is given before or after such change in GAAP or in the application thereof, then such provision shall be interpreted on the basis of GAAP as in effect and applied immediately before such change shall have become effective until such notice shall have been withdrawn or such provision amended in accordance herewith.

1.5                               TIMES OF DAY.  Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to Eastern time (daylight or standard, as applicable).

2.                                      COMMITMENTS OF LENDERS.

2.1                               COMMITMENTS TO MAKE LOANS.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Credit Agreement, each Lender severally agrees to make loans (“Revolving Credit Loans”) to the Borrower from time to time from the Effective Date through the Availability Termination Date as requested by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of Section 2.2 hereof; provided, that (a) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans (after giving effect to any amount requested) plus all outstanding Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the lesser of (A) the Aggregate Commitments and (B) the Borrowing Base at such time, at all times when the Consolidated EBIT to Consolidated Cash Interest Expense Ratio is less than 1.50:1.00, reduced by the Termination Value of the Obligations under Specified Hedging Agreements; and (b) the sum of (i) the principal amount of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans (after giving effect to any amount requested) from any Lender to the Borrower plus (ii) the product of (x) such Lender’s Commitment Percentage multiplied by (y) the aggregate outstanding Swing Line Loans, shall not at any time exceed such Lender’s Commitment as set forth on Schedule 1 hereto. Each Revolving Credit Loan by a Lender shall be in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans requested on such occasion. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Credit Loans hereunder until the Availability Termination Date.  Revolving Credit Loans may be Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans, as further provided herein; provided, however, any Revolving Credit Loans made on the Effective Date or any of the three (3) Business Days following the Effective Date shall be made as Base Rate Loans unless the Borrower delivers a Funding Indemnity Letter not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the date of funding of such Revolving Credit Loan.

2.2                               REQUESTS FOR REVOLVING CREDIT LOANS.

(a)                                 Notice of Borrowing.  Each Borrowing, each conversion of Loans made from one Type to the other, and each continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent in the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto (a “Loan Notice”), which may be given by telephone.  Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans or of any conversion of LIBOR Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans and (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans; provided, however, that if the Borrower wishes to request LIBOR Rate Loans having an interest Period other than one (1), two (2), three (3) or six (6) months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest Period”, the applicable notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. four (4) Business Days prior to the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, whereupon the Administrative

35

Agent shall give prompt notice to the Lenders of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is acceptable to all of them.  Not later than 11:00 a.m., three (3) Business Days before the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the Lenders.  Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.2(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of the Loan Notice in the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto, appropriately completed and signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower.  Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.  Each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.  Each Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (A) whether the Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Loans, as the case may be, (B) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (C) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (D) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted and (E) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto.  If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans.  Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable LIBOR Rate Loans.  If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans in any such Loan Notice, but fails to specify any Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Swing Line Loan may not be converted to a LIBOR Rate Loan.

(b)                                 Advances.  Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Commitment Percentage of the applicable Loans, and if no timely notice of conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in Section 2.2(a).  In the case of a Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Loans available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice.  Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 12 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Borrowing, Section 11), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case, in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower.

(c)                                  LIBOR Rate Loans.  Except as otherwise provided herein, a LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Rate Loan.  During the existence of a Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as LIBOR Rate Loans without the consent of the Majority Lenders, and the Majority Lenders may demand that any or all of the outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans may be converted immediately to Base Rate Loans.

36

(d)                                 Notice of Interest Rates.             The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for LIBOR Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate.  At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in Bank of America’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.

2.3                               THE NOTES.  The Revolving Credit Loans of each Lender shall be evidenced, at the request of such Lender, by a separate Revolving Credit Note, in a maximum principal amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment to make Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes each Lender to record in its internal records the amount of each Revolving Credit Loan and of each payment of principal on such Lender’s Revolving Credit Note, which recordation shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as to the outstanding principal balance of such Revolving Credit Note, and shall be considered correct and binding on Borrower; provided, however, that the failure to make such recordation with respect to any Revolving Credit Loan or payment shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any Revolving Credit Note when due.

