Within the limits set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein, Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans.

SECTION 2.02 Loans.

(a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their applicable available Commitments; provided that, the failure of

any Lender to make its Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender under this Section 2.02(a) of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender). Except for Loans deemed made pursuant to Section 2.17(e)(ii), (x) ABR Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $1.0 million or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the applicable Commitments and (y) the Eurodollar Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is (i) an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $1.0 million or (ii) equal to the remaining available balance of the applicable Commitments.

Each Lender may at its option make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that Borrower shall not be entitled to request any Borrowing that, if made, would result in more than seven Eurodollar Borrowings under the Revolving Loans outstanding hereunder at any one time.

(c) Except with respect to Loans deemed made pursuant to Section 2.17(e)(ii), each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account in New York City as the Administrative Agent may designate not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly credit the amounts so received to an account as directed by Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders.

(d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (c) above, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available, then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, each of such Lender and Borrower severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, 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. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement, and Borrower’s obligation to repay the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount pursuant to this Section 2.02(d) shall cease. Any payment by Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), (b), (g) or (h), all overdue amounts shall bear interest (after as well as before judgment), payable on demand, (a) in the case of overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any overdue interest payments on the Loans at the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan pursuant to the preceding paragraphs plus 2.00% per annum and (b) in all other cases, at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days at all times) equal to the rate that would be applicable to an ABR Loan plus 2.00% per annum.

(d) Interest Payment Dates. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 2.06(c) 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 without a permanent reduction in Revolving Commitments), 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) Interest Calculation. 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 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 in

accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.07 Termination and Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Termination of Commitments. The Revolving Commitments and the LC Commitment shall automatically terminate on the Revolving Maturity Date.

(b) Optional Terminations and Reductions. At its option, Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time permanently reduce, the Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $2.5 million; (ii) the Tranche A Revolving Commitments shall not be terminated or reduced if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Tranche A Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.09, the aggregate amount of Tranche A Revolving Exposures would exceed the aggregate amount of Tranche A Revolving Commitments; and (iii) the Tranche B Revolving Commitments shall not be terminated or reduced if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Tranche B Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.09, the aggregate amount of Tranche B Revolving Exposures would exceed the aggregate amount of Tranche B Revolving Commitments.

(c) Borrower Notice. Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under Section 2.07(b) at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that, subject to Section 2.12, a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by 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 of any Class shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments of any Class shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments of such Class.

SECTION 2.08 Interest Elections.

(a) Generally. Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case, each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b) Interest Election Notice. To make an election pursuant to this Section, Borrower shall deliver, by hand delivery, telecopier or electronic mail, a duly completed and executed Interest Election Request to the Administrative Agent not later than the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if Borrower were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable. Each Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, or if outstanding Borrowings are being combined, allocation to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(c) Automatic Conversion to ABR Borrowing. If an Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing is not timely delivered prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may require, by notice to Borrower, that (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.09 Optional and Mandatory Prepayments of Loans.

(a) Optional Prepayments. Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, subject to the requirements of clause (d) of this Section 2.09 and Section 2.12; provided that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $2.5 million or, if less, the outstanding principal amount of such Borrowing.

(b) Mandatory Tranche A Revolving Loan Prepayments. Subject to the terms of the Security Agreement:

(i) In the event of the termination of all the Tranche A Revolving Commitments, Borrower shall, on the date of such termination, repay or prepay all its outstanding Tranche A Revolving Borrowings and replace all outstanding Letters of Credit, collateralize all outstanding Letters of Credit with a supporting letter of credit reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Bank from an issuer reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank, or, subject to compliance with the Security Agreement, cash collateralize all outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.17(i).

(ii) In the event of any partial reduction of the Tranche A Revolving Commitments, then (x) at or prior to the effective date of such reduction, the Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower and the Tranche A Revolving Lenders of the sum of the Tranche A Revolving Exposures after giving effect thereto and (y) if the sum of the Tranche A Revolving Exposures would exceed the aggregate amount of Tranche A Revolving Commitments after giving effect to such reduction, then Borrower shall, on the date of such reduction, first, repay or prepay Tranche A Revolving Borrowings and second, replace outstanding Letters of Credit, collateralize all outstanding Letters of Credit with a supporting letter of credit reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Bank from an issuer reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank, or, subject to compliance with the Security Agreement, cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.17(i), in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(iii) In the event that the sum of all Lenders’ Tranche A Revolving Exposures exceeds the Tranche A Revolving Commitments then in effect, Borrower shall, without notice or demand, immediately first, repay or prepay Tranche A Revolving Borrowings, and second, replace outstanding Letters of Credit, collateralize all outstanding Letters of Credit with a supporting letter of credit reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Bank from an issuer reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank, or, subject to compliance with the Security Agreement, cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.17(i), in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(iv) In the event that the aggregate LC Exposure exceeds the LC Commitment then in effect, Borrower shall, without notice or demand, immediately replace outstanding Letters of Credit, collateralize all outstanding Letters of Credit with a supporting letter of credit from an issuer reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank, or, subject to compliance with the Security Agreement, cash collateralize outstanding Letters of Credit in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.17(i), in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(i) In the event of the termination of all the Tranche B Revolving Commitments, Borrower shall, on the date of such termination, repay or prepay all its outstanding Tranche B Revolving Borrowings.

(ii) In the event of any partial reduction of the Tranche B Revolving Commitments, then (x) at or prior to the effective date of such reduction, the Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower and the Tranche B Revolving Lenders of the sum of the Tranche B Revolving Exposures after giving effect thereto and (y) if the sum of the Tranche B Revolving Exposures would exceed the aggregate amount of Tranche B Revolving Commitments after giving effect to such reduction, then Borrower shall, on the date of such reduction, repay or prepay Tranche B Revolving Borrowings in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(iii) In the event that the sum of all Lenders’ Tranche B Revolving Exposures exceeds the Tranche B Revolving Commitments then in effect, Borrower shall, without

notice or demand, immediately repay or prepay Tranche B Revolving in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.

(d) Application of Prepayments. Prior to any optional or mandatory prepayment hereunder, Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings to be prepaid and shall specify such selection in the notice of such prepayment pursuant to Section 2.09(e), subject to the provisions of this Section 2.09(d). Any optional prepayments of Loans pursuant to Section 2.09(a) shall be applied, at the option of the Borrower (which option shall be set forth in the notice referred to in this Section 2.09(d)), to repay outstanding Tranche A Revolving Loans or to repay outstanding Tranche B Revolving Loans, as applicable, in the manner directed by Borrower. Amounts to be applied pursuant to this Section 2.09 to the prepayment of Revolving Loans shall be applied first to reduce outstanding ABR Loans. Any amounts remaining after each such application shall be applied to prepay Eurodollar Loans.

(e) Notice of Prepayment. Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by written notice of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment and (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.07, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.07. Each such notice shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof and of each Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of the prepayment. Such notice to the Lenders may be by telecopier or electronic mail; provided that each such notice via electronic mail must be approved on a case-by-case basis by the Administrative Agent. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of a Credit Extension of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing and otherwise in accordance with this Section 2.09. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.06.

SECTION 2.10 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 final and 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 in writing by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give written notice thereof to Borrower and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies 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 2.11 Yield Protection.

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

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

(ii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to materially 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 materially increase the cost to such Lender, such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to materially reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then, upon written request of such Lender or such Issuing Bank (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amounts), Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines (in good faith, but in its sole absolute discretion) that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time upon written request of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the charge and the calculation of such reduced rate of return, Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth in good faith and reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.11 and delivered to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or

reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(e) Coordination. The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.11 shall not apply in the case of any Change in Law in respect of Taxes, which shall instead be governed by Section 2.14.

SECTION 2.12 Breakage Payments. In the event of (a) the payment or prepayment, whether optional or mandatory, of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan earlier than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan earlier than 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 or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan earlier than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.15(b), then, in any such event, Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the actual and realized loss, cost and expense (excluding, in any case, loss of anticipated profit) attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, 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 in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be delivered to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within five days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.13 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.

(a) Payments Generally. Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, Fees or Reimbursement Obligations, or of amounts payable under Section 2.11, 2.12, 2.14 or 10.03, or otherwise) on or before the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment (or, if no such time is expressly required, prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction 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 payment account, except (i) payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein, (ii) payments pursuant to Sections 2.11, 2.12, 2.14 and 10.03 shall be made directly to the persons entitled thereto and (iii) payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the persons specified therein. 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 under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, unless specified otherwise, 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 under each Loan Document shall be made in dollars, except as expressly specified otherwise.

(b) Pro Rata Treatment.

