In connection with each Eurodollar Rate Loan, Company may, pursuant to the applicable Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, as the case may be, select an interest period (each an “Interest Period”) to be applicable to such Loan, which Interest Period shall be, at Company’s option, a one, two, three or six month period or, if deposits in the interbank Eurodollar market are available to all Lenders for such period (as determined by each Lender), a twelve month period or such shorter period as may be requested by Company; provided that:

(i) the initial Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loan shall commence on the Funding Date in respect of such Loan, in the case of a Loan initially made as a Eurodollar Rate Loan, or on the date specified in the applicable Notice of Conversion/Continuation, in the case of a Loan converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan;

(ii) in the case of immediately successive Interest Periods applicable to a Eurodollar Rate Loan continued as such pursuant to a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, each successive Interest Period shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period expires;

(iii) if an Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day; provided that, if any Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day that is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;

(iv) any Interest Period that begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period) shall, subject to clause (v) of this subsection 2.2B, end on the last Business Day of a calendar month;

(v) no Interest Period with respect to any portion of the Term Loans shall extend beyond the applicable Term Loan Maturity Date, and no Interest Period with respect to any portion of the Revolving Loans shall extend beyond the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date;

(vi) no Interest Period with respect to any portion of the Term Loans shall extend beyond a date on which Company is required to make a scheduled payment of principal of such Term Loans unless the sum of (a) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of the Class to be repaid that are Alternate Base Rate Loans plus (b) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans of the type to be repaid that are Eurodollar Rate Loans with Interest Periods expiring on or before such date equals or exceeds the principal amount required to be paid on the Term Loans of such Class on such date;

(vii) there shall be no more than ten Interest Periods outstanding at any time; and

(viii) in the event Company fails to specify an Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loan in the applicable Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Company shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month.

C. Interest Payments. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.2E, interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on and to each Interest Payment Date applicable to that Loan, upon any prepayment of that Loan (to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid) and at maturity (including final maturity); provided that in the event any Revolving Loans that are Alternate Base Rate Loans are prepaid pursuant to subsection 2.4D(i), interest accrued on such Revolving Loans through the date of such prepayment shall be payable on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date applicable to Alternate Base Rate Loans (or, if earlier, at final maturity).

D. Conversion or Continuation. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.6, Company shall have the option (i) to convert at any time all or any part of its outstanding Term Loans of a Class or Revolving Loans equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount from Loans bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to one basis to Loans bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to an alternative basis or (ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, to continue all or any portion of such Loan equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount as a Eurodollar Rate Loan; provided, however, that a Eurodollar Rate Loan may only be converted into a Alternate Base Rate Loan on the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable thereto.

Company shall deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation to Administrative Agent no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed conversion date (in the case of a conversion to an Alternate Base Rate Loan) and at least three Eurodollar Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date (in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan). A Notice of Conversion/Continuation shall specify (i) the proposed conversion/continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the amount, Class and type of the Loan to be converted/continued, (iii) the nature of the proposed conversion/continuation, (iv) in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the requested Interest Period, and (v) in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan, that no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. In lieu of delivering the above-described Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Company may give Administrative Agent telephonic notice by the required time of any proposed conversion/continuation under this subsection 2.2D; provided that such notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing by delivery of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation to Administrative Agent on or before the proposed conversion/continuation date. Upon receipt of written or telephonic notice of any proposed conversion/continuation under this subsection 2.2D, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender.

Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability to Company in acting upon any telephonic notice referred to above that Administrative Agent believes in good faith to have been given by a duly authorized officer or other person authorized to act on behalf of Company or for otherwise acting in good faith under this subsection 2.2D, and upon conversion or continuation of the applicable basis for determining the interest rate with respect to any Loans in accordance with this Agreement pursuant to any such telephonic notice Company shall have effected a conversion or continuation, as the case may be, hereunder.

Except as otherwise provided in subsections 2.6B, 2.6C and 2.6G, a Notice of Conversion/Continuation for conversion to, or continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable and Company shall be bound to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance therewith.

E. Default Rate. In the event that the outstanding principal amount of any Loan, any interest or any fees or other amounts due and payable hereunder are not paid when due, such overdue amounts shall thereafter bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable bankruptcy laws) payable upon demand at a rate that is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable under this Agreement with respect to the applicable Loans (or, in the case of any such fees and other amounts, at a rate which is 2% per annum, in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable under this Agreement for 5-Year Term Loans that are Alternate Base Rate Loans); provided that, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, upon the expiration of the Interest Period in effect at the time any such increase in interest rate is effective such Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon become Alternate Base Rate Loans and shall thereafter bear interest payable upon demand at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable under this Agreement for Alternate Base Rate Loans. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this subsection 2.2E is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Administrative Agent or any Lender.

F. Computation of Interest. Interest on the Loans shall be computed on the basis of (i) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans a 360-day year or (ii) in the case of Alternate Base Rate Loans, a 365 or 366-day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to an Alternate Base Rate Loan being converted from a Eurodollar Rate Loan the date of conversion of such Eurodollar Rate Loan to such Alternate Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to an Alternate Base Rate Loan being converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Base Rate Loan to such Eurodollar Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided that if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan.

2.3 Fees

A. Facility Fees. Company agrees to pay to Administrative Agent, for distribution to each Revolving Lender in proportion to that Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share, facility fees for the period from and including the Closing Date to and excluding the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date equal to the daily amount (whether used or unused) of the Revolving Loan Commitments multiplied by the percentage per annum determined by reference to the applicable percentage as set forth in the table below opposite the Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the four-Fiscal Quarter period ending on the date for which the applicable Compliance Certificate has been delivered pursuant to subsection 6.1(iii), such facility fees to be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and the actual number of days elapsed and to be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on June 30, 2015, and on the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date:


CONSOLIDATED LEVERAGE RATIO	FACILITY FEE APPLICABLE PERCENTAGE (PER ANNUM)
Level 1 Greater than or equal to 3.0x		0.200	%
Level 2 Greater than or equal to 2.0x but less than 3.0x		0.150	%
Level 3 Greater than or equal to 1.0x but less than 2.0x		0.125	%
▇▇▇▇▇ ▇ Less than 1.0x		0.100	%

Upon delivery of the Compliance Certificate by Company to Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 6.1(iii), the applicable facility fee percentage shall automatically be adjusted in accordance with such Compliance Certificate, such adjustment to become effective on the next succeeding Business Day following receipt by Administrative Agent of such Compliance Certificate; provided, that if at any time a Compliance Certificate is not delivered at the time required pursuant to subsection 6.1(iii), from the time such Compliance Certificate was required to be delivered until delivery of such Compliance Certificate, such applicable facility fee percentage shall be the maximum percentage amount until such Compliance Certificate is delivered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Revolving Loan Exposure remains outstanding following any expiration or termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments, the facility fees shall continue to accrue on such Revolving Loan Exposure for so long as such Revolving Loan Exposure remains outstanding and shall be payable on demand. In addition, the facility fees otherwise payable to any Defaulting Lender in respect of the unfunded portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment (i.e., the portion thereof not utilized by the making of Revolving Loans or the actual purchase of participations in Letter of Credit drawings) shall not be payable for so long as, and with respect to the period during which, such Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

B. Upfront Fees. Company agrees to pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of and for distribution to each Lender in proportion to that Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share, the upfront fees with respect to such Lender’s Commitments separately agreed to by Company and Joint Lead Arrangers, due and payable on and subject to the occurrence of the Closing Date.

C. Other Fees. Company agrees to pay to an Agent such other fees in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between Company and such Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers.

The 5-Year Term Loans and all other amounts owed hereunder with respect to the 5-Year Term Loans shall be paid in full no later than the Term Loan Maturity Date for the 5-Year Term Loans, and the final installment payable by Company in respect of the 5-Year Term Loans on such date shall be in an amount, if such amount is different from that specified above, sufficient to repay all amounts owing by Company under this Agreement with respect to the 5-Year Term Loans.

B. Scheduled Payment of 2-Year Term Loans. The 2-Year Term Loans and all other amounts owed hereunder with respect to the 2-Year Term Loans shall be paid in full no later than the Term Loan Maturity Date for the 2-Year Term Loans.

C. Scheduled Payments of the Other Term Loans. Company shall make principal payments on the Other Term Loans at the times and in the amounts provided for in the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement.

D. Prepayments and Unscheduled Reductions in Commitments.

(i) Voluntary Prepayments. Company may, upon prior written or telephonic notice given on the same Business Day, in the case of Alternate Base Rate Loans, and three Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, in each case given to Administrative Agent by 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date required and, if given by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing to Administrative Agent (the details of such written or telephonic notice Administrative Agent will promptly give by telefacsimile, electronic mail or telephone to each Lender), at any time and from time to time prepay any Term Loans of any Class or Revolving Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount without premium or penalty; provided, however, that Company shall pay any amounts payable pursuant to subsection 2.6D in connection with any such prepayment other than at the expiration of an Interest Period. Notice of prepayment having been given as aforesaid, the principal amount of the Loans specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the prepayment date specified therein. Any such voluntary prepayment shall be applied as specified in subsection 2.4D(iii).

(ii) Voluntary Termination or Reduction of Commitments. Company may, upon not less than one Business Day’s prior written or telephonic notice confirmed in writing to Administrative Agent (which written or telephonic notice Administrative Agent will promptly transmit by telefacsimile or telephonic notice confirmed in writing to each Lender), at any time and from time to time terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part, without premium or penalty, (a) the Term Loan Commitments of any Class or (b) the Revolving Loan Commitments in an amount up to the amount by which the Revolving Loan Commitments exceed the Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments at the time of such proposed termination or reduction after giving effect to any prepayments of the Revolving Loans made on the effective date thereof; provided that, in each case, any such partial reduction of the Commitments shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount. Company’s notice to Administrative Agent shall designate the date (which shall be a Business Day) of such termination or reduction and the amount of any partial reduction, and such termination or reduction of Commitments shall be effective on the date specified in Company’s notice and shall reduce (a) the Term Loan Commitment of each Term Lender or (b) the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Revolving Lender, in each case proportionately to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share.

(iii) Application of Prepayments and Reductions of Commitments.

