For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower.  If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any obligation in respect of Hedge Agreements applicable to such Indebtedness).  Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP.  For

18

purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed on a pro forma basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be deemed to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or, if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Borrower may designate.

Subsidiary that is or becomes a Credit Party) subsequently re-designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary by the Borrower in a written notice to the Administrative Agent; provided, that (x) such re-designation shall be deemed to be an investment on the date of such re-designation in an Unrestricted Subsidiary in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the net worth of such re-designated Restricted Subsidiary immediately prior to such re-designation (such net worth to be calculated without regard to any guarantee provided by such re-designated Restricted Subsidiary) and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of any Indebtedness owed by such re-designated Restricted Subsidiary to the Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary immediately prior to such re-designation, all calculated, except as set forth in the parenthetical to clause (i), on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP and (y) no Default or Event of Default would result from such re-designation and (c) each Subsidiary of an Unrestricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that at the time of any written re-designation by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent that any Unrestricted Subsidiary shall no longer constitute an Unrestricted Subsidiary, such Unrestricted Subsidiary shall cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary to the extent no Default or Event of Default would result from such re-designation.  On or promptly after the date of its formation, acquisition or re-designation, as applicable, each Unrestricted Subsidiary (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary that is a Foreign Subsidiary) shall have entered into a tax sharing agreement containing terms that, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, provide for an appropriate allocation of tax liabilities and benefits.

“Voting Stock” shall mean, with respect to any Person, shares of such Person’s capital stock having the right to vote for the election of directors of such Person under ordinary circumstances.

“Yield Differential” shall have the meaning given to that term in Section 2.14.

(b)  The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and Section references are to Sections of this Agreement unless otherwise specified.  The words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”.

1.2.         Exchange Rates.  (a)  Not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on each Calculation Date, the Administrative Agent shall (i) determine the Exchange Rate as of such Calculation Date with respect to each Foreign Currency to be used for calculating the Dollar Equivalent and (ii) give notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower.  The Exchange Rates so determined shall become effective on the relevant Calculation Date (a “Recalculation Date”), shall remain effective until the next succeeding Recalculation Date, and shall for all purposes of this Agreement (other than any provision expressly requiring the use of a current Exchange Rate) be the Exchange Rates employed in converting any amounts between Dollars and Foreign Currencies.

(b)  Not later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on each Recalculation Date and each date on which Foreign Currency Revolving Credit Loans are made, the

42

Administrative Agent shall (i) determine the aggregate amount of the Dollar Equivalents of (A) the principal amounts of the Foreign Currency Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding (after giving effect to any Foreign Currency Revolving Credit Loans made or repaid on such date), (B) the face value of outstanding Foreign Currency Letters of Credit and (C) Unpaid Drawings in respect of Foreign Currency Letters of Credit and (ii) notify the Lenders and the Borrower of the results of such determination.

(c)  For purposes of determining compliance under Sections 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.9, 10.10 and 10.11 with respect to any amount in a Foreign Currency, such amount shall be deemed to equal the Dollar Equivalent thereof based on the average daily Exchange Rate for such Foreign Currency for the most recent twelve-month period immediately prior to the date of determination determined in a manner consistent with that used in calculating Consolidated EBITDA for the related period.  For purposes of determining compliance with Sections 10.1 and 10.2, with respect to any amount of Indebtedness in a Foreign Currency, compliance will be determined at the time of incurrence thereof using the Dollar Equivalent thereof at the Exchange Rate in effect at the time of such incurrence.

1.3.         Redenomination of Certain Foreign Currencies.  (a)  Each obligation of any party to this Agreement to make a payment denominated in Sterling on or after the date the United Kingdom adopts the Euro as its lawful currency after the Closing Date shall be redenominated into Euro at the time of such adoption (in accordance with the EMU Legislation).  If, in relation to Sterling, the basis of accrual of interest expressed in this Agreement in respect of that currency shall be inconsistent with any convention or practice in the London Interbank Market for the basis of accrual of interest in respect of the Euro, such expressed basis shall be replaced by such convention or practice with effect from the date on which the United Kingdom adopts the Euro as its lawful currency; provided, that if any Foreign Currency Borrowing in Sterling is outstanding immediately prior to such date, such replacement shall take effect, with respect to such Foreign Currency Borrowing, at the end of the then current Interest Period.

(b)  Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of the Euro by the United Kingdom and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the Euro.

SECTION 2.         Amount and Terms of Credit

2.1.         Commitments.  (a)  Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth,

(i)  each Lender having a Tranche B Term Loan Commitment severally agrees to make a loan (each a “Tranche B Term Loan” and, collectively, the “Tranche B Term Loans”) to the Borrower on the Closing Date in Dollars, which Tranche B Term Loan shall not exceed for any such Lender such Lender’s pro rata share

43

of all Tranche B Term Loans to be made on the Closing Date (based on the percentage which such Lender’s Tranche B Term Loan Commitment represents of the Total Tranche B Term Loan Commitments of all Lenders); provided, that the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans made on the Closing Date shall not exceed $850,000,000; and

(ii)  (A) Tranche B Term Loans may be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, ABR Loans or Eurodollar Term Loans, provided that all such Tranche B Term Loans made by each of the Lenders pursuant to the same Borrowing shall, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, consist entirely of Tranche B Term Loans of the same Type, (B) may be repaid or prepaid in accordance with the provisions hereof, but once repaid or prepaid, may not be reborrowed and (C) shall not exceed in the aggregate the Total Tranche B Term Loan Commitment.  On the Tranche B Term Loan Maturity Date, all Tranche B Term Loans shall be repaid in full.

(b)  (i)  Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, each Lender having a Revolving Credit Commitment severally agrees to make a loan or loans denominated in Dollars (each a “Dollar Revolving Credit Loan” and, collectively, the “Dollar Revolving Credit Loans” and, together with the Foreign Currency Revolving Credit Loans, the “Revolving Credit Loans”) to the Borrower, which Dollar Revolving Credit Loans (A) shall be made at any time and from time to time on and after the Closing Date and prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, (B) may, at the option of the Borrower, be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, ABR Loans or Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans; provided, that all Dollar Revolving Credit Loans made by each of the Lenders pursuant to the same Borrowing shall, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, consist entirely of Dollar Revolving Credit Loans of the same Type, (C) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof, (D) shall not, for any such Lender at any time, after giving effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds thereof, result in such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure at such time exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment at such time and (E) shall not, after giving effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds thereof, result at any time in the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures at such time exceeding the Total Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect;

(ii)  Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, each Lender having a Revolving Credit Commitment severally agrees to make a loan or loans denominated in a Foreign Currency (each a “Foreign Currency Revolving Credit Loan” and, collectively, the “Foreign Currency Revolving Credit Loans”) to the Borrower, which Foreign Currency Revolving Credit Loans (A) shall be made at any time and from time to time on and after the Closing Date and prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (B) shall be incurred and maintained entirely as Eurodollar Foreign Currency Revolving Credit Loans, (C) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof, (D) shall not, for any such Lender at any time, after giving effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds thereof, result in such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure at such time exceeding such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment at such time and (E) shall not, after giving effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds thereof, result at

44

any time in the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures at such time exceeding the Total Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect;

(iii)  Each Lender may at its option make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided, that (A) any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan and (B) in exercising such option, such Lender shall use its reasonable efforts to minimize any increased costs to the Borrower resulting therefrom (which obligation of the Lender shall not require it to take, or refrain from taking, actions that it determines would result in increased costs for which it will not be compensated hereunder or that it determines would be otherwise disadvantageous to it and in the event of such request for costs for which compensation is provided under this Agreement, the provisions of Section 3.5 shall apply).  On the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, all Revolving Credit Loans shall be repaid in full.