(i) Each payment by Borrower of interest in respect of the Loans shall be applied to the amounts of such obligations owing to the Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders) pro rata according to the respective amounts then due and owing to the Lenders.

(ii) Each payment by Borrower on account of principal of the Tranche A Revolving Borrowings shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Tranche A Revolving Loans then held by the Tranche A Revolving Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders). Each payment by Borrower on account of principal of the Tranche B Revolving Borrowings shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Tranche B Revolving Loans then held by the Tranche B Revolving Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders).

(iii) Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Borrowing to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount.

(c) Insufficient Funds. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, Reimbursement Obligations, interest and Fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward 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, toward payment of principal and Reimbursement Obligations then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and Reimbursement Obligations then due to such parties.

(d) Sharing of Set-Off. If any Lender (and/or any Issuing Bank, which shall be deemed a “Lender” for purposes of this Section 2.13(d)) shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other Obligations resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other Obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, 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 and other amounts owing them, 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 (x) any payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant.

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Requirements of Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such

participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation. If under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or any similar law any Secured Party receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff or counterclaim to which this Section 2.13(d) applies, such Secured Party shall to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights to which the Secured Party is entitled under this Section 2.13(d) to share in the benefits of the recovery of such secured claim.

(e) Borrower Default. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank 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.

(f) Lender Default. If any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender, including by virtue of a failure of such Lender to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.02(c), 2.13(e), 2.17(d), 2.17(e) or 10.03(c), then the Administrative Agent shall, 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 this Agreement, or Borrower’s obligations to pay or collateralize any Obligations that arise directly or indirectly by virtue of such Lender being a Defaulting Lender (including for the avoidance of doubt Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit that are cash collateralized by Borrower as contemplated in the last sentence of Section 2.17), until all such unsatisfied obligations and Obligations are fully paid and collateralized.

SECTION 2.14 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Loan Parties shall be required by applicable Requirements of Law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any 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, Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the applicable Loan Party shall make such deductions and (iii) the applicable Loan Party shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law.

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

(c) Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within ten Business Days after written demand therefor, for

the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, 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 Borrower by a Lender or an Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount was determined, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority, Borrower shall deliver to the 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) Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Borrower or the Administrative Agent), but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so, whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party,

(ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate, in substantially the form of Exhibit I, or any other form approved by the Administrative Agent, to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN,

(iv) in the case of a Foreign Lender that is not the beneficial owner of payments made under this Agreement (including a partnership or a participating Lender) (A) an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY on behalf of itself and (B) the relevant forms prescribed in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), and (v) of this paragraph (e) that would be required of each beneficial owner (or partner or Participant) if the beneficial owner (or partner or Participant) were a Lender; provided, however, that if the Lender is a partnership and one or more of its partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, the Lender may provide the certificate required under paragraph (e)(iii) above on behalf of such partners; or

(v) any other form prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by

applicable Requirements of Law to permit Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(f) FATCA. If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if the Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), the Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and Borrower, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such other time or times reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or Borrower, the documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and the additional documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or Borrower as may be necessary for the Administrative Agent or Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that the Lender has or has not complied with the Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from the payment.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14, it shall promptly notify Borrower of such refund and pay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section 2.14 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other person.

(h) U.S. Lenders. Each Lender who is a U.S. person on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement, on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender, in the case of an assignee, and from time to time thereafter if requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall provide Borrower and the Administrative Agent with duplicate executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or any successor form, accurately certifying that such Lender is entitled to exemption from U.S backup withholding tax.

(i) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender and Issuing Bank shall severally indemnify (i) the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for any Indemnified Taxes (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so) and (ii) Borrower and the Administrative Agent for any Excluded Taxes, in each case attributable to such Lender or Issuing Bank that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or Borrower (as applicable) in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender or Issuing Bank by the Administrative Agent or Borrower (as applicable) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent or Borrower (subject to compliance with the Security Agreement), as applicable, to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Issuing Bank under any Loan Document or otherwise

payable by the Administrative Agent or Borrower (as applicable) to the Lender or Issuing Bank from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent or Borrower (as applicable) under this paragraph (i). The agreements in this paragraph (i) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent.

(j) Foreign Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent is a U.S. branch of a foreign bank subject to regulatory supervision by the Federal Reserve Board, then Borrower and the Administrative Agent will agree to treat the Administrative Agent as a U.S. person to the extent permissible under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv). Pursuant to that regulation, the Administrative Agent shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower on or prior to the date on which the Administrative Agent becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Borrower), an executed original of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY.

SECTION 2.15 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.11, or requires Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, 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 reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.11 or 2.14, 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 in any material respect to such Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail such costs and expenses submitted by such Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.11, or if Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.14, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or if Borrower exercises its replacement rights under Section 10.02(c), then Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate (and such Lender agrees to assign and delegate), without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.04), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(i) the Administrative Agent shall have been paid the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 10.04(b);

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued Fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.12), from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and Fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts;

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.11 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.14, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Requirements of Law.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, with respect to an exercise by Borrower of its rights under this Section 2.15(b) resulting from a claim for compensation by such Lender under Section 2.11, such Lender withdraws or waives such claim within ten Business Days of such Lender’s receipt of the notice to such Lender of Borrower’s intent to exercise of its rights under this Section 2.15(b) referred to above.

SECTION 2.16 [Reserved].

SECTION 2.17 Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Borrower may request an Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank agrees, to issue Letters of Credit for its own account or the account of a Subsidiary in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time prior to the earlier of (i) 30 days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date and (ii) the end of the Revolving Availability Period (provided that Borrower shall be a co-applicant, and be jointly and severally liable, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Subsidiary). Such Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to issue, and Borrower shall not request the issuance of, any Letter of Credit at any time if after giving effect to such issuance, the LC Exposure would exceed the LC Commitment or the total Tranche A Revolving Exposure would exceed the total Tranche A Revolving Commitments. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by Borrower to, or entered into by Borrower with, such Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.17 or elsewhere in this Agreement, in the event that a Tranche A Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, an Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue any Letter of Credit unless such Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and Borrower to eliminate such Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit by all such Defaulting Lenders, including by cash collateralizing each such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of each LC Disbursement.

(b) Request for Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions and Notices. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit, Borrower shall deliver, by hand or telecopier (or transmit by other electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank), an LC Request to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. on the third Business Day preceding the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (or such later date and time as is acceptable to such Issuing Bank).

A request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank:

(i) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day);

(ii) the amount thereof;

(iii) the expiry date thereof (which shall not be later than the close of business on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date);

(iv) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof;

(v) whether the Letter of Credit is to be issued for its own account or for the account of one of its Subsidiaries (provided that Borrower shall be a co-applicant, and therefore jointly and severally liable, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Subsidiary);

(vi) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in connection with any drawing thereunder;

(vii) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in connection with any drawing thereunder; and

(viii) such other matters as the Issuing Bank may reasonably require.

A request for an amendment, renewal or extension of any outstanding Letter of Credit shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Bank:

(i) the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended;

(ii) the proposed date of amendment, renewal or extension thereof (which shall be a Business Day);

(iii) the nature of the proposed amendment, renewal or extension; and

(iv) such other matters as the Issuing Bank may reasonably require.

If requested by an Issuing Bank, Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and, upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit, Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed the LC Commitment, (ii) the total Tranche A Revolving Exposures shall not exceed the total Tranche A Revolving Commitments and (iii) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 in respect of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension shall have been satisfied. Unless the Issuing Bank shall agree otherwise, no Letter of Credit shall be in an initial amount less than $500,000.

Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit or amendment, renewal, extension or modification to a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, who shall promptly notify each Tranche A Revolving Lender, thereof and the amount of such Lender’s respective participation in such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.17(d). On the last Business Day of each calendar month, the Issuing Bank shall provide to the Administrative Agent a report listing all outstanding Letters of Credit and the amounts and beneficiaries thereof and the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide such report to each Tranche A Revolving Lender.

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (x) the date which is one year after the date of the issuance of such Standby Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (y) the Letter of Credit Expiration Date.

(ii) If Borrower so requests in any Letter of Credit Request, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit must permit the Issuing Bank to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the Issuing Bank, Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the Issuing Bank for any such renewal. Once an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the Issuing Bank to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the earlier of (i) one year from the date of such renewal and (ii) the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided that the Issuing Bank shall not permit any such renewal if (x) the Issuing Bank has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.17(l) or otherwise), or (y) it has received notice on or before the day that is two Business Days before the date which has been agreed upon pursuant to the proviso of the first sentence of this paragraph, (1) from the Administrative Agent that any Tranche A Revolving Lender directly affected thereby has elected not to permit such renewal or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 are not then satisfied.

