(b)                     Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any telephonic notice of any Borrowing or prepayment of Loans, the Administrative Agent may act without liability upon the basis of telephonic notice of such Borrowing or prepayment, as the case may be, believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower, prior to receipt of written confirmation.  In each such case, the Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice of the Borrowing or prepayment of Loans, as the case may be, absent manifest error.

2.04                        Disbursement of Funds.  No later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, each Lender will make available its pro rata portion (determined in accordance with Section 2.07) of the Borrowing requested to be made on such date.  All such amounts will be made available in Dollars and in immediately available funds at the Payment Office, and the Administrative Agent will make available to the Borrower at the Payment Office, or to such other account or accounts as the Borrower may specify in writing to the Administrative Agent, the aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Lenders.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the date of any such Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of the Borrowing to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on the date of any such Borrowing and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.  If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender.  If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall repay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent within three Business Days.  The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to recover on demand from such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower until the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if recovered from such Lender, the overnight Federal Funds Effective Rate for the first three days and at the interest rate otherwise applicable to such Loans for each day thereafter and (ii) if recovered from the Borrower, the rate of interest applicable to the respective Borrowing, as determined pursuant to Section 2.08.  Nothing in this Section 2.04 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make

45

Loans hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any failure by such Lender to make Loans hereunder.

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 Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.15 and shall, if requested by such Lender, 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 Lender will note on its internal records the amount of each Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof and prior to any transfer of any of its Notes will endorse on the reverse side thereof the outstanding principal amount of Loans evidenced thereby.  Failure to make any such notation or any error in such notation shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations in respect of such Loans.

(c)                      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, obtain, maintain or produce a Note evidencing its Loans to the Borrower shall affect, or in any manner impair, the obligations of the Borrower to repay 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 any Credit Document.  At any time when any Lender requests the delivery of a Note to evidence any of its Loans, the Borrower shall reasonably promptly execute and deliver to the respective Lender the requested Note in the appropriate amount or amounts to evidence such Loans.

2.06                        Conversions and Continuations.  The Borrower shall have the option, on any Business Day, to convert all or a portion equal to at least the Minimum Borrowing Amount of the outstanding principal amount of Loans made pursuant to one or more Borrowings of one or more Types of Loans into a Borrowing of another Type of Loan or to continue all or any portion equal to at least the Minimum Borrowing Amount of any outstanding LIBOR Loans as the same Type of Loan; provided that, (a) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.10(b), LIBOR Loans may be converted into Base Rate Loans only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the Loans being converted and no such partial conversion of LIBOR Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of such LIBOR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, (b) Base Rate Loans may not be converted into LIBOR Loans and LIBOR Loans may not be continued as such if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the conversion or continuation, as applicable, and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversion or continuation, and (c) no conversion or continuation pursuant to this Section 2.06 shall result in a greater number of Borrowings of LIBOR Loans than is permitted under Section 2.02.  Each such conversion or continuation shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) at least (i) in the case of conversions of Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans or continuations of LIBOR Loans, three Business Days’ prior notice and (ii) in the case of conversions of LIBOR Loans into Base Rate Loans, one Business Day’s prior notice (each, a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”), in each case in the form of Exhibit A-2, appropriately completed to specify the Loans to be so converted or continued, the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Loans were incurred and, if to be converted into LIBOR Loans or continued as such, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto after giving effect to such election.  The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of any such proposed conversion or continuation affecting any of its Loans.

46

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 in respect of the applicable Class.  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 Base Rate Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan pursuant to Section 2.06 or 2.09, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin plus the Base Rate, each as in effect from time to time.

(b)                     The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Loan from the date of Borrowing thereof until the earlier of (i) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (ii) the conversion of such LIBOR Loan to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.09 or 2.10, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the relevant Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time during such Interest Period plus the LIBO Rate.

(c)                      Overdue amounts (i) of principal and interest on any Loan shall bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable bankruptcy laws), to the extent permitted by law, at a rate per annum equal to the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate then borne by such Loan, in the case of principal, and, in the case of interest, the rate then borne by the applicable Loan to which such interest relates and (ii) constituting other amounts payable hereunder and under any other Credit Document shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate which is 2% in excess of the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans from time to time.  Interest that accrues under this Section 2.08(c) shall be payable on demand.

(d)                     Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan, (A) quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, (B) on the date of any repayment or prepayment in full of all outstanding Base Rate Loans, and (C) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand, and (ii) in respect of each LIBOR Loan, (A) on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of an Interest Period in excess of three months, on each date occurring at three month intervals after the first day of such Interest Period, and (B) on the date of any repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or prepaid), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.

(e)                      Upon each Interest Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the LIBO Rate for each Interest Period applicable to the respective LIBOR Loans 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.