(c)  Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Swingline Lender in its individual capacity agrees, at any time and from time to time on and after the Closing Date and prior to the Swingline Maturity Date, to make a loan or loans (each a “Swingline Loan” and, collectively, the “Swingline Loans”) to the Borrower in Dollars, which Swingline Loans (i) shall be ABR Loans, (ii) shall have the benefit of the provisions of Section 2.1(d), (iii) shall not exceed at any time outstanding the Swingline Commitment, (iv) shall not, after giving effect thereto and to the application of the proceeds thereof, result at any time in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Exposure at such time exceeding the Total Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect and (v) may be repaid and reborrowed in accordance with the provisions hereof.  On the Swingline Maturity Date, each outstanding Swingline Loan shall be repaid in full.  The Swingline Lender shall not make any Swingline Loan after receiving a written notice from the Borrower or any Lender stating that a Default or Event of Default exists and is continuing until such time as the Swingline Lender shall have received written notice of (i) rescission of all such notices from the party or parties originally delivering such notice or (ii) the waiver of such Default or Event of Default in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.1.

(d)  On any Business Day, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, give notice to the Lenders that all then-outstanding Swingline Loans shall be funded with a Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans, in which case Revolving Credit Loans constituting ABR Loans (each such Borrowing, a “Mandatory Borrowing”) shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day by all Lenders pro rata based on each Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage, as applicable, and the proceeds thereof shall be applied directly to the Swingline Lender to repay the Swingline Lender for such outstanding Swingline Loans.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make such Revolving Credit Loans upon one Business Day’s notice pursuant to each Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the date specified to it in writing by the Swingline Lender notwithstanding (i) that the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for each Borrowing specified in Section 2.2, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Section 7 are then satisfied, (iii) whether a

45

Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (iv) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing or (v) any reduction in the Total Commitment after any such Swingline Loans were made.  In the event that, in the sole judgment of the Swingline Lender, any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code in respect of the Borrower), each Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase from the Swingline Lender (without recourse or warranty) such participation of the outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause the Lenders to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages, as applicable; provided, that all principal and interest payable on such Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender until the date the respective participation is purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased participation, shall be payable to the Lender purchasing the same from and after such date of purchase.

(e)  Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the First Amendment,

(i)  each Lender having a Tranche A Term Loan Commitment severally agrees to make a loan (each a “Tranche A Term Loan” and, collectively, the “Tranche A Term Loans”) to the Borrower on the First Amendment Effective Date in Dollars, which Tranche A Term Loan shall not exceed for any such Lender such Lender’s pro rata share of all Tranche A Term Loans to be made on the First Amendment Effective Date (based on the percentage which such Lender’s Tranche A Term Loan Commitment represents of the Total Tranche A Term Loan Commitments of all Lenders); provided, that the aggregate principal amount of all Tranche A Term Loans made on the First Amendment Effective Date shall not exceed $350,000,000; and

(ii)  (A) Tranche A Term Loans may be incurred and maintained as, and/or converted into, ABR Loans or Eurodollar Term Loans, provided that all such Tranche A Term Loans made by each of the Lenders pursuant to the same Borrowing shall, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, consist entirely of Tranche A Term Loans of the same Type, (B) may be repaid or prepaid in accordance with the provisions hereof, but once repaid or prepaid, may not be reborrowed and (C) shall not exceed in the aggregate the Total Tranche A Term Loan Commitment. On the Tranche A Term Loan Maturity Date, all Tranche A Term Loans shall be repaid in full.

2.2.         Minimum Amount of Each Borrowing; Maximum Number of Borrowings.  The aggregate principal amount of each Borrowing of Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans or Swingline Loans shall be in a multiple of the Dollar Equivalent of $100,000 and shall not be less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount with respect thereto (except that Mandatory Borrowings shall be made in the amounts required by Section 2.1(d)).  More than one Borrowing may be incurred on any date; provided, that at

46

no time shall there be outstanding more than 20 Borrowings of Eurodollar Loans under this Agreement.

2.3.         Notice of Borrowing.  (a)  The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of the Borrowing of Tranche B Term Loans (i) prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) at least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date if all or any of such Tranche B Term Loans are to be initially Eurodollar Loans and (ii) prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Closing Date if all such Tranche B Term Loans are to be ABR Loans.  SuchThe Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of the Borrowing of Tranche A Term Loans (i) prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) at least three Business Days prior to the First Amendment Effective Date if all or any of such Tranche A Term Loans are to be initially Eurodollar Loans and (ii) prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the First Amendment Effective Date if all such Tranche A Term Loans are to be ABR Loans. Each such notice (together with each notice of a Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 2.3(b) and each notice of a Borrowing of Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.3(c), a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans to be made, (ii) the date of the borrowing (which shall be a Business Day and shall, in the case of Tranche B Term Loan, be the Closing Date and in the case of Tranche A Term Loan, be the First Amendment Effective Date) and (iii) whether the Term Loans shall consist of ABR Loans and/or Eurodollar Term Loans and, if the Term Loans are to include Eurodollar Term Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of the proposed Borrowing of Term Loans, of such Lender’s proportionate share thereof and of the other matters covered by the related Notice of Borrowing.

(b)  Whenever the Borrower desires to incur Revolving Credit Loans hereunder (other than Mandatory Borrowings or borrowings to repay Unpaid Drawings), it shall give the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office as specified in Section 13.2, (i) prior to 12:00 Noon (Local Time) at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Borrowing of Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans and (ii) prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) at least one Business Day’s prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Borrowing of ABR Loans; provided that for any deemed borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 2.1(b)(i) and (ii) such notice will not be required.  Each such Notice of Borrowing, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.10, shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the currency in which the Revolving Credit Loans are to be made, which shall be Dollars or a Foreign Currency, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing (which, in the case of a Foreign Currency Borrowing, shall be stated in both the applicable Foreign Currency and the Dollar Equivalent thereof), (iii) the date of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) whether the respective Borrowing shall consist of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans and, if Eurodollar Revolving Credit

47

Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto and (iv) the number and location of the account to which funds are to be disbursed.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly give each Lender written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each proposed Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans of such Lender’s proportionate share thereof and of the other matters covered by the related Notice of Borrowing.

(c)  Whenever the Borrower desires to incur Swingline Loans hereunder, it shall give the Swingline Lender written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Borrowing of Swingline Loans prior to 2:30 p.m. (New York time) on the date of such Borrowing.  Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans to be made pursuant to such Borrowing, (ii) the date of Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day) and (iii) the number and location of the account to which funds are to be disbursed.

