THE LOANS

Section 2.01 Conventional Revolving Loans.

(a) Revolving Commitments. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Lender severally agrees to make revolving loans (collectively, the “Conventional Revolving Loans”) to the Company on any one or more Business Days on or after the date hereof and prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, up to an aggregate principal amount not exceeding at any one time outstanding an amount equal to (i) such Lender’s Revolving Commitment less (ii) the principal amount of all Discretionary Revolving Loans outstanding to such Lender and the LC Exposure of such Lender at such time, if any; provided that in no event shall the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Conventional Revolving Loans, Discretionary Revolving Loans and the aggregate LC Exposure ever

exceed $600,000,000, as such amount may be increased or reduced pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Each Conventional Revolving Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $2,000,000 and an integral multiple of $250,000. Subject to the foregoing, each Conventional Revolving Borrowing shall be made simultaneously from the Lenders according to their Borrowing Pro Rata Shares of the principal amount requested for each Conventional Revolving Borrowing and shall consist of Conventional Revolving Loans of the same type (e.g., Alternate Base Rate Loans, Federal Funds Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans) with the same Interest Period from each Lender. Within such limits and during such period, the Company may borrow, repay and reborrow under this Section 2.01(a).

(b) Repayment of Conventional Revolving Loans. The Company hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent (i) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date, all outstanding Conventional Revolving Loans for account of the Lenders holding Conventional Revolving Loans and (ii) all outstanding Conventional Revolving Loans for account of a Declining Lender as provided in Section 2.13.

(c) Conventional Revolving Loan Borrowing Procedures. Each Conventional Revolving Borrowing under Section 2.01(a) shall be made on at least (A) in the case of a Conventional Revolving Borrowing consisting of Alternate Base Rate Loans or Federal Funds Rate Loans, prior oral or written notice from the Company to the Administrative Agent by 10:00 a.m. (New York, New York time) on the same day as the requested borrowing (and the Administrative Agent shall prior to 12:00 noon (New York, New York time) provide oral or written notice of the requested borrowing to the Lenders and (B) in the case of a Conventional Revolving Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Loans, three Business Days’ prior written or oral notice from the Company to the Administrative Agent by 10:00 a.m. (New York, New York time) (and the Administrative Agent shall, in the case of (B) above, upon receipt of such notice provide to each Lender prior oral or written notice by 11:30 a.m. (New York, New York time) on the date such notice is received by the Administrative Agent) (each such notice, a “Notice of Conventional Revolving Borrowing”); provided that with respect to each oral Notice of Conventional Revolving Borrowing, the Company shall deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a confirmatory written Notice of Conventional Revolving Borrowing, and upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such notice in writing. Each Notice of Conventional Revolving Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall (A) specify (v) the total principal amount of the proposed Conventional Revolving Borrowing, (w) whether the Conventional Revolving Borrowing will be comprised of Alternate Base Rate Loans, Federal Funds Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, (x) the applicable Interest Period (if any) for such Loans (which may not extend beyond the Revolving Credit Termination Date), (y) the Borrowing Date and (z) the bank account into which the funds with respect to such Conventional Revolving Borrowing shall be deposited, and (B) certify to the calculations demonstrating that the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Conventional Revolving Loans and the aggregate LC Exposure, after giving effect to such Conventional Revolving Borrowing, does not exceed the Revolving Commitments. If no election as to the type of Conventional Revolving Borrowing is specified, then the requested Conventional Revolving Borrowing shall consist of Alternate Base Rate Loans. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any Conventional Revolving Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Loans, then the Company shall be deemed to have selected the shortest permitted Interest Period. The Administrative Agent shall promptly give like notice to the other Lenders, and on the Borrowing Date each Lender shall make its share of the Conventional Revolving Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent at its Principal Office no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) in immediately available funds.

(d) Increase in Revolving Commitments. The Company from time to time may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request an increase in the aggregate Revolving Commitments on the following terms:

(i) The aggregate amount of all such increases shall not exceed $100,000,000 (each of which shall be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000 or increments of $5,000,000 in excess thereof);

(ii) No Lender will be obligated to provide or commit for any such increase;

(iii) If one or more of the Lenders or other Persons reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Company are willing to commit to provide such increase, such increase will be effective on the date the Administrative Agent receives an amendment to this Agreement executed by the Company, the Administrative Agent and such Lender or other Person, adding, in the case of an existing Lender, such commitment to Exhibit 2.01(a) and, in the case of a Person not then already a Lender, confirming that such Person has become a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement;

(iv) On the effective date of such amendment, each Lender or other Person committing to provide such increase shall fund Conventional Revolving Loans in an amount equal to its Applicable Revolver Percentage (after giving effect to such amendment) of the aggregate Conventional Revolving Loans outstanding immediately before giving effect to such amendment, and the proceeds of such funding shall be applied to repay on a pro rata basis the Conventional Revolving Loans outstanding before giving effect to such amendment (and Section 2.02(e) shall apply to such repayment); and

(v) In connection with any such increase, the Company shall deliver to the Administrative Agent such documents as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require, including a favorable written opinion (addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) and other certificates and documents similar to those delivered on the Closing Date.

Section 2.02 Delivery of Proceeds; Recordation of Loans; Interest.

(a) Delivery; Records. The Administrative Agent shall pay or deliver the proceeds of each Borrowing to or upon the order of the Company. Each Lender shall keep accurate records as to the Loans made by it, including (A) the date and principal amount of each Loan, (B) the rate of interest applicable to such Loan and (C) each payment of principal thereon; provided that the failure of such Lender to record such amounts, dates and rates shall not diminish or impair the Company’s obligation to repay all principal advanced and to pay all interest accruing under its Loans in accordance with the terms hereof.

(b) Substitute Rate. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at any time prior to the determination of the rate with respect to any proposed Loan the Majority Lenders in their discretion shall determine with respect to Eurodollar Loans to be made or continued by them on the applicable Borrowing Date or continuation date or, with respect to Loans to be converted to Eurodollar Loans, on the applicable conversion date, that there is a reasonable probability that Dollar deposits will not be offered to such Lenders in the interbank eurodollar market for a period of time equal to the applicable Interest Period in amounts equal to the amount of each such Lender’s Eurodollar Loan in Dollars or that the Eurodollar Rate does not reflect the cost of funding by the Lenders or that adequate and fair means do not exist to be able to determine the Eurodollar Rate, then:

(A) the Majority Lenders (acting through the Administrative Agent) or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall give the Company notice thereof; and

(B) Alternate Base Rate Loans or Federal Funds Rate Loans, as selected by the Company in accordance with Section 2.01(c) (or, if the Company does not provide timely notice of its selection, Alternate Base Rate Loans) shall be made in lieu of any Eurodollar Loans that were to have been made at such time.

(i) Each Alternate Base Rate Loan shall be made in Dollars and shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from time to time outstanding at a rate per annum (for the actual number of days elapsed, based on a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be) which shall be equal to the lesser of (A) the Alternate Base Rate plus the Alternate Base Rate Margin, or (B) the Highest Lawful Rate.

(ii) Each Eurodollar Loan shall be made in Dollars and shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from time to time outstanding at a rate per annum (for the actual number of days elapsed, based on a year of 360 days) which shall be equal to the lesser of (A) the Eurodollar Rate plus the applicable Margin Percentage, or (B) the Highest Lawful Rate.

(iii) Each Federal Funds Rate Loan shall be made in Dollars and shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from time to time outstanding at a rate per annum (for the actual number of days elapsed, based on a year of 360 days) which shall be equal to the lesser of (A) the Federal Funds Borrowing Rate plus the applicable Margin Percentage, or (B) the Highest Lawful Rate.

(iv) Interest on the outstanding principal of each Loan shall accrue from and including the Borrowing Date for such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan is paid in full and shall be due and payable (A) on the Interest Payment Date for each Eurodollar Loan and on each Quarterly Date for each Alternate Base Rate Loan or Federal Funds Rate Loan, (B) as to any Eurodollar Loan having an Interest Period greater than three months, at the end of the third month of the Interest Period for such Loan, and (C) as to all Loans, at maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise, or after notice of prepayment in accordance with Section 2.02(d)(i) or Section 3.01(c) hereof, on and after the Required Prepayment Date or the applicable prepayment date, as the case may be, as specified in such notice.

(v) Past due principal, pursuant to acceleration, the Company’s failure to make a prepayment on the date specified in the applicable prepayment notice or otherwise, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, past due interest and (after the occurrence of an Event of Default) past due fees, pursuant to acceleration or otherwise, shall bear interest from their respective due dates, until paid, at the Default Rate.

(d) Change of Law.