2.09                        Interest Periods.  At the time the Borrower gives the Notice of Borrowing or any Notice of Conversion/Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into, any LIBOR Loan (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or prior to 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Loan (in the case of any subsequent Interest Period), the Borrower shall have the right to elect the interest period (each, an “Interest Period”) applicable to such LIBOR Loan, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower, be (x) a one, two, three or six month period, or to the extent agreed to by all Lenders with Loans under the relevant Class, a twelve month period or (y) if agreed by each Lender with Loans under the relevant Class, such other period not to exceed one-month; provided that (in each case):

47

(a)                     [Reserved];

(b)                     the initial Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan shall commence on the date of Borrowing of such LIBOR Loan (including the date of any conversion thereto from a Base Rate Loan) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such LIBOR Loan shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period applicable thereto expires;

(c)                      if any Interest Period for a LIBOR 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;

(d)                     if any Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, however, that if any Interest Period for a LIBOR 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 next preceding Business Day;

(e)                      no Interest Period may be selected at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit conversion to a LIBOR Loan or a continuation as a LIBOR Loan; and

(f)                       no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of any Class of Loans shall be selected which extends beyond the Maturity Date for such Class of Loans.

If by 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect a new Interest Period to be applicable to such LIBOR Loans as provided above, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert or continue, as applicable, such LIBOR Loans as LIBOR Loans with an Interest Period of one month. If any Event of Default is in existence at the time of any proposed continuation of any LIBOR Loans and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuation, such LIBOR Loans shall be automatically converted on the last day of the current Interest Period into Base Rate Loans.

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 London interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of LIBO 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 LIBOR Loan because of any change since the Effective Date (or the date such Lender became a Lender hereunder, if later) 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: (1) a change in official reserve requirements, but, in all events, excluding reserves required under Regulation D to the extent included in the computation

48

of the LIBO Rate, or (2) any change subjecting any Recipient to any Taxes (except for Excluded Taxes and any Indemnified Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii)                   at any time, that the making or continuance of any LIBOR Loan has been made (A) unlawful by any law or governmental rule, regulation or order, (B) impossible by compliance by any Lender in good faith with any request from a Governmental Authority (whether or not having force of law) or (C) impracticable as a result of a contingency, other than with respect to a tax matter not otherwise provided for in this Section 2.10, occurring after the Effective Date or since the date such Person becomes a Lender, if later, which materially and adversely affects the London interbank market generally;

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 promptly 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 (x) in the case of clause (i) above, LIBOR Loans shall not be available until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and the Notice of Borrowing or any Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by the Borrower with respect to LIBOR Loans which have not yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender, within 10 Business Days after written demand by such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such increased cost or reduction, such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction 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, and stating that such Lender is charging such costs to its borrowers generally pursuant to its internal policies submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrower shall take one of the actions specified in Section 2.10(b) as promptly as reasonably possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

(b)                     At any time that any LIBOR Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii), the Borrower may, and in the case of a LIBOR Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(iii), the Borrower shall, either (i) if the affected LIBOR Loan is then being made initially or pursuant to a conversion, cancel such Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) on the same date that the Borrower was notified by the affected Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii) or (ii) if the affected LIBOR Loan is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert such LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan; provided that, if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section 2.10(b).

(c)                      If any Lender determines that after the Effective Date (or the date such Lender became a Lender hereunder, if later) the introduction 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 liquidity requirements, 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 or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender based on the existence of such Lender’s Commitment hereunder or its obligations hereunder, then the Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender, within 10 Business Days after written demand by such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such increased cost

49

or reduction in the rate of return, 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 or liquidity.  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; provided, further, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (x) the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder, issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III shall, in each case, be deemed to be a change after the Effective Date in a requirement of law or government rule, regulation or order, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented (including for purposes of this Section 2.10).

(d)                     Notwithstanding the foregoing, in making its determination regarding any increase described in Section 2.10(a)(ii) or Section 2.10(c), each Lender shall treat the Borrower the same as all similarly situated borrowers, as determined by such Lender in its reasonable discretion.  Each Lender agrees that it will not claim, and that it shall not be entitled to claim, from the Borrower the payment of any of the amounts referred to in this section (i) if it is not generally claiming similar compensation from its other similar customers in similar circumstances and (ii) unless the relevant introduction or change affects all banks and other financial institutions substantially similar to such Lender having regard to the size, business activities and regulatory capital of such banks and other financial institutions, but excluding differences based solely on the residency of Persons controlling such banks or other financial institutions.

(e)                      It is understood that this Section 2.10 shall not apply to Excluded Taxes or Indemnified Taxes.

(f)                       With respect to any Lender’s claim for compensation under this Section 2.10, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Lender for any amount incurred if such Lender notifies the Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim more than 180 days after such event; provided that, if the circumstance giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

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 losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its LIBOR Loans but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender sustains: (a) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of, or conversion from or into, LIBOR Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in the Notice of Borrowing or in a Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not withdrawn by the Borrower or deemed withdrawn or rescinded pursuant to Section 2.10(a)); (b) if any prepayment or repayment (including any prepayment or repayment made pursuant to Section 4.01, Section 4.02 or as a result of an acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 10) or conversion of any of its LIBOR Loans occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto; (c) if any prepayment of any of its LIBOR Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower; or (d)

50

as a consequence of (i) any other default by the Borrower to repay LIBOR Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement or any Note held by such Lender or (ii) any election made pursuant to Section 2.10(b).

