Each Bank is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Borrower so to endorse its Note and to attach to and make a part of its Note a continuation of any such schedule as and when required.

(c) The Committed Loans shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable, on the Maturity Date.

Each such election shall be made by delivering a notice (a “Notice of Interest Rate Election”) to the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Euro-Currency Business Days prior to, but excluding, the effective date of the conversion or continuation selected in such notice. A Notice of Interest Rate Election may, if it so specifies, apply to only a portion of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Group of Loans; provided that (i) such portion is allocated ratably among the Loans comprising such Group, (ii) the portion to which such Notice applies, and the remaining portion to which it does not apply, are each in the minimum amounts required hereby, (iii) no Committed Loan may be continued as, or converted into, a Euro-Currency Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, provided, however, that if and for so long as Borrower shall have an Investment Grade Rating from S&P and ▇▇▇▇▇’▇, if Borrower shall so request and the Required Banks shall so elect, then a Committed Loan may be continued as, or converted into, a

Euro-Currency Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (iv) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the Maturity Date.

(b) Each Notice of Interest Rate Election shall specify:

(i) the Group of Loans (or portion thereof) to which such notice applies;

(ii) the date on which the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective, which shall comply with the applicable clause of subsection (a) above;

(iii) if the Loans comprising such Group are to be converted, the new type of Loans and, if such new Loans are Euro-Currency Loans, the duration of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto; and

(iv) if such Loans are to be continued as Euro-Currency Loans for an additional Interest Period, the duration of such additional Interest Period.

Each Interest Period specified in a Notice of Interest Rate Election shall comply with the provisions of the definition of Interest Period.

(c) Upon receipt of a Notice of Interest Rate Election from the Borrower pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Bank the same day as it receives such Notice of Interest Rate Election of the contents thereof, the interest rates determined pursuant thereto and the Interest Periods (if different from those requested by the Borrower) and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Notice of Interest Rate Election to the Administrative Agent for any Group of Euro-Currency Loans, such Dollar Loans shall be converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.6. Interest Rates.

(a) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Loan is made until the date it is repaid or converted into a Euro-Currency Loan pursuant to Section 2.5, at a rate per annum equal to sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans for such day.

(b) Each Euro-Currency Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day during the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin for Euro-Currency Loans for such day plus the Euro-Currency Rate applicable to such Interest Period.

(c) In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any overdue principal amount of the Loans, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, overdue interest and fees in respect of all Loans, shall bear interest at the annual rate equal to the sum of the Base Rate and two percent (2%), or, if any Committed Loan shall have been continued as, or converted into, a Euro-Currency Loan, then, as to such

Loan only, the sum of the Euro-Currency Rate and the Applicable Margin for Euro-Currency Loans, and two percent (2%) (collectively, the “Default Rate”).

(d) The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the Banks of each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error.

(e) Interest on all Loans bearing interest at the Base Rate shall be payable on the first Business Day of each calendar month. Interest on all Loans bearing interest based on the Euro-Currency Rate shall be payable on the last Euro-Currency Business Day of the applicable Interest Period.

SECTION 2.7. Fees.

(a) Commitment Fee. If the Closing Date shall not have occurred by August 15, 2007, for the period beginning on August 15, 2007 and ending on the Closing Date or the date on which the Commitments are otherwise terminated hereunder (the “Commitment Fee Period”), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments a commitment fee on the aggregate Commitments at the rate of 0.10% per annum. The commitment fee shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December during the Commitment Fee Period and on the Closing Date and the date of any termination of the Commitments.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates as set forth in any agreements with the Administrative Agent and to perform any other obligations contained therein.

SECTION 2.8. Termination of Commitments and Maturity Date. The term (the “Term”) of the Commitments (and each Bank’s obligations to make Loans) shall terminate and expire on the Closing Date, which shall not be later than October 15, 2007. Any Loans outstanding on the Maturity Date (together with accrued interest thereon and all other Obligations) shall be due and payable on such date.

SECTION 2.9. Optional Prepayments.

(a) The Borrower may, upon at least one (1) Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent, prepay any Group of Base Rate Loans, in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) or more, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment.

(b) The Borrower may, upon at least three (3) Euro-Currency Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, given no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time, with respect to Dollar denominated Loans) pay all, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating the amount of approximately Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) or more, of any Euro-Currency Loan as of the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. Except as provided in Article 8 and except with respect to any Euro-Currency Loan which has been converted to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 8.2, 8.3 or 8.5 hereof, the Borrower may not prepay all or any portion of the

principal amount of any Euro-Currency Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto unless the Borrower shall also pay any applicable expenses pursuant to Section 2.12. Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the Banks included in any Group of Euro-Currency Loans, except that any Euro-Currency Loan which has been converted to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 8.2, 8.3 or 8.5 hereof may be prepaid without ratable payment of the other Loans in such Group of Loans which have not been so converted.

