if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, any Credit Document and any such other documents.

(c) To the extent that a Credit Party fails to pay any amount required to be paid by them to an Agent or an Issuing Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this subsection 11.5, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent or each Revolving Credit Lender agrees to pay such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such Lender’s or Revolving Credit Lender’s, as the case may be, pro rata share (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 such Agent or such Issuing Lender in its capacity as such. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s or Revolving Credit Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the aggregate amount of the total Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Credit Loans and Revolving Credit Commitments, as the case may be, at the time.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Credit Party shall assert, and each Credit Party hereby waives, 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 Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan, Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

-108-

(e) All amounts due under this subsection 11.5 shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

(f) The Credit Parties shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and each Issuer for, and hold the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and each Issuing Lender harmless from and against, any and all claims for brokerage commissions, fees and other compensation made against the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders for any broker, finder or consultant with respect to any agreement, arrangement or understanding made by or on behalf of Borrower or any of Borrower’s Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(g) The Credit Parties agree that any indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this subsection 11.5) or any other Credit Document shall (i) survive payment in full of the Obligations, (ii) survive the release of all or any portion of the Collateral and (iii) inure to the benefit of any Person that was at any time an Indemnitee under this Agreement or any other Credit Document.

11.6. Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Credit Parties, the Lenders, each Agent, all future holders of the Notes and the Loans, and their respective successors and assigns, except that Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Lender.

(b) Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking, lending or investment business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other entities (“Participants”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any participating interest in the Letters of Credit of such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes under this Agreement and Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Notes are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and any Note to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement or any Note; provided that such right of setoff shall be subject to the obligation of such Participant to share with the Lenders, and the Lenders agree to share with such Participant, as provided in subsection 11.7. Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of subsections 3.10, 4.14 and 4.15 with respect to its participation in the Letters of Credit and in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time as if it were a Lender; provided that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such subsection than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer

-109-

occurred, except in the case of subsection 4.14, where the entitlement to greater payments results from a Change in Law after such Participant became a Participant. Each Lender agrees that the participation agreement pursuant to which any Participant acquires its participating interest (or any other document) may afford voting rights to such Participant, or any right to instruct such Lender with respect to voting hereunder, only with respect to matters requiring the consent of either all of the Lenders hereunder or all of the Lenders holding the relevant Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments and/or Incremental Revolving Commitments subject to such participation.

(c) Subject to paragraph (g) of this subsection 11.6, any Lender may at any time and from time to time, in the ordinary course of its commercial banking, lending or investment business and in accordance with applicable law,

(i) assign all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement relating to the Term Loans and the Term Notes to any Lender or any Affiliate or Approved Fund of any Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance executed by such Assignee and such assigning Lender, and delivered to the Administrative Agent (for its acceptance and recording in the Register (as defined below));

(ii) assign, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement relating to the Revolving Credit Loans, the Revolving Credit Commitment and/or any Incremental Revolving Commitments and the Revolving Credit Notes to any Lender or any Affiliate thereof pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance executed by such Assignee and such assigning Lender and the Administrative Agent, and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; and

(iii) assign to one or more Eligible Assignees, all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance executed by such Assignee and such assigning Lender (and, in the case of an Eligible Assignee that is not then a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender, by Borrower (to the extent such assignment is not in connection with assignments by the Arrangers or any of their respective Affiliates in connection with the syndication of the Tranche B-1 Term Loans that have not been converted from Tranche B Loans under the Original Credit Agreement within the first 30 Business Days after the Amendment and Restatement Date and so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) and the Administrative Agent), and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register.

Each sale pursuant to clause (iii) of this subsection 11.6(c) shall be in a principal amount of at least $1,000,000 (treating multiple, contemporaneous assignments by or to Approved Funds or Affiliates of a single Lender as a single assignment for such purpose) (or such lesser amounts as the Administrative Agent and Borrower may determine) unless the assigning Lender is transferring all of its rights and obligations; provided that assignments in connection with the syndication of the Tranche B-1 Term Loans that have not been converted from Tranche B Loans under the Original Credit Agreement within the first 30 days after the Amendment and Restatement Date may be less than $1,000,000 without any further consent or approval by the Borrower. In the event of a sale of less than all of such rights and obligations, such Lender after any such sale shall retain Commitments and/or Loans and/or L/C Participating Interests aggregating at least $1,000,000 (or in such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent and Borrower may

-110-

determine). Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with a Commitment as set forth therein, and (y) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest transferred, as reflected in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of a transferor Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such transferor Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of the indemnification provisions set forth in subsection 11.5). For the purposes of this paragraph and for the avoidance of doubt the contemporaneous sale of any obligations under this Agreement and the Notes to an Eligible Assignee and one or more of its Approved Funds shall constitute a single sale and the principal amount thereof shall be aggregated.