(d)  Mandatory Borrowings shall be made upon the notice specified in Section 2.1(d), with the Borrower irrevocably agreeing, by its incurrence of any Swingline Loan, to the making of Mandatory Borrowings as set forth in such Section.

(e)  Borrowings to reimburse Unpaid Drawings shall be made upon the notice specified in Section 3.4(a).

(f)  Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any notice it may give hereunder by telephone, the Administrative Agent may act prior to receipt of written confirmation without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice believed by the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer of the Borrower.  In each such case, the Borrower waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s record of the terms of any such telephonic notice.

2.4.         Disbursement of Funds.  (a)  No later than 12:00 Noon (Local Time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing (including Mandatory Borrowings), each Lender will make available its pro rata portion, if any, of each Borrowing requested to be made on such date in the manner provided below; provided, that all Swingline Loans shall be made available in the full amount thereof by the Swingline Lender no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date requested.

(b)  Each Lender shall make available all amounts it is to fund under any Borrowing in Dollars or in the applicable Foreign Currency, as the case may be, and in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office and the Administrative Agent will (except in the case of Mandatory Borrowings and Borrowings to repay Unpaid Drawings) make available to the Borrower by depositing to the Borrower’s account that is designated to the Administrative Agent the aggregate of the amounts so made available in Dollars or in the applicable Foreign Currency, as the case may be, and the type of funds received.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the time of any such Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the

48

Administrative Agent its portion of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be made on such date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing, and the Administrative Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion and without any obligation to do so) 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 and the Administrative Agent has made available same to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount 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 immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover from such Lender or the Borrower 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 to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) if paid by such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or (ii) if paid by the Borrower, the then-applicable rate of interest, calculated in accordance with Section 2.8, for the respective Loans.

(c)  Nothing in this Section 2.4 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its commitments hereunder).

2.5.         Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.  (a)  The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, on the Tranche B Term Loan Maturity Date, the then-unpaid Tranche B Term Loans, in Dollars.  The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, on the Tranche A Term Loan Maturity Date, the then-unpaid Tranche A Term Loans, in Dollars.  The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars or the applicable Foreign Currency, as the case may be, for the benefit of the Lenders, on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the then-unpaid Revolving Credit Loans.  The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars, for the account of the Swingline Lender, on the Swingline Maturity Date, the then-unpaid Swingline Loans.

(b)  The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent, in Dollars, for the benefit of the Lenders of Tranche B Term Loans, on each date set forth below (each a “Tranche B Term Loan Repayment Date”), the principal amount of the Tranche B Term Loans equal to (x) the sum of the outstanding principal amount of Tranche B Term Loans immediately after funding on the Closing Date, multiplied by (y) the percentage set forth below opposite such Tranche B Term Loan Repayment Date (each a “Tranche B Term Loan Repayment Amount”):

49

(c)  Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to the appropriate lending office of such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such lending office of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such lending office of such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

(d)  The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 13.6(b)(iv), and a subaccount for each Lender, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the amount and currency of each Loan made hereunder, whether such Loan is a Tranche A Term Loan, a Tranche B Term Loan, a Revolving Credit Loan or a Swingline Loan, the Type of each Loan made and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender or the Swingline Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

(e)  The entries made in the Register and accounts and subaccounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 2.5 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such account, such Register or such subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(f)  The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent, in Dollars, for the benefit of the Lenders of Tranche A Term Loans, on each date set forth below (each a “Tranche A Term Loan Repayment Date”), the principal amount of the Tranche A Term Loans equal to (x) the sum of the outstanding

50

principal amount of Tranche A Term Loans immediately after funding on the First Amendment Effective Date, multiplied by (y) the percentage set forth below opposite such Tranche A Term Loan Repayment Date (each a “Tranche A Term Loan Repayment Amount”):

2.6.         Conversions and Continuations.  (a)  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 Term Loans or Dollar Revolving Credit Loans of one Type into a Borrowing or Borrowings of another Type and the Borrower shall have the option on any Business Day to continue the outstanding principal amount of any Eurodollar Term Loans or Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans as Eurodollar Term Loans or Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans, as the case may be, for an additional Interest Period; provided, that (i) no partial conversion of Eurodollar Term Loans or Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount of Eurodollar Term Loans or Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount, (ii) ABR Loans may not be converted into Eurodollar Term Loans or Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans if a Default or Event of Default is in existence on the date of the conversion and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversion, (iii) Eurodollar Loans may not be continued as Eurodollar Term Loans or Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans for an additional Interest Period if a Default or Event of Default is in existence on the date of the proposed continuation and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuation and (iv) Borrowings resulting from conversions pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be limited in number as provided in Section 2.2.  Each such conversion or continuation shall be effected by the Borrower by giving the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office prior to 12:00 Noon (Local Time) at least three Business Days’ (or one Business Day’s notice in the case of a conversion into ABR Loans) prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) (each a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) specifying the Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans to be so converted or continued, the Type of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans to be converted or continued into and, if such Term Loans or

51

Revolving Credit Loans are to be converted into or continued as Eurodollar Term Loans or Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto.  The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender notice as promptly as practicable of any such proposed conversion or continuation affecting any of its Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans.

(b)  If any Default or Event of Default is in existence at the time of any proposed continuation of any Eurodollar Term Loans or Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuation, such Eurodollar Term Loans or Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans shall be automatically converted on the last day of the then-current Interest Period (i) in respect of Term Loans or Dollar Revolving Credit Loans, into ABR Loans, and (ii) in respect of Foreign Currency Revolving Credit Loans, into Eurodollar Loans with an Interest Period of one month.  If upon the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of Eurodollar Term Loans or Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans, the Borrower has failed to elect a new Interest Period to be applicable thereto as provided in paragraph (a) above, (i) the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Dollar Borrowing of Term Loans or Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans, as the case may be, into a Borrowing of ABR Loans effective as of the expiration date of such current Interest Period and (ii) the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Foreign Currency Borrowing of Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans into a Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans with an Interest Period of one month effective as of the expiration date of such then-current Interest Period.

2.7.         Pro Rata Borrowings.  Each Borrowing of Term Loans under this Agreement shall be granted by the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their then-applicable Tranche B Term Loan Commitments or Tranche A Term Loan Commitments, as applicable.  Each Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans under this Agreement shall be granted by the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their then-applicable Revolving Credit Commitments.  It is understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in 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 fulfill its commitments hereunder.

2.8.         Interest.  (a)  The unpaid principal amount of each ABR Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the Applicable ABR Margin plus the ABR in effect from time to time.

(b)  The unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Term Loan or Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loan shall bear interest from the date of the Borrowing thereof until maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the Applicable Eurodollar Margin in effect from time to time plus the relevant Eurodollar Rate plus, in the case of Foreign Currency Loans, any Additional Cost incurred by such Lender in respect of such Foreign Currency Loans from time to time.

52

(c)  If all or a portion of (i) the principal amount of any Loan or (ii) any interest payable thereon shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum that is (x) in the case of overdue principal, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto plus 2% or (y) in the case of any overdue interest, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the rate described in Section 2.8(a) plus 2% from and including the date of such non-payment to but excluding the date on which such amount is paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

(d)  Interest on each Loan shall accrue from and including the date of any Borrowing to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof and shall be payable (i) in respect of each ABR Loan, quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, (ii) in respect of each Eurodollar Term Loan or Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loan, 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 Business Day of such Interest Period, (iii) in respect of each Loan (except, other than in the case of prepayments, any ABR Loan), on any prepayment (on the amount prepaid), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.