2.12                        Change of Lending Office.  Each Lender agrees that on the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(c) or Section 4.04 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 right of any Lender provided in Sections 2.10 and 4.04.

2.13                        Replacement of Lenders.  (a) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (b) upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 2.10(c) or Section 4.04 with respect to any Lender which results in such Lender charging to the Borrower increased costs or (c) in the case of a refusal by a Lender to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to this Agreement which expressly requires the consent of such Lender and which has been approved by the Required Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 12.12(b), the Borrower shall have the right, in accordance with Section 12.04(b), to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other Eligible Transferees, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) and each of which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (to the extent such consent would be required under Section 12.04(b)); 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 12.04(b) (and with all fees payable pursuant to said Section 12.04(b) to be paid by the Borrower) 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 of an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the respective Replaced Lender; and

(ii)                      all obligations of the Borrower then 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, but including all amounts, if any, owing under Section 2.11 and 4.01(c)) shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement.

Upon receipt by the Replaced Lender of all amounts required to be paid to it pursuant to this Section 2.13, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled (but not obligated) and is hereby authorized to execute an Assignment and Assumption Agreement on behalf of such Replaced Lender, and any such Assignment and Assumption Agreement so executed by the Administrative Agent and the Replacement Lender shall be effective for purposes of this Section 2.13 and Section 12.04.  Upon the execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, recordation of the assignment on the Register by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 12.15 and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or 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, 4.04, 11.06, 12.01 and 12.06), which shall survive as to such Replaced Lender.

51

2.14                        Incremental Credit Extensions.  (a) The Borrower may at any time or from time to time after the Effective Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), request the establishment of one or more additional term loans, which may be of the same Class as any existing Loans or a separate Class of Loans (the “Incremental Loans”); provided that (i) (x) if the proceeds of such Indebtedness are being used to finance a Permitted Acquisition or other Investment permitted hereunder, no Event of Default under Section 10.01(a) or (e) shall have occurred and be continuing or would exist after giving effect to such Indebtedness, or (y) if otherwise, no Event of Default shall have occurred at the time of the incurrence of such Incremental Loans and be continuing or would result therefrom, (ii) no Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Loans as a result of any such request by the Borrower, and until such time, if any, as such Lender has agreed in writing in its sole discretion to provide an Incremental Loan and executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Amendment as provided below in this Section 2.14, such Lender shall not be obligated to fund any Incremental Loans, and (iii) unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each tranche of Incremental Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $10,000,000 (provided that such amount may be less than $10,000,000 if such amount represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in the next sentence).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate principal amount of the Incremental Loans shall not exceed the Maximum Incremental Facilities Amount.  Incremental Loans shall be secured by the Security Documents, and guaranteed under the Guaranty, on a pari passu basis with all other Obligations secured by the Security Documents and guaranteed under the Guaranty and shall be treated substantially the same as the existing Loans (in each case, including with respect to mandatory and voluntary prepayments); provided, however, that (i) the interest rate applicable to the Incremental Loans may differ from that applicable to the Effective Date Loans or any other tranche of Incremental Loans, but, if the Effective Yield applicable to a given tranche of Incremental Loans determined as of the initial funding date for such Incremental Loans exceeds the Effective Yield of any Effective Date Loans by more than 0.50% (the amount of such excess over 0.50% being the “Yield Differential”), the Applicable Margin for such Effective Date Loans shall automatically be increased by the Yield Differential effective upon the making of the applicable Incremental Loans, (ii) the final stated maturity date for a given tranche of Incremental Loans may be later than or the same as (but not sooner than) the Initial Maturity Date, (iii) the amortization requirements for a given tranche of Incremental Loans may differ, so long as the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Incremental Loans is no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity applicable to the then outstanding Loans (except to the extent of nominal amortization for periods where amortization has been eliminated as a result of prepayment of the applicable Loans), (iv) except as otherwise required or as permitted in clauses (i) through (iii) above, the other terms of a given tranche of Incremental Loans shall be on terms and pursuant to documentation substantially identical to the terms applicable to the Effective Date Loans or shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided that such terms may differ with respect to (x) covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the Latest Maturity Date as in effect immediately prior to the making of such Incremental Loans, (y) any financial maintenance covenant to the extent such covenant is also added for the benefit of the Lenders under any applicable existing Loans, which shall not require the consent of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and (z) the Incremental Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of Loans hereunder, as specified in the applicable Incremental Amendment, and (v) the proceeds of Incremental Loans may be utilized by Parent, Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries for general corporate purposes.