(d) The Administrative Agent, which for purposes of this subsection 11.6(d) only shall be deemed to be the agent of Borrower, shall maintain at the address of the Administrative Agent referred to in subsection 11.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error, and Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Loan or other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any assignment of any Loan or other obligation hereunder shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower or the Arrangers at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee (and by Borrower and the Administrative Agent to the extent required by paragraph (c) of this subsection 11.6), together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (the “Assignment Fee”) if the Assignee is not a Lender, Approved Fund or Affiliate of such Lender prior to the execution of such Assignment and Acceptance and $1,000 otherwise (in each case treating multiple, contemporaneous assignments by or to Approved Funds or Affiliates of a single Lender as a single assignment for such purpose), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Lenders and Borrower (and no such assignment shall become effective unless and until so recorded); provided that, in the case of contemporaneous assignments by a Lender to more than one fund managed by the same investment advisor or an Affiliate of such investment advisor (which funds are not then Lenders hereunder), only a single Assignment Fee shall be payable for all such contemporaneous assignments; provided further that if the parties to such assignment electronically execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance via an electronic settlement system designated by the Administrative Agent (which shall initially be Clearpar, LLC) the Assignment Fee shall be $500. On or prior to such effective date, Borrower at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (in exchange for any or all of the Term Notes or Revolving Credit Notes of the assigning Lender, if any (or if any Note is lost, an affidavit of such loss and indemnity satisfactory to Borrower)) new Term Notes or Revolving Credit Notes, as the case may be, to the order of such Assignee (if requested) in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Incremental Revolving Commitment or the

-111-

Term Loans, as the case may be, assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Lender has retained a Commitment or any Term Loans hereunder, new Term Notes or Revolving Credit Notes, as the case may be, to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment or such Term Loans, as the case may be, retained by it hereunder (if requested). Such new Notes shall be dated the Original Closing Date in respect of Revolving Credit Notes and the Amendment and Restatement Date in respect of Tranche B-1 Term Notes and shall otherwise be in the form of the Notes replaced thereby.

(f) Each Agent and the Lenders agree that they will use reasonable efforts to protect the confidentiality of any confidential information concerning Holdings, Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates. Each Credit Party authorizes each Lender to disclose (i) to its employees, officers, Affiliates and advisors, who shall be bound by the confidentiality provisions hereof, (ii) to any regulatory authority as required by law or to any quasi-regulatory authority (including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (iii) in connection with any enforcement or other legal action, (iv) to any Participant or Assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender’s possession concerning Holdings and its Subsidiaries which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of any Credit Party pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of any Credit Party in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of Holdings and its Subsidiaries prior to becoming a party to this Agreement; provided that each Lender shall cause its respective prospective and actual Transferees to agree in writing to protect the confidentiality of any confidential information concerning each Credit Party and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates, (v) as has become generally available to the public, (vi) as may be required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state or federal regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such party or to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors, and (vii) as may be required or appropriate in response to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation or regulatory proceeding; provided, however, that each Credit Party acknowledges that the Administrative Agent has disclosed and may continue to disclose such information as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion determines is appropriate to the Lenders from time to time.

(g) If, pursuant to this subsection 11.6, any interest in this Agreement or any Note is transferred to any Transferee which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the terms of this Agreement including without limitation subsection 4.14(d).

(h) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this subsection 11.6 concerning assignments of Loans and Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (the “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and Borrower, the option to

-112-

provide to Borrower all or any part of any Loan that the Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan, (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of an Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection 11.6(i), any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to in writing by Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis, subject to and in accordance with subsection 11.6(f), any information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV. This section may not be amended without the written consent of any adversely affected SPV.

