The Credits

SECTION 2. Amount and Terms of Credit Facility.

2.01A Loan Conversion and Commitments. On the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (a) all loans outstanding on such date under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be converted from revolving loans to term loans (the “Converting Loans”) and (b) each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make an additional loan to the Borrower (the “New Loans” and, together with the Converting Loans, the “Loans”) in a principal amount so that (i) the principal amount of such Lender’s Loans equal such Lender’s Commitment and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all Loans equals the Total Commitment. Amounts paid or prepaid in respect of the Loans may not be reborrowed. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on and after the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, the Loans shall no longer be revolving and any and all terms in connection with and with respect to revolving loans contained herein shall be of no further force and effect.

2.01 [Intentionally Omitted].

2.02 [Intentionally Omitted].

2.03 [Intentionally Omitted].

2.04 Disbursement of Funds. On the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, each Lender will make available and fund its pro rata portion of the New Loans in immediately available funds as specified in the Funds Flow Memo.

2.05 Notes. (a) The Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced in the Register maintained by the

-20-

Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 14.15 and shall, if requested by such Lender as provided below, also be evidenced by a promissory note duly executed and delivered by the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit B, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each a “Note” and, collectively, the “Notes”).

(b) Each Note shall (i) be executed by the Borrower, (ii) be payable to the Lender or its registered assigns and be dated the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date (or, in the case of Notes issued after the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, be dated the date of the issuance thereof), (iii) be in a stated principal amount equal to the outstanding Loans of such Lender at such time and be payable in the principal amount of the Loans evidenced thereby, (iv) mature on the Maturity Date, (v) bear interest as provided in Section 2.08, (vi) be subject to voluntary prepayment and mandatory repayment as provided in Sections 5.01 and 5.02 and (vii) be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

(c) Each Lender will note on its internal records the amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof and will, prior to any transfer of any of its Notes, endorse on the reverse side thereof the outstanding principal amount of Loans evidenced thereby. Failure to make any such notation or any error in any such notation or endorsement shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above in this Section 2.05 or elsewhere in this Agreement, Notes shall only be delivered to Lenders which at any time specifically request the delivery of such Notes. No failure of any Lender to request or obtain a Note evidencing its Loans to the Borrower shall affect or in any manner impair the obligations of the Borrower to pay the Loans (and all related Obligations) incurred by the Borrower which would otherwise be evidenced thereby in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, and shall not in any way affect the security or guaranties therefor provided pursuant to the various Credit Documents. Any Lender which does not have a Note evidencing its outstanding Loans shall in no event be required to make the notations otherwise described in preceding clause (c). At any time when any Lender requests the delivery of a Note to evidence any of its Loans, the Borrower shall (at its expense) promptly execute and deliver to the respective Lender the requested Note in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Loans.

2.06 [Intentionally Omitted].

2.07 Pro Rata Borrowings. All Borrowings of Loans under this Agreement shall be incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their Commitments. It is understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender of its obligation to make Loans hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Loans hereunder.

2.08 Interest. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin as in effect from

-21-

time to time during such Interest Period plus the greater of (i) the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period and (ii) 2.50%.

(b) Overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of each Loan and any other overdue amount payable hereunder shall, in each case, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 2% per annum in excess of the rate then borne by such Loans (or, if such overdue amount is not interest or principal in respect of the Loans, 2% per annum in excess of the rates then applicable to Loans at such time). Interest that accrues under this Section 2.08(b) shall be payable on demand.

(c) Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest in respect of Loans shall be payable in arrears on each Monthly Payment Date, on any repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.

(d) Upon each Interest Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period applicable to the Loans to be made pursuant to the applicable Borrowing and shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders thereof. Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

(e) All calculations of interest shall be based on a 360-day year and actual days elapsed.

