Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, on the First Amendment Effective Date, each Additional Term Lender that has delivered an Additional Term Loan Commitment for Term Loans to be made on the First Amendment Effective Date severally agrees to make an Additional Term Loan to the Borrower on the First Amendment Effective Date in an amount equal to its proportionate share, based on all Effective Date Additional Term Loan Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Additional Term Lender that has delivered an Additional Term Loan Commitment for Term Loans to be made on any date after the First Amendment Effective Date (each, a “Delayed Draw Date”) that is prior to the Delayed Draw Availability Expiration Date shall make an Additional Term Loan to the Borrower on such Delayed Draw Date in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) its remaining unfunded Additional Term Loan Commitment and (ii) its proportionate share, based on all such unfunded Additional Term Loan Commitments, of $35,000,000; provided, however, that there shall be no more than three (3) Delayed Draw Dates. The Term Loans shall be either

Eurodollar Loans or Base Rate Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 2.2 and 4.3.

The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by the Administrative Agent prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, (a) one Business Day prior to the Original Closing Date or the anticipated First Amendment Effective Date or Delayed Draw Date (as applicable) in the case of Base Rate Loans and (b) three Business Days prior to the Original Closing Date or the anticipated First Amendment Effective Date or Delayed Draw Date (as applicable) in the case of Eurodollar Loans) requesting that the Term Lenders make the Term Loans on the Original Closing Date, the First Amendment Effective Date or Delayed Draw Date, as the case may be, and specifying the amount to be borrowed. Upon receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Term Lender thereof. Not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Original Closing Date, the First Amendment Effective Date or the Delayed Draw Date, as applicable, each Term Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to the Term Loan or Term Loans to be made by such Lender. The Administrative Agent shall credit the account of the Borrower on the books of such office of the Administrative Agent with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Term Lenders in immediately available funds.

2.3. Conversion of Existing Term Loans. Each Converting Term Lender severally agrees that, upon the First Amendment Effective Date, such Converting Lender’s Existing Term Loans shall be converted into Converted Term Loans in the amount set forth in its Conversion Notice and shall constitute, with all Additional Term Loans, outstanding Term Loans.

2.4. Repayment of Term Loans. The Term Loan of each Term Lender shall mature and be payable in full on the date that is seven years after the Original Closing Date and shall be repayable prior to that date in consecutive quarterly installments, each of which shall be in an amount equal to such Lender’s Term Percentage of 0.25% of the aggregate Term Commitments on the First Amendment Effective Date, less the amount of Term Commitments canceled, reduced or terminated on or before the Delayed Draw Availability Expiration Date, due commencing on December 31, 2006 and continuing on the last day of each consecutive March, June, September and December thereafter.

2.5. First Amendment Effective Date True-Up.

All amounts applied to reduced the Term Loans outstanding to any Converted Term Lender to effectuate such apportionment (i) may be reborrowed, subject to the terms and conditions applicable to a borrowing of Delayed Draw Term Loans hereunder, and (ii) shall be payable with any indemnification due under Section 4.11.

SECTION 3. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF REVOLVING COMMITMENTS

3.1. Revolving Commitments. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans (“Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Commitment Period in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding which, when added to such Lender’s Revolving Extensions of Credit then outstanding, does not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Revolving Loans that are repaid

may be reborrowed during the Revolving Commitment Period, subject to the terms and conditions hereof. The Revolving Loans may from time to time be Eurodollar Loans or Base Rate Loans, as determined by the Borrower and notified to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Sections 3.2 and 4.3.

(b) The Borrower shall repay all outstanding Revolving Loans on the Revolving Termination Date.

3.2. Procedure for Revolving Loan Borrowing.

Each borrowing under the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount equal to (x) in the case of Base Rate Loans, $250,000 or a whole multiple thereof and (y) in the case of Eurodollar Loans, $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof. Upon receipt of any such notice from the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof. Each Revolving Lender will make the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower at the Funding Office prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the Borrowing Date requested by the Borrower in funds immediately available to the Administrative Agent. Such amounts will then be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent crediting an account of the Borrower maintained by the Administrative Agent, in like amounts and funds as received by the Administrative Agent.

3.3. Swingline Commitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender agrees to make a portion of the credit otherwise available to the Borrower under the Revolving Commitments from time to time during the Revolving Commitment Period by making swing line loans (“Swingline Loans”) to the Borrower; provided, that (i) the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Swingline Commitment Amount, (ii) the Borrower shall not request any Swingline Loan if, after giving effect to the making of such Swingline Loan, the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero, and (iii) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make any Swingline Loans under this Section 3.3 at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Subject to the foregoing, Swingline Loans may be repaid and reborrowed from time to time.

(b) Swingline Loans shall be Base Rate Loans only.

(c) The Borrower shall repay all outstanding Swingline Loans (i) on each Borrowing Date for Revolving Loans, (ii) on the Revolving Termination Date and (iii) on demand by the Swingline Lender at any time when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

3.4. Procedure for Swingline Borrowing; Refunding of Swingline Loans. (a) Whenever the Borrower desires that the Swingline Lender make Swingline Loans it shall give the Swingline Lender irrevocable telephonic notice confirmed promptly in writing (which telephonic notice must be received by the Swingline Lender not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the proposed Borrowing Date), specifying (i) the amount to be borrowed and (ii) the requested Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day during the Revolving Commitment Period). Each borrowing of Swingline Loans shall be in an amount equal to $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Not later than

3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Borrowing Date specified in a notice in respect of Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to the amount of the Swingline Loan to be made by the Swingline Lender. The Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Swingline Loan available to the Borrower on such Borrowing Date by depositing such proceeds in the account of the Borrower with the Administrative Agent on such Borrowing Date in immediately available funds.

(b) The Swingline Lender may at any time, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lender to do so), request a borrowing of Revolving Loans in an amount equal to the aggregate outstanding Swingline Loans and apply the proceeds of such borrowing to the repayment of the Swingline Loans. Each Revolving Lender agrees to fund its Revolving Percentage of any such borrowing so requested in immediately available funds, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the first Business Day after the date of such borrowing is requested. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall immediately be made available by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender for application to the repayment of Swingline Loans. The Borrower agrees to pay, and irrevocably authorizes the Swingline Lender and Administrative Agent to charge the Borrower’s accounts with the Swingline Lender or Administrative Agent as necessary to pay, all outstanding Swingline Loans to the extent amounts received from the Revolving Lenders upon any such request are not sufficient to repay the outstanding Swingline Loans.

