LETTERS OF CREDIT

2.1. Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(a) Letters of Credit. During the Commitment Period, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Bank agrees to issue standby letters of credit for the account of Borrower (it being understood that any Letter of Credit may be for the benefit of any Subsidiary of Borrower, it being understood that Borrower shall be obligated hereunder in respect of any such Letter of Credit and that Borrower shall still execute the Letter of Credit Application for any such Letter of Credit that is for the benefit of such a Subsidiary) and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it; provided that:

(i) each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars;

(ii) after giving effect to such issuance, in no event shall the Letter of Credit Usage exceed the Commitments then in effect;

(iii) in no event shall any Letter of Credit have an expiration date later than the earlier of (1) 5 Business Days prior to the Maturity Date and (2) unless otherwise agreed by the Issuing Bank, the date which is twelve months from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit; and

(iv) the Issuing Bank shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the Issuing Bank in good ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ material to it; or

(B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally;

-11-

(v) the Issuing Bank shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the Issuing Bank would not be permitted at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof;

(vi) the Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the Issuing Bank would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit; and

(vii) in no event shall any Letter of Credit, by its terms or the terms of any document related thereto, provide for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof.

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of Borrower delivered to the Issuing Bank in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the Issuing Bank not later than 12:00 p.m. at least two Business Days (or such other date and time as the Issuing Bank may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the Issuing Bank may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the Issuing Bank may reasonably require. Additionally, Borrower shall furnish to the Issuing Bank such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Letter of Credit Application or any other document, agreement and instrument, as the Issuing Bank may reasonably require.

(ii) Unless one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Issuing Bank shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the Issuing Bank’s usual and customary business practices.

(iii) If Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a standby letter of credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such standby letter of credit) by giving

-12-

prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such standby letter of credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the Issuing Bank, Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the Issuing Bank for any such extension.

(c) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Bank will also deliver to Borrower a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment

(d) Responsibility of the Issuing Bank With Respect to Requests for Drawings and Payments. In determining whether to honor any drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Bank shall be responsible only to examine the documents delivered under such Letter of Credit with reasonable care so as to ascertain whether they appear on their face to be in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. As between Borrower and the Issuing Bank, Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, by the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with a Letter of Credit Application, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank, including any Governmental Acts; none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of the Issuing Bank’s rights or powers hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing and in furtherance thereof, any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not give rise to any liability on the part of the Issuing Bank to Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.1(d), Borrower may have a claim against the Issuing Bank, and the Issuing Bank may be liable to Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential, special or punitive damages suffered by Borrower which are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision to result from the Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(e) Reimbursement by Borrower of Amounts Drawn or Paid Under Letters of Credit. In the event the Issuing Bank has determined to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit, it shall promptly notify Borrower, and Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank on the Business Day on which such drawing is honored (provided, that if such notice is provided by the Issuing Bank after 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of such drawing, Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank on or before the Business Day immediately following the date on which such drawing is honored) in an amount in Dollars and in same day funds equal to the amount of such honored drawing. If any drawings under such Letter of Credit are not reimbursed by Borrower as provided in the preceding sentence, the Issuing Bank will withdraw an amount equal to the drawing from the Cash Collateral Account. The Issuing Bank may also withdraw funds from the Cash Collateral Account if any fee payable under Section 2.5 is not paid when due. Borrower’s obligations with respect to the payment required to be made pursuant to this clause (e)

-13-

shall be fully satisfied for all purposes hereunder and under other Credit Documents to the extent that funds from the Cash Collateral Account are applied to such drawing, which application shall be made by the Issuing Bank promptly following (and, in any event, as applicable, on the same Business Day as or the next Business Day following) any such withdrawal from the Cash Collateral Account described in the preceding sentence; provided, that Borrower shall remain liable to the extent of any deficiency.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Bank for drawings honored under the Letters of Credit issued by it shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms hereof under all circumstances including any of the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit; (ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Issuing Bank, or any other Person whether in connection herewith, the Transactions or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured); (iii) any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iv) payment by the Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document which does not substantially comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (v) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; (vi) any breach hereof or any other Credit Document by any party thereto; (vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; or (viii) the fact that an Event of Default or a Default shall have occurred and be continuing; provided, in each case, that payment by the Issuing Bank under the applicable Letter of Credit shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank under the circumstances in question. Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, Borrower will promptly notify the Issuing Bank. Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the Issuing Bank and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(g) Indemnification. Without duplication of any obligation of Borrower under Section 8.4 or 8.5, in addition to amounts payable as provided herein, Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Issuing Bank from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel) which the Issuing Bank may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit to Borrower by the Issuing Bank, other than as a result of (1) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank or (2) the wrongful dishonor by the Issuing Bank of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit issued by it, or (ii) the failure of the Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under any such Letter of Credit as a result of any Governmental Act.