(i) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at any time any Lender in good faith determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any change after the date hereof in any applicable law, rule or regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful (any of the above being described as a “Eurodollar Event”), for such Lender or its foreign branch or branches to maintain or fund any Loan by means of Dollar deposits obtained in the interbank eurodollar market, then, at the option of such Lender (to the extent practicable, after consultation with the Company as to its preference

and after making a reasonable effort to give effect to such preference), the aggregate principal amount of each of such Lender’s Eurodollar Loans then outstanding, which Loans are directly affected by such Eurodollar Event, shall either (x) be prepaid or (y) be converted to a Loan of another type that is not so directly affected by such Eurodollar Event. Any remaining obligation of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Loans (but not Federal Funds Rate Loans or Alternate Base Rate Loans), shall be suspended for so long as such Eurodollar Event shall continue. Upon the occurrence of any Eurodollar Event, and at any time thereafter so long as such Eurodollar Event shall continue, such Lender may exercise its aforesaid option by giving written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Company. Any prepayment of any Eurodollar Loan which is required under this Section 2.02(d) shall be made, together with accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement with respect to such prepaid Loan (including, without limitation, amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.02(e)), on the date stated in the notice to the Company referred to above, which date (“Required Prepayment Date”) shall be not less than 15 days (or such earlier date as shall be necessary to comply with the relevant law, rule or regulation) from the date of such notice. If any Eurodollar Loan is required to be prepaid under this Section 2.02(d), the Lenders agree that at the written request of the Company, the Lender that has made such Eurodollar Loan shall make a Loan of another type, as selected by the Company, that, in each case, is not so directly affected by such Eurodollar Event on the Required Prepayment Date to the Company in the same principal amount as the Eurodollar Loan of such Lender being so prepaid. Any such written request by the Company for Alternate Base Rate Loans under this Section 2.02(d) shall be irrevocable and, in order to be effective, must be delivered to the Administrative Agent not less than one Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company is required to pay to any Lender amounts with respect to any Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(d)(i) (not including a borrowing of Discretionary Revolving Loans), the Company may give notice to such Lender (with copies to the Administrative Agent) that it wishes to seek one or more assignees (which may be one or more of the Lenders) to assume the Commitment of such Lender and to purchase its outstanding Loans and the Administrative Agent will use its best efforts to assist the Company in obtaining an assignee; provided that if more than one Lender requests that the Company pay substantially and proportionately equal additional amounts under Section 2.02(d)(i) and the Company elects to seek an assignee to assume the Commitments of any of such affected Lenders, the Company must seek an assignee or assignees to assume the Commitments of all of such affected Lenders. Each Lender requesting compensation pursuant to Section 2.02(d)(i) agrees to sell its Commitment, Loans and interest in this Agreement in accordance with Section 13.07 to any such assignee for an amount equal to the sum of the outstanding unpaid principal of and accrued interest on such Loans, plus all other fees and amounts (including, without limitation, any compensation claimed by such Lender under Section 2.02(d)(i) and Section 2.02(e)) due such Lender hereunder calculated, in each case, to the date such Commitment, Loans and interest are purchased. Upon such sale or prepayment, each such Lender shall have no further Commitment or other obligation to the Company hereunder.

(e) Fundings and Exchange Losses. In the event of (i) any payment or prepayment (whether authorized or required hereunder pursuant to acceleration or otherwise) or conversion of all or a portion of any Eurodollar Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor, (ii) any failure to make, prepay, continue or convert a Borrowing consisting of any Eurodollar Loan after the delivery of the Notice of Conventional Revolving Borrowing, Interest Election Request or notice of prepayment, as the case may be, for such Eurodollar Loan on the applicable Borrowing Date or continuation, conversion or prepayment date therefor, (iii) the failure of any Loan to be made by any Lender due to any condition precedent to a Loan not being satisfied or as a result of this Section 2.02 or

due to any other action or inaction of the Company or (iv) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Company, the Company shall pay to each affected Lender upon its request made on or before 45 days after the occurrence of any such event, acting through the Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts (to the extent such amount or amounts would not be usurious under applicable law) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender for any direct costs and losses incurred by such Lender (including, without limitation, such amount or amounts as will compensate it for the amount by which the rate of interest that would have accrued on such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Eurodollar Rate for the period from the date of such prepayment to the end of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have begun on the date of such failure), exceeds the rate of interest that would accrue for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid, at the beginning of such period, for deposits of a comparable amount and period from lenders in the relevant eurodollar or domestic certificate of deposit market, all as determined by such Lender in its good faith discretion), but otherwise without penalty. Any such claim by a Lender for compensation shall be made through the Administrative Agent and shall be accompanied by a certificate signed by an officer of such Lender authorized to so act on behalf of such Lender, setting forth in reasonable detail the computation upon which such claim is based. The obligations of the Company under this Section 2.02(e) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(f) Increased Costs - Taxes, Reserve Requirements, Etc.

(i) The Company for and on behalf of each Lender (including, without limitation, the Issuing Lenders) shall pay or cause to be paid directly to the appropriate governmental authority or shall reimburse or compensate each Lender upon demand by such Lender in good faith, acting through the Administrative Agent, for all costs incurred, losses suffered or payments made, as determined by such Lender, by reason of any and all present or future Taxes (including, without limitation, any interest equalization tax or any similar tax on the acquisition of debt obligations), whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally asserted, on or with regard to any aspect of the transactions with respect to this Agreement, the Loans and the Letters of Credit (except for (i) Excluded Taxes and (ii) Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid pursuant to Section 2.02(f)(ii), Section 2.03 or Section 2.04).

(ii) The Company shall pay immediately upon demand by any Lender (including without limitation the Issuing Lenders), acting through the Administrative Agent, any Other Taxes in connection with any Loans, Letters of Credit or this Agreement or in connection with the enforcement hereof or thereof; provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any such Other Taxes on behalf of any Lender that (i) becomes a party to this Agreement by assignment pursuant to Section 13.07 or (ii) designates a new Lending Office, in each case to the extent such Other Taxes are imposed at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement or designates a new Lending Office in an amount greater than the amount the assignor or such Lender was entitled to at the time of the assignment or designation.

(iii) If any Lender or the Administrative Agent receives a refund in respect of Taxes for which such Lender or the Administrative Agent has received payment from the Company hereunder, it shall promptly notify the Company of such refund and shall, within 30 days after receipt of such refund, if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, repay such refund to the Company with interest if any interest is received thereon by such Lender or the Administrative Agent; provided that if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such refund shall be applied to the outstanding Loans or paid to the Company once such Event of Default no longer exists; provided further, that the Company, upon the request of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, agrees to return such refund (plus penalties, interest or other charges) to such Lender or the Administrative Agent in the event such Lender or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund.

(iv) (A) The Company shall reimburse or compensate each Lender upon demand by such Lender, acting through the Administrative Agent, for all costs incurred, losses suffered or payments made in connection with any Eurodollar Loans or any part thereof which costs, losses or payments are a result of any future reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, liabilities of, deposits with or for the account of, or Loans by such Lender imposed on such Lender, its foreign lending branch or the interbank eurodollar market by any regulatory authority, central bank or other governmental authority, whether or not having the force of law, including, without limitation, Regulation D.

(B) If as a result of (y) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation or administration of any law or regulation after the date hereof or (z) the compliance with any request made after the date hereof from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Loans, or issuing Letters of Credit or acquiring or holding participations in Letters of Credit, for which such Lender shall not have been reimbursed pursuant to the provisions of clause (A) above (other than any such increase in costs resulting from Taxes, as to which Sections 2.02(f)(i)-(ii) and 2.03 shall govern), then the Company shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender, acting through the Administrative Agent, pay to such Lender additional amounts sufficient to indemnify such Lender against the full amount of such increased cost.

(C) Any Lender claiming reimbursement or compensation under this Section 2.02(f)(iv) shall make its demand on or before 45 days after the end of each Interest Period during which any such cost is incurred, loss is suffered or payment is made and shall provide the Administrative Agent, which in turn shall provide the Company, with a written statement showing in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount and basis of its request, which statement, subject to Section 2.02(g), shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that in the event any reimbursement or compensation demanded by a Lender under this Section 2.02(f) is a result of reserves actually maintained pursuant to the requirements imposed by Regulation D with respect to “Eurocurrency liabilities” (as defined or within the meaning of such Regulation), such demand shall be accompanied by a statement of such Lender in the form of Exhibit 2.02(f)(iv) attached hereto, which statement shall be conclusive and binding on the Company, subject to Section 2.02(g), except in the case of manifest error. No Lender may request reimbursement or compensation under this Section 2.02(f)(iv) for any period prior to the period for which demand has been made in accordance with the foregoing sentence. In preparing any statement delivered under this Section 2.02(f)(iv), such Lender may employ such assumptions and allocation of costs and expenses as it shall in good ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ reasonable and may be determined by any reasonable averaging and attribution method. So long as any notice requirement provided for herein has been satisfied, any decision by the Administrative Agent or any Lender not to require payment of any interest, cost or other amount payable under this Section 2.02(f)(iv), or to calculate any amount payable by a particular method, on any occasion, shall in no way limit or be deemed a waiver of the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s right to require full payment of any interest, cost or other amount payable hereunder, or to calculate any amount payable by another method, on any other or subsequent occasion for a subsequent Interest Period.

