Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.

Section 2.10. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan and all other amounts and obligations owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on the Maturity Date.

(b)Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(c)The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof 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 hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d)The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e)Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in the form of Exhibit C hereto. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

Section 2.11. Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section.

(b)The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.09, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.09. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13, and any loss, cost or expense to the extent required by Section 2.16.

Section 2.12. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily amount of the Commitment of such Lender (whether used or unused) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Commitment terminates. Accrued facility fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Commitments terminate, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All facility fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(b)The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(c)The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account, on the date of each Mode Change such amount separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(d)All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, in the case of facility fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

Section 2.13. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b)The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(d)Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e)All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 2.14. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(a)the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

(b)the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Eurodollar Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

Section 2.15. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or

(ii)impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d)Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 2.16. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default but excluding any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.07(b) hereof), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

Section 2.17. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or the Lenders (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b)In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c)The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e)Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

(f)If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

Section 2.18. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars.

(b)If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

(c)If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e)If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.07(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

Section 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b)If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 2.20. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a)fees shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a); and

(b)the Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 9.02), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender, including, without limitation, Section 9.02(b)(i).

The Administrative Agent

Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

(c)Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipt.

Section 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b)Neither this Agreement, nor any other Loan Document, nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon, or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.18(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) release all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as otherwise provided for in the Loan Documents), or (vi) change the provisions of Section 2.20 without the written consent of the Administrative Agent; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

Section 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.

(b)The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

(c)To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay (without limiting the obligations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries hereunder or under any other Loan Documents) to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such.

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

(e)All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written demand therefore.

Section 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:

(A)the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; and

(B)the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of any Commitment to an assignee that is a Lender with a Commitment immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment.

(ii)Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A)except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(B)each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of its Commitments or Loans;

(C)the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500;

(D)the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more Credit Contacts (who shall be directors, officers, employees and/or agents of the assignee) to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its related parties or its securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws; and

(E)each partial assignment shall be made pro-rata between Line of Credit A and Line of Credit B.

For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” has the following meaning:

“Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

(iii)Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

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

(v)Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.07(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c)(i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender.

(ii)A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent (which consent may be withheld for any reason). A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.17(e) as though it were a Lender.

(d)Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Section 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 9.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower (except to the extent that applicable law prohibits such deposits or other obligations from being subject to such set-off rights) against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

Section 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

(b)The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c)The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d)Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

Section 9.10. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this agreement, the Loan Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (whether based on contract, tort or any other theory). Each party hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this section.

Section 9.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

Section 9.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority or self-regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (f) subject to an agreement by such recipient containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or obtained by the Administrative Agent or any Lender by inspection pursuant to Section 5.06 hereof, relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Section 9.13. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate herefore) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

Section 9.14. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.

Section 9.15. Amendment and Restatement. This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date and shall supersede all provisions of the Existing Agreement as of such date. From and after the Effective Date, all references made to the Existing Agreement in any Loan Document or in any other instrument or document shall, without more, be deemed to refer to this Agreement. The Borrower heretofore executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent certain Collateral Documents. The Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Liens created and provided for by the heretofore delivered Collateral Documents continue to secure, among other things, the obligations of the Borrower under the Existing Agreement which shall remain outstanding on the Effective Date as well as those hereafter arising under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and the heretofore delivered Collateral Documents and the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent thereunder, the obligations of the Borrower thereunder, and the Liens created and provided for thereunder remain in full force and effect in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, and shall not be affected, impaired or discharged hereby. Nothing herein contained shall in any manner affect or impair the priority of the liens and security interests created and provided for by the heretofore delivered Collateral Documents as to the indebtedness which would be secured thereby prior to giving effect to this Agreement. The execution and delivery of this Agreement shall constitute an amendment and restatement and not a novation or repayment of the obligations owing by the Borrower under the Existing Agreement.

In Witness Whereof, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.

To the Lenders and the

Administrative Agent Referred to Below

c/o JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.,

as Administrative Agent

▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇

▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

Re: ITT Educational Services, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to ITT Educational Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) in connection with the transaction contemplated by the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) of even date, among the Company, as borrower, the financial institutions identified therein as Lenders, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent. Capitalized terms used in this letter but not defined herein are used with the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

For purposes of expressing our opinions herein, we have been provided with and have examined the following documents, each dated as of January 11, 2010, except as otherwise indicated:

(i) the Credit Agreement, executed by the Company, the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent;

(ii) the Promissory Notes executed by the Company to each of the Lenders;

(iii) the Security Agreement, executed by the Company and the Administrative Agent; and

(iv) the Fee Letter Agreement executed by the Company and the Administrative Agent.