(h) Existing Letters of Credit and Restatement Date Letters of Credit. All letters of credit outstanding under the Original Letter of Credit Facility immediately prior to the Restatement Date shall continue under this Agreement as Letters of Credit. All Restatement Date Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto as of the Restatement Date, and from and after the Restatement Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions set forth herein.

2.2. Applicability of ISP (b). Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Issuing Bank and Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit.

-14-

2.3. Use of Credit Extension. Borrower represents and warrants that each Credit Extension shall be in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business. No Credit Extension shall be used in any manner that causes or might cause such Credit Extension to violate Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X of the Board of Governors or any other regulation thereof or to violate the Exchange Act.

2.4. Default Interest. If any fee or other amount payable by Borrower hereunder is not paid when due and not fully reimbursed through a withdrawal from the Cash Collateral Account as provided in Section 2.1(e), whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment (and including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable bankruptcy laws whether allowed or allowable therein) payable on demand, at a rate equal to Base Rate plus 2% per annum. Payment or acceptance of the default interest provided for in this Section 2.4 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank. Interest payable pursuant to this Section shall be computed on the basis of a 365/366-day year for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues, and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand is made, on the date on which the related drawing under a Letter of Credit is reimbursed in full.

2.5. Fees.

(a) Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuing Bank:

(i) Unused line fees equal to (A) the average of the daily difference between (1) the total Commitments and (2) the Letter of Credit Usage, times (B) 0.25% per annum; and

(ii) letter of credit fees equal to (A) 1.75% per annum, times (B) the average aggregate daily Letter of Credit Usage (regardless of whether any conditions for drawing could then be met and determined as of the close of business on any date of determination).

All accrued and unpaid fees under the Original Letter of Credit Facility immediately prior to the Restatement Date shall continue hereunder and shall be payable on the first payment date following the Restatement Date described below. All fees referred to in this Section 2.5(a) shall be paid to the Issuing Bank at its Principal Office. All fees referred to in Section 2.5(a) shall be due and payable on the tenth Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Maturity Date and thereafter on demand, and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, while any Event of Default exists, all such fees shall accrue at the Default Rate as provided in Section 2.4 hereof on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.

(b) Borrower agrees to pay directly to the Issuing Bank, for its own account, such documentary and processing charges for any issuance, amendment, transfer or payment of a Letter of Credit as are in accordance with the Issuing Bank’s standard schedule for such charges and as in effect at the time of such issuance, amendment, transfer or payment, as the case may be.

2.6. Grant of Security Interest; Cash Collateral Accounts.

(a) As collateral security for the payment and performance in full of all the Obligations, Borrower hereby pledges and grants to the Issuing Bank a first priority lien on and security interest in all of the right, title and interest of Borrower in, to and under the following property, wherever located, and whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired from time to time (collectively, the “Collateral”):

(c) Borrower agrees and acknowledges that Cash Collateral shall not be subject to withdrawal from the Cash Collateral Account for any purpose whatsoever (other than to reimburse the Issuing Bank for drawings under a Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.1(e), to pay interest and fees payable hereunder or to satisfy other Obligations in accordance with Section 7.3(b), or by Bank of America as deposit bank to pay its customary fees and charges in respect of the Cash Collateral Account) and shall not otherwise be available to Borrower or any Affiliate, except upon the payment in full of all Obligations, termination of all Commitments and the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit.

(d) So long as no Default exists, any interest accruing on Cash Collateral shall be paid to Borrower at intervals to be agreed between the Issuing Bank and Borrower.