Each notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant Incremental Loans.  Incremental Loans may be made by any existing Lender or by any other bank or other financial institution (any such other bank or other financial institution being called an “Additional Lender”), provided that the Administrative Agent shall have consented to such Additional Lender’s making such Incremental Loans (to the extent such consent would

be required under Section 12.04(b)) (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  Commitments in respect of Incremental Loans shall become Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Credit Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Commitment, if any, each Additional Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent.  The Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section (including, in the case of Incremental Loans structured as a separate Class, the incorporation of class voting rights that prevent Lenders from agreeing to modifications that would allocate (or reallocate) payments to the Lenders in a non-pro rata manner unless such modifications are agreed to by a majority of the Lenders holding the Loans whose payment rights are being modified).  The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof (each, an “Incremental Facility Effective Date”) of such conditions as the parties thereto shall agree; provided that, with respect to any Incremental Loans the Net Cash Proceeds of which all or a portion thereof are to be used to fund a Permitted Acquisition or other Investment permitted hereunder notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Lenders providing such Incremental Loans so agree, the availability thereof shall be subject to customary “SunGard” or “certain funds” conditionality.  No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Loans, unless it so agrees.

(b)                     This Section 2.14 shall supersede any provisions in Sections 6, 12.06 or 12.12 to the contrary.

2.15                        Loan Repurchases.  (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth or referred to below, (x) each of (i) Sponsor and the Advance Shareholders and any of their respective Affiliates (other than Parent, Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries) (each, an “Affiliated Lender”, and collectively, the “Affiliated Lenders”) and (ii) Parent, Holdings, the Borrower, and any Subsidiary of Parent (each, an “Affiliated Borrower Lender”, and collectively, the “Affiliated Borrower Lenders”, and together with the Affiliated Lenders, the “Affiliated Persons”) may from time to time, at its discretion, conduct modified Dutch auctions in order to purchase Loans (each, a “Dutch Auction Purchase Offer”), each such Dutch Auction Purchase Offer to be managed by MSSF or another financial institution or advisor selected by the Borrower (in such capacity, the “Auction Manager”), and (y) each Affiliated Person may from time to time purchase Loans on the open market (each, an “Open Market Purchase Offer” and together with a Dutch Auction Purchase Offer, the “Purchase Offers”), so long as in each case the following conditions (to the extent applicable) are satisfied:

(i)                         each Dutch Auction Purchase Offer shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures, terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.15 and the Auction Procedures;

(ii)                      in the case of any Dutch Auction Purchase Offer or Open Market Purchase Offer by any Affiliated Borrower Lender, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of the delivery of each Auction Notice, as applicable, and at the time of purchase of any Loans in connection with any Dutch Auction Purchase Offer or Open Market Purchase Offer, as applicable;

(iii)                   each Dutch Auction Purchase Offer shall be open and offered to all Lenders (or all Lenders of a particular Class) on a pro rata basis;

(iv)                  the maximum principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of Loans that the Affiliated Non-Debt Fund Lenders offer to purchase in any such Dutch

53

Auction Purchase Offer shall be no less than $10,000,000 (unless another amount is agreed to by the Administrative Agent);

(v)                     the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Loans purchased by Parent, Holdings or the Borrower pursuant to a Purchase Offer shall automatically be cancelled and retired by Parent, Holdings or the Borrower, as applicable, on the settlement date of the relevant purchase (and may not be resold);

(vi)                  notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Affiliated Non-Debt Fund Lenders shall not be permitted to hold an aggregate principal amount of outstanding Loans that represents more than 25% of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans, calculated as of the date of such purchase (excluding any amounts subject to cancellation pursuant to clause (v) above); and

(vii)               Affiliated Persons will not be required to represent or warrant that they are not in possession of non-public information with respect to Parent, Holdings, the Borrower and/or any Subsidiary thereof and/or their respective securities in connection with any Purchase Offer permitted by this Section 2.15.

(b)                     The relevant Affiliated Person must terminate any Purchase Offer if it fails to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of purchase of Loans pursuant to such Purchase Offer.  Such Affiliated Person shall have no liability to any Lender for any termination of such Purchase Offer as a result of its failure to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of consummation of such Purchase Offer, and any such termination shall not, in and of itself, result in any Default or Event of Default hereunder. With respect to all purchases of Loans made by any Affiliated Person pursuant to this Section 2.15, (x) the applicable Affiliated Person shall pay on the settlement date of each such purchase all accrued and unpaid interest (except to the extent otherwise set forth in the relevant offering documents or assignment documents relating to such Purchase Offer), if any, on the purchased Loans up to the settlement date of such purchase, (y) such purchases (and the payments made by such Affiliated Person and any cancellation of the purchased Loans, in each case in connection therewith) shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments under Section 4.01 or Section 4.02 hereof and (z) any Affiliated Non-Debt Fund Lender may elect to forgive or cancel Loans, whether through a capital contribution to Parent or Holdings (which is, in turn, substantially concurrently, contributed to the Borrower for the purpose of immediate cancellation of such Loans) or otherwise.

(c)                      The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Purchase Offers and the other transactions effected pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.15 (provided that no Lender shall have an obligation to participate in any such Purchase Offer).  For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the provisions of Section 12.04 and Section 12.06 will not apply to the purchases of Loans pursuant to Purchase Offers made pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.15 or any forgiveness or cancellation of Loans provided for in paragraph (b) above. The Auction Manager acting in its capacity as such hereunder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of Section 11 and Section 12.02 to the same extent as if each reference therein to the “Administrative Agent” were a reference to the Auction Manager, and the Administrative Agent shall cooperate with the Auction Manager as reasonably requested by the Auction Manager in order to enable it to perform its responsibilities and duties in connection with each Purchase Offer.