(c) Any amounts so prepaid pursuant to Section 2.9 (a) or (b) may not be reborrowed.

SECTION 2.10. Mandatory Prepayments. The Committed Loans shall be prepaid upon receipt by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date of Net Offering Proceeds from the issuance or sale of its Capital Stock or Indebtedness (other than any Indebtedness of any Subsidiary incurred in the ordinary course of business and other than any Indebtedness under the Existing Credit Agreement and the New Revolving Credit Agreement) in a capital markets transaction in an amount equal to such Net Offering Proceeds.

SECTION 2.11. General Provisions as to Payments.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment of the principal of and interest on the Loans and fees hereunder, without set-off or counterclaim, by initiating a wire transfer not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date when due, of Federal or other appropriate funds immediately available in New York, New York, to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.1. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Bank its ratable share of each such payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on the Base Rate Loans or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Euro-Currency Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Euro-Currency Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Euro-Currency Business Day unless such Euro-Currency Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the immediately preceding Euro-Currency Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Banks hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Bank on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Bank. If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have so made such payment, each Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank until the date such Bank repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

SECTION 2.12. Funding Losses. If the Borrower makes any payment of principal with respect to any Euro-Currency Loan (pursuant to Article II, VI or VIII or otherwise) on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or if the Borrower fails to borrow any Euro-Currency Loans after notice has been given to any Bank in accordance with Section 2.5(a), or if Borrower shall deliver a Notice of Interest Rate Election specifying that a Euro-Currency Loan shall be converted on a date other than the first (1st) day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall reimburse each Bank within 15 days after certification by such Bank of such loss or expense (which shall be delivered by each such Bank to Administrative Agent for delivery to Borrower) for any resulting loss (based on interest only, exclusive of fees, if any) or expense incurred by it (or by an existing Participant in the related Loan), including, without limitation, any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, but excluding loss of margin for the period after any such payment or failure to borrow, provided that such Bank shall have delivered to Administrative Agent and Administrative Agent shall have delivered to the Borrower a certification as to the amount of such loss or expense, which certification shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for and calculation of such loss or expense and shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error.

SECTION 2.13. Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or, in the case of interest based on the Prime Rate only, 366 days in a leap year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All other interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

In order to induce the Administrative Agent and each of the other Banks which is or may become a party to this Agreement to make the Loans, the Borrower makes the following representations and warranties as of the Closing Date and, in accordance with Section 3.1(k) hereof, as of each Borrowing. Such representations and warranties shall survive the effectiveness of this Agreement, the execution and delivery of the other Loan Documents and the making of the Loans.

SECTION 4.1. Existence and Power. The Borrower is a corporation, duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Maryland and has all powers and all material governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals required to own its property and assets and carry on its business as now conducted or as it presently proposes to conduct and has been duly qualified and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified and/or in good standing is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

The Borrower has the requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and has taken all necessary action, if any, to authorize the execution and delivery on behalf of the Borrower and the performance by the Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party. The Borrower has duly executed and delivered each Loan Document to which it is a party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and each such Loan Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable insolvency, bankruptcy or other similar laws affecting creditors rights generally, or general principles of equity, whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

SECTION 4.3. No Violation. Neither the execution, delivery or performance by or on behalf of the Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, nor compliance by the Borrower with the terms and provisions thereof nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such Loan Documents, (i) will materially contravene any applicable provision of any law, statute, rule, regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, (ii) will materially conflict with or result in any breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien upon any of the property or assets of the Borrower or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, or other agreement or other instrument to which the

Borrower (or of any partnership of which the Borrower is a partner) or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its property or assets is bound or to which it is subject (except for such breaches and defaults under loan agreements which the lenders thereunder have agreed to forbear pursuant to valid forbearance agreements), or (iii) will cause a material default by the Borrower under any organizational document of any Person in which the Borrower has an interest, or cause a material default under the Borrower’s agreement or certificate of limited partnership, the consequences of which conflict, breach or default would have a Material Adverse Effect, or result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien whatsoever upon any Property (except as contemplated herein).

SECTION 4.4. Financial Information. (a) The consolidated financial statement of Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006, and for the Fiscal Year then ended, reported on by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP fairly present, in conformity with GAAP, the consolidated financial position of Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for such Fiscal Year; and, the consolidated financial statement of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of March 31, 2007 and for the fiscal quarter then ended fairly present, in conformity with GAAP, the consolidated financial position of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for such fiscal quarter, subject to normal year-end audit adjustments.

(b) Since December 31, 2006, (i) except as may have been disclosed in writing to the Banks prior to the Closing Date, nothing has occurred having a Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) except as set forth on Schedule 4.4(b), Borrower has not incurred any material Indebtedness or guaranteed any Indebtedness on or before the Closing Date.