The documents identified above are referred to herein collectively as the “Transaction Documents.”

For purposes of expressing our opinions herein, we have examined only the documents identified above, and the documents and certificates identified on Schedule I. As to various questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied upon representations and warranties made in the Transaction Documents and upon certificates and other communications from public officials and officers of the Company, without any independent verification of the completeness or fairness of the statements contained therein. The opinions set forth herein are based upon and limited to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the laws of the States of Indiana and New York, and the federal laws of the United States of America. This letter should not be construed as expressing an opinion on any matter, legal or otherwise, not specifically mentioned herein.

For purposes of expressing our opinions herein, we have assumed that:

(a)

The copies of the Transaction Documents provided to us for review conform to the originals thereof, and all signatures on the originals are genuine.

(b)

The Transaction Documents have been duly authorized and executed by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and constitute legal, valid, and binding obligations of each of them, enforceable against each of them in accordance with their respective terms. The Administrative Agent has been validly appointed as the agent of the Lenders for the purpose of holding the security interest intended to be created by the Security Agreement.

(c)

The Company has received adequate consideration and “value” as such term is used in Section 9-203 of the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted and in effect in the State of New York (the “UCC”), has been given in connection with its execution of the Transaction Documents, and the Company has “rights” (as such term is used in Section 9-203 of the UCC) in the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement).

Upon the basis of the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications stated herein, we advise you that, in our opinion:

(1) The Company is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware and is in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

(2) The Company has the power and authority to execute and deliver each Transaction Document and to perform its obligations thereunder. The execution, delivery, and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents have been authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Company. The Company has duly executed and delivered the Transaction Documents. The Transaction Documents are valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms.

(3) The Security Agreement creates in favor of the Administrative Agent a security interest in the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement), to the extent the Collateral is property in which a security interest can be created under the UCC.

(4) The execution, delivery, and performance by the Company of its obligations under the Transaction Documents (a) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority of the State of Indiana, and (b) will not violate any applicable law or regulation or the charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of the Company or, to our knowledge, any order of any such Governmental Authority

We hereby confirm to you that to our knowledge there are no actions, suits, investigations, or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending or threatened against or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect, or that involve the Credit Agreement or the Transactions.

Our opinions expressed herein are subject to the following qualifications:

(A)

The phrase "to our knowledge" means the actual knowledge of the attorneys who participated in the preparation of this letter, based solely upon and in reliance on an investigation regarding litigation and other proceedings currently being handled by this firm, and on information provided to us by officers of the Company.

(B)

The validity, enforceability, and the binding effect of the Transaction Documents may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, or similar laws affecting creditor’s rights generally, and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered at a proceeding in equity or at law). The remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief are subject to certain equitable defenses, and to the extent such remedies are provided for in the Transaction Documents, enforceability thereof may be subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought. The enforcement of indemnity provisions of the Transaction Documents is subject to principles of equity and public policy. Marshalling of assets and collateral also may be required under certain circumstances. Certain waivers, releases of rights, and remedies under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation, “self-help remedies” (other than those available to a secured party under the UCC), may be unenforceable, unavailable, or of limited efficacy, however, such unenforceability, unavailability, or limited efficacy would not preclude the practical realization of the benefits and the security intended to be provided thereby. We express no opinion as to the validity, availability, or enforceability of any provisions contained in the Transaction Documents that: (i) purport to waive the right to a trial by jury, or (ii) provide for methods of service of process other than in accordance with applicable law. We express no opinion as to the enforceability of those provisions of the Transaction Documents calling for the payment of late charges, prepayment premiums, or increased rates of interest after default.

(C)

Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code limits the extent to which property acquired by a debtor after the commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code may be subject to a security interest arising from an agreement entered into by the debtor before the commencement of such case.

(D)

We express no opinion as to the existence of the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement), the sufficiency of the rights of the Company therein, or the perfection of any security interest therein.

This opinion is furnished to you solely for your benefit in connection with the transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents, and may not, without our consent, be furnished to any other person, be relied upon by any other person for any purpose, or be used, circulated, quoted, or otherwise referenced for any purpose.

Very truly yours,

Amended and Restated Security Agreement with

Respect to Custodial Account and Investment Property

This Amended and Restated Security Agreement with Respect to Custodial Account and Investment Property (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of January 11, 2010, by ITT Educational Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation with its mailing address at ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (“the Debtor”), in favor of JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, a national banking association (“JPMorgan”), with its mailing address at ▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, acting as administrative agent hereunder for the Secured Creditors hereinafter identified and defined (JPMorgan, acting as such administrative agent and any successor or successors to JPMorgan acting in such capacity being hereinafter referred to as the “Agent”).