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably grants to each Tranche A Revolving Lender, and each Tranche A Revolving Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Tranche A Revolving Lender’s Tranche A Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Tranche A Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Tranche A Revolving Lender’s Tranche A Pro Rata Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by Borrower on the date due as provided in Section 2.17(e), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to Borrower for any reason. Each Tranche A Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, or expiration, termination or collateralization of any Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement.

(i) If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Issuing Bank an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that Borrower receives notice thereof from the Issuing Bank and/or Administrative Agent; provided that Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with Tranche A Revolving Loans in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Tranche A Revolving Loans.

(ii) If Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Issuing Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Tranche A Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from Borrower in respect thereof and such Tranche A Revolving Lender’s Tranche A Pro Rata Percentage thereof. Each Tranche A Revolving Lender shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date (or, if such Revolving Lender shall have received such notice later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on any day, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the immediately following Business Day), an amount equal to such Tranche A Revolving Lender’s Tranche A Pro Rata Percentage of the unreimbursed LC Disbursement in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02(c) with respect to Tranche A Revolving Loans made by such Tranche A Revolving Lender, and the Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Tranche A Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent will promptly pay to the Issuing Bank any amounts received by it from Borrower pursuant to the above paragraph prior to the time that any Tranche A Revolving Lender makes any payment pursuant to the preceding sentence and any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent from Borrower thereafter will be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Tranche A Revolving Lenders that shall have made such payments and to the Issuing Bank, as appropriate.

(iii) If any Tranche A Revolving Lender shall not have made its Tranche A Pro Rata Percentage of such LC Disbursement available to the Administrative Agent as provided above, each of such Tranche A Revolving Lender and Borrower severally agrees to pay interest on such amount, for each day from and including the date such amount is required to be paid in accordance with the foregoing to but excluding the date such amount is paid, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank at (i) in the case of Borrower, the rate per annum set forth in Section 2.17(h) and (ii) in the case of such Lender, at a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules or practices on interbank compensation.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Reimbursement Obligation of Borrower as provided in Section 2.17(e) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein; (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit being proved to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iii) payment by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation

of a draft or other document that fails to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.17, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the obligations of Borrower hereunder; (v) the fact that a Default shall have occurred and be continuing; or (vi) any material adverse change in the business, property, results of operations, prospects or condition, financial or otherwise, of Borrower and its Subsidiaries. None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or any of their Affiliates shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of any Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law) suffered by Borrower that are caused by any Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank may, in its reasonable discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Each Issuing Bank shall promptly give written notice to the Administrative Agent and Borrower of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve Borrower of its Reimbursement Obligation to such Issuing Bank and the Tranche A Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement (other than with respect to the timing of such Reimbursement Obligation set forth in Section 2.17(e)).

(h) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest payable on demand, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum determined pursuant to Section 2.06(c). Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of such Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Tranche A Revolving Lender pursuant to Section 2.17(e) to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Tranche A Required Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, Borrower shall, subject to compliance with the Security Agreement, deposit on terms and in interest bearing accounts reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Collateral Agent and for the benefit of the Tranche A Revolving Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date

plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral (subject to compliance with the Security Agreement) shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to Borrower described in Section 8.01(g) or (h). Funds so deposited shall be applied by the Collateral Agent, upon instruction by the Administrative Agent in its capacity as the Applicable Priority Lien Representative under and as defined in the Security Agreement, to reimburse (after the payment of all costs and reasonable expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent and other Agents (as defined in the Security Agreement), in each case, as set forth in Section 5.5 of the Security Agreement) the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of outstanding Reimbursement Obligations or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Tranche A Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement) and in accordance with Section 5.5 of the Security Agreement. If, subject to compliance with the Security Agreement, Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the existence of an Event of Default, such amount plus any accrued interest or realized profits with respect to such amounts (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

(j) Issuing Banks. Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, designate one or more financial institutions to act as an issuing bank under the terms of this Agreement, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and the existing Issuing Banks (if any). Any such financial institution designated as an issuing bank pursuant to this paragraph (j) shall become a party hereto and shall be deemed to be the Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit issued or to be issued by it, and all references herein and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall, with respect to such Letters of Credit, be deemed to refer to such financial institution in its capacity as Issuing Bank, as the context shall require.

(k) Resignation or Removal of the Issuing Bank. Any Issuing Bank may resign as Issuing Bank hereunder at any time upon at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and Borrower. Such Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of such Issuing Bank or any such additional Issuing Bank. At the time any such resignation or replacement shall become effective, Borrower shall pay all unpaid Fronting Fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.05(c). From and after the effective date of any such resignation or replacement or addition, as applicable, (i) the successor or additional Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of such Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or such addition or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor or such addition and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the resignation or replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. If at any time there is more than one Issuing Bank hereunder, Borrower may, in its discretion, select which Issuing Bank is to issue any particular Letter of Credit.

(l) Provisions Related to Extended Revolving Commitments. If the maturity date in respect of any tranche of Tranche A Revolving Commitments occurs prior to the expiration of any Letter of Credit, then (i) if one or more other tranches of Tranche A Revolving Commitments in respect of which the maturity date shall not have occurred are then in effect, such Letters of Credit shall

automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Revolving Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Tranche A Revolving Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.17(e)) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders pursuant to) the Tranche A Revolving Commitments in respect of such non-terminating tranches up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Tranche A Revolving Commitments thereunder at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to immediately preceding clause (i), Borrower shall cash collateralize any such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.17(i). If, for any reason, such cash collateral is not provided or the reallocation does not occur, the Tranche A Revolving Lenders under the maturing tranche shall continue to be responsible for their participating interests in the Letters of Credit. Except to the extent of reallocations of participations pursuant to clause (i) of the second preceding sentence, the occurrence of a maturity date with respect to a given tranche of Tranche A Revolving Commitments shall have no effect upon (and shall not diminish) the percentage participations of the Tranche A Revolving Lenders in any Letter of Credit issued before such maturity date. Commencing with the maturity date of any tranche of Tranche A Revolving Commitments, the sublimit for Letters of Credit shall be agreed with the Lenders under the extended tranches.

(m) Other.

(i) No Issuing Bank shall be under an obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such Issuing Bank in good ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ material to it.

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

SECTION 2.18 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) If, at the time a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, such Lender has any LC Exposure then:

(i) all or any part of such LC Exposure shall be reallocated among the Tranche A Revolving Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum of all such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Tranche A Revolving Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Tranche A Pro Rata Percentage of the LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Tranche A Revolving Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied at such time;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, Borrower shall, subject to compliance with the Security Agreement, within five Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s Tranche A Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.17(i) for so long as such LC Exposure is out-standing;

(iii) if Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Tranche A Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate LC Exposure pursuant to this Section 2.18(a), Borrower shall not be required to pay any Fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.05(c) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Tranche A Pro Rata Percentage of the LC Exposure for the period such Defaulting Lender’s Tranche A Pro Rata Percentage of the LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the Tranche A Pro Rata Percentages of the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders are reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.18(a), then the Fees payable to the Tranche A Revolving Lenders pursuant to Section 2.05(a) and Section 2.05(c) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Tranche A Pro Rata Percentage; and

(v) if any Defaulting Lender’s Tranche A Pro Rata Percentage of the aggregate LC Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.18(a), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any Tranche A Revolving Lender hereunder, all Fees payable under Section 2.05(c) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Tranche A Pro Rata Percentage of the LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank ratably in accordance with the portion of such LC Exposure attributable to each Issuing Bank until such LC Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated; and

(b) so long as any Tranche A Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Tranche A Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by Borrower in accordance with Section 2.18(a), and participating interests in any such newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among Tranche A Revolving Lenders that are non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.18(a)(i) (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).

(c) In the event that the Administrative Agent, Borrower and each Issuing Bank agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Tranche A Pro Rata Percentages of the LC Exposure of the Tranche A Revolving Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Tranche A Revolving Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Tranche A Revolving Loans of the other Tranche A Revolving Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine to be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Tranche A Revolving Loans in accordance with its Tranche A Pro Rata Percentage.

