INTEREST, YIELD PROTECTION AND FEES

SECTION 3.1 Disbursement of the Proceeds of Loans

The Administrative Agent shall disburse the proceeds of Loans by wire transfer of the funds received from each Lender to the account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower in writing to the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received prior notice from a Lender (by fax or other writing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Loan to be made by it on a Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such Borrowing Date in accordance with this Section, provided that such Lender received notice thereof from the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such Borrowing Date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent such Lender shall not have so made such amount available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, forthwith on demand, such corresponding amount (to the extent not previously paid by the other), together with interest thereon for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to, in the case of the Borrower, the applicable interest rate set forth in Section 3.4(a) and, in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate from the date such payment is due until the third day after such date and, thereafter, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 2%. Any such payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to its rights against such Lender. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Loans for purposes of this Agreement, which Loan shall be deemed to have been made by such Lender on the Borrowing Date applicable to such Loans.

SECTION 3.2 Payments

(a) Each payment, including each prepayment, of principal and interest on the Loans and of the Unused Fee and the Duration Fee (collectively, together with all of the other fees to be paid to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the Loan Documents, the “Fees”), and of all of the other amounts to be paid to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the Loan Documents shall be made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent at its office specified in Section 11.2 without setoff, deduction or counterclaim in funds immediately available in New York by 3:00 P.M. on the due date for such payment. The failure of the Borrower to make any such payment by such time shall not constitute a default hereunder, provided that such payment is made on such due date, but any such payment made after 3:00 P.M. on such due date shall be deemed to have been made on the

-20-

next Domestic Business Day or Eurodollar Business Day, as the case may be, for the purpose of calculating interest on amounts outstanding on the Loans. If the Borrower has not made any such payment prior to 3:00 P.M., the Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deduct the amount of any such payment from such account(s) as the Borrower may from time to time designate in writing to the Administrative Agent, upon which the Administrative Agent shall apply the amount of such deduction to such payment. Promptly upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, each payment of principal and interest on the Loans shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent in like funds as received to each Lender (a) first, pro rata according to the amount of interest which is then due and payable to the Lenders, and (b) second, pro rata according to the amount of principal which is then due and payable to the Lenders. Each payment of the Fees payable to the Lenders shall be promptly transmitted by the Administrative Agent in like funds as received to each Lender pro rata according to such Lender’s Commitment Amount or, if the Commitments shall have terminated or been terminated, according to the outstanding principal amount of such Lender’s Loans.

(b) If any payment hereunder or under the Loans shall be due and payable on a day which is not a Domestic Business Day or Eurodollar Business Day, as the case may be, the due date thereof (except as otherwise provided in the definition of Eurodollar Interest Period) shall be extended to the next Domestic Business Day or Eurodollar Business Day, as the case may be, and (except with respect to payments of the Unused Fee and the Duration Fee) interest shall be payable at the applicable rate specified herein during such extension.

SECTION 3.3 Conversions; Other Matters

(a) The Borrower may elect at any time and from time to time to Convert one or more Eurodollar Advances to an ABR Advance by giving the Administrative Agent at least one Domestic Business Day’s prior irrevocable notice of such election, specifying the amount to be so Converted. In addition, the Borrower may elect at any time and from time to time to Convert an ABR Advance to any one or more new Eurodollar Advances or to Convert any one or more existing Eurodollar Advances to any one or more new Eurodollar Advances by giving the Administrative Agent no later than 10:00 A.M. at least two Eurodollar Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice, in the case of a Conversion to Eurodollar Advances, of such election, specifying the amount to be so Converted and the initial Eurodollar Interest Period relating thereto, provided that any Conversion of an ABR Advance to Eurodollar Advances shall only be made on a Eurodollar Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall promptly provide the Lenders with notice of each such election. Each Conversion of Loans from one Type to another shall be made pro rata according to the outstanding principal amount of the Loans of each Lender. ABR Advances and Eurodollar Advances may be Converted pursuant to this Section in whole or in part, provided that the amount to be Converted to each Eurodollar Advance, when aggregated with any Eurodollar Advance to be made on such date in accordance with Section 2.1 and having the same Eurodollar Interest Period as such first Eurodollar Advance, shall equal no less than $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, the Borrower shall have no right to elect to Convert any existing ABR Advance to a new Eurodollar Advance or to

-21-

Convert any existing Eurodollar Advance to a new Eurodollar Advance. In such event, such ABR Advance shall be automatically continued as an ABR Advance or such Eurodollar Advance shall be automatically Converted to an ABR Advance on the last day of the Eurodollar Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Advance. The foregoing shall not affect any other rights or remedies that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(c) Each Conversion shall be effected by each Lender by applying the proceeds of each new ABR Advance or Eurodollar Advance, as the case may be, to the existing Advance (or portion thereof) being Converted (it being understood that such Conversion shall not constitute a borrowing for purposes of Article 4, Article 5 or Article 6).

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document:

(i) if the Borrower shall have failed to elect a Eurodollar Advance under Section 2.2 or this Section 3.3, as the case may be, in connection with any borrowing of new Loans or expiration of an Eurodollar Interest Period with respect to any existing Eurodollar Advance, the amount of the Loans subject to such borrowing or such existing Eurodollar Advance shall thereafter be an ABR Advance until such time, if any, as the Borrower shall elect a new Eurodollar Advance pursuant to this Section 3.3,

(ii) the Borrower shall not be permitted to select a Eurodollar Advance the Eurodollar Interest Period in respect of which ends later than the Maturity Date, and

(iii) the Borrower shall not be permitted to have more than ten Eurodollar Advances outstanding at any one time, it being understood and agreed that each borrowing of Eurodollar Advances pursuant to a single Borrowing Request shall constitute the making of one Eurodollar Advance for the purpose of calculating such limitation.

