Any change in such maximum

The Applicable Margin shall be determined by the Agent under this clause (a) from time to time, based on the Leverage Ratio as set forth in the Compliance Certificate most recently delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 9.3.  Any adjustment to the Applicable Margin shall be

(b)                                 Requesting Term Loans.  The Borrower shall give the Agent notice pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or telephonic notice of the borrowing of Term Loans.  Each such Notice of Borrowing shall be delivered to the Agent before 11:00 a.m. (i) in the case of LIBOR Loans, on the date three Business Days prior to the proposed date of such borrowing and (ii) in the case of Base Rate Loans, on the date one Business Day prior to the proposed date of such borrowing.  Any such telephonic notice shall include all information to be specified in a written Notice of Borrowing and shall be promptly confirmed in writing by the Borrower pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing sent to the Agent by telecopy on the same day of the giving of such telephonic notice.  The Agent will transmit by telecopy such Notice of Borrowing (or the information contained in such Notice of Borrowing) to each Lender promptly upon receipt by the Agent and in any event prior to the close of business on the date the Agent receives such notice.  Each such Notice of Borrowing or telephonic notice of each borrowing shall be irrevocable once given and binding on the Borrower.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Term Loan shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, be fully disbursed on the Effective Date.

(c)                                  Disbursements of Term Loan Proceeds.  On the Effective Date, each Lender will make available for the account of its applicable Lending Office to the Agent at the Principal Office, in immediately available funds, the proceeds of the Term Loan to be made by such Lender.  Unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the specified date of borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Agent the Term Loan to be made by such Lender on such date, the Agent may assume that each Lender will make the proceeds of such Term Loans available to the Agent on the date of the requested borrowing as set forth in the applicable Notice of Borrowing, and the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower the amount of such Term Loan to be provided by such Lender.  Subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article VI. for such borrowing, the Agent will make the proceeds of such borrowing available to the Borrower on the Effective Date and at the account specified by Borrower.

Section 2.5.                                                        Rates and Payment of Interest on Loans.

(a)                                 Rates.  The Borrower promises to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made by such Lender for the period from and including the date of the making of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at the following per annum rates:

(i)                                     during such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate (as in effect from time to time) plus the Applicable Margin for such Loans; and

(ii)                                  during such periods as such Loan is a LIBOR Loan, at Adjusted LIBOR for such Loan for the Interest Period therefor plus the Applicable Margin for such Loans;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender interest at the Post Default Rate on the outstanding principal amount of any Loan made by such Lender and on any other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes held by such Lender to or for the account of such Lender (including without limitation, accrued but unpaid interest to the extent permitted under Applicable Law).

(b)                                 Payment of Interest.  Accrued and unpaid interest on each Loan shall be payable in the case of both Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Loans, monthly in arrears on the first day of each calendar month and upon the Termination Date or any earlier date on which Loans are due and payable in full, whether by acceleration or otherwise.  Interest payable at the Post Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand.  Promptly after the determination of any interest rate provided for herein or any change therein, the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders to which such interest is payable and to the Borrower.  All determinations by the Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on the Lenders and the Borrower for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c)                                  Investment Grade Rating Notice.  Borrower shall not elect under the terms of the Credit Agreement to have the “Applicable Margin” (as defined in the Credit Agreement) determined based on Parent’s or Borrower’s Investment Grade Rating, unless the Borrower shall also give simultaneous written notice of the same to the Administrative Agent under the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.6.                                                        Number of Interest Periods.

There may be no more than 5 different Interest Periods for LIBOR Loans outstanding at the same time.

34

Section 2.7.                                                        Repayment of Loans.

The Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the Term Loans on the Termination Date, subject to any earlier dates on which mandatory principal payments may be required under Section 2.8(b) or (c).

Section 2.8.                                                        Prepayments.

(a)                                 Optional.  The Borrower shall have the right, at its election, to prepay the outstanding amount of the applicable Loans, as a whole or in part, at any time together with a prepayment premium, if applicable, in respect of the principal amount of such Loans so prepaid in an amount equal to the percentage set forth below of such principal amount prepaid for any prepayment made during the periods set forth below:

(the “Prepayment Consideration”).  No prepayment premium shall be required pursuant to this paragraph in respect of any prepayment of such Loans made after October 25, 2023; provided, that if any full or partial prepayment of the outstanding amount of any LIBOR Loan is made other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, the Borrower shall pay all amounts due under Section 5.4.  The Borrower shall give the Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m., Cleveland time, at least three (3) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as the Agent may agree) prior written notice of any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.8., in each case specifying the proposed date of payment of the Loan and the principal amount to be paid.  Agent shall not be obligated to accept any prepayment of the Term Loans unless it is accompanied by the applicable Prepayment Consideration.  Borrower acknowledges that the Prepayment Consideration is bargained for consideration and is not a penalty.  Borrower recognizes that Lenders would incur substantial additional costs and expense in the event of a prepayment of the Loans and that the Prepayment Consideration compensates Lenders for such costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the loss of Lenders’ investment opportunity during the period from the prepayment date until the Termination Date).  Borrower agrees that Lenders shall not, as a condition to

35

receiving the Prepayment Consideration, be obligated to actually reinvest the amount prepaid in any obligation or in any other manner whatsoever.  If, following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Borrower shall tender payment of an amount sufficient to satisfy the Loan on or before October 25, 2023, such tender by Borrower shall be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment in the amount tendered and in such case Borrower shall also pay to Lender, with respect to the amount tendered, the applicable Prepayment Consideration.  Agent shall not be obligated to accept any such tender unless it is accompanied by all Prepayment Consideration due in connection therewith.

(b)                                 Mandatory. If at any time the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Unsecured Indebtedness of the Parent, the Borrower and their respective Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, the outstanding principal balance of the Loans, together with the aggregate amount of all Credit Agreement Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities), would cause a Default or Event of Default under Section 10.1. (g) or (h), then the Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days of the Agent’s demand, pay the amount of such excess, at its choice, either to reduce such Unsecured Indebtedness or to the Agent for the account of the Lenders for application to the Term Loans.  All payments under this Section shall be applied to pay all amounts of principal outstanding on the Term Loans pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2.  If the Borrower is required to pay any outstanding LIBOR Loans by reason of this Section prior to the end of the applicable Interest Period therefor, the Borrower shall pay all amounts due under Section 5.4.

(c)                                  Amortization of Loans.  In the event that the Termination Date is extended pursuant to Section 2.13.(c), then beginning on November 1, 2027 and continuing on the first (1st) day of each calendar month thereafter, throughout the remaining term of the Term Loans, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders a principal payment of the Term Loans, with each such payment based upon and equaling the monthly principal amounts payable pursuant to a thirty (30) year mortgage-style amortization schedule of the aggregate outstanding Term Loans as of the commencement of the Final Term Loan Extension Period assuming an interest rate per annum equal to the blended interest rate (including the Applicable Margin) applicable to Term Loans outstanding under this Agreement as of the commencement of the Final Term Loan Extension Period, which schedule shall be prepared by Agent following the commencement of the Final Term Loan Extension Period, and shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

Section 2.9.                                                        Continuation.

So long as no Default or Event of Default shall exist, the Borrower may on any Business Day, with respect to any LIBOR Loan, elect to maintain such LIBOR Loan or any portion thereof as a LIBOR Loan by selecting a new Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan.  Each new Interest Period selected under this Section shall commence on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period.  Each selection of a new Interest Period shall be made by the Borrower giving to the Agent a Notice of Continuation not later than 11:00 a.m. on the third Business Day prior to the date of any such Continuation.  Such notice by the Borrower of a Continuation shall be by telephone or telecopy, confirmed immediately in writing if by telephone, in the form of a Notice of Continuation, specifying (a) the proposed date of such Continuation, (b) the LIBOR Loans and portions thereof subject to such Continuation and (c) the duration of the selected

36

Interest Period, all of which shall be specified in such manner as is necessary to comply with all limitations on Loans outstanding hereunder.  Each Notice of Continuation shall be irrevocable by and binding on the Borrower once given.  Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Continuation, the Agent shall notify each applicable Lender by telecopy, or other similar form of transmission, of the proposed Continuation.  If the Borrower shall fail to select in a timely manner a new Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan in accordance with this Section, or if a Default or Event of Default shall exist, such Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Loan notwithstanding the first sentence of Section 2.10. or the Borrower’s failure to comply with any of the terms of such Section.

Section 2.10.                                                 Conversion.

The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon the Borrower’s giving of a Notice of Conversion to the Agent, Convert all or a portion of a Loan of one Type into a Loan of another Type; provided, however, a Base Rate Loan may not be Converted to a LIBOR Loan if a Default or Event of Default shall exist.  Any Conversion of a LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan shall be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan.  Each such Notice of Conversion shall be given not later than 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day prior to the date of any proposed Conversion into Base Rate Loans and on the third Business Day prior to the date of any proposed Conversion into LIBOR Loans.  Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion, the Agent shall notify each applicable Lender by telecopy, or other similar form of transmission, of the proposed Conversion.  Subject to the restrictions specified above, each Notice of Conversion shall be by telephone (confirmed immediately in writing) or telecopy in the form of a Notice of Conversion specifying (a) the requested date of such Conversion, (b) the Type of Loan to be Converted, (c) the portion of such Type of Loan to be Converted, (d) the Type of Loan such Loan is to be Converted into and (e) if such Conversion is into a LIBOR Loan, the requested duration of the Interest Period of such Loan.  Each Notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable by and binding on the Borrower once given.