(e)  All computations of interest hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 5.5.

(f)  The Administrative Agent, upon determining the interest rate for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans, shall promptly notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders thereof.  Each such determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

2.9.         Interest Periods.  At the time the Borrower gives a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into or continuation as, a Borrowing of Eurodollar Term Loans or Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or prior to 10:00 a.m. (Local Time) on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of Eurodollar Term Loans or Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans, the Borrower shall have the right to elect by giving the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) the Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower, be a one, two, three, six or (if available to all the Lenders making such loans as determined by such Lenders in good faith based on prevailing market conditions) a nine or twelve month period; provided, that the initial Interest Period may be for a period less than one month if agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above:

(a)  the initial Interest Period for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Term Loans or Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans shall commence on the date of such Borrowing (including the date of any conversion from a Borrowing of ABR Loans) and

53

each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Borrowing shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;

(b)  if any Interest Period relating to a Borrowing of Eurodollar Term Loans or Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month or 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 the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period;

(c)  if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, that if any Interest Period in respect of a Eurodollar Term Loan or Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loan would otherwise expire on a day that 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; and

(d)  the Borrower shall not be entitled to elect any Interest Period in respect of any Eurodollar Term Loan or any Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loan if such Interest Period would extend beyond the applicable Maturity Date of such Loan.

2.10.       Increased Costs, Illegality, etc.  (a)  In the event that (x) in the case of clause (i) below, the Administrative Agent or (y) in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) below, any Lender shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto):

(i)  on any date for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period that (x) deposits in the principal amounts of the Loans comprising such Eurodollar Borrowing and in the currency in which such Loan is to be denominated are not generally available in the relevant market or (y) by reason of any changes arising on or after the Closing Date, in the case of Loans other than Tranche A Term Loans, or the First Amendment Effective Date, in the case of Tranche A Term Loans, affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the definition of Eurodollar Rate; or

(ii)  at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Eurodollar Loans (other than any such increase or reduction attributable to Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 5.4 and taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Lender) because of (x) any change since the Closing Date, in the case of Loans other than Tranche A Term Loans, or the First Amendment Effective Date, in the case of Tranche A Term Loans, in any applicable law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or in the interpretation, application or administration thereof and including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order), such as, for example, without limitation, a change in official reserve requirements, and/or (y) other circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market or the position of such Lender in such market; or

54

(iii)  at any time, that the making or continuance of any Eurodollar Loan has become unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or has become impracticable as a result of a contingency occurring after the Closing Date, in the case of Loans other than Tranche A Term Loans, or the First Amendment Effective Date, in the case of Tranche A Term Loans, that materially and adversely affects the interbank Eurodollar market;

then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i) above) shall within a reasonable time thereafter give notice (if by telephone, confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and 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, Eurodollar Term Loans or Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans shall no longer 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 (which notice the Administrative Agent agrees to give at such time when such circumstances no longer exist), and any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion given by the Borrower with respect to Eurodollar Term Loans or Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans that have not yet been incurred shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrower, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, promptly after receipt of written demand therefor such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its reasonable discretion shall determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amounts receivable hereunder (it being agreed that a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall, absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all 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 possible and, in any event, within the time period required by law.

(b)  At any time that any Eurodollar Loan is affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii), the Borrower may (and in the case of a Eurodollar Loan affected pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(iii) shall) either (x) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then being made pursuant to a Borrowing, cancel said Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed promptly in writing) thereof on the same date that the Borrower was notified by a Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(a)(ii) or (iii) or (y) if the affected Eurodollar Loan is a Term Loan or a Dollar Revolving Credit Loan and is then outstanding, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, require the affected Lender to convert each such Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loan and Eurodollar Term Loan into an ABR Loan; provided, that if more than one Lender is affected at any time, then all affected Lenders must be treated in the same manner pursuant to this Section 2.10(b).

55

(c)  If, after the Closing Date, in the case of Loans other than Tranche A Term Loans, or the First Amendment Effective Date, in the case of Tranche A Term Loans, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation, application or administration thereof, or compliance by a Lender or its parent with any request or directive made or adopted after the Closing Date or the First Amendment Effective Date, as applicable, regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, association, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or its parent’s capital or assets as a consequence of such Lender’s commitments or obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or its parent could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or its parent’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, promptly after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or its parent for such reduction, it being understood and agreed, however, that a Lender shall not be entitled to such compensation as a result of such Lender’s compliance with, or pursuant to any request or directive to comply with, any such law, rule or regulation as in effect on the Closing Date or the First Amendment Effective Date, as applicable; provided that, for purposes of this Agreement (including this Section 2.10 and Section 3.5 hereto), the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, guidelines or directives in connection therewith are deemed to have gone into effect and been adopted after the Closing Date or the First Amendment Effective Date, as applicable.  Each Lender, upon determining in good faith 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 set forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, although the failure to give any such notice shall not, subject to Section 2.13, release or diminish any of the Borrower’s obligations to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) upon receipt of such notice.

(d)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of Foreign Currency Revolving Credit Loans affected by the circumstances described in Section 2.10(a)(i), as promptly as practicable but in no event later than three Business Days after the giving of the required notice by the Administrative Agent with respect to such circumstances, the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Lenders) shall negotiate with the Borrower in good faith in order to ascertain whether a substitute interest rate (a “Substitute Rate”) may be agreed upon for the maintaining of existing Foreign Currency Revolving Credit Loans.  If a Substitute Rate is agreed upon by the Borrower and all the Lenders, such Substitute Rate shall apply.  If a Substitute Rate is not so agreed upon by the Borrower and all the Lenders within such time, each Lender’s Foreign Currency Revolving Credit Loans shall thereafter bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of (i) the rate certified by such Lender to be its costs of funds (from such sources as it may reasonably select out of those sources then available to it)

56

for such Foreign Currency Revolving Credit Loans plus (ii) the Applicable Eurodollar Margin plus (iii), in the case of Foreign Currency Loans denominated in Sterling only, any Additional Cost incurred by such Lender in respect of such Sterling Foreign Currency Loans from time to time.

2.11.       Compensation.  If (a) any payment of principal of any Eurodollar Term Loan or Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loan is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loan as a result of a payment or conversion pursuant to Section 2.5, 2.6, 2.10, 5.1, 5.2 or 13.7, as a result of acceleration of the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Section 11 or for any other reason, (b) any Borrowing of Eurodollar Term Loans or Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans is not made as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Borrowing, (c) any ABR Loan is not converted into a Eurodollar Term Loan or Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loan as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Conversion or Continuation, (d) any Eurodollar Loan is not continued as a Eurodollar Term Loan or Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loan as a result of a withdrawn Notice of Conversion or Continuation or (e) any prepayment of principal of any Eurodollar Term Loan or Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loan is not made as a result of a withdrawn notice of prepayment pursuant to Section 5.1 or 5.2, the Borrower shall, after receipt of a written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that such Lender may reasonably incur as a result of such payment, failure to convert, failure to continue or failure to prepay, including any loss, cost or expense (excluding loss of anticipated profits) actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such Eurodollar Loan.

