arrange for the Obligated Parties to obtain Bank Products from the Bank, any Lender, or any
Affiliate of the Bank or any Lender. If Bank Products are provided by the Bank, any Lender,

“3.7 Apportionment, Application and Reversal of Payments. Principal and

payments of the fees shall, as applicable, be apportioned ratably among the Lenders, except
for fees payable: (i) solely to the Agent as set forth herein; (ii) to the Agent, for its
own benefit, and certain Lenders as set forth in the Fee Letter; (iii) solely to the Letter
of Credit Issuer as set forth in Section 2.6, and (iv) to certain Lenders as set

payments not relating to principal or interest of specific Loans, or not constituting
payment of specific fees, and all proceeds of Accounts or other Collateral received by the
Agent, shall be applied, ratably, subject to the provisions of this Agreement: first, to pay
any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements then due to the Agent from the Obligated
Parties; second, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the
Obligated Parties; third, to pay interest due in respect of all Loans, including Non-Ratable

Issuer(s) an aggregate amount equal to all outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations to be
held as cash collateral for such Obligations; seventh, to pay all obligations and
liabilities of whatever kind or nature relating to Bank Products; and eighth, to the payment
of all other Obligations, if any. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, unless so directed by the Borrower, or unless an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, neither the Agent nor any Lender shall apply any payments that it
receives to any LIBOR Revolving Loan, except: (a) on the expiration date of the Interest
Period applicable to any such LIBOR Revolving Loan; or (b) in the event, and only to the
extent, that there are no outstanding Base Rate Revolving Loans and, in any event, the
Obligated Parties shall pay LIBOR breakage losses in accordance with Section 4.4.
Each Obligated Party irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any payments
or Collateral proceeds, and agrees that the Agent shall have the continuing, exclusive right
to apply and reapply same against the Obligations and to retain proceeds of Collateral or
payments and prepayments in respect of the Obligations to Cash Collateralize Letters of
Credit and Credit Support during the continuation of an Event of Default, all in such manner
as the Agent deems advisable, notwithstanding any entry by the Agent in its records.”
Section 2.6 Amendment to Section 12.20. Section 12.20 of the Credit Agreement
is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:
“12.20 Co-Agents. None of the Lenders identified on the facing page or
signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent” or “co-documentation agent” shall
have any right, power, obligation, liability, or responsibility or duty under this Agreement
other than those applicable to all Lenders in their capacities as Lenders. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, none of the Lenders so identified shall have or be deemed
to have any fiduciary relationship with any other Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it
has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders so identified in deciding to enter
into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.”