(d)                     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, Parent, Holdings, the Borrower and each Affiliated Non-Debt Fund Lender

54

becoming a Lender hereby agree that (i) each Affiliated Non-Debt Fund Lender’s voting rights as a Lender in respect of the Credit Documents are limited as, and to the extent, set forth herein (including in the definition of “Required Lenders” appearing in Section 1.01); provided no amendment, modification, waiver or consent in respect of Sections 10.02 or 12.06, to the extent that such amendment, modification, waiver or consent disproportionately, directly and adversely affects such Affiliated Non-Debt Fund Lender, shall be effective without the consent of such Affiliated Non-Debt Fund Lender, (ii) each Affiliated Non-Debt Fund Lender waives its right in its capacity as a Lender to receive information (other than administrative information such as notifications under Section 2 hereof) not prepared by (or on behalf of) Parent, Holdings or Borrower from the Administrative Agent, the Security Agent or any other Lender under or in connection with the Credit Documents otherwise delivered or required to be delivered to each Lender (and not delivered to Holdings or the Borrower) and attend any meeting or conference call with the Administrative Agent, the Security Agent or any Lender in respect of the Credit Documents but in which none of Parent, Holdings nor the Borrower participates and to receive advice of counsel to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or challenge any related attorney-client privilege, (iii) at the time of each assignment to an assignee that is an Affiliated Non-Debt Fund Lender, such assignee shall identify itself as an Affiliate Lender by notifying the Administrative Agent thereof in writing, (iv) no Affiliated Non-Debt Fund Lender shall make or bring any claim, in its capacity as a Lender, against the Administrative Agent, the Security Agent or any Lender with respect to the duties and obligations of such Persons under the Credit Documents (except for gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or failure to deliver distributions (including principal and interest) to an Affiliated Non-Debt Fund Lender in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents or breach of provisions specifically impacting such Affiliated Non-Debt Fund Lender in its capacity as such under the Credit Documents), and (v) if a case under the Bankruptcy Code is commenced against any Credit Party, such Credit Party shall seek (and the Affiliated Non-Debt Fund Lenders shall consent) to provide that the vote of the Affiliated Non-Debt Fund Lenders with respect to any plan of reorganization of such Credit Party shall be counted in the same proportion as all other Lenders except that Affiliated Non-Debt Fund Lenders’ vote may be counted to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to treat the Obligations held by Affiliated Non-Debt Fund Lenders in a manner that is less favorable in any material respect to the Affiliated Non-Debt Fund Lenders than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by Lenders that are not Affiliated Non-Debt Fund Lenders or would deprive the Affiliated Non-Debt Fund Lenders of their pro rata share of any payments to which all Lenders are entitled.

2.16                        Extensions of Loans.

(a)                     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders of Loans with a like Maturity Date of the same Class, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Loans with a like Maturity Date of the same Class, as the case may be) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the maturity date of each such Lender’s Loans and otherwise modify the terms of such Loans pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including, without limitation, by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Loans (and related outstandings) and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Lender’s Loans) (each, an “Extension”, and each group of Loans, as applicable, in each case as so extended, as well as the original Loans (in each case not so extended), being a “tranche”; any Extended Loans shall constitute a separate tranche of Loans from the tranche of Loans from which they were converted), so long as the following terms are satisfied:  (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time the offering document in respect of an Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders, (ii) except as to interest rates, fees, amortization, final maturity date, premium, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to immediately succeeding clauses (iii), (iv) and (v), be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the

55

relevant Extension Offer), the Loans of any Term Lender that agrees to an Extension with respect to such Loans (an “Extending Term Lender”) extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extended Loans”) shall be substantially identical to, or (taken as a whole) not materially more favorable to the Extending Term Lenders than those applicable to the Loans subject to such Extension Offer (except for (x) covenants or other provisions applicable only to periods after the Latest Maturity Date as in effect immediately prior to the time of the Extension Offer or (y) any financial maintenance covenant to the extent such covenant is also added for the benefit of the Lenders under any applicable existing Loans), (iii) the final maturity date of any Extended Loans shall be no earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date hereunder as in effect immediately prior to the time of the Extension Offer and the Scheduled Initial Repayment for periods prior to the Initial Maturity Date may not be increased, (iv) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Class of Loans extended thereby that do not accept such Extension Offer (except to the extent of nominal amortization for periods where amortization has been eliminated as a result of prepayment of the applicable Loans), (v) any Extended Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Extension Offer, (vi) if the aggregate principal amount of Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Loans offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Loans of such Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer, (vii) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing, (viii) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower, and (ix) as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of any such Extension, the Borrower shall have re-complied with the flood insurance requirements set forth in Sections 8.03(c) and 8.12(d).

(b)                     With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 4 and (ii) no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment, provided that the Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Borrower’s sole discretion and may be waived by the Borrower) of Loans of any or all applicable tranches be tendered.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Extensions and the other transactions contemplated by this Section 2.16 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 4 and 12.06) or any other Credit Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.16.

