Section 2.4. Swingline Loan Subfacility.

(a)                                  Swingline Commitment.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.4, the Swingline Lender, in its individual capacity, agrees to make certain revolving credit loans denominated in Dollars to the Borrower (each a “Swingline Loan” and, collectively, the “Swingline Loans”) at any time and from time to time during the Term hereof; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed the lesser of (i) $25,000,000, and (ii) the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments less the sum of (A) all Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans then outstanding, and (B) the Letter of Credit Usage (the “Swingline Commitment”); provided that the Swingline Lender shall not make any Swingline Loan available if, after giving effect thereto the aggregate principal amount of the sum of (i) the Swingline Lender’s Swingline Loans then outstanding, (ii) all other Revolving Loans held by the Swingline Lender then outstanding and (iii) the Swingline Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Usage at such time, would exceed such Swingline Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. Subject to the limitations set forth herein, any amounts repaid in respect of Swingline Loans may be reborrowed.

(b)                                 Swingline Borrowings.

(i)                                     Notice of Borrowing.  With respect to any Swingline Borrowing, the Borrower shall give the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent notice in writing which is received by the Swingline Lender and Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the proposed date of such Swingline Borrowing (and confirmed by telephone by such time), specifying (A) that a Swingline Borrowing is being requested, (B) the amount of such Swingline Borrowing, (C) the proposed date of such Swingline Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day and (D) that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing both before and after giving effect to such Swingline Borrowing.  Such notice shall be irrevocable.

(ii)                                  Minimum Amounts.  Each Swingline Borrowing shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000, or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.

35

(iii)          Repayment of Swingline Loans.  Each Swingline Loan shall be due and payable on the earliest of (A) 5 Business Days from and including the date of the applicable Swingline Borrowing, (B) the date of the next Revolving Credit Borrowing or (C) the Maturity Date.  If, and to the extent, any Swingline Loans shall be outstanding on the date of any Revolving Credit Borrowing, such Swingline Loans shall first be repaid from the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Borrowing prior to the disbursement of the same to the Borrower.  If, and to the extent, a Revolving Credit Borrowing is not requested prior to the Maturity Date or the end of the 5 Business Day period after a Swingline Borrowing, or unless the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fourth (4th) Business Day after the Swingline Borrowing that the Borrower intends to reimburse the Swingline Bank for the amount of such Swingline Borrowing with funds other than proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Borrowing comprised entirely of Base Rate Loans in the amount of the applicable Swingline Loan then outstanding, the proceeds of which shall be used to repay such Swingline Loan to the Swingline Lender.  In addition, if (x) the Borrower does not repay the Swingline Loan on or prior to the end of such 5 Business Day period, or (y) a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred during such 5 Business Day period, the Swingline Lender may, at any time, in its sole discretion, by written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, demand repayment of its Swingline Loans by way of a Revolving Credit Borrowing, in which case the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Borrowing comprised entirely of Base Rate Loans in the amount of such Swingline Loans then outstanding, the proceeds of which shall be used to repay such Swingline Loans to the Swingline Lender.  Any Revolving Credit Borrowing which is deemed requested by the Borrower in accordance with this Section 2.4(b)(iii) is hereinafter referred to as a “Mandatory Borrowing”.  Each Bank hereby irrevocably agrees to make Revolving Credit Loans promptly upon receipt of notice from the Swingline Lender of any such deemed request for a Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentences and on the date such notice is received by such Bank (or the next Business Day if such notice is received after 12:00 noon (New York City time)) notwithstanding (I) that the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount of Revolving Credit Borrowings otherwise required hereunder, (II) whether any conditions specified in Section 3.2 are then satisfied, (III) whether a Default or an Event of Default then exists, (IV) failure of any such deemed request for a Revolving Credit Borrowing to be made by the time otherwise required in Section 2.3, (V) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing (provided that such date must be a Business Day), or (VI) any termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments immediately prior to such Mandatory Borrowing or contemporaneously therewith; provided, however, that no Bank shall be obligated to make Revolving Credit Loans in respect of a Mandatory Borrowing if a Default or an Event of Default then exists and the applicable Swingline Loan was made by the Swingline Lender without receipt of a written Notice of Borrowing in the form specified in subclause (i) above or after

36

Administrative Agent has delivered a notice of Default or Event of Default which has not been rescinded.