Section 2.11.                                                 Notes.

(a)                                 Term Loan Note.  If requested by any Lender, the Term Loans made by such Lender shall, in addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit F (each a “Term Loan Note”), payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount equal to the amount of its Commitment as originally in effect and otherwise duly completed.

(b)                                 Records.  The date, amount, interest rate, Type and duration of Interest Periods (if applicable) of each Loan made by each Lender to the Borrower, and each payment made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by such Lender on its books and such entries shall be binding on the Borrower, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of a Lender to make any such record shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower under any of the Loan Documents.

(c)                                  Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Mutilated Notes.  Upon receipt by the Borrower of (i) written notice from a Lender that a Note of such Lender has been lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated, and (ii) (A) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, an unsecured agreement of

37

indemnity from such Lender in form reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, or (B) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note, the Borrower shall at its own expense execute and deliver to such Lender a new Note dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.

Section 2.12.                                                 Reserved.

Section 2.13.                                                 Extension of Term Loan Termination Date.

(a)                                 The Borrower shall have the right, exercisable one time, to extend the Termination Date to October 23, 2026.  The Borrower may exercise such right only by executing and delivering to the Agent not earlier than 366 days and not later than 60 days prior to the current Termination Date (or such other date as the Agent may agree in writing in its sole discretion), a written request for such extension (a “Term Loan Extension Request”).  The Agent shall forward to each Lender a copy of the Term Loan Extension Request delivered to the Agent promptly upon receipt thereof.  Subject to satisfaction of the following conditions, the Termination Date shall be extended to October 23, 2026:  at the time of such notice, immediately prior to such extension and immediately after giving effect thereto, (i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist and (ii) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrower and each other Loan Party in the Loan Documents to which any of them is a party, shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such extension with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances not prohibited under the Loan Documents.

(b)                                 In the event that the Termination Date has been extended as provided in Section 2.13.(a), the Borrower shall have the right, exercisable one time, to extend the Termination Date to October 25, 2027.  The Borrower may exercise such right only by executing and delivering to the Agent not earlier than 366 days and not later than 60 days prior to the current Termination Date (or such other date as the Agent may agree in writing in its sole discretion), a Term Loan Extension Request.  The Agent shall forward to each Lender a copy of the Term Loan Extension Request delivered to the Agent promptly upon receipt thereof.  Subject to satisfaction of the following conditions, the Termination Date shall be extended to October 25, 2027:  at the time of such notice, immediately prior to such extension and immediately after giving effect thereto, (i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist and (ii) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrower and each other Loan Party in the Loan Documents to which any of them is a party, shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such extension with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances not prohibited under the Loan Documents.

(c)                                  In the event that the Termination Date has been extended as provided in Section 2.13.(a) and (b), the Borrower shall have the right, exercisable one time, to extend the

38

Termination Date to October 25, 2028 (such extension period pursuant to this Section 2.13.(c), the “Final Term Loan Extension Period”).  The Borrower may exercise such right only by executing and delivering to the Agent not earlier than 366 days and not later than 60 days prior to the current Termination Date (or such other date as the Agent may agree in writing in its sole discretion), a Term Loan Extension Request.  The Agent shall forward to each Lender a copy of the Term Loan Extension Request delivered to the Agent promptly upon receipt thereof.  Subject to satisfaction of the following conditions, the Termination Date shall be extended to October 25, 2028:  at the time of such notice, immediately prior to such extension and immediately after giving effect thereto, (i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist and (ii) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrower and each other Loan Party in the Loan Documents to which any of them is a party, shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such extension with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances not prohibited under the Loan Documents.

Section 2.14.                                                 Reserved.

Section 2.15.                                                 Amount Limitations.

Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no Lender shall be required to make a Loan, if immediately after the making of such Loan, the aggregate principal amount of all Unsecured Indebtedness of the Parent, the Borrower and their respective Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, outstanding Loans) would cause a Default or Event of Default under Section 10.1.(g) or (h).

Section 2.16.                                                 Increase of Commitments.