Any payment of principal, interest or any Fees not paid on the date when due and payable shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus 2% per annum from the due date thereof until the date such payment is made (whether before or after the entry of any judgment thereon).

(c) Highest Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at no time shall the interest rate payable to any Lender on any of its Loans, together with any Fees and all other amounts payable hereunder to such Lender to the extent the same constitute or are deemed to constitute interest, exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If in respect of any period during the term of this Agreement, any amount paid to any Lender hereunder, to the extent the same shall (but for the provisions of this Section 3.4) constitute or be deemed to constitute interest, would exceed the maximum amount of interest permitted by the Highest Lawful Rate during such period (such amount being hereinafter referred to as an “Unqualified Amount”), then (i) such Unqualified Amount shall be applied or shall be deemed to have been applied as a prepayment of the Loans of such Lender, and (ii) if, in any subsequent period during the term of this Agreement, all amounts payable hereunder to such Lender in respect of such period which constitute or shall be deemed to constitute interest shall be less than the maximum amount of interest permitted by the Highest Lawful Rate during such period, then the Borrower shall pay to such Lender in respect of such period an amount (each a “Compensatory Interest Payment”) equal to the lesser of (x) a sum which, when added to all such amounts, would equal the maximum amount of interest permitted by the Highest Lawful Rate during such period, and (y) an amount equal to the aggregate sum of all Unqualified Amounts less all other Compensatory Interest Payments.

(d) General. Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, on the Expiration Date and, to the extent provided pursuant to Section 2.6(d), upon each prepayment of the Loans. Any change in the interest rate on the Loans resulting from an increase or a decrease in the Alternate Base Rate or any reserve requirement shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change shall become effective. The Administrative Agent shall (i) in accordance with its customary practice, provide notice to the Borrower when interest payments are due, and (ii) as soon as practicable, notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each change in the Prime Rate, but any failure to so notify shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to pay interest on the Loans in the amounts and on the dates set forth herein. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of the Alternate Base Rate and the Eurodollar Rate pursuant to this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower absent manifest error. The Borrower acknowledges that to the extent interest payable on the Loans is based on the Alternate Base Rate, such rate is only one of the bases for computing interest on loans made by the Lenders, and by basing interest payable on ABR Advances on the Alternate Base Rate, the Lenders have not committed to charge, and the Borrower has not in any way bargained for, interest based on a lower or the lowest rate at which the Lenders may now or in the future make extensions of credit to other Persons. All interest (other than interest calculated with reference to the Prime Rate) shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days

-23-

elapsed, and all interest determined with reference to the Prime Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 365/366-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

SECTION 3.5 Indemnification for Loss

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if: (i) the Borrower shall fail to borrow a Eurodollar Advance or if the Borrower shall fail to Convert a Eurodollar Advance after it shall have given notice to do so in which it shall have requested a Eurodollar Advance pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 3.3, as the case may be, (ii) a Eurodollar Advance shall be terminated for any reason prior to the last day of the Eurodollar Interest Period applicable thereto, (iii) any repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of a Eurodollar Advance is made for any reason on a date which is prior to the last day of the Eurodollar Interest Period applicable thereto, or (iv) the Borrower shall have revoked a notice of prepayment or notice of termination of the Commitments that was conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the consummation of the issuance of long term Indebtedness or equity securities pursuant to Section 2.5 or Section 2.6, the Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender against, and to pay on demand directly to such Lender the amount (calculated by such Lender using any method chosen by such Lender which is customarily used by such Lender for such purpose) equal to any loss or expense suffered by such Lender as a result of such failure to borrow or Convert, or such termination, repayment, prepayment or revocation, including any loss, cost or expense suffered by such Lender in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain the funding of such Eurodollar Advance or redeploying funds prepaid or repaid, in amounts which correspond to such Eurodollar Advance and any reasonable internal processing charge customarily charged by such Lender in connection therewith.

SECTION 3.6 Reimbursement for Costs, Etc.

If at any time or from time to time there shall occur a Regulatory Change and any Lender shall have reasonably determined that such Regulatory Change (i) shall have had or will thereafter have the effect of reducing (A) the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or the capital of any Person directly or indirectly owning or controlling such Lender (each a “Control Person”), or (B) the asset value (for capital purposes) to such Lender or such Control Person, as applicable, of the Loans, or any participation therein, in any case to a level below that which such Lender or such Control Person could have achieved or would thereafter be able to achieve but for such Regulatory Change (after taking into account such Lender’s or such Control Person’s policies regarding capital), (ii) will impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, asset, special deposit or special assessment requirements on deposits obtained in the interbank eurodollar market in connection with the Loan Documents (excluding, with respect to any Eurodollar Advance, any such requirement which is included in the determination of the rate applicable thereto), (iii) will subject such Lender or such Control Person, as applicable, to any tax (documentary, stamp or otherwise) with respect to this Agreement or any Note, or (iv) will change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or such Control Person, as applicable, of principal, interest or fees payable under the Loan Documents (except, in the case of clauses (iii) and (iv) above, for any tax or changes in the rate of tax on such Lender’s or such Control Person’s net income) then, in each such case, within ten days after demand by such Lender, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender or such Control Person, as the case may be, such additional