(a) Application of Voluntary Prepayments by Type of Loans and Maturity. Any voluntary prepayments pursuant to subsection 2.4D(i) shall be applied as specified by Company in the applicable notice of prepayment. In the event Company fails to specify the Loans to which prepayment shall be applied, such prepayment shall be applied first, to outstanding Revolving Loans to the full extent thereof, second to outstanding 2-Year Term Loans, third to outstanding 5-Year Term Loans and fourth to outstanding Other Term Loans. Any voluntary prepayments of the 5-Year Term Loans or the Other Term Loans pursuant to subsection 2.4D(i) shall be applied to reduce the scheduled installments of principal of the 5-Year Term Loans or the Other Term Loans set forth in subsection 2.4A or in the related Incremental Assumption Agreement, as applicable, as specified by Company or, if no such order is specified, in direct order of maturity.

(b) Application of Prepayments to Alternate Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Rate Loans. Considering 2-Year Term Loans, 5-Year Term Loans, Other Term Loans and Revolving Loans being prepaid separately, any prepayment thereof shall be applied first to Alternate Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Eurodollar Rate Loans, in each case in a manner which minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by Company pursuant to subsection 2.6D.

E. General Provisions Regarding Payments.

(i) Manner and Time of Payment. All payments by Company of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations hereunder and under the Notes shall be made in Dollars in same day funds, without defense, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date due at the Funding and Payment Office for the account of Lenders; funds received by Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by Company on the next succeeding Business Day.

(ii) Application of Payments to Principal and Interest. Except as provided in subsection 2.2C, all payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan shall include payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid, and all such payments (and, in any event, any payments in respect of any Loan on a date when interest is due and payable with respect to such Loan) shall be applied to the payment of interest before application to principal.

(iii) Apportionment of Payments. Except as provided above with respect to facility fees of Defaulting Lenders, aggregate principal, interest and fee payments in respect of Loans and Commitments of the applicable Class shall be apportioned among all outstanding Loans or Commitments to which such payments relate, in each case proportionately to Lenders’ respective Pro Rata Shares. Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender, at its primary address set forth below its

name on the appropriate signature page hereof or at such other address as such Lender may request, its Pro Rata Share of all such payments received by Administrative Agent when received by Administrative Agent and the fees of such Lender when received by Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 2.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection 2.4E(iii), if, pursuant to the provisions of subsection 2.6C, any Notice of Conversion/Continuation is withdrawn as to any Affected Lender or if any Affected Lender makes Alternate Base Rate Loans in lieu of its Pro Rata Share of any Eurodollar Rate Loans, Administrative Agent shall give effect thereto in apportioning payments received thereafter.

(iv) Payments on Business Days. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder or of the fees hereunder, as the case may be.

(v) Notation of Payment. Each Lender agrees that before disposing of any Note held by it, or any part thereof (other than by granting participations therein), that Lender will make a notation thereon of all Loans evidenced by that Note and all principal payments previously made thereon and of the date to which interest thereon has been paid; provided that the failure to make (or any error in the making of) a notation of any Loan made under such Note shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Company hereunder or under such Note with respect to any Loan or any payments of principal or interest on such Note.

F. Payments Under Subsidiary Guaranty. All payments received by Administrative Agent under the Subsidiary Guaranty shall be applied promptly from time to time by Administrative Agent in the following order of priority:

(i) to the payment of the costs and expenses of any collection or other realization under the Subsidiary Guaranty, including reasonable compensation to Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by Administrative Agent in connection therewith, all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Subsidiary Guaranty;

(ii) thereafter, to the extent of any excess such payments, to the payment of all other Guarantied Obligations (as defined in the Subsidiary Guaranty) for the ratable benefit of the holders thereof;

(iii) thereafter, to the extent of any excess such payments, to the payment of cash collateral for Letters of Credit for the ratable benefit of the Issuing Lenders thereof and holders of participations therein; and

(iv) thereafter, to the extent of any excess such payments, to the payment to the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

2.5 Use of Proceeds

A. Term Loans. The proceeds of the Term Loans made on the Closing Date shall be used solely for working capital requirements and general corporate purposes, which may include the making of intercompany loans to any of Company’s Wholly Owned Subsidiaries and for making acquisitions.

B. Revolving Loans. The proceeds of the Revolving Loans to be drawn on the Closing Date shall be used to refinance all amounts due or outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement and to pay related fees and expenses. The proceeds of any Revolving Loans drawn after the Closing Date will be used by Company solely for working capital requirements and general corporate purposes, which may include the making of intercompany loans to any of Company’s Wholly Owned Subsidiaries and for making acquisitions.

C. Letters of Credit. The issuance of Letters of Credit will be requested solely for general corporate purposes.

D. Margin Regulations. No portion of the proceeds of any borrowing under this Agreement shall be used by Company or any of its Subsidiaries in any manner that might cause the borrowing or the application of such proceeds to violate Regulation U, Regulation T or Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other regulation of such Board or to violate the Exchange Act, in each case as in effect on the date or dates of such borrowing and such use of proceeds.

2.6 Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the following provisions shall govern with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans as to the matters covered:

A. Determination of Applicable Interest Rate. As soon as practicable after 11:00 A.M. (London time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date, Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the Eurodollar Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Company and each Lender.

B. Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loans, that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such Loans on the basis provided for in the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Company and each Lender of such determination, whereupon (i) no Loans may be made as, or converted to, Eurodollar Rate Loans until such time as Administrative Agent notifies Company and Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist and (ii) any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by Company with respect to the Loans in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded by Company.

C. Illegality of Eurodollar Rate Loans. In the event that on any date any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation with Administrative Agent) that the making, maintaining or continuation of its Eurodollar Rate Loans has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order which came into effect after the Closing Date (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), then, and in any such event, such Lender shall be an “Affected Lender” and it shall on that day give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Company and Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Thereafter (a) the obligation of the Affected Lender to make Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by the Affected Lender, (b) to the extent such determination by the Affected Lender relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by Company pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the Affected Lender shall make such Loan as (or convert such Loan to, as the case may be) an Alternate Base Rate Loan, (c) the Affected Lender’s obligation to maintain its outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans (the “Affected Loans”) shall be terminated at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the Affected Loans or when required by law, and (d) the Affected Loans shall automatically convert into Alternate Base Rate Loans on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by Company pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, Company shall have the option, subject to the provisions of subsection 2.6D, to rescind such Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation as to all Lenders by giving notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which the Affected Lender gives notice of its determination as described above (which notice of rescission Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this subsection 2.6C shall affect the obligation of any Lender other than an Affected Lender to make or maintain Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

D. Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. Company shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by that Lender (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amounts), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid by that Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Eurodollar Rate Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by that Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds, but excluding loss of profit) which that Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by that Lender) a borrowing of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a telephonic request for borrowing, or a conversion to or continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Conversion/Continuation or a telephonic request for conversion or continuation, (ii) if any prepayment (including any prepayment pursuant to subsection 2.4D(i) or by virtue of the replacement of any Lender pursuant to subsection 2.8B or 10.6B) or other principal payment or any conversion of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan, (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by Company, or (iv) as a consequence of any other default by Company in the repayment of its Eurodollar Rate Loans when required by the terms of this Agreement.

E. Booking of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Any Lender may make, carry or transfer Eurodollar Rate Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of that Lender; provided, that such making, carrying or transferring Eurodollar Rate Loans does not result in any costs or Taxes to Company pursuant to subsection 2.7.

F. Assumptions Concerning Funding of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this subsection 2.6 and under subsection 2.7A shall be made as though that Lender had actually funded each of its relevant Eurodollar Rate Loans through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to the definition of Eurodollar Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such Eurodollar Rate Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and through the transfer of such Eurodollar deposit from an offshore office of that Lender to a domestic office of that Lender in the United States of America; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its Eurodollar Rate Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this subsection 2.6 and under subsection 2.7A.

G. Eurodollar Rate Loans After Default. After the occurrence of and during the continuation of a Potential Event of Default or an Event of Default if notified by Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders, (i) Company may not elect to have a Loan be made or maintained as, or converted to, a Eurodollar Rate Loan after the expiration of any Interest Period then in effect for that Loan and (ii) subject to the provisions of subsection 2.6D, any Notice of Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans or Notice of Conversion/Continuation which would result in Eurodollar Loans being outstanding given by Company with respect to a requested borrowing or conversion/continuation that has not yet occurred shall be deemed to be rescinded by Company.

2.7 Increased Costs; Taxes; Capital Adequacy

A. Compensation for Increased Costs and Taxes. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.7B (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Lender shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof (including the introduction of any new law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order), or any determination of a Governmental Authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date hereof (and, for purposes of this Agreement, (x) the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, guidelines or directives in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, are deemed to have gone into effect and adopted after the date hereof), or compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive issued or made after the date hereof by any Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law):

(i) subjects such Lender (or its applicable lending office) to any additional 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;

(ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender (other than any such reserve or other requirements with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans that are reflected in the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate); or

(iii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or its obligations hereunder or the interbank Eurodollar market; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Loans hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable lending office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, Company shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of,

or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder; provided that Company shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this subsection for any increased cost or reduction incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Company of such change giving rise to such increased cost or reduction and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if such change giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then the 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. Such Lender shall deliver to Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this subsection 2.7A, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

B. Withholding of Taxes.

(i) Payments to Be Free and Clear. All sums payable by Company under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall (except to the extent required by law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Taxes imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or within the United States of America or any political subdivision in or of the United States of America or any other jurisdiction from or to which a payment is made by or on behalf of Company or by any federation or organization of which the United States of America or any such jurisdiction is a member at the time of payment.

(ii) Grossing-Up of Payments. If Company or any other Person is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any such Tax from any sum paid or payable by Company to Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Loan Documents:

(a) Company shall notify Administrative Agent of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as Company becomes aware of it;

(b) Company shall pay any such Tax before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on Company) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be) on behalf of and in the name of Administrative Agent or such Lender;

(c) If such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Company in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment is required

shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction, withholding or payment, Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction, withholding or payment been required or made; and

(d) within 30 days after paying any sum from which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding, and within 30 days after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is required by clause (b) above to pay, Company shall deliver to Administrative Agent evidence satisfactory to the other affected parties of such deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority.

(iii) Evidence of Exemption From Withholding Tax.