(e) Upon the payment in full of all Obligations, the cancellation or termination of the Commitments and the termination or expiration of all outstanding Letters of Credit, (i) the security interest granted hereby shall automatically terminate hereunder and of record and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Borrower, and (ii) upon any such termination, the Issuing Bank shall, at Borrower’s expense, promptly execute and deliver to Borrower or otherwise authorize the filing of such documents as Borrower shall reasonably request, including financing statement amendments to evidence such termination; provided, however, that the security interests granted hereby shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if, at any time, payment or any part thereof of any of the Obligations is rescinded, avoided, disgorged, or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Issuing Bank upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Borrower or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, Borrower or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

2.7. Commitment Reductions.

(a) Borrower may, upon not less than three Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice confirmed in writing to the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part, without premium or penalty, the Commitments in an amount up to the amount by which the Commitments exceed the Letter of Credit Usage at the time of such proposed termination or reduction; provided, any such partial reduction of the Commitments shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount.

(b) Borrower’s notice to the Issuing Bank shall designate the date (which shall be a Business Day) of such termination or reduction and the amount of any partial reduction, and such termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be effective on the date specified in Borrower’s notice.

-16-

2.8. General Provisions Regarding Payments.

(a) Except as set forth herein, all payments by Borrower of interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made in Dollars in same day funds, without defense, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to the Issuing Bank not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date due at the Principal Office designated by the Issuing Bank; for purposes of computing interest and fees, funds received by the Issuing Bank after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by Borrower on the next succeeding Business Day.

(b) Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest or fees hereunder.

(c) The Issuing Bank shall deem any payment by or on behalf of Borrower hereunder that is not made in same day funds prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) to be a non-conforming payment. Any such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by the Issuing Bank until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds, and (ii) the applicable next Business Day. The Issuing Bank shall give prompt telephonic notice to Borrower if any payment is non-conforming. Any payment not conformed according to the following sentence and not fully reimbursed through a withdrawal from a Cash Collateral Account as provided in Section 2.1(e) may constitute or become a Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Section 7.1(a). Interest shall continue to accrue on any principal as to which a non-conforming payment is made until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than the period from the date of such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the rate determined pursuant to Section 2.4 from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full (or reimbursed through a withdrawal from the Cash Collateral Account as provided in Section 2.1(e)).

2.9. Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by the Issuing Bank;

(ii) subject the Issuing Bank to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Letter of Credit, or change the basis of Taxation of payments to the Issuing Bank in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes indemnifiable under Section 2.10 or any Excluded Tax); or

(iii) impose on the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or any Letter of Credit;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Issuing Bank of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Issuing Bank hereunder then, upon request of the Issuing Bank and delivery of the certificate contemplated by Section 2.09(c), Borrower will pay to the Issuing Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Issuing Bank, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

-17-

(b) Capital Requirements. If the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting the Issuing Bank or any lending office of the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has had the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments or the Letters of Credit to a level below that which the Issuing Bank or such the Issuing Bank‘s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time upon the request of the Issuing Bank and the delivery of the certificate contemplated by Section 2.09(c), Borrower will pay to the Issuing Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Issuing Bank for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of the Issuing Bank specifying the Change in Law and setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Issuing Bank and the method for calculating such amount or amounts as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 2.09 delivered to Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrowers shall pay the Issuing Bank the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation.

2.10. Taxes; Withholding, etc.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by Borrower hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall (except to the extent required by applicable law) be made free and clear, of and without reduction or withholding for, any Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of such payments, then (i) if the Tax in question is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions have been made (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.10) the Issuing Bank receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with law.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify the Issuing Bank, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.10) paid by the Issuing Bank, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other 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 Borrower by the Issuing Bank shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority, Borrower shall deliver to the Issuing Bank 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 Issuing Bank.

-18-

(d) Status of Lenders. The Issuing Bank shall deliver to Borrower, at the time or times prescribed by law or reasonably requested by Borrower, duly completed copies of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form), certifying that the Issuing Bank is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding.