SECTION 4.5. Litigation. There is no action, suit or proceeding pending against, or to the knowledge of the Borrower threatened against or affecting, (i) the Borrower or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries, (ii) the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or (iii) any of the assets of the Borrower or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries, before any court or arbitrator or any governmental body, agency or official in which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse decision which could, individually, or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect or which in any manner draws into question the validity of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 4.6. Compliance with ERISA. (a) Except as set forth on Schedule 4.6 attached hereto, Borrower is not a member of nor has entered into, maintained, contributed to, or been required to contribute to, or may incur any liability with respect to any Plan or Multiemployer Plan. In the event that at any time after the Closing Date, Borrower shall become a member of any other material Plan or Multiemployer Plan, Borrower promptly shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof (and from and after such notice, Schedule 4.6 shall be deemed modified thereby).

(b) No assets of Borrower constitute “assets” (within the meaning of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, including, but not limited to, 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101 or any successor regulation thereto) of an “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA or a “plan” within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code. In addition to the

prohibitions set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and not in limitation thereof, Borrower covenants and agrees that Borrower shall not use any “assets” (within the meaning of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, including but not limited to 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3101) of an “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA or a “plan” within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code to repay or secure the Note, the Loan, or the Obligations.

SECTION 4.7. Environmental. The Borrower conducts reviews of the effect of Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries when necessary in the course of which it identifies and evaluates associated liabilities and costs (including, without limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up or closure of properties presently owned, any capital or operating expenditures required to achieve or maintain compliance with environmental protection standards imposed by law or as a condition of any license, permit or contract, any related constraints on operating activities, and any actual or potential liabilities to third parties, including, without limitation, employees, and any related costs and expenses). On the basis of this review, the Borrower has reasonably concluded that such associated liabilities and costs, including, without limitation, the costs of compliance with Environmental Laws, are unlikely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 4.8. Taxes. The Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries have filed all United States Federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns which are required to be filed by them and have paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Borrower, or any Consolidated Subsidiary, except (i) such taxes, if any, as are reserved against in accordance with GAAP, (ii) such taxes as are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings or (iii) such tax returns or such taxes, the failure to file when due or to make payment when due and payable will not have, in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries in respect of taxes or other governmental charges are, in the opinion of the Borrower, adequate.

SECTION 4.9. Full Disclosure. All information heretofore furnished by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and all the Banks for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby is true and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such information is stated or certified; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Borrower represents and warrants only that such information represents the Borrower’s expectations regarding future performance, based upon historical information and reasonable assumptions, it being understood, however, that actual results may differ from the projected results described in the financial projections.

SECTION 4.12. Governmental Approvals. No order, consent, approval, license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, is required to authorize, or is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of any Loan Document or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated thereby other than those that have already been duly made or obtained and remain in full force and effect or those which, if not made or obtained, would not have a Material Adverse Effect;

SECTION 4.13. Investment Company Act. Neither the Borrower nor any Consolidated Subsidiary is (x) an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (y) subject to any other federal or state law or regulation which purports to restrict or regulate its ability to borrow money.

SECTION 4.18. No Default.

SECTION 4.19. Licenses, etc. The Borrower has obtained and does hold in full force and effect, all franchises, licenses, permits, certificates, authorizations, qualifications, accreditation, easements, rights of way and other consents and approvals which are necessary for the operation of its businesses as presently conducted, the absence of which is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 4.20. Compliance With Law. To the Borrower’s knowledge, the Borrower and each of its assets are in compliance in all material respects with all laws, rules, regulations, orders, judgments, writs and decrees, the failure to comply with which is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.1, 7.5 and 7.6, each Agent shall administer the Loans in the same manner as each administers its own loans.

SECTION 7.4. Consultation with Experts. As between Administrative Agent on the one hand and the Banks on the other hand, the Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and

other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

SECTION 7.5. Liability of Agents. As between each Agent on the one hand and the Banks on the other hand, none of the Agents nor any of their affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in connection herewith (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Banks or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. As between each Agent on the one hand and the Banks on the other hand, none of the Agents nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this Agreement or any Borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of the Borrower; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article III, except receipt of items required to be delivered to such Agent, or (iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection herewith.

SECTION 7.6. Indemnification. Each Bank shall, ratably in accordance with its Commitment, indemnify the Agents and the named “Managing Agents” and their affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including, without limitation, counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) that such indemnitee may suffer or incur in connection with its duties as Agent or “Managing Agent” under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitee hereunder. In the event that any Agent shall, subsequent to its receipt of indemnification payment(s) from Banks in accordance with this section, recoup any amount from the Borrower, or any other party liable therefor in connection with such indemnification, such Agent shall reimburse the Banks which previously made the payment(s) pro rata, based upon the actual amounts which were theretofore paid by each Bank. Each Agent shall reimburse such Banks so entitled to reimbursement within two (2) Business Days of its receipt of such funds from the Borrower or such other party liable therefor.