(v) If any Lender shall have determined in good faith that any applicable law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy (each, a “Capital Adequacy Pronouncement”) adopted after the date hereof, or any change after the date hereof in any Capital Adequacy Pronouncement now or hereafter in effect, or any change after the date hereof in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Pronouncement now or hereafter in effect by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or any Lending Office of such Lender) with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) made after the date hereof of any such governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency has the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or the capital of any Person controlling such Lender as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender would have achieved as a consequence of its obligations hereunder but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed in good faith by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, upon notice by the Lender requesting (through the Administrative Agent) compensation, under this Section 2.02(f)(v) within 90 days after such Lender has obtained knowledge of such event, the Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction. Any such claim by a Lender for compensation shall be made through the Administrative Agent and shall be accompanied by a certificate signed by an officer of such Lender authorized to so act on behalf of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation upon which such claim is based.

(vi) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company is required to pay to any Lender amounts pursuant to Section 2.02(f)(i)-(ii), 2.02(f)(iv)-(v) or Section 2.03, the Company may give notice to such Lender (with copies to the Administrative Agent) that it wishes to seek one or more assignees (which may be one or more of the Lenders) to assume the Commitment of such Lender and to purchase its outstanding Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and the Administrative Agent will use its best efforts to assist the Company in obtaining an assignee; provided that if more than one Lender requests that the Company pay substantially and proportionately equal additional amounts under Section 2.02(f) or Section 2.03 and the Company elects to seek an assignee to assume the Commitments of any of such affected Lenders, the Company must seek an assignee or assignees to assume the Commitments of all of such affected Lenders. Each Lender requesting compensation pursuant to Section 2.02(f)(i), Section 2.02(f)(ii), Section 2.02(f)(iv), Section 2.02(f)(v) or Section 2.03 agrees to sell its Commitment, its outstanding Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and interest in this Agreement in accordance with Section 13.07 to any such assignee for an amount equal to the sum of the outstanding unpaid principal of and accrued interest on such Loans, plus all other fees and amounts (including, without limitation, any compensation claimed by such Lender under Section 2.02(e) or Section 2.03) due such Lender hereunder calculated, in each case, to the date such Commitment, Loans and interest are purchased. Upon such sale or prepayment, each such Lender shall have no further Commitment or other obligation to the Company hereunder.

(vii) Any Lender claiming any amounts pursuant to this Section 2.02(f) or Section 2.03 shall use its reasonable good faith efforts (consistent with its internal policies and legal and regulatory restrictions) to avoid or minimize the payment by the Company of any amounts under this Section 2.02(f) or Section 2.03, including changing the jurisdiction of its Lending Office; provided that no such change or action shall be required to be made or taken if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such change would be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

(viii) The obligations of the Company under this Section 2.02(f) created in accordance with this Section 2.02(f) shall survive the termination of the Commitments and this Agreement.

(g) Calculation Errors. Each calculation by the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to amounts owing or to be owing by the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any Loan or Letter of Credit shall be conclusive except in the case of error. In the event the Administrative Agent determines in good faith within a reasonable time that any such error shall have occurred in connection with the determination of the applicable interest rate for any Loan or Letter of Credit which results in the Company paying either more or less than the amount which would have been due and payable but for such error, then (i) any Lender that received an overpayment shall promptly refund such overpayment to the Company and (ii) if any Lender received an underpayment, the Company shall promptly pay to such Lender the amount of such underpayment. In the event it is determined within a reasonable time that any Lender, acting through the Administrative Agent, has miscalculated any amount for which it has demanded reimbursement or compensation from the Company in respect of amounts owing by the Company other than interest which results in the Company paying more or less than the amount which would have been due and payable but for such error, such Lender or the Company, as the case may be, shall promptly refund or pay, as the case may be, to the other the full amount of such overpayment or underpayment. In the event it is determined within a reasonable time that the Company has miscalculated the Commitment Fees due under Section 4.03, which results in the Company paying more or less than the amount which would have been due and payable but for such error, (x) any Lender that received an overpayment shall promptly refund such overpayment to the Company and (y) if any Lender received an underpayment, the Company shall promptly pay to such Lender the amount of such underpayment. Any party making a request for payment pursuant to this Section 2.02(g) shall provide with such request a statement in reasonable detail showing the calculation of the amount requested.

Section 2.03 Setoff, Counterclaims and Taxes. All payments (whether of principal, interest, fees, reimbursements or otherwise) under this Agreement shall be made by the Company without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made free and clear of and without deduction (except as specifically provided in Section 2.04) for any Taxes now or hereafter imposed, other than for Excluded Taxes. Except as specifically provided in Section 2.04, if the Company shall be required by applicable law to deduct or withhold from any such payment any such Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes), then the Company shall (i) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, deduct or withhold an amount equal to such Tax from the amounts payable under this Agreement, (ii) make such Tax payment as so required to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law, and (iii) provided that such Lender has complied with the requirements of Section 2.04, pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, on the date of each such payment, such additional amount as may be necessary in order that the net amount received by such Lender after such deduction or withholding (including any deduction or withholding applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.03) shall equal the amount which would have been received if such deduction or withholding were not required. The Company shall confirm that all applicable Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes), if any, imposed on this Agreement or transactions hereunder shall have been properly and legally paid by it to the appropriate taxing authorities by sending official Tax receipts or notarized copies of such receipts to the Administrative Agent within 30 calendar days after payment of any applicable Tax, to the extent such receipts are issued therefor, or other written proof of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Upon request of any Lender, the Administrative Agent shall forward to such Lender a copy of such official receipt or a copy of such notarized copy of such receipt or other written proof of payment.

Section 2.04 Withholding Tax Exemption.

(a) To the extent not previously delivered, at least five Business Days prior to the first date on which interest or fees are payable hereunder to the Lenders in the case of each Lender that is listed on the signature pages of this Agreement, and on the later of such date and the date of the assignment pursuant to Section 13.07 pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter as reasonably requested in writing by the Company (but only so long thereafter as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so):

(i) each Lender that is a “United States person” that is not a “domestic” corporation (as such terms are defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall provide each of the Administrative Agent and the Company with an original Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, properly completed and duly executed under penalties of perjury; and

(ii) each Lender that is a Foreign Lender shall provide each of the Administrative Agent and the Company with either:

(A) an original Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8IMY or W-8ECI, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, properly completed and duly executed under penalties of perjury, certifying that such Lender is exempt or entitled to a zero (0) rate of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement, or

(B) a certificate, duly executed under penalties of perjury, that it is not (I) a “bank” (within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A)of the Code), (II) a “ten-percent shareholder” (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code) of the Company, or (III) a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Company (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Code), and an original Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8IMY, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, properly completed and duly executed under penalties of perjury, certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Each Lender shall deliver such new forms and documents prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered forms or other documents referred to in Section 2.04(a), or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms or other documents delivered by such Lender. Such Lender shall promptly provide written notice to each of the Administrative Agent and the Company at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered form or other document (or any other form of certification adopted by the Internal Revenue Service for such purpose).

(c) In no event will any withholding by the Company on any interest payable to any Lender as contemplated by this Section 2.04 give rise to a Default under Section 10.01 with respect to payments of interest.

Section 2.05 Discretionary Revolving Loans.

(a) Each Lender may, in its sole discretion and on terms and conditions satisfactory to it and the Company that are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, make additional Loans to the Company under its Revolving Commitment in Dollars on any one or more Business Days on

or after the date hereof and prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date (“Discretionary Revolving Loans”), which Loans will be payable to the appropriate Lender upon such terms and conditions; provided that the Company will not permit to remain outstanding any Discretionary Revolving Loans from any Lender, and no Lender will make any Discretionary Revolving Loans to the Company, if the aggregate principal amount of the Discretionary Revolving Loans and Conventional Revolving Loans payable to such Lender, together with such Lender’s LC Exposure at such time, exceeds such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Should any Discretionary Revolving Loan be outstanding from any Lender on a date on which a Conventional Revolving Borrowing is to be made, such Conventional Revolving Borrowing shall be made available only if the Company has paid or shall simultaneously with the making of such Conventional Revolving Loan, pay such portions of Discretionary Revolving Loans (including, without limitation, the payment of the amount of any losses payable pursuant to Section 2.02(e) actually incurred by such Lender as a result of such prepayment) as shall be necessary to make available a portion of each Lender’s Revolving Commitment at least equal to such Lender’s share of such Conventional Revolving Borrowing. No Discretionary Revolving Loan shall have a maturity, final payment date or interest period that extends beyond the Revolving Credit Termination Date. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness to such Lender resulting from each Discretionary Revolving Loan made by such Lender. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided that the failure of any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Company to repay the Discretionary Revolving Loans in accordance with their terms. The Company hereby unconditionally promises to pay to each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Discretionary Revolving Loan made by such Lender on the earlier of the Revolving Credit Termination Date and the date on which such principal amount is due pursuant to the terms of such Discretionary Revolving Loan.