Recitals:

A.The hereinafter defined Lenders are making available to the Debtor revolving credit facilities in the maximum aggregate principal amount of $150,000,000 pursuant to the terms of a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated January 11, 2010, among the Debtor, the Agent, as administrative agent thereunder and the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders;” the Agent and the Lenders are hereinafter collectively referred to herein as the “Secured Creditors,” and each individually as a “Secured Creditor”), as the same may be amended from time to time (the “Credit Agreement”).

B.Under the Credit Agreement the Debtor has the option to borrow Secured Loans or Unsecured Loans on either or both of Line of Credit A or Line of Credit B under the terms described in the Credit Agreement.

C.In order to induce the Lenders to extend Secured Loans, and in order to secure all of the Debtor’s obligations to the Lenders under the Secured Loans, the Debtor has agreed to grant to the Agent on behalf of the Lenders a security interest in all of the Debtor’s securities and other property carried in or credited to Agency/Custodial Account No. __________ (the “Account”) of the Debtor maintained with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association in its capacity as a securities intermediary (“the Intermediary”) and in the Account itself.

D.This Agreement is intended to amend and restate in its entirety the provisions of that certain Amended Security Agreement with Respect to Custodial Account and Investment Property between the Debtor and JPMorgan dated December 17, 2007 (the “Prior Security Agreement”).

Now, Therefore, it is agreed by and between the parties hereto as follows:

1.As security for the Secured Loans (if any) owing by the Debtor under the Credit Agreement, as the same may be modified or amended from time to time, including, without limitation, the repayment of all Secured Loans which the Lenders may hereafter loan to the Debtor (the “Secured Obligations”), and in order to secure the obligations of the Debtor as to the Secured Loans, the Debtor hereby grants a security interest to the Agent on behalf of the Secured Creditors in all of the Debtor’s right, title and interest in the investment property and financial assets credited to and carried in the Account, and the securities entitlement represented by the Account, together with the proceeds thereof, including all replacement investments and all monies owing to the Debtor and funds which may hereafter accumulate in or become withdrawable from such Account, including any balance which may remain to the credit of said Account upon the closing thereof (collectively, the “Collateral”). In connection herewith, and in order to perfect the security interest granted hereunder, JPMorgan, the Debtor and the Intermediary have entered into the Control Agreement.

2.All capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not defined herein are used with the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement. For the purposes of this Agreement:

“Effective Date” of a Notice of Sole Control shall be the beginning of the Business Day after an officer of the Intermediary at the level of Vice President or above has verified receipt of the Notice of Sole Control to the Agent; provided that the Intermediary may, at its option, act on the Notice of Sole Control at any time after actual receipt by the Intermediary of the Notice of Sole Control (even if before the beginning of the Business Day after the Intermediary has acknowledged receipt, as provided above).

“Notice of Sole Control” shall mean a written notification from the Agent to the Intermediary in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

“Permitted Instructions” shall mean the following instructions from the Debtor or the Debtor’s agents: (i) Trading Instructions, including instructions for the purpose of effecting the clearance or settlement of a trade in the Account; (ii) instructions to disburse income and dividends with respect to property in the Account; and (iii) instructions to debit the Account for any fees payable with respect to the Account or to any investment manager or advisor engaged by the Debtor to manage the Account (an “Investment Manager”).

“Trading Instructions” shall mean instructions to buy, sell or otherwise trade the assets in the Account.

3.The Agent and the Debtor acknowledge and agree that, prior to the Effective Date of a Notice of Sole Control, the Debtor and the Debtor’s agents are entitled to give Permitted Instructions without any concurrence or consent of the Agent, and the Intermediary is authorized to comply with all Permitted Instructions of the Debtor without further consent from the Agent. Any instructions to the Intermediary other than Permitted Instructions shall be made by a written instrument to such effect which shall be executed by:

(a) Before the Effective Date of a Notice of Sole Control, an authorized officer of the Debtor and the Agent, or

(b) After the Effective Date of a Notice of Sole Control, an authorized officer of the Agent.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time there are no outstanding Secured Loans, the Debtor shall have the exclusive right to determine what instructions are given to the Intermediary, and the Agent will execute the written instrument setting forth the Debtor’s instructions, and deliver the same to the Intermediary, promptly after receipt of such a request from the Debtor.