SECTION 2.19 Extensions of Revolving Commitments.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by Borrower to all Lenders holding

Tranche A Revolving Commitments or Tranche B Revolving Commitments, as applicable, with a like maturity date, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Revolving Commitments with a like maturity date, as the case may be) and on the same terms to each such Lender, Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the maturity date of each such Lender’s Revolving Commitments and otherwise modify the terms of such Revolving Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including, without limitation, by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings)) (each, an “Extension”, and each group of Revolving Commitments, in each case as so extended, as well as the original Tranche A Revolving Commitments and Tranche B Revolving Commitments (in each case not so extended), being a “tranche”; any Extended Revolving Commitments shall constitute a separate tranche of Revolving Commitments from the tranche of Revolving Commitments from which they were converted), so long as the following terms are satisfied:

(i) except as to interest rates, fees and final maturity (which shall be determined by Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Revolving Commitments of any Revolving Lender that agrees to an extension with respect to such Revolving Commitments (an “Extending Revolving Lender”) extended pursuant to an Extension (an “Extended Revolving Commitment”), and the related outstandings, shall be Revolving Commitments (or related outstandings, as the case may be) with the same terms as the original Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings); provided that (A) if the original Revolving Commitments are Tranche A Revolving Commitments, subject to the provisions of Section 2.17(l) to the extent dealing with Letters of Credit which mature or expire after a maturity date when there exist Extended Revolving Commitments with a longer maturity date, all Letters of Credit shall be participated in on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Tranche A Revolving Commitments in accordance with their Applicable Percentage of the Tranche A Revolving Commitments (and except as provided in Section 2.17(l), without giving effect to changes thereto on an earlier maturity date with respect to Letters of Credit theretofore incurred or issued), (B) all borrowings under Tranche A Revolving Commitments or Tranche B Revolving Commitments, as applicable, and repayments thereunder, as applicable, shall be made on a pro rata basis (except for (1) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings) and (2) repayments required upon the maturity date of the non-extending Revolving Commitments) and (C) at no time shall there be Revolving Commitments hereunder (including Extended Revolving Commitments and any original Revolving Commitments) which have more than three different maturity dates;

(ii) if the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Commitments, in respect of which Revolving Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Revolving Commitments, offered to be extended by Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Revolving Commitments of such Revolving Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Revolving Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer;

(iii) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing; and

(iv) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by Borrower.

(b) With respect to all Extensions consummated by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.19, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.09 and (ii) no Extension Offer is required to be in any minimum amount or any minimum increment; provided that Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in Borrower’s sole discretion and may be waived by Borrower) of Revolving Commitments of any or all applicable tranches be tendered. The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.19 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Revolving Commitments on the such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.09 and 2.13) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.19.

(c) No consent of any Lender, the Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than (i) the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Revolving Commitments (or a portion thereof) and (ii) the consent of the Issuing Bank, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All Extended Revolving Commitments and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu or junior lien basis with all other applicable Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with Borrower as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of Revolving Commitments so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.19. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extensions the respective Loan Parties shall (at their expense) amend (and the Administrative Agent is hereby directed to amend) any Mortgage that has a maturity date prior to the then latest maturity date so that such maturity date is extended to the then latest maturity date (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to the Administrative Agent).

(d) In connection with any Extension, Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least five Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including, without limitation, regarding timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.19.

The Transactions to be entered into by each Loan Party are within such Loan Party’s powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of such Loan Party. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party and constitutes, and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is to be a party, when executed and delivered by such Loan Party, will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

SECTION 3.03 No Conflicts.

SECTION 3.04 Financial Statements; Projections.

(a) Historical Financial Statements. Borrower has heretofore delivered to the Lenders (i) the consolidated balance sheets and related statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, audited by and accompanied by the unqualified opinion of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, independent public accountants, and (ii) the unaudited consolidated balance sheets and related statements of income of Borrower and its Subsidiaries for each fiscal quarter of the current fiscal year ending more than 45 days prior to the Closing Date and for the comparable periods of the preceding fiscal year, in each case, certified by the chief financial officer of Borrower. Such financial statements and all financial statements delivered pursuant to Sections 5.01(a), (b) and (c) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (in the case of financial statements delivered pursuant to Sections 5.01(b) and (c), subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes) and present fairly and in all material respects the financial condition and results of operations and cash flows of Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the dates and for the periods to which they relate.

(b) No Liabilities. Except as set forth in the financial statements referred to in Section 3.04(a), there are no liabilities of any Company of any kind, whether accrued, contingent, absolute, determined, determinable or otherwise, which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Since December 31, 2010, there has been no event, change, circumstance or occurrence that, individually or in the aggregate, has had or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(d) Forecasts. Any forecasts of financial performance of Borrower and its Subsidiaries furnished to the Lenders prior to the Closing Date have been prepared in good faith by Borrower and based on assumptions believed by Borrower to be reasonable at the time such forecasts are delivered (it being understood that forecasts are subject to uncertainties and contingencies and that no representation or warranty is given that any forecast will be realized).

SECTION 3.05 Properties.

(a) Generally. Each Company has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its property material to its business, free and clear of all Liens except for, in the case of Collateral, Permitted Liens and, in the case of all other material property, Permitted Liens and minor irregularities or deficiencies in title that, individually or in the aggregate, do not interfere in any material respect with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such property for its intended purpose. The property of the Companies, taken as a whole, (i) is in good operating order, condition and repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted), except to the extent that the failure to be in such condition could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and (ii) constitutes all the property which is required for the business and operations of the Companies as presently conducted.

(b) Real Property. Schedule 3.05(b) contains a true and complete list of each interest in Real Property (i) owned by any Company as of the Closing Date and describes the type of interest therein held by such Company and whether such owned Real Property is leased and if leased whether the underlying Lease contains any option to purchase all or any portion of such Real Property or any interest therein or contains any right of first refusal relating to any sale of such Real Property or any portion thereof or interest therein and (ii) leased, subleased, licensed or otherwise occupied or utilized by any Company, as lessee, sublessee, franchisee or licensee, as of the Closing Date and describes the type of interest therein held by such Company.

(c) No Casualty Event. As of the Closing Date, no Company has received any notice of, nor has any knowledge of, the occurrence or pendency or contemplation of any Casualty Event affecting all or any material portion of its property. In the case of any Mortgage executed and delivered after the Closing Date in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.10 and 5.11, no such Mortgage encumbers improved Real Property that is located in an area that has been identified by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development as an area having special flood hazards within the meaning of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 unless flood insurance available under such Act has been obtained in accordance with Section 5.04.

(d) Collateral. The use by each Company of the Collateral and all such rights with respect thereto do not infringe on the rights of any person other than such infringement which could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No claim has been made and remains outstanding that any Company’s use of any Collateral does or may violate the rights of any third party that could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.06 Intellectual Property.

(a) Ownership/No Claims. Each Loan Party owns, or is licensed to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trade names, service marks, copyrights, technology, trade secrets, proprietary information, domain names, know-how and processes necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted (the “Intellectual Property”), except for those the failure to own or

license which, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No written claim has been asserted and is pending by any person challenging or questioning the use of any such Intellectual Property or the validity or enforceability of any such Intellectual Property, nor does any Loan Party know of any valid basis for any such claim, except for such claims that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Registrations. Except pursuant to licenses and other user agreements entered into by each Loan Party in the ordinary course of business that, to the extent material, are listed in Schedule 3.06, and other than non-material licenses entered into by the Loan Parties in the ordinary course of business, on and as of the Closing Date each Loan Party owns and possesses the right to use, and has not authorized any other person to use, any Copyright, Patent or Trademark (as such terms are defined in the Security Agreement) listed in Schedule 3.06. All registrations listed in Schedule 3.06 are in full force and effect and, to Loan Parties’ knowledge, valid.

(c) No Violations or Proceedings. To each Loan Party’s knowledge, on and as of the Closing Date, there is no material violation by others of any right of such Loan Party with respect to any Copyright, Patent or Trademark listed in Schedule 3.06, pledged by it under the name of such Loan Party, except as may be set forth on Schedule 3.06(b).

SECTION 3.07 Equity Interests and Subsidiaries.

(a) Equity Interests. Schedule 3.07 correctly sets forth a list of (i) all the Subsidiaries of Borrower and their jurisdictions of organization as of the Closing Date, (ii) the number of each class of its Equity Interests authorized, and the number outstanding, on the Closing Date and (iii) the ownership interests of Borrower and its Guarantors in their respective Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date. All Equity Interests of each Company (other than any Foreign Subsidiary) are duly and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. Each Loan Party is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to, the Equity Interests pledged by it under the Security Agreement, free of any and all Liens, rights or claims of other persons, except the security interest created by the Security Agreement and other Permitted Liens, and, with respect to the Equity Interests of Borrower and its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries, except as set forth on Schedule 3.07, as of the Closing Date there are no outstanding subscriptions, warrants, options, rights or other agreements or commitments that require the issuance of any such Equity Interests.