SECTION 7.7. Credit Decision. Each Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, Syndication Agent or any other Bank, 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 any action under this Agreement.

SECTION 7.8. Successor Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Banks, the Borrower and each other, and the

Administrative Agent shall resign in the event its Commitment (without giving effect to any Participants) is reduced to less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) unless as a result of a cancellation or reduction in the aggregate Commitments. Upon any such resignation, the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which successor Administrative Agent shall, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, be subject to Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks and approved by the Borrower, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be the Administrative Agent, who shall act until the Required Banks shall appoint an Administrative Agent. Any appointment of a successor Administrative Agent by Required Banks or the retiring Administrative Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent. For gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by all the Banks (excluding for such determination Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Bank), Administrative Agent may be removed at any time by giving at least thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent and Borrower. Such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the acceptance of appointment by a successor Administrative Agent, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.8.

SECTION 7.9. Consents and Approvals. All communications from Administrative Agent to the Banks requesting the Banks’ determination, consent, approval or disapproval (i) shall be given in the form of a written notice to each Bank, (ii) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or item as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise each Bank where such matter or item may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (iii) shall include, if reasonably requested by a Bank and to the extent not previously provided to such Bank, written materials and a summary of all oral information provided to Administrative Agent by Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved, and (iv) shall include Administrative Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof ). Each Bank shall reply promptly, but in any event within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the request therefor from Administrative Agent (the “Bank Reply Period”). With respect to decisions requiring the approval of the Required Banks, or all the Banks, Administrative Agent shall submit its recommendation or determination for approval of or consent to such recommendation or determination to all Banks and upon receiving the required approval or consent shall follow the course of action or determination of the Required Banks or all the Banks, as the case may be.

ARTICLE VIII

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

SECTION 8.1. Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Euro-Currency Borrowing the Administrative Agent determines in good faith that deposits in Dollars are not being offered in the relevant market for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Banks, whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligations of the Banks to make Euro-Currency Loans in Dollars shall be suspended. In such event unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent on or before the second (2nd) Euro-Currency Business Day before, but excluding, the date of any Euro-Currency Borrowing for which a Notice of Borrowing has previously been given that it elects not to borrow on such date, such Borrowing shall instead be made as a Base Rate Borrowing.

SECTION 8.2. Illegality. If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Euro-Currency Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) made after the Closing Date of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful for any Bank (or its Euro-Currency Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund its Euro-Currency Loans, whereupon until such Bank notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Bank in the case of such event to make Euro-Currency Loans shall be suspended. With respect to Euro-Currency Loans, before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section, such Bank shall designate a different Euro-Currency Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, be otherwise commercially disadvantageous to such Bank.

If at any time, it shall be unlawful for any Bank to make, maintain or fund any of its Euro-Currency Loans, the Borrower shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to either (x) cause a bank, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, to offer to purchase the Commitments of such Bank for an amount equal to such Bank’s outstanding Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest and fees thereon and all other amounts due to such Bank are concurrently therewith paid in full to such Bank, and to become a Bank hereunder, or obtain the agreement of one or more existing Banks to offer to purchase the Commitments of such Bank for such amount, which offer such Bank is hereby required to accept, or (y) to repay in full all Loans then outstanding of such Bank, together with interest due thereon and any and all fees and other amounts due hereunder, upon which event, such Bank’s Commitments shall be deemed to be canceled.

SECTION 8.3. Increased Cost and Reduced Return.

(a) If, on or after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) made after the Closing Date of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (but excluding with respect to any Euro-Currency Loan any such requirement reflected in an applicable Euro-Currency Reserve Percentage)), special deposit, insurance assessment or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or shall impose on any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or on the interbank market any other condition materially more burdensome in nature, extent or consequence than those in existence as of the Loan Effective Date affecting such Bank’s Euro-Currency Loans or its obligation to make Euro-Currency Loans, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Euro-Currency Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement or under its Note with respect to such Euro-Currency Loans, by an amount reasonable determined by such Bank to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts (based upon a reasonable allocation thereof by such Bank to the Euro-Currency Loans made by such Bank hereunder) as will compensate such Bank for such increased cost or reduction to the extent such Bank generally imposes such additional amounts on other borrowers of such Bank in similar circumstances.

(b) If any Bank shall have reasonably determined that, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any such law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) made after the Closing Date of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Bank (or its Parent) as a consequence of such Bank’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Bank to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank (or its Parent) for such reduction to the extent such Bank generally imposes such additional amounts on other borrowers of such Bank in similar circumstances.