The Agent agrees that, at any time there are outstanding Secured Loans and no Notice of Sole Control has been delivered to the Intermediary, in connection with any instructions to withdraw and/or disburse principal or cash (other than Permitted Instructions as to which, prior to a Notice of Sole Control, the Debtor shall have sole authority) out of the Account, the Agent will execute the written instrument setting forth the Debtor’s instructions, and deliver the same to the Intermediary, promptly after receipt of such a request from the Debtor, so long as after giving effect to such request, the Collateral Requirement would not be violated.

Prior to the Effective Date of a Notice of Sole Control, the Intermediary shall be entitled to rely on all Trading Instructions and other Permitted Instructions from the Debtor or the Debtor’s agents as described in this Section 3, and the Intermediary shall have no obligation to notify the Agent prior to acting on any such instructions, including, but not limited to, delivery or receipt of cash or securities to effect clearance or settlement of any trade. The undersigned agree that the Intermediary shall not be responsible for any diminution or loss of value of the Collateral attributable to decline in market value of the Collateral.

4.The Agent and the Debtor acknowledge and agree that, after the Effective Date of a Notice of Sole Control, unless and until such Notice of Sole Control is rescinded in writing by the Agent,

(a)the Debtor and the Debtor’s agents will cease giving the Intermediary any instructions regarding the Account;

(b)only the Agent shall give instructions regarding the Account;

(c)the Agent shall give all Permitted Instructions to the Intermediary with a copy to the Debtor;

(d)the Agent shall give all other instructions regarding the Account to the Intermediary with a copy to the Debtor; and

(e)the Intermediary will cease complying with all instructions concerning the Account from the Debtor or the Debtor’s agents, and will comply with Trading Instructions and all other instructions from the Agent, without further consent of the Debtor.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent agrees that after the Effective Date of a Notice of Sole Control and until such Notice of Sole Control is rescinded in writing by the Agent, the Agent will give instructions to the Intermediary as the Debtor reasonably requests, including instruction to withdraw and/or disburse principal or cash, if after giving effect to such instruction the Collateral Requirement would not be violated.

If the Agent shall give the Intermediary a Notice of Sole Control as provided in Section 5 below, and the Intermediary shall have sent a copy of such Notice of Sole Control to the Debtor as provided in the Notice of Sole Control, the Intermediary shall have no duty or obligation whatsoever of any kind or character to determine the validity of any Notice of Sole Control or to take further instructions from the Debtor or the Debtor’s agents after the Effective Date of a Notice of Sole Control until it is rescinded in writing by the Agent.

5.The Agent may send a Notice of Sole Control to the Intermediary only after an Event of Default occurs while Secured Loans are outstanding, and while such Event of Default is continuing. Upon delivery of a Notice of Sole Control, the Agent, without further authority from the Debtor, shall be entitled to direct the Intermediary to liquidate any or all the Collateral in the Account and to request the Intermediary to remit to the Agent the proceeds of such liquidation up to the amount sufficient to satisfy the Secured Obligations, and the Intermediary is hereby authorized and directed to pay to the Agent such sums as the Agent shall so request or demand without the consent of or notice to the Debtor. If an Event of Default is cured or waived after a Notice of Sole Control is delivered to the Intermediary, the Agent shall promptly send the Intermediary a written notice that the Notice of Sole Control is rescinded, and instructing the Intermediary to comply with all Permitted Instructions from the Debtor without further consent of the Agent.

6.The Debtor hereby constitutes and appoints the Agent to act, after an Event of Default that occurs while there are outstanding Secured Loans, and during the continuance thereof, and after the Agent has given a Notice of Sole Control to the Intermediary, as the Debtor’s true, lawful and irrevocable attorney-in-fact to demand, receive and enforce payments and to give receipts, releases, satisfactions for, and to ▇▇▇ for all monies payable to the Debtor by the Intermediary with respect to the Collateral, and the Debtor agrees that this may be done in the name of the Agent with the same force and effect as the Debtor could do had this Agreement not been made. Any and all monies or payments which may be received by the Debtor at such time with respect to the Collateral, to which the Agent is entitled under and by reason of this Agreement, will be received by the Debtor as trustee for the Agent, and will be immediately delivered, in kind, to the Agent without commingling.

7.Any sums paid under this Agreement by the Intermediary to the Agent from the Account of the Debtor shall be applied by the Agent to the payment of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the Credit Agreement. The balance, if any, remaining after payment of such Secured Obligations shall be promptly repaid to the Debtor by the Agent. The receipt or receipts of the Agent for such funds so paid to it by the Intermediary shall, as to the Intermediary, operate as the receipt of the Debtor as fully and as completely as if funds had been paid to the Debtor. The liens created by this Agreement shall be junior to the liens claimed by the Intermediary for indebtedness owed to the Intermediary by the Debtor in connection with fees and expenses associated with the administration of the Account.