(b) Promptly upon written request of the Administrative Agent, each Lender will certify in writing the Borrowing Date, principal amount and maturity date of any Discretionary Revolving Loans made during any period for which the Commitment Fee under Section 4.03 is to be calculated. The Company agrees to certify to the Administrative Agent on or before each Quarterly Date the Borrowing Date, principal amount, maturity date and lending Lender for all Discretionary Revolving Loans made during any period for which the Commitment Fee under Section 4.03 is to be calculated.

Section 2.06 [RESERVED]

Section 2.07 [RESERVED]

Section 2.08 Interest Election. (a) Each Conventional Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the type specified in the applicable notice of borrowing and, in the case of a Conventional Revolving Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Loans shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such notice. Thereafter, the Company may elect to convert such Conventional Revolving Borrowing to a different type or to continue such Conventional Revolving Borrowing and, in the case of a Conventional Revolving Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Loans, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.08. The Company may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Conventional Revolving Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Conventional Revolving Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Conventional Revolving Borrowing. This Section 2.08 shall not apply to Discretionary Revolving Loans.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.08 the Company shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a notice of borrowing would be required under the applicable provisions of Section 2.01 if the Company were requesting the advancement

of new funds of the same type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic election shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Company.

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.01:

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

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

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an Alternate Base Rate Loan, a Federal Funds Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Loan; and

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

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Loan but does not specify an Interest Period, or if the Company fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to such a Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless in the case of such failure to deliver an Interest Rate Election the applicable Loans are repaid, the Company shall be deemed to have selected the shortest possible Interest Period.

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

(e) Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default exists and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Majority Lenders, so notifies the Company, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Loan may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Loan and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Loan shall be converted, at the Company’s option either to a Federal Funds Rate Loan or to an Alternate Base Rate Loan at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. The foregoing is without prejudice to the other rights and remedies available hereunder upon an Event of Default.

Section 2.09 Obligations Several, Not Joint. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make its Loan on the date of such borrowing, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of any borrowing.

Section 2.10 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.03, or if the Company is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any governmental authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.03, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans or issue Letters of Credit hereunder, or as set forth in Section 2.13 if any

Lender becomes a Declining Lender, then the Company may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 13.07), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Company shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee or the Company. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 2.11 Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender, at any time and from time to time prior to the date five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Company to, or entered into by the Company with, any Issuing Lender relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Company shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the applicable Issuing Lender) to the applicable Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by any Issuing Lender, the Company also shall submit a letter of credit application on the applicable Issuing Lender’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Company shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $50,000,000 and (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Loans and LC Exposure, shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the earlier of (i) close of business on the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date and (ii) the first anniversary of the date of the issuance (or the most recent extension or renewal) of such Letter of Credit. It is understood that any Letter of Credit may provide for the renewal thereof for additional periods, which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in clause (i) above.

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Lender or the Lenders, the applicable Issuing Lender hereby grants to each Lender, and each such Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Lender, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such

Lender’s Applicable Revolver Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Revolver Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Lender and not reimbursed by the Company on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Company for any reason. Each such Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement. If any Issuing Lender shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Company shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than (i) 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Company shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or (ii) if such notice has not been received by the Company prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Company receives such notice; provided that, if such LC Disbursement is not less than the minimum borrowing amount, the Company may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request that such payment be financed with an Alternate Base Rate Loan or Federal Funds Rate Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Company’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Alternate Base Rate Loan or Federal Funds Rate Loan. If the Company fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Company in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Revolver Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Revolver Percentage of the LC Disbursement not reimbursed by the Company, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.01 with respect to Conventional Revolving Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.02 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of such Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from such Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Company pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Lender or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Lender, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Lender as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Lender for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of Alternate Base Rate Loans or Federal Funds Rate Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Company’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by an Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a

right of setoff against, the Company’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Lender; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the applicable Issuing Lender from liability to the Company to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Company to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Company that are caused by such Issuing Lender’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the applicable Issuing Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Lender shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, each Issuing Lender may, at its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. Each Issuing Lender shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The applicable Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Company by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Lender has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Lender shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Company shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Company reimburses such LC Disbursement, (i) at the Alternate Base Rate until the date on which the Company is obligated to reimburse the Issuing Lender for such LC Disbursement pursuant to Section 2.11(e), and (ii) at the Default Rate thereafter. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse any Issuing Lender shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement of any Issuing Lender, Indemnity. Any Issuing Lender may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Company, the Administrative Agent, the applicable Issuing Lender and the successor Issuing Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Lender. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Company shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Lender. From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the replaced Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Lender” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Lender, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Lenders, as the

context shall require. After the replacement of any Issuing Lender hereunder, the replaced Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit. The Lenders severally agree to indemnify each Issuing Lender (to the extent not reimbursed by the Company), ratably according to the respective amounts of the LC Exposure then held by each of them (or if no LC Exposure is at the time outstanding, ratably according to the respective amount of their Revolving Commitments), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Issuing Lender in its capacity as such in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Company receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Company shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Company described in Sections 10.09, 10.10, 10.11 or 10.12. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Company’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Company for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Company under this Agreement. If the Company is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Company within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

Section 2.12 Evidence of Debt. Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Company shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and the Company. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 13.07) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

Section 2.13 Termination Date Extension. Effective on any anniversary of the Closing Date (but on not more than two occasions), the Company, with the approval of Majority Lenders, may extend the Revolving Credit Termination Date with respect to consenting Lenders by one year (a “Termination Date Extension”). No Lender will be obligated to provide or commit for any such Termination Date Extension.

The Company, to effect such Termination Date Extension, shall provide written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders) not less than 30 days and not more than 120 days prior to any anniversary of the Closing Date. Each Lender shall, by notice to the Company and the Administrative Agent given not later than the 20th day after the date of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the Company’s extension request, advise the Company whether or not it agrees to the requested extension (each Lender agreeing to a requested extension being called a “Consenting Lender” and each Lender declining to agree to a requested extension being called a “Declining Lender”). Any Lender that has not so advised the Company and the Administrative Agent by such day shall be deemed to have declined to agree to such extension and shall be a Declining Lender. If Lenders constituting the Majority Lenders shall have agreed to an extension request, then the Revolving Credit Termination Date shall, as to the Consenting Lenders, be extended to the first anniversary of the Revolving Credit Termination Date theretofore in effect. The decision to agree or withhold agreement to any Revolving Credit Termination Date extension shall be at the sole discretion of each Lender.

The Revolving Commitment of any Declining Lender shall terminate on the Revolving Credit Termination Date in effect as to such Lender prior to giving effect to any such extension (such Revolving Credit Termination Date being called the “Existing Termination Date”). The principal amount of any outstanding Loans made by Declining Lenders, together with any accrued interest thereon and any accrued fees and other amounts payable to or for the accounts of such Declining Lenders hereunder, shall be due and payable on the Existing Termination Date, and on the Existing Termination Date the Company shall also make such other prepayments of its Loans as shall be required in order that, after giving effect to the termination of the Revolving Commitments of, and all payments to, Declining Lenders pursuant to this sentence, the aggregate outstanding Loans and LC Exposure shall not exceed the total Revolving Commitments. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the Company shall have the right, pursuant to Section 2.10, at any time prior to the Existing Termination Date, to replace a Declining Lender with a Lender or other financial institution that will agree to a request for the extension of the Revolving Credit Termination Date, and any such replacement Lender shall for all purposes constitute a Consenting Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no extension of the Revolving Credit Termination Date pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall become effective unless (a) on the anniversary of the Closing Date that immediately follows the date on which the Company delivers the applicable request for extension of the Revolving Credit Termination Date, (i) the representations and warranties contained in Article VI shall be true in all material respects as though made on and as of the date of such anniversary (except, in the case of any exhibit referred to in Article VI, to the extent such exhibit expressly relates to a prior date) and (ii) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (b) the Administrative Agent shall have received an Officer’s Certificate to the effects set forth in clause (a) of this sentence, dated such date.

INTEREST PAYMENT DATE AND COMMITMENT REDUCTION DATE PAYMENTS; OTHER

PAYMENTS

Section 3.01 Optional Prepayments. Loans may be prepaid in whole or from time to time in part at the option of the Company on any Business Day, without premium or penalty, notwithstanding that such Business Day is not an Interest Payment Date; provided that:

(a) losses, if any, incurred by any Lender under Section 2.02(e) shall be payable with respect to each such prepayment of any Eurodollar Loan;

(b) all partial prepayments shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $2,000,000 and an integral multiple of $100,000;

(c) the Company shall give the Administrative Agent not less than one full Business Day’s prior oral or written notice of each prepayment of any Eurodollar Loans, or any portion thereof, and notice to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York, New York time) on the same day of the prepayment of Federal Funds Rate Loans or Alternate Base Rate Loans, or any portion thereof, proposed to be made pursuant to this Section 3.01, specifying the aggregate principal amount to be prepaid and the prepayment date; provided that with respect to each oral notice of a prepayment, the Company shall deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a confirmatory written notice of such proposed prepayment; and

(d) so long as no Event of Default is continuing, prepayments may be allocated, at the option of the Company, to (i) all outstanding Conventional Revolving Loans for payment ratably to the holders thereof and (ii) any or all outstanding Discretionary Revolving Loans.