(a) Each Lender that is not a United States person as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code (for purposes of this subsection 2.7B(iii), a “Non-US Lender”) shall deliver to Administrative Agent for transmission to Company, on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof) or on or prior to the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of Company or Administrative Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (1) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E, Form W-8ECI or Form W-8IMY, as the case may be (or any successor forms), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, together with any other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Internal Revenue Code or the regulations issued thereunder to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of the Loan Documents or (2) if such Lender is not a “bank” or other Person described in Section 881(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, a Certificate Re Non-Bank Status together with two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8IMY (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, together with any other certificates or statements of exemption requested by Company required under the Internal Revenue Code or the regulations issued thereunder to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of interest payable under any of the Loan Documents. Each Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code shall deliver to Administrative Agent for transmission to Company, on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof) or on or prior to the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), and at such other times as it may be necessary in the determination of Company or Administrative Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), two copies of executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other

documentation or information prescribed by applicable laws or reasonably requested by Company or Administrative Agent as will enable Company or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

(b) Each Lender required to deliver any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters pursuant to subsection 2.7B(iii)(a) hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of such forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall promptly (1) deliver to Administrative Agent for transmission to Company two new original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form ▇-▇▇▇▇, ▇-▇▇▇▇-▇, ▇-▇▇▇▇ or W-8IMY, as the case may be, or a Certificate Re Non-Bank Status and two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8IMY, as the case may be, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, together with any other certificates or statements of exemption requested by Company required in order to confirm or establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents or (2) notify Administrative Agent and Company of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence.

(c) Company shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any Lender under clause (c) of subsection 2.7B(ii) if such Lender shall have failed to satisfy the requirements of clause (a), (b)(1) or (d) of this subsection 2.7B(iii); provided that if such Lender shall have satisfied the requirements of subsection 2.7B(iii)(a) on the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof) or on the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it became a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), nothing in this subsection 2.7B(iii)(c) shall relieve Company of its obligation to pay any additional amounts pursuant to clause (c) of subsection 2.7B(ii) in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender is not subject to withholding as described in subsection 2.7B(iii)(a).

(d) If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement 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 Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Withholding Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation

reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, 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 subsection 2.7B(iii)(d), FATCA shall include any regulations or official interpretations thereof.

C. Payment of Other Taxes by Company. Company 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.

D. Indemnification by Company. Company shall indemnify each Lender and Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including all Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.7) payable or paid by such Lender or Administrative Agent or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender or Administrative Agent and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and calculation of the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Company 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.

E. Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Company has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Company to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.1 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent 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 any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this subsection 2.7E.

F. Capital Adequacy Adjustment. If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption, effectiveness, phase-in or applicability after the date hereof of any law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital adequacy or liquidity, or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) with any guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity

(whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s Loans or Commitments or Letters of Credit or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans or the Letters of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase-in, applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time, within five Business Days after receipt by Company from such Lender of the statement referred to in the next sentence, Company shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling corporation on an after-tax basis for such reduction; provided that Company shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this subsection for any reduction incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Company of such change giving rise to such reduction and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if such change giving rise to such reduction is retroactive, then the 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. Such Lender shall deliver to Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of the calculation of such additional amounts, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

G. Refund and Contest. If Administrative Agent or any Lender receives a refund with respect to Tax deducted, withheld or paid by Company and with respect to which Company has been required to and has paid an additional amount under this subsection 2.7, which in the good faith judgment of such Lender is allocable to such deduction, withholding or payment, it shall promptly pay such refund, together with any other amount paid by Company in connection with such refunded Tax and any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund, to Company, net of all unreimbursed out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender incurred in obtaining such refund, provided, however, that Company agrees to promptly return such refund to Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, if it receives notice from Administrative Agent or applicable Lender that such Administrative Agent or Lender is required to repay such refund. Each of Administrative Agent and such Lender agrees that it will contest such Tax or liabilities paid by Company if Administrative Agent or such Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it would not be materially disadvantaged or prejudiced as a result of such contest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection 2.7G, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection 2.7G the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

2.8 Obligation of Lenders and Issuing Lenders to Mitigate; Replacement

A. Mitigation. Each Lender and Issuing Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender or Issuing Lender responsible for administering the Loans or Letters of Credit of such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause such Lender to become an Affected Lender or that would entitle such Lender or Issuing Lender to receive payments under subsection 2.7 or subsection 3.6, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender or Issuing Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts (i) to make, issue, fund or maintain the Commitments of such Lender or the affected Loans or Letters of Credit of such Lender or Issuing Lender through another lending or letter of credit office of such Lender or Issuing Lender, or (ii) take such other measures as such Lender or Issuing Lender may deem reasonable, which may include assignment of its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an Affected Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender or Issuing Lender pursuant to subsection 2.7 or subsection 3.6 would be materially reduced and if, as determined by such Lender or Issuing Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Commitments or Loans or Letters of Credit through such other lending or letter of credit office or in accordance with such other measures, including assignment, as the case may be, would not otherwise materially adversely affect such Commitments or Loans or Letters of Credit or the interests of such Lender or Issuing Lender; provided that such Lender or Issuing Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other lending or letter of credit office pursuant to this subsection 2.8 unless Company agrees to pay all reasonable incremental expenses incurred by such Lender or Issuing Lender as a result of utilizing such other lending or letter of credit office as described in clause (i) above. A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by Company pursuant to this subsection 2.8 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Lender or Issuing Lender to Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

B. Replacement. In the event of (a) a refusal by a Lender to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to this Agreement which has been approved by Requisite Lenders (but requires consent of all Lenders) as provided in subsection 10.6, (b) any Lender becomes an Affected Lender or requests compensation under subsection 2.7A, 2.7C or 3.6, (c) Company is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to subsection 2.7B, or (d) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then Company may, at its sole expense and effort, replace such Lender (a “Replaced Lender”) with one or more Eligible Assignees (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”) reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent, provided that (i) at the time of any replacement pursuant to this subsection 2.8 the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or more Assignment Agreements pursuant to subsection 10.1B (and with all fees payable pursuant to such subsection 10.1B to be paid by the Replacement Lender) pursuant to which the Replacement Lender shall acquire all of the outstanding Loans and Commitments of, and in each case participations in Letters of Credit by, the Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to (x) the Replaced Lender in respect thereof an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Replaced Lender, (B) an amount equal to all unpaid drawings with

respect to Letters of Credit that have been funded by (and not reimbursed to) such Replaced Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time, and (C) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, fees owing to the Replaced Lender with respect thereto, and (y) the appropriate Issuing Lender an amount equal to such Replaced Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any unpaid drawings with respect to Letters of Credit (which at such time remains an unpaid drawing) issued by it to the extent such amount was not theretofore funded by such Replaced Lender and (ii) all obligations (including without limitation all such amounts, if any, owing under subsection 2.6D) of Company owing to the Replaced Lender (other than those specifically described in clause (i) above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid), shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement. Upon the execution of the respective Assignment Agreements and the acceptance thereof by Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 10.1B, the payment of amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by Company, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement which by the terms of this Agreement survive the termination of this Agreement, which indemnification provisions shall survive as to such Replaced Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, no Issuing Lender may be replaced hereunder at any time while it has Letters of Credit outstanding hereunder unless arrangements satisfactory to such Issuing Lender (including the furnishing of a standby Letter of Credit in form and substance, and issued by an issuer satisfactory to such Issuing Lender or the furnishing of cash collateral in amounts and pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to such Issuing Lender) have been made with respect to such outstanding Letters of Credit. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Company to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

2.9 Incremental Loan Commitments

A. Company may, by written notice to Administrative Agent from time to time, request Incremental Loan Commitments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $1,000,000,000 from one or more Incremental Lenders (which may include any existing Lender) willing to provide such Incremental Loan Commitments in their own discretion; provided that each Incremental Lender (other than any existing Lender or Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund) shall be subject to the approval of Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Such notice shall set forth (i) the amount of the Incremental Loan Commitments being requested, (ii) the date on which such Incremental Loan Commitments are requested to become effective and (iii) whether such Incremental Loan Commitments are commitments to make an Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment, additional 5-Year Term Loans or term loans with terms different from the 5-Year Term Loans (“Other Term Loans”).

B. Company and each Incremental Lender shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Incremental Assumption Agreement and such other documentation as

Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Incremental Loan Commitment of such Incremental Lender. Each Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment shall be on the same terms as the Revolving Loan Commitments. The Other Term Loans shall have the terms agreed to by Company and the Incremental Term Loan Lenders; provided that (i) Other Term Loans shall not have a final maturity date earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date for the 5-Year Term Loans, (ii) Other Term Loans shall not have a weighted average life to maturity that is shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the then remaining 5-Year Term Loans, (iii) if the effective yield (which, for such purpose only, shall be deemed to take account of interest rate margin and benchmark floors, recurring fees and all upfront or similar fees or original issue discount (amortized over the shorter of (1) the weighted average life of such Other Term Loans and (2) four years) payable to all Lenders providing such Other Term Loans (but excluding any arrangement, structuring, syndication or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared with all Lenders (in their capacity as such) providing such Other Term Loans) on such Other Term Loans determined as of the Funding Date for such Other Term Loans exceeds the effective yield (determined on same basis as the preceding parenthetical) on the 5-Year Term Loans immediately prior to the effectiveness of the applicable Incremental Assumption Agreement by more than 0.50%, the applicable Alternate Base Rate Margin or Eurodollar Rate Margin, as applicable, relating to the 5-Year Term Loans shall be adjusted and/or Company will pay additional fees to Lenders holding 5-Year Term Loans in order that such effective yield on such Other Term Loans shall not exceed such effective yield on the 5-Year Term Loans by more than 0.50% and (iv) the other terms and documentation in respect of Other Term Loans, to the extent not consistent with the 5-Year Term Loans, shall otherwise be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

C. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental Assumption Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Incremental Loan Commitments evidenced thereby as provided for in subsection 10.6. Any such deemed amendment may be memorialized in writing by Administrative Agent with Company’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) and furnished to the other parties hereto.

D. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Loan Commitment shall become effective under this subsection 2.9 unless (i) on the date of such effectiveness, the conditions set forth in subsection 4.2B shall be satisfied and Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a responsible officer of Company, provided that if the proceeds of the Incremental Loan are being used to finance a Limited Condition Acquisition, then except to the extent otherwise required by the applicable Incremental Lenders, (x) the representations and warranties referred to in subsection 4.2B(i) shall be limited to the Specified Representations and (y) the Events of Default and Potential Events of Default referred to in subsection 4.2B(ii) shall be limited to those under subsections 8.1, 8.6 and 8.7 and (ii) Administrative Agent shall have received customary legal opinions, board resolutions and other customary closing certificates and documentation as required by the relevant Incremental Assumption Agreement and, to the extent required by Administrative Agent, consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date under subsection 4.2.

E. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that Administrative Agent may take any and all action as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that, after giving effect to any Incremental Revolving Loan Commitment pursuant to this subsection 2.9, the outstanding Revolving Loans (if any) are held by the Lenders in accordance with their new Pro Rata Shares. This may be accomplished at the discretion of Administrative Agent, following consultation with Company, (i) by requiring the outstanding Revolving Loans to be prepaid with the proceeds of new Revolving Loans, (ii) by causing non-increasing Lenders to assign portions of their outstanding Revolving Loans to new or increasing Lenders or (iii) by a combination of the foregoing. Any prepayment or assignment described in this paragraph (E) shall be subject to subsection 2.6D, but shall otherwise be without premium or penalty.

2.10 Extensions of Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, after the first anniversary of the Closing Date and at least 45 days prior to the scheduled Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date then in effect, Company may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request that the scheduled Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date then in effect be extended for a twelve-month period, effective as of a date selected by Company (the “Extension Effective Date”); provided that the Extension Effective Date shall be at least 45 days, but not more than 60 days, after the date such extension request is received by the Administrative Agent (the “Extension Request Date”). Upon receipt of the extension request, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof. If a Revolving Lender agrees, in its individual and sole discretion, to so extend its Revolving Loan Commitment, as applicable (an “Extending Lender”), it shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a written notice of its agreement to do so no later than 15 days after the Extension Request Date (or such later date to which Company and the Administrative Agent shall agree), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify Company of such Extending Lender’s agreement to extend its Revolving Loan Commitment (and such agreement shall be irrevocable until the Extension Effective Date). The Revolving Loan Commitment of any Revolving Lender that fails to accept or respond to Company’s request for extension of the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date (a “Declining Lender”) shall be terminated on the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date then in effect for such Revolving Lender (without regard to any extension by other Revolving Lenders) and on such Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date Company shall pay in full the unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans owing to such Declining Lender, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all fees accrued and unpaid under this Agreement to the date of such payment of principal and all other amounts due to such Declining Lender under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Extending Lender of the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitments of the Declining Lenders. Each Extending Lender may offer to increase its respective Revolving Loan Commitment by an amount not to exceed the aggregate amount of the Declining Lenders’ Revolving Loan Commitments, and such Extending Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a notice of its offer to so increase its Revolving Loan Commitment no later than 30 days after the Extension Request Date (or such later date to which Company and the Administrative Agent shall agree), and such offer shall be irrevocable until the Extension Effective Date. To the extent the aggregate amount of additional Revolving Loan Commitments that the Extending Lenders offer pursuant to the preceding sentence exceeds the aggregate amount of the Declining Lenders’ Revolving Loan Commitments, such additional Revolving Loan Commitments shall be

reduced on a pro rata basis. To the extent the aggregate amount of Revolving Loan Commitments that the Extending Lenders have so offered to extend is less than the aggregate amount of Revolving Loan Commitments that Company has so requested to be extended, Company shall have the right but not the obligation to require any Declining Lender to (and any such Declining Lender shall) assign in full its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more banks or other financial institutions (which may be, but need not be, one or more of the Extending Lenders) which at the time agree to, in the case of any such Person that is an Extending Lender, increase its Revolving Loan Commitment and in the case of any other such Person (a “New Lender”) become a party to this Agreement; provided that (i) such assignment is otherwise in compliance with subsection 10.16, (ii) such Declining Lender receives payment in full of the unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans owing to such Declining Lender, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all fees accrued and unpaid under this Agreement to the date of such payment of principal and all other amounts due to such Declining Lender under this Agreement and (iii) any such assignment shall be effective on the date on or before such Extension Effective Date as may be specified by Company and agreed to by the respective New Lenders and Extending Lenders, as the case may be, and the Administrative Agent. If, but only if, Extending Lenders and New Lenders, as the case may be, have agreed to provide Revolving Loan Commitments in an aggregate amount greater than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loan Commitments outstanding immediately prior to such Extension Effective Date and the conditions precedent in subsection 4.2B are met as of the Extension Effective Date (as if such date were a Funding Date), the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date in effect with respect to such Extending Lenders and New Lenders shall be extended by twelve months.

2.11 Excluded Swap Obligations. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no guarantee by any Subsidiary Guarantor under any Loan Document shall include a guarantee of any Excluded Swap Obligation. In the event that any payment is made by, or any collection is realized from, any Loan Party for which there are Excluded Swap Obligations, the proceeds thereof shall be applied to pay the Obligations of such Loan Party on a ratable basis determined without giving effect to such Excluded Swap Obligations and each reference in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the ratable application of such amounts as among the Obligations or any specified portion of the Obligations that would otherwise include such Excluded Swap Obligations shall be deemed so to provide.

Section 3.

LETTERS OF CREDIT

3.1 Issuance of Letters of Credit and Lenders’ Purchase of Participations Therein

A. Letters of Credit. In addition to Company requesting that Revolving Lenders make Revolving Loans pursuant to subsection 2.1A(iv), Company may request, in accordance with the provisions of this subsection 3.1, from time to time during the period from the Closing Date to but excluding the date that is 30 days prior to the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, that one or more Revolving Lenders issue Letters of Credit for

the account of Company. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of Company herein set forth, any one or more Revolving Lenders may, but (except as provided in subsection 3.1B(ii)) shall not be obligated to, issue such Letters of Credit in accordance with the provisions of this subsection 3.1; provided that such Letters of Credit shall be issued on a sight basis only and Company shall not request that any Revolving Lender issue (and no Revolving Lender shall issue):

(i) any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, the Total Utilization of Revolving Loan Commitments would exceed the Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect;

(ii) any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (i) the aggregate Letter of Credit Usage would exceed $250,000,000, (ii) the Letter of Credit Usage with respect to Credit Suisse would exceed $150,000,000 or (iii) the Letter of Credit Usage with respect to Citibank N.A. would exceed $100,000,000;

(iii) any Letter of Credit denominated in a currency other than Dollars; or

(iv) any Letter of Credit having an expiration date later than the earlier of (a) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date and (b) the date which is one year from the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit;

provided that the immediately preceding clause (b) shall not prevent any Issuing Lender from agreeing that a Letter of Credit will automatically be extended for one or more successive periods not to exceed one year each unless such Issuing Lender elects not to extend for any such additional period; and provided, further, that such Issuing Lender shall elect not to extend such Letter of Credit if it has knowledge that an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and has not been waived in accordance with subsection 10.6) at the time such Issuing Lender must elect whether or not to allow such extension.

B. Mechanics of Issuance.

(i) Notice of Issuance. Whenever Company desires the issuance of a Letter of Credit, it shall deliver to the proposed Issuing Lender and Administrative Agent a Notice of Request to Issue Letter of Credit in the form of Exhibit III annexed hereto no later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) at least three Business Days or in each case such shorter period as may be agreed to by the proposed Issuing Lender in any particular instance, in advance of the proposed date of issuance. The Notice of Request to Issue Letter of Credit shall specify (a) the proposed date of issuance

(which shall be a Business Day), (b) the face amount of the Letter of Credit, (c) the expiration date of the Letter of Credit, (d) the name and address of the beneficiary and (e) either the verbatim text of the proposed Letter of Credit or the proposed terms and conditions thereof, including a precise description of any documents to be presented by the beneficiary which, if presented by the beneficiary prior to the expiration date of the Letter of Credit, would require the Issuing Lender to make payment under the Letter of Credit; provided that the Issuing Lender, in its reasonable discretion, may require changes in the text of the proposed Letter of Credit or any such documents.

Company shall notify the applicable Issuing Lender (and Administrative Agent, if Administrative Agent is not such Issuing Lender) prior to the issuance of any Letter of Credit in the event that any of the matters to which Company is required to certify in the applicable Notice of Request to Issue Letter of Credit is no longer true and correct as of the proposed date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, and upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit Company shall be deemed to have re-certified, as of the date of such issuance, as to the matters to which Company is required to certify in the applicable Notice of Request to Issue Letter of Credit.

All Letters of Credit (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) issued by a Person that is a Revolving Lender hereunder and outstanding on the Closing Date (each, an “Existing Letter of Credit”) shall be deemed issued under and pursuant to this subsection 3.1B(i) as of the Closing Date and shall be treated as Letters of Credit for all purposes under this Agreement from and after such date.

(ii) Determination of Issuing Lender. Upon receipt by a proposed Issuing Lender and Administrative Agent of a Notice of Request to Issue Letter of Credit pursuant to subsection 3.1B(i) requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, any Revolving Lender so requested to issue such Letter of Credit shall promptly notify Company and Administrative Agent whether or not, in its sole discretion, it has elected to issue such Letter of Credit, and any such Revolving Lender which so elects to issue such Letter of Credit shall be the Issuing Lender with respect thereto. In the event that the proposed Issuing Lender selected by Company with respect to any Letter of Credit shall have declined to issue such Letter of Credit, Credit Suisse, in its capacity as Issuing Lender, shall be obligated to issue such Letter of Credit and shall be the Issuing Lender with respect thereto; provided that Credit Suisse, in its capacity as Issuing Lender, shall only be obligated to issue standby Letters of Credit and notwithstanding the fact that the Letter of Credit Usage with respect to such Letter of Credit and with respect to all other Letters of Credit issued by Credit Suisse, when aggregated with Credit Suisse’s outstanding Revolving Loans, may exceed Credit Suisse’s Revolving Loan Commitment then in effect, but not in excess of the amount set forth in subsection 3.1A(ii). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3 or elsewhere in this Agreement, in the event that a Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, Credit Suisse, in its capacity as Issuing Lender, shall not be required to issue any Letter of Credit unless Credit Suisse has entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it and Company to eliminate its risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit by all such Defaulting Lenders, including by requiring Company to cash collateralize each such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each Letter of Credit issued by Credit Suisse.

(iii) Issuance of Letter of Credit. Upon satisfaction or waiver (in accordance with subsection 10.6) of the conditions set forth in subsection 4.3, the Issuing Lender shall issue the requested Letter of Credit in accordance with the Issuing Lender’s standard operating procedures.