2.12.       Change of Lending Office.  Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.10(a)(ii), 2.10(a)(iii), 2.10(b), 3.5 or 5.4 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 any 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 Section 2.10, 3.5 or 5.4.

2.13.       Notice of Certain Costs.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any notice required by Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.5 or 5.4 is given by any Lender more than 180 days after such Lender has knowledge (or should have had knowledge) of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the additional cost, reduction in amounts, loss, tax or other additional amounts described in such Sections, such Lender shall not be entitled to compensation under Section 2.10, 2.11, 3.5 or 5.4, as the case may be, for any such amounts incurred or accruing prior to the giving of such notice to the Borrower.

57

2.14.       Incremental Facilities.  The Borrower may by written notice to the Administrative Agent elect to request the establishment of one or more (x) new Term Loan Commitments (the “New Term Loan Commitments”) and/or (y) new Revolving Credit Commitments (the “New Revolving Loan Commitment” and, together with the New Term Loan Commitment, the “New Loan Commitments”), by an aggregate amount not less than $25,000,000 individually (or such lesser amount which shall be approved by the Administrative Agent or such lesser amount that shall constitute the difference between the amount determined pursuant to sub-clauses (A) and (B) of this sentence and all such New Loan Commitments obtained prior to such date), and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess of that amount, and in any event, by an aggregate amount which, when taken together with the principal amount of any Permitted Other Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 10.1(o) and outstanding at such time, shall not exceed in the aggregate at any time the sum of (A) $350,000,000 and (B) additional amounts (so long as, giving pro forma effect to the incurrence and funding of any New Term Loan Commitments and New Revolving Loan Commitments (assuming, for purposes of this Section 2.14, that such New Revolving Loan Commitments are fully drawn on the date that they are first incurred) at such time, the Senior Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio would be not greater than 1.50:1.00); provided, that for purposes of calculating the Senior Secured Debt to Consolidated EBITDA Ratio in the preceding sub-clause (B), Permitted Other Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 10.1(o) and outstanding at such time shall be deemed to be Senior Secured Debt.  Each such notice shall specify (i) the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the New Loan Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent and (ii) in the case of New Term Loan Commitments, whether such New Term Loan Commitments are commitments to make additional Tranche A Term Loans, additional Tranche B Term Loans or commitments to make term loans with terms different from the Tranche A Term Loans and the Tranche B Term Loans (such other term loans, the “Other Term Loans” and, together with the additional Tranche A Term Loans and additional Tranche B Term Loans, the “New Term Loans”); provided, that the Borrower shall first offer the Lenders to provide all of the New Loan Commitments prior to offering any other Person that is an eligible assignee pursuant to Section 13.6(b); provided further, that any Lender offered or approached to provide all or a portion of the New Loan Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a New Loan Commitment.  Such New Loan Commitments shall become effective, as of such Increased Amount Date; provided, that (1) no Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such New Loan Commitments, as applicable; (2) both before and after giving effect to the making of any Series of New Term Loans or New Revolving Loans, each of the conditions set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 shall be satisfied; (3) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be in pro forma compliance with each of the covenants set forth in Sections 10.9 and 10.10 as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter after giving effect to such New Loan Commitments and any investment to be consummated in connection therewith; (4) the New Loan Commitments shall be effected pursuant to one or more Joinder Agreements executed and delivered by the Borrower and Administrative Agent, and each of which shall be recorded in the Register by the Borrower and Administrative Agent, and shall be subject to the

58

requirements set forth in Section 5.4(b); (5) the Borrower shall make any payments required pursuant to Section 2.11 in connection with the New Loan Commitments, as applicable; and (6) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered (i) a certificate of the Borrower and Holdings, dated the Increased Amount Date, substantially in the form of Exhibit I, with appropriate insertions, executed by the President or any Vice President and the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Borrower, and attaching the documents referred to in Section 6.7 and 6.8 and, where applicable, certifying as to the incumbency and specimen signature of each officer executing any Credit Document or any other document delivered in connection therewith on behalf of such Credit Party, (ii) the executed legal opinions of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP and ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, general counsel of the Credit Parties, in each case, substantially in the forms previously delivered in connection with this Agreement and (iii) any other applicable documents reasonably required by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such transaction.  Any New Term Loans made on an Increased Amount Date shall be designated a separate series (a “Series”) of New Term Loans for all purpose of this Agreement.

On any Increased Amount Date on which New Revolving Loan Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (a) each of the Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments shall assign to each Lender with a New Revolving Loan Commitment (each, a “New Revolving Loan Lender”) and each of the New Revolving Loan Lenders shall purchase from each of the Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued interest), such interests in the Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Credit Loans will be held by existing Lenders with Revolving Credit Loans and New Revolving Loan Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such New Revolving Loan Commitments to the Revolving Credit Commitments, (b) each New Revolving Loan Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Credit Commitment and each Loan made thereunder (a “New Revolving Loan”) shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Credit Loan and (c) each New Revolving Loan Lender shall become a Lender with respect to the New Revolving Loan Commitment and all matters relating thereto.

On any Increased Amount Date on which any New Term Loan Commitments of any Series are effective, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (i) each Lender with a New Term Loan Commitment (each, a “New Term Loan Lender”) of any Series shall make a New Term Loan to the Borrower (a “New Term Loan”) in an amount equal to its New Term Loan Commitment of such Series, and (ii) each New Term Loan Lender of any Series shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to the New Term Loan Commitment of such Series and the New Term Loans of such Series made pursuant thereto.

The terms and provisions of the New Term Loans and New Term Loan Commitments of any Series shall beany New Term Loans that are additional Tranche B Term Loans shall be identical to those of the Tranche B Term Loans made on the Closing Date.  The terms and provisions of any New Term Loans that are additional Tranche A Term Loans shall be identical to those of the Tranche A Term Loans

59

made on the First Amendment Effective Date.  The terms and provisions of the Other Term Loans, except as otherwise set forth herein or in the Joinder Agreement, shall be identical to thethose of the Tranche A Term Loans or Tranche B Term Loans; provided, however, that (i) the applicable maturity date of each Series of Other Term Loans shall be no shorter than the final maturity of the Term LoansLatest Maturity Date and (ii) the rate of interest applicable to the NewOther Term Loans of each Series shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable new Lenders and shall be set forth in each applicable Joinder Agreement; provided further, that if the initial yield on any NewOther Term Loans (as determined by the Administrative Agent to be equal to the sum of (x) the Eurodollar Rate (including any applicable Eurodollar Rate floor) plus the Applicable Eurodollar Margin applicable to the NewOther Term Loans and (y) if the NewOther Term Loans are initially made at a discount or the Lenders making the same receive a fee directly or indirectly from Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary for doing so (the amount of such fee, expressed as a percentage of the NewOther Term Loans, being referred to herein as “OID”), the amount of such OID divided by the lesser of (A) the average life to maturity of such NewOther Term Loans and (B) four) exceeds by more than 50 basis points (the amount of such excess above 50 basis points being referred to herein as the “Yield Differential”) the Eurodolloar Rate plus the Applicable Eurodollar Margin then in effect for any Eurodollar Rate Tranche B Term Loan, then the Applicable ABR Margin and the Applicable Eurodollar Margin then in effect for Tranche B Term Loans shall automatically be increased by the Yield Differential, effective upon the making of the NewOther Term Loans (and if the Eurodollar Rate margins on the NewOther Term Loans are subject to a leveraged-based pricing grid, appropriate increases to the other Applicable ABR Margin and Applicable Eurodollar Margin for the Tranche B Term Loans, consistent with the foregoing, shall be made).  The terms and provisions of the New Revolving Loans and New Revolving Credit shall be identical to the Revolving Credit Loans and the Revolving Credit Commitments.