2.09 Interest Periods. All Interest Periods applicable to the New Loans shall be one-month Interest Periods. On the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan, the Borrower shall have the right to elect, by giving the Administrative Agent notice thereof, the interest period (each an “Interest Period”) applicable to such Eurodollar Loan, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower, be a one-, three- or six-month period or such other period as may be agreed by the Lenders (it being understood, however, that during the one-month period preceding the Maturity Date the Borrower, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, may select an Interest Period of less than one month so long as such Interest Period ends no later than the Maturity Date); provided that:

(i) all Eurodollar Loans comprising a Borrowing shall at all times have the same Interest Period;

(ii) the initial Interest Period for any Eurodollar Loan shall commence on the date of Borrowing of such Loan and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Eurodollar Loan shall commence on the day immediately following the day on which the immediately preceding Interest Period applicable thereto expires;

(iii) if any Interest Period relating to a Eurodollar Loan begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month;

-22-

(iv) if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the first succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the immediately preceding Business Day;

(v) no Interest Period longer than three months may be selected at any time when an Event of Default is then in existence; and

(vi) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing shall be selected which extends beyond the Maturity Date.

If by 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the third Business Day preceding the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected a one month Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period.

2.10 Increased Costs, Illegality, etc. (a) In the event that any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but, with respect to clause (i) below, may be made only by the Administrative Agent):

(i) on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the date of this Agreement affecting the applicable Eurodollar market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of Eurodollar Rate; or

(ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Eurodollar Loan because of (x) any change since the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline or request, such as but not limited to: (A) a change in the basis of taxation of payment to any Lender of the principal of or interest on such Eurodollar Loan or any other amounts payable hereunder (except for the imposition of, or any change in, the rate of any Excluded Tax), but without duplication of any increased costs with respect to Taxes which are addressed in Section 5.04, or (B) a change in official reserve requirements but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation of the Eurodollar Rate, and/or (y) other circumstances arising since the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date affecting such Lender or the interbank Eurodollar market or the position of such Lender in such market; or

(iii) at any time, that the making or continuance of any Eurodollar Loan has been made (x) unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order,

-23-

(y) impossible by compliance by any Lender in good faith with any governmental request (whether or not having force of law) and/or (z) impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date which materially and adversely affects the Eurodollar market;

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and, except in the case of clause (i) above, to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders). Thereafter, the Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender, upon such Lender’s written request therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto).

(b) [Intentionally Omitted].

(c) If any Lender determines that after the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date the introduction or effectiveness of or any change in any applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law) concerning capital adequacy, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender based on the existence of such Lender’s Loans hereunder or its obligations hereunder, then the Borrower agrees (to the extent applicable) to pay to such Lender, upon its written demand therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or such other corporation for the increased cost to such Lender or such other corporation or the reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation as a result of such increase of capital. In determining such additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable, provided that such Lender’s determination of compensation owing under this Section 2.10(c) shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. Each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this Section 2.10(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, which notice shall show in reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such additional amounts.

2.11 Compensation. The Borrower agrees to compensate each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any such loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Eurodollar Loans but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain in respect of Eurodollar Loans made to the Borrower: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 2.10(a)); (ii) if any

-24-

prepayment or repayment (including any prepayment or repayment made pursuant to Section 2.10(a), Section 5.01, Section 5.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the Eurodollar Loans pursuant to Section 10) of any of its Loans, or assignment of any of its Loans pursuant to Section 2.13, occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto; (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; or (iv) as a consequence of any other default by the Borrower to repay Eurodollar Loans or make payment on any Note held by such Lender when required by the terms of this Agreement.

2.12 Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(b), Section 3.06 or Section 5.04 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event, provided that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 2.12 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender provided in Sections 2.10, 3.06 and 5.04.

2.13 Replacement of Lenders. (y) Upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(b) or Section 5.04 with respect to any Lender which results in such Lender charging to the Borrower increased costs in excess of those being generally charged by the other Lenders, or (z) as provided in Section 14.12(b) in the case of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers, discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required Lenders, the Borrower shall have the right to either replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more Eligible Transferees (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) and each of whom shall be required to be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, provided that:

(i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Assumption Agreements pursuant to Section 14.04(b) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 14.04(b) to be paid by the Replacement Lender) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum (without duplication) of (I) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender and (II) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees owing to the Replaced Lender pursuant to Section 4.01; and

(ii) all obligations of the Borrower due and owing to the Replaced Lender at such time (other than those specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement.

Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above and, if so requested by the

-25-

Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Notes executed by the Borrower, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 12.06 and 14.01), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender.