(iv) Notification to Revolving Lenders. Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit the applicable Issuing Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent and each other Revolving Lender of such issuance, which notice shall be accompanied by the details of such Letter of Credit. Promptly after receipt of such notice (or, if Administrative Agent is the Issuing Lender, together with such notice), Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the amount of such Revolving Lender’s respective participation in such Letter of Credit, determined in accordance with subsection 3.1C.

(v) Reports to Revolving Lenders. Within 5 days after the end of each calendar quarter ending after the Closing Date, so long as any Letter of Credit shall have been outstanding during such calendar quarter, each Issuing Lender shall deliver to Administrative Agent a report setting forth for such calendar quarter the daily aggregate amount available to be drawn under the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender that were outstanding during such calendar quarter.

C. Revolving Lenders’ Purchase of Participations in Letters of Credit. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby agrees to, have irrevocably purchased from the Issuing Lender a participation in such Letter of Credit and any drawings honored thereunder in an amount equal to such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the maximum amount which is or at any time may become available to be drawn thereunder.

3.2 Letter of Credit Fees

Company agrees to pay the following amounts with respect to Letters of Credit issued hereunder:

(i) with respect to each Letter of Credit, (a) a fronting fee, payable directly to the applicable Issuing Lender for its own account, in a percentage per annum to be agreed upon with the applicable Issuing Lender (or, in the case of an Existing Letter of Credit, the percentage per annum previously agreed upon with respect thereto under the Existing Credit Agreement, unless otherwise agreed by Company and

the applicable Issuing Lender) of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and (b) a letter of credit fee, payable to Administrative Agent for the account of Revolving Lenders (other than Defaulting Lenders), equal to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Margin for Revolving Loans per annum of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, each such fronting fee and letter of credit fee to be payable in arrears on and to (but excluding) the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and upon the termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments and computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed;

(ii) with respect to the issuance, amendment or transfer of each Letter of Credit and each payment of a drawing made thereunder (without duplication of the fees payable under clauses (i)(a) and (i)(b) above), documentary and processing charges payable directly to the applicable Issuing Lender for its own account in accordance with such Issuing Lender’s standard schedule for such charges in effect at the time of such issuance, amendment, transfer or payment, as the case may be.

For purposes of calculating any fees payable under clause (i) of this subsection 3.2, the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit shall be determined as of the close of business on any date of determination. Promptly upon receipt by Administrative Agent of any amount described in clause (i)(b) of this subsection 3.2, Administrative Agent shall distribute to each Revolving Lender its Pro Rata Share of such amount.

3.3 Drawings and Reimbursement of Amounts Paid Under Letters of Credit

A. Responsibility of Issuing Lender With Respect to Drawings. In determining whether to honor any drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Lender shall be responsible only to examine the documents delivered under such Letter of Credit with reasonable care so as to ascertain whether they appear on their face to be in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit.

B. Reimbursement by Company of Amounts Paid Under Letters of Credit. In the event an Issuing Lender has determined to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit issued by it, such Issuing Lender shall immediately notify Company and Administrative Agent, and Company shall reimburse such Issuing Lender on or before the Business Day immediately following the date on which such drawing is honored (the “Reimbursement Date”) in an amount in Dollars and in same day funds equal to the amount of such honored drawing; provided that, anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) unless Company shall have notified Administrative Agent and such Issuing Lender prior to 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the Business Day following the date such drawing is honored that Company intends to reimburse such Issuing Lender for the amount of such honored drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Revolving Loans, Company shall be deemed to have given a timely Notice of Borrowing to Administrative Agent requesting Revolving Lenders to make Revolving

Loans that are Alternate Base Rate Loans on the Reimbursement Date in an amount in Dollars equal to the amount of such honored drawing and (ii) subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified in subsection 4.2B, Revolving Lenders shall, on the Reimbursement Date, make Revolving Loans that are Alternate Base Rate Loans in the amount of such honored drawing, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by Administrative Agent to reimburse such Issuing Lender for the amount of such honored drawing; and provided, further that if for any reason proceeds of Revolving Loans are not received by such Issuing Lender on the Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the amount of such honored drawing, Company shall reimburse such Issuing Lender, on demand, in an amount in same day funds equal to the excess of the amount of such honored drawing over the aggregate amount of such Revolving Loans, if any, which are so received. Nothing in this subsection 3.3B shall be deemed to relieve any Revolving Lender from its obligation to make Revolving Loans on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and Company shall retain any and all rights it may have against any Revolving Lender resulting from the failure of such Revolving Lender to make such Revolving Loans under this subsection 3.3B.

C. Payment by Revolving Lenders of Unreimbursed Amounts Paid Under Letters of Credit.

(i) Payment by Revolving Lenders. In the event that Company shall fail for any reason to reimburse any Issuing Lender as provided in subsection 3.3B in an amount equal to the amount of any drawing honored by such Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it, such Issuing Lender shall promptly notify Administrative Agent, who shall notify each other Revolving Lender of the unreimbursed amount of such honored drawing and of such other Revolving Lender’s respective participation therein based on such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share. Each Revolving Lender shall make available to such Issuing Lender an amount equal to its respective participation, in Dollars and in same day funds, at the office of such Issuing Lender specified in such notice, not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the first business day (under the laws of the jurisdiction in which such office of such Issuing Lender is located) after the date notified by such Issuing Lender. In the event that any Revolving Lender fails to make available to such Issuing Lender on such business day the amount of such Revolving Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit as provided in this subsection 3.3C, such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender together with interest thereon at the rate customarily used by such Issuing Lender for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Alternate Base Rate. Nothing in this subsection 3.3C shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any Revolving Lender to recover from any Issuing Lender any amounts made available by such Revolving Lender to such Issuing Lender pursuant to this subsection 3.3C in the event that it is determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that the payment with respect to a Letter of Credit by such Issuing Lender in respect of which payment was made by such Revolving Lender constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing Lender.

(ii) Distribution to Revolving Lenders of Reimbursements Received From Company. In the event any Issuing Lender shall have been reimbursed by other Revolving Lenders pursuant to subsection 3.3C(i) for all or any portion of any drawing honored by such Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit issued by it, such Issuing Lender shall distribute to Administrative Agent, who shall distribute to each other Revolving Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under subsection 3.3C(i) with respect to such honored drawing such other Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments subsequently received by such Issuing Lender from Company in reimbursement of such honored drawing when such payments are received. Any such distribution shall be made to a Revolving Lender at its primary address set forth below its name on the appropriate signature page hereof or at such other address as such Revolving Lender may request.

D. Interest on Amounts Paid Under Letters of Credit.

(i) Payment of Interest by Company. Company agrees to pay to each Issuing Lender, with respect to drawings honored under any Letters of Credit issued by it, interest on the amount paid by such Issuing Lender in respect of each such honored drawing from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date such amount is reimbursed by Company (including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of Revolving Loans pursuant to subsection 3.3B) at a rate equal to (a) for the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the Reimbursement Date, the rate then in effect under this Agreement with respect to Revolving Loans that are Alternate Base Rate Loans and (b) thereafter, a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the rate of interest otherwise payable under this Agreement with respect to Revolving Loans that are Alternate Base Rate Loans. Interest payable pursuant to this subsection 3.3D(i) shall be computed on the basis of a 365 or 366 day year for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand is made, on the date on which the related drawing under a Letter of Credit is reimbursed in full.

(ii) Distribution of Interest Payments by Issuing Lender. Promptly upon receipt by any Issuing Lender of any payment of interest pursuant to subsection 3.3D(i) with respect to a drawing honored under a Letter of Credit issued by it, (a) such Issuing Lender shall distribute to Administrative Agent, who shall distribute each other Revolving Lender, out of the interest received by such Issuing Lender in respect of the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date on which such Issuing Lender is reimbursed for the amount of such drawing (including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of Revolving Loans pursuant to subsection 3.3B), the amount that such other Revolving Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the letter of credit fee that would have been payable in respect of such Letter of Credit for such period pursuant to subsection 3.2 if no drawing had been honored under such Letter of Credit and (b) in the event such Issuing Lender shall have been reimbursed by other Revolving Lenders pursuant to subsection 3.3C(i) for all or any portion of such

honored drawing, such Issuing Lender shall distribute to Administrative Agent, who shall distribute to each other Revolving Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under subsection 3.3C(i) with respect to such honored drawing such other Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any interest received by such Issuing Lender in respect of that portion of such honored drawing so reimbursed by other Revolving Lenders for the period from the date on which such Issuing Lender was so reimbursed by other Revolving Lenders to but excluding the date on which such portion of such honored drawing is reimbursed by Company. Any such distribution shall be made to a Revolving Lender at its primary address set forth below its name on the appropriate signature page hereof or at such other address as such Revolving Lender may request.

3.4 Obligations Absolute

The obligation of Company to reimburse each Issuing Lender for drawings honored under the Letters of Credit issued by it and to repay any Revolving Loans made by Revolving Lenders pursuant to subsection 3.3B and the obligations of Revolving Lenders under subsection 3.3C(i) shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances including any of the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;

(ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which Company or any Revolving Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), any Issuing Lender or other Revolving Lender or any other Person or, in the case of a Revolving Lender, against Company, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between Company or one of its Subsidiaries and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured);

(iii) any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(vi) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party thereto;

(vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; or

(viii) the fact that an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

provided, in each case, that payment by the applicable Issuing Lender under the applicable Letter of Credit shall not preclude a claim by Company against, and Company shall have a claim against, the applicable Issuing Lender if any payment constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender under the circumstances in question (as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).

3.5 Indemnification; Nature of Issuing Lenders’ Duties

A. Indemnification. In addition to amounts payable as provided in subsection 3.6, Company hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless each Issuing Lender from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel) which such Issuing Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit by such Issuing Lender, other than as a result of (a) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (b) subject to the following clause (ii), the wrongful dishonor by such Issuing Lender of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit issued by it or (ii) the failure of such Issuing Lender to honor a drawing under any such Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or Governmental Authority (all such acts or omissions herein called “Governmental Acts”). Each Revolving Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, severally agrees to indemnify the Issuing Lender to the extent not reimbursed by Company in accordance with this Section 3.5A.

B. Nature of Issuing Lenders’ Duties. As between Company and any Issuing Lender, Company assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, such Issuing Lender shall not be responsible

for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Lender, including any Governmental Acts, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of such Issuing Lender’s rights or powers hereunder.