-24-

amount or amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender or such Control Person, as the case may be, for any such reduction, reserve or other requirement, tax, loss, cost or expense (excluding general administrative and overhead costs) (collectively, “Costs”) attributable to such Lender’s or such Control Person’s compliance during the term hereof with such Regulatory Change. Each Lender may make multiple requests for compensation under this Section.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower will not be required to compensate any Lender for any Costs under this Section 3.6 arising prior to 45 days preceding the date of demand, unless the applicable Regulatory Change giving rise to such Costs is imposed retroactively. In the case of retroactivity, such notice shall be provided to the Borrower not later than 45 days from the date that such Lender learned of such Regulatory Change. The Borrower’s obligation to compensate such Lender shall be contingent upon the provision of such timely notice (but any failure by such Lender to provide such timely notice shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations with respect to (i) Costs incurred from the date as of which such Regulatory Change became effective to the date that is 45 days after the date such Lender reasonably should have learned of such Regulatory Change and (ii) Costs incurred following the provision of such notice).

SECTION 3.7 Illegality of Funding

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if any Lender shall reasonably determine that any law, regulation, treaty or directive, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Advance as contemplated by this Agreement, such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof, and (a) the commitment of such Lender to make such Eurodollar Advances or Convert ABR Advances to such Eurodollar Advances shall forthwith be suspended, (b) such Lender shall fund its portion of each requested Eurodollar Advance as an ABR Advance and (c) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as such Eurodollar Advances, if any, shall be Converted automatically to an ABR Advance on the last day of the then current Eurodollar Interest Period applicable thereto or at such earlier time as may be required. If the commitment of any Lender with respect to Eurodollar Advances is suspended pursuant to this Section and such Lender shall have obtained actual knowledge that it is once again legal for such Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Advances, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower thereof and, upon receipt of such notice by each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, such Lender’s commitment to make or maintain Eurodollar Advances shall be reinstated. If the commitment of any Lender with respect to Eurodollar Advances is suspended pursuant to this Section, such suspension shall not otherwise affect such Lender’s Commitment.

SECTION 3.8 Option to Fund; Substituted Interest Rate

(a) Each Lender has indicated that, if the Borrower requests a Eurodollar Advance, such Lender may wish to purchase one or more deposits in order to fund or maintain its funding of its Pro Rata Percentage of such Eurodollar Advance during the Eurodollar Interest Period with respect thereto; it being understood that the provisions of this Agreement relating to such funding are included only for the purpose of determining the rate of interest to be paid in respect of such Eurodollar Advance and any amounts owing under Section 3.5 and Section 3.6.

-25-

Each Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of each Eurodollar Advance in any manner it sees fit, but all such determinations hereunder shall be made as if such Lender had actually funded and maintained its Pro Rata Percentage of each Eurodollar Advance during the applicable Eurodollar Interest Period through the purchase of deposits in an amount equal to the amount of its Pro Rata Percentage of such Eurodollar Advance and having a maturity corresponding to such Eurodollar Interest Period. Each Lender may fund its Loans from or for the account of any branch or office of such Lender as such Lender may choose from time to time, subject to Section 3.10.

(b) In the event that (i) the Administrative Agent shall have determined in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate applicable pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 3.3, or (ii) the Required Lenders shall have notified the Administrative Agent that they have in good faith determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower) that the applicable Eurodollar Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of maintaining or funding loans bearing interest based on such Eurodollar Rate with respect to any portion of the Loans that the Borrower has requested be made as Eurodollar Advances or any Eurodollar Advance that will result from the requested conversion of any portion of the Loans into Eurodollar Advances (each, an “Affected Advance”), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders (by fax or other writing) of such determination on or, to the extent practicable, prior to the requested Borrowing Date or Conversion date for such Affected Advances. If the Administrative Agent shall give such notice, (A) any Affected Advances shall be made as ABR Advances, (B) the Loans (or any portion thereof) that were to have been Converted to Affected Advances shall be Converted to or continued as ABR Advances, and (C) any outstanding Affected Advances shall be Converted, on the last day of the then current Eurodollar Interest Period with respect thereto, to ABR Advances. Until any notice under clauses (i) or (ii), as the case may be, of this Section 3.8(b) has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent (by notice to the Borrower) promptly upon either (x) the Administrative Agent having determined that such circumstances affecting the relevant market no longer exist and that adequate and reasonable means do exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 3.3, or (y) the Administrative Agent having been notified by such Required Lenders that circumstances no longer render the Loans (or any portion thereof) Affected Advances, no further Eurodollar Advances shall be required to be made by the Lenders nor shall the Borrower have the right to Convert all or any portion of the Loans to Eurodollar Advances.

SECTION 3.9 Certificates of Payment and Reimbursement

Each Lender agrees, in connection with any request by it for payment or reimbursement pursuant to Section 3.5 or Section 3.6, to provide the Borrower with a certificate, signed by an officer of such Lender, setting forth a description in reasonable detail of any such payment or reimbursement. Each determination by each Lender of such payment or reimbursement shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