(b) No Consent of Third Parties Required. No consent of any person including any other general or limited partner, any other member of a limited liability company, any other shareholder or any other trust beneficiary is necessary in connection with the creation or perfection of the security interest of the Collateral Agent in any Equity Interests pledged to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties under the Security Agreement or the exercise by the Collateral Agent of the voting or other rights provided for in the Security Agreement or the exercise of remedies in respect thereof, except as have been obtained.

(c) Organizational Chart. An organizational chart, showing the ownership structure of Borrower and each Subsidiary on the Closing Date is set forth on Schedule 3.07 and is accurate in all material respects as of the Closing Date.

SECTION 3.08 Litigation; Compliance with Laws.

(a) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.08, there are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority now pending or, to the knowledge of any

Company, threatened against or affecting any Company or any business, property or rights of any Company that could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Except for matters covered by Section 3.17, no Company or any of its property is in violation of, nor will the continued operation of its property as currently conducted violate, any Requirements of Law (including any zoning or building ordinance, code or approval or any building permits) or any restrictions of record or agreements affecting any Company’s Real Property or is in default with respect to any Requirement of Law, where such violation or default, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.09 Federal Reserve Regulations. No Company is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of buying or carrying Margin Stock. No part of the proceeds of any Loan or any Letter of Credit will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, for any purpose that entails a violation of, or that is inconsistent with, the provisions of the regulations of the Board, including Regulation T, U or X.

SECTION 3.10 Investment Company Act. No Company is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” as defined in, or subject to registration under, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

SECTION 3.11 Use of Proceeds. Borrower will use the proceeds of Revolving Loans made after the Closing Date for ongoing working capital requirements of Borrower and its Subsidiaries and other general corporate purposes, including the financing of capital expenditures, Earn-Out Obligations and Permitted Acquisitions.

SECTION 3.12 Taxes. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.12, each Company has (a) timely filed or caused to be timely filed all material Tax Returns required to have been filed by it and all such Tax Returns are true and correct in all material respects and (b) duly and timely paid, collected or remitted or caused to be duly and timely paid, collected or remitted all material taxes (whether or not shown on any Tax Return) due and payable, collectible or remittable by it and all assessments received by it, except taxes (i) that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which such Company has set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP or (ii) which could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Company is unaware of any proposed or pending tax assessments, deficiencies or audits that could be reasonably expected to, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.13 No Material Misstatements. No written information, report, financial statement, certificate, Borrowing Request, LC Request, exhibit or schedule furnished by or on behalf of any Company to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of any Loan Document or included therein or delivered pursuant thereto, taken as a whole, contained any material misstatement of fact or omitted or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were or are made, not misleading in any material respect as of the date such information is dated or certified; provided that to the extent any such information, report, financial statement, exhibit or schedule was based upon or constitutes a forecast or projection or pro forma adjustment, each Company represents only that it acted in good faith and utilized reasonable assumptions and due care in the preparation of such information, report, financial statement, exhibit or schedule (it being understood that forecasts are subject to uncertainties and contingencies and that no representation or warranty is given that any forecast will be realized).

SECTION 3.14 Labor Matters. As of the Closing Date, there are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against any Company pending or, to the knowledge of any Company, threatened. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.14, the hours worked by and payments made to employees of any Company have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, or any other applicable federal, state, local or foreign law dealing with such matters in any manner which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. All payments due from any Company, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of such Company except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.15 Solvency. Immediately following the making of each Loan and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of each Loan, (a) the fair value of the assets of Borrower (on a consolidated basis with its Subsidiaries which for this purpose shall include rights of contribution in respect of obligations for which Borrower or such Subsidiary has provided a guarantee) will exceed its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise; (b) the present fair saleable value of the assets of Borrower (on a consolidated basis with its Subsidiaries which for this purpose shall include rights of contribution in respect of obligations for which Borrower or such Subsidiary has provided a guarantee) will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of its debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (c) Borrower (on a consolidated basis with its Subsidiaries) will be able to pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured (the valuation of contingent debts and liabilities being computed in light of all facts and circumstances existing on the date hereof that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or material liability); and (d) Borrower (on a consolidated basis with its Subsidiaries) will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct its business in which it is engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted following the Closing Date.

SECTION 3.16 Employee Benefit Plans. Each Plan is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events, could reasonably be expected to result in material liability of any Company or any of its ERISA Affiliates or the imposition of a Lien on any of the property of any Company. Using actuarial assumptions and computation methods consistent with subpart I of subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA, the aggregate liabilities of each Company or its ERISA Affiliates to all Multiemployer Plans in the event of a complete withdrawal therefrom, as of the close of the most recent fiscal year of each such Multiemployer Plan, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.17 Environmental Matters. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.17 and except as, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect:

(a) The Companies and their businesses, operations and Real Property are in compliance with, and the Companies have no liability under, any applicable Environmental Law;

All insurance maintained by the Companies is in full force and effect, all premiums have been duly paid, no Company has received notice of violation or cancellation thereof, except, in such case, where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Company’s Real Property (if any), and the use, occupancy and operation thereof, comply in all material respects with all Insurance Requirements, and there exists no default under any Insurance Requirement (if any are applicable), in each case, to the extent the same could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Company has insurance in such amounts and covering such risks and liabilities as are customary for companies of a similar size engaged in similar businesses in similar locations.

SECTION 3.19 Security Documents.

(a) Security Agreement. The Security Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, legal, valid and enforceable Liens on, and security interests in, the Security Agreement Collateral. The Liens created by such Security Agreement constitute fully perfected Liens on, and security interests in, all right, title and interest of the grantors in the Security Agreement Collateral (other than such Security Agreement Collateral in which a security interest cannot be perfected under the UCC as in effect at the relevant time in the relevant jurisdiction), in each case subject to no Liens other than Permitted Liens. Upon execution and delivery of the Security

As of the Closing Date, the Borrower has not delivered any officers’ certificate to the Collateral Agent designating any Indebtedness as “Priority Payment Lien Obligations” or “Pari Passu Payment Lien Obligations” under the Indenture other than the Designation Certificates.

In the case of any Mortgage executed and delivered after the Closing Date in accordance with the provisions of Sections 5.10 and 5.11, if any, such Mortgage is effective to create, in favor of the Collateral Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the Secured Parties, valid and enforceable Liens (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or such Security Document) on, and security interests in, all of the Loan Parties’ right, title and interest in and to the Mortgaged Properties thereunder and the proceeds thereof, subject only to Permitted Liens or other Liens acceptable to the Administrative Agent, and when such Mortgage is filed in the offices specified in the local counsel opinion delivered with respect thereto in accordance with the provisions of Sections 5.10 and 5.11, such Mortgage shall constitute fully perfected Liens on, and security interests in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in the Mortgaged Properties and the proceeds thereof, in each case prior and superior in right to any other person, other than Permitted Liens.

(d) Valid Liens. Each Security Document delivered pursuant to Sections 5.10 and 5.11 will, upon execution and delivery thereof, be effective to create in favor of the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, valid and enforceable Liens on, and security interests in, all of the Loan Parties’ right, title and interest in and to the Collateral thereunder, and (i) when all appropriate filings or recordings are made in the appropriate offices as may be required under applicable law and (ii) upon the taking of possession or control by the Collateral Agent of such Collateral with respect to which a security interest may be perfected only by possession or control (which possession or control shall be given to the Collateral Agent to the extent required by any Security Document), such Security Document will constitute fully perfected Liens on, and security interests in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral, in each case subject to no Liens other than the applicable Permitted Liens.

The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree that if Borrower or other Guarantor(s) shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantors will promptly pay the same in cash, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the

case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

SECTION 7.02 Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 7.01 shall constitute a guaranty of payment and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or Guarantor (except for payment in full). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Guarantors hereunder which shall remain absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above:

(i) at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Guarantors, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

(iii) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be amended in any respect, or any right under the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be amended or waived in any respect or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;

(iv) any Lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, any Issuing Bank or any Lender or the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected; or

(v) the release of any other Guarantor pursuant to Section 7.08.

The Guarantors hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any Secured Party exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against Borrower under this Agreement or the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantors waive any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver, termination or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee, and the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Guarantee, and all dealings between Borrower and the Secured Parties shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee. This Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to any right of offset with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations at any time or from time to time held by Secured Parties, and the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Secured Parties or any other

person at any time of any right or remedy against Borrower or against any other person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or against any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto. This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Guarantors and the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of this Agreement there may be no Guaranteed Obligations outstanding.

Any Indebtedness of any Loan Party permitted pursuant to Section 6.01(d) shall be subordinated to such Loan Party’s Secured Obligations in the manner set forth in the Intercompany Note evidencing such Indebtedness.

SECTION 7.05 Remedies. The Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Guarantors and the Lenders, the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes, if any, may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 8.01 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 8.01) for purposes of Section 7.01, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 7.01.