In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth in the first paragraph of this subsection 3.5B, any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Lender under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put such Issuing Lender under any resulting liability to Company, except for liability arising solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

3.6 Increased Costs and Taxes Relating to Letters of Credit

Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.7B (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Issuing Lender or Revolving Lender shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof (including the introduction of any new law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order), or any determination of a Governmental Authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date hereof (and, for purposes of this Agreement, (x) the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, guidelines or directives in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, are deemed to have gone into effect and adopted after the date hereof), or compliance by any Issuing Lender or Revolving Lender with any guideline, request or directive issued or made after the date hereof by any Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law):

(i) subjects such Issuing Lender or Revolving Lender (or its applicable lending or letter of credit office) to any additional Tax (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and (C) Connection Income Taxes) with respect to the issuing or maintaining of any Letters of Credit or the purchasing or maintaining of any participations therein or any other obligations under this Section 3, whether directly or by such being imposed on or suffered by any particular Issuing Lender;

(ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement in respect of any Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Lender or participations therein purchased by any Revolving Lender; or

(iii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or affecting such Issuing Lender or Revolving Lender (or its applicable lending or letter of credit office) regarding this Section 3 or any Letter of Credit or any participation therein; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Issuing Lender or Revolving Lender of agreeing to issue, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or agreeing to purchase, purchasing or maintaining any participation therein or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Issuing Lender or Revolving Lender (or its applicable lending or letter of credit office) with respect thereto; then, in any case, Company shall promptly pay to such Issuing Lender or Revolving Lender, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts as may be necessary to compensate such Issuing Lender or Revolving Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder; provided that Company shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this subsection for any increased cost or reduction incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Company of such change giving rise to such increased cost or reduction and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if such change giving rise to such increased cost or reduction is retroactive, then the 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. Such Issuing Lender or Revolving Lender shall deliver to Company (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Issuing Lender or Revolving Lender under this subsection 3.6, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

rights and remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto. Administrative Agent shall have only those duties and responsibilities that are expressly specified in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Administrative Agent may exercise such powers, rights and remedies and perform such duties by or through its agents or employees. Administrative Agent shall not have, by reason of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

B. No Responsibility for Certain Matters. Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by Administrative Agent to Lenders or by or on behalf of Company to Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of Company or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations, nor shall Administrative Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Loan Documents or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or the use of the Letters of Credit or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Potential Event of Default.

Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to Lenders for any action taken or omitted by it under or in connection with any of the Loan Documents except to the extent caused by Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until Administrative Agent shall have received instructions in respect thereof from Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under subsection 10.6) and, upon receipt of such instructions from Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the case may be), Administrative Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such instructions. Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have no knowledge of any Potential Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to Administrative Agent by Company or any Lender.

D. Administrative Agent Entitled to Act as Lender. The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder.

Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter, and Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to Lenders.

9.4 Right to Indemnity

Each Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, severally agrees to indemnify Administrative Agent, to the extent that Administrative Agent shall not have been reimbursed by Company, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties

hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or otherwise in its capacity as Administrative Agent, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any indemnity furnished to an Administrative Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Administrative Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished.

9.5 Successor Agent. Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to Lenders and Company. Upon any such notice of resignation, Requisite Lenders shall have the right, with, so long as no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the consent of Company (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the resigning Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the resigning Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence by the 30th day after the date such notice of resignation was given by such Administrative Agent, such Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective and the Requisite Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of such Administrative Agent hereunder and/or under any other Loan Document until such time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

9.6 Guarantees

Each Lender hereby further authorizes Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the benefit of Lenders, to be the agent for and representative of Lenders under the Subsidiary Guaranty, and each Lender agrees to be bound by the terms of the Subsidiary Guaranty; provided that Administrative Agent shall not enter into or consent to any amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision contained in the Subsidiary Guaranty; provided further, however, that, without further written consent or authorization from Lenders, Administrative Agent may execute any documents or instruments necessary to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from the Subsidiary Guaranty if all of the capital stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor is sold to any Person pursuant to a sale or other disposition permitted hereunder or to which Requisite

Lenders have otherwise consented. Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Company, Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agree that no Lender shall have any right individually to enforce the Subsidiary Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all rights and remedies under the Subsidiary Guaranty may be exercised solely by Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders in accordance with the terms thereof.

Except as otherwise provided in this subsection 10.1, no Lender shall, as between Company and such Lender, be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any sale, assignment or transfer of, or any granting of participations in, all or any part of its Commitments or the Loans, the Letters of Credit or participations therein or the other Obligations owed to such Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation to any Participant shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Company, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal and interest amounts of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (a “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Participant whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary; provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to Company or any other Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest under the Loan Documents) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents are in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.

B. Assignments.

If Company has not responded within ten Business Days to any request for an assignment, Company shall be deemed to have consented to such assignment. To the extent of any such assignment in accordance with the above, the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations with respect to its Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or participations therein or other obligations or the portion thereof so assigned. The parties to each such assignment shall (i) electronically execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement via an electronic settlement system acceptable to Administrative Agent (which initially shall be ClearPar, LLC) or (ii) manually execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement, in each case, together with a (x) processing and recordation fee of US$3,500 (which may be reduced or waived in the sole discretion of Administrative Agent), (y) an Administrative Questionnaire, substantially in the form of Exhibit VIII annexed hereto, if the Eligible Assignee shall not already be a Lender hereunder and (z) such forms, certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as the assignee under such Assignment Agreement may be required to deliver to Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection 2.7B(iii)(a).

Letters of Credit until the cancellation or expiration of such Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder). The Commitments hereunder shall be modified to reflect the Commitment of such assignee and any remaining Commitment of such assigning Lender and, if any such assignment occurs after the issuance of the Notes hereunder, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its applicable Notes to Administrative Agent for cancellation, and thereupon new Notes shall be issued to the assignee and/or to the assigning Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit IV-A, Exhibit IV-B or Exhibit IV-C annexed hereto, as the case may be, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the new Commitments and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be, of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender.

The Register shall be available for inspection by Company and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Administrative Agent shall maintain a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to and accepted by it as provided in this subsection 10.1B(ii).

C. Participations. Each Participant, other than any Participant that is an Affiliate of the Lender granting such participation, shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except action directly affecting (i) the extension of the scheduled final maturity date or the date of any scheduled installment of principal of any Loan or Commitment allocated to such participation, (ii) a reduction of the principal amount of, the rate of interest payable or the fees payable on any Loan or Commitment allocated to such participation or (iii) a release of all or substantially all the value of the Subsidiary Guaranty, in each case other than in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, and all amounts payable by Company hereunder (including amounts payable to such Lender pursuant to subsections 2.6D, 2.7 and 3.6) shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation. Company and each Lender hereby acknowledge and agree that, solely for purposes of subsections 10.4 and 10.5, (a) any participation will give rise to a direct obligation of Company to the Participant and (b) the Participant shall be considered to be a “Lender”.

D. Pledges of Obligations. In addition to the assignments and participations permitted under the foregoing provisions of this subsection 10.1, any Lender may assign and pledge all or any portion of its Loans, the other Obligations owed to such Lender, and its Notes to secure obligations of such Lender including without limitation any assignment or pledge to a Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; provided that (i) no Lender shall, as between Company and such Lender, be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge and (ii) in no event shall such Federal Reserve Bank be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder.

E. Assignments to Special Purpose Funding Vehicles. In addition to the assignments and participations permitted under the foregoing provisions of this subsection 10.1, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPV”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to Administrative Agent and Company, the option to provide to Company all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make Company pursuant to this Agreement; provided, (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPV, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subsection 10.1E(i), any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, Company and Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loan to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by Company and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit liquidity enhancement to such SPV. After the date of a grant to any SPV, this section may not be amended without the written consent of such SPV.

F. Information. Each Lender may furnish any information concerning Company and its Subsidiaries in the possession of that Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignee and participants), subject to subsection 10.19.

101

G. Representations of Lenders. Each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof hereby represents and warrants (i) that it is an Eligible Assignee described in clause (A) of the definition thereof; (ii) that it has experience and expertise in the making of or investing in loans such as the Loans; and (iii) that it will make or invest in its Loans for its own account in the ordinary course of its business and without a view to distribution of such Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this subsection 10.1, the disposition of such Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control). Each Lender that becomes a party hereto pursuant to an Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to agree that the representations and warranties of such Lender contained in Section 2(c) of such Assignment Agreement are incorporated herein by this reference.

10.2 Expenses

10.3 Indemnity

In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to subsection 10.2, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, Company agrees to defend (subject to Indemnitees’ selection of counsel), indemnify, pay and hold harmless Agents and Lenders, and the officers, directors, employees, trustee, agents and affiliates of Agents and Lenders (collectively called the “Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Indemnified

102

Liabilities (as hereinafter defined); provided that Company shall not have any obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

As used herein, “Indemnified Liabilities” means, collectively, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages (including natural resource damages), penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims (including Environmental Claims), costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened by any Person, whether or not any such Indemnitee shall be designated as a party or a potential party thereto, and any fees or expenses incurred by Indemnitees in enforcing this indemnity), whether direct, indirect or consequential and whether based on any federal, state or foreign laws, statutes, rules or regulations (including securities and commercial laws, statutes, rules or regulations and Environmental Laws), on common law or equitable cause or on contract or otherwise, that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any such Indemnitee, in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including Lenders’ agreement to make the Loans hereunder or the use or intended use of the proceeds thereof or the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder or the use or intended use of any thereof, or any enforcement of any of the Loan Documents (including the enforcement of the Subsidiary Guaranty) or (ii) the statements contained in the commitment letter delivered by any Lender to Company with respect thereto.

To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this subsection 10.3 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, Company shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them.

10.4 Set-Off

In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default each Lender is hereby authorized by Company at any time or from time to time, without notice to Company or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by that Lender to or for the credit or the account of Company against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of Company to that Lender under this Agreement, the Letters of Credit and participations therein and the other Loan Documents, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected with this Agreement, the Letters of Credit and participations therein or any other Loan Document, provided that said obligations and liabilities shall then be due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

103

10.5 Ratable Sharing

Lenders hereby agree among themselves that if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), by realization upon security, through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, amounts payable in respect of Letters of Credit, fees and other amounts owing to that Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Owing” to such Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Owing to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (i) notify Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (ii) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Owing to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Owing shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Owing to them; provided that if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of Company or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Company expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, set-off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by Company to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder.