(c) Each Bank will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, be otherwise

disadvantageous to such Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Bank shall fail to notify Borrower of any such event within ninety (90) days following the end of the month during which such event occurred, then Borrower’s liability for any amounts described in this Section incurred by such Bank as a result of such event shall be limited to those attributable to the period occurring subsequent to the ninetieth (90th) day prior to, but excluding, the date upon which such Bank actually notified Borrower of the occurrence of such event. A certificate of any Bank claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation of the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error. In determining such amount, such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(d) If at any time, any Bank has demanded compensation pursuant to this Section 8.3, the Borrower shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent to either (x) cause a Qualified Institution, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, to offer to purchase the Commitments of such Bank for an amount equal to such Bank’s outstanding Loans plus accrued interest, fees and other amounts due to such Bank, and to become a Bank hereunder, or to obtain the agreement of one or more existing Banks to offer to purchase the Commitments of such Bank for such amount, which offer such Bank is hereby required to accept, or (y) to repay in full all Loans then outstanding of such Bank, together with interest and all other amounts due thereon, upon which event, such Bank’s Commitment shall be deemed to be canceled.

SECTION 8.4. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Bank and the Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Bank, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise or similar taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of such Bank’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof or by any other jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) as a result of a present or former connection between such Bank or Administrative Agent and such other jurisdiction or by the United States, except to the extent that such connection would not have arisen but for entering into the transactions contemplated hereby (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Non-Excluded Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Non-Excluded Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including, without limitation, deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 8.4) such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) the Borrower shall furnish to the

Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.1, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) In the event that Non-Excluded Taxes not imposed on the Closing Date are imposed, or Non-Excluded Taxes imposed on the Closing Date increase, the applicable Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such event in writing within a reasonable period following receipt of knowledge thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Bank shall fail to notify Borrower of any such event within ninety (90) days following the end of the month during which such event occurred, then Borrower’s liability for such additional Non-Excluded Taxes incurred by such Bank as a result of such event (including payment of a make whole amount under Section 8.4(a)(i)) shall be limited to those attributable to the period occurring subsequent to the ninetieth (90th) day prior to, but excluding, the date upon which such Bank actually notified Borrower of the occurrence of such event.

(d) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Bank and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 8.4) paid by such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and, so long as such Bank or Administrative Agent has promptly paid any such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, any liability for penalties and interest arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 15 days from the date such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes demand therefor.

(e) Each Bank or Administrative Agent that is a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Bank and Administrative Agent listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Bank or the Administrative Agent in the case of each other Bank or Administrative Agent, shall provide the Borrower with two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service and shall provide Borrower with two further copies of any such form on or before the date any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered to Borrower. Each Bank and Administrative Agent that is not a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Bank and Administrative Agent listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Bank or the Administrative Agent in the case of each other Bank or Administrative Agent, shall provide the Borrower with two duly completed copies of an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, as applicable to such Bank or Administrative Agent, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, and shall provide Borrower with two further copies of any such form on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to Borrower. A Bank that

provides copies of the Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN and that is legally entitled to claim the portfolio interest exemption pursuant to Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), shall further provide Borrower with, together with such Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, a written confirmation of its entitlement to such exemption. To the extent that it is legally entitled to do so, a Bank shall properly claim that such Bank is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces the rate of, or eliminates, withholding tax on payments of interest hereunder. A Bank that is not a United States person and that grants a participating interest in a Loan or Commitment to any other person shall provide, in addition to its own forms specified above, Borrower with two duly completed copies of the Internal Revenue Service form applicable to such other person, each under the cover of an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and a withholding statement prepared in the manner prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, or such other forms and/or certificates that it is legally entitled to provide evidencing such participant’s entitlement to any exemption from, or reduction in the rate of U.S. withholding tax, and shall provide Borrower with two further copies of any such forms and statements on or before the date any such forms or statements expire or become obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or statement previously delivered to Borrower. If a Bank fails to timely and properly provide or update such forms or statements or if the form or statement provided by a Bank at the time such Bank first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States withholding tax rate in excess of zero, then backup withholding or withholding tax resulting from the foregoing shall be considered excluded from “Non-Excluded Taxes” as defined in Section 8.4(a).

(f) Upon reasonable demand by, and at the expense of, Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Bank, the Administrative Agent or Bank, as the case may be, shall deliver to the Borrower, or to such government or taxing authority as the Borrower may reasonably direct, any form or document that may be required or reasonably requested in writing in order to allow the Borrower to make a payment to or for the account of such Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Non-Excluded Taxes or with such deduction or withholding at a reduced rate (so long as the completion, execution or submission of such form or document would not materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of the party in receipt of such demand), with any such form or document to be accurate and completed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower making such demand and to be executed and to be delivered with any reasonably required certification.