(c)                      No consent of any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be required to effectuate any Extensions, other than the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Loans (or a portion thereof). All Extended Loans and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other applicable Obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent and Security Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents with the Borrower and any other Credit Party as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of Loans so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.16.

56

(d)                     In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least 5 Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including, without limitation, rendering timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.16.

(e)                      This Section 2.16 shall supersede any provisions in Section 12.06 or 12.12 to the contrary.

2.17                        Refinancing Amendments.

(a)                     At any time after the Effective Date, the Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any Additional Lender, Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of all or any portion of the Loans then outstanding under this Agreement (which for purposes of this clause (a) will be deemed to include any then outstanding Other Loans, Other Loan Commitments and Incremental Loans), in the form of Other Loans or Other Loan Commitments under this Agreement pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment.  The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 6 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of customary legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements.  Each Class of Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred under this Section 2.17 shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (x) not less than $25,000,000 and (y) an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (unless such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness is incurred to refinance all outstanding Loans with respect to a Class).

(b)                     The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment.  Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Other Loans and/or Other Loan Commitments).  Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment.  Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Other Loans and/or Other Loan Commitments).  Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to reflect the provisions of this Section.

(c)                      This Section 2.17 shall supersede any provisions in Section 12.06 or 12.12 to the contrary.

57

SECTION 3.                            Fees; Reductions of Commitment.

3.01                        Fees.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such fees as may have been, or are hereafter, agreed to in writing from time to time by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and the Administrative Agent.

3.02                        Mandatory Reduction of Commitments.  The Initial Loan Commitments (and the Initial Loan Commitment of each Lender) shall terminate permanently in its entirety on the Effective Date (after giving effect to the incurrence of Loans on such date).

SECTION 4.                            Prepayments; Payments; Taxes.

4.01                        Voluntary Prepayments.  (a) The Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loans, without premium or penalty (except as provided below in Section 4.01(c)), in whole or in part at any time and from time to time on the following terms and conditions: (i) the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent prior to 1:00 PM (New York City time) at the Notice Office (A) at least one Business Day’s prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to prepay Base Rate Loans and (B) at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to prepay LIBOR Loans, which notice (in each case) shall specify the amount of such prepayment and the Types of Loans to be prepaid and, in the case of LIBOR Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such LIBOR Loans were made, and which notice the Administrative Agent shall, promptly transmit to each of the Lenders; (ii) each partial prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 4.01(a) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as constitutes a single Borrowing or is otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent); provided that if any partial prepayment of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to any Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, then such Borrowing may not be continued as a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans (and same shall automatically be converted into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans) and any election of an Interest Period with respect thereto given by the Borrower shall have no force or effect; (iii) each prepayment pursuant to this Section 4.01(a) in respect of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Loans; and (iv) each prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 4.01(a) shall be applied to reduce the then remaining Scheduled Initial Repayments as directed by the Borrower or, absent such direction, in direct order of maturity thereof.  A notice of optional prepayment may state that such notice is conditional upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the receipt of the proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness or the occurrence of some other identifiable event or condition, in which case such notice of prepayment may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date of prepayment) if such condition is not satisfied.

(b)                     In the event 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 as (and to the extent) provided in Section 12.12(b), the Borrower may, upon at least three Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), repay all Loans of such Lender, together with accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts then owing to such Lender (including all amounts, if any, owing pursuant to Section 2.11) and terminate all Commitments of such Lender in accordance with, and subject to the requirements of Section 12.12(b), so long as the consents, if any, required by Section 12.12(b) in connection with the repayment pursuant to this clause (b) shall have been obtained.  Each prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 4.01(b) shall reduce the then remaining Scheduled Initial Repayments in a manner determined at the discretion of the Borrower and specified in the notice of prepayment (and absent such direction, in direct order of maturity).

58

(c)                      If, prior to the six-month anniversary of the Effective Date, in connection with any Repricing Transaction, (x) the Borrower makes any prepayment of Effective Date Loans with the proceeds of any secured term loan Indebtedness referred to in clause (x) of the definition of “Repricing Transaction”, or (y) the Borrower effects any amendment of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction referred to in clause (y) of the definition of “Repricing Transaction”, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each applicable Lender, (I) in the case of clause (x), a prepayment premium of 1% of the aggregate principal amount of the Effective Date Loans being prepaid and (II) in the case of clause (y), a payment equal to 1% of the aggregate principal amount of the Effective Date Loans subject to such Repricing Transaction.

4.02                        Mandatory Repayments. (a) In addition to any other mandatory repayments required pursuant to this Section 4.02, on each date set forth below (each, a “Scheduled Initial Repayment Date”), the Borrower shall be required to repay that principal amount of the Effective Date Loans, to the extent then outstanding, as is set forth opposite each such date below (each such repayment, as the same may be reduced as provided in Section 4.01(a), 4.01(b) or 4.02(g), a “Scheduled Initial Repayment”):

(b)                     [Reserved].