The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the affected Lenders of the principal amount to be prepaid and the prepayment date. Notice of such prepayment shall be irrevocable and having been given as aforesaid, the principal amount specified in such notice, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of prepayment, shall become due and payable on such prepayment date, and the provisions of Section 2.02(e) shall be applicable. The Company shall have no optional right to prepay the principal amount of any Loan (other than a Discretionary Revolving Loan) other than as provided in this Section 3.01.

Section 3.02 Required Prepayments.

(a) If the Company shall reduce or terminate the respective Revolving Commitments of the Lenders pursuant to Section 4.01, it will prepay to each Lender on the effective date of any such reduction or termination:

(i) in the case of a reduction of the Revolving Commitments, that part of the unpaid principal amount outstanding of the Conventional Revolving Loans and Discretionary Revolving Loans held by such Lender that, when added to such Lender’s LC Exposure, exceeds the amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Lender immediately after such reduction, and

(ii) in the case of termination of the Revolving Commitments, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Conventional Revolving Loans and Discretionary Revolving Loans; together, in each case, with accrued and unpaid interest on the amount being so prepaid and all other amounts accrued and owing under this Agreement on such date.

(b) If on any Borrowing Date the aggregate principal amount of Conventional Revolving Loans, Discretionary Revolving Loans and LC Exposure outstanding to any Lender shall exceed the Revolving Commitment of such Lender, the Company shall promptly pay to such Lender an amount equal to such excess, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the amount so prepaid and all other amounts accrued and owing under this Agreement on such date.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any prepayment required by Section 3.02(a) or Section 3.02(b) with respect to any Conventional Revolving Loan would become due on a date that is not an Interest Payment Date and as a result thereof the Company would incur liabilities under Section 2.02(e), the Company shall make such prepayment to the Administrative Agent on the due date; provided that, if the Company so elects, interest shall continue to accrue on any Loan so prepaid and shall be paid by the Company to the Administrative Agent on the applicable Interest Payment Date. So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent shall hold the proceeds of such prepayment for the benefit of the Lenders holding outstanding Conventional Revolving Loans in an interest bearing account, until such time as such proceeds can be applied towards payment of the Conventional Revolving Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without resulting in any liability of the Company under Section 2.02(e). All interest which may accrue on such amounts so held in escrow shall be held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Company.

(d) All prepayments made pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.02 shall be applied, in the case of Conventional Revolving Loans, first, towards payment of all Federal Funds Rate Loans and Alternate Base Rate Loans, as the Company directs, and secondly, and subject to the provisions of Section 2.02(e), towards payment of the appropriate amount of Eurodollar Loans, as the Company directs. The Company shall have no right to reborrow any amount prepaid under Section 3.02(a).

Section 3.03 Place, etc. of Payments and Prepayments. All payments and prepayments made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (other than with respect to Discretionary Revolving Loans) in respect of the Commitment Fees and the Administrative Agent’s fee and of principal of and interest on the Loans (other than Discretionary Revolving Loans) and of LC Disbursements and interest thereon shall be made to the Administrative Agent in Dollars at its Principal Office, in immediately available funds for the account of the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to the Lenders, in accordance with each Lender’s Prepayment Pro Rata Share as to the Loans being paid or prepaid (other than Discretionary Revolving Loans), in immediately available funds, the amount of principal, interest, LC Disbursements, Commitment Fees and LC Participation Fees received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lenders; provided that if interest shall accrue on any Loan (other than Discretionary Revolving Loans) at a rate different from the rate applicable to any other such Loan, payment and distribution of interest shall be based on the respective accrual rates applicable to such Loans. Any payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender under this Agreement shall constitute payment by the Company to such Lender of the amounts so paid to the Administrative Agent, and any Loans (other than Discretionary Revolving Loans) or portions thereof so paid shall not be considered outstanding for any purpose after the date of such payment to the Administrative Agent.

ARTICLE IV.

REDUCTION OF COMMITMENTS; FEES

Section 4.01 Optional Reduction or Termination of Commitments. The Company may at any time or from time to time reduce ratably in proportion to their respective Revolving Commitments or terminate in whole, the respective Commitments of the Lenders hereunder by giving not less than three full Business Days’ prior written notice to such effect to the Administrative Agent; provided that any partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $2,000,000 and an integral multiple of $250,000; provided further that the Revolving Commitments may not be reduced to an amount less than the aggregate principal amount of Conventional Revolving Loans, Discretionary Revolving Loans and LC Exposure outstanding at such time, unless simultaneously therewith the Company shall make a prepayment in accordance with Section 3.02(a) hereof. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its proportionate share of and of the date of each such reduction. After each such reduction, the Commitment Fees owing to each Lender shall be calculated upon the Commitment of such Lender as so reduced. In the event of acceleration of the maturity date of any Loan (other than Discretionary Revolving Loans), the Commitments hereunder of the Lenders shall thereupon automatically terminate without notice. Each such reduction or any termination of the Commitments hereunder shall be irrevocable.

Section 4.02 Mandatory Termination of Commitments. The Revolving Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Revolving Credit Termination Date and, in the case of a Declining Lender, as provided in Section 2.13.

Section 4.03 Commitment Fees.

(a) The Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, in Dollars, commitment fees (“Commitment Fees”), computed on a daily basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Commitment Fee Rate from time to time in effect from the Closing Date until the Revolving Credit Termination Date, on the daily average unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of such Lender (taking into account all Conventional Revolving Loans and Discretionary Revolving Loans of such Lender outstanding on the dates covered by such calculation). Each such Commitment Fee shall be payable on or before the 15th day following each Quarterly Date and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date or on such earlier date as the Commitment of such Lender shall terminate pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(b) For purposes of computing Commitment Fees with respect to Revolving Commitments, a Revolving Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the LC Exposure of such Lender.

Section 4.04 LC Participation Fees. The Company agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee (“LC Participation Fee”) with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the Margin Percentage used to determine the interest rate applicable to Conventional Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date on which such Lender ceases to have any Revolving Commitment or LC Exposure and (ii) to the Issuing Lenders a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate or rates per annum separately agreed upon by the Company and the applicable Issuing Lender on the average daily stated amount of the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the applicable Issuing

Lender’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Accrued participation fees and fronting fees shall be payable on or before the fifteenth day following each Quarterly Date and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date or on such earlier date as the Revolving Commitments shall terminate pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Lenders pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

Section 4.05 Administrative Agent’s Fee. Until payment in full of the Loans and termination of the Commitments, the Company agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the annual administration fee provided for in the fee letter executed by them.

None of the Arrangers, Syndication Agents or Documentation Agents shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such and the rights herein specifically granted to the Arrangers. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Arrangers, Syndication Agents or Documentation Agents shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on the Administrative Agent or any of the Arrangers, Syndication Agents or Documentation Agents or any representative, co-agent or sub-agent acting with or for any of them in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding Sections of this Article XII shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

ARTICLE XIII.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 13.01 Payment of Expenses. Any provision hereof to the contrary notwithstanding (other than the last sentence of Section 8.06), and whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be consummated, the Company agrees to pay on demand (i) all reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and all amendments hereto (including, without limitation, waivers hereunder and workouts with respect to Loans hereunder), and the other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder or with respect to any amendment hereto, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of any counsel for the Administrative Agent with respect thereto, (ii) all reasonable increases in costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or any Lender (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses, including reasonable allocated costs of in-house legal counsel to the Administrative Agent or any Lender), if any, in connection with the administration of this Agreement after the occurrence of a Default (in the case of the Administrative Agent only) or Event of Default (in the case of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or any Lender) and so long as the same is continuing, and (iii) all reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or any Lender (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses, including reasonable allocated costs of in-house legal counsel to the Administrative Agent or any Lender), if any, in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder. The obligations of the Company under this Section 13.01 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans. It is understood that except as set forth in Section 2.10 the Company shall not be responsible for any costs, fees or expenses related to any assignment or participation by any Lender of any of its rights hereunder (including its Commitment, the Loans made by it or its participation in any Letters or Credit).