2.4                               TERMINATION OR REDUCTION OF COMMITMENTS.  The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and (iii) each permanent reduction permitted pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be accompanied by a payment of principal to the extent the aggregate outstanding Loans exceed the reduced amount of the Aggregate Commitment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments together with all accrued and unpaid interest on such principal amount together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 5.8. Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each Lender according to its Commitment Percentage. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination or reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination or reduction.

2.5                               REPAYMENT OF REVOLVING CREDIT LOANS AND SWING LINE LOANS.

(a)                                 The unpaid principal balance of, and all accrued interest and other amounts owing on, or with respect to, the Revolving Credit Loans shall be payable in full on the earlier to occur of (x) the Availability Termination Date and (y) the date on which the Revolving Credit Loans and the other Obligations have been declared due and payable in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.1 hereof.

(b)                                 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Borrower shall repay the outstanding principal amount of each Swing Line Loan on the earliest to occur of (i) the Availability Termination Date, (ii) the date ten (10) Business Days after such Loan is made, or

37

(iii) upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Default or Event of Default, following demand therefor by the Swing Line Lender.

(c)                                  If at any time (a) the sum of the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans plus the outstanding amount of the Swing Line Loans exceeds the lesser of (i) the Aggregate Commitments at such time and (ii) the Borrowing Base at such time, then the Borrower shall immediately pay the amount of such excess to the Administrative Agent for the respective accounts of the Lenders for application first, to the Swing Line Loans and second, to the Revolving Credit Loans.

2.6                               FUNDING BY LENDERS; PRESUMPTION BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.2 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.2), and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to, but excluding, the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (a) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (b) in the case the payment is made by the Borrower after such Lender fails to make such payment, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Lender for such period.  If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.  Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

2.7                               FAILURE TO SATISFY CONDITIONS PRECEDENT.  If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the provisions of this Credit Agreement, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Loan set forth in Sections 11 and 12 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

2.8                               OBLIGATIONS OF LENDERS SEVERAL.  The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to purchase participations in Swing Line Loans and to make payments

38

pursuant to this Credit Agreement are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under this Credit Agreement on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan to purchase its participation or to make its payment under this Credit Agreement.

2.9                               REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY.  The credit facility evidenced by this Credit Agreement is a revolving credit facility. Accordingly, the Borrower will, subject to compliance with the terms of this Credit Agreement, have the right during the Revolving Credit Period to reborrow any amounts repaid to the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement.

2.10                        SWING LINE LOANS.

(a)                                 The Swing Line.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Credit Agreement, the Swing Line Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.10, may in its sole discretion, make Swing Line Loans to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day from the Effective Date through, but not including, the Availability Termination Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Commitment Percentage of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided, however, that (i) after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (A) the sum of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans shall not exceed the lesser of (x) the Aggregate Commitments and (y) the Borrowing Base at such time, at all times when the Consolidated EBIT to Consolidated Cash Interest Expense Ratio is less than 1.50:1.00, reduced by the Termination Value of the Obligations under the Specified Hedging Agreement, and (B) the Loans of any Lender at such time shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan, and (iii) the Swing Line Lender shall not be under any obligation to make any Swing Line Loan if it shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that it has, or by such Borrowing may have, Fronting Exposure.  Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section, prepay under Sections 2.5 and 4.3, and reborrow under this Section 2.10.  Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan.  Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

(b)                                 Borrowing Procedures.  Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone (the “Swing Line Loan Notice”).  Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000, and (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day).  Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately

39

completed and signed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower.  Promptly upon receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof.  Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.10(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 12 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower.

(c)                                  Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.