10.6 Amendments and Waivers

In addition, (i) no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of any Note shall be effective without the written concurrence of the Lender which is the holder of that Note, (ii) no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any Letter of Credit and no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of Section 3 that changes in any manner the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender with respect to an outstanding Letter of Credit shall be effective without the written concurrence of the Issuing Lender of such Letter of Credit and, with respect to any reduction of the amount or postponement of the due date of any amount payable in respect of any Letter of Credit, 100% of the Revolving Lenders, (iii) no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of Section 9 or of any other provision of this Agreement which, by its terms, expressly requires the approval or concurrence of Administrative Agent shall be effective without the written concurrence of Administrative Agent and (iv) any amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement that adversely affects the rights of Lenders holding Loans of any Class differently than those holding Loans of any other Class shall not be effective without the written consent of Lenders holding a majority in interest of the outstanding Loans and unused Commitments of each affected Class. Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of that Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on Company in any case shall entitle Company to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this subsection 10.6 shall be binding upon each Lender at the time outstanding, each future Lender and, if signed by Company, on Company.

105

B. Replacement of Lender. If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination to any of the provisions of this Agreement that requires the consent of each Lender or each Lender affected thereby, the consent of the Requisite Lenders is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then Administrative Agent shall have the right with the consent of Company, so long as all non-consenting Lenders whose individual consent is required are treated as described in either clause (A) or (B) below, to either (A) replace each such non-consenting Lender or Lenders with one or more Replacement Lenders pursuant to subsection 2.8 so long as at the time of such replacement each outstanding Loan of each such Lender being replaced is repaid in full (including accrued and unpaid interest or any fees or other amounts then due and payable) and so long as each such Replacement Lender consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination or (B) terminate such non-consenting Lender’s Commitments and/or repay in full each outstanding Loan of such Lender, provided that, unless the Commitments that are terminated, and Loans repaid, pursuant to preceding clause (B) are immediately replaced in full at such time through the addition of new Lenders or the increase of the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of existing Lenders (who in each case must specifically consent thereto), then in the case of any action pursuant to preceding clause (B) the Requisite Lenders (determined after giving effect to the proposed action) shall specifically consent thereto; provided, further, that Company shall not have the right to terminate such non-consenting Lender’s Commitments and repay in full its outstanding Loans pursuant to clause (B) if, immediately after the termination of such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment, the Revolving Loan Exposure of all Lenders would exceed the Revolving Loan Commitments of all Lenders; and provided, further, that in any event Administrative Agent shall not have the right to replace a Lender, terminate its Commitments or repay its Loans solely as a result of the exercise of such Lender’s rights (and the withholding of any required consent by such Lender) to refuse to increase its Commitment over the amount then in effect pursuant to the second proviso contained in the first sentence of subsection 10.6A.

10.7 Independence of Covenants

All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

10.8 Notices

Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and may be personally served or sent by telefacsimile or United States mail or courier service and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person or by courier service, upon receipt of telefacsimile, or three Business Days after depositing it in the United States mail with postage prepaid and properly addressed; provided that notices to Agents shall not be effective until received; provided further, that

10.10 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative

No failure or delay on the part of Administrative Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

107

10.11 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside

Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Company or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that Company makes a payment or payments to Administrative Agent or Lenders (or to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders), or Administrative Agent or Lenders enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of set-off, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or set-off or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

10.12 Severability

In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement or the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

10.13 Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights

The obligations of Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitments of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

10.14 Headings

Section and subsection headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

IN CONSIDERATION of the agreements, provisions and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Assignment and Assumption.

(a) Effective upon the Settlement Date specified in Item 4 of the Schedule of Terms (the “Settlement Date”), Assignor hereby sells and assigns to Assignee, without recourse, representation or warranty (except as expressly set forth herein), and Assignee hereby purchases and assumes from Assignor, that percentage interest in all of Assignor’s rights and obligations as a Lender arising under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Assignor’s Commitments, if any, and outstanding Loans, if any, which represents, as of the Settlement Date, the percentage interest specified in Item 3 of the Schedule of Terms of all rights and obligations of Lenders arising under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to the Commitments, if any, and any outstanding Loans (the “Assigned Share”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties hereto hereby expressly acknowledge and agree that any assignment of all or any portion of Assignor’s rights and obligations relating to Assignor’s Revolving Loan Commitment shall include (i) in the event Assignor is an Issuing Lender with respect to any outstanding Letters of Credit (any such Letters of Credit being “Assignor Letters of Credit”), the sale to Assignee of a participation in the Assignor Letters of Credit and any drawings thereunder as contemplated by subsection 3.1C of the Credit Agreement and (ii) the sale to Assignee of a ratable portion of any participations previously purchased by Assignor pursuant to said subsection 3.1C with respect to any Letters of Credit other than Assignor Letters of Credit.

(b) In consideration of the assignment described above, Assignee hereby agrees to pay to Assignor, on the Settlement Date, the principal amount of any outstanding Loans included within the Assigned Share, such payment to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the applicable payment instructions set forth in Item 5 of the Schedule of Terms.

(c) Assignor hereby represents and warrants that Item 3 of the Schedule of Terms correctly sets forth the amount of the Commitments, if any, the outstanding Loans, if any, and the Pro Rata Share corresponding to the Assigned Share.

(d) Assignor and Assignee hereby agree that, upon giving effect to the assignment and assumption described above, (i) Assignee shall be a party to the Credit Agreement and shall have all of the rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, and shall be deemed to have made all of the covenants and agreements contained in the Loan Documents, arising out of or otherwise related to the Assigned Share, and (ii) Assignor shall be absolutely released from any of such obligations, covenants and agreements assumed or made by Assignee in respect of the Assigned Share. Assignee hereby acknowledges and agrees that the agreement set forth in this Section 1(d) is expressly made for the benefit of Company, Administrative Agent, Assignor and the other Lenders and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

(e) Assignor and Assignee hereby acknowledge and confirm their understanding and intent that (i) this Agreement shall effect the assignment by Assignor and the assumption by Assignee of Assignor’s rights and obligations with respect to the Assigned Share, (ii) any other assignments by Assignor of a portion of its rights

VII-1

and obligations with respect to the Commitments and any outstanding Loans shall have no effect on the Commitments, the outstanding Loans and the Pro Rata Share corresponding to the Assigned Share as set forth in Item 3 of the Schedule of Terms and (iii) from and after the Settlement Date, Administrative Agent shall make all payments under the Credit Agreement in respect of the Assigned Share (including all payments of principal and accrued but unpaid interest, any facility fees and letter of credit fees with respect thereto) (A) in the case of any such interest and fees that shall have accrued prior to the Settlement Date, to Assignor, and (B) in all other cases, to Assignee; provided that Assignor and Assignee shall make payments directly to each other to the extent necessary to effect any appropriate adjustments in any amounts distributed to Assignor and/or Assignee by Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents in respect of the Assigned Share in the event that, for any reason whatsoever, the payment of consideration contemplated by Section 1(b) occurs on a date other than the Settlement Date.

SECTION 2. Certain Representations, Warranties and Agreements.

(a) Assignor represents and warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the Assigned Share, free and clear of any adverse claim.

(b) Assignor shall not be responsible to Assignee for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility or sufficiency of any of the Loan Documents or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by Assignor to Assignee or by or on behalf of Company or any of its Subsidiaries to Assignor or Assignee in connection with the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of Company or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations, nor shall Assignor be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Loan Documents or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or the use of the Letters of Credit or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Potential Event of Default.

(c) Assignee represents and warrants that it is an Eligible Assignee; that it has experience and expertise in the making of loans such as the Loans; that it has acquired the Assigned Share for its own account in the ordinary course of its business and without a view to distribution of the Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of subsection 10.1 of the Credit Agreement, the disposition of the Assigned Share or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control); that it has received, reviewed and approved a copy of the Credit Agreement (including all Exhibits and Schedules thereto); and, if Assignee is an Affiliate (or an Approved Fund) of Assignor, that the assignment and assumption described above will not result in increased costs to Company, provided that if such assignment and assumption would result in increased costs to Company, Assignee agrees that Company’s consent to such assignment and assumption may be conditioned on Assignee agreeing not to require reimbursement from Company of such increased costs.

(e) Each party to this Agreement represents and warrants to the other party hereto that it has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder in accordance with the provisions hereof, that this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such party and that this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such party, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity.

VII-2

SECTION 3. Miscellaneous.

(a) Each of Assignor and Assignee hereby agrees from time to time, upon request of the other such party hereto, to take such additional actions and to execute and deliver such additional documents and instruments as such other party may reasonably request to effect the transactions contemplated by, and to carry out the intent of, this Agreement.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated, except by an instrument in writing signed by the party (including, if applicable, any party required to evidence its consent to or acceptance of this Agreement) against whom enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.

(c) Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and may be personally served or sent by telefacsimile or United States mail or courier service and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person or by courier service, upon receipt of telefacsimile, or three Business Days after depositing it in the United States mail with postage prepaid and properly addressed.

(g) This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document.

(a) References to “Sections” and “subsections” shall be to Sections and subsections, respectively, of this Guaranty unless otherwise specifically provided.

(b) In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms, conditions and provisions of this Guaranty and the terms, conditions and provisions of the Credit Agreement, the terms, conditions and provisions of this Guaranty shall prevail.

SECTION 2. THE GUARANTY

2.1 Guaranty of the Guarantied Obligations. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.2(a), Guarantors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guaranty, as primary obligors and not merely as sureties, the due and punctual payment in full of all Guarantied Obligations when the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)). The term “Guarantied Obligations” is used herein in its most comprehensive sense and includes:

(a) any and all Obligations of Company, in each case now or hereafter made, incurred or created, whether absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, whether due or not due, and however arising under or in connection with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including those arising under successive borrowing transactions under the Credit Agreement which shall either continue the Obligations of Company or from time to time renew them after they have been satisfied and including interest which, but for the filing of a petition in bankruptcy with respect to Company, would have accrued on any Guarantied Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against Company for such interest in the related bankruptcy proceeding; and

X-2

(b) those expenses set forth in subsection 2.8.