The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time during the term of this Agreement to request increases in the aggregate amount of the Commitments (provided that after giving effect to any increases in the Commitments pursuant to this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitments may not exceed $300,000,000) by providing written notice to the Agent.  Each such increase in the Commitments must be in an aggregate minimum amount of $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof.  If a new Lender becomes a party to this Agreement in order to provide such additional Commitment, or if any existing Lender agrees to increase its Commitment, such Lender shall on the date it becomes a Lender hereunder (or increases its Commitment, in the case of an existing Lender) make Term Loans (any such Term Loan, an “Incremental Term Loan”) to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount equal to such new Lender’s Commitment (or the amount of the increase in its Commitment, in the case of an existing Lender), by making available for the account of its applicable Lending Office to the Agent at the Principal Office, in immediately available funds, in an aggregate principal amount equal to such new Lender’s Commitment (or the amount of the increase in its Commitment, in the case of an existing Lender).  Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.16. and Section 6.2., the Agent will make the proceeds of such borrowing available to the Borrower at the account specified by Borrower.  No Lender shall be required to increase its Commitment and any new Lender becoming a party to this Agreement

39

in connection with any such requested increase must be an Eligible Assignee.  No increase of the Commitments may be effected under this Section if (x) a Default or Event of Default shall be in existence on the effective date of such increase (and no Default or Event of Default would arise after giving pro forma effect to such increase) or (y) any representation or warranty made or deemed made by the Borrower or any other Loan Party in any Loan Document to which any such Loan Party is a party is not (or would not be) true or correct in all material respects on the effective date of such increase (except for representations or warranties which expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances not prohibited under the Loan Documents).  In addition, in connection with and as a condition to any increase of the Term Loans, the Borrower shall obtain an additional Interest Rate Hedge with respect to such increased Commitment as is necessary to comply with Section 8.16.  In connection with any increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to this subsection, (a) any Lender becoming a party hereto shall execute such documents and agreements as the Agent may reasonably request and (b) the Borrower shall, if requested by the affected Lender, make appropriate arrangements so that each new Lender, and any existing Lender increasing its Commitment, receives a new or replacement Note, as appropriate, in the amount of such Lender’s Commitment simultaneous with the effectiveness of the applicable increase in the aggregate amount of Commitments.  Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any increase of Commitments under this Section 2.16., the Agent may (without the consent of any Lender) amend this Agreement to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the increase of Commitments.

ARTICLE III.   PAYMENTS, FEES AND OTHER GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 3.1.                                                        Payments.

Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest and other amounts to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set off or counterclaim, to the Agent at its Principal Office, not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day).  Subject to Section 11.4., the Borrower may, at the time of making each payment under this Agreement or any Note, specify to the Agent the amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied.  Each payment received by the Agent for the account of a Lender under this Agreement or any Note shall be paid to such Lender at the applicable Lending Office of such Lender no later than 5:00 p.m. on the date of receipt.  If the Agent fails to pay such amount to a Lender as provided in the previous sentence, the Agent shall pay interest on such amount until paid at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.  If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall be payable for the period of such extension.

40

Section 3.2.                                                        Pro Rata Treatment.

(a)                                 Generally.  Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each borrowing from the Lenders under Section 2.1.(a) shall be made from the Lenders pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments; (ii) each payment or prepayment of principal of Term Loans by the Borrower shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Term Loans held by them, provided that if immediately prior to giving effect to any such payment in respect of any Term Loans the outstanding principal amount of Term Loans shall not be held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments in effect at the time such Loans were made, then such payment shall be applied to the Term Loans in such manner as shall result, as nearly as is practicable, in the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans being held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments; (iii) each payment of interest on Term Loans by the Borrower shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders; (iv) the making, Conversion and Continuation of Term Loans of a particular Type (other than Conversions provided for by Section 5.5.) shall be made pro rata among the Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments (in the case of making of the Loans) or their respective Loans (in the case of Conversions and Continuations of Loans) and the then current Interest Period for each Lender’s portion of each Loan of such Type shall be coterminous; and (v) each payment of Prepayment Consideration with respect to Term Loans by the Borrower shall be made for the account of the Lenders, pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Term Loans held by them (after giving effect to Section 3.2 (a)(ii).

(b)                                 Defaulting Lenders.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.2., if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, each payment by the Borrower hereunder shall be applied in accordance with Section 3.11.(d).

Section 3.3.                                                        Sharing of Payments, Etc.

If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan made by it to the Borrower under this Agreement, or shall obtain payment on any other Obligation owing by the Borrower or a Loan Party through the exercise of any right of set off, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise or through voluntary prepayments directly to a Lender or other payments made by the Borrower to a Lender not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such payment should be distributed to the Lenders pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2. or Section 11.4., as applicable, such Lender shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loans made by the other Lenders or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such payment (net of any reasonable expenses which may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such benefit) pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2. or Section 11.4., as applicable.  To such end, all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.  The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation (or direct interest) in the Loans or other Obligations owed to such

41

other Lenders may exercise all rights of set off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans in the amount of such participation.  Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower.