(i)                                     The Swing Line Lender, at any time in its sole discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding.  Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.2, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Facility and the conditions set forth in Section 12.  The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent.  Each Lender shall make an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of the amount specified in such Loan Notice applicable to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.10(c)(ii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount.  The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

(ii)                                  If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.10(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its risk participation to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(iii)                               If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10(c) by the time specified in Section 2.10(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for a period from the

40

date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with the banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan included in the relevant Revolving Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the case may be.  A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv)                              Each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.10(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 12 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Loan Notice).  No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(d)                                       Repayment of Participations.

(i)                                     At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Commitment Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

(ii)                                  If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 16.1.2 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Commitment Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate.  The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender.  The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Credit Agreement.

(e)                                        Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender.  The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans.  Until each Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section to refinance such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Commitment Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

41

(f)                                   Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender.  The Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

2.10.1              SWING LINE NOTE.  The Swing Line Loans and the obligations of the Borrower to repay such Swing Line Loans shall, if requested by the Swing Line Lender, be evidenced by a Swing Line Note executed by Borrower payable to the order of the Swing Line Lender, in the maximum principal amount of the Swing Line Loans. The Swing Line Note shall be dated the Effective Date.

2.11                        INCREMENTAL COMMITMENT INCREASE.

(a)                                 Request for Increase.                             Provided there exists no Default, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), the Borrower may from time to time, request an increase in the Revolving Credit Facility by an amount for all such requests not exceeding $100,000,000; provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000, and (ii) the Borrower may make a maximum of seven (7) such requests.  At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders)

(b)                                 Lender Elections to Increase.  Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees in its sole discretion to increase its Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Commitment Percentage of such requested increase.  Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Commitment.

(c)                                  Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders.  To achieve the full amount of a requested increase, and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender (which approvals shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement (“New Lenders”) in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.

(d)                                 Effective Date and Allocations.                      If the Revolving Credit Facility is increased in accordance with this Section 2.11, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Revolving Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders and the New Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Revolving Increase Effective Date.

(e)                                  Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase.  As a condition precedent to such increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Credit Party dated as of the Revolving Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by an Authorized Officer of such Credit Party (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Credit Party approving or consenting to such increase, (ii) in the

42

case of the Borrower, certifying that before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in Article 7 and the other Loan Documents are true and correct, on and as of the Revolving Increase Effective Date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.11, the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 7.10 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 8.1 and (B) no Default exists, and (iii) certifying that the before and after giving effect to such Increase, the Borrower shall be in compliance with Section 6.2.  The Borrower shall prepay any Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on the Revolving Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 5.8) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans ratable with any revised Commitment Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the Commitments under this Section.

(f)                                   Conflicting Provisions.  This Section shall supersede any provision in Section 4.5 or Section 16.12 to the contrary.

(g)                                  To the extent that any increase in Commitments is effected pursuant to this Section 2.11, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall amend Schedule 1 hereto to reflect such increase, which amendment shall not require the additional consent of any Lender or other Person.

3.                                      INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

4.                                      PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL LOANS.

4.1                               INTEREST ON LOANS.

(a)                                 Subject to the provisions of this Credit Agreement, including Sections 2.2 and 5.9, at the election of the Borrower (other than with respect to Swing Line Loans as provided in the immediately following clause (b) below), the aggregate principal balance of (a) the Revolving Credit Loans or any portion thereof shall bear interest at (i) the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin and/or (ii) the LIBOR Rate plus the Applicable Margin and (b) Swing Line Loans shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. Each Loan or portion thereof bearing interest based on the Base Rate shall be a “Base Rate Loan,” each Loan or portion thereof bearing interest based on the LIBOR Rate shall be a “LIBOR Rate Loan.” Any Revolving Credit Loan or any portion thereof as to which the Borrower have not duly specified an interest rate as provided herein shall be deemed a Base Rate Loan.

(b)                                 The Borrower promises to pay interest on all Loans, or any portion thereof, outstanding in arrears on each applicable Payment Date.

(c)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”).  If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower.  In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is

43

not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of this Agreement.