Section 13.02 Notices. The Administrative Agent or any Lender giving consent or notice to the Company provided for hereunder shall notify each Lender and the Administrative Agent thereof; provided that consents and notices by a Lender with respect to Discretionary Revolving Loans need only be given to the Administrative Agent. In the event that any Lender shall transfer any Loan in accordance with Section 13.07(c), it shall immediately so advise the Administrative Agent which shall be

entitled to assume conclusively that no transfer of any Loan has been made by any Lender unless and until the Administrative Agent receives written notice to the contrary. Except as otherwise specifically permitted by this Agreement with respect to oral Notices of Borrowing, notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing (including facsimile or electronic communication) and shall be delivered, mailed, or transmitted addressed to the addresses set forth on the Administrative Questionnaires (or, as to the Company or the Administrative Agent, at such other address as shall be designated by such party to the other parties in a written notice to the other parties and, as to each other party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the Company and the Administrative Agent). The Administrative Agent will provide copies of the addresses set forth on the Administrative Questionnaires to the Company upon request. All notices and other communications given to any party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given upon receipt. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may at any time waive any requirement for notice hereunder.

Section 13.03 Setoff. If one or more Events of Default as defined herein shall occur and be continuing, any Lender which is owed any obligation hereunder (“Depositary”) shall have the right, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to it, and is hereby authorized, to the extent permitted by applicable law, at any time and from time to time, without notice to the Company (any such notice being hereby expressly waived by the Company), to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness (whether or not then due and payable) at any time owing by the Depositary to or for the credit or the account of the Company, against any and all of the obligations of the Company now or hereafter existing under this Agreement, irrespective of whether or not the Depositary shall have made any demand for satisfaction of such obligations and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Depositary agrees to notify the Company and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Depositary under this Section 13.03 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) which such Depositary may have hereunder or under any applicable law. Each Depositary agrees that (i) if it shall exercise any such right of banker’s lien, setoff, counterclaim or similar right pursuant hereto, it will apply the proceeds thereof first to the payment of Loans (other than Discretionary Revolving Loans) and LC Disbursements outstanding hereunder and thereafter to the payment of Discretionary Revolving Loans which may be owing to it and (ii) if it shall through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff, counterclaim or otherwise obtain payment of a proportion of the Loans (other than Discretionary Revolving Loans) and participations in LC Disbursements held by it in excess of the proportion of the Loans (other than Discretionary Revolving Loans) and participations in LC Disbursements of each of the other Depositaries being paid simultaneously, it shall be deemed to have simultaneously purchased from each other Depositary a participation in the Loans (other than Discretionary Revolving Loans) and participations in LC Disbursements owed to such other Depositaries so that the amount of unpaid Loans (other than Discretionary Revolving Loans) and participations therein and participations in LC Disbursements held by all Depositaries shall be proportionate to the original principal amount of the Loans (other than Discretionary Revolving Loans) and participations in LC Disbursements held by them; and in each case it shall promptly remit to each such Depositary the amount of the participation thus deemed to have been purchased. The Company expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements, and in furtherance thereof, agrees that at such time as an Event of Default hereunder has occurred, the Administrative Agent shall provide to each Lender a schedule setting forth the Commitment of each Lender hereunder to permit each Lender to correctly determine the portion which its Commitment hereunder bears to the aggregate of all Commitments hereunder. If all or any portion of any such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the Depositary which received the same, the purchase provided for herein shall be deemed to have been rescinded to the extent of such recovery, without interest.

Section 13.04 Indemnity and Judgment. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify each of the Administrative Agent, Arrangers, Syndication Agents, Documentation Agents, Lenders and Issuing Lenders and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, controlling persons and Affiliates from and hold each harmless against any and all losses, costs, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by any of the foregoing Persons (collectively, the “indemnified liabilities”), including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, settlement costs, court costs and other legal expenses, arising out of or by reason of any participation in, or any action or omission in connection with, this Agreement or any Loan (including any Discretionary Revolving Loan) hereunder or any Letter of Credit issued hereunder (including any refusal by an Issuing Lender to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit) or any investigation, litigation or other proceedings brought or threatened relating thereto, or to any use or proposed use to be made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Loans or Letters of Credit, but, in the case only of Lenders or Issuing Lenders other than the Administrative Agent, Arrangers, Syndication Agents and Documentation Agents, only to the extent that the indemnified liabilities arise out of or by reason of claims made by Persons other than the Administrative Agent, Arrangers, Syndication Agents, Documentation Agents or Lenders; provided that no such Person shall be entitled to be indemnified and held harmless against any such indemnified liabilities arising out of or by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any of the Lenders, Administrative Agent, Arrangers, Syndication Agents and Documentation Agents or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, controlling persons and Affiliates, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and Company hereby waives, releases and agrees not to ▇▇▇ upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

(b) The obligations of the Company under this Section 13.04 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all Loans and other amounts owing hereunder.

Section 13.05 Interest. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall never be required to pay unearned interest on any Loan and shall never be required to pay interest on any Loan at a rate in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, and if the effective rate of interest which would otherwise be payable under this Agreement would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, or if any Lender shall receive any unearned interest or shall receive monies that are deemed to constitute interest which would increase the effective rate of interest payable under this Agreement to a rate in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then (i) in lieu of the amount of interest which would otherwise be payable under this Agreement, the Company shall pay the Highest Lawful Rate, and (ii) any unearned interest paid by the Company or any interest paid by the Company in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate shall be credited on the principal of such Loan, and, thereafter, refunded to the Company. It is further agreed that, without limitation of the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest contracted for, charged or received by any Lender under this Agreement, that are made for the purpose of determining whether such rate exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Lender (such Highest Lawful Rate being such Lender’s “Maximum Permissible Rate”), shall be made, to the extent permitted by usury laws applicable to such Lender (now or hereafter enacted), by amortizing, prorating and spreading in equal parts during the period of the full stated term of the Loans all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received by such Lender in connection therewith. If at any time and from time to time (y) the amount of interest payable to any Lender on any date shall be computed at such Lender’s Maximum Permissible Rate pursuant to this

Section 13.05 and (z) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Lender would be less than the amount of interest payable to such Lender computed at such Lender’s Maximum Permissible Rate, then the amount of interest payable to such Lender in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at such Lender’s Maximum Permissible Rate until the total amount of interest payable to such Lender shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to such Lender if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to this Section.

Section 13.06 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Venue.

(a) THIS AGREEMENT AND OTHER DOCUMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE CONTRACTS AND AGREEMENTS EXECUTED BY THE COMPANY, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS UNDER THE LAWS OF THE ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ AND FOR ALL PURPOSES SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAWS OF SAID STATE AND OF THE UNITED STATES. Without limitation of the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any rights which any Lender may have under applicable Federal law relating to the amount of interest which such Lender may contract for, take, receive or charge in respect of any Loans, including any right to take, receive, reserve and charge interest at the rate allowed by the laws of the state where such Lender is located. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement may be brought in the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York City or of the United States for the Southern District of New York, and by execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company hereby irrevocably accepts for itself and in respect of its Property, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. The Company further irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Company at its address for notices pursuant to Section 13.02, such service to become effective 15 days after such mailing. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against the Company in any other jurisdiction.

(b) The Company irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement brought in the courts referred to in clause (a) above and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Section 13.07 Survival of Representations and Warranties; Binding Effect; Assignment.

(a) All representations, warranties and covenants contained herein or made in writing by the Company in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and will bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto, whether so expressed or not. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Company, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Company shall not have the right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of each Lender.

(b) Each Lender may grant participations to one or more Financial Institutions in or to all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a

portion of its Commitment) pursuant to such participation agreements and certificates as are customary in the banking industry; provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation its Commitment to the Company hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Company, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation, such Lender’s rights under Article XI hereof. In connection with any such participation, each Lender may deliver such financial information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries to permit such participant to make an informed and independent credit decision concerning such participation; provided that each such Lender shall obtain from each such participant an agreement to the effect that all such information delivered to it in connection with such participation shall be treated in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.14. Upon request of the Company, each Lender shall give prompt notice to the Company of each such participation to Financial Institutions that are not Affiliates of such Lender, identifying each such participant and the interest acquired by each such participant. This Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any Person, including, without limitation, any Financial Institution acquiring a participation in any Loan, other than the parties to this Agreement, except that any Financial Institution acquiring a participation shall be entitled to the benefits conferred upon the Lenders by Sections 2.02(e)-(f) and 2.03, as limited or modified by Sections 2.02(g) and 2.04 (provided that the cost to the Company is not in excess of what such cost would have been had such participation not been granted).