-26-

SECTION 3.10 Taxes; Net Payments

(a) All payments made by the Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, any taxes required by law to be withheld from any amounts payable under the Loan Documents. In the event that the Borrower is prohibited by law from making such payments free of deductions or withholdings, then the Borrower shall pay such additional amounts to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, as may be necessary in order that the actual amounts received by the Lenders in respect of interest and any other amounts payable under the Loan Documents after deduction or withholding (and after payment of any additional taxes or other charges due as a consequence of the payment of such additional amounts) shall equal the amount that would have been received if such deduction or withholding were not required. In the event that any such deduction or withholding can be reduced or nullified as a result of the application of any relevant double taxation convention, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent will, at the expense of the Borrower, cooperate with the Borrower in making application to the relevant taxing authorities seeking to obtain such reduction or nullification, provided that the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to (i) engage in any litigation, hearing or proceeding with respect thereto or (ii) disclose any tax return or other confidential information. If the Borrower shall make any payment under this Section or shall make any deduction or withholding from amounts paid under any Loan Document, the Borrower shall forthwith forward to the Administrative Agent original or certified copies of official receipts or other evidence acceptable to the Administrative Agent establishing each such payment, deduction or withholding, as the case may be, and the Administrative Agent in turn shall distribute copies thereof to each Lender. If any payment to any Lender under any Loan Document is or becomes subject to any withholding, such Lender shall (unless otherwise required by a Governmental Authority or as a result of any law, rule, regulation, order or similar directive applicable to such Lender) designate a different office or branch to which such payment is to be made from that initially selected thereby, if such designation would avoid such withholding and would not be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender in any respect. In the event that any Lender determines that it received a refund or credit for taxes paid by the Borrower under this Section, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such fact and shall remit to the Borrower the amount of such refund or credit applicable to the payments made by the Borrower in respect of such Lender under this Section.

(b) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under the Loan Documents shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Borrower shall have no obligation to pay to any Lender any amount which the Borrower is liable to withhold due to the failure of such Lender to file any statement of exemption required by the Internal Revenue Code.

-27-

SECTION 3.11 Unused Fee

The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the pro rata account of each Lender a fee (the “Unused Fee”) during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on the Commitment Termination Date, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on the last day of the calendar quarter in which the Effective Date shall have occurred, and on the Commitment Termination Date, at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin of the average daily Available Commitment of such Lender. The Unused Fee shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

SECTION 3.12 Duration Fee

The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the pro rata account of each Lender a fee (the “Duration Fee”) in an amount equal to (a) on December 31, 2008, 0.25% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Loans on such date, (b) on the date that is 180 days after the first Borrowing Date, 0.50% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Loans on such date, and (c) on the date that is 270 days after the first Borrowing Date, 0.75% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Loans on such date.

SECTION 3.13 Replacement of Lender

If the Borrower is obligated to pay to any Lender any amount under Section 3.6 or Section 3.10, the Borrower shall have the right within 90 days thereafter, in accordance with the requirements of Section 11.7(b), if no Default or Event of Default shall exist, to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other assignees (each a “Replacement Lender”), provided that (i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this Section, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment and Acceptance Agreements pursuant to Section 11.7(b) (with the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 11.7(b) payable pursuant to said Section 11.7(b) to be paid by the Replacement Lender) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire the Commitment (if any) and the outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay the following: (a) to the Replaced Lender, an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender and (B) an amount equal to all accrued, but unpaid, fees owing to the Replaced Lender and (b) to the Administrative Agent, an amount equal to all amounts owed by such Replaced Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, including, without limitation, an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender, a corresponding amount of which was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.1 and which has not been repaid to the Administrative Agent by such Replaced Lender or the Borrower, and (ii) all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Replaced Lender (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 Acceptance Agreements and the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 3.13, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification

-28-

provisions under this Agreement that are intended to survive the termination of the Commitments and the repayment of the Loans.

ARTICLE 4

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

In order to induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement, and the Lenders to make Loans, the Borrower hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders:

SECTION 4.1 Existence and Power

Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation (except, in the case of the Subsidiaries, where the failure to be in such good standing could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse effect), has all requisite corporate power and authority to own its Property and to carry on its business as now conducted, and is qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which it owns or leases real Property or in which the nature of its business requires it to be so qualified (except those jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or to be in good standing could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse effect).

SECTION 4.2 Authority

The Borrower has full corporate power and authority to enter into, execute, deliver and perform the terms of the Loan Documents, all of which have been duly authorized by all proper and necessary corporate action and are not in contravention of any applicable law or the terms of its Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws. No consent or approval of, or other action by, shareholders of the Borrower, any Governmental Authority, or any other Person (which has not already been obtained) is required to authorize in respect of the Borrower, or is required in connection with the execution, delivery, and performance by the Borrower of the Loan Documents or is required as a condition to the enforceability of the Loan Documents against the Borrower.

SECTION 4.3 Binding Agreement

The Loan Documents constitute the valid and legally binding obligations of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by equitable principles relating to the availability of specific performance as a remedy.

SECTION 4.4 Litigation

As of August 12, 2008, there were no actions, suits, arbitration proceedings or claims (whether purportedly on behalf of the Borrower, any Subsidiary or otherwise) pending or,

-29-

to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective Properties, or maintained by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, at law or in equity, before any Governmental Authority which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse effect. There are no proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against the Borrower or any Subsidiary (a) which call into question the validity or enforceability of any Loan Document, or otherwise seek to invalidate, any Loan Document, or (b) which might, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect any of the transactions contemplated by any Loan Document (it being understood that the Longs Acquisition is not a transaction contemplated by any Loan Document for the purposes of this clause (b)).

SECTION 4.5 No Conflicting Agreements

(a) Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is in default under any agreement to which it is a party or by which it or any of its Property is bound the effect of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse effect. No notice to, or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required for the due execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Loan Documents.