Section 3.4.                                                        Several Obligations.

No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender hereunder, and the failure of any Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder shall not relieve the obligation of any other Lender to make any Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.

Section 3.8.                                                        Usury.

In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable on the Loans or other Obligations exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law and, if any such payment is paid by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or received by any Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless the Borrower shall notify the respective Lender in writing that the Borrower elects to have such excess sum returned to it forthwith.  It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the Borrower not pay and the Lenders not receive, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid by the Borrower under Applicable Law.

Section 3.9.                                                        Agreement Regarding Interest and Charges.

The Agent will account to the Borrower monthly with a statement of Loans, accrued interest and Fees, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such account rendered by the Agent shall be deemed conclusive upon Borrower absent manifest error.  The failure of the Agent to deliver such a statement of accounts shall not relieve or discharge the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 3.11.                                                 Defaulting Lenders.

(a)                                 Generally.  If for any reason any Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to the Agent or the Borrower under this Agreement or Applicable Law, such Defaulting Lender’s right to participate in the administration of the Loans, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation, any right to vote in respect of, to consent to or to direct any action or inaction of the Agent or to be taken into account in the calculation of the Requisite Lenders or all of the Lenders, shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal.  If a Lender is a Defaulting Lender because it has failed to make timely payment to the Agent of any amount required to be paid to the Agent hereunder (without giving effect to any notice or cure periods),

43

in addition to other rights and remedies which the Agent or the Borrower may have under the immediately preceding provisions or otherwise, the Agent shall be entitled (i) to collect interest from such Defaulting Lender on such delinquent payment for the period from the date on which the payment was due until the date on which the payment is made at the Federal Funds Rate, (ii) to withhold or setoff and to apply in satisfaction of the defaulted payment and any related interest, any amounts otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (iii) to bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any related interest.  Any amounts received by the Agent in respect of a Defaulting Lender’s Loans shall be paid applied as set forth in Section 3.11.(d).

(b)                                 Purchase or Cancellation of Defaulting Lender’s Commitment.  Any Non-Defaulting Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion, to acquire all of a Defaulting Lender’s Commitment.  Any Lender desiring to exercise such right shall give written notice thereof to the Agent and the Borrower no sooner than 2 (two) Business Days and not later than 5 (five) Business Days after such Defaulting Lender became a Defaulting Lender.  If more than one Lender exercises such right, each such Lender shall have the right to acquire an amount of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment in proportion to the Commitments of the other Lenders exercising such right.  If after such 5th (fifth) Business Day, the Lenders have not elected to purchase all of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, by giving written notice thereof to the Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, either (i) demand that such Defaulting Lender assign its Commitment to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.5.(d) for the purchase price provided for below or (ii) terminate the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, whereupon such Defaulting Lender shall no longer be a party hereto or have any rights or obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents.  Upon the termination of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment, the Borrower may, at its option but subject to first obtaining Agent’s prior written approval, which may be granted in its sole discretion, notwithstanding the provisions in Section 3.2., make a payment to the Defaulting Lender in an amount equal to the principal balance of the Loans outstanding, accrued interest and other fees owed by the Borrower to the Defaulting Lender.  No party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee.  Upon any such purchase or assignment, the Defaulting Lender’s interest in the Loans and its rights hereunder (but not its liability in respect thereof or under the Loan Documents or this Agreement to the extent the same relate to the period prior to the effective date of the purchase) shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest to the purchaser or assignee thereof, including an appropriate Assignment and Acceptance Agreement.  The purchase price for the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender shall be equal to the amount of the principal balance of the Loans outstanding and owed by the Borrower to the Defaulting Lender.  Prior to payment of such purchase price to a Defaulting Lender, the Agent shall apply against such purchase price any amounts retained by the Agent pursuant to Section 3.11.(d).  Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive amounts owed to it by the Borrower under the Loan Documents which accrued prior to the date of the default by the Defaulting Lender, to the extent the same are received by the Agent from or on behalf of the Borrower.  There shall be no recourse against any Lender or the Agent for the payment of such sums except to the extent of the receipt of payments from any other party or in respect of the Loans.

(c)                                  Reserved.