11.7. Adjustments; Set-off. (a) If any relevant Lender (a “benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of any of its Loans or L/C Participating Interests, as the case may be, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in subsection 9(f), or otherwise) in a greater proportion than any such payment to and collateral received by any other relevant Lender (other than in accordance with any provision hereof expressly providing for payments to be made only to an individual Lender or to the Lenders of a particular Facility), if any, in respect of such other relevant Lender’s Loans or L/C Participating Interests, as the case may be, or interest thereon, such benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other relevant Lenders such portion of each such other relevant Lender’s Loans or L/C Participating Interests, as the case may be, or shall provide such other relevant Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the relevant Lenders; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Each Credit Party agrees that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Loans and/or L/C Participating Interests may exercise all rights of payment (including, without limitation, rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give Borrower notice of any set-off; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to any Credit Party, any such notice being expressly waived by each Credit Party to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence of any Event

-113-

of Default to set off and apply against any indebtedness, whether matured or unmatured, of any Credit Facility to such Lender, any amount owing from such Lender to any Credit Party, at or at any time after, the happening of any of the above mentioned events. As security for such indebtedness, any Credit Party hereby grants to each Lender a continuing security interest in any and all deposits, accounts or moneys of any Credit Party then or thereafter maintained with such Lender, subject in each case to subsection 11.7(a) of this Agreement. The aforesaid right of set-off may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be exercised by such Lender against any Credit Party or against any trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of any Credit Party, or against anyone else claiming through or against any Credit Party or such trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor, notwithstanding the fact that such right of set-off shall not have been exercised by such Lender prior to the making, filing or issuance, or service upon such Lender of, or of notice of, any such petition; assignment for the benefit of creditors; appointment or application for the appointment of a receiver; or issuance of execution, subpoena, order or warrant. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

11.8. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with Borrower and the Administrative Agent. This Agreement shall become effective with respect to Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders when the Administrative Agent shall have received copies of this Agreement executed by Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or, in the case of any Lender, shall have received telephonic confirmation from such Lender stating that such Lender has executed counterparts of this Agreement or the signature pages hereto and sent the same to the Administrative Agent. Delivery of a signed counterpart by facsimile or Adobe “pdf” file shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart.

11.9. Governing Law; Third Party Rights. This Agreement and the Notes and the rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the State of New York. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, and, except as set forth in subsection 11.9, no other Persons shall have any right, benefit, priority or interest under, or because of the existence of, this Agreement. The designation of any Agent by the Administrative Agent in connection with the syndication hereof shall entitle such Agents to certain rights as third-party beneficiaries as provided herein, without any further act by any party hereto.

11.10. Submission to Jurisdiction; Waivers. (a) Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(i) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

-114-

(ii) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts, and waives any objection that it may on the Original Closing Date or thereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

(iii) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such party at its address set forth in subsection 11.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto; and

(iv) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to ▇▇▇ in any other jurisdiction.

(b) Each party hereto unconditionally waives trial by jury in any legal action or proceeding referred to in paragraph (a) above and any counterclaim therein.

11.11. Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. None of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Borrower or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that Borrower makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Issuing Lender or any such Person receives payment from the proceeds of the Collateral or exercises its rights of set-off, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, right and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or set-off had not occurred.

11.12. Interest. Each provision in this Agreement and each other Credit Document is expressly limited so that in no event whatsoever shall the amount paid, or otherwise agreed to be paid, by Borrower for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to be loaned under this Agreement or any other Credit Document or otherwise (including any sums paid as required by any covenant or obligation contained herein or in any other Credit Document which is for the use, forbearance or detention of such money), exceed that amount of money which would cause the effective rate of interest to exceed the highest lawful rate permitted by applicable law (the “Highest Lawful Rate”), and all amounts owed under this Agreement and each other Credit Document shall be held to be subject to reduction to the effect that such amounts so paid or agreed to be paid which are for the use, forbearance or detention of money under this Agreement or such other Credit Document shall in no event exceed that amount of money which would cause the effective rate of interest to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any other Credit Document to the contrary, if the maturity of the Loans or the obligations in respect of the other Credit Documents are accelerated for any reason, or in the event of any prepayment of all or any portion of the Loans or the obligations in respect of the other Credit Documents by Borrower or in any other event, earned interest on the Loans and such other obligations of Borrower may never exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, and any unearned interest otherwise payable on the Loans or the obligations in respect of the other Credit Documents that is in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment or other such event and (if theretofore paid) shall, at the option of the holder of the Loans or such other obligations, be either refunded to Borrower or credited on the principal of the Loans. In determining whether or not the interest paid or

-115-

payable, under any specific contingency, exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, Borrower and the Lenders shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, amortize, prorate, allocate and spread, in equal parts during the period of the actual term of this Agreement, all interest at any time contracted for, charged, received or reserved in connection with this Agreement.