8.The Agent is hereby authorized and empowered to receive from the Intermediary, and the Intermediary is authorized and directed to deliver to the Agent and at the Debtor’s expense, copies of all confirmations and other notices with respect to all transactions executed by the Intermediary for the account of the Debtor, copies of the periodic Account statements of the Debtor, and copies of any and all matters pertaining to the Account of the Debtor with the Intermediary, including, without limitation, copies of all correspondence directed to the Debtor. The Agent will provide the Lenders with copies of such confirmations and notices upon request.

9.This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until all Secured Loans have been paid in full and the Secured Creditors have no further commitment to extend Secured Loans under the Credit Agreement, whereupon the Agent shall deliver to the Intermediary a notice terminating the Control Agreement.

10.The Debtor makes the following representations, warranties, covenants and agreements:

(a)The Debtor is the sole and lawful owner of the Collateral, and has full right, power, and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform each and all of the matters and things herein provided for. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, and the observance and performance of each of the matters and things herein set forth, will not (i) contravene or constitute a default under any provision of law or any judgment, injunction, order or decree binding upon the Debtor or any provision of the Debtor’s organizational documents (e.g., charter, articles or certificate of incorporation and bylaws, articles or certificate of formation or organization and limited liability company operating agreement, partnership agreement or similar organizational documents) or any covenant, indenture or agreement of or affecting the Debtor or any of its property or (ii) result in the creation or imposition of any lien or encumbrance on any property of the Debtor except for the lien and security interest granted to the Agent hereunder.

(b)The Debtor’s legal name, jurisdiction of organization and organizational number (if any) are: ITT Educational Services, Inc., Delaware, and 0404703. Except for the trade name “ITT Technical Institute(s),” the Debtor has not transacted business at any time during the immediately preceding five-year period, and does not currently transact business, under any other legal names or trade names. The Debtor shall not change its jurisdiction of organization without the Agent’s prior written consent. The Debtor shall not change its legal name or transact business under any other trade name without first giving 30 days’ prior written notice of its intent to do so to the Agent.

(c)The Collateral and every part thereof is and shall be free and clear of all security interests, liens (including, without limitation, mechanics’, laborers’ and statutory liens), attachments, levies, and encumbrances of every kind, nature, and description and whether voluntary or involuntary, except for the lien and security interest of the Agent therein and other Liens permitted by Section 6.02 of the Credit Agreement (herein, the “Permitted Liens”). The Debtor shall warrant and defend the Collateral against any claims and demands of all persons at any time claiming the same or any interest in the Collateral adverse to any of the Secured Creditors.

(d)The Debtor will promptly pay when due all taxes, assessments, and governmental charges and levies upon or against it or its Collateral, in each case before the same become delinquent and before penalties accrue thereon, unless and to the extent that the same are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings which prevent attachment of any lien resulting therefrom to, foreclosure on or other realization upon any Collateral and preclude interference with the operation of its business in the ordinary course and the Debtor shall have established adequate reserves therefor.

(e)The Debtor agrees to execute and deliver, and shall request the Intermediary to execute and deliver, to the Agent such further agreements, assignments, instruments, and documents, and to do all such other things, as the Agent may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to assure the Agent its lien and security interest hereunder, including, without limitation, such control agreements executed by the Intermediary as the Agent may from time to time reasonably require. The Debtor hereby authorizes the Agent to file any and all financing statements covering the Collateral or any part thereof as the Agent may require. The Agent may order lien searches from time to time against the Debtor and the Collateral, and the Debtor shall promptly reimburse the Agent for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such lien searches; provided, however, that unless and until an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Debtor shall not be required to pay for more than one set of such searches in any calendar year. In the event for any reason the law of any jurisdiction other than New York becomes or is applicable to the Collateral or any part thereof, or to any of the Secured Obligations, the Debtor agrees to execute and deliver all such agreements, assignments, instruments, and documents and to do all such other things as the Agent deems necessary or appropriate to preserve, protect, and enforce the security interest of the Agent under the law of such other jurisdiction. The Debtor agrees to ▇▇▇▇ its books and records to reflect the lien and security interest of the Agent in the Collateral.