2.14 Obsidian Agency Services as Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, at any time that Obsidian Agency Services, Inc. serves as the Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) the Lenders shall directly fund the Loans to the Borrower, (b) each Lender shall provide wire instructions to the Borrower with respect to payments to be received from the Borrower hereunder and the Borrower shall directly make any payments required or permitted hereunder to the Lenders and (c) neither the Lenders nor the Borrower shall remit any funds to the Administrative Agent to forward to another party hereunder.

(i) the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) at the Notice Office at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to prepay such Loans, the amount of such prepayment and the specific Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Loans were made, and which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders;

(ii) each prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), provided that no partial prepayment of Loans made pursuant to any Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than $1,000,000;

5.02 Mandatory Repayments. (a) On the first Business Day following receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales, the Borrower shall deposit such Net Cash Proceeds into the Blocked Account, other than Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales permitted by Section 10.02(iv), (v), (vi), (viii), (x), (xiii) or (xiv). Notwithstanding the previous sentence or any other provisions of this Agreement (i) Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales by the Mexican JV and distributions on account of any equity interest in the Mexican JV that are received following the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date shall be applied as follows: (A) the first $8,000,000 in the aggregate of all such Net Cash Proceeds may, at the option of the Required Lenders, be applied as a repayment of the outstanding Loans, deposited into the Blocked Account or a combination of both, (B) the next $5,000,000 in the aggregate of all such Net Cash Proceeds shall be deposited into the Blocked Account, and (C) thereafter, 50% of all such Net Cash Proceeds may, at the option of the Required Lenders, be applied as a repayment of the outstanding Loans, deposited into the Blocked Account or a combination of both, and the

(b) With respect to each repayment of Loans required by this Section 5.02, the Borrower may designate the specific Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Loans were made, provided that (i) repayments of Eurodollar Loans pursuant to this Section 5.02 may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto unless all Loans with Interest Periods ending on such date of required repayment have been paid in full and (ii) each repayment of any Loans comprising a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Loans. In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its sole discretion.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, all then outstanding Loans shall be repaid in full on the Maturity Date.

5.04 Net Payments; Taxes. (a) All payments made by any Credit Party hereunder or under any other Credit Document will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense. Except as provided in Section 5.04(b), all such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but excluding, with respect to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other recipient of any payment to be made by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder, (i) taxes imposed on or measured by its overall net income (however denominated), and franchise taxes imposed (in lieu of net income taxes), by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof) under the laws of which such recipient is organized or in which its principal office is located or, in the case of any Lender, in which its applicable lending office is located, (ii) any branch profits taxes imposed by the United States of America or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction in which the principle office or applicable lending office of the Administrative Agent or the Lender, as the case may be, is located , and (iii) in the

-28-

case of a Foreign Lender, any withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to such Foreign Lender at the time such Foreign Lender designates a new lending office or is attributable to such Foreign Lender’s failure to comply with Section 5.04(b), except to the extent that such Foreign Lender was entitled at the time of the designation of the new lending office to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such withholding tax pursuant to Section 5.04(a) (collectively, the “Excluded Taxes”), and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect to such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges being referred to collectively as “Taxes”). If any Taxes are required to be deducted or withheld, the Borrower agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes, and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment under this Agreement or under any Note, after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein or in such Note. The Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent as soon as practicable after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts or other evidence of such payment reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, and reimburse such Lender upon its written request, for the amount of any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such Lender; provided that, no Lender shall be indemnified for any Taxes hereunder unless such Lender shall make written demand on the Borrower for reimbursement hereunder no later than 180 days after the earlier of (i) the date on which such Lender makes payment of such Taxes and (ii) the date on which the relevant jurisdiction or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof makes initial written demand upon such Lender for payment of such Taxes.

(b) Each Lender that is not an “exempt recipient” (as such term is defined in Section 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii) in the United States Treasury Regulations), as reasonably determined by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such documentation (including Form W-9) prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. In addition, each Foreign Lender agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Original Effective Date (i) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) (or successor forms) certifying to such Foreign Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note, or (ii) if the Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) (or any successor forms) pursuant to clause (i) above, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D (any such certificate, a “Section 5.04(b)(ii) Certificate”) and (y) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) (or successor form) certifying to such Foreign Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under this Agreement and under any Note. In addition, each Foreign Lender agrees that from time to time after the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, when a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, such Foreign Lender will deliver to the Borrower and the

-29-

Administrative Agent two new accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN (with respect to the benefits of any income tax treaty), or Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) and a Section 5.04(b)(ii) Certificate, as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Foreign Lender to a continued exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Note, or such Foreign Lender shall immediately notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its inability to deliver any such Form or Certificate, in which case such Foreign Lender shall not be required to deliver any such Form or Certificate pursuant to this Section 5.04(b).