4.2                               INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

4.3                               OPTIONAL PREPAYMENT OF LOANS.

(a)                                 The Borrower shall have the right at any time to prepay one or more of the Revolving Credit Loans on or before the Availability Termination Date, as a whole, or in part, upon delivery of written notice to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans and (ii) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans, without premium or penalty; provided that (a) each partial prepayment shall be in the principal amount of $1,000,000 or multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof.  Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if LIBOR Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s ratable portion of such prepayment (based on such Lender’s Commitment Percentage).  If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.  Any prepayment of principal shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 5.8.

(b)                                 The Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (B) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 or a while multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the entire principal thereof then outstanding).  Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment.  If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.  Any prepayment of principal shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 5.8.

4.4                               PAYMENTS BY BORROWER; PRESUMPTIONS BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, and without releasing the Borrower from its obligation to do so, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the

44

Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 4.4 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

4.5                               SHARING OF PAYMENTS BY LENDERS.  If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of the Obligations due and payable to such Lender hereunder and under the Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders thereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time or (b) Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of the Lenders at such time), then, in each case under clauses (a) and (b) above, the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (A) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (B) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of Obligations then due and payable to the Lenders or owing (but not due and payable) to the Lenders, as the case may be; provided that:

(i)                                     if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii)                                  the provisions of this Section 4.5 shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Credit Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 4.5 shall apply).

Each Credit Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Credit Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Credit Party in the amount of such participation.

4.6                               FUNDING SOURCE.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation

45

by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

4.7                               DEFAULTING LENDERS.

(a)                                 Adjustments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Credit Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no  longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i)                                                                               Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Credit Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Majority Lenders” and Section 16.12.

(ii)                                                                            Defaulting Lender Waterfall.  Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Article 13 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder, second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Credit Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fourth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Credit Agreement; fifth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Credit Agreement; sixth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Credit Agreement; and seventh, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise may be required under the Loan Documents in connection with any Lien conferred thereunder or directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (1) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (2) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 12 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in the Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder and without giving effect to Section 4.7(a)(v).  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

46

(iii)                                                                         Certain Fees.  No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee payable under Section 5.1 or the Fee Letter for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender). With respect to any such fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender, the Borrower shall (A) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Swing Line Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (B) pay to the Swing Line Lender the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (C) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv)                                                                        Reallocation of Applicable Revolving Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure.  All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (A) the conditions set forth in Section 12 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (B) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Loans of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment.  No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v)                                                                           Repayment of Swing Line Loans.  If the reallocation described in clause (a)(iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under applicable law, prepay Swing Line Loans in an amount equal to the Swing Line Lender’s Fronting Exposure.

(b)                                 Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Swing Line Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of the outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Commitment Percentages (prior to giving effect to Section 4.7(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided, that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

47

5.                                      CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS.

5.1                               FEES.

5.1.1                     COMMITMENT FEE.  The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Commitment Percentage, a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) equal to the Applicable Margin times the actual daily amount by which the Aggregate Commitments exceed the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans outstanding, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.7. For the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate principal amount of Swing Line Loans outstanding shall not be counted towards or considered usage of the Aggregate Commitments for purposes of determining the Commitment Fee. The Commitment Fee shall accrue at all times during from the Effective Date until the Availability Termination Date, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Section 12 is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Effective Date, and on the Availability Termination Date.  The Commitment Fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Margin during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Margin separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Margin was in effect.

5.1.2                     OTHER FEES.  The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account the Fees specified in the Fee Letter in the amount and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever. The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders for their respective individual accounts the Fees specified in the Fee Letter and such other fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. All such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

5.2                               FUNDS FOR PAYMENTS.

5.2.1                     PAYMENTS TO ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.  All payments of principal, interest, Fees and any other amounts due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent in Dollars, for the accounts of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent’s Office or at such other place that the Administrative Agent may from time to time designate, in each case at or before 2:00 p.m. and in immediately available funds.  All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

5.2.2                     TAXES.

(a)                                 Payment Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.