(c) If the Swingline Lender at any time determines that it is precluded from making a request for a borrowing of Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 3.4(b), whether by reason of the occurrence of a Default described in Section 9(f) or otherwise for any reason, each Revolving Lender hereby purchases from the Swingline Lender an undivided participating interest in the then outstanding Swingline Loans (a “Swingline Participation Amount”) and shall promptly upon demand of the Swingline Lender complete such purchase at par by paying to the Swingline Lender an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the aggregate outstanding Swingline Loans.

(d) Whenever, at any time after the Swingline Lender has received from any Revolving Lender such Lender’s Swingline Participation Amount, the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of the Swingline Loans, the Swingline Lender will distribute to such Lender its Swingline Participation Amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded and, in the case of principal and interest payments, to reflect such Lender’s pro rata portion of such payment if such payment is not sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on all Swingline Loans then due); provided, that if any such payment is required to be returned, such Revolving Lender will return to the Swingline Lender any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swingline Lender.

(e) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make the Loans referred to in Section 3.4(b) and to purchase participating interests pursuant to Section 3.4(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Revolving Lender or the Borrower may have against the Swingline Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of any Default or the failure to satisfy any of the conditions specified in Section 6; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Revolving Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

3.5. Commitment Fees, etc. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a commitment fee for the period from and including the Original Closing Date to the last day of the Revolving Commitment Period, computed at the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Revolving Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December and on the Revolving Termination Date, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the Original Closing Date.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Term Lender having an unfunded Additional Term Loan Commitment, a commitment fee for the period from and including the First Amendment Effective Date to the Delayed Draw Availability Expiration Date, computed at the Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the Available Additional Term Commitment of such Lender during the period for which payment is made, payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December, and on the Delayed Draw Availability Expiration Date, commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the First Amendment Effective Date.

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agents the fees in the amounts and on the dates agreed to in writing by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

3.6. Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the amount of the Revolving Commitments; provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Total Revolving Extensions of Credit would exceed the Total Revolving Commitments. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $500,000, or a whole multiple thereof or the Total Revolving Commitment, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Commitments then in effect. The Borrower shall also have the right, upon not less than three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate all or a portion of the unfunded Additional Term Loan Commitments; provided that any partial termination shall be in an amount at least equal to $500,000 or a whole multiple thereof.

3.7. Letter of Credit Subcommitment. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the other Revolving Lenders set forth in Section 3.10(a), agrees to cause the Issuing Lender to issue, on a sight basis, letters of credit (“Letters of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower on any Business Day at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Commitment Period, in such form as may be customarily used from time to time by the Issuing Lender or in such other form as may be reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Lender and the Issuing Lender; provided, that the L/C Lender shall have no obligation to cause any Letter of Credit to be issued if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Subcommitment Amount or (ii) the aggregate amount of the Available Revolving Commitments would be less than zero. Each Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars and expire no later than the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of its date of issuance and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Termination Date; provided that any Letter of Credit with a one-year term may provide, with the consent of the L/C Lender and the Issuing Lender, for the automatic renewal thereof for additional periods of up to one year (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (ii) above without the consent of the L/C Lender and the Issuing Lender). If, as of the Revolving Termination Date, any Letter of Credit for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then outstanding amount of all Letters of Credit; provided, that all such Cash Collateral or Backstop L/Cs (each as defined below) shall be denominated in Dollars. For purposes of this Section 3.07, “Cash

Collateralize” shall mean to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Lender, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances (“Cash Collateral”) or one or more backstop letters of credit in form and substance acceptable to, and issued by financial institutions reasonably acceptable to the L/C Lender (each such letter of credit, a “Backstop L/C”) pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Lender (which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders). Derivatives of such above defined terms shall have corresponding meanings.

(b) L/C Lender shall not at any time be obligated to cause any Letter of Credit to be issued hereunder if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the L/C Lender, Issuing Lender or any L/C Participant to exceed any limits imposed by, any applicable Requirement of Law.

3.8. Procedure for Issuance of Letter of Credit. (a) The Borrower may from time to time request that the L/C Lender cause a Letter of Credit to be issued by delivering to the L/C Lender at its address for notices specified herein, an Application therefor, completed to the reasonable satisfaction of the L/C Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as the Issuing Lender may reasonably request. Upon receipt of any Application, the L/C Lender will notify the Administrative Agent of the amount, the beneficiary and the requested expiration of the requested Letter of Credit, and upon receipt of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that after giving effect to the requested issuance, the Available Revolving Commitments would not be less than zero, the L/C Lender will cause such Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith to be processed by the L/C Lender and the Issuing Lender in accordance with their respective customary procedures and shall cause the Issuing Lender to promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall the L/C Lender be required to cause any Letter of Credit to be issued earlier than three Business Days after its receipt of the Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by causing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed to by the Issuing Lender and the Borrower. The L/C Lender shall furnish a copy of such Letter of Credit to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) promptly following the issuance thereof. The L/C Lender shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent which shall in turn promptly furnish to the Lenders, notice of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (including the amount thereof).

(b) The making of each request for a Letter of Credit by the Borrower shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Borrower that such Letter of Credit may be issued in accordance with, and will not violate the requirements of, Section 3.7(a) or any Requirement of Law applicable to the Loan Parties. Unless the L/C Lender has received notice from the Administrative Agent before it causes a Letter of Credit to be issued that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 6.2 are not satisfied, or that the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate Section 3.7, then the L/C Lender may cause the requested Letter of Credit to be issued for the account of the Borrower in accordance with the usual and customary practices of each of the L/C Lender and the Issuing Lender.

3.9. Fees and Other Charges. (a) The Borrower will pay a fee on the face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect with respect to Eurodollar Loans under the Revolving Facility, shared ratably among the Revolving Lenders and payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date after the issuance date. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the L/C Lender for its own account a fronting fee on the undrawn and unexpired amount of each Letter of Credit computed at the rate of 0.25% per annum and payable quarterly in arrears on each L/C Fee Payment Date.

(b) In addition to the foregoing fees, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse the L/C Lender and the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Lender in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit.

3.10. L/C Participations. (a) The L/C Lender irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce the L/C Lender to cause Letters of Credit to be issued hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from the L/C Lender, on the terms and conditions set forth below, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage in the L/C Lender’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit issued hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by the Issuing Lender thereunder (which shall include the L/C Lender’s obligation to reimburse such applicable Issuing Lender for the amount of such drawing). Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with the L/C Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit for which the L/C Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand of the L/C Lender an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Revolving Percentage of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, that is not so reimbursed. The Administrative Agent shall promptly forward such amounts to the L/C Lender.