8.02 Corporate Power and Authority. Each Credit Party has the corporate or other applicable power and authority to execute, deliver and perform the terms and provisions of each of the Credit Documents to which it is party and has taken all necessary corporate or other applicable action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by it of each of such Credit Documents.

8.03 No Violation. Neither the execution, delivery or performance by any Credit Party of the Credit Documents to which it is a party, nor compliance by it with the terms and provisions thereof, (i) will contravene any provision of any law, statute, rule or regulation or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, (ii) will conflict with or result in any breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien (except pursuant to the Security Documents) upon any of the properties or assets any Credit Party pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, credit agreement or loan agreement, or any other material agreement, contract or instrument, in each case to which any Credit Party is a party or by which it or any material portion of its property or assets is bound or to which it may be subject or (iii) will violate any provision of the certificate or articles of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent organizational documents) of any Credit Party.

As of the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, the Credit Parties know of no reasonable basis for the assertion against it or any of its Subsidiaries of any liability or obligation of any nature whatsoever that is not fully disclosed in the financial statements or referred to in Section 8.05(a) which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) No part of any Credit Event (or the proceeds thereof) will be used to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock.

8.09 Tax Returns and Payments. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have timely filed or caused to be timely filed with the appropriate taxing authority all returns, statements, forms and reports for taxes (the “Returns”) required to be filed by, or with respect to the income, properties or operations of, the Borrower and/or any of its Subsidiaries. The Returns accurately reflect in all material respects all liability for taxes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as a whole for the periods covered thereby. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has paid all taxes and assessments payable by it, other than those that are being contested in good faith and adequately disclosed and fully provided for on the financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP. There is no action, suit, proceeding, investigation, audit or claim now pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened by any authority regarding any taxes relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on Schedule XII, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered into an agreement or waiver or been requested to enter into an agreement or waiver extending any statute of limitations relating

-36-

to the payment or collection of taxes of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or is aware of any circumstances that would cause the taxable years or other taxable periods of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries not to be subject to the normally applicable statute of limitations. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred, or will incur, any material tax liability in connection with the Transaction or any other transactions contemplated hereby (it being understood that the representation contained in this sentence does not cover any future tax liabilities of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries arising as a result of the operation of their businesses in the ordinary course of business).

8.10 Compliance with ERISA. (a) Schedule III sets forth, as of the Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, the name of each Plan and Foreign Pension Plan. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary of the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has ever sponsored, maintained or made any contributions to or has any liability in respect of any Plan which is subject to Title IV of ERISA or Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code; each Plan has been maintained and operated in compliance with the provisions of ERISA and, to the extent applicable, the Code, except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, including but not limited to the provisions thereunder respecting prohibited transactions. Each Plan (and each related trust, if any) which is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS to the effect that it meets the requirements of Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code covering all tax law changes prior to the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 or is comprised of a master or prototype plan that has received a favorable opinion letter from the IRS. All material contributions required to be made with respect to a Plan have been timely made or have been reflected on the most recent consolidated balance sheet filed prior to the date hereof or accrued in the accounting records of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary of the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has pending, or is considering filing, an application under the IRS Employee Plans Compliance Resolution System or the Department of Labor’s Voluntary Fiduciary Correction Program with respect to any Plan. No action, suit, proceeding, hearing, audit or investigation with respect to the administration, operation or the investment of assets of any Plan (other than routine claims for benefits) is pending, expected or threatened. Except as would not result in a Material Adverse Effect, each group health plan (as defined in Section 607(1) of ERISA or Section 4980B(g)(2) of the Code) which covers or has covered employees or former employees of the Borrower, any Subsidiary of the Borrower, or any ERISA Affiliate has at all times been operated in compliance with the provisions of Part 6 of subtitle B of Title I of ERISA and Section 4980B of the Code. Each group health plan (as defined in 45 Code of Federal Regulations Section 160.103) which covers or has covered employees or former employees of the Borrower, any Subsidiary of the Borrower, or any ERISA Affiliate has at all times been operated in compliance with the provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and the regulations promulgated thereunder, except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower, any Subsidiary of the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate, as appropriate, may terminate each such Plan at any time (or at any time subsequent to the expiration of any applicable bargaining agreement) in the discretion of such Person without liability to any Person other than for benefits accrued prior to the date of such termination. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries may cease contributions to or terminate any employee benefit plan maintained by any of them without incurring any liability that would result in a Material Adverse Effect.