59

(c)                      In addition to any other mandatory repayments required pursuant to this Section 4.02, within five Business Days after each date on or after the Effective Date upon which Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries receives any cash proceeds from any issuance or incurrence by Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 9.04), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of the respective issuance or incurrence of Indebtedness shall be applied on such date as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 4.02(g) and (h).

(d)                     In addition to any other mandatory repayments required pursuant to this Section 4.02, within five Business Days after each date on or after the Effective Date upon which Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries receives any Net Sale Proceeds from any Asset Sale, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Sale Proceeds therefrom shall be applied on such date as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 4.02(g) and (h); provided, however, such Net Sale Proceeds shall not be required to be so applied on such date so long as an amount equal to such Net Sale Proceeds shall be used in the business of Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, including to acquire, maintain, develop, construct, improve, upgrade or repair any asset used or useful in the business of Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or to make Permitted Acquisitions or any acquisition or Investments not prohibited by this Agreement within the Relevant Reinvestment Period, and provided, further, that if all or any portion of such Net Sale Proceeds not required to be so applied as provided above in this Section 4.02(d) are not so reinvested within such Relevant Reinvestment Period, an amount equal to such remaining portion shall be applied within three Business Days of the last day of such Relevant Reinvestment Period as otherwise provided above in this Section 4.02(d) without regard to the preceding proviso.

(e)                      In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 4.02, within five Business Days after each date on or after the Effective Date upon which Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries receives any cash proceeds from any Recovery Event (other than Recovery Events where the Net Insurance Proceeds therefrom do not exceed $15,000,000), an amount equal to 100% of the Net Insurance Proceeds from such Recovery Event shall be applied on such date as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 4.02(g) and (h); provided, however, that such Net Insurance Proceeds shall not be required to be so applied on such date so long as an amount equal to such Net Insurance Proceeds shall be used in the business of Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, including to acquire, maintain, develop, construct, improve, upgrade or repair any asset used or useful in the business of Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or to make Permitted Acquisitions or any acquisition or Investments not prohibited by this Agreement within the Relevant Reinvestment Period, and provided, further, that if all or any portion of such Net Insurance Proceeds not required to be so applied pursuant to the preceding proviso are not so used within the Relevant Reinvestment Period, an amount equal to such remaining portion shall be applied within three Business Days of the end the last day of such Relevant Reinvestment Period as provided above in this Section 4.02(e) without regard to the immediately preceding proviso.

(f)                       In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 4.02, on each Excess Cash Payment Date, an amount equal to 50% of the Excess Cash Flow for the related Excess Cash Payment Period shall be applied as a mandatory repayment in accordance with the requirements of Sections 4.02(g) and (h); provided, however, that so long as the Total Net Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the respective Excess Cash Payment Period does not exceed (x) 3.95:1.00, the foregoing percentage shall be reduced to 25% of such Excess Cash Flow or (y) 3.45:1.00, the foregoing percentage shall be reduced to 0% of such Excess Cash Flow; provided, further, that any amount required to be applied pursuant to this Section 4.02(f) shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar by (x) the amount of any voluntary prepayments of the Loans and other term Indebtedness secured on a pari passu basis with the Loans or constituting a Permitted Refinancing of the Loans, and, to the extent accompanied by a

60

permanent reduction of the commitments under the ABL Credit Agreement, the ABL Loans, in each case made during the applicable Fiscal Year pursuant to Section 4.01 or the corresponding provisions of the ABL Credit Agreement or other relevant agreement governing the applicable Indebtedness (except to the extent made with the proceeds of long-term Indebtedness (other than revolving Indebtedness)) and (y) the amount of all payments in cash paid by Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with repurchases and purchases of Loans pursuant to Section 2.15 (except to the extent made with the proceeds of long-term Indebtedness (other than revolving Indebtedness)).

(g)                      Except with respect to Loans incurred in connection with, and as provided in, any Extension Offer, Refinancing Amendment or any Incremental Amendment (which may be prepaid on a less than pro rata basis in accordance with its terms) each amount required to be applied pursuant to Sections 4.02 (c), (d), (e) and (f) in accordance with this Section 4.02(g) shall be applied to repay the outstanding principal amount of Loans; provided, however, if as part of any Asset Sale or Recovery Event, any ABL Priority Collateral is being sold or has been damaged or taken (as the case may be), then an amount equal to the amount of the Net Sale Proceeds from such Asset Sale or the Net Insurance Proceeds from such Recovery Event (as the case may be) that is attributable to such ABL Priority Collateral shall first be applied to the outstanding ABL Loans to the extent required by the ABL Credit Agreement before any portion of an amount equal to such Net Sale Proceeds or Net Insurance Proceeds is applied as provided above in this Section 4.02(g) without regard to this proviso (and any such application to outstanding ABL Loans shall reduce the mandatory repayment required hereunder dollar-for-dollar); provided further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Indebtedness has been incurred that is secured by Liens subject to the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement, then any such prepayments referenced in clauses (d), (e) and (f) above may, at the election of the Borrower, be allocated ratably to the Loans and such Indebtedness. The amount of each principal repayment of Loans made as required by this Section 4.02(g) shall be applied to reduce the then remaining Scheduled Initial Repayments as directed by the Borrower or, absent such direction, in direct order of maturity thereof.