Each Joinder Agreement 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 opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provision of this Section 2.14.

SECTION 3.         Letters of Credit

3.1.         Letters of Credit.  (a)  Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, (i) the Borrower, at any time and from time to time on or after the Closing Date and prior to the L/C Maturity Date, may request that the Letter of Credit Issuer issue for the account of the Borrower a standby letter of credit or letters of credit in Dollars (each a “Dollar Letter of Credit” and, collectively, the “Dollar Letters of Credit”) in such form as may be approved by the Letter of Credit Issuer in its reasonable discretion and (ii) the Borrower, at any time and from time to time on or after the Closing Date and prior to the L/C Maturity Date, may request that the Letter of Credit Issuer issue for the account of the Borrower, a standby letter of credit or letters of credit in a Foreign Currency (each a “Foreign Currency Letter of Credit” and, collectively, the “Foreign Currency Letters of Credit” and, together with the Dollar Letters of Credit, the “Letters of Credit”) in such form as may be approved by the Letter of Credit Issuer in its reasonable discretion.

60

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, it is acknowledged and agreed that, from and after the Closing Date, (a) all Letter of Credit Exposure with respect to Converting Letters of Credit and any related Unpaid Drawings shall be deemed for all purposes hereunder to be issued under the Revolving Credit Commitment, (b) there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations held by each Lender thereunder pursuant to Section 3.3 so that the undivided participation and interest of the Lenders in each such Converting Letter of Credit and any related Unpaid Drawing is deemed to be made in respect of the Revolving Credit Commitment as if such Converting Letter of Credit were made on or after the Closing Date and (c) all Letters of Credit issued after the Closing Date shall be issued under the Revolving Credit Commitment.

(b)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Dollar Equivalent of the Stated Amount of which, when added to the Letter of Credit Outstanding at such time, would exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment then in effect; (ii) no Letter of Credit shall be issued the Dollar Equivalent of the Stated Amount of which would cause the aggregate amount of the Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures at such time to exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment then in effect; (iii) each Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date occurring no later than one year after the date of issuance thereof, unless otherwise agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer; provided, that any Letter of Credit may, upon request of the Borrower, provide for the automatic renewal thereof for additional consecutive periods of one year or less (which in no event shall extend beyond the L/C Maturity Date), subject to any conditions specified in such Letter of Credit; and provided further, that in no event shall such expiration date occur later than the L/C Maturity Date; (iv) each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars or in a Foreign Currency; (v) no Letter of Credit shall be issued if it would be illegal under any applicable law for the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit to have a Letter of Credit issued in its favor; and (vi) no Letter of Credit shall be issued by the Letter of Credit Issuer after it has received a written notice from the Borrower or any Lender stating that a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing until such time as the Letter of Credit Issuer shall have received a written notice of (x) rescission of such notice from the party or parties originally delivering such notice or (y) the waiver of such Default or Event of Default in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.1.

(c)  Upon at least one Business Day’s prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), the Borrower shall have the right, on any day, permanently to terminate or reduce the Letter of Credit Commitment in whole or in part; provided, that, after giving effect to such termination or reduction, the Letter of Credit Outstanding shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Commitment.

3.2.          Letter of Credit Requests.  (a)  Whenever the Borrower desires that a Letter of Credit be issued for its account, it shall give the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer at least five (or such lesser number as may be agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer) Business Days’ written notice thereof.  Each notice shall be executed by the Borrower and shall be in the form of Exhibit

61

G (each a “Letter of Credit Request”). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such issuance.

(b)  The making of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower that the Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 3.1(b).

3.3.          Letter of Credit Participations.  (a)  Immediately upon the issuance by the Letter of Credit Issuer of any Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each other Lender that has a Revolving Credit Commitment (each such other Lender, in its capacity under this Section 3.3, an “L/C Participant”), and each such L/C Participant shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from the Letter of Credit Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (each an “L/C Participation”), to the extent of such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage, in such Letter of Credit, each substitute letter of credit, each drawing made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto (although Letter of Credit Fees will be paid directly to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the L/C Participants as provided in Section 4.1(b) and the L/C Participants shall have no right to receive any portion of any Fronting Fees).

(b)  In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall have no obligation other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they appear to comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit.  Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Letter of Credit Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not create for the Letter of Credit Issuer any resulting liability.

(c)  In the event that the Letter of Credit Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the Borrower shall not have repaid such amount in full to the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to Section 3.4(a), the Letter of Credit Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent who will notify each applicable L/C Participant of such failure, and each such L/C Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the amount of such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in Dollars or in the applicable Foreign Currency, as the case may be, and in immediately available funds; provided, however, that no L/C Participant shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed amount arising from any wrongful payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under a Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Letter of Credit Issuer.  If the Letter of Credit Issuer so notifies, prior to 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) on any Business Day, any L/C Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit, such L/C

62

Participant shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer such L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in immediately available funds (or, if such notification is given after 11:00 a.m. (Local Time) on any Business Day, such amount shall be made available on the immediately following Business Day).  If and to the extent such L/C Participant shall not have so made its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer, such L/C Participant agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer, forthwith on demand, such amount, together with interest thereon for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.  The failure of any L/C Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall not relieve any other L/C Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any payment under such Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no L/C Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other L/C Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent such other L/C Participant’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any such payment.

(d)  Whenever the Letter of Credit Issuer receives a payment in respect of an unpaid reimbursement obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer any payments from the L/C Participants pursuant to paragraph (c) above, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to each L/C Participant that has paid its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such reimbursement obligation, in Dollars or the applicable Foreign Currency, as the case may be, and in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount originally funded by such L/C Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all L/C Participants) of the principal amount of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective L/C Participations.