(iv)          Purchase of Participations.  In the event that any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including, without limitation, as a result of the commencement of a proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Borrower), then each Bank hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase (as of the date the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, but adjusted for any payment received from the Borrower on or after such date and prior to such purchase) from the Swingline Lender such participations in the outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause each such Bank to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Commitments (determined before giving effect to any termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to Section 6.2); provided that (A) all interest payable on the Swingline Loans with respect to any participation shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender until but excluding the day upon which the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, and (B) in the event of a delay between the day upon which the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred and the time any purchase of a participation pursuant to this sentence is actually made, the purchasing Bank shall be required to pay to the Swingline Lender interest on the principal amount of such participation for each day from and including the day upon which the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred to but excluding the date of payment for such participation, at the rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate, for the two (2) Business Days after the date the Mandatory Borrowing would otherwise have occurred, and thereafter at a rate equal to the Base Rate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Bank shall be obligated to purchase a participation in any Swingline Loan if a Default or an Event of Default then exists and such Swingline Loan was made by the Swingline Lender without receipt of a written Notice of Borrowing in the form specified in subclause (i) above or after Administrative Agent has delivered a notice of Default or Event of Default which has not been rescinded.

(c)           Interest Rate.  Each Swingline Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Swingline Loan is made until the date it is repaid, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Euro-Currency Loans for such day.

Section 2.5. Notice to Banks; Funding of Loans; Replacement of Defaulting Bank.

(a)           Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing from the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.3 hereof, the Administrative Agent shall, on the date such Notice of Borrowing is received by the Administrative Agent, notify each applicable Bank of the contents thereof and of such Bank’s share of such Borrowing, of the interest rate applicable thereto and the Interest Period(s) and such Notice of Borrowing shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower, unless the Borrower shall pay any applicable expenses pursuant to Section 2.16.

37

(b)           Not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time or, in the case of any Alternate Currency Borrowing, London time) on the date of each Borrowing (including without limitation each Mandatory Borrowing) as indicated in the applicable Notice of Borrowing, each Bank shall (except as provided in subsection (d) of this Section 2.5) make available its Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing in Federal funds or the applicable Alternate Currency immediately available in New York, New York (or, in the case of any Alternate Currency Borrowing, the principal financial center of the Alternate Currency in question), to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.1.  If the Borrower has requested the issuance of a Letter of Credit, no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such issuance as indicated in the notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.3(b), the Fronting Bank shall issue such Letter of Credit for the amount so requested and deliver the same to, or as directed in writing by, the Borrower, with a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent.  Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit by the Fronting Bank, the Fronting Bank shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each other Bank, and each such other Bank shall be deemed, and hereby agrees, to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the Fronting Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and a participation in such Letter of Credit, any drawing thereunder, and its obligation to pay its Pro Rata Share with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto, in an amount equal to such Bank’s ratable share thereof.  Upon any change in any of the Revolving Credit Commitments in accordance herewith, there shall be an automatic adjustment to such participations to reflect such changed shares.  The Fronting Bank shall have the primary obligation to fund any and all draws made with respect to such Letter of Credit notwithstanding any failure of a participating Bank to fund its ratable share of any such draw.  The Administrative Agent will instruct the Fronting Bank to make such Letter of Credit available to the Borrower and the Fronting Bank shall make such Letter of Credit available to the Borrower, at its aforesaid address or at such address in the United States or at such address in Europe, the United Kingdom, Canada or the United States as the Borrower shall request on the date of Borrowing.

(c)           Not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of each Swingline Borrowing as indicated in the applicable Notice of Borrowing, the Swingline Lender shall make available such Swingline Borrowing in Federal funds immediately available in New York, New York to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.1.

(d)           Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Bank prior to the time of any Borrowing that such Bank will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made such share available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with this Section 2.5, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount on behalf of such Bank.  If and to the extent that such Bank shall not have so made such share available to the Administrative Agent, such Bank agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, at the Federal Funds Rate with respect to Dollar Loans and at the Administrative Agent’s cost of funds for the applicable Alternate Currency with respect to Alternate Currency Loans, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent. If such Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such

38

Bank’s Loan included in such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.  If such Bank shall not pay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount after reasonable attempts are made by the Administrative Agent to collect such amounts from such Bank, the Borrower agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amounts together with interest thereto, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the interest rate applicable thereto one (1) Business Day after demand. Nothing contained in this Section 2.5(d) shall be deemed to reduce the Commitment of any Bank or in any way affect the rights of the Borrower with respect to any Defaulting Bank or the Administrative Agent.  The failure of any Bank to make available to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s share of any Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.5(b) hereof shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligations to fund its Commitment, in accordance with the provisions hereof.