11.13. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

11.14. Integration. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents (and those provisions of the commitment letter dated April 14, 2004 among Holdings and the Agents that expressly by its terms survive the execution and delivery of the Original Credit Agreement) represent the entire agreement of the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Credit Documents.

11.15. Acknowledgments. Each Credit Party hereby acknowledges that:

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents;

(b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Credit Party arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, and the relationship between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on one hand, and each Credit Party, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Credit Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among any Credit Party and the Lenders.

11.16. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Credit Parties, which information includes the name, address and tax identification number of the Credit Parties and other information regarding the Credit Parties that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Credit Parties in accordance with the Act. This notice is given in accordance with the requirements of the Act and is effective as to the Lender and the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 12. COLLATERAL ACCOUNT; APPLICATION OF COLLATERAL PROCEEDS

12.1. Collateral Account. (a) The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to establish and maintain at its office, in the name of the Administrative Agent and pursuant to a Control Agreement, a restricted deposit account designated “Language Line, Inc. — Collateral Account” with respect to which the Administrative Agent shall at all times have “control” (as defined in Section 9-104 of the UCC). Each Credit Party shall (subject to the limitations set forth in the definition of Net Proceeds and subsection 8.5) deposit into the Collateral Account from time to time (A) the cash proceeds of any of the Collateral (including pursuant to any disposition thereof) to the extent contemplated herein or in any other Credit Document, (B) the cash proceeds of any Taking or Destruction with respect to Collateral, (C) any cash in respect of any Collateral to which the Administrative Agent is entitled pursuant to the Credit Documents, and (D) any cash such Credit Party is required to pledge as additional collateral security hereunder pursuant to the Credit Documents.

(b) The balance from time to time in the Collateral Account shall constitute part of the Collateral and shall not constitute payment of the Obligations until applied as hereinafter provided. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or will result therefrom, the Administrative Agent shall within one Business Day of receiving a request of the applicable Credit Party for release of cash proceeds constituting (A) net insurance proceeds or net awards from the Collateral Account remit such cash proceeds on deposit in the Collateral Account to or upon the order of such Credit Party, so long as such Credit Party has satisfied the conditions relating thereto set forth in subsection 12.2, (B) net cash proceeds from any sale or other disposition of Collateral from the Collateral Account, remit such cash proceeds on deposit in the Collateral Account, so long as such Credit Party has satisfied the conditions relating thereto set forth in subsection 12.2 and (C) with respect to the L/C Sub-Account at such time as all Letters of Credit shall have been terminated and all of the liabilities in respect of the Letters of Credit have been paid in full. At any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may (and, if instructed by the Lenders as specified herein, shall) in its (or their) discretion apply and provide notice to Borrower of such application or cause to be applied (subject to collection) the balance from time to time outstanding to the credit of the Collateral Account to the payment of the Obligations in the manner specified in subsection 12.3 hereof subject, however, in the case of amounts deposited in the L/C Sub-Account, to the provisions of subsection 12.1(d). The Credit Parties shall have no right to withdraw, transfer or otherwise receive any fund deposited in the Collateral Account except to the extent specifically provided herein.

(c) Amounts on deposit in the Collateral Account shall be invested from time to time in Cash Equivalents as the applicable Credit Party (or, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent) shall determine, which Cash Equivalents shall be held in the name and be under the control of the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent); provided that at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may (and, if instructed by the Lenders as specified herein, shall) in its (or their) discretion at any time and from time to time elect to liquidate any such Cash Equivalents and to apply or cause to be applied the proceeds thereof to the payment of the Obligations in the manner specified in subsection 12.3 hereof.

(d) Amounts deposited into the Collateral Account as cover for liabilities in respect of Letters of Credit under any provision of this Agreement requiring such cover shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a separate sub-account designated as the “L/C Sub-Account” (the “L/C Sub-Account”)

-117-

and, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, all amounts held in the L/C Sub-Account shall constitute collateral security first for the liabilities in respect of Letters of Credit outstanding from time to time and second as collateral security for the other Obligations hereunder until such time as all Letters of Credit shall have been terminated and all of the liabilities in respect of Letters of Credit have been paid in full.