-37-

(b) Each Foreign Pension Plan has been maintained in compliance with its terms and with the requirements of any and all applicable laws, statutes, rules, regulations and orders, except as would not result in a Material Adverse Effect, and has been maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities. All material contributions required to be made with respect to a Foreign Pension Plan have been timely made. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has incurred any obligation in connection with the termination of, or withdrawal from, any Foreign Pension Plan that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of the accrued benefit liabilities (whether or not vested) under each Foreign Pension Plan, determined as of the end of the Borrower’s most recently ended fiscal year on the basis of then current actuarial assumptions, each of which is reasonable, did not exceed the current value of the assets of such Foreign Pension Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities by an amount that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

The liability of the Guarantors hereunder is exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether executed by the Guarantors, any other guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of payment by the Borrower or by any other party, or (b) any other continuing or other guaranty, undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Guaranteed Obligations, or (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, or (d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by the Borrower, or (e) any payment made to any Guaranteed Creditor on the Guaranteed Obligations which any such Guaranteed Creditor repays to the Borrower or any other Subsidiary of the Borrower pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and the Borrower waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding, or (f) any action or inaction of the type described in Section 13.05.

13.04 Independent Obligation. The obligations of the Guarantors hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other guarantor, any other party or the Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Guarantors whether or not action is brought against any other guarantor, any other party or the Borrower and whether or not any other guarantor, any other party or the Borrower be joined in any such action or actions.

13.05 Authorization. The Guarantors authorize the Guaranteed Creditors without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute or this Agreement and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to:

(a) in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, change the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any of the Guaranteed Obligations (including any increase or decrease in the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest or fees thereon), any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and this Guaranty made shall apply to such Guaranteed Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed or altered;

(b) take and hold security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and sell, exchange, release, impair, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, the Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset thereagainst;

(h) take any other action which would, under otherwise applicable principles of common law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of the Guarantors from their liabilities under this Guaranty.

13.06 Reliance. It is not necessary for any Guaranteed Creditor to inquire into the capacity or powers of the Guarantors or any of their Subsidiaries or the officers, directors,

-76-

partners or agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any Guaranteed Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

13.07 Subordination. Any indebtedness of the Borrower now or hereafter owing to the Guarantors is hereby subordinated to the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower owing to the Guaranteed Creditors; and if the Administrative Agent so requests at a time when an Event of Default exists, all such indebtedness of the Borrower to the Guarantors shall be collected, enforced and received by the Guarantors for the benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors and be paid over to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Guaranteed Creditors on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of the Guarantors under the other provisions of this Guaranty. Prior to the transfer by the Guarantors of any note or negotiable instrument evidencing any such indebtedness of the Borrower to the Guarantors, the Guarantors shall ▇▇▇▇ such note or negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantors hereby agree with the Guaranteed Creditors that they will not exercise any right of subrogation which they may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise) until all Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash. If and to the extent required in order for the Guaranteed Obligations of any Guarantor to be enforceable under applicable federal, state and other laws relating to the insolvency of debtors, the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the greatest amount which can lawfully be guaranteed by such Guarantor under such laws, after giving effect to any rights of contribution, reimbursement and subrogation arising under this Section 13.07.

13.08 Waiver. (a) The Guarantors waive any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require any Guaranteed Creditor to (i) proceed against the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in any Guaranteed Creditor’s power whatsoever. The Guarantors waive any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, other than payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations, based on or arising out of the disability of the Borrower, any other guarantor or any other party, or the validity, legality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower other than payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guaranteed Creditors may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Creditor by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the Guaranteed Creditors may have against the Borrower, or any other party, or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of the Guarantors hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in cash. The Guarantors waive any defense arising out of any such election by the Guaranteed Creditors, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the Guarantors against the Borrower, or any other party or any security.