(b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Lender pursuant to Section 3.10(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by L/C Lender to the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Lender, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 3.10(a) is not made available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, the L/C Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Facility. A certificate of the L/C Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(c) Whenever, at any time after the L/C Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 3.10(a), the Administrative Agent or the L/C Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by the L/C Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, the Administrative Agent or the L/C Lender, as the case may be, will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, that if any such payment received by Administrative Agent or the L/C Lender, as the case may be, shall be required to be returned by the Administrative Agent or the L/C Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Lender the portion thereof previously distributed to such L/C Participant.

3.11. Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to reimburse the L/C Lender on the same Business Day on which the L/C Lender notifies the Borrower of the date and

amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit and paid by the L/C Lender or on the next Business Day, if such notice is received any time after 11:00 a.m., New York time on such Business Day for the amount of such draft so paid. Each such payment shall be made to the L/C Lender at its address for notices referred to herein in Dollars and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on any such amounts from the date on which the relevant draft is paid until payment in full at the rate set forth in (i) until the Business Day next succeeding the date of the relevant notice, Section 4.5(b) and (ii) thereafter, Section 4.5(c).

3.12. Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under Section 3.11 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment that the Borrower may have or have had against the L/C Lender, the Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person. The Borrower also agrees with the L/C Lender that the L/C Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations under Section 3.11 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. The L/C Lender shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit, except for errors or omissions found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender or any Related Person. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or by the L/C Lender or the Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York, shall be binding on the Borrower and shall not result in any liability of the L/C Lender or the Issuing Lender to the Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall not have any liability to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, or the Lenders in respect of any Letters of Credit issued by it or any Letters of Credit requested to be issued by it, nor shall the Issuing Lender owe any duty to any Person, or be deemed to have agreed, to issue any Letters of Credit (it being understood that the Issuing Lender shall issue Letters of Credit if at all, pursuant to separate contractual arrangements with and solely for the benefit of, the L/C Lender and any duties, obligations or liabilities of the Issuing Lender shall be only those set forth in such separate contractual arrangements).

3.13. Letter of Credit Payments. If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the L/C Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of the L/C Lender to the Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to causing the Issuing Lender to determine that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are substantially in conformity with such Letter of Credit.

3.14. Applications. To the extent that any provision of any Application related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 3, the provisions of this Section 3 shall apply.

3.15. Increase in Term Commitments. (a) With the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower from time to time may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request Incremental Term Commitments in an amount not to exceed the Incremental Term Amount from Lenders or other Persons approved by the Administrative Agent willing to provide such Incremental Term

Commitments. No Agent or Lender shall be obligated to deliver or fund any Incremental Term Commitment except as expressly agreed to in writing by any such Person in an Incremental Term Assumption Agreement. The notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the Incremental Term Commitments being requested (which shall be in minimum increments of $1,000,000 and a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or equal to the remaining Incremental Term Amount), (ii) the date on which such Incremental Term Commitments are requested to become effective and (iii) that such Incremental Term Commitments will provide for an additional funding of Term Loans on such date on the terms and conditions set forth herein applicable to the Term Loans.

(b) Concurrently with such request, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Incremental Term Assumption Agreement executed and delivered by the Loan Parties and proposed Incremental Term Lenders and such other documentation relating thereto as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Incremental Term Assumption Agreement. Upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Term Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be amended to the extent necessary in the judgment of the Administrative Agent to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Term Commitments thereunder. Such amendment shall become effective when executed and delivered by the Administrative Agent with the Borrower’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and need not be executed, delivered or consented to by any other Agent or Lender. Upon the funding of Term Loans under an Incremental Term Commitment, such Loans shall constitute Term Loans for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(c) No Incremental Term Assumption Agreement shall become effective unless (i) the Administrative Agent has approved such Incremental Term Assumption Agreement, (ii) the Administrative Agent has received a certificate executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrowers to the effect that (A) the conditions set forth in Sections 6.2(a) and 6.2(b) are satisfied on the date of the Incremental Term Assumption Agreement and the proposed effective date and (B) Holdings would have been in compliance with Sections 8.1(a) and 8.1(b) as of the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter of Holdings for which financial statements have then been delivered, after giving effect on a pro forma basis to the Incremental Term Commitments provided by such Incremental Term Assumption Agreement and the funding of all loans committed thereunder and application of the proceeds thereof, all as if funded and applied on the first day of the 12-month period then ended, and (iii) the Administrative Agent has received such amendments to the Security Documents, additional Security Documents, legal opinions, board resolutions, certificates and documentation as required by such Incremental Term Assumption Agreement or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent.

(d) The Administrative Agent may reset Interest Periods for outstanding Eurodollar Tranches and take other such action as it may deem appropriate to cause all additional Term Loans funded under Incremental Term Commitments to be included, when funded, on a pro rata basis in each outstanding Borrowing of Term Loans, and the Borrower agrees that Section 4.11 shall apply to any conversion of Eurodollar Loans to Base Rate Loans or other reset of Interest Periods required by the Administrative Agent to effect the foregoing.

(e) If, taking into consideration all upfront fees and other compensation paid or payable by the Borrower or its Affiliates to any Incremental Term Lender to obtain its Incremental Term Commitment, the effective yield of any Incremental Term Loans, based on an assumed four-year average life to maturity (the “Incremental Term Loan Yield”), is more than 0.25% per annum greater than the yield of the other Term Loans then outstanding, determined solely on the basis of the interest rates applicable thereto under this Agreement (the “Outstanding Term Loan Yield”), then on the date of funding of such Incremental Term Loans the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for account

of each Term Lender holding Term Loans then outstanding, a fee in an amount sufficient to cause the Outstanding Term Loan Yield, when increased by the amount of such fee, to be 0.25% per annum less than the Incremental Term Loan Yield.

SECTION 4. GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE
TO LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT

4.1. Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent no later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, three Business Days prior thereto in the case of Eurodollar Loans and no later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day prior thereto in the case of Base Rate Loans, which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans or Base Rate Loans; provided, that if a Eurodollar Loan is prepaid on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 4.11. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein (provided, that a notice of prepayment of all outstanding Loans may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or other financing, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date) if such condition is not satisfied), together with (except in the case of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans and Swingline Loans) accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments of Term Loans and Revolving Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple thereof. Partial prepayments of Swingline Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple thereof.