(c) Subject to the prior written consent of the Company, the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), each Lender may assign to a bank or other Person all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments, Loans or Letters of Credit); provided that (i) each such assignment shall be in an amount equal to or greater than $5,000,000, with respect to assignments of a Lender’s Revolving Commitment or Conventional Revolving Loans (in each case, except in the case of assignments to Lenders or Lender Affiliates, assignment of the assigning Lender’s entire remaining commitment or unless otherwise agreed by the Company), (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one class of Commitments or Loans, (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Assumption in substantially the form of Exhibit 13.07(c) attached hereto (the “Assignment and Assumption”), together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that (y) such recordation fee shall not be payable if such transfer is made pursuant to Sections 2.02(d) or (f)(vi) and (z) under no circumstances will such recordation fee be payable by the Company, and provided, further, that any consent of the Company required under this paragraph shall not be required for assignments to Lenders, Lender Affiliates or an Approved Fund, or in the event an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (iv) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Company and its related parties or its securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, which effective date shall be the date on which such Assignment and Assumption is accepted by the Administrative Agent, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and (y) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been

assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Company, the option to provide to the Company all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Company pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan, (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof, and such Granting Lender shall be liable hereunder generally for all acts and omissions of such SPC as if such acts and omissions were committed by such Granting Lender; (iii) the SPC shall have no rights or benefits under this Agreement or any Note or any other related documents (its rights against such Granting Lender being as set forth in any agreements between such SPC and such Granting Lender), and shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder; (iv) all amounts payable by the Company to the Granting Lender shall be determined as if such Granting Lender had not granted such option, and as if such Granting Lender were funding each of its Loans and its share of the Commitments in the same way that it is funding the portion of such Loans and its share of the Loan Commitments in which no such option has been granted; and (v) in no event shall a Granting Lender agree with an SPC to take or refrain from taking any action hereunder or under any Note or any other related document, except that such Granting Lender may agree with the SPC that it will not, without the consent of the SPC, agree to any modification, supplement or waiver of this Section 13.07(d). The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender), (ii) no SPC shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.02(d), (e) or (f) (or any other increased costs protection provision) other than as contemplated by clause (iv) of the second preceding sentence and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including, without limitation, the approval of any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any related document, remain the Lender of record hereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States of any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 13.07(d) any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Company and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loan to the Granting Lender or to any Financial Institutions (consented to by the Company and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC, provided that prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement shall undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of such information. This Section may not be amended without the written consent of the SPC.

(e) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption, the Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Assumption, such assigning Lender makes

no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Company or the performance or observance by the Company of any of its respective obligations under this Agreement; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Sections 6.02 and 8.02 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Assumption; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such assigning Lender 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 decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with its terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(f) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 13.02 a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans, including Discretionary Revolving Loans, if any, owing to, each Lender, and participations in LC Disbursements held by each Lender, in each case from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(g) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Assumption has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit 13.07(c) attached hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Assumption, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Company.

(h) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time, without the consent of the Company, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender, assign or pledge all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Loans) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; provided that no such assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such Federal Reserve Bank for such Lender as a party hereto. In order to facilitate such an assignment to a Federal Reserve Bank, the Company shall, at the request of the assigning Lender, duly execute and deliver to the assigning Lender a promissory note or notes evidencing the Loans made to the Company by the assigning Lender hereunder.

Section 13.08 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, and by the parties hereto on separate counterparts. When counterparts executed by all the parties shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent, this Agreement shall become effective, and at such time the Administrative Agent shall notify the Company and each Lender. Each counterpart, when so executed and delivered, shall constitute an original instrument, and all such separate counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 13.09 Severability. Should any clause, sentence, paragraph or section of this Agreement be judicially declared to be invalid, unenforceable or void, such decision will not have the effect of invalidating or voiding the remainder of this Agreement, and the parties hereto agree that the part or parts of this Agreement so held to be invalid, unenforceable or void will be deemed to have been stricken herefrom and the remainder will have the same force and effectiveness as if such part or parts had never been included herein.

Section 13.10 Descriptive Headings. The section headings in this Agreement have been inserted for convenience only and shall be given no substantive meaning or significance whatever in construing the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

Section 13.11 Representation of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby represents and warrants that it is not relying upon any Margin Stock as collateral in extending or maintaining the credit to the Company represented by this Agreement.

Section 13.12 Final Agreement of the Parties. This Agreement (including the Exhibits hereto) represents the final agreement of the parties with respect to the subject mater hereof and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no oral agreements between the parties.

Section 13.13 Waiver of Jury Trial. THE COMPANY, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

Section 13.14 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party to this Agreement, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 13.14, to (A) any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (B) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Company and its obligations, (vii) with the consent of the Company or (viii) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (B) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Company or any of its agents. For the purposes of this Section 13.14, “Information” means all information received from or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective businesses. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 13.14 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Section 13.15 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Company that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Company, which information includes the name and address of the Company and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Company in accordance with the Act.

[Intentionally left blank]

Opinion of the Company’s Counsel addressed to the Lenders

To each of the Lenders party to

the Credit Agreement hereinafter referred

to and to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.,

as Administrative Agent thereunder, and to

▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Securities Inc., ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Brothers Inc.

and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as Joint Lead

Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners thereunder

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel for ▇▇▇ Radio, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Credit Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, among the Company, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, ▇.▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Securities Inc., ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Brothers Inc. and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners, and the Lenders (the “Credit Agreement”). As such counsel, we participated in the preparation of the Credit Agreement, and this opinion is rendered pursuant to Section 7.01(a) thereof. Terms used in this opinion that are defined in the Credit Agreement and are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement.

In connection herewith, we have examined only (i) the Credit Agreement, (ii) the Certificate of Incorporation and the By-laws of the Company certified by the Company as being true and complete and in full force and effect on the date of this opinion (collectively, the “Organizational Documents”), (iii) the orders, writs, injunctions and decrees of courts and governmental authorities and the agreements relating to the incurrence by the Company or any Subsidiary of indebtedness for borrowed money, listed on Schedule A attached hereto (the “Listed Orders and Contracts”), which the Company has informed us are the only orders, writs, injunctions, decrees and agreements relating to the incurrence by the Company or any Subsidiary of indebtedness for borrowed money, the breach, violation or contravention of which would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect upon the business, properties or financial condition of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, (iv) a Certificate of Good Standing issued by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware regarding the status of the Company (the “Good Standing Certificate”) and (v) the FCC Records, as defined below. We have assumed the genuineness of signatures on original documents. Except as expressly stated herein, we have not reviewed for purposes of this opinion any other documents, agreements, or instruments, and we have assumed that there are no other documents, agreements, or instruments that are relevant to, or that would affect, any of our opinions

contained herein. We have assumed the conformity to authentic original documents of all copies submitted to us as certified, conformed, photographic or facsimile copies, and as to certificates, telegrams and telephonic confirmations issued or given by public officials, we have assumed the same to have been properly given and to be accurate as to the factual matters contained therein. We have assumed, without inquiry or investigation, that the Credit Agreement has been executed and delivered by you pursuant to due authorization and constitutes your valid, legally binding and enforceable obligation.

With respect to questions of fact material to the opinions expressed herein, we have relied solely upon the following information, in each case without any inquiry or verification by us: (a) written and oral statements of management of the Company, (b) the representations and warranties of the Company in the Credit Agreement and in the various closing certificates and other documents delivered pursuant thereto, (c) certificates of public officials and (d) the FCC Records. Furthermore, we have assumed, without inquiry or investigation, that the only interest, fees (including, without limitation, standby fees, origination fees, discount points and facility fees, which, together with any and all other fees, are hereinafter referred to collectively as “fees”) or other charges of any kind contracted for or previously collected or to be hereafter collected by any of the Lenders in connection with the Loans are described or referred to in the Credit Agreement, the Commitment Letter dated June 20, 2006 (the “Commitment Letter”), and the Fee Letters (as defined in the Commitment Letter), and all such interest, fees or other charges have been or will be applied for the purposes described in the Credit Agreement. Whenever a statement herein is qualified by “known to us,” “to our knowledge,” or a similar phrase, it means that none of the attorneys in this firm who have been involved in the preparation of this opinion has current actual knowledge of the inaccuracy of such statement. However, we have not undertaken any investigation to determine the accuracy of such statement, and any limited inquiry undertaken by us during the preparation of this opinion should not be regarded as such an investigation; no inference as to our current actual knowledge of any matters bearing on the accuracy of any such statement should be drawn from the fact of our representation of the Company.

Our opinions in numbered paragraphs 2, 6 and 8 (the “FCC Opinions”) are strictly limited to matters arising under the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and the published rules, regulations and policies of the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”) (collectively, the “Communications Act”) relating to the Company’s radio broadcast stations identified on Schedule B attached hereto (the “Stations”). We do not purport to express opinions in the FCC Opinions concerning any laws other than the Communications Act. We express no opinions regarding technical or engineering matters, or matters relating to the FCC’s ownership regulations and policies. Except for a review of certain publicly available records of and inquiries to the FCC as described below, we have not made any independent review or investigation of the Company or of any of its Subsidiaries, their operations or their businesses or of the operations or businesses of any other person or entity in connection with the FCC Opinions. In addition, we have not conducted an inspection of any of the Stations, their work product, records or operations. Other than our review as of June 30 through July 10, 2006, of the publicly available records including publicly available databases of the FCC in Washington, D.C., pertaining to the Stations, and responses from the FCC’s Enforcement Bureau on July 10, 2006, and the Policy Division of the FCC’s Media Bureau on July 5 and July 6, 2006, to our inquiries concerning current FCC investigations and pending complaints with respect to the

Stations (the “FCC Records”), we have not undertaken any inquiry to determine the existence or absence of any facts. We have assumed without independent inquiry that the FCC Records were accurate and complete at the time of examination and inquiries by us and remain accurate and complete as of the date hereof. We have not searched the docket files of any court. Our opinions, to the extent they address authorizations issued by the FCC, are limited to the main radio broadcast license for the Stations identified in Schedule B attached hereto. Our opinions exclude auxiliary licenses issued under Part 74 of the FCC’s rules and other ancillary authorizations that do not authorize full service radio broadcast operations.