SECTION 7.06 Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Article VII is a continuing guarantee of payment, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.

SECTION 7.07 General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state, corporate limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under Section 7.01 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 7.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Loan Party or any other person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 7.09) that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

SECTION 7.08 Release of Guarantors. Any Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations under this Agreement (including under Section 10.03 hereof) (a) if, in compliance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents, all or substantially all of the property

of any Guarantor is sold or otherwise transferred to a person or persons, none of which is Borrower or a Subsidiary, (b) if such Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Borrower as a result of a transaction otherwise permitted by the Loan Documents, (c) if such Guarantor is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or otherwise ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary, in each case in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, upon effectiveness of such designation or when if first ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary, respectively or (d) upon termination of the aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (A) obligations under Hedging Agreements not yet due and payable and (B) contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit that are not cash collateralized.

(g) an involuntary proceeding shall be commenced or an involuntary petition shall be filed in a court of competent jurisdiction seeking (i) relief in respect of any of Borrower or any Significant Subsidiary or any group of Guarantors that, taken together as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for Borrower, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, or of a substantial part of the property of such person, under Title 11 of the U.S. Code, as now constituted or hereafter amended, or any other federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law; (ii) the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator, conservator or similar official for any of Borrower or any Significant Subsidiary or any group of Guarantors that, taken together as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for Borrower, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary or for a substantial part of the property of such person; or (iii) the winding-up or liquidation of any of Borrower or any Significant Subsidiary or any group of Guarantors that, taken together as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for Borrower, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary; and such proceeding or petition shall continue undismissed for 60 days or an order or decree approving or ordering any of the foregoing shall be entered;

(h) any of Borrower or any Significant Subsidiary or any group of Guarantors that, taken together as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for Borrower, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary shall (i) voluntarily commence any proceeding or file any petition seeking relief under Title 11 of the United States Code, as now constituted or hereafter amended, or any other federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law; (ii) consent to the institution of, or fail to contest in a timely and appropriate manner, any proceeding or the filing of any petition described in clause (g) above; (iii) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator, conservator or similar official for any of Borrower or any Significant Subsidiary or any group of Guarantors that, taken together as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for Borrower, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, or for a substantial part of the property of such person or group; (iv) file an answer admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against it in any such proceeding; (v) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (vi) become unable, admit in writing its inability or fail generally to pay its debts as they become due; (vii) take any action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing; or (viii) wind up or liquidate, except as permitted under Section 6.04;

(j) one or more ERISA Events shall have occurred that, in the opinion of the Required Lenders, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect;

(k) except to the extent resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent so long as not resulting from the breach or non-compliance with any Loan Document by any Loan Party, (i) any security interest and Lien purported to be created by any Security Document shall cease to be in full force and effect, or shall cease to give the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the Liens, rights, powers and privileges purported to be created and granted under such Security Document in favor of the Collateral Agent, or shall be asserted by Borrower or any other Loan Party not to be a valid and perfected (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or such Security Document) security interest in or Lien on the Collateral covered thereby, (ii) the Designation Certificates shall cease to be in full force and effect, or (iii) the Obligations owing to the Tranche A Revolving Lenders shall cease to be “Priority Lien Obligations” (as defined in the Security Agreement) or the Obligations owing to the Tranche B Revolving Loans, shall cease to be “Pari Passu Payment Lien Obligations” (as defined in the Security Agreement);

(l) any Loan Document or any material provisions thereof shall at any time and for any reason be declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be null and void, or a proceeding shall be commenced by Borrower or any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Guarantors that, taken together as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for Borrower, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary seeking to establish the invalidity or unenforceability thereof (exclusive of questions of interpretation of any provision thereof), or any such person repudiates or denies any portion of its liability or obligation for the Obligations or, if applicable, its Guarantee under Article VII for any reason, other than as permitted hereunder; or

(m) there shall have occurred a Change in Control;

then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to Borrower described in paragraph (g) or (h) above), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to Borrower, take either or both of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate forthwith the Commitments and (ii) declare the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding to be forthwith due and payable in whole or in part, whereupon the principal of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other Obligations of Borrower accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall become forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower and the Guarantors, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding; and in any event, with respect to Borrower described in paragraph (g) or (h) above, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the principal of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued Fees and all other Obligations of Borrower accrued hereunder and under any other Loan Document, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower and the Guarantors, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

101

SECTION 8.02 Rescission. If at any time after termination of the Commitments or acceleration of the maturity of the Loans, Borrower shall pay all arrears of interest and all payments on account of principal of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations owing by it that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on principal and, to the extent permitted by law, on overdue interest, at the rates specified herein) and all Defaults (other than non-payment of principal of and accrued interest on the Loans due and payable solely by virtue of acceleration) shall be remedied or waived pursuant to Section 10.02, then upon the written consent of the Required Lenders and written notice to Borrower, the termination of the Commitments or the acceleration and their consequences may be rescinded and annulled; but such action shall not affect any subsequent Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon. The provisions of the preceding sentence are intended merely to bind the Lenders and the Issuing Banks to a decision that may be made at the election of the Required Lenders, and such provisions are not intended to benefit Borrower and do not give Borrower the right to require the Lenders to rescind or annul any acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are met.

SECTION 8.03 Right to Cure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.01, in the event that Borrower fails to comply with the requirements of any financial covenant set forth in Section 6.08, until the expiration of the 10^th Business Day subsequent to the date the certificate calculating compliance with such financial covenant is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(c), Parent shall have the right to issue Permitted Cure Securities for cash or otherwise receive cash contributions to the capital of Parent, and in each case, to contribute any such cash to the capital of Borrower (collectively, the “Cure Right”), and upon the receipt by Borrower of such cash (the “Cure Amount”) pursuant to the exercise by Parent of such Cure Right and written notice to the Administrative Agent, such financial covenant shall be recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma adjustments:

(a) Consolidated EBITDA shall be increased, solely for the purpose of measuring the financial covenant and not for any other purpose under this Agreement, by an amount equal to the Cure Amount; and

(b) If, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations, Borrower shall be in compliance with the requirements of all financial covenant set forth in Section 6.08, Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of Section 6.08 as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or Default of such financial covenant that had occurred shall be deemed cured for purposes of this Agreement; and

(c) To the extent a fiscal quarter ended for which such financial covenant is initially recalculated as a result of a Cure Right is included in the calculation of such financial covenant in a subsequent fiscal period, the Cure Amount shall be included in the amount of Consolidated EBITDA for such fiscal quarter in such subsequent fiscal period;

provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) in each four-fiscal quarter period, there shall be at least two fiscal quarters in which the Cure Right is not exercised, (ii) the Cure Right may be exercised no more than five times during the term of this Agreement, (iii) for purposes of this Section 8.03, the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required for purposes of curing the non-compliance with financial covenant set forth in Section 6.08 and (iv) the Cure Amount will be disregarded for all other purposes under the Loan Documents (including calculating Consolidated EBITDA for purposes of determining basket levels and other items governed by reference to Consolidated EBITDA); provided, further that upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a notice from Borrower that it intends to exercise the Cure Right (a “Notice of Intent to Cure”), until the 10^th Business Day following date of required delivery of the related Compliance Certificate to which such Notice of

102

Intent to Cure relates, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall exercise the right to accelerate the Loans or terminate or suspend the Commitments and neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Lender shall exercise any right to foreclose on or take possession of the Collateral solely on the basis of an allegation of an Event of Default having occurred and being continuing under Article VIII due to failure by Borrower to comply with the requirements of Section 6.08 for the applicable Test Period.

ARTICLE IX

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

SECTION 9.01 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and each of the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Bank USA, to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and appoints Wilmington Trust FSB, to act on its behalf as the Collateral Agent under the applicable Security Documents and authorizes such Agents to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agents by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each of the Lenders and each of the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver the Security Agreement Joinder and to enter into such other documents as shall be necessary to give effect to (i) the ranking and priority of Indebtedness contemplated by the Security Agreement and (ii) the Collateral contemplated by the other Security Documents, on its behalf. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender agrees to be bound by the terms of the Security Agreement to the same extent as if it were a party thereto. Except as provided in Section 9.06 and Section 9.09, the provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, and in the case of this Section 9.01, the Collateral Agent, and neither Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

SECTION 9.02 Rights as a Lender. The Administrative Agent 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 the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Lender. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

SECTION 9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall have no duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its judgment or the judgment of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Requirements of Law; and

103

(iii) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the person 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 (x) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02) or (y) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by Borrower, a Lender or an Issuing Bank.