-77-

(b) The Guarantors waive all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including, without limitation, notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantors assume all responsibility for being and keeping themselves informed of the Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which the Guarantors assume and incur hereunder, and agree that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the other Guaranteed Creditors shall have any duty to advise the Guarantors of information known to them regarding such circumstances or risks.

13.09 Payment. All payments made by the Guarantors pursuant to this Section 13 shall be made in Dollars. All payments made by the Guarantors pursuant to this Section 13 will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense.

To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

14.02 Right of Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent and each Lender is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to any Credit Party or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent or such Lender (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies of the Administrative Agent or such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries against and on account of the Obligations and liabilities of the Credit Parties to the Administrative Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or under any of the other Credit Documents, including, without limitation, all interests in Obligations purchased by such Lender pursuant to Section 14.06(b), and all other claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although said Obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured.

14.04 Benefit of Agreement; Assignments; Participations.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights, obligations or interest hereunder or under any other Credit Document without the prior written consent of the Lenders, and, provided further, that, although any Lender may transfer, assign or grant participations in its rights hereunder, such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder (and may not transfer or assign all or any portion of its Loans and related outstanding Obligations hereunder except as provided in Sections 2.13 and 14.04(b)) and the transferee, assignee or participant, as the case may be, shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder and, provided further, that no Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement or to Section 14.07(a) shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or Fees payable hereunder) or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Loan Commitment (or the available portion thereof) or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under all of the Security Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Loans hereunder in which such participant is

-80-

participating. In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other Lenders) may (x) assign all or a portion of its Loans and related outstanding Obligations hereunder to (i) (A) its parent company and/or any affiliate of such other Lender which is at least 50% owned by such Lender or its parent company or (B) to one or more other Lenders or any affiliate of any such Lender which is at least 50% owned by such other Lender or its parent company (provided that any fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of another fund which is a Lender (or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor) shall be treated as an affiliate of such other Lender for the purposes of this sub-clause (x)(i)(B)), or (ii) in the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in loans, any other fund that invests in loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of any Lender or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor or (iii) to one or more Lenders or (y) assign all, or if less than all, a portion equal to at least $5.0 million in the aggregate for the assigning Lender or assigning Lenders, of such Loans and related outstanding Obligations hereunder to one or more Eligible Transferees (treating any fund that invests in bank loans and any other fund that invests in bank loans and is managed or advised by the same investment advisor of such fund or by an Affiliate of such investment advisor as a single Eligible Transferee), each of which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, provided that (i) at such time, Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect the outstanding Loans of such new Lender and of the existing Lenders, (ii) upon the surrender of the relevant Notes by the assigning Lender, new Notes will be issued, at the Borrower’s expense, to such new Lender and to the assigning Lender upon the request of such new Lender or assigning Lender, such new Notes to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.05 (with appropriate modifications) to the extent needed to reflect the revised outstanding Loans, (iii) the consent of (x) the Administrative Agent and (y) so long as no Default or Event of Default is then in existence, the Borrower shall, in each case, be required in connection with any such assignment pursuant to clause (y) above (each of which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (iv) the Administrative Agent shall receive at the time of each such assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee of $3,500 and (v) no such transfer or assignment will be effective until recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to Section 14.15. To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 14.04(b), the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned Loans. At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section 14.04(b) to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder and which is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, the respective assignee Lender shall, to the extent legally entitled to do so, provide to the Borrower the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable, a Section 5.04(b)(ii) Certificate described in Section 5.04(b)) to the extent such forms would provide a complete exemption from or reduction in United States withholding tax. In addition, each respective assignee Lender that is not an “exempt recipient” (as such term is defined in Section 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii) in the United States Treasury Regulations), as reasonably determined by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such documentation

-81-

(including Form W-9) prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such assignee Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Loans and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to Section 2.13 or this Section 14.04(b) would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Section 2.10 or 3.06 or additional amounts or indemnification under Section 5.04 hereof from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs, additional amounts or indemnification (although the Borrower, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment).