(b) No provision of any existing material mortgage, material indenture, material contract or material agreement or of any existing statute, rule, regulation, judgment, decree or order binding on the Borrower or any Subsidiary or affecting the Property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary conflicts with, or requires any consent which has not already been obtained under, or would in any way prevent the execution, delivery or performance by the Borrower of the terms of, any Loan Document. The execution, delivery or performance by the Borrower of the terms of each Loan Document will not constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of, or obligation to create, any Lien upon the Property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of any such mortgage, indenture, contract or agreement.

SECTION 4.6 Taxes

The Borrower and each Subsidiary has filed or caused to be filed all tax returns, and has paid, or has made adequate provision for the payment of, all taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or in any assessments made against them, the failure of which to file or pay could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse effect, and no tax Liens (other than Liens permitted under Section 8.2) have been filed against the Borrower or any Subsidiary and no claims are being asserted with respect to such taxes which are required by GAAP to be reflected in the Financial Statements and are not so reflected, except for taxes which have been assessed but which are not yet due and payable. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower and each Subsidiary with respect to all federal, state, local and other taxes are considered by the management of the Borrower to be adequate, and the Borrower knows of no unpaid assessment which (a) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse effect, or (b) is or might be due and payable against it or any Subsidiary or any Property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, except such thereof as are being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted, and for which adequate reserves have been set aside in accordance with GAAP or which have been assessed but are not yet due and payable.

-30-

SECTION 4.7 Compliance with Applicable Laws; Filings

Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree or decision of any Governmental Authority which default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse effect. The Borrower and each Subsidiary is complying with all applicable statutes, rules and regulations of all Governmental Authorities, a violation of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse effect. The Borrower and each Subsidiary has filed or caused to be filed with all Governmental Authorities all reports, applications, documents, instruments and information required to be filed pursuant to all applicable laws, rules, regulations and requests which, if not so filed, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse effect.

SECTION 4.8 Governmental Regulations

Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary nor any corporation controlling the Borrower or any Subsidiary or under common control with the Borrower or any Subsidiary is subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or is subject to any statute or regulation which regulates the incurrence of Indebtedness.

SECTION 4.9 Federal Reserve Regulations; Use of Proceeds

The Borrower is not engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, as amended. No part of the proceeds of the Loans has been or will be used, directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, for a purpose which violates any law, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority, including, without limitation, the provisions of Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, as amended. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender shall be obligated to extend credit to or on behalf of the Borrower in violation of any limitation or prohibition provided by any applicable law, regulation or statute, including said Regulation U. Following application of the proceeds of each Loan, not more than 25% (or such greater or lesser percentage as is provided in the exclusions from the definition of “Indirectly Secured” contained in said Regulation U as in effect at the time of the making of such Loan) of the value of the assets of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries on a Consolidated basis that are subject to Section 8.2 will be Margin Stock. In addition, no part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, to make a loan to any director or executive officer of the Borrower or any Subsidiary.

SECTION 4.10 No Misrepresentation

No representation or warranty contained in any Loan Document and no certificate or written report furnished by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to any Loan Document contains or will contain, as of its date, a misstatement of material fact, or omits or will omit to state, as of its date, a material fact required to be stated in order to make the statements therein contained not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which made

-31-

(it being understood that the Borrower makes no representation or warranty hereunder with respect to any projections or other forward looking information).

SECTION 4.11 Plans

Each Employee Benefit Plan of the Borrower, each Subsidiary and each ERISA Affiliate is in compliance with ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code, where applicable, except where the failure to so comply would not be material. The Borrower, each Subsidiary and each ERISA Affiliate have complied with the material requirements of Section 515 of ERISA with respect to each Pension Plan which is a Multiemployer Plan, except where the failure to so comply would not be material. The Borrower, each Subsidiary and each ERISA Affiliate has, as of the date hereof, made all contributions or payments to or under each Pension Plan required by law or the terms of such Pension Plan or any contract or agreement. No liability to the PBGC has been, or is reasonably expected by the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate to be, incurred by the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate. Liability, as referred to in this Section 4.11, includes any joint and several liability, but excludes any current or, to the extent it represents future liability in the ordinary course, any future liability for premiums under Section 4007 of ERISA. Each Employee Benefit Plan which is a group health plan within the meaning of Section 5000(b)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code is in material compliance with the continuation of health care coverage requirements of Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code and with the portability, nondiscrimination and other requirements of Sections 9801, 9802, 9803, 9811 and 9812 of the Internal Revenue Code.

SECTION 4.12 Environmental Matters

Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary (a) has received written notice or otherwise learned of any claim, demand, action, event, condition, report or investigation indicating or concerning any potential or actual liability which individually or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse effect, arising in connection with (i) any non-compliance with or violation of the requirements of any applicable federal, state or local environmental health or safety statute or regulation, or (ii) the release or threatened release of any toxic or hazardous waste, substance or constituent, or other substance into the environment, (b) to the best knowledge of the Borrower, has any threatened or actual liability in connection with the release or threatened release of any toxic or hazardous waste, substance or constituent, or other substance into the environment which individually or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse effect, (c) has received notice of any federal or state investigation evaluating whether any remedial action is needed to respond to a release or threatened release of any toxic or hazardous waste, substance or constituent or other substance into the environment for which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is or would be liable, which liability would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse effect, or (d) has received notice that the Borrower or any Subsidiary is or may be liable to any Person under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et seq., or any analogous state law, which liability would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse effect. The Borrower and each Subsidiary is in compliance with the financial responsibility requirements of federal and state environmental laws to the extent applicable, including those contained in 40 C.F.R., parts 264 and 265, subpart H, and any

-32-

analogous state law, except in those cases in which the failure so to comply would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse effect.