(e)  The obligations of the L/C Participants to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to Letters of Credit shall be irrevocable and not subject to counterclaim, set-off or other defense or any other qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including under any of the following circumstances:

(i)  any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents;

(ii)  the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any

3.4.          Agreement to Repay Letter of Credit Drawings.  (a)  The Borrower hereby agrees to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer, by making payment to the Administrative Agent in Dollars or in the applicable Foreign Currency, as the case may be, in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office, for any payment or disbursement made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under any Letter of Credit (each such amount (including the Dollar Equivalent thereof) so paid until reimbursed, an “Unpaid Drawing”) immediately after, and in any event on the date of, such payment, with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by the Letter of Credit Issuer, to the extent not reimbursed prior to 5:00 p.m. (Local Time) on the date of such payment or disbursement, from and including the date paid or disbursed to but excluding the date the Letter of Credit Issuer is reimbursed therefor at a rate per annum that shall at all times be the Applicable ABR Margin plus the ABR as in effect from time to time; provided, that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) unless the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer prior to 10:00 a.m. (Local Time) on the date of such drawing that the Borrower intends to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer for the amount of such drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have given a Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative Agent requesting that the Lenders make Dollar Revolving Credit Loans (which shall initially be ABR Loans) or Foreign Currency Revolving Credit Loans (each of which shall be Eurodollar Loans with an Interest Period of one month denominated in Sterling or Euro), as the case may be, on the date on which such drawing is honored in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each L/C Participant of such drawing and the amount of its Revolving Credit Loan to be made in respect thereof, and (x) in respect of Dollar Letters of Credit, each L/C Participant shall be irrevocably obligated to make a Dollar Revolving Credit Loan that is an ABR Loan to the Borrower in the amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the applicable

64

Unpaid Drawing by 12:00 noon (Local Time) on such Business Day by making the amount of such Dollar Revolving Credit Loan available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office and (y) in respect of Foreign Currency Letters of Credit, each L/C Participant shall be irrevocably obligated to make a Foreign Currency Revolving Credit Loan that is a Eurodollar Loan with an Interest Period of one month to the Borrower, denominated in Sterling or Euro, as the case may be, in the amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the applicable Unpaid Drawing by 12:00 noon (London time) on such Business Day by making the amount of such Foreign Currency Revolving Credit Loan available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office.  Such Dollar Revolving Credit Loans or Foreign Currency Revolving Credit Loans shall be made without regard to the Minimum Borrowing Amount.  The Administrative Agent shall use the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loans solely for the purpose of reimbursing the Letter of Credit Issuer for the related Unpaid Drawing.

(b)  The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 3.4 to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer with respect to Unpaid Drawings (including, in each case, interest thereon) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set-off, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower or any other Person may have or have had against the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including in its capacity as an L/C Participant), including any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit (each a “Drawing”) to conform to the terms of the Letter of Credit or any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Drawing; provided, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer for any wrongful payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under the Letter of Credit issued by it as a result of acts or omissions constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Letter of Credit Issuer.

3.5.          Increased Costs.  If after the Closing Date, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or actual compliance by the Letter of Credit Issuer or any L/C Participant with any request or directive made or adopted after the Closing Date (whether or not having the force of law), by any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall either (a) impose, modify or make applicable any reserve, deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by the Letter of Credit Issuer, or any L/C Participant’s L/C Participation therein, or (b) impose on the Letter of Credit Issuer or any L/C Participant any other conditions affecting its obligations under this Agreement in respect of Letters of Credit or L/C Participations therein or any Letter of Credit or such L/C Participant’s L/C Participation therein, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant hereunder (other than any such increase or reduction attributable to Non-Excluded Taxes covered by Section 5.4 and taxes imposed on the overall net income of the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant) in respect of Letters of Credit or L/C Participations therein, then, promptly after receipt of written

65

demand to the Borrower by the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant, as the case may be, (a copy of which notice shall be sent by the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant for such increased cost or reduction, it being understood and agreed, however, that the Letter of Credit Issuer or an L/C Participant shall not be entitled to such compensation as a result of such Person’s compliance with, or pursuant to any request or directive to comply with, any such law, rule or regulation as in effect on the Closing Date.  A certificate submitted to the Borrower by the Letter of Credit Issuer or a L/C Participant, as the case may be, (a copy of which certificate shall be sent by the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent) setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the determination of such additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Letter of Credit Issuer or such L/C Participant as aforesaid shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower absent clearly demonstrable error.

3.6.          Successor Letter of Credit Issuer.  The Letter of Credit Issuer may resign as Letter of Credit Issuer upon 60 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower.  If the Letter of Credit Issuer shall resign as Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement, then the Borrower shall appoint from among the Lenders with Revolving Credit Commitments a successor issuer of Letters of Credit, whereupon such successor issuer shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Letter of Credit Issuer, and the term “Letter of Credit Issuer” shall mean such successor issuer effective upon such appointment.  At the time such resignation shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay to the resigning Letter of Credit Issuer all accrued and unpaid fees pursuant to Sections 4.1(c) and (d).  The acceptance of any appointment as the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder by a successor Lender shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such successor, in a form satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, such successor Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the previous Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.  After the resignation of the Letter of Credit Issuer hereunder, the resigning Letter of Credit Issuer shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of a Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.  After any retiring Letter of Credit Issuer’s resignation as Letter of Credit Issuer, the provisions of this Agreement relating to the Letter of Credit Issuer shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it (a) while it was Letter of Credit Issuer under this Agreement or (b) at any time with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Letter of Credit Issuer.

3.7.          Defaulting Lenders and Letters of Credit.  If any Letter of Credit Exposure exists at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then:

(a)  all or any part of such Letter of Credit Exposure shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage but only to the extent (x) the sum of all Non-Defaulting

66

Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure does not exceed the total of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments and (y) no Default or Event of Default exists and is continuing;

(b)  if the reallocation described in clause (a) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (a) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5.2(b) for so long as such Letter of Credit Exposure is outstanding;

(c)  if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure pursuant to Section 3.7(b), the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure is cash collateralized;

(d)  if the Letter of Credit Exposure of the Non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to Section 3.7(a), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Sections 4.1(b) or (c) shall be adjusted in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages; or

(e)  if any Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to Section 3.7(a), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Letter of Credit Issuer or any Lender hereunder, all facility fees that otherwise would have been payable to such Defaulting Lender (solely with respect to the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment that was utilized by such LC Exposure) and Letter of Credit Fees payable under Sections 4.1(b) or (c) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure shall be payable to the Letter of Credit Issuer until such Letter of Credit Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated.

So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is reasonably satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the Non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 3.7(c).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Tranche B Term Loans only, a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the principal amount outstanding thereof shall apply to (i) any prepayment of Tranche B Term Loans occurring on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date from the proceeds of a Repricing Transaction (as defined below) and (ii) any other prepayment of all of the Tranche B Term Loans occurring on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date from the proceeds of an incurrence of Indebtedness.

that it consents to or refuses such prepayment and (iv) any prepayment so refused may be retained by the Borrower.

(d) Application to Term Loans.  With respect to each prepayment of Term Loans required by Section 5.2(a), the Borrower may, subject to Section 5.2(c), designate the Types of Loans that are to be prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made; provided, that (i) Eurodollar Term Loans may be designated for prepayment pursuant to this Section 5.2 only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto unless all Eurodollar Term Loans with Interest Periods ending on such date of required prepayment and all Term Loans that are ABR Loans have been paid in full; (ii) if any prepayment of Eurodollar Term Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding Term Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount for Eurodollar Term Loans, such Borrowing shall immediately be converted into ABR Loans and (iii) each prepayment pursuant to this Section 5.2 of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Loans.  In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its reasonable discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.11.