(f)On failure of the Debtor to perform any of the covenants and agreements herein contained, the Agent may, at its option, perform the same and in so doing may expend such sums as the Agent deems advisable in the performance thereof, including, without limitation, the payment of any taxes, liens, and encumbrances, expenditures made in defending against any adverse claims, and all other expenditures which the Agent may be compelled to make by operation of law or which the Agent may make by agreement or otherwise for the protection of the security hereof. All such sums and amounts so expended shall be repayable by the Debtor upon demand, shall constitute additional Secured Obligations secured hereunder, and shall bear interest from the date said amounts are expended at the rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed) determined by adding 2.0% per annum to the ABR from time to time in effect, with any change in such rate per annum as so determined by reason of a change in such Base Rate to be effective on the date of such change in said Base Rate (such rate per annum as so determined being hereinafter referred to as the “Default Rate”). No such performance of any covenant or agreement by the Agent on behalf of the Debtor, and no such advancement or expenditure therefor, shall relieve the Debtor of any default under the terms of this Agreement or in any way obligate any Secured Creditor to take any further or future action with respect thereto. The Agent, in making any payment hereby authorized, may do so according to any ▇▇▇▇, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or holder of the claim to be discharged without inquiry into the accuracy of such ▇▇▇▇, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim. The Agent, in performing any act hereunder, shall be the sole judge of whether the Debtor is required to perform the same under the terms of this Agreement. The Agent is hereby authorized to charge any account of the Debtor maintained with any Secured Creditor for the amount of such sums and amounts so expended.

(g)The Debtor represents that on the date of this Agreement, none of the Collateral consists of margin stock (as such term is defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) except to the extent the Debtor has delivered to the Agent a duly executed and completed Form U-1 with respect to such stock. If at any time the Collateral or any part thereof consists of margin stock, the Debtor shall promptly so notify the Agent and deliver to the Agent a duly executed and completed Form U-1 and such other instruments and documents reasonably requested by the Agent in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent.

11.In acting under or by virtue of this Agreement, the Agent shall be entitled to all the rights, authority, privileges, and immunities provided in the Credit Agreement, all of which provisions of said Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, Article VIII thereof) are incorporated by reference herein with the same force and effect as if set forth herein in their entirety. The Agent hereby disclaims any representation or warranty to the Secured Creditors or any other holders of the Secured Obligations concerning the perfection of the liens and security interests granted hereunder or in the value of any of the Collateral.

12.Any Notice of Sole Control shall be effective on its Effective Date. All other notices under this Agreement shall be effective when actually received. Any notices or other communications which may be required under this Agreement are to be sent to the parties at the following addresses or such other addresses as may be subsequently given to the other parties in writing:

the Intermediary shall send to both the Debtor and the Agent at the above addresses copies of all periodic and transaction statements concerning the Account.

13.The Debtor acknowledges that this Agreement supplements any existing agreement(s) with the Intermediary and in no way is this Agreement intended to abridge any rights that the Intermediary might otherwise have with respect to the Debtor under the terms of any such existing agreements with the Debtor, except as expressly provided herein or in the Control Agreement. This Agreement shall not amend any contractual agreements between the Intermediary and the Debtor with respect to the Account or abridge any rights that the Intermediary may have under any such contractual agreements. This Agreement may not be changed orally, but only by an agreement in writing and signed by the parties.

14.This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the respective parties hereto and shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

15.This Agreement shall not be considered to create a joint venture or partnership between the parties hereto. Neither party to this Agreement may utilize the name of the other in any way without the other party’s written consent.

16.If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable by any court or regulatory or self-regulatory agency or body, such invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to such provision or condition. The validity of the remaining provisions and conditions shall not be affected thereby and this Agreement shall be carried out as if any such invalid or unenforceable provision or condition were not contained herein.

17.This Agreement is between the parties and is not intended to confer any benefits on third parties, provided however that the Intermediary will be deemed to be a beneficiary of the provisions related to the Intermediary contained in the Control Agreement.

18.The Debtor has heretofore executed and delivered to JPMorgan the Prior Security Agreement to secure certain indebtedness described therein (the “previously secured indebtedness”) owed to JPMorgan. The Secured Obligations include, without limitation, the previously secured indebtedness. The Debtor hereby agrees that, notwithstanding the execution and delivery hereof, the liens and security interests created and provided for by the Prior Security Agreement for the benefit and security of such previously secured indebtedness shall remain in full force and effect, it being specifically understood and agreed that the liens and security interests created and provided for by this Agreement, to the extent the same secure the previously secured indebtedness, shall constitute and be a continuation of the liens and security interests, which exist under the Prior Security Agreement as security for the previously secured indebtedness. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any financing statements executed in connection herewith shall affect or impair the validity or priority of the liens and security interests created and provided for by the Prior Security Agreement as to the previously secured indebtedness. However, to the extent that the Prior Security Agreement is inconsistent with any terms hereof, the Prior Security Agreement shall to such extent be deemed amended hereby and this Agreement shall govern and control over any such provisions of the Prior Security Agreement which are inconsistent with the provisions hereof.