4.2. Mandatory Prepayments and Commitment Reductions. (a) If at any time after the Original Closing Date any Group Member other than Holdings receives any Net Cash Proceeds from the incurrence of any Indebtedness other than Excluded Indebtedness, the Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans on the date of such receipt in an amount equal to the lesser of 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds (excluding Net Cash Proceeds received from the incurrence of any such Indebtedness to the extent used within 90 days thereafter to finance a Permitted Acquisition or to acquire or repair fixed or capital assets useful in its business) and the amount of the outstanding Term Loans.

(b) If at any time after the Original Closing Date Holdings or any Parent receives any Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance and sale of any Capital Stock or any equity contribution (excluding (i) proceeds from Capital Stock of Holdings or any Parent issued to employees or directors of any Parent, Holdings, the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries pursuant to employee benefit plans, employment arrangements or director arrangements, (ii) any capital contribution to the extent made by Holdings or another Subsidiary of Holdings (it being understood and agreed that in no event shall this clause (ii) exclude any proceeds received by Holdings from any capital contribution to it or any issuance of its equity), (iii) proceeds received from the equity financing referred to in paragraph 5 of the Closing Certificate of the Borrower, (iv) proceeds received by Holdings or any Parent after the Original Closing Date from issuances of its equity to, or contributions received from, any Parent or any Permitted Investors or Permitted Transferees and (v) proceeds received by Holdings or any Parent after the Original Closing Date from issuances of its equity or contributions to the extent used within 90 days thereafter to finance a Permitted Acquisition), the Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans within 90 days after the date of such receipt in an amount equal to the lesser of 50% of such Net Cash Proceeds and the amount of the outstanding Term Loans.

(c) If at any time after the Original Closing Date any Group Member receives any Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Recovery Event in an amount exceeding $2,500,000 in any fiscal year, then, unless a Reinvestment Notice shall be delivered in respect thereof, the Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans on the third Business Day following the date of such receipt in an amount equal to the lesser of 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to the extent exceeding $2,500,000 in any fiscal year and the amount of the outstanding Term Loans. If a Reinvestment Notice has been delivered in respect of any Asset Sale or Recovery Event, then on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date relating thereto, the Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans in an amount equal to the lesser of the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount with respect to the relevant Reinvestment Event and the amount of the outstanding Term Loans.

(d) If, for any fiscal year of the Borrower commencing with the fiscal year ending on or about December 31, 2007, there is any Excess Cash Flow, the Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans in an amount equal to the lesser of the ECF Percentage of such Excess Cash Flow on or before the 105^th day following the end of such fiscal year and the amount of the outstanding Term Loans.

(e) Mandatory prepayments of Term Loans shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans and then to Eurodollar Loans and shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid. Each such prepayment shall be credited ratably to the remaining installments.

4.3. Conversion and Continuation Options. (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Eurodollar Loans to Base Rate Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date, provided, that any such conversion of Eurodollar Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefore), provided that no Base Rate Loan under a particular Facility may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions. If the Borrower requests a conversion to Eurodollar Loans in any such notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

(b) Any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, provided, that no Eurodollar Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of such Facility have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations, and provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if the Borrower requests a continuation of Eurodollar Loans in any such notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have

specified an Interest Period of one month. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

4.4. Limitations on Eurodollar Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Eurodollar Loans hereunder and all selections of Interest Periods hereunder shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to $500,000 or a whole multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than ten Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

4.5. Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(c) (i) If any portion of the principal of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation is not paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such portion of such principal shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to Section 4.5(a) or 4.5(b) plus 2% per annum or (y) in the case of Reimbursement Obligations, the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Facility plus 2% per annum and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder is not paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans under the relevant Facility plus 2% per annum (or, in the case of any such other amounts that do not relate to a particular Facility, the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Facility plus 2% per annum), in each case, with respect to both clause (i) and clause (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).

(d) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand.

4.6. Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to Base Rate Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the Base Rate or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for each day on which it is made or outstanding, except the day on which it is repaid unless it is repaid on the same day that it was made.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the

Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 4.5(a).

4.7. Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

(a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or

(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Facility Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,

the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate Loans (provided, that the Borrower may rescind such request promptly after receipt of such notice), (y) any Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as Base Rate Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to Base Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans under the relevant Facility to Eurodollar Loans.

4.8. Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by the Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Term Percentages or Revolving Percentages, as the case may be of the relevant Lenders..

(b) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Term Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by the Term Lenders. The amount of each principal prepayment of the Term Loans shall be applied to reduce the then remaining installments of Term Loans, pro rata based upon the then remaining principal amount thereof. Amounts prepaid on account of the Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

(c) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving Lenders.

(d) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Funding Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders

promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the Borrower.

(f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.

4.9. Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive whether or not having the force of law from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date such Lender becomes a party hereto:

(i) shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any Application or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for (A) changes in the rate of net income taxes, capital taxes, branch taxes, franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of income taxes) and net worth taxes (imposed in lieu of income taxes) and (B) Non-Excluded Taxes, provided that this provision shall not affect any obligation of the Borrower under Section 4.10);

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate hereunder; or

(iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount that such Lender reasonably deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurodollar Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its written demand (accompanied by a certificate of the type described in clause (c) below), any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

(b) If any Lender shall have reasonably determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy whether or not having the force of law from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date such Lender becomes a party hereto shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request (accompanied by a certificate of the type described in clause (c) below) therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such corporation for such reduction.

(c) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 4.9 submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.9, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 4.9 for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such six-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

4.10. Taxes. (a) Except to the extent required under applicable law, all payments made under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding net income taxes, capital taxes, branch taxes, franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) and net worth taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on any Agent or any Lender or its applicable lending office or any branch, as a result of a present or

former connection between such Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from such Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document). If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to any Agent or any Lender hereunder (or are required to be withheld or paid by such Agent or Lender) subject to Subsection 4.10(i), the amounts so payable to such Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement, provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender or Agent with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lender’s or Agent’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section 4.10 or (ii) that are United States withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to such Lender or Agent at the time such Lender or Agent becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that such Lender’s or Agent’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph (a).

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

(c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Agent or Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Agents and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by any Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure.

(d) Each Lender or Agent (or Transferee) that is not a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and/or Form W-8BEN (claiming benefits of an applicable tax treaty) or Form W-8ECI, as applicable (or successor form) or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit G and a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to

deliver. Each Lender or Agent that is not a Non-U.S. Lender shall furnish an accurate and complete U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or successor form) establishing that such Lender or Agent is not subject to U.S. backup withholding, and to the extent it may lawfully do so at such times, provide a new Form W-9 (or successor form) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form.