(d)                                 Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 13.3.), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows:  first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; third, if so determined by the Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement and (y) be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Agent or the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Agent or any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;  fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (i) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Term Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (ii) such Term Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Sections 6.1. and 6.2., as applicable, were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Term Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis until such time as all Term Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Commitment Percentages prior to being applied to the payment of any Term Loans of such Defaulting Lender.  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(e)                                  Reserved.

(f)                                   Reserved.

(g)                                  Reserved.

(h)                                 Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Borrower, and the Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or

45

on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

Section 3.12.                                                 Taxes.

(a)                                 Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower or other applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.12.) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b)                                 Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c)                                  Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.12.) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient 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 as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that the determinations in such statement are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.

(d)                                 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 the Borrower or another Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.5.(c) 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,

46

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 Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this subsection.

(e)                                  Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.12., the Borrower or such other Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(f)                                   Status of Lenders.

(i)                                     Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in the immediately following clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

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

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

(B)                               any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a

47

Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

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

(II)                              an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8ECI;

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

(IV)                          to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-2 or Exhibit K-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit K-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

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

(D)                               if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail

48

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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

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

(g)                                  Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.12. (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.12.), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 3.12. with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection 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 has not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection 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 reasonably deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h)                                 Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.12. shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(i)                                     Right to Replace Lender.  If (x) a Lender requests compensation pursuant to this Section 3.12. or Section 5.1. and the Requisite Lenders are not also doing the same, (y) a Lender’s obligations with respect to LIBOR Loans are suspended pursuant to Section 5.1.(b) or Section 5.3. and the obligations of the Requisite Lenders are not also suspended or (z) in

49

connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent which requires the approval of each Lender under Section 13.6.(b), and with respect to which approvals from the Requisite Lenders have been obtained, a Lender that has not given, or been deemed to have given, its approval of such matter, then, so long as there does not then exist any Event of Default, the Borrower may demand that such Lender (the “Affected Lender”), and upon such demand the Affected Lender shall promptly, assign its Commitment to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.5.(d) for a purchase price to be agreed on by the Affected Lender and the Eligible Assignee, but not in excess of the par value thereof.  Each of the Agent and the Affected Lender shall reasonably cooperate in effectuating the replacement of such Affected Lender under this subsection, but at no time shall the Agent, such Affected Lender nor any other Lender be obligated in any way whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee.  The exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this subsection shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Agent, the Affected Lender or any of the other Lenders.  The terms of this subsection shall not in any way limit the Borrower’s obligation to pay to any Affected Lender compensation owing to such Affected Lender pursuant to this Section 3.12., Section 5.1. or Section 5.4., as applicable, with respect to periods up to the date of replacement.

ARTICLE IV.   UNENCUMBERED POOL PROPERTIES

Section 4.1.                                                        Reserved.

Section 4.2.                                                        Conditions Precedent to a Property Becoming an Eligible Unencumbered Pool Property.

No Property shall become an Eligible Unencumbered Pool Property until the Borrower shall have caused to be executed and delivered to the Agent, if such Property is owned by a Subsidiary that is not already a Guarantor or any Subsidiary which owns an interest therein is liable with respect to Unsecured Indebtedness and such Subsidiaries are not exempted from being a Guarantor pursuant to Section 4.3.(b), (i) an Accession Agreement executed by such Subsidiary (or if such Subsidiary is the first Subsidiary to become a Guarantor, the Guaranty), and (ii) all of the items that would have been required to be delivered to the Agent under Section 6.1.(a)(iv) through (vii) had such Subsidiary been a Loan Party on the Effective Date.

Section 4.3.                                                        Release of Guarantors and Unencumbered Pool Properties; Additional Guarantors.

(a)                                 From time to time the Borrower may request, upon not less than five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the Agent (or such shorter period as the Agent may agree in its sole discretion), that a Subsidiary that is a Guarantor solely pursuant to Section 4.3.(c) be released from the Guaranty, which release (the “Release”) shall be effected by the Agent if all of the following conditions are satisfied as of the date of such Release:

(i)                                     no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing or would occur or exist immediately after giving effect to such Release; and

(ii)                                  Administrative Agent shall have received evidence satisfactory to it (which evidence may be in the form of a certificate from an officer of the Borrower certifying

50

thereto) that such Subsidiary has not created, incurred, acquired, assumed, or suffered to exist and is not otherwise liable (whether as a borrower, co-borrower, guarantor or otherwise) with respect to any Unsecured Indebtedness (or simultaneously with the release hereunder will be released from liability with respect to such Unsecured Indebtedness).  Nothing in this Section 4.3.(a) shall authorize the release of Parent from the Springing Guaranty.

(b)                                 Reserved.