(e)           If any Bank becomes a Defaulting Bank and for so long as such Bank remains a Defaulting Bank, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Bank and the Administrative Agent, require such Bank to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.6), all its undrawn Commitments under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Bank, if a Bank accepts such assignment); provided that the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld; provided further that nothing contained in this clause (e) shall affect the obligations due to such Defaulting Bank.

(f)            Subject to the provisions hereof, the Administrative Agent shall make available each Borrowing to the Borrower in Federal funds or the applicable Alternate Currency immediately available in accordance with, and on the date set forth in, the applicable Notice of Borrowing.

Section 2.6. Notes.

(a)           Each Bank may, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, request that its various Dollar Term Loans, Multicurrency Revolving/Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans be evidenced by separate Notes, each in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the applicable Loans.  Any additional costs incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or the Banks in connection with preparing such a Note shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Bank requesting such Note.  In the event any Loans evidenced by such a Note are paid in full prior to the Maturity Date, any such Bank shall return such Note to the Borrower.  Each such Term Loan Note shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit G-1 hereto, each such Multicurrency Revolving/Term Loan Note shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 hereto, each such Revolving Credit Loan Note shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit G-3 hereto and each such Swingline Loan Note shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit G-4.  Upon the execution and delivery of any such Note, any existing Note payable to such Bank shall be returned to the Borrower and replaced or modified accordingly.  Each reference in this Agreement to the “Note” of such Bank shall be deemed to refer to and include any or all of such Notes, as the context may require.

39

(b)           Upon receipt of any Bank’s Note(s) pursuant to Section 3.1(a), the Administrative Agent shall forward such Note(s) to such Bank.  Such Bank shall record the date, amount, currency, Type and maturity of each Loan made by it and the date and amount of each payment of principal made by the Borrower, with respect thereto, and may, if such Bank so elects in connection with any transfer or enforcement of its Note(s), endorse on the appropriate schedule appropriate notations to evidence the foregoing information with respect to each such Loan then outstanding; provided that the failure of such Bank to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes.  Each Bank is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Borrower so to endorse its Note(s) and to attach to and make a part of its Note(s) a continuation of any such schedule as and when required.

(c)           The Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable, on the Maturity Date.  The Swingline Loans shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable, in accordance with Section 2.4(b)(iii).

(d)           There shall be no more than ten (10) Euro-Currency Group of Loans outstanding at any one time.

Section 2.7. Method of Electing Interest Rates.  (a) The Loans included in each Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of rate specified by the Borrower, in the applicable Notice of Borrowing or as otherwise provided in Section 2.4 with respect to Mandatory Borrowings.  Thereafter, the Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by each Group of Loans (subject in each case to the provisions of Article VIII and without affecting the currency of any particular Loan), as follows:

(i)                    if such Loans are Base Rate Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert all or any portion of such Loans to Euro-Currency Loans as of any Euro-Currency Business Day;

(ii)                   if such Loans are Euro-Currency Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert all or any portion of such Loans to Base Rate Loans and/or elect to continue all or any portion of such Loans as Euro-Currency Loans for an additional Interest Period or additional Interest Periods, in each case effective on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Loans, or on such other date designated by the Borrower in the Notice of Interest Rate Election provided the Borrower shall pay any losses pursuant to Section 2.16.

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

40

Borrower shall have an Investment Grade Rating from S&P and ▇▇▇▇▇’▇, if the Borrower shall so request and the Required Banks shall so elect, then a Loan may be continued as, or converted into, a Euro-Currency Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (iv) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the Maturity Date.  Loans in any currency may not be converted to be Loans in a different currency.

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

(i)                    if the applicable Loans are Multicurrency Revolving/Term Loans, Dollar Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans;

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

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

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

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

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

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

Section 2.8. Interest Rates.

(a)           Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Loan is made until the date it is repaid or converted into a Euro-Currency Loan pursuant to Section 2.7, at a rate per annum equal to sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans for such day.

(b)           Each Euro-Currency Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day during the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum

41

equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin for Euro-Currency Loans for such day plus the Euro-Currency Rate applicable to such Interest Period.

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

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

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

Section 2.9. Fees.