(e) A Lender or Agent that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law and as reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, to the extent that such Lender or Agent is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s or Agent’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender.

(f) If any Lender or Agent determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.10, it shall promptly pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 4.10 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of such Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Agent or such Lender in the event such Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(g) The agreements in this Section 4.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(h) [Reserved].

(i) If a Lender or Agent changes its applicable lending office or assigns its rights or sells participations therein and the effect of the change, assignment or participation, as of the date of the change, would be to cause the Borrower to become obligated to pay any additional amount under Section 4.9(a)(i) or 4.10, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such additional amount in excess of amounts the Borrower was obligated to pay prior to such change, assignment or participation.

4.11. Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender, upon its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation and the calculation of the amount of such compensation), for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund its Eurodollar Loans but excluding loss of anticipated profits) that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans

on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 4.11 submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

4.12. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 4.9, 4.10(a) or 4.15 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans or Letters of Credit affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.9, 4.10(a) or 4.15.

4.13. Replacement of Lenders. The Borrower may replace, with a replacement financial lender reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, any Lender that (a) requests payment of any amounts payable under Section 4.9, 4.10(a) or 4.15, (b) defaults in its obligation to make Loans hereunder, or (c) declines to deliver any required consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of the Loan Documents that has been consented by the Borrower, Administrative Agent, Required Lenders and, if otherwise required, Majority Facility Lenders, but only if (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any such replacement, such Lender has taken no action under Section 4.12 so as to eliminate the demand or condition giving rise to the Borrower’s replacement right, (iv) the replacement lender purchases, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to the replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement and assumes all obligations of the replaced Lender under the Loan Documents in accordance with Section 11.6 (except that the Borrower shall pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (v) the Borrower compensates the replaced Lender under Section 4.11 if any Eurodollar Loan outstanding to the replaced Lender is purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto and (vi) the Borrower shall pay the replaced Lender all amounts payable under Section 4.9 or 4.10(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, all rights and claims of the Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders against any replaced Lender that has defaulted in its obligation to make Loans hereunder shall be in all respects reserved and unaffected by the replacement of such Lender.

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

(b) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 11.6(b), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder and any Note evidencing such Loan, the Type of such Loan

and each Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

(c) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to Section 4.14(a) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded, but the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d) The Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, the Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note of the Borrower evidencing any Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans or Swingline Loans, as the case may be, of such Lender, substantially in the forms of Exhibit ▇-▇, ▇-▇ ▇▇ ▇-▇, respectively, with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount.

4.15. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (a) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans, continue Eurodollar Loans as such and convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans shall forthwith be canceled and (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 4.11.

SECTION 5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Agents and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans and issue or participate in the Letters of Credit, Holdings and the Borrower hereby jointly and severally represent and warrant to each Agent and each Lender that, unless otherwise specified, on and as of the First Amendment Effective Date and on and as of each date as required by Section 6.2(b):

5.1. Financial Condition. (a) The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at on or about December 31, 2004 (including the notes thereto) (the “Original Closing Date Pro Forma Balance Sheet”), copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender party hereto as of the Original Closing Date, has been prepared giving effect (as if such events had occurred on such date) to (i) the consummation of the Acquisition, (ii) the Loans to be made and the Senior Unsecured Notes to be issued on or before the Original Closing Date and the use of proceeds thereof and (iii) the payment of fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing. The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of Holdings and its consolidated subsidiaries as at December 31, 2005 (including the notes thereto) (the “First Amendment Effective Date Pro Forma Balance Sheet”), copies of which have been have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, has been prepared giving effect (as if such events had occurred on such date) to (i) the consummation of the Ohio Acquisition, (ii) the Loans to be made on the First Amendment Effective Date and (iii) the payment of fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing. The Original Closing Date Pro Forma Balance Sheet and the First Amendment Effective Date Pro Forma Balance Sheet have each been prepared based on the best information available to the Borrower as of the date of delivery thereof, and presents fairly in all

material respects on a pro forma basis the estimated financial position of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at on or about December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005, respectively, assuming that the events specified in the preceding sentence had actually occurred at such date (except in each case for the effects of fair value adjustments to the acquired tangible and intangible assets and liabilities required by purchase accounting principles).

(b) The audited consolidated balance sheets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at on or about December 31, 2005, on or about December 31, 2004 and on or about December 31, 2003 and the related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such dates, reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report from KPMG LLC, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at such dates and their consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows for the fiscal years then ended. All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes (if any) thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein). As of the First Amendment Effective Date, no Group Member has any material Guarantee Obligations, contingent liabilities or any long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term commitments, including any interest rate or foreign currency swap or exchange transaction or other obligation in respect of derivatives, that are not reflected in the most recent financial statements referred to in this paragraph other than as contemplated by the Loan Documents and Related Agreements. During the period from on or about December 31, 2004 to and including the Original Closing Date there was no Disposition by the Borrower or any of its then existing Subsidiaries of any material part of its business or property other than the Acquisition.

5.2. No Change. Since the date of the audited consolidated balance sheets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as at on or about December 31, 2004, there has been no development or event that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.3. Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law. Each Group Member (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the organizational power and authority, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other organization and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification except to the extent the failure to be so qualified would not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law and Organizational Documents, except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith would not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.4. Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the organizational power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents and the Related Agreements to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to obtain extensions of credit under this Agreement. Each Loan Party has taken all necessary organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents and Related Agreements to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the extensions of credit under this Agreement. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the Acquisition, the extensions of credit hereunder or the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents or Related Agreements except (i) consents, authorizations, filings and notices described in Schedule 5.4, which consents, authorizations, filings and notices have been obtained or made and are in full force and

effect except as specifically described in Schedule 5.4 and (ii) the filings referred to in Section 5.19. Each Loan Document and Related Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, each other Loan Document upon execution will constitute, and each Related Agreement constitutes, the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party party thereto, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

5.5. No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents and, the issuance of Letters of Credit and the borrowings hereunder do not and will not violate in any material respect any Requirement of Law, Organizational Documents or any material Contractual Obligation of any Loan Party or result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien on any property or revenues of any Loan Party in any material respect pursuant to any Requirement of Law, Organizational Documents or material Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents). The execution, delivery and performance of the Related Agreements and the use of the proceeds thereof do not and will not violate any Requirement of Law, Organizational Documents or any Contractual Obligation of any Loan Party or result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien on any property or revenues of any Loan Party pursuant to any Requirement of Law Organizational Documents or Contractual Obligation (other than the Liens created by the Security Documents) except, as in each case, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Group Member is subject to any Requirement of Law, Organizational Documents or Contractual Obligation that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.6. Litigation. No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of Holdings or the Borrower, threatened by or against any Group Member or against any of their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.7. No Default. No Group Member is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

5.8. Ownership of Property; Liens. Each Loan Party has good and indefeasible title to the Mortgaged Properties, and to the knowledge of Holdings or the Borrower, has good and valid title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its other material property and none of such property is subject to any Lien except Permitted Liens.