2.2 Limitation on Amount Guarantied; Contribution by Guarantors. (a) Anything contained in this Guaranty to the contrary notwithstanding, if any Fraudulent Transfer Law (as hereinafter defined) is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be applicable to the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty, such obligations of such Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any applicable provisions of comparable state law (collectively, the “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”), in each case after giving effect to all other liabilities of such Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of such Guarantor (x) in respect of intercompany indebtedness to Company or other affiliates of Company to the extent that such indebtedness would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such Guarantor hereunder and (y) under any guaranty of Indebtedness of Company or its Subsidiaries subordinated or junior in right of payment to the Guarantied Obligations which guaranty contains a limitation as to maximum amount similar to that set forth in this subsection 2.2(a), pursuant to which the liability of such Guarantor hereunder is included in the liabilities taken into account in determining such maximum amount) and after giving effect as assets to the value (as determined under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution of such Guarantor pursuant to applicable law or pursuant to the terms of any agreement (including any such right of contribution under subsection 2.2(b).

(b) Guarantors under this Guaranty together desire to allocate among themselves in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by any Guarantor under this Guaranty (a “Funding Guarantor”) that exceeds its Fair Share (as defined below) as of such date, that Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Guarantors in the amount of such other Guarantor’s Fair Share Shortfall (as defined below) as of such date, with the result that all such contributions will cause each Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments (as defined below) to equal its Fair Share as of such date. “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (i) the ratio of (x) the Adjusted Maximum Amount (as defined below) with respect to such Guarantor to (y) the aggregate of the Adjusted Maximum Amounts with respect to all Guarantors multiplied by (ii) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors under this Guaranty in respect of the obligations guarantied. “Fair Share Shortfall” means, with respect to a Guarantor as of any date of determination, the excess, if any, of the Fair Share of such Guarantor over the Aggregate Payments of such Guarantor. “Adjusted Maximum Amount” means, with respect to a Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty determined as of such date, in the case of any Guarantor, in accordance with subsection

X-3

2.2(a); provided that, solely for purposes of calculating the “Adjusted Maximum Amount” with respect to any Guarantor for purposes of this subsection 2.2(b), any assets or liabilities of such Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Guarantor. “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to a Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (i) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including in respect of this subsection 2.2(b)) minus (ii) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Guarantor from the other Guarantors as contributions under this subsection 2.2(b). The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Guarantor. The allocation among Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this subsection 2.2(b) shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Guarantor hereunder.

2.3 Payment by Guarantors; Application of Payments. Subject to the provisions of subsection 2.2(a), Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Beneficiary may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of Company to pay any of the Guarantied Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)), Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to Guarantied Party for the ratable benefit of Beneficiaries, an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guarantied Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such Guarantied Obligations (including interest which, but for the filing of a petition in bankruptcy with respect to Company, would have accrued on such Guarantied Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against Company for such interest in the related bankruptcy proceeding) and all other Guarantied Obligations then owed to Beneficiaries as aforesaid. All such payments shall be applied promptly from time to time by Guarantied Party as provided in subsection 2.4C of the Credit Agreement.

2.4 Liability of Guarantors Absolute. Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Guarantied Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

(a) This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectibility.

(b) Guarantied Party may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between Company and any Beneficiary with respect to the existence of such Event of Default.

X-4

(c) The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of Company under the Loan Documents and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the obligations of Company under the Loan Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against Company or any of such other guarantors and whether or not Company is joined in any such action or actions.

(d) Payment by any Guarantor of a portion, but not all, of the Guarantied Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge any Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guarantied Obligations which has not been paid. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Guarantied Party is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any Guarantor’s covenant to pay a portion of the Guarantied Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release such Guarantor from its covenant to pay the portion of the Guarantied Obligations that is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall not, except to the extent satisfied by such Guarantor, limit, affect, modify or abridge any other Guarantor’s liability hereunder in respect of the Guarantied Obligations.

(e) Any Beneficiary, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability of this Guaranty or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guarantied Obligations, (ii) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guarantied Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) request and accept other guaranties of the Guarantied Obligations and take and hold security for the payment of this Guaranty or the Guarantied Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guarantied Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guarantied Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any other Guarantor) with respect to the Guarantied Obligations; (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of such Beneficiary in respect of this Guaranty or the Guarantied Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Beneficiary may have against any such security, in each case as such Beneficiary in its discretion may determine consistent with the Credit Agreement and any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against Company or any security for the Guarantied Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Loan Documents.

X-5

(f) This Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full of the Guarantied Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Loan Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guarantied Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guarantied Obligations; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to events of default) of the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guarantied Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement or such Loan Document or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security; (iii) the Guarantied Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (iv) the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to the other Loan Documents or from the proceeds of any security for the Guarantied Obligations) to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guarantied Obligations, even though any Beneficiary might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guarantied Obligations; (v) any Beneficiary’s consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of Company or any of its Subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guarantied Obligations; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guarantied Obligations; (vii) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which Company may allege or assert against any Beneficiary in respect of the Guarantied Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (viii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guarantied Obligations.

2.5 Waivers by Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of Beneficiaries:

(a) any right to require any Beneficiary, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against Company, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guarantied Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from Company, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Beneficiary in favor of Company or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Beneficiary whatsoever;

X-6

(b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of Company including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guarantied Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of Company from any cause other than payment in full of the Guarantied Obligations;

(c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal;

(d) any defense based upon any Beneficiary’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guarantied Obligations, except behavior which amounts to bad faith;

(e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms of this Guaranty and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Beneficiary protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto;

(f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance of this Guaranty, notices of default under the Credit Agreement or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guarantied Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to Company and notices of any of the matters referred to in subsection 2.4 and any right to consent to any thereof; and

(g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms of this Guaranty.

2.6 Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, Etc. Each Guarantor hereby waives, until the Guarantied Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Company or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute under common law or otherwise and including (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Company, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Beneficiary now has or may hereafter have against Company, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or

X-7

hereafter held by any Beneficiary. In addition, until the Guarantied Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guarantied Obligations (including any such right of contribution under subsection 2.2(b)). Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against Company or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights any Beneficiary may have against Company, to all right, title and interest any Beneficiary may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right any Beneficiary may have against such other guarantor. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights at any time when all Guarantied Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for Guarantied Party on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Guarantied Party for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guarantied Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.

2.7 Subordination of Other Obligations. Any indebtedness of Company or any Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor (the “Obligee Guarantor”) is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Guarantied Obligations, and any such indebtedness collected or received by the Obligee Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust for Guarantied Party on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Guarantied Party for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guarantied Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of the Obligee Guarantor under any other provision of this Guaranty.

2.8 Expenses. Guarantors jointly and severally agree to pay, or cause to be paid, on demand, and to save Beneficiaries harmless against liability for, any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and reasonable allocated costs of internal counsel) incurred or expended by any Beneficiary in connection with the enforcement of or preservation of any rights under this Guaranty.

2.9 Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until all of the Guarantied Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guarantied Obligations.

2.10 Rights Cumulative. The rights, powers and remedies given to Beneficiaries by this Guaranty are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies given to Beneficiaries by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Loan Documents or any agreement between any Guarantor

X-8

and any Beneficiary or Beneficiaries or between Company and any Beneficiary or Beneficiaries. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay by any Beneficiary in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.

2.11 Bankruptcy; Post-Petition Interest; Reinstatement of Guaranty. (a) So long as any Guarantied Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of Guarantied Party acting pursuant to the instructions of Requisite Lenders, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceedings of or against Company. The obligations of Guarantors under this Guaranty shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of Company or by any defense which Company may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.

(b) Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Guarantied Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any proceeding referred to in clause (a) above (or, if interest on any portion of the Guarantied Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of said proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guarantied Obligations if said proceedings had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guarantied Obligations because it is the intention of Guarantors and Beneficiaries that the Guarantied Obligations which are guarantied by Guarantors pursuant to this Guaranty should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve Company of any portion of such Guarantied Obligations. Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar person to pay Guarantied Party, or allow the claim of Guarantied Party in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such proceeding is commenced.

(c) In the event that all or any portion of the Guarantied Obligations are paid by Company, the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from any Beneficiary as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guarantied Obligations for all purposes under this Guaranty.

2.12 Notice of Events. As soon as Guarantor obtains knowledge thereof, Guarantor shall give Guarantied Party written notice of any condition or event which has resulted in (a) a material adverse change in the financial condition of Guarantor or Company or (b) any Event of Default or Potential Event of Default.

2.13 Set Off. In addition to any other rights any Beneficiary may have under law or under this Guaranty, such Beneficiary is authorized at any time or from time

X-9

to time while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, without notice (any such notice being hereby expressly waived), to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness of such Beneficiary owing to Guarantor and any other property of Guarantor held by any Beneficiary to or for the credit or the account of Guarantor against and on account of the Guarantied Obligations and liabilities of Guarantor to any Beneficiary under this Guaranty.

2.14 Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor represents and warrants as to itself, on the date that it becomes a party hereto, on the Closing Date, on each Funding Date (other than, in the case of Funding Dates occurring after the Closing, subsections 5.4 and 5.6 of the Credit Agreement) and on the date of the issuance of each Letter of Credit (other than, in the case of Funding Dates occurring after the Closing Date, subsections 5.4 and 5.6 of the Credit Agreement) that all representations and warranties relating to it contained in the Loan Documents are true, correct and complete in all material respects, except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties were true, correct and complete in all material respects on and as of such earlier date.

2.15 Covenants. Each Guarantor covenants and agrees that such Guarantor will perform and observe, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to perform and observe, all of the terms, covenants and agreements set forth in the Loan Documents that are required to be, or that Company has agreed to cause to be, performed or observed by such Guarantor or Subsidiary.

2.16 Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Company’s and each other Loan Party’s financial condition and assets and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Guarantied Party nor any other Beneficiary will have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.

3.4 Amendments and Waivers. (a) No failure or delay by the Guarantied Party or any other Beneficiary in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver hereof or thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.

3.12 Additional Guarantors. The initial Guarantors hereunder shall be such of the Domestic Subsidiaries of Company as are signatories hereto on the date hereof. From time to time subsequent to the date hereof, additional Domestic Subsidiaries of Company may become parties hereto, as additional Guarantors (each an “Additional Guarantor”), by executing a counterpart of this Guaranty. Upon delivery of any such counterpart to Administrative Agent, notice of which is hereby waived by Guarantors, each such Additional Guarantor shall be a Guarantor and shall be as fully a party hereto as if such Additional Guarantor were an original signatory hereof.

After any retiring or removed Guarantied Party’s resignation or removal hereunder as Guarantied Party, the provisions of this Guaranty shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Guaranty while it was Guarantied Party hereunder.