(c)                                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time any Subsidiary of Borrower shall create, incur, acquire, assume, suffer to exist or is or becomes otherwise liable with respect to any Unsecured Indebtedness, whether as a borrower, co-borrower, guarantor or otherwise, then in either case Borrower shall simultaneously cause such Subsidiary to become a Guarantor and to deliver to Agent an Accession Agreement (or if such Subsidiary is the first Subsidiary to become a Guarantor, the Guaranty) and the other documents required by Section 4.2. to be delivered with respect to a new Guarantor.

In connection with any such release, Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to Borrower, at Borrower’s expense, all documents that Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence such release.

Section 4.4.                                                        Frequency of Calculations of Unencumbered Pool Value and the Unsecured Debt Interest Coverage Ratio.

Initially, the Unencumbered Pool Value and the Unsecured Debt Interest Coverage Ratio shall be the amount set forth as such in the Compliance Certificate delivered under Section 6.1.  Thereafter, the Unencumbered Pool Value and the Unsecured Debt Interest Coverage Ratio shall be the amount set forth as such in the Compliance Certificate delivered from time to time under Section 4.3.(a), 4.5. or 9.4.(g).  Any increase in the Unencumbered Pool Value and the Unsecured Debt Interest Coverage Ratio shall become effective as of the next determination of the Unencumbered Pool Value and the Unsecured Debt Interest Coverage Ratio as provided in this Section, provided that as of such date of determination the applicable Compliance Certificate substantiates such increase.

Section 4.5.                                                        Removal of Ineligible Property.

Upon any asset ceasing to qualify to be included as an Unencumbered Pool Property in the calculation of the Unencumbered Pool Value and the Unsecured Debt Interest Coverage Ratio, such asset shall no longer be included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Pool Value and the Unsecured Debt Interest Coverage Ratio.  Within five (5) Business Days after the Borrower becomes aware of any such disqualification, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a certificate reflecting such disqualification, together with the identity of the disqualified asset, a statement as to whether any Default or Event of Default will arise as a result of such disqualification after the Borrower has the opportunity to cure any such Default of Event of Default in accordance with the last paragraph of Section 11.1., and a calculation of the Unencumbered Pool Value and Net Operating Income attributable to such asset.  Simultaneously with the delivery of the items required above, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a pro forma Compliance Certificate and calculation of Unencumbered Pool Value and Unsecured Debt

51

Interest Coverage Ratio demonstrating, after giving effect to such removal or disqualification and any reduction of the Loans in accordance with Section 11.1., compliance with the covenants contained in Section 10.1.

ARTICLE V.   YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.

Section 5.1.                                                        Additional Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a)                                 Additional Costs.  The Borrower shall promptly pay to the Agent for the account of a Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender that it determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any Loans or its obligation to make any Loans hereunder, any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by such Lender of capital or liquidity in respect of its Loans or its Commitment (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), to the extent resulting from any Regulatory Change that:  (i) changes the basis of taxation (other than for Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and Connection Income Taxes) of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such Loans or its Commitment; or (ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements (other than Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other reserve requirement to the extent utilized in the determination of Adjusted LIBOR for such Loan) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Lender, or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitment of such Lender hereunder); or (iii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (but subject to the terms of Section 3.12.) (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy).

(b)                                 Lender’s Suspension of LIBOR Loans.  Without limiting the effect of the provisions of the immediately preceding subsection (a), if, by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that includes LIBOR Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue, or to Convert any other Type of Loans into, LIBOR Loans hereunder shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 5.5. shall apply).

(c)                                  Reserved.

(d)                                 Notification and Determination of Additional Costs.  Each of the Agent and each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the Effective Date

52

entitling the Agent or such Lender to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section as promptly as practicable; provided, however, the failure of the Agent or any Lender to give such notice shall not release the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder (and in the case of a Lender, to the Agent); provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 5.1.(d) for any Additional Costs incurred more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Regulatory Change giving rise to such Additional Costs, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Regulatory Change giving rise to such Additional Costs is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).  The Agent or such Lender agrees to furnish to the Borrower (and in the case of a Lender, to the Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and amount of each request by the Agent or such Lender for compensation under this Section.  Absent manifest error, determinations by the Agent or any Lender of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.

Section 5.2.                                                        Suspension of LIBOR Loans.

(a)                                 Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of Adjusted LIBOR for any Interest Period:

(i)                                     the Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Adjusted LIBOR for such Interest Period, or

(ii)                                  the Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that Adjusted LIBOR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period;

then the Agent shall give the Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to, and shall not, make additional LIBOR Loans, Continue LIBOR Loans or Convert Loans into LIBOR Loans and the Borrower shall, on the last day of each current Interest Period for each outstanding LIBOR Loan, either repay such Loan or Convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan.