5.9. Intellectual Property. Except as set forth in Schedule 5.9, each Group Member owns, or is licensed to use, all material Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted. Except as, in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (a) no material claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property, nor does Holdings or the Borrower know of any valid basis for any such claim and (b) the use of Intellectual Property by each Group Member does not infringe on the rights of any Person in any material respect.

5.10. Taxes. Each Group Member has filed or caused to be filed all Federal and state income and other material tax returns that are required to be filed and has paid all material taxes shown to

be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other material taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than any the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings (if any) and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the relevant Group Member); no tax Lien has been filed, and, to the knowledge of Holdings and the Borrower, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any material tax, fee or other charge. No Group Member intends to treat the Loan, the Acquisition, or any other transaction contemplated hereby as being as “reportable transaction” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section 1.6011-4).

5.11. Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans, and no other extensions of credit hereunder, will be used for “buying” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect or for any purpose that violates the provisions of the Regulations of the Board. If requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1, as applicable, referred to in Regulation U.

5.12. Labor Matters. Except as, in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: (a) there are no strikes or other labor disputes against any Group Member pending or, to the knowledge of Holdings or the Borrower, threatened; (b) hours worked by and payment made to employees of each Group Member have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Requirement of Law dealing with such matters; and (c) all payments due from any Group Member on account of employee health and welfare insurance have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the relevant Group Member.

5.13. ERISA. Neither a Reportable Event nor an “accumulated funding deficiency” (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA) has occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Plan for which any Group Member or Commonly Controlled Entity has a material unpaid liability, and each Plan has complied in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code. No termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred, and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen, during such five-year period. The present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits by a material amount. No Group Member or Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan that has resulted or would reasonably be expected to result in a material liability under ERISA, and no Group Member or Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any material liability under ERISA if any Group Member or Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made. No such Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization or Insolvent. No Group Member has any liability with respect to any employee benefit plan that is not subject to the laws of the United States or a political subdivision thereof that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

5.14. Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. No Group Member is an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. No Loan Party is subject to regulation under any Requirement of Law or restriction under its Organizational Documents (other than Regulation X of the

Board) that limits its ability to incur Indebtedness under this Agreement or the Senior Unsecured Indenture.

5.15. Subsidiaries. Except as disclosed to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower in writing from time to time after the Original Closing Date, (a) Schedule 5.15 sets forth the name and jurisdiction of organization of each Subsidiary and, as to each such Subsidiary, the percentage of each class of Capital Stock owned by any Group Member and (b) there are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, rights or other agreements or commitments (other than stock options granted to employees, former employees or directors and directors’ qualifying shares) of any nature relating to any Capital Stock of the Group Member other than Holdings, except as created by the Loan Documents.

5.16. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Term Loans and any Revolving Loans funded on the Original Closing Date were used to refinance existing Indebtedness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, to finance a portion of the merger consideration for the Merger and pay related fees and expenses. Letters of Credit and the proceeds of Revolving Loans made after the Original Closing Date and Swingline Loans shall be used only for working capital, Permitted Acquisitions and other general corporate purposes. The Borrower shall use the proceeds of any Additional Term Loans solely for Permitted Acquisitions and the repayment of outstanding Revolving Loans or those Existing Loans not subject to a Conversion Notice.

5.17. Environmental Matters. Except as, in the aggregate, has not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect:

(a) Except as listed on Schedule 5.17, the facilities and properties owned, leased or operated by any Group Member (the “Properties”) do not contain any Materials of Environmental Concern or contamination in amounts or concentrations or under circumstances that constitute or constituted a violation of, or could give rise to liability under, any Environmental Law;

(b) no Group Member has received or is aware of any notice of violation, alleged violation, non-compliance, liability or potential liability regarding environmental matters or compliance with Environmental Laws with regard to any of the Properties or any Group Member’s operation of any of the Properties or the business operated by any Group Member (the “Business”), nor does Holdings or the Borrower have knowledge or reason to believe that any such notice will be received or is being threatened;

(c) the Group Members (i) hold all Environmental Permits (each of which is in full force and effect) required for the conduct of the business; and (ii) are, and within the period of all applicable statutes of limitation have been, in compliance with all of their Environmental Permits;

(d) the Group Members have complied with all current requirements of Environmental Law and, to the knowledge of Holdings or the Borrower, compliance by each Group Member with all reasonably likely future requirements arising from either (i) existing Environmental Laws or (ii) formally proposed environmental regulations that have not yet been finally promulgated will be timely attained and maintained, as applicable, without material expense;

(e) Except as listed on Schedule 5.17, Materials of Environmental Concern have not been transported or disposed of by or on behalf of any Group Member from the Properties in violation of, or in a manner or to a location that would give rise to liability under, any Environmental Law, nor during any Group Member’s ownership or operation of either the Properties or any formerly owned, leased or operated facilities or properties (“Former Properties”) have any Materials of

Environmental Concern been generated, treated, stored or disposed of, released or threatened to be released at, on or under any of the Properties or Former Properties or otherwise in connection with the Business in violation of Environmental Law, or in a manner that could give rise to liability under, any applicable Environmental Law;

(f) no judicial proceeding or governmental or administrative action is pending or, to the knowledge of Holdings and the Borrower, threatened, under any Environmental Law to which any Group Member is or will be named as a party with respect to the Properties or the Business, nor are there any consent decrees or other decrees, consent orders, administrative orders or other orders, or other administrative or judicial requirements outstanding under any Environmental Law with respect to the Properties or the Business; and

(g) no Group Member has assumed any liability of any other Person under Environmental Laws.