(i)                                     Any and all payments by the Borrower or a Guarantor hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. If any

48

applicable laws (as determined in good faith discretion of the Administrative Agent) require the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Administrative Agent or a Credit Party, then the Administrative Agent or such Credit Party shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, upon the basis of the information and documentation delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.

(ii)                                  If any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the Administrative Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Administrative Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Code, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.2.2) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(iii)                               If any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent shall be required by any applicable laws other than the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (A) such Credit Party or the Administrative Agent, as required by such laws, shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by it to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) such Credit Party or the Administrative Agent, to the extent required by such Laws, shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with such Laws, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.2.2) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(b)                                 Payment of Other Taxes by the Credit Parties.  Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Credit Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c)                                  Tax Indemnifications.

(i)                                     Each of the Credit Parties shall, and does hereby, jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.2.2) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or

49

asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each of the Credit Parties shall also, and does hereby, jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required pursuant to Section 5.2.2(c)(ii) below.

(ii)                                  Each Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, (A) the Administrative Agent against any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (B) the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties, as applicable, against any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 15.4 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (C) the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties, as applicable, against any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or a Credit Party in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii).

(d)                                 Evidence of Payments.  Upon request by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or by the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 5.2.2, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

(e)                                  Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

(i)                                     Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting

50

requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 5.2.2(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii)                                  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person,

(A)                                                                                                                                                                               any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Credit Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B)                                                                                                                                                                               any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Credit Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(2)                                                                                 in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(3)                                 executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(4)                                 in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-1 to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or

(5)                                 to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance

51

Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-2 or Exhibit L-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(A)                               any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Credit Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(B)                               if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Credit Agreement.

(i)                                                                                     Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 5.2.2 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(f)                                                                                        Treatment of Certain Refunds.  Unless required by applicable laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on

52

behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender.  If any Recipient determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Credit Party or with respect to which any Credit Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.2.2, it shall pay to such Credit Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Credit Party under this Section 5.2.2 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by such Recipient, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Credit Party, upon the request of the Recipient, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Credit Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Recipient in the event the Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the applicable Recipient be required to pay any amount to the Credit Party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place the Recipient in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Recipient would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.  This subsection shall not be construed to require the Recipient to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Credit Party or any other Person.

5.2.3                     COMPUTATIONS OF INTEREST AND FEES; RETROACTIVE ADJUSTMENTS OF APPLICABLE MARGIN.

(a)                                 Computation of Interest and Fees.  All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate) shall be made on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty-five (365) or three hundred sixty-six (366) days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed.  All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year).  Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 5.2.1, bear interest for one (1) day.  Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b)                                 Financial Statement Adjustments or Restatements.  If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or for any other reason, the Borrower, or the Lenders determine that (i) the Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent or any Lender), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest

and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period.  This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any provision of this Credit Agreement to payment of any Obligations hereunder at rate specified in Section 5.9 or under Article 13.

5.3                               INABILITY TO DETERMINE LIBOR RATE.  If the Majority Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a LIBOR Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such LIBOR Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (c) the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.  Thereafter, (i) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the LIBOR Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the LIBOR Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Majority Lenders) revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

5.4                               ILLEGALITY.  If any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBOR Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (a) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue LIBOR Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (b) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the LIBOR Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the LIBOR Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Rate Loans and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the LIBOR Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the

54

period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the LIBOR Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBOR Rate.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 5.8.

5.5                               ADDITIONAL COSTS, ETC.

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

(i)                                                                                                                               impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement contemplated by Section 5.5(b);

(ii)                                                                                                                            subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii)                                                                                                                         impose on any Lender Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Credit Agreement or LIBOR Rate Loans made by such Lender or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)                                 Reserves on LIBOR Rate Loans.  The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including LIBOR funds or deposits (currently known as “LIBOR liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan; provided the Borrower shall have received at least ten (10) days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender.  If a Lender fails to give notice ten (10) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable ten (10) days from receipt of such notice.