Except as specifically noted herein, the opinions stated herein relating to the Stations are limited strictly to such areas of compliance as can be demonstrated by a review of the FCC Records.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications and limitations contained herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. Based solely on our review of the Organizational Documents and the Good Standing Certificate, the Company is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

2. Except with respect to rulemakings and matters relating generally to the radio broadcast industry, and except as may be noted on Schedule C hereto, to our knowledge, based solely upon our review of the FCC Records, there is (a) no adverse FCC judgment, decree or order that has been issued specifically against any of the Stations or against the Company or any Subsidiary with respect to any of the Stations that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (b) no FCC action, proceeding or investigation pending before the FCC against any Station, the Company or any Subsidiary that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. It is possible that there may be matters pending before the FCC relating to the Stations, the Company or its Subsidiaries of which we do not have knowledge because such matters are not publicly available as a matter of law or are not publicly available as a matter of fact because they are not contained within the publicly available files or the publicly available databases of the FCC, which have been reviewed by us.

3. Neither the execution nor delivery by the Company of the Credit Agreement, nor the borrowing and repayment of the Loans pursuant thereto, will be contrary to the provisions of, or constitute a default under, (a) the Organizational Documents or any Applicable Law (as hereinafter defined) or, (b) to our knowledge, any of the Listed Orders and Contracts.

4. Assuming the accuracy of the Company’s representations and warranties regarding Regulations T, U and X in the Credit Agreement, and that the Company complies with the covenants of the Credit Agreement applicable to Regulations T, U and X, the extension, arranging and obtaining of the credit represented by the Credit Agreement do not involve a violation of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

5. The Company has the corporate power and authority under Applicable Law and the Organizational Documents to execute and deliver the Credit Agreement and to perform its obligations thereunder, and all such actions have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate proceedings on its part. The Credit Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered

by the Company. A state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Georgia in a properly presented case applying Georgia’s choice of law principles should give effect to the selection, in the first sentence of Section 13.06 of the Credit Agreement, of the laws of the State of New York as the governing law of the Credit Agreement, assuming that (i) the State of New York has a reasonable relation to the parties to or the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement, and (ii) the results obtained from applying the laws of the State of New York would not be contrary to the public policies of the State of Georgia. Because choice of law issues are decided on a case-by-case basis, depending upon the facts of the particular transaction, we are unable to conclude with absolute certainty that a state or federal court in the State of Georgia would give effect to the provisions of the Credit Agreement and must, therefore, make the aforesaid assumptions. If, notwithstanding the provisions of the Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement were governed by the laws of the State of Georgia (and not by the laws of the State of New York), the Credit Agreement would constitute the valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

6. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Credit Agreement do not violate the Communications Act, and no other order, consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of the FCC and no other filing with or notice to the FCC under the Communications Act is necessary to authorize or permit, or is required in connection with, the execution and delivery by the Company of the Credit Agreement or the making of Borrowings pursuant to the Credit Agreement or the performance of the obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement.

7. The Company (a) is not an “investment company,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), (b) does not directly or indirectly control or is not controlled by a company which is an “investment company” as that term is defined in the Act or (c) is not otherwise subject to regulation under the Act.

8. Based upon our above-described review of the FCC Records, the Company and its Subsidiaries hold the authorizations issued by the FCC listed on Schedule B hereto (the “Licenses”) identified on Schedule B as held by such entity. To our knowledge, based solely upon our above-described review of the FCC Records, except as set forth on Schedule B, each of the Licenses is currently valid, has not been revoked by the FCC and authorizes radio broadcast operations by the holder thereof identified on Schedule B using the frequency assignment and serving the community of license that is identified on Schedule B for each of the Licenses.

The opinions set forth above are subject to the following qualifications and assumptions:

a. The enforceability of the Credit Agreement is subject to general principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law, and to the effect of bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or transfer, moratorium and other laws affecting creditors’ rights or the relief of debtors generally.

b. We express no opinion concerning the enforceability of (i) waivers of notice or of any other constitutional, statutory or common law rights, including, without limitation, the right to a trial by jury, to the extent such rights cannot, as a matter of law, be

effectively waived, (ii) rights of set-off otherwise than in accordance with applicable laws and other provisions regarding the exercise of rights without appropriate notice and hearing, (iii) indemnification or contribution provisions to the extent such provisions are deemed to violate public policy or to indemnify or protect a Person against the consequences of its own negligence, recklessness, or misconduct, (iv) submissions to the personal jurisdiction of any particular court or provisions relating to selection of venue, (v) provisions purporting to alter principles governing the interpretation of contracts and (vi) any provision requiring the payment of attorneys’ fees, except to the extent that a court determines such fees to be reasonable.

c. We express no opinion with respect to any order, consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of any governmental authority and no filing with or notice to any governmental authority or any other Person that may be required in connection with, the exercise by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Person of any remedies under the Credit Agreement.

d. We advise you that the exercise of any right or remedy by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders that constitutes an assignment of any License or other authorization issued by the FCC, and transfers of control thereof, may require the prior consent of the FCC, and we express no opinion as to the likelihood of obtaining any such consent of the FCC.

e. We render no opinion as to any financial or accounting determinations by the Company or compliance by the Company with any financial covenants in the Credit Agreement or in any agreement included in the Listed Orders and Contracts.

The foregoing opinion is limited in all respects to the laws of the State of Georgia, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and applicable federal law (collectively, “Applicable Law”). However, the term “Applicable Law” is limited to those laws and regulations that a lawyer exercising customary professional diligence would reasonably recognize as being directly applicable to the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement and does not include laws and regulations of any county, municipal and special political subdivision, whether state, regional or otherwise, and those set forth in Section 19 of the Legal Opinion Accord of the Section of Business Law of the American Bar Association (1991). We note that the Credit Agreement by its terms is governed by the law of the State of New York. Our opinion is given as if the Credit Agreement were to be governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, rather than the laws of the State of New York or the laws of any other state. In addition, except as expressly set forth in paragraph 5 above, no opinion is rendered hereunder with respect to any choice of law or conflict of laws provisions set forth in the Credit Agreement.

This opinion is as of the date hereof, and we expressly disclaim any duty to update this opinion in the future in the event there are any changes in fact or law that may affect any matter addressed herein.

This opinion is being furnished to you for your use and the use of any future assignee or participant in any Loan pursuant to an assignment or a participation that is made and consented to in accordance with the express provisions of Section 13.07 of the Credit Agreement, on the condition and understanding that (i) this opinion is as of the date hereof, (ii) we expressly

disclaim any duty to update this opinion in the future, to consider its applicability or correctness to other than its addressees, or to take into account changes in fact or law that may affect any matter addressed herein, and (iii) any such reliance by a future assignee or participant must be actual and reasonable under the circumstances existing at the time of assignment or participation, including any changes in fact or law known to or reasonably knowable by the assignee or participant at such time. This opinion is not to be quoted in whole or in part or otherwise referred to in any documents, nor may it be delivered to, filed with or relied upon by any governmental agency or other person without our prior written consent.

Schedule C

Proceedings

The FCC’s Enforcement Bureau, in response to an inquiry on behalf of the Company, reports that one or more complaints have been filed against WBTS(FM), WFYV-FM, WWKA(FM) and WHTQ(FM), but in accordance with its normal practice, did not divulge the subject matter of the complaints. The FCC has not requested that WFYV-FM, WWKA(FM) or WHTQ(FM) respond to a complaint. The Enforcement Bureau does not expect a licensee to respond to a complaint until the Bureau has determined that the complaint warrants a response. Unless and until such a determination has been made, the Enforcement Bureau, as a matter of general policy, does not release the text of the complaint. Complaints that address matters outside the FCC’s jurisdiction or that are otherwise deficient typically are dismissed through form letters without notice to the licensee. On June 8, 2006 the FCC’s Enforcement Bureau sent a letter to WBTS(FM) seeking information about the Company’s compliance with the FCC’s indecency rules. The Company responded to the FCC on June 28, 2006, informing the FCC that it elected not to challenge any FCC finding that the programming involved was indecent.