(a)           Facility Fee.  For the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the date the Obligations are paid in full and this Agreement is terminated (the “Facility Fee Period”), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks ratably in proportion to their respective Term Loans outstanding, Revolving Credit Commitments and any unused and available portion of the Multicurrency Revolving/Term Loan Commitment, a facility fee on the aggregate Term Loans outstanding, Revolving Credit Commitments and any unused and available portion of the Multicurrency Revolving/Term Loan Commitment, in the case of the Revolving Credit Commitments, regardless of usage, at the Applicable Fee Percentage.  In the event that the Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated but Revolving Credit Loans or Letters of Credit remain outstanding, then, the facility fee shall be paid on the aggregate outstanding Loans and Letter of Credit Usage.  The facility fee shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December during the Facility Fee Period and on the Maturity Date.

(b)           Letter of Credit Fee.  During the Term, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Banks in proportion to their interests in respect of issued and undrawn Letters of Credit, a fee (a “Letter of Credit Fee”) in an amount, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, equal to a rate per annum equal to the then percentage per annum of the Applicable Margin with respect to Euro-Currency Loans, on the daily average of such issued and undrawn Letters of Credit, which fee shall be payable, in arrears, on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December during the Term and on the Maturity Date.  From the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of

42

Default, such fee shall be increased by two percent (2%) per annum on the daily average of such issued and undrawn Letters of Credit.

(c)           Fronting Bank Fee.  The Borrower shall pay any Fronting Bank, for its own account, a fee (a “Fronting Bank Fee”) at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) 0.10% of the daily average issued and undrawn amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit issued by such Fronting Bank and (ii) $1,000, which fee shall be in addition to and not in lieu of, the Letter of Credit Fee.  The Fronting Bank Fee shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December during the Term and on the Maturity Date.

(d)           Fees Non-Refundable.  All fees set forth in this Section 2.9 shall be deemed to have been earned on the date payment is due in accordance with the provisions hereof and shall be non-refundable.  The obligation of the Borrower to pay such fees in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be binding upon the Borrower and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Banks regardless of whether any Loans are actually made.

Section 2.10. Maturity Date.  The term (the “Term”) of the Revolving Credit Commitments (and each Bank’s obligations to make Revolving Credit Loans and to participate in Letters of Credit hereunder) shall terminate and expire, and the Borrower shall return or cause to be returned all Letters of Credit to the Fronting Bank, on the Maturity Date.  Any Loans outstanding on the Maturity Date (together with accrued interest thereon and all other Obligations) shall be due and payable on such date and any payment in respect of such Loans shall be made in the currency in which such Loans are denominated.

Section 2.11. Optional Prepayments.  Subject, in each case, to the Priority of Payments:

(a)           The Borrower may, upon at least one (1) Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent, prepay any Group of Base Rate Loans, in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating $1,000,000 or more, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment.  The Borrower may, from time to time on any Business Day so long as prior notice is given to the Administrative Agent and Swingline Lender no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day on which Borrower intends to make such prepayment, prepay any Swingline Loans in whole or in part in amounts aggregating $100,000 or a higher integral multiple of $100,000 (or, if less, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Swingline Loans then outstanding) by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment.  Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the several Banks (or the Swingline Lender in the case of Swingline Loans) included in such Group of Loans or Borrowing.

(b)           The Borrower may, upon at least three (3) Euro-Currency Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, given no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time, with respect to Dollar denominated Loans, and London time, with respect to Alternate Currency Loans) prepay all, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating the Dollar Equivalent Amount of approximately $5,000,000 or more, of any Group of Euro-Currency Loans as of the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto.  Except as provided in Article VIII, the Borrower may not

43

prepay all or any portion of the principal amount of any Euro-Currency Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto unless the Borrower shall also pay any applicable expenses pursuant to Section 2.16.  Any such prepayment notice shall be given on or prior to the third (3rd) Euro-Currency Business Day prior to, but excluding, the date of prepayment to the Administrative Agent.  Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the Banks included in any Group of Euro-Currency Loans.

(c)           The Borrower may at any time return any undrawn Letter of Credit to the Fronting Bank in whole, but not in part, and the Fronting Bank within a reasonable period of time shall give the Administrative Agent and each of the Banks notice of such return.