5.6                               CAPITAL ADEQUACY.  If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the

55

rate of return on such Lender’s capital or liquidity on the capital or liquidity of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Credit Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Swing Line Loans held by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

5.7                               CERTIFICATE AND REIMBURSEMENTS.

(a)                                 Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Sections 5.5(a) or 5.6 and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(b)                                 Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to Sections 5.5 and 5.6 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to Sections 5.5 and 5.6 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered (i) with respect to any period prior to the date that is 120 days prior to such request of such Lender knew of the circumstances giving rise to such reductions or (ii) if such Lender did not know of the circumstance giving rise to such reductions, more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine (9) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

5.8                               INDEMNITY.  Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a)                                 any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(b)                                 any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or

(c)                                  any assignment of a LIBOR Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 16.13;

56

including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.  The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 5.8, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each LIBOR Rate Loan made by it at the LIBOR Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such LIBOR Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

All of the Borrower’s obligations under Section 5.2 through Section 5.8 shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, assignment of rights by, or the replacement of a Lender, repayment of all Obligations hereunder, resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender, and the Availability Termination Date.

5.9                               INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, overdue principal of all Loans and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) overdue interest on the Loans and all other overdue amounts payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall bear interest compounded monthly and payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) above the then applicable rate of interest under this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents until such amount shall be paid in full (after as well as before judgment).

6.                                      COLLATERAL SECURITY.

6.1                               SECURITY OF BORROWER.  Subject to the Security Documents, the Borrower hereby covenants that the Obligations are and shall continue to be secured by a perfected first priority security interest (subject only to Permitted Liens entitled to priority under applicable law) in the Collateral specified in the Security Documents, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents to which the Borrower is a party.

6.2                               BORROWING BASE COMPLIANCE.  Immediately before and after giving effect to the Borrowings or other credit extensions requested hereunder, (a) the sum of the outstanding amount of the Loans shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the Aggregate Commitments at such time and (ii) the Borrowing Base at such time plus, at all times when the Consolidated EBIT to Consolidated Cash Interest Expense Ratio is less than 1.50:1.00, the Termination Value of the Obligations under Specified Hedging Agreements.

6.3                               ADDITION, REMOVAL AND SUBSTITUTION OF COLLATERAL.  The Borrower may, from time to time, add to the Collateral Eligible Containers (“Added Containers”).  The Borrower also may remove Eligible Containers from the Collateral without any replacement, or may replace any Eligible Container included in the Collateral (each, a “Released Container”) with a replacement Container (each, a “Substitute Container”); provided that prior to such removal the Borrower shall provide notice to the Collateral Agent to request release of Collateral Agent’s Lien on such Released Containers, and the Collateral Agent shall

57

respond to such request within three Business Days upon receipt of such notice; provided further that (A) all of the following conditions are met in connection with such removal or substitution and (B) to the extent any such condition is measured at the end of a calendar quarter, all Containers released or added, as applicable, within such calendar quarter shall be considered on an aggregate basis in determining whether such condition has been satisfied:

(i)                                                                               each Substitute Container is an Eligible Container;

(ii)                                                                            the release of Containers will not cause or result in an Event of Default; and

(iii)                                                                         the Administrative Agent has received evidence that after such removal or substitution the Borrower is in compliance with the Borrowing Base.

The Substitute Container(s) and all the Related Assets shall become Collateral subject to this Credit Agreement and the Security Agreement and the security interest granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents.  The Borrower shall take all necessary action, and any action that the Collateral Agent reasonably determines is advisable, to protect and perfect the Collateral Agent’s Lien in the Substitute Container(s).  Upon the Collateral Agent’s obtaining a first priority perfected Lien in the Substitute Container(s), and subject to satisfaction of the above conditions, the Collateral Agent shall release its Lien in each Released Container and all the Related Assets with respect to such Released Containers.