SECTION 4.13 Financial Statements

The Borrower has heretofore delivered to the Lenders through the Administrative Agent copies of the audited Consolidated Balance Sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of December 29, 2007, and the related Consolidated Statements of Operations, Shareholders’ Equity and Cash Flows for the fiscal year then ended. The financial statements referred to immediately above, including all related notes and schedules, are herein referred to collectively as the “Financial Statements.” The Financial Statements fairly present the Consolidated financial condition and results of the operations of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries as of the date and for the period indicated therein and, except as noted therein, have been prepared in conformity with GAAP as then in effect. Neither the Borrower nor any of the Subsidiaries has any obligation or liability of any kind (whether fixed, accrued, contingent, unmatured or otherwise) which, in accordance with GAAP as then in effect, should have been disclosed in the Financial Statements and was not. During the period from December 29, 2007 to and including August 12, 2008 there was no Material Adverse change, including as a result of any change in law or any change in the consolidated financial condition, operations, business or Property of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative 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, evaluations and decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan 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 the Borrower and the Subsidiaries. Each Lender acknowledges that a copy of this Agreement and all exhibits and schedules hereto have been made available to it and its individual counsel for review, and each Lender acknowledges that it is satisfied with the form and substance thereof. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender

-46-

with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower or the Subsidiaries which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

SECTION 10.7 The Administrative Agent in Its Individual Capacity

LCPI and each of the affiliates thereof, may make loans to, accept deposits from, issue letters of credit for the account of and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower and the Subsidiaries as though it were not the Administrative Agent. With respect to the Commitment made by it and each Note issued to it (if any), the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include LCPI in its individual capacity.

SECTION 10.8 Successor Administrative Agent

If at any time the Administrative Agent deems it advisable, in its sole discretion, it may submit to each Lender a written notification of its resignation as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, such resignation to be effective on the earlier to occur of (a) the thirtieth day after the date of such notice, and (b) the date upon which any successor to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the provisions of this Section, shall have accepted in writing its appointment as successor Administrative Agent. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Administrative Agent, which successor Administrative Agent, provided that no Default or Event of Default shall then exist, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower. If no such successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which successor Administrative Agent shall be a commercial bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon the written acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall automatically become a party to this Agreement and shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s rights, powers, privileges and duties as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents shall be terminated. The Borrower and the Lenders shall execute such documents as shall be necessary to effect such appointment. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 10 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent. If at any time there shall not be a duly appointed and acting Administrative Agent, upon notice duly given, the Borrower agrees to make each payment when due under the Loan Documents directly to the Lenders entitled thereto during such time.

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 under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under any Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges under the Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

SECTION 11.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties

SECTION 11.5 Payment of Expenses and Taxes; Indemnified Liabilities

The Borrower agrees, promptly upon presentation of a statement or invoice therefor setting forth in reasonable detail the items thereof, and whether any Loan is made, (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates for all its reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred in connection with the development, syndication, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, waiver, consent, supplement or modification to, the Loan Documents, any documents prepared in connection therewith and the consummation of the

-50-

The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the payment of the Loans and the Notes and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents.

SECTION 11.6 Lending Offices

Each Lender shall have the right at any time and from time to time to transfer any Loan to a different office of such Lender, subject to Section 3.10.

SECTION 11.7 Successors and Assigns

(a) The provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in the Loan Documents, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each Credit Party) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of any Loan Document.

(b) Any Lender may assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the applicable Loans at the time owing to it), to an Eligible Assignee, provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate or an Approved Fund of a Lender, each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent must give its prior written consent to such assignment (which

-51-

consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate or an Approved Fund of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, as the case may be, the amount of the Commitment or Loans, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and shall be for a pro rata portion of such Lender’s then remaining Commitment, if any, and such Lender’s then outstanding Loans, (iii) no assignments to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates shall be permitted (and any attempted assignment or transfer to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates shall be null and void), (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement together with, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and (v) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire, and provided further that any consent of the Borrower otherwise required under this subsection shall not be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to subsection (d) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.5, Section 3.6, Section 3.7, Section 3.10 and Section 11.10). Except as otherwise provided under clause (iii) of this subsection, any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under the Loan Documents that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of the Loan Documents as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (e) of this Section.

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent clearly demonstrable error, and the Borrower and each Credit Party may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Credit Party, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance Agreement executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the

-52-

processing and recordation fee referred to in subsection (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by subsection (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this subsection.

(e) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or any Credit Party, sell participations to Eligible Assignees (each a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitments and outstanding Loans owing to it), provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower and the Credit Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents and (iv) no participations to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates shall be permitted (and any attempted participation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates shall be null and void). Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of any Loan Documents, provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the proviso to Section 11.1 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (f) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.5, Section 3.6, Section 3.7 and Section 3.10 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.9(a) as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 11.9(b) as though it were a Lender.

(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.6, Section 3.7 or Section 3.10 than the Lender that sold the participation to such Participant would have been entitled to receive with respect to the interest in the Loan Documents subject to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.10 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.10(b) as though it were a Lender.