12.2. Proceeds of Destruction, Taking and Collateral Dispositions. (a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in the event there shall be any net award in respect of any Taking or net insurance proceeds in respect of any Destruction or net cash proceeds from any sale or disposition of Collateral of the type contemplated in subsection 8.5(g), the applicable Credit Party shall have the right, at such Credit Party’s option, to apply such net award or net insurance proceeds within 180 days from the date of the applicable Destruction or Taking (or, in the case of such disposition, to apply such net cash proceeds within twelve months from the date of such disposition) to reinvest in properties or assets owned (or to be owned) by Borrower or its Subsidiaries having a fair market value at least equal to the amount of such net insurance proceeds or net awards or net cash proceeds, as the case may be, in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement or to repair, replace or restore any property in respect of which such Net Proceeds were paid, no later than 180 days following the date of receipt of such proceeds; provided that if the property subject to such Destruction or Taking constituted Collateral under the Security Documents, then all property purchased with the Net Proceeds thereof pursuant to this subsection shall be made subject to the Lien of the applicable Security Documents in favor of the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and for the benefit of the other Secured Parties in accordance with subsections 7.9 and 7.12. In the event such Credit Party elects so to reinvest such net insurance proceeds or net awards or net cash proceeds, as the case may be, such Credit Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (A) a written notice of such election and (B) an Officers’ Certificate stating that (1) the net insurance proceeds or net awards, as the case may be, shall be utilized so to reinvest in Collateral in the manner contemplated by the proviso set forth in clause (b) of the definition of Net Proceeds, or the net cash proceeds shall be utilized so to reinvest in Collateral in the manner contemplated by the proviso set forth in subsection 8.5(g), as the case may be, and (2) no Event of Default (or in the case of any net award in respect of any Taking or net insurance proceeds in respect of any Destruction, no Event of Default under subsections 9(a), (e), (f), (g) or (h)) has occurred and is continuing (the items described in clauses (1) and (2) of this sentence, collectively, the “Investment Election Notice”). In the event such net awards, net insurance proceeds or net cash proceeds, as the case may be, shall be in an amount less than $5,000,000, upon receipt of an Investment Election Notice, the Administrative Agent shall release such net insurance proceeds or net awards or net cash proceeds to such Credit Party in accordance with the provisions of subsection 12.1(b) hereof.

(b) In the event there shall be any net awards or net insurance proceeds or net cash proceeds, as the case may be, in an amount equal to or greater than $5,000,000, the Administrative Agent shall not release any part of such net awards or net insurance proceeds or net cash proceeds, as the case may be, until the applicable Credit Party has furnished to the Administrative Agent (i) an Officers’ Certificate setting forth: (1) a brief description of the reinvestment to be made, (2) the dollar amount of the expenditures to be made, or costs incurred by such Credit Party in connection with such reinvestment and (3) each request for payment shall be made on at least one (1) Business Day’s prior notice to the Administrative Agent and such request shall state that the properties or assets acquired in connection with such reinvestment have a fair market value at least equal to the amount of such net awards or net insurance proceeds or net cash proceeds, as the case may be, requested to be released from the Collateral Account and (ii) all security agreements and Mortgages and other items required by the provisions of subsection 7.9 to, among other things, subject such reinvestment properties or assets to the Lien of the Security Documents in favor of the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and for the benefit of the other Secured Parties.

-118-

12.3. Application of Proceeds. The proceeds received by the Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral pursuant to the exercise by the Administrative Agent of its remedies shall be applied, together with any other sums then held by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement, promptly by the Administrative Agent as follows:

FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses, fees, commissions and taxes of such sale, collection or other realization including, without limitation, compensation to the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith, together with interest on each such amount at the highest rate then in effect under this Agreement from and after the date such amount is due, owing or unpaid until paid in full;

SECOND, to the payment of all other reasonable costs and expenses of such sale, collection or other realization including, without limitation, compensation to the other Secured Parties and their agents and counsel and all costs, liabilities and advances made or incurred by the other Secured Parties in connection therewith, together with interest on each such amount at the highest rate then in effect under this Agreement from and after the date such amount is due, owing or unpaid until paid in full;

THIRD, without duplication of amounts applied pursuant to clauses FIRST and SECOND above, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash, pro rata, of (i) interest, principal and other amounts constituting Obligations (other than the obligations arising under the Interest Rate Agreements) in each case equally and ratably in accordance with the respective amounts thereof then due and owing and (ii) the obligations arising under the Interest Rate Agreements in accordance with the terms of the Interest Rate Agreements; and

FOURTH, the balance, if any, to the Person lawfully entitled thereto (including the applicable Credit Party or its successors or assigns).

In the event that any such proceeds are insufficient to pay in full the items described in clauses FIRST through THIRD of this subsection 12.3, the Credit Parties shall remain liable for any deficiency.