(b)                                 If at any time the Agent determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive, absent manifest error) that either (i) (A) the circumstances set forth in Section 5.2.(a) have arisen and are unlikely to be temporary, or (B) the circumstances set forth in Section 5.2.(a) have not arisen but the applicable supervisor or administrator (if any) of LIBOR or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Agent has made a public statement identifying the specific date after which LIBOR shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans (either such date, a “LIBOR Termination Date”), or (ii) a rate other than LIBOR has become a widely recognized benchmark rate for newly originated loans in Dollars in the U.S. market, then the Agent and the Borrower shall endeavor to choose a replacement index for LIBOR and make adjustments to applicable margins and related amendments to this Agreement as referred to below such that, to the extent practicable, the all-in interest rate based on the

53

replacement index will be substantially equivalent to the all-in LIBOR based interest rate in effect prior to its replacement.

(c)                                  The Agent, the Borrower and the Guarantors shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect the replacement index, the adjusted margins and such other related amendments as may be appropriate, in the discretion of the Agent, for the implementation and administration of the replacement index-based rate.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Section 13.6.), such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement at 5:00 p.m. (Cleveland, Ohio time) on the tenth (10th) Business Day after the date a draft of the amendment is provided to the Lenders, unless the Agent receives, on or before such tenth (10th) Business Day, a written notice from the Requisite Lenders stating that such Lenders object to such amendment.  As a condition to such amendment becoming effective, Borrower shall provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to Agent that Borrower is and will be in compliance with the requirement of Section 8.16. to have an Interest Rate Hedge in place with respect to the replacement index.

(d)                                 Selection of the replacement index, adjustments to the applicable margins, and amendments to this Agreement (i) will be determined with due consideration to the then-current market practices for determining and implementing a rate of interest for newly originated syndicated loans in the United States and loans converted from a LIBOR based rate to a replacement index-based rate, and (ii) may also reflect adjustments to account for (x) the effects of the transition from LIBOR to the replacement index and (y) yield or risk-based differences between LIBOR and the replacement index.

(e)                                  Until an amendment reflecting a new replacement index in accordance with this Section 5.2. is effective, each advance, conversion and renewal of a LIBOR Loan will continue to bear interest with reference to LIBOR; provided however, that if the Agent determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive, absent manifest error) that a LIBOR Termination Date has occurred, then following the LIBOR Termination Date, all LIBOR Loans shall automatically be converted to Base Rate Loans until such time as an amendment reflecting a replacement index and related matters as described above is implemented.

(f)                                   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time the replacement index is less than zero, at such times, such index shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 5.3.                                                        Illegality.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall reasonably determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that it has become unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof (with a copy to the Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 5.5. shall be applicable).

54

Section 5.4.                                                        Compensation.

The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the request of such Lender through the Agent, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense that such Lender reasonably determines is attributable to:

(a)                                 any payment or prepayment (whether mandatory or optional) of a LIBOR Loan, or Conversion of a LIBOR Loan, made by such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, acceleration) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or

(b)                                 any failure by the Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any of the applicable conditions precedent specified in Article VI. to be satisfied) to borrow a LIBOR Loan from such Lender on the requested date for such borrowing, or to Convert a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan or Continue a LIBOR Loan on the requested date of such Conversion or Continuation.

Upon the Borrower’s request, any Lender requesting compensation under this Section shall provide the Borrower with a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof.  Absent manifest error, determinations by any Lender in any such statement shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.

Section 5.5.                                                        Treatment of Affected Loans.

If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.1.(b) or 5.3., then such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for LIBOR Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion required by Section 5.1.(b) or 5.3., on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to the Borrower with a copy to the Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 5.1. or 5.3. that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:

(a)                                 to the extent that such Lender’s LIBOR Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and

(b)                                 all Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as LIBOR Loans shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into LIBOR Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.

If such Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 5.1. or 5.3. that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBOR Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, then such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR Loans, to the extent

55

necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the applicable Lenders holding such LIBOR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.

Section 5.6.                                                        Change of Lending Office.

Each Lender agrees that it will use reasonable efforts to designate an alternate Lending Office with respect to any of its Loans affected by the matters or circumstances described in Sections 3.12., 5.1. or 5.3. to reduce the liability of the Borrower or avoid the results provided thereunder, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion.

Section 5.7.                                                        Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Loans.

Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Article V. shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded LIBOR Loans through the purchase of deposits in the relevant market bearing interest at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Loans in an amount equal to the amount of the LIBOR Loans and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be used only for calculation of amounts payable under this Article V.