(c) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Loans and Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank and, with prior notification to the Administrative Agent (but without the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower), any Lender which is a fund may pledge all or any portion of its Loans and Notes to its trustee or to a collateral agent providing credit or credit support to such Lender in support of its obligations to such trustee, such collateral agent or a holder of such obligations, as the case may be. No pledge pursuant to this clause (c) shall release the transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.

14.05 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower or any other Credit Party and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Credit Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

14.06 Payments Pro Rata. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of any Obligations hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Lenders entitled thereto (other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata share of any such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.

(b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of

-82-

setoff or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents, or otherwise), which is applicable to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans or Fees, of a sum which with respect to the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in the Obligations of the respective Credit Party to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional participation by all the Lenders in such amount; provided that if all or any portion of such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lenders, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

14.07 Calculations; Computations. (a) The financial statements to be furnished to the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with GAAP in the United States consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise disclosed in writing by the Borrower to the Lenders to the extent, in each case, permitted by the terms of this Agreement); provided that, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all computations of the Applicable Margin, and all computations and all definitions (including accounting terms) used in determining compliance with the Financial Covenants, shall utilize generally accepted accounting principles and policies in conformity with, and consistent with, those used to prepare the historical audited consolidated financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries referred to in Section 8.05(a).

(b) All computations of interest and other Fees (as applicable) hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or other Fees are payable.

14.08 GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

14.12 Amendment or Waiver; etc. (a) Neither this Agreement nor any other Credit Document nor any terms hereof or thereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated unless such change, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing signed by the respective Credit Parties party hereto or thereto and the Required Lenders (although additional parties may be added to (and annexes may be modified to reflect such additions), and Subsidiaries of the Borrower may be released from, the Guaranty and the Security Documents in accordance with the provisions hereof and thereof without the consent of the other Credit Parties party thereto or the Required Lenders), provided that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall, without the consent of each Lender (with Obligations being directly affected in the case of the following clause (i)), (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce the amount, or extend the time of payment, of any Fees (except in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), or reduce the principal amount of any Loan (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement or to Section 14.07(a) shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or the amount of Fees for the purposes of this clause (i)), (ii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) under all the Security Documents, (iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 14.12, (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 Loan Commitments on the Original Effective Date), (iv) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders (it being understood that, with the 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 Loan Commitments are included on the Original Effective Date) or (v) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided further, that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall (1) increase the Loan Commitments of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default shall not constitute an increase of the Loan Commitment of any Lender, and that an increase in the available portion of any Loan Commitment of any Lender shall not constitute an increase of the Loan Commitment of such Lender), (2) without the consent of the Administrative Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 12 or any other provision as same relates to the rights or obligations of the Administrative Agent or (3) without

-85-

the consent of the Collateral Agent, amend, modify or waive any provision relating to the rights or obligations of the Collateral Agent.

(b) If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of any of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by clauses (i) through (v), inclusive, of the first proviso to Section 14.12(a), the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then the Borrower shall have the right, so long as all non-consenting Lenders whose individual consent is required are treated as described in either clauses (A) or (B) below, to either (A) replace such non-consenting Lender or Lenders with one or more Replacement Lenders pursuant to Section 2.13 so long as at the time of such replacement, each such Replacement Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination or (B) repay each outstanding Loan of such Lender in accordance with Section 5.01(b), provided that, unless the Loans that are repaid, pursuant to preceding clause (B) are immediately replaced in full at such time through the addition of new Lenders, provided further, that in any event, the Borrower shall not have the right to replace a Lender, terminate its Loan or repay its Loans solely as a result of the exercise of such Lender’s rights (and the withholding of any required consent by such Lender) pursuant to the second proviso to Section 14.12(a).

14.13 Survival. All indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, in Sections 2.10, 2.11, 3.06, 5.04, 12.06 and 14.01 shall survive the execution, delivery and termination of this Agreement and the Notes and the making and repayment of the Obligations.

14.14 Domicile of Loans. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any office, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that a transfer of Loans pursuant to this Section 14.14 would, at the time of such transfer, result in increased costs under Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.06 or 5.04 from those being charged by the respective Lender prior to such transfer, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective transfer).