(g) For any period with respect to which a Bank has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form pursuant to (and to the extent required by) Section 8.4(e) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Bank shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 8.4(d) with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States; provided, however, that should a Bank, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, become subject to Non-Excluded Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Bank shall reasonably request to assist such Bank to recover such Taxes so long as Borrower shall incur no cost or liability as a result thereof.

(h) If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Bank pursuant to this Section 8.4, then such Bank will change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue if such change, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

(i) If at any time, any Bank has demanded compensation pursuant to Section 8.3 or 8.4 or the obligation of such Bank of make Euro-Currency Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.2, in any such case, the Borrower shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent to either (x) cause a Qualified Institution, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, to offer to purchase the Commitments of such Bank for an amount equal to such Bank’s outstanding Loans plus accrued interest, fees and other amounts due to such Bank, and to become a Bank hereunder, or to obtain the agreement of one or more existing Banks to offer to purchase the Commitments of such Bank for such amount, which offer such Bank is hereby required to accept, or (y) to repay in full all Loans then outstanding of such Bank, together with interest and all other amounts due thereon.

SECTION 8.5. Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Euro-Currency Loans. If (i) the obligation of any Bank to make Euro-Currency Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.2 or (ii) any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 8.3 or 8.4 with respect to its Euro-Currency Loans and the Borrower shall, by at least five Business Days’ prior notice to such Bank through the Administrative Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section shall apply to such Bank, then, unless and until such Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist:

(a) Borrower shall be deemed to have delivered a Notice of Interest Rate Election with respect to such affected Euro-Currency Loans and thereafter all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Bank to the Borrower as Euro-Currency Loans shall be made instead as Base Rate Loans; and

(b) after each of its Euro-Currency Loans has been repaid, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to repay such Euro-Currency Loans shall be applied to repay its Base Rate Loans instead; and

(c) Borrower will not be required to make any payment which would otherwise be required by Section 2.12 with respect to such Euro-Currency Loans converted to Base Rate Loans pursuant to clause (a) above.

The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

SECTION 9.3. Expenses; Indemnification.

(a) The Borrower shall pay within thirty (30) days after written notice from the Administrative Agent, (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of special counsel ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP ), in connection with any waiver or consent hereunder or any amendment hereof or any Default or alleged Default hereunder, (ii) all reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of special counsel in connection with the syndication of the Loans, and (iii) if an Event of Default occurs, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and each Bank, including, without limitation, reasonable and invoiced fees and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent and each of the Banks, in connection with the enforcement of the Loan Documents and the instruments referred to therein and such Event of Default and collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom (provided, however, that the attorneys’ fees and disbursements for which Borrower is obligated under this subsection (a)(iii) shall be limited to the reasonable and invoiced non-duplicative fees and disbursements of (A) counsel for Administrative Agent and (B) counsel for all of the Banks as a group; and provided, further, that all other costs and expenses for which Borrower is obligated under this subsection (a)(iii) shall be limited to the reasonable and invoiced non-duplicative costs and expenses of Administrative Agent). For purposes of this subsection 9.3(a)(iii), (1) counsel for Administrative Agent shall mean a single outside law firm representing Administrative Agent and (2) counsel for all of the Banks as a group shall mean a single outside law firm representing such Banks as a group (which law firm may or may not be the same law firm representing the Administrative Agent).

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Bank, their respective affiliates and the respective directors, officers, agents and employees of the foregoing (each an “Indemnitee”) and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, which may be incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding that may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Obligations) be asserted against any Indemnitee, as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to or by reason of, (i) any of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or the execution, delivery or performance of any Loan Document, (ii) any violation by the Borrower or the Environmental Affiliates of any applicable Environmental Law, (iii) any Environmental Claim arising out of the management, use, control, ownership or operation of property or assets by the Borrower or any of the Environmental Affiliates, including, without limitation, all on-site and off-site activities of Borrower or any Environmental Affiliate involving Materials of Environmental Concern, (iv) the breach of any environmental representation or warranty set forth herein, but excluding those liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses (a) for which such Indemnitee has been compensated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or that are excluded under Section 8.3, (b) incurred solely by reason of the gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or fraud of such Indemnitee as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, (c) arising from any violation of Environmental Law relating to a Property, which violation is caused by the act or omission of such Indemnitee after such Indemnitee takes possession of such Property or (d) owing by such Indemnitee to any third party based upon contractual obligations of such Indemnitee owing to such third party which are not expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. In addition, the indemnification set forth in this Section 9.3(b) in favor of any director, officer, agent or employee of Administrative Agent or any Bank shall be solely in their respective capacities as such director, officer, agent or employee. The Borrower’s obligations under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations. Without limitation of the other provisions of this Section 9.3, Borrower shall indemnify and hold each of the Administrative Agent and the Banks free and harmless from and against all loss, costs (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses), expenses, taxes, and damages (including consequential damages) that the Administrative Agent and the Banks may suffer or incur by reason of the investigation, defense and settlement of claims and in obtaining any prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA or the Code necessary in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable judgment by reason of the inaccuracy of the representations and warranties, or a breach of the provisions, set forth in Section 4.6(b).