(g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under the Loan Documents to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest, provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

-53-

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to an Eligible SPC the option to fund all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to fund pursuant to this Agreement, provided that (i) such designation shall not be effective unless the Borrower consents thereto (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), (ii) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any Eligible SPC to fund any Loan, and (iii) if an Eligible SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to fund all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to fund such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The funding of a Loan by an Eligible SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were funded by such Granting Lender. As to any Loans or portion thereof made by it, each Eligible SPC shall have all the rights that a Lender making such Loans or portion thereof would have had under this Agreement and otherwise, provided that (x) its voting rights under this Agreement shall be exercised solely by its Granting Lender and (y) its Granting Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such Granting Lender’s obligations under this Agreement, including its obligations in respect of the Loans or portion thereof made by it. Each Granting Lender shall act as administrative agent for its Eligible SPC and give and receive notices and other communications on its behalf. Any payments for the account of any Eligible SPC shall be paid to its Granting Lender as administrative agent for such Eligible SPC and neither the Borrower nor the Administrative Agent shall be responsible for any Granting Lender’s application of such payments. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no Eligible SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or payment under this Agreement for which a Lender would otherwise be liable for so long as, and to the extent, the Granting Lender provides such indemnity or makes such payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Eligible SPC may (i) at any time, subject to payment of the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 11.7(b), assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to its Granting Lender (but nothing contained herein shall be construed in derogation of the obligation of the Granting Lender to make Loans hereunder) or to any financial institutions providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such Eligible SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans, and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancements to such Eligible SPC. This Section may not be amended without the prior written consent of each Granting Lender, all or any part of whose Loans is being funded by an Eligible SPC at the time of such amendment.

SECTION 11.8 Counterparts

Each of the Loan Documents (other than the Notes) may be executed on any number of separate counterparts and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement. It shall not be necessary in making proof of any Loan Document to produce or account for more than one counterpart signed by the party to be charged. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all of the parties hereto shall be lodged with each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Any party to a Loan Document may rely upon the signatures of any other party thereto which are transmitted by fax or other electronic means to the same extent as if originally signed.

-54-

SECTION 11.9 Set-off and Sharing of Payments

(a) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 9.1(a) or (b) or upon the acceleration of the Loans, to the extent permitted by applicable law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower, to set-off and apply against any indebtedness or other liability, whether matured or unmatured, of the Borrower to such Lender arising under the Loan Documents, any amount owing from such Lender to the Borrower. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the aforesaid right of set-off may be exercised by such Lender against the Borrower or against any trustee in bankruptcy, custodian, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of the Borrower, or against anyone else claiming through or against the Borrower or such trustee in bankruptcy, custodian, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receivers, 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 of, service upon such Lender of, or notice to such Lender of, any 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 the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after each 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.

(b) If any Lender (each a “Benefited Lender”) shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of its Loans or its Notes in excess of its pro rata share (in accordance with the outstanding principal balance of all Loans) of payments then due and payable on account of the Loans and Notes received by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase, without recourse, for cash, from the other Lenders such participations in their Loans and Notes as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment with each of them according to their pro rata share (in accordance with the outstanding principal balance of all Loans), provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and each such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery, together with an amount equal to such Lender’s pro rata share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section may exercise such rights to payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 11.10 Indemnity

(a) The Borrower shall indemnify each Credit Party and each Related Party thereof (each such Person being called an “Indemnified Person”) against, and hold each

-55-

Indemnified Person harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnified Person, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Person arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties to the Loan Documents of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or any other transactions contemplated thereby (including the Longs Acquisition), (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Person, 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 primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. Notwithstanding the above, the Borrower shall have no liability under clause (i) of this Section to indemnify or hold harmless any Indemnified Person for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses relating to income or withholding taxes or any tax in lieu of such taxes.

(b) To the extent that the Borrower fails to promptly pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under subsection (a) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the product of such unpaid amount multiplied by (i) at any time prior to the making of Loans pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or at any time when Loans are outstanding, its Pro Rata Percentage and (ii) if the Loans have been repaid in full, its Pro Rata Percentage on the last day on which such Loans were outstanding (in each case with respect to clause (ii) immediately above, determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought), provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as applicable, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such.

(c) The obligations of the Borrower and the Lenders under this Section 11.10 shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the payment or repayment of the Loans and the Notes and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnified Person, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct and actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan Document or any agreement, instrument or other document contemplated thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

c/o Lehman Commercial Paper Inc.,

as Administrative Agent

▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇

▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am general counsel of CVS Caremark Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), and have acted as such in connection with the Bridge Credit Agreement, dated as of September 12, 2008 by and among the Borrower, the Lenders party thereto, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as Syndication Agent, Bank of America, N.A., ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Bank, and Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Co-Documentation Agents, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Commercial Paper Inc., as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) (the “Bridge Credit Agreement”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Bridge Credit Agreement.

I have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments and have conducted such other investigations of fact and law as I have deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of this opinion. In rendering my opinions set forth below, I have assumed (i) the due authorization, execution and delivery by all parties thereto (other than the Borrower) of the Bridge Credit Agreement, (ii) the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals and (iii) the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to me as copies.

Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

1. The Borrower is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Borrower has all requisite corporate power and authority to own its Property and to carry on its business as now conducted.

2. The Borrower is qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which it owns or leases real property or in which the nature of its business requires it to be so qualified (except those jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or to be in good standing could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse effect).

3. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Bridge Credit Agreement and the Notes are within the Borrower’s corporate powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Borrower.

4. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Bridge Credit Agreement and the Notes do not require any action or approval on the part of the shareholders of the Borrower or any action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency or official under United States federal law or the Delaware General Corporation Law, and do not contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision of (i) United States federal law or the Delaware General Corporation Law, (ii) the Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws of the Borrower or (iii) any existing material mortgage, material indenture, material contract or material agreement, in each case binding on the Borrower or any Subsidiary or affecting the Property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary.