5.18. Accuracy of Information, etc. No statement or information contained in this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Confidential Information Memorandum or any other material document, certificate or statement furnished by or on behalf of any Group Member to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or any of them, for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, taken as a whole, contained as of the date such statement, information, document or certificate was so furnished (or, in the case of the Confidential Information Memorandum, as of the Original Closing Date), any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not materially misleading. The projections and pro forma financial information contained in the materials referenced above are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by management of the Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Lenders that such financial information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such financial information may differ from the projected results set forth therein by a material amount. As of the Original Closing Date, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, the representations and warranties contained in the Acquisition Documentation are true and correct in all material respects (except those representations and warranties that refer solely to an earlier date, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of such earlier date). There is no fact known to any Loan Party that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been expressly disclosed herein, in the other Loan Documents, in the Confidential Information Memorandum or in any other documents, certificates and statements furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents, taken as a whole.

5.19. Security Documents. (a) The Guarantee and Collateral Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral described therein and proceeds and products thereof, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally. In the case of the Pledged Stock described in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, when stock certificates representing such Pledged Stock are delivered to the Administrative Agent, and in the case of the other Collateral described in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, to the extent provided therein, when financing statements, other filings specified on Schedule 4 to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 4 to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and the other actions described in Section 4.3 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement are completed, the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement shall be effective to create a perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral and the proceeds thereof, as security for the

Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement), in each case (to the extent provided therein) prior and superior in right to any other Person (except for Permitted Liens);

(b) Each of the Mortgages is effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable Lien on the Mortgaged Properties described therein and proceeds and products thereof, and when the Mortgages are filed in the offices specified therein, each such Mortgage shall constitute, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (to the extent provided therein) a perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in the Mortgaged Properties and the proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations (as defined in the relevant Mortgage), in each case (except as expressly set forth therein) prior and superior in right to any other Person (except for Permitted Liens). Schedule 1.1 lists, as of the Original Closing Date, each parcel of owned real property located in the United States and held by the Borrower or any of its then existing Subsidiaries that has a value, in the opinion of the Borrower, in excess of $1,500,000.

(c) When delivered and at all times thereafter, each Intellectual Property Security Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Intellectual Property Collateral described therein and the proceeds and products thereof, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally. Upon the filing of (i) each Intellectual Property Security Agreement in the appropriate indexes of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “PTO”) relative to United States patents and United States trademarks, and the United States Copyright Office relative to United States copyrights, if any, and the taking of appropriate actions with respect to Intellectual Property which is the subject of a registration or application outside the United States under applicable local laws, together with provision for payment of all requisite fees, and (ii) financing statements in appropriate form for filing in the offices specified on Schedule 4 of the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, each Intellectual Property Security Agreement shall constitute (to the extent provided in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) a perfected Lien on, and security interests in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Intellectual Property Collateral and the proceeds and products thereof, as security for the Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement), in each case (except as expressly set forth therein) prior and superior in right to any other Person (except for Permitted Liens); provided that subsequent filings in the PTO and United States Copyright Office and actions under foreign law may be necessary with respect to registrations for Intellectual Property acquired by any Loan Party after the date hereof.

5.20. Solvency. Each Group Member is, and after giving effect to the Acquisition and the incurrence of all Indebtedness and obligations being incurred in connection herewith and therewith will be and will continue to be, Solvent.

then, and in any such event, (A) if such event is an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (ii) of paragraph (f) above with respect to the Borrower, automatically the Commitments shall immediately terminate and the Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) shall immediately become due and payable, and (B) if such event is any other Event of Default, either or both of the following actions may be taken: (i) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower declare the Revolving Commitments to be terminated forthwith, whereupon the Revolving Commitments shall immediately terminate; and (ii) with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all amounts of L/C Obligations, whether or not the beneficiaries of the then outstanding Letters of Credit shall have presented the documents required thereunder) to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable.

Amounts held in such cash collateral account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of drafts drawn under such Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay any of the other Secured Obligations pursuant to the requirements of the Collateral Agreement. After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all Reimbursement Obligations shall have been satisfied and all other Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, in such cash collateral account shall be returned to the Borrower (or such other Person as may be lawfully entitled thereto). Except as expressly provided above in this Section 9, presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.

SECTION 10. THE AGENTS

10.1. Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints each Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes such Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Agent.

10.2. Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

10.3. Exculpatory Provisions. Neither any Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan

Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party.

10.4. Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Holdings or the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Agents shall in all cases be fully protected against any action or claim by any Lender or affiliate thereof, in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

10.5. Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless such Agent has received notice from a Lender, Holdings or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement); provided, that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

10.6. Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents 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

appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

10.7. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by Holdings or the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Holdings or the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section 10.7 shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

10.8. Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it and with respect to any Letter of Credit issued or participated in by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

10.9. Successor Administrative Agent. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, the Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent shall have given notice of its resignation as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 9(a) or Section 9(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights,

powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, then the resigning Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Lender, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. The Syndication Agent may, at any time, by notice to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, resign as Syndication Agent hereunder, whereupon the duties, rights, obligations and responsibilities of the Syndication Agent hereunder shall automatically be assumed by, and inure to the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, without any further act by the Syndication Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Lender. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 10 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

10.10. Agents Generally. Except as expressly set forth herein, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as such.

10.11. Agents Other than the Administrative Agent. The Lead Arrangers and the Syndication Agent, in their capacity as such, shall have no duties or responsibilities, and shall incur no liability, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

10.12. Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If any Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred.

SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS

The Required Lenders and each Loan Party to the relevant Loan Document may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (a) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (i) forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder (except (x) in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates, which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Majority Facility Lenders of each adversely affected Facility and (y) that any

amendment or modification of defined terms used in the financial covenants in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i)) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Commitment, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (ii) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 11.1 without the written consent of such Lender; (iii) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or, except as set forth in Section 11.14, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors from their obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, in each case without the written consent of all Lenders; (iv) extend the scheduled date or reduce the amount of any amortization payment in respect of any Term Loan, in each case, without the written consent of Lenders holding 80% or more in principal amount of the aggregate outstanding Term Loans (or, prior to the funding of Term Loans, Term Commitments) and Revolving Commitments; (v) amend, modify or waive any condition precedent to any extension of credit under the Revolving Facility set forth in Section 6.2 (including in connection with any waiver of any Default) without the written consent of the Majority Facility Lenders under the Revolving Facility; (vi) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 4.8 without the written consent of the Majority Facility Lenders under each Facility affected thereby, except that the additional written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby shall be required in the case of Section 4.8(a), 4.8(c) and the first sentence of Section 4.8(b); (vii) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Majority Facility Lenders with respect to any Facility without the written consent of all Lenders under such Facility; (viii) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 10 without the written consent of each Agent adversely affected thereby; (ix) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 3.3 or 3.4 without the written consent of the Swingline Lender; or (x) amend, modify or waive any provision of Sections 3.7 to 3.14 without the written consent of the L/C Lender. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Agents and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Agents shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

terms applicable to such Replacement Term Loans are substantially identical to, or less favorable to the Lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans than, those applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the latest final maturity of the Term Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing.

Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee.

Statements payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 11.5 shall be submitted pursuant to the notice information for the Borrower set forth in Section 11.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower in a written notice to the Administrative Agent.

11.6. Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any affiliate of the L/C Lender), except that (i) Holdings and the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their respective rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by Holdings or the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void), (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 11.6 and (iii) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall not be entitled to rely on or enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement until the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 are satisfied and the Merger and first funding of Loans have been completed.

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

(A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other Person provided, further, that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment by a Conduit Lender to its designated Lender, a conduit administered or managed by such Conduit Lender’s designated Lender or to such Conduit Lender’s liquidity providers;

(B) the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to an Assignee that is a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment, except in the case of an assignment of a Revolving Commitment to an Assignee that does not already have a Revolving Commitment provided, further, that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment by a Conduit Lender to its designated Lender, a conduit administered or managed by such Conduit Lender’s designated Lender or to such Conduit Lender’s liquidity providers; and

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans under any Facility, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $2,500,000 (or, in the case of Term Loans, $1,000,000) unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;

(B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption;

(C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire; and

(D) in the case of an assignment by a Conduit Lender to an Assignee that is not its designated Lender, another Conduit Lender administered or managed by such Conduit Lender’s designated Lender or such Conduit Lender’s liquidity providers (each such Assignee, a “Third Party Assignee”), such Conduit Lender’s designated Lender shall concurrently assign to the such Third Party Assignee or, if such Third Party Assignee is a conduit not administered by such designated Lender, to an Assignee designated by such Third Party Assignee an amount of its Commitment at least equal to the amount of the Loans assigned to such Third Party Assignee by such Conduit Lender; provided that if in connection with such assignment such Conduit Lender notifies the Borrower or the Administrative Agent that such Conduit Lender shall not make any additional Loans under this Agreement, such Conduit Lender’s designated Lender shall assign its entire Commitment to such Third Party Assignee or, if such Third Party Assignee is a conduit not administered by such designated Lender, to an Assignee designated by such Third Party Assignee.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and

Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.9, 4.10, 4.11 and 11.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.7 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, and subject to the limitations of Section 11.6 (c).

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

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Lender and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 11.1 and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.9, 4.10 or 4.11 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 11.6. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 11.7(a) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.9 or 4.10 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant. Any Participant that is a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.10 unless such Participant complies with Section 4.10(d).

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e) The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (d) above.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 11.6(b). Each of Holdings, the Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.

11.7. Adjustments; Set-off. (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall, at any time after the Loans and other amounts payable hereunder shall immediately become due and payable pursuant to Section 9, receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 9(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Holdings or the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Holdings and the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Holdings or the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of Holdings or the Borrower, as the case may be. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

11.8. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

11.9. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

11.10. Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of Holdings, the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. This Agreement supersedes all prior commitments and undertakings of any or all of the Agents and Lenders relating to the financing contemplated hereby. There are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any Agent or any Lender relative to subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

11.11. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

(c) agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to Holdings or the Borrower, as the case may be at its address set forth in Section 11.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to ▇▇▇ in any other jurisdiction; and

(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

11.13. Acknowledgments. Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby acknowledges that:

(a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

(b) no Agent or Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to Holdings or the Borrower arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Agents and Lenders, on one hand, and Holdings and the Borrower, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

(c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among Holdings, the Borrower and the Lenders.

Additionally, the Administrative Agent shall deliver such other documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower to evidence the termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and/or the termination of the Liens on the Collateral, in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, all in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.

11.19. Restatement. (a) On the First Amendment Effective Date, the Original Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety by this Agreement and the Original Credit Agreement shall thereafter be of no further force and effect except to evidence (i) the incurrence by the Borrower of the “Obligations” under and as defined in the Original Credit Agreement (whether or not such “Obligations” are contingent as of the First Amendment Effective Date), (ii) the representations and warranties made by Holdings and the Borrower prior to the First Amendment Effective Date and (iii) any action or omission performed or required to be performed pursuant to the Original Credit Agreement prior to the First Amendment Effective Date (including any failure, prior to the First Amendment Effective Date, to comply with the covenants contained in such Original Credit Agreement). This Agreement is not in any way intended to constitute a novation of the obligations and liabilities existing under the Original Credit Agreement or evidence payment of all or any portion of such obligations and liabilities. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all interest accrued for any Loan prior to the effectiveness of the First Amendment shall accrue at the applicable rate per annum set forth in the Original Credit Agreement.

(b) The terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Agents’ and the Lenders’ rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall apply to all of the Obligations incurred under the Original Credit Agreement and continuing hereunder.

PRICING GRIDS

The Applicable Margins and Commitment Fee Rate shall be adjusted on a quarterly basis after the completion of the first full fiscal quarter of the Borrower following the Original Closing Date, based on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio determined as of the last day of the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements have been delivered, with each such adjustment to become effective on the date (the “Adjustment Date”) that is three Business Days after the date on which the relevant financial statements are delivered to the Lenders pursuant to Section 7.1 (it being understood that the first Adjustment Date after the First Amendment Effective Date shall be based on the financial statements delivered for the fiscal quarter ended in June 2006) and to remain in effect until the next adjustment is effected.

The Applicable Margins and Commitment Fee Rate effective on each Adjustment Date shall be determined in accordance with the pricing grids set forth below:

Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans (Base Rate Only) and Commitment Fee Rate


		Applicable			Applicable
		Margin			Margin

All rates in each pricing grid are per annum rates.

If any financial statements referred to above are not delivered within the time periods specified in Section 7.1, then until the date that is three Business Days after the date on which such financial statements are delivered the highest rate set forth in each column of each pricing grid shall apply. At all times after maturity or acceleration of the maturity of the Loans or the delivery of notice to the Borrower by any Agent or the Required Lenders that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or occurrence of any Event of Default specified in Section 9(f) (until such time, if any, as such Event of Default may be cured or waived), the highest rate set forth in each column of each pricing grid shall apply.