14.15 Register. The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as its agent, solely for purposes of this Section 14.15, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the Loans made by each of the Lenders and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan shall not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent with respect to ownership of such Loans and prior to such recordation all amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Loans shall remain owing to the transferor. The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Loans shall be recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section 14.04(b). Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning

-86-

or transferor Lender shall surrender the Note (if any) evidencing such Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the new Lender at the request of any such Lender. The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its duties under this Section 14.15.

14.16 Confidentiality. (a) Subject to the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 14.16, each Lender agrees that it will use its reasonable efforts not to disclose without the prior consent of the Borrower (other than to its employees, auditors, advisors or counsel or to another Lender if such Lender or such Lender’s holding or parent company or board of trustees in its sole discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information, provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 14.16 to the same extent as such Lender) any information with respect to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which is now or in the future furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, provided that any Lender may disclose any such information (i) as has become generally available to the public other than by virtue of a breach of this Section 14.16(a) by the respective Lender, (ii) 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 Lender or to the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors, (iii) as may be required or appropriate in respect to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (iv) in order to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Lender, (v) to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, (vi) to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in any swap, hedge or similar agreement (or to any such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor), so long as such contractual counterparty (or such professional advisor) agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 14.16, and (vii) to any prospective or actual transferee or participant in connection with any contemplated transfer or participation of any of the Notes or any interest therein by such Lender, provided that such prospective transferee agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions contained in this Section 14.16.

(b) The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Lender may share with any of its affiliates, and such affiliates may share with such Lender, any information related to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any non-public customer information regarding the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries), provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 14.16 to the same extent as such Lender.

14.17 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender hereby notifies each Credit Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub.: 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “PATRIOT Act”), it is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which information includes the name of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the PATRIOT Act, and each Credit Party agrees to provide such information from time to time to any Lender.

(i) EACH SECURED PARTY UNDERSTANDS, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT LIENS SHALL BE CREATED ON THE SECOND-LIEN NOTES COLLATERAL PURSUANT TO THE SECOND-LIEN NOTES DOCUMENTATION, WHICH LIENS SHALL BE REQUIRED TO BE SECOND IN PRIORITY TO THE LIENS CREATED PURSUANT TO THE CREDIT DOCUMENTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.

(iii) THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 14.18 ARE NOT INTENDED TO SUMMARIZE ALL RELEVANT PROVISIONS OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, THE FORM OF WHICH IS ATTACHED AS AN EXHIBIT TO THIS AGREEMENT. REFERENCE MUST BE MADE TO THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT ITSELF TO UNDERSTAND ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS THEREOF. EACH SECURED CREDITOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING ITS OWN ANALYSIS AND REVIEW OF THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT AND THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS THEREOF, AND NO AGENT (AND NONE OF ITS AFFILIATES) MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION TO ANY SECURED CREDITOR AS TO THE SUFFICIENCY OR ADVISABILITY OF THE PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN THE INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT.

14.19 General Release; Indemnity. In consideration of, among other things, the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, and any financial accommodations which the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender elects to extend to the Borrower or any other Credit Party after the date hereof, each of the Borrower and the other Credit Parties, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns (collectively, “Releasors”), hereby forever waives, releases and discharges to the fullest extent permitted by law, and hereby agrees to hold each Releasee (as defined below) harmless from, any and all claims (including, without limitation, crossclaims, counterclaims, rights of set-off and recoupment), causes of action, demands, suits, costs, expenses and damages (collectively, the “Claims”), that any Releasor now has, of whatsoever nature and kind, whether known or unknown, whether arising at law or in equity, against any or all of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Lenders, the Prior Administrative Agent, the Resigning Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lenders (as such term is defined in the

In entering into this Agreement, Borrower and the other Credit Parties have consulted with, and been represented by, legal counsel and expressly disclaim any reliance on any representations, acts or omissions by any of the Releasees and hereby agree and acknowledge that the validity and effectiveness of the releases set forth above do not depend in any way on any such representations, acts and/or omissions or the accuracy, completeness or validity hereof.

14.20 Affirmation. Each of the parties hereto confirm, acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is an amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement and that the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement does not create a novation of any obligations existing under the Existing Credit Agreement.