5. The Bridge Credit Agreement and the Notes delivered by the Borrower on or prior to the date hereof have been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and each constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the Borrower, in each case enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws from time to time in effect affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity.

6. The Borrower is not an “investment company” (as such term is defined in the United States Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended).

7. To the best of my knowledge as at August 12, 2008, there were no actions, suits, arbitration proceedings or claims (whether purportedly on behalf of the Borrower, any Subsidiary or otherwise) pending or threatened against the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective Properties, or maintained by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, at law or in equity, before any Governmental Authority which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse effect. As at August 12, 2008, to the best of my knowledge, there were no proceedings pending or threatened against the Borrower or any Subsidiary (a) which call into question the validity or enforceability of, or otherwise seek to invalidate, any Loan Document or (b) which could reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect any of the transactions contemplated by any Loan Document (it being understood that the Longs Acquisition is not a transaction contemplated by any Loan Document for the purposes of this clause (b)).

8. To the best of my knowledge, the Borrower is not in default under any agreement to which it is a party or by which it or any of its Property is bound the effect of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse effect.

9. To the best of my knowledge, no provision of any judgment, decree or order, in each case binding on the Borrower or any Subsidiary or affecting the Property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary conflicts with, or requires any consent which has not already been obtained under, or would in any way prevent the execution, delivery or performance by the Borrower of the terms of, any Loan Document.

The foregoing opinion is subject to the following qualifications:

(a) I express no opinion as to the effect (if any) of any law of any jurisdiction (except the Commonwealth of Massachusetts) in which any Lender is located which may limit the rate of interest that such Lender may charge or collect.

(b) I express no opinion as to provisions in the Bridge Credit Agreement which purport to create rights of set-off in favor of participants or which provide for set-off to be made otherwise than in accordance with applicable laws.

(c) I note that public policy considerations or court decisions may limit the rights of any party to obtain indemnification under the Bridge Credit Agreement.

I am a member of the bar of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the foregoing opinion is limited to the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the federal law of the United States of America and the Delaware General Corporation Law. For purposes of paragraph 5 of this opinion, I have assumed that, with your permission and without any research or investigation, the laws of the State of New York are identical to the law of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

This opinion is rendered solely to you in connection with the above matter. This opinion may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose or relied upon by any other person without my prior written consent, except that any person that becomes a Lender in accordance with the provisions of the Bridge Credit Agreement may rely upon this opinion as if it were specifically addressed and delivered to such person on the date hereof.

		Very truly yours,

as Administrative Agent

▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇

▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special New York counsel to CVS Caremark Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the Bridge Credit Agreement dated as of September 12, 2008 among the Company, the lenders listed on the signature pages thereof (the "Lenders"), Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., as Syndication Agent, Bank of America, N.A., ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Bank, and Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Co-Documentation Agents, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Commercial Paper Inc., as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the "Administrative Agent") (as in effect on the date hereof, the "Bridge Credit Agreement"). Capitalized terms defined in the Bridge Credit Agreement and not otherwise defined herein are used herein as therein defined.

We have reviewed an executed copy of the Bridge Credit Agreement. In addition, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments, and have conducted such other investigations of fact and law, as we have deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of this opinion. In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have assumed (i) the due authorization, execution and delivery by all parties thereto of the Bridge Credit Agreement, (ii) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and (iii) the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies.

-2-

September 12, 2008

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that (i) the Bridge Credit Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, and (ii) the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Bridge Credit Agreement (x) require no consent or other action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency or official under New York State law and (y) do not contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision of New York State law or regulation that in our experience is normally applicable to general business corporations in relation to transactions of the type contemplated by the Bridge Credit Agreement.

The foregoing opinions are subject to the following qualifications and assumptions:

(a) Our opinions are subject to the effects of applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and equitable principles of general applicability, and the enforceability of indemnification provisions may be limited by Federal or State laws or policies underlying such laws.

(b) We express no opinion as to the effect (if any) of any law of any jurisdiction (except the State of New York) in which any Lender is located that may limit the rate of interest that such Lender may charge or collect.

(c) We express no opinion as to the effect of Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any similar provisions of State law.

(d) We have assumed, with your permission and without independent investigation, that (i) the Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, (ii) the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Bridge Credit Agreement are within its corporate powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate and other action, and (iii) the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Bridge Credit Agreement (x) require no consent or other action by or in respect of, or filing with, any governmental body, agency or official under United States federal law or the Delaware General Corporation Law and (y) do not contravene, or constitute a default under, any provision of (a) United States federal law or regulation or the Delaware General Corporation Law or any order, injunction, decree, agreement, contract or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or (b) the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company.

(e) We express no opinion as to whether a United States federal court would have subject-matter or personal jurisdiction over a controversy arising under the Bridge Credit Agreement.

-3-

September 12, 2008

(f) We express no opinion as to United States federal or any state securities laws.

(g) As to various provisions of the Bridge Credit Agreement that grant to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders certain rights to make determinations or take actions in their discretion, we assume that such discretion will be exercised in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner.

We are members of the bar of the State of New York and the foregoing opinion is limited to the laws of the State of New York.

This opinion is rendered solely to you in connection with the above matter. This opinion may not be relied upon by you for any other purpose or relied upon by any other person (other than an assignee permitted under Section 11.7 of the Bridge Credit Agreement) without our prior written consent.