(e) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If and to the extent the Issuing Bank determines in its sole discretion exercised in good faith that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which it has received amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10, it shall pay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, under this Section 2.10 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of the Issuing Bank, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that Borrower, upon the request of the Issuing Bank, agree to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Issuing Bank in the event that the Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Issuing Bank to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

(on an after-Tax basis) from, any and all losses, claims, causes of action, damages, liabilities, settlement payments, costs, and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by Borrower or any Affiliate or equityholder thereof arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or the administration of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, (ii) any Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of hazardous materials on or from any property owned or operated by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any environmental liability related in any way to Borrower or any of its 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, whether brought by a third party or by Borrower or any of Borrower’s directors, shareholders or creditors, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative, contributory or sole negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by Borrower against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Credit Document, if Borrower has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(e) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waive, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that the foregoing shall not limit any Borrower’s indemnity obligations to the extent special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages are included in any third party claim in connection with which such Indemnitee is entitled to receive indemnification hereunder. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(f) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable on demand (accompanied by back-up documentation to the extent available).

(g) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the Issuing Bank, the assignment of the Commitments by the Issuing Bank, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

8.6. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of Borrower is made to the Issuing Bank, or the Issuing Bank exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Issuing Bank in its

-30-

discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred.

8.7. Successors and Assigns.

(a) Generally. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and assigns. None of Borrower’s rights or obligations hereunder, nor any interest therein, may be assigned or delegated by Borrower without the prior written consent of the Issuing Bank. Nothing in this Agreement, 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, Affiliates of each of them) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Certain Other Assignments. In addition to any other assignment permitted pursuant to this Section 8.7, the Issuing Bank may assign and/or pledge all or any portion of its Obligations owed by or to it to secure obligations of the Issuing Bank including, without limitation, any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; provided, the Issuing Bank, as between Borrower and the Issuing Bank, shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge, and provided, further, in no event shall the applicable Federal Reserve Bank, pledgee or trustee be considered to be the Issuing Bank or be entitled to require the Issuing Bank to take or omit to take any action hereunder.

8.8. Treatment of Confidential Information

The Issuing Bank agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates, and to its and their respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, funding sources, attorneys, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Credit Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Issuing Bank or any of its Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Borrower (only if the Issuing Bank has no knowledge that such source itself is not in breach of a confidentiality obligation).

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof relating to Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Issuing Bank on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (provided that if such information is furnished by a source known to the Issuing Bank to be subject to a confidentiality obligation, such source, to the

-31-

knowledge of the Issuing Bank, is not in violation of such obligation by such disclosure), provided that, in the case of information received from Borrower or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

The Issuing Bank acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with Law, including Federal and state securities Laws

8.9. Right of Set-Off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or if the Issuing Bank shall have been served with a trustee process or similar attachment relating to property of Borrower, the Issuing Bank and its Affiliates are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time to the fullest extent permitted by Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) or other property at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by the Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any and all of the Obligations now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Credit Document to the Issuing Bank, regardless of the adequacy of the Collateral, and irrespective of whether or not the Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Credit Document and although such obligations of Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of the Issuing Bank different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of the Issuing Bank and its respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff or recoupment) that such the Issuing Bank or its respective Affiliates may have, and nothing set forth herein shall in any way alter, limit or modify any such rights of setoff or recoupments or any defense to any claims. The Issuing Bank agrees to notify Borrower promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

8.10. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Issuing Bank and when the Issuing Bank shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy, pdf or other electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

8.11. Survival. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Credit Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Issuing Bank, regardless of any investigation made by the Issuing Bank or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Letter of Credit or any other Obligation hereunder (other than contingent indemnity obligations for which claims have not been made) shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding. Further, the provisions of Sections 2.9, 2.10, 8.4 and 8.5 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the repayment of the Obligations, the expiration or termination

-32-

of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. In connection with the termination of this Agreement and the release and termination of the security interests in the Collateral, the Issuing Bank may require such indemnities and collateral security as they shall reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to protect the Issuing Bank against (x) loss on account of credits previously applied to the Obligations that may subsequently be reversed or revoked, and (y) any Obligations that may thereafter arise under Section 8.5 hereof.

8.12. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