19.This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

In Witness Whereof, the Debtor and the Agent have caused this Agreement to be executed by their respective authorized officers and delivered effective as of the date written above

Form of Guaranty

For value received and in consideration of advances made or to be made, or credit given or to be given, or other financial accommodation afforded or to be afforded to ITT Educational Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its successors and assigns (the “Borrower”), by the lenders from time to time party to that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of January 11, 2010 (as amended, supplemented, modified and/or restated, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, the Lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent (in such capacity the “Administrative Agent”), from time to time, the undersigned hereby guarantees the full and prompt payment to the Lenders at maturity and at all times thereafter of any and all indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of every kind and nature of the Borrower to the Lenders owing under and pursuant to the Credit Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, howsoever evidenced, whether now existing or hereafter created or arising, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, or joint or several, and howsoever owned, held or acquired, whether direct loan or as collateral or otherwise (hereinafter all such indebtedness, obligations and liabilities being collectively referred to as the “Indebtedness”); and the undersigned further agrees to pay all reasonable expenses, legal and/or otherwise (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees), paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in endeavoring to collect the Indebtedness, or any part thereof, and in protecting, defending or enforcing this guaranty in any litigation, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or otherwise. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the same meaning herein as in the Credit Agreement.

The undersigned further acknowledges and agrees with the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that:

1.This guaranty is a continuing, absolute and unconditional guaranty, and shall remain in full force and effect until written notice of its discontinuance shall be actually received by the Administrative Agent, and also until any and all of the Indebtedness created, existing or committed to before receipt of such notice shall be fully paid. The dissolution of the undersigned shall not terminate this guaranty until notice of such dissolution shall have been actually received by the Administrative Agent, nor until all of the Indebtedness created or existing before receipt of such notice shall be fully paid. The granting of credit from time to time by the Lenders to the Borrower in excess of the amount to which the right of recovery under this guaranty is limited, if any, and without notice to the undersigned, is hereby also authorized and shall in no way affect or impair this guaranty.

2.In case of the dissolution, liquidation or insolvency (howsoever evidenced) of, or the institution of bankruptcy or receivership proceedings against the Borrower or the undersigned, all of the Indebtedness then existing shall, at the option of the Administrative Agent, immediately become due or accrued and payable from the undersigned. All dividends or other payments received from the Borrower or on account of the Indebtedness from whatsoever source, shall be taken and applied as payment in gross, and this guaranty shall apply to and secure any ultimate balance that shall remain owing to the Lenders.

3.The liability hereunder shall in no wise be affected or impaired by (and the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to make from time to time, without notice to anyone), any sale, pledge, surrender, compromise, settlement, release, renewal, extension, indulgence, alteration, substitution, exchange, change in, modification or other disposition of any of the Indebtedness, either express or implied, or of any contract or contracts evidencing any of the Indebtedness, or of any security or collateral therefor. The liability hereunder shall in no wise be affected or impaired by any acceptance by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of any security for or other guarantors upon any of the Indebtedness, or by any failure, neglect or omission on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to realize upon or protect any of the Indebtedness, or any collateral or security therefor, or to exercise any lien upon or right of appropriation of any moneys, credits or property of the Borrower, possessed by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, toward the liquidation of the Indebtedness, or by any application of payments or credits thereon. The Administrative Agent shall have the exclusive right to determine how, when and what application of payments and credits, if any, shall be made on the Indebtedness, or any part thereof. In order to hold the undersigned liable hereunder, there shall be no obligation on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, at any time, to resort for payment to the Borrower or to any other guaranty, or to any other persons or corporations, their properties or estates, or resort to any collateral, security, property, liens or other rights or remedies whatsoever, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the right to enforce this guaranty irrespective of whether or not other proceedings or steps seeking resort to or realization upon or from any of the foregoing are pending.

4.All diligence in collection or protection, and all presentment, demand, protest and/or notice, as to any and everyone, whether or not the Borrower or the undersigned or others, of dishonor and of default and of non-payment and of the creation and existence of any and all of the Indebtedness, and of any security and collateral therefor, and of the acceptance of this guaranty, and of any and all extensions of credit and indulgence hereunder, are waived. No act of commission or omission of any kind, or at any time, upon the part of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in respect to any matter whatsoever, shall in any way affect or impair this guaranty, except to the extent such act is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such party.