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 or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document 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. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “Agent” or “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term us used merely as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

SECTION 9.04 Reliance by 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 (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated 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 have been made by the proper person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for 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.

SECTION 9.05 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through, or delegate any and all such rights and powers to, any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory

104

provisions of this Article 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.

SECTION 9.06 Resignation and Removal of Administrative Agent. (a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with, so long as no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, the consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above, provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuing Bank directly, until such time as the Required Lenders (with, so long as no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, the consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld)) appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph). The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article IX and Section 10.03 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 the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9.07 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any 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 further represents and warrants that it has reviewed each document made available to it on the Platform in connection with this Agreement and has acknowledged and accepted the terms and conditions applicable to the recipients thereof. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any 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 other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION 9.08 No Other Duties, etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the joint bookrunners, Arrangers, or Syndication Agent listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank hereunder.

105

SECTION 9.09 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders irrevocably agree:

(a) that any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties under any Loan Document shall be automatically released (i) upon termination of the aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (A) obligations under Hedging Agreements not yet due and payable and (B) contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit that are not cash collateralized, (ii) at the time the property subject to such Lien is transferred or to be transferred as part of or in connection with any transfer permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any person other than Borrower or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries (to the extent not prohibited under the Security Agreement), (iii) subject to Section 10.01, if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders or, with respect to the release of all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents, by each Lender or (iv) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Guarantor, upon release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Guaranty pursuant to clause (c) below (provided, that if such Guarantor (1) is released from its obligations under its Guaranty as a result of all or substantially all of its property being sold or otherwise transferred to a person or persons none of which is Borrower or a Subsidiary or (2) ceases to be a Subsidiary of Borrower as a result of a transaction otherwise permitted by the Loan Documents, such sale or transfer or transaction, as applicable, is not prohibited under the Security Agreement);

(b) to release or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by clauses (b), (g) and (i) of Section 6.02;

(c) that any Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations under the Guarantee in accordance with Section 7.08; and

(d) upon request of the Borrower at any time after the Obligations under the Senior Notes and Indenture have been satisfied in full, and solely to the extent permitted under the Security Agreement, to authorize the Administrative Agent to amend and modify the Security Agreement to provide that the Liens created thereunder on the Collateral or any portion thereof shall automatically terminate and be released without further actions by any person upon (i) such Guarantor being designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or otherwise ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) the release of such Lien being approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders or, with respect to the release of all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents, by each Lender.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s and/or Collateral Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.09. In each case as specified in this Section 9.09, the Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent will promptly (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to), at Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release or subordination of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Loan Documents, or to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee, in each case in accordance with, and subject to the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.09.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any document required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.01 or Section 5.02 may be delivered electronically and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date (i) on which Borrower posts such documents, or provides a link thereto on Borrower’s website on the Internet at the website address listed in Section 10.01; or (ii) on which such documents are posted on Borrowers’ behalf on an Internet (including the SEC’s ▇▇▇▇▇ site) or intranet website, if any, to which the Administrative Agent has access (whether a commercial, third-party website or whether sponsored by the Administrative Agent); provided that Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (by facsimile or electronic mail) of the posting of any such documents and provide to the Administrative Agent by electronic mail electronic versions (i.e., soft copies) of such documents if so requested by the Administrative Agent. In addition, each Loan Party agrees to continue to provide the Communications to the Administrative Agent in the manner specified in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in such other form, including hard copy delivery thereof, as the Administrative Agent shall require. Nothing in this Section 10.01 shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Loan Party to give any notice or other communication pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any other manner specified in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or as any such Agent shall require.

To the extent consented to by the Administrative Agent in writing from time to time, Administrative Agent agrees that receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address(es) set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents; provided that Borrower shall also deliver to the Administrative Agent an executed original of each Compliance Certificate required to be delivered hereunder.

Each Loan Party further agrees that (a) the Administrative Agent will make available to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of Borrower hereunder (collectively, the “Borrower Materials”) by posting Borrower Materials on the Platform and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to Borrower or its securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). Borrower hereby agrees that (w) all Borrower Materials that are to be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x) by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC,” Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to treat such Borrower Materials as not containing any material non-public information with respect to Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section 10.12); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor;” and (z) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to treat any

109

Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Borrower Materials shall be marked “PUBLIC”, unless Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent promptly that any such document contains material non-public information: (1) the Loan Documents and (2) notification of changes in the terms of the Facilities.

Each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including United States Federal and state securities laws, to make reference to Communications that are not made available through the “Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws.

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. NEITHER THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT NOR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES WARRANTS THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS IS MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS RELATED PARTIES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR NOT BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY AND INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY SUCH PERSON IS FOUND IN A FINAL RULING BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM SUCH PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

SECTION 10.02 Waivers; Amendment.

(a) Generally. No failure or delay by any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document 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 each Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by this Section 10.02, 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 or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

110

(b) Required Consents. Subject to Section 10.02(c), and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Borrower and the Required Lenders or, in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent (in the case of any Security Document) and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are party thereto, in each case with the written consent of the Required Lenders (or, in the case of clause (b)(iii)(D) of the following proviso, the Required Tranche A Revolving Lenders and not the Required Lenders); provided that no such agreement shall be effective if the effect thereof would:

(i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that no amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any condition precedent, covenant or Default shall constitute an increase in the Commitment of any Lender);

(ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon (other than interest pursuant to Section 2.06(c)), or reduce any Fees payable hereunder, or change the form or currency of payment of any Obligation, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

(iii) (A) change the scheduled final maturity of any Loan, (B) postpone the date for payment of any interest or Fees payable hereunder (other than waiver of any increases in the interest rate pursuant to Section 2.06(c)), (C) change the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment (other than waiver of any increase in the interest rate pursuant to Section 2.06(c)), (D) postpone the date for payment of any Reimbursement Obligation or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Maturity Date or (E) postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, in any case, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

(iv) increase the maximum duration of Interest Periods hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

(v) permit the assignment by Borrower of any of its rights or obligations under any Loan Document, without the written consent of each Lender (except as permitted pursuant to Section 6.04);

(vi) release all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their Guarantee (except as expressly provided in Article VII), or limit their liability in respect of such Guarantee, without the written consent of each Lender;

(vii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents or alter the relative priorities of the Secured Obligations entitled to the Liens of the Security Documents, in each case without the written consent of each Lender;

(viii) change any provision of this Section 10.02(b) or Section 10.02(c), without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby (except for additional restrictions on amendments or waivers for the benefit of Lenders consented to by the Required Lenders);

111

(ix) change the percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders,” “Required Class Lenders,” “Required Tranche A Revolving Lenders”, “Required Tranche B Revolving Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document (including this Section) specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (or each Lender of such Class, as the case may be), other than to increase such percentage or number or to give any additional Lender or group of Lenders such right to waive, amend or modify or make any such determination or grant any such consent;

(x) change or waive any provision of the Security Agreement without the written consent of the Required Tranche A Revolving Lenders and the Required Tranche B Revolving Lenders;

(xi) change or waive any provision of Article IX as the same applies to any Agent, or any other provision hereof as the same applies to the rights or obligations of any Agent, in each case without the written consent of such Agent;

(xii) change or waive any obligation of the Lenders relating to (A) the issuance of Letters of Credit, without the written consent of each Issuing Bank or (B) the purchase of participations in Letters of Credit, without the written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank;

(xiii) expressly change or waive any condition precedent in Section 4.03 to any Tranche B Revolving Borrowing without the written consent of the Required Tranche B Revolving Lenders (it being understood that neither a waiver of a Default or Event of Default nor an amendment of any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall require the separate consent of the Required Tranche B Revolving Lenders under this clause (xiii)); or

(xiv) permit or cause the Obligations owing to the Tranche A Revolving Lenders not to constitute “Priority Lien Obligations” under the Security Agreement without the consent of each Tranche A Revolving Lender or permit or cause the Obligations owing to the Tranche B Revolving Lenders not to constitute at least “Pari Passu Payment Lien Obligations” under the Security Agreement without the consent of each Tranche B Revolving Lender.

(c) Dissenting Lenders. If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of the provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by Section 10.02(b), the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then Borrower shall have the right to replace all, but not less than all, of such non-consenting Lender or Lenders (so long as all non-consenting Lenders are so replaced) with one or more persons pursuant to Section 2.15 so long as at the time of such replacement each such new Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination. Each Lender agrees that, if Borrower elects to replace such Lender in accordance with this Section, it shall promptly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption to evidence such sale and purchase and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Note (if Notes have been issued in respect of such Lender’s Loans) subject to such Assignment and Assumption; provided that the failure of any such non-consenting Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register.