SECTION 9.4. Sharing of Set-Offs. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Bank is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but subject to the prior consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Bank (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies of such Bank wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and on account of the Obligations of the Borrower then due and payable to such Bank under this

Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all interests in Obligations purchased by such Bank. Each Bank agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to any Loan made by it, which is greater than the proportion received by any other Bank, the Bank receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase such participations in the Loans made by the other Banks, and such other adjustments shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments of principal and interest with respect to the Loans made by the Banks shall be shared by the Banks pro rata; provided that nothing in this Section shall impair the right of any Bank to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have to any deposits not received in connection with the Loans and to apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of the Borrower other than its indebtedness under the Loans. The Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any holder of a participation in a Commitment or a Loan, whether or not acquired pursuant to the foregoing arrangements, may exercise rights of set-off or counterclaim and other rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Bank may, by separate agreement with the Borrower, waive its right to set off contained herein or granted by law and any such written waiver shall be effective against such Bank under this Section 9.4.

SECTION 9.5. Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement or the Notes or other Loan Documents may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Borrower and the Required Banks (and, if the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent in its capacity as Administrative Agent, are affected thereby, by the Administrative Agent); provided that (A) no amendment or waiver with respect to this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document shall, unless signed by each Bank directly affected thereby, (i) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder, (ii) postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder or for any reduction or termination of any Commitment, (iii) change the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans, or the number of Banks, which shall be required for the Banks or any of them to take any action under this Section or any other provision of this Agreement, or (iv) modify the provisions of this Section 9.5, and (B) no amendment or waiver with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall increase, extend or decrease the Commitment of any Bank (except for a ratable decrease in the Commitments of all Banks) or subject any Bank to any additional obligation unless signed by such Bank.

SECTION 9.6. Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of all Banks and the Administrative Agent and (ii) a Bank may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its interest under this Agreement except as permitted in subsection (b) and (c) of this Section 9.6.

(b) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, any Bank may at any time, grant to a then existing Bank or any Affiliate thereof, one or more banks, finance companies,

insurance companies or other financial institutions or trusts (a “Participant”) participating interests in its Commitment or any or all of its Loans. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any Bank may at any time grant to any Person in any amount (also a “Participant”), participating interests in its Commitment or any or all of its Loans. Any participation made during the continuation of an Event of Default shall not be affected by the subsequent cure of such Event of Default. In the event of any such grant by a Bank of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, such Bank shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Bank may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that such participation agreement may provide that such Bank will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement described in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of Section 9.5(A) without the consent of the Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall, to the extent provided in its participation agreement, be entitled to the benefits of Article VIII with respect to its participating interest.

(c) Any Bank may at any time assign to a Qualified Institution (in each case, an “Assignee”) (i) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, in minimum amounts of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) and integral multiple of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) thereafter (or any lesser amount in the case of assignments to an existing Bank or any Affiliate thereof or in the case of an assignment of a Bank’s entire Commitment) and (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in any amount, all or a proportionate part of all, of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents, and, in either case, such Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations, pursuant to a Transfer Supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto executed by such Assignee and such transferor Bank; provided, that if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such assignment shall be subject to the Administrative Agent’s, and the Borrower’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and provided further that if an Assignee is an affiliate of such transferor Bank or was a Bank or Affiliate thereof immediately prior to such assignment, no such consent shall be required from the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. Upon execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Bank of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Bank and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be a Bank party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Bank with a Commitment as set forth in such instrument of assumption, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required and the transferor Bank shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection (c), the transferor Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if requested or required, a new Note is issued to the Assignee upon the return to the Borrower of the old Note, if any, marked “cancelled”. In connection with any such assignment (other than an assignment by a Bank to an affiliate), the transferor Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $3,500. If the Assignee is not organized under the laws of the United States of America or a

state thereof, it shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent certification as to exemption from deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes in accordance with Section 8.4. Any assignment made during the continuation of an Event of Default shall not be invalidated by any subsequent cure of such Event of Default.

(d) No Assignee, Participant or other transferee of any Bank’s rights shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 8.3 or 8.4 than such Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred, unless such transfer is made (i) with the Borrower’s prior written consent or (ii) by reason of the provisions of Section 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4 requiring such Bank to designate a different Applicable Lending Office under certain circumstances or at a time when the circumstances giving rise to such greater payment did not exist.