(e)  Application to Revolving Credit Loans.  With respect to each prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans elected by the Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1 or required by Section 5.2(b), the Borrower may designate (i) the Types of Loans that are to be prepaid and the specific Borrowing(s) pursuant to which made and (ii) the Dollar Revolving Credit Loans or Foreign Currency Revolving Credit Loans to be prepaid; provided, that (w) Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans may be designated for prepayment pursuant to this Section 5.2 only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto unless all Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans with Interest Periods ending on such date of required prepayment and all ABR Loans have been paid in full; (x) if any prepayment by the Borrower of Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding Dollar Equivalent of the Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to such Borrowing to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount for Eurodollar Revolving Credit Loans, such Borrowing shall immediately be converted into ABR Loans; (y) each prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata among such Loans; and (z) notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding clause (y), no prepayment made pursuant to Section 5.2(a) or Section 5.2(b) of Revolving Credit Loans shall be applied to the Revolving Credit Loans of any Defaulting Lender.  In the absence of a designation by the Borrower as described in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the above, make such designation in its reasonable discretion with a view, but no obligation, to minimize breakage costs owing under Section 2.11.

(f)  Eurodollar Interest Periods.  In lieu of making any payment pursuant to this Section 5.2 in respect of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period therefor so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower at its option may deposit with the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the amount of the Eurodollar Loan to be

72

prepaid and such Eurodollar Loan shall be repaid on the last day of the Interest Period therefor in the required amount.  Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a corporate time deposit account established on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, earning interest at the then-customary rate for accounts of such type.  Such deposit shall constitute cash collateral for the Obligations; provided, that the Borrower may at any time direct that such deposit be applied to make the applicable payment required pursuant to this Section 5.2.

(b)  Any payments under this Agreement that are made later than 2:00 p.m. (Local Time) shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day at the Administrative Agent’s discretion.  Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that 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 during such extension at the applicable rate in effect immediately prior to such extension.

5.4.         Net Payments.  (a)  All payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall, except as otherwise required by law, be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any current or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding (i) net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on any Agent or any Lender and (ii) any taxes imposed on any Agent or any Lender as a result of a current or former connection between such Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from such Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Credit Document); provided that, if any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to any Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to such Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the

74

rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement had such withholding not been required; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender (x) if such Lender fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (b), (c) or (d) of this Section 5.4, (y) that are with respect to U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed pursuant to FATCA or (z) that are with respect to any U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed as a result of relocation of a Lender’s lending office except to the extent that such Lender was entitled, at the time of such relocation, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this Section 5.4.  Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of such Agent or Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt (or other evidence acceptable to such Agent or Lender, acting reasonably) received by the Borrower showing payment thereof.  In addition, if the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Agents and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest, costs or penalties that may become payable by any Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure.  The agreements in this Section 5.4(a) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.  For purposes of this Section 5.4, for the avoidance of doubt the term “Lender” shall include each Letter of Credit Issuer and L/C Participant.

(b)  Each Lender which is not a “United States person” as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall:

(i)  deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two copies of either (x) in the case of Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. Federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-8BEN (together with a certificate representing that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Borrower and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code)), (y) IRS Form W-8BEN, Form W-8EXP or Form W-8ECI, in each case properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or reduced rate of, U.S. Federal withholding tax on payments by the Borrower under this Agreement or (z) IRS Form W-8IMY and any attachments (including the forms described in subclauses (x) and (y) above, as applicable);

(ii)  deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two further copies of any such form or certification (or any applicable successor form) on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower; and

75

(iii)  obtain such extensions of time for filing and complete such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent;

unless in any such case any change in treaty, law or regulation has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required that renders any such form inapplicable or would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender so advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.  Each Person that shall become a Participant pursuant to Section 13.6 or a Lender pursuant to Section 13.6 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all the forms and statements required pursuant to this Section 5.4(b) if such Participant or Lender is not a “United States person” as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code; provided, that in the case of a Participant such Participant shall furnish all such required forms and statements to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no Lender or Participant shall be required to deliver any form or certification that it is not legally able to deliver.

(c)  If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement may be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax under FATCA (which, solely for purposes of this Section 5.4(c), shall include any amendments thereto), 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, in each case as may be necessary for the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

(d)  Each Lender that is not a Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two IRS Forms W-9 (or substitute or successor form), properly completed and duly executed, certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States federal backup withholding tax (i) on or prior to the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, (ii) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete, (iii) after the occurrence of a change in the Lender’s circumstances requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and (iv) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent.

(e)  The Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Lender, or to pay any additional amounts to any Lender, in respect of U.S. Federal withholding tax pursuant to paragraph (a) above to the extent that (i) the obligation to withhold amounts with respect to U.S. Federal withholding tax existed on the date such Lender became a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of a Participant, on the date such Participant became a Participant hereunder); provided, however, that this clause (i) shall not apply to the extent that (x) the indemnity payments or additional amounts any Lender (or Participant) would be entitled to receive (without regard to this clause (i)) do not

76

exceed the indemnity payment or additional amounts that the person making the assignment, participation or transfer to such Lender (or Participant) would have been entitled to receive in the absence of such assignment, participation or transfer, or (y) such assignment, participation or transfer had been requested by the Borrower, (ii) the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Lender or Participant to comply with the provisions of paragraph (b), (c) or (d) above or (iii) any of the representations or certifications made by a Lender or Participant pursuant to paragraph (b) above, which are, at the time of such payment, in effect and have not been superseded by subsequent representations or certificates, and the incorrectness of which necessarily results in the imposition of withholding tax pursuant to applicable law, are incorrect at the time a payment hereunder is made, other than by reason of any change in treaty, law or regulation having effect after the date such Lender became a party to this Agreement or such Participant purchased such participation.

(f)  If the Borrower determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting any taxes for which indemnification has been demanded hereunder, the relevant Lender or Agent, as applicable, shall cooperate with such Borrower in challenging such taxes at such Borrower’s expense if so requested by such Borrower.  If any Lender or Agent, as applicable, receives a refund of a tax for which a payment has been made by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, which refund in the good faith judgment of such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, is attributable to such payment made by the Borrower, then the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, shall reimburse the Borrower for such amount (together with any interest received from the relevant Governmental Authority thereon) as the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, determines to be the proportion of the refund as will leave it, after such reimbursement, in no better or worse position than it would have been in if the payment had not been required.  A Lender or Agent shall claim any refund that it determines is available to it, unless it concludes in its reasonable discretion that it would be adversely affected by making such a claim.  Neither any Lender nor any Agent shall be obliged to disclose any information regarding its tax affairs or computations to the Borrower in connection with this paragraph (f) or any other provision of this Section 5.4.

(g)  Each Lender represents and agrees that, on the Closing Date and at all times during the term of this Agreement, it is not and will not be a conduit entity participating in a conduit financing arrangement (as defined in Section 7701(1) of the Code and the regulations thereunder) with respect to the Borrowings hereunder unless the Borrower has consented to such arrangement prior thereto.

5.5.         Computations of Interest and Fees.  (a)  Interest on all Loans, except as provided in the next succeeding sentence, shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed.  Interest on Foreign Currency Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Sterling shall be calculated on the basis of a 365-day year for the actual days elapsed.

(b)  Fees and Letter of Credit Outstanding shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed.