5.The undersigned will not exercise or enforce any right of exoneration, contribution, reimbursement, recourse or subrogation available to the undersigned against any person liable for payment of the Indebtedness, or as to any security therefor, unless and until the full amount owing to the Lenders on the Indebtedness has been paid and the payment by the undersigned of any amount pursuant to this guaranty shall not in any wise entitle the undersigned to any right, title or interest (whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) in and to any of the Indebtedness or any proceeds thereof or any security therefor unless and until the full amount owing to the Lenders on the Indebtedness has been paid.

6.Subject to the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement, each Lender may sell, assign or transfer all of the Indebtedness, or any part thereof, or grant participations therein, and in that event each assignee, transferee, or holder of or participant in all or any part of the Indebtedness, shall have the right to enforce this guaranty, by suit or otherwise, for the benefit of such assignee, transferee, holder or participant, as fully as if such assignee, transferee, holder or participant were herein by name specifically given such rights, powers and benefits; but such Lender shall have an unimpaired right to enforce this guaranty for the benefit of such Lender or any such participant, as to so much of the Indebtedness that it has not sold, assigned or transferred.

7.The undersigned waives any and all defenses, claims and discharges of the Borrower, or any other obligor, pertaining to the Indebtedness, except the defense of discharge by payment in full. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the undersigned will not assert, plead or enforce against the Administrative Agent or the Lenders any defense of waiver, release, discharge in bankruptcy, statute of limitations, res judicata, statute of frauds, anti-deficiency statute, fraud, incapacity, minority, usury, illegality or unenforceability which may be available to the Borrower or any other person liable in respect of any of the Indebtedness, or any set-off available against the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to the Borrower or any such other person, whether or not on account of a related transaction. The undersigned agrees that the undersigned shall be and remain liable for any deficiency remaining after foreclosure of any mortgage or security interest securing the Indebtedness, whether or not the liability of the Borrower or any other obligor for such deficiency is discharged pursuant to statute or judicial decision.

8.If any payment applied by the Lenders to the Indebtedness is thereafter set aside, recovered, rescinded or required to be returned for any reason (including, without limitation, the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Borrower or any other obligor), the Indebtedness to which such payment was applied shall for the purposes of this guaranty be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application, and this guaranty shall be enforceable as to such of the Indebtedness as fully as if such application had never been made.

9.Any invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or application of this guaranty shall not affect other lawful provisions and applications hereof, and to this end the provisions of this guaranty are declared to be severable. This guaranty shall be construed according to the law of the State of New York, and may not be waived, amended, released or otherwise changed except by a writing signed by the Administrative Agent. The liability of the undersigned under this guaranty is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all other liabilities of the undersigned to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, if any, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.

10.This guaranty and every part thereof shall be effective upon delivery to the Administrative Agent, without further act, condition or acceptance by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, shall be binding upon the undersigned, and upon the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned, and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, their respective successors, legal representatives and assigns. The undersigned waives notice of the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ acceptance hereof.

11.The undersigned hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that: (a) it is a duly organized and validly existing corporation in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation and has the corporate power and authority to own its property and assets and to transact the business in which it is engaged and presently proposes to engage; (b) it has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of this guaranty and has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this guaranty; (c) it has duly executed and delivered this guaranty and this guaranty constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement of the undersigned enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law); (d) neither the execution, delivery and performance by the undersigned of this guaranty nor compliance with the terms and provisions thereof (i) will contravene any provision of any law, statute, rule, regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality applicable to the undersigned or its properties and assets, (ii) will conflict with or result in any breach of, any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any lien upon any of the property or assets of the undersigned pursuant to the terms of any promissory note, bond, debenture, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, credit or loan agreement, or any other material agreement or other instrument, to which the undersigned is a party or by which it or any of its property or assets are bound or to which it may be subject other than liens granted in favor of the Administrative Agent, or (iii) will violate any provision of the certificate or articles of incorporation or by-laws of the undersigned; (e) no order, consent, approval, license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, is required to authorize or is required as a condition to (i) the execution, delivery and performance by the undersigned of this guaranty, or (ii) the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of this guaranty; and (f) there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to, the knowledge of the undersigned, threatened with respect to the undersigned which question the validity or enforceability of this guaranty, or of any action to be taken by the undersigned pursuant to this guaranty.

12.The undersigned hereby submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York State court sitting in the City of New York for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this guaranty or the transactions contemplated hereby. The undersigned irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The undersigned hereby irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this guaranty or the transactions contemplated hereby.