112

SECTION 10.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) Costs and Expenses. Borrower shall pay from time to time upon demand on and after the Closing Date (i) all reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent (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 (including the obtaining and maintaining of CUSIP numbers for the Loans), the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendment, amendment and restatement, modification or waiver of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), including in connection with post-closing searches to confirm that security filings and recordations have been properly made, (ii) all reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, and (iii) all reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank (including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for the Administrative Agent, Lenders and Issuing Bank and, if necessary, one local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for all such persons (and in the case of an actual conflict of interest, where the person affected by such conflict informs Borrower of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another counsel for such person)), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section 10.03, or (B) in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

(b) Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, 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 the reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket fees and expenses related thereto (including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for all Indemnitees and, if necessary, one local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for all Indemnitees (and in the case of an actual conflict of interest, where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict informs Borrower of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another counsel for such Indemnitee)) incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the following, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any amendment, amendment and restatement, modification or waiver of the provisions hereof or thereof, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein or any enforcement of any of the Credit Documents (including any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon any of the Collateral or the enforcement of the Guarantee)), (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), or (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials on, at, under or from any property owned, leased or operated by any Company at any time, or any Environmental Claim related in any way to any Company; provided

113

that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available solely 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 bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. For the avoidance of doubt, paragraph (a) and (b) of this Section 10.03 shall not apply in respect of Taxes, which shall instead be governed by Section 2.14.

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that Borrower for any reason fails to pay any amount required under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 10.03 to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any Issuing Bank or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuing Bank or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (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 (or any such sub-agent) or any Issuing Bank in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), or any Issuing Bank in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.13. For purposes hereof, a Lender’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the total Tranche A Revolving Exposure, Tranche B Revolving Exposure and unused Commitments at the time (in each case, as determined as if no Lender was a Defaulting Lender).

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, no party to this Agreement shall assert, and each party hereto hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No party hereto shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(e) Each Loan Party also agrees that no Indemnitee will have any liability to any Loan Party or any person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of any Loan Party or any other person in connection with or as a result of this Agreement or any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, in each case, except in the case of any Loan Party solely 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 bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee; provided, however, that in no event will such Indemnitee have any liability for any indirect, consequential, special or punitive damages in connection with or as a result of such Lender’s, the Administrative Agent’s or their respective Affiliates’, directors’, employees’, attorneys’, agents’ or sub-agents’ activities related to this Agreement or any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein.

(f) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than five Business Days after demand therefor.

114

SECTION 10.04 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. 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 Borrower (other than as provided in Section 6.04(c)) may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section 10.04, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section 10.04 or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by Borrower or any Lender shall be null and void). 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 (d) of this Section, the Collateral Agent and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the other Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible 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); provided that

(i) except in the case of any assignment of the Commitment and Loans made (A) by or to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Bank USA or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Lynch, Pierce, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ Incorporated or (B) of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the 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 or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $2.5 million unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), (g) or (h) has occurred and is continuing, Borrower otherwise consents in writing (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and Borrower shall have been deemed to consent to any such assignment if it has not responded within ten Business Days);

(ii) 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 with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate tranches on a non-pro rata basis; and

(iii) 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 (which fee may be waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), and the Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and all relevant tax forms.

115

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 10.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement 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 2.11, 2.12, 2.14 and 10.03 (subject to the requirements of those Sections) with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph 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 (d) of this Section 10.04.

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States 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 Commitments of, and principal amounts of and stated interest on the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive (absent manifest error), and Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall 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 Borrower, any Issuing Bank, the Collateral Agent and any Lender (with respect to (i) any entry relating to such Lender’s Loans or (ii) the identity of the other Lender’s (but not any information with respect to such other Lenders’ Loans) during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Banks sell participations to any person (other than a natural person or Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and Issuing Banks 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 the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first proviso to Section 10.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (e) of this Section 10.04, Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11, 2.12 and 2.14 (subject to the requirements of those Sections) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 10.04. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender.

Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, maintain a register in the United States on which it enters the name and address of each

116

Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(e) Limitations on Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.11, 2.12 and 2.14 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 Borrower’s prior written consent.

(f) Certain Pledges. 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 any pledge or assignment of a security interest to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or collateral assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. In the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans, such Lender may, without the consent of Borrower or the Administrative Agent, collaterally assign or pledge all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, including the Loans and Notes or any other instrument evidencing its rights as a Lender under this Agreement, to any holder of, trustee for, or any other representative of holders of, obligations owed or securities issued, by such fund, as security for such obligations or securities; provided that, with respect to Revolving Loans, the documentation governing or evidencing such collateral assignment or pledge shall provide that any foreclosure or similar action by such trustee or representative shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 10.04 concerning assignments and shall not be effective to transfer any rights under this Agreement or in any Revolving Loan under this Agreement unless the requirements of this Section 10.04 concerning assignments are fully satisfied.

(g) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable Requirement of Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

SECTION 10.05 Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Agents, the Issuing Banks 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 or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long

117

as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.11, 2.13, 2.14 and Article X shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the payment of the Reimbursement Obligations, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof; provided that with respect to Section 10.12, the survival thereof shall expire upon the one year anniversary of the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 10.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents 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. 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 that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.

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 or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) Waiver of Venue. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, 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 or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in Section 10.09(b). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Service of Process. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, in the manner provided for notices (other than telecopier or electronic mail) in Section 10.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Requirements of Law.

SECTION 10.10 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of 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, any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (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.

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 10.13 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name, address and tax identification number of each Loan Party and other information regarding each Loan Party that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. This notice is given in accordance with the requirements of the Patriot Act and is effective as to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 10.14 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 Requirements of Law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted

120

for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable Requirements of 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 therefor) 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 10.15 [Reserved].

SECTION 10.16 Obligations Absolute. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, all obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

(a) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or the like of any Loan Party;

(b) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto against any Loan Party;

(c) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(d) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any other Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from any guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations;

(e) any exercise or non-exercise, or any waiver of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect hereof or any Loan Document; or

(f) any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Loan Parties.

SECTION 10.17 No Fiduciary Duty. The Administrative Agent, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Parties, their equityholders and/or their affiliates. Each Loan Party agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and such Loan Party, its equityholders or its affiliates, on the other. The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Loan Party, its equityholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Loan Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Loan Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other person. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial

121

advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Loan Party agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Loan Party, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

SECTION 10.18 Security Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the terms of this Agreement are expressly subject to the terms of the Security Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Security Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Security Agreement shall govern.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Revolving Credit Agreement.

Borrower hereby gives you notice pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Revolving Credit Agreement that it requests a Borrowing under the Revolving Credit Agreement, and in that connection sets forth below the terms on which such Borrowing is requested to be made:


(A) Class of Borrowing		[Tranche A Revolving Loans] [Tranche B Revolving Loans]

C-1


(B) Principal amount of Borrowing¹

(C) Date of Borrowing (which is a Business Day)

(D) Type of Borrowing		[ABR] [Eurodollar]

(E) For Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period and the last day thereof²

(F) Funds are requested to be disbursed to Borrower’s account with [BANK] (Account No. ).

We hereby certify that:

(1) The undersigned is in compliance in all material respects with all the terms and provisions set forth in each Loan Document on its part to be observed or performed, and, as of today and at the time of and immediately after giving effect to the Borrowing requested herein and the application of the proceeds thereof, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(2) Each of the representations and warranties made by the undersigned set forth in Article III of the Revolving Credit Agreement or in any Loan Document are true and correct in all material respects (except that any representation and warranty that is qualified as to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of today’s date and with the same effect as though made on and as of today’s date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case, such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct as of such prior date.

As of the date hereof, after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions, including the making of the Loans (if any) under the Revolving Credit Agreement on the date hereof, and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of such Loans:

The fair value of the assets of Borrower (on a consolidated basis with its Subsidiaries which for this purpose shall include rights of contribution in respect of obligations for which Borrower or such Subsidiary has provided a guarantee) will exceed its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise;

The present fair saleable value of the assets of Borrower (on a consolidated basis with its Subsidiaries which for this purpose shall include rights of contribution in respect of obligations for which Borrower or such Subsidiary has provided a guarantee) will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of its debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured;

Borrower (on a consolidated basis with its Subsidiaries) will be able to pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured (the valuation of contingent debts and liabilities being computed in light of all facts and circumstances existing on the date hereof that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or material liability); and

Borrower (on a consolidated basis with its Subsidiaries) does not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct its business in which it is engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted following the Closing Date.