7.                                      REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

In order to induce the Lenders to enter into this Credit Agreement and to make Loans as provided for herein, the Borrower makes the following representations, warranties and agreements with the Administrative Agent and Lenders, all of which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Credit Agreement and the making of Loans (with the occurrence of the Effective Date and each Funding Date on or after the Effective Date being deemed to constitute a representation and warranty that the matters specified in this Section 7 are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Effective Date and on and as of such Funding Date unless stated to relate to a specific earlier date in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date):

The Borrower and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors has duly executed and delivered each Loan Document to which it is a party and each such Loan Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).

7.5                               MARGIN REGULATIONS.  No part of any Loan (or the proceeds thereof) will be used to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to extend credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock. Neither the making of any Loan nor the use of the proceeds thereof nor the occurrence of any other Loan will violate or be inconsistent with the provisions of Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X.

59

the Subsidiary Guarantors, or is required to be obtained by the Borrower or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors in connection with (a) the execution, delivery and performance by any such Person of any Loan Document or (b) the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any Loan Document with respect to any such Person, in each case, except for (i) the filing of any Security Documents and (ii) such the failure of which to make or obtain, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

7.7                               INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT.  Neither the Borrower nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

7.9                               TRUE AND COMPLETE DISCLOSURE.  All factual information (taken as a whole) furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in writing to the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including, without limitation, all information contained in the Loan Documents) for purposes of or in connection with this Credit Agreement is, and all other such factual information (taken as a whole) hereafter furnished by, or on behalf of, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in writing to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with this Credit Agreement will be, true and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such information is dated or certified and not incomplete by omitting to state any material fact necessary to make such information (taken as a whole) not misleading in any material respect at such time in light of the circumstances under which such information was provided; provided, however, that to the extent that any such information was based upon or constitutes a forecast or projection, the Borrower represents only that it acted in good faith and utilized assumptions believed by its management to be reasonable at the time made in the preparation of such information (it being understood by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that any financial information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact and that actual results during the period or periods covered thereby may differ from the projected results set forth therein).

7.10                        FINANCIAL CONDITION; FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.  (a) On and as of the Effective Date, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to all Indebtedness (including all Extensions of Credit) incurred, and to be incurred, and Liens created, and to be created, by the Borrower in connection therewith, with respect the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) (x) the sum of the assets, at a fair valuation, of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) will exceed their debts, (y) they have not incurred nor intended to, nor believe that they will, incur debts beyond their ability to pay such debts as such debts mature and (z) they will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct their business in the manner such business is now conducted. For purposes of this Section 7.10(a), “debt” means any liability on a claim, and “claim” means (i) right to payment, whether or not such a right is reduced to judgment, liquidated, unliquidated, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, legal, equitable, secured or unsecured or (ii) right to an equitable remedy for breach of performance if such breach gives rise to a payment, whether or not such right to an equitable remedy is reduced to judgment, fixed, contingent, matured, unmatured, disputed, undisputed, secured or unsecured. The amount of contingent liabilities at

60

any time shall be computed as the amount that, in the light of all facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.

(b)                                 The audited consolidated balance sheets of TAL Group and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity of TAL Group for the fiscal year and fiscal quarter ended on such dates, in each case furnished to the Administrative Agent and Lenders prior to the Effective Date, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial position of TAL Group and its Restricted Subsidiaries at the date of said balance sheets and the consolidated results of their operations for the respective periods covered thereby. All of the foregoing financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied.

(c)                                  Since December 31, 2012, there has been no change in the business, financial condition or operations of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (other than the incurrence of Indebtedness under the Loan Documents (and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and those effected pursuant to the Master Indenture Documents), and other than any other Indebtedness identified in the Effective Date Officer’s Certificate) that would reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

7.11                        SECURITY INTERESTS.  On and after the Effective Date, each of the Security Documents creates as security in the United States for the Obligations covered thereby, a valid and enforceable security interest in and Lien on all of the Collateral subject thereto, without prejudice to any statutory priority rights, superior to and prior to the rights of all third Persons, and subject to no other Liens except Permitted Liens. The Borrower has filed or caused to be filed all UCC financing statements in the appropriate offices therefor (or has authenticated and delivered to the Administrative Agent UCC financing statements suitable for filing in such offices) and has taken all of the actions necessary in the United States to perfect a security interest in the Collateral created under the Security Documents.