(e) No Assignee of any rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be permitted to further assign less than all of such rights and obligations. No Participant in any rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be permitted to sell subparticipations of such rights and obligations.

(f) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no Bank shall be permitted to enter into an assignment of, or sell a participation interest in, its rights and obligations hereunder which would result in such Bank holding a Commitment without participants of less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) unless as a result of a cancellation or reduction of the aggregate Commitments; provided, however, that no Bank shall be prohibited from assigning its entire Commitment so long as such assignment is otherwise permitted under this Section 9.6.

(g) The Administrative Agent shall maintain on behalf of Borrower a register of principal and interest with respect to each Loan and Commitment.

SECTION 9.7. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Judgment Currency. (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE PRINCIPLES THEREOF RELATING TO CONFLICTS OF LAW).

(b) Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document and any action for enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof may be brought in the courts of the State of New York or of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, in each case, which are located in New York County, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Borrower hereby accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and appellate courts from any thereof. The Borrower irrevocably consents, for itself, to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the hand delivery, or mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Borrower at its address set forth below its signature hereto. The Borrower hereby, for itself, 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 or any other Loan Document brought in the courts referred to 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. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against the Borrower in any other jurisdiction.

(c) If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so under applicable law, that the rate of exchange used shall be the spot rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the first currency could be purchased in New York City with such other currency by the person obtaining such judgment on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

(d) The parties agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so under applicable law, that the obligations of the Borrower to make payments in any currency of the principal of and interest on the Loans of the Borrower and any other amounts due from the Borrower hereunder to the Administrative Agent as provided herein (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered in accordance with Section 9.8(c)), in any currency other than the relevant currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt by the Administrative Agent at its relevant office on behalf of the Banks of the full amount of the relevant currency expressed to be payable in respect of the principal of and interest on the Loans and all other amounts due hereunder (it being assumed for purposes of this clause (i) that the Administrative Agent will convert any amount tendered or recovered into the relevant currency on the date of such tender or recovery), (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering in the relevant currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the relevant currency so expressed to be payable and (iii) shall not be affected by an unrelated judgment being obtained for any other sum due under this Agreement.

SECTION 9.8. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of counterparts hereof signed by each of the parties hereto (or, in the case of any party as to which an executed counterpart shall not have been received, receipt by the Administrative Agent in form satisfactory to it of telegraphic, telex or other written confirmation from such party of execution of a counterpart hereof by such party).

SECTION 9.9. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE BANKS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL

PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

SECTION 9.10. Survival. All indemnities set forth herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the making and repayment of the Loans hereunder.

SECTION 9.11. Domicile of Loans. Subject to the provisions of Article VIII, each Bank may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for the account of any domestic or foreign branch office, subsidiary or affiliate of such Bank.

SECTION 9.12. Limitation of Liability. No claim may be made by the Borrower or any other Person acting by or through Borrower against the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent or any Bank or the affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agent of any of them for any punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or by the other Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and the Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to ▇▇▇ upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

SECTION 9.13. Recourse Obligation. This Agreement and the Obligations hereunder are fully recourse to the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant, or agreement contained in this Agreement shall be had against any officer, director, shareholder or employee of the Borrower, except in the event of fraud or misappropriation of funds on the part of such officer, director, shareholder or employee.

SECTION 9.14. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Joint Bookrunners and the Banks understands that some of the information furnished to it pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be received by it prior to the time that such information shall have been made public, and each of the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Joint Bookrunners and the Banks hereby agrees that it will keep all Information (as defined below) received by it confidential except that the Administrative Agent, Syndication Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Joint Bookrunners and each Bank shall be permitted to disclose Information (i) only to such of its officers, directors, employees, agents, auditors and buyers as need to know such information in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document and who will be advised of the confidential nature of such Information; (ii) to any other party to this Agreement; (iii) to a proposed Assignee or Participant in accordance with Section 9.6 hereof, provided such Person agrees in writing to keep such Information confidential on terms substantially similar to this Section 9.14; (iv) to the extent required by applicable law and regulations or by any subpoena or other legal process; (v) to the extent requested by any bank regulatory authority or other regulatory authority or self-regulatory organization; (vi) to the extent such information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement; (vii) to the extent the Borrower shall have consented to such disclosure or (viii) in connection with any legal or other enforcement proceeding in connection with any Loan

Document or any of the transaction contemplated thereby. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, auditors, lawyers and Affiliates relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including Investment Affiliates) or any of their respective businesses other than information that is generally available to the public. In the event of any required disclosure of Information, any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as provided in this Section 9.14 agrees to use reasonable efforts to inform the Borrower as promptly as practicable of the circumstances and the Information required to be disclosed to the extent not prohibited by applicable law.

SECTION 9.15. USA Patriot Act. Each Bank hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Bank to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.