(h)                     With respect to each repayment of Loans required by this Section 4.02, the Borrower may designate the Types of Loans which are to be repaid and, in the case of LIBOR Loans, the specific Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such LIBOR Loans were made; provided that: (i) repayments of LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section 4.02 made on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto shall be subject to Section 2.11; (ii) if any repayment of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding LIBOR Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, such Borrowing shall be automatically converted into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans; and (iii) except for repayments made pursuant to Section 2.15, each repayment of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among the Lenders holding 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, apply such repayment, first, to Base Rate Loans and, second, if there are no Base Rate Loans outstanding at such time, to LIBOR Loans (applied first to such Borrowings as would result in the least amount owed by the Borrower under Section 2.11).

(i)                         In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 4.02, all then outstanding Loans of a respective Class shall be repaid by the Borrower in full on the Maturity Date for such Class of Loans.

(j)                        The Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory repayment of Loans required to be made pursuant to Section 4.02(c), (d), (e) or (f) at least three Business Days prior to the date of such repayment.  Each such notice shall specify the date of such repayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such repayment.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender holding Loans of

the contents of the Borrower’s repayment notice and of such Lender’s pro rata share of any repayment.  Other than in the case of any repayment of the Loans in full or with the proceeds of any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness, each Lender may reject all or a portion of its pro rata share of any mandatory repayment (such declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) of Loans required to be made pursuant to Sections 4.02(c), (d), (e) or (f) by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower no later than 5:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the Business Day after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such repayment.  Each Rejection Notice from a given Lender shall specify the principal amount of the mandatory repayment of Loans to be rejected by such Lender.  If a Lender fails to deliver such Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above or such Rejection Notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Loans to be rejected, any such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory repayment of Loans to which such Lender is otherwise entitled.  Any Declined Proceeds, subject to any repayment requirements under the ABL Credit Agreement, shall be retained by the Borrower.

(k)                     Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 4.02, (A) to the extent that any or all of the Net Sale Proceeds of any Asset Sale or the Net Insurance Proceeds of any Recovery Event by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment event pursuant to Section 4.02(d) or (e) (a “Foreign Disposition”) or Excess Cash Flow are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States, the portion of such Net Sale Proceeds, Net Insurance Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Loans at the times provided in this Section 4.02 but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States (the Borrower hereby agreeing to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Sale Proceeds, Net Insurance Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow is permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation will be promptly effected and such repatriated Net Sale Proceeds, Net Insurance Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow will be promptly (and in any event not later than ten (10) Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 4.02 to the extent provided herein and (B) to the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Sale Proceeds, Net Insurance Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition or Excess Cash Flow would have a material adverse tax cost consequence (taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit that is anticipated in connection with such repatriation) with respect to such Net Sale Proceeds, Net Insurance Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow, the Net Sale Proceeds, Net Insurance Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary until such time as it may repatriate such amount without incurring such material adverse tax consequences (at which time such amount shall be repatriated to the Borrower and promptly applied to repay the Term Loans in accordance with this Section 4.02).

4.03                        Method and Place of Payment.  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under this Agreement and under any Note shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto not later than 1:00 PM (New York City time) on the date when due and shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Payment Office.  Except as provided in Section 2.09, whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable at the applicable rate during such extension.

4.04                        Net Payments.  (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Credit Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any

62

Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b)                     The Credit Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any Other Taxes, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of any Other Tax.

(c)                      The Credit Parties shall, without duplication of Section 4.04(a) or (b) above, jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)                     Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting any obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.04 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

(e)                      As soon as reasonably practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 4.04, such Credit Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f)                       (i)                         Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the

63

Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation 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.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 4.04(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if (x) a change in treaty, law or regulation has occurred prior to the date on which such delivery would otherwise be required that renders any such form or certificate inapplicable or would prevent the Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form or certificate with respect to it and such Lender so advises Borrower and (y) in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii)                      Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A)                       any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), two executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B)                       any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i)                         in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Credit Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Credit Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(ii)                      executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(iii)                   in the case of any Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E; or

(iv)                  to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-

64

8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 or Exhibit C-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender shall provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-4 on behalf of each such partner;

(C)                       any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made;

(D)                       if a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA and any regulations promulgated thereunder after the date of this Agreement; and

(E)                        each Agent that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to any payment under this Agreement made by the Borrower to such Agent under the law of the jurisdiction in which Borrower is located shall deliver to Borrower or Administrative Agent, as applicable, on or prior to the date on which such Agent becomes an Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable), any such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as may permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding tax.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Agent that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower) on or prior to the date on which such Agent becomes an Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or Administrative Agent, as applicable) two copies of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or successor form) certifying that such Agent is exempt from United States federal backup withholding tax and such other documentation as will enable the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to determine

65

whether or not such Agent is subject to United States federal backup withholding tax or information reporting requirements.

Each Lender and Agent agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g)                      If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.04 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.04), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h)                     Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.04 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Credit Document.