7.12                        COMPLIANCE WITH ERISA.  The Borrower and each ERISA Affiliate are each in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events, could reasonably be expected to result in any liability of the Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate in excess of $20,000,000. The present value of all benefit liabilities under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the last annual valuation date applicable thereto, exceed by more than $15,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of such Plan, and the present value of all benefit liabilities of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the last annual valuation date applicable thereto, exceed by more than $20,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans.

61

7.13                        SUBSIDIARIES.  On and as of the Effective Date, the Borrower has no Subsidiaries other than those Subsidiaries listed on the Effective Date Officer’s Certificate.

All outstanding shares of Capital Stock of each Subsidiary of the Borrower have been duly and validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable (to the extent applicable in the jurisdiction of organization of such Subsidiary). As of the Effective Date, no Subsidiary of the Borrower has outstanding any securities convertible into or exchangeable for its Capital Stock or outstanding any right to subscribe for or to purchase, or any options or warrants for the purchase of, or any agreement providing for the issuance (contingent or otherwise) of or any calls, commitments or claims of any character relating to, its Capital Stock or any stock appreciation or similar rights. Except for the existing investments described on the Effective Date Officer’s Certificate, as of the Effective Date, neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries owns or holds, directly or indirectly, any Capital Stock of any Person other than its Subsidiaries indicated on the Effective Date Officer’s Certificate.

owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries but no longer owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) or relating to the past or present operations of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to form the basis of an Environmental Claim against the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or any such property (real or personal).

7.16                        LABOR RELATIONS.  As of the Effective Date, there are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries pending, or to the knowledge of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, threatened. The hours worked by and payments made to employees of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or and other applicable federal, state or local law dealing with such matters, except for such violations that would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

7.17                        TAX RETURNS AND PAYMENTS.  The Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries have timely filed (including applicable extensions) with the appropriate taxing authority, all federal and other material returns, statements, forms and reports for taxes (the “Returns”) required to be filed by or with respect to the income, properties or operations of the Borrower and each of its Restricted Subsidiaries. The Returns accurately reflect in all material respects all liability for taxes of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries as a whole for the periods covered thereby. The Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries have paid all material taxes payable by them other than those contested in good faith and for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP. To the knowledge of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, there are no proposed tax assessments against the Borrower and each Restricted Subsidiary that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

7.18                        EXISTING INDEBTEDNESS.  The Effective Date Officer’s Certificate sets forth all material Indebtedness of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries as of the Effective Date (exclusive of Indebtedness pursuant to the Loan Documents), in each case showing the aggregate principal amount thereof (and the aggregate amount of any undrawn commitments with respect thereto) and the name of the respective borrower and any other entity which guarantees such debt.

7.19                        INSURANCE.  The Effective Date Officer’s Certificate sets forth a summary of all insurance maintained by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries on and as of the Effective Date, with the amounts insured (and any deductibles) set forth therein.

7.20                        FOREIGN ASSETS CONTROL REGULATIONS, ETC.  None of the requesting or borrowing of any Loan or the use of the proceeds of such will violate the Trading With the Enemy Act (50 U.S.C. ss. 1 et seq., as amended) (the “Trading With the Enemy Act”) or any of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) (the “Foreign Assets Control Regulations”) or any enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto (which for the avoidance of doubt shall include, but shall not be limited to (a) Executive Order 13224 of September 21, 2001 Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism (66 Fed. Reg. 49079 (2001)) (the “Executive Order”) and (b) the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct

63