(d)           The Borrower may at any time and from time to time cancel all or any part of the unused Revolving Credit Commitments in amounts aggregating $25,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000 by the delivery to the Administrative Agent of a notice of cancellation within the applicable time periods set forth in Section 2.11(a) and (b) if there are Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding or, if there are no Revolving Credit Loans outstanding at such time as to which the Revolving Credit Commitments with respect thereto are being canceled, upon at least three (3) Business Day’s  notice to the Administrative Agent, whereupon, in either event, all or such portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, shall terminate as to the applicable Banks, pro rata on the date set forth in such notice of cancellation, and, if there are any Revolving Credit Loans then outstanding, the Borrower shall prepay, as applicable, all or such portion of Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such date that is greater than the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments after giving effect to such termination in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.11(a) and (b).  The Borrower shall be permitted to designate in its notice of cancellation which Group of Revolving Credit Loans, if any, are to be prepaid.  In the event the Borrower elects to cancel all or any portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.11(d), such amounts may not be borrowed or reborrowed.  A reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.11(d) shall not effect a reduction in the Swingline Commitment (unless so elected by the Borrower) until the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments have been reduced to an amount equal to or less than the Swingline Commitment.  A reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.11(d) shall not effect a reduction in the Swingline Commitment (unless so elected by the Borrower) until the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments have been reduced to an amount equal to the Swingline Commitment.

(e)           Any Revolving Credit Loans prepaid pursuant to Section 2.11(a) or (b) may be reborrowed.  Any Term Loans prepaid may not be reborrowed (except as provided in Section 2.1(d)).  In the event the Borrower elects to cancel all or any portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the Swingline Commitment pursuant to Section 2.11(d) hereof, such amounts may not be borrowed or reborrowed.

Section 2.12. Mandatory Prepayments; Cure.

(a)           Subject to the Priority of Payments, after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Principal Collateral Payment Event, any Principal Collateral Payments received by or on behalf of any Loan Party shall, within three Business Days of receipt thereof, be applied toward the prepayment of the Loans and Revolving Credit Commitment reductions.

44

(b)           Subject to the Priority of Payments, if, at any time, the Borrower fails to satisfy the applicable Coverage Test, the Borrower shall, within ten days after such failure, prepay the Loans and/or cause the Subsidiaries party to the Security Agreement to pledge additional Collateral under the Security Agreement and in accordance with the Loan Documents, in a combined amount sufficient to cure such Coverage Test deficiency (it being understood that the notice limitations in Section 2.11 shall not apply to any such prepayment but Section 2.16 shall apply thereto).

(c)           The Administrative Agent shall calculate the Dollar Equivalent Amount of any Alternate Currency Loan at the time of each Borrowing thereof and on the last Business Day of each calendar month.  If at any such time the Dollar Equivalent Amount of the sum of all Multicurrency Revolving/Term Loans, Revolving Credit Loans, Swingline Loans and Letter of Credit Usage, as determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in the aggregate, exceeds 103% of the sum of the Adjusted Funded Amount and the Revolving Facility Amount, the Borrower, within three (3) Business Days after notice thereof from the Administrative Agent, shall repay all or a portion of the Revolving Credit Loans or take such other actions, otherwise in accordance with the applicable terms of this Agreement, in such amount so that, following the making of such payment or action, the Dollar Equivalent Amount outstanding of such Loans and Letter of Credit Usage does not exceed the sum of the Adjusted Funded Amount and the Revolving Facility Amount.

(d)           Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments of Loans and Revolving Credit Commitment reductions made pursuant to clause (a) and (b) above shall be applied, (1) first, to the prepayment of the Term Loans and (2) second, to prepay Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans (and, solely in the case of mandatory prepayments made pursuant to clause (a) above, to reduce permanently the Revolving Credit Commitments).  Any such permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be accompanied by prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans and/or Swingline Loans to the extent, if any, that the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Loans outstanding, the Letter of Credit Usage and the Swingline Loans outstanding exceeds the amount of the Banks’ Revolving Credit Commitments as so reduced; provided that if the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans and Swingline Loans then outstanding is less than the amount of such excess (because Letter of Credit Usage constitutes a portion thereof), the Borrower shall, to the extent of the balance of such excess, replace outstanding Letters of Credit and/or deposit Letter of Credit Collateral in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, with interest accruing thereon in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.4.  Each prepayment of the Loans under this Section 2.12 (except in the case of Revolving Credit Loans that are Base Rate Loans and Swingline Loans) shall be accompanied by accrued interest thereon to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid.

(e)           Each mandatory prepayment and Commitment reduction pursuant to clause (a), (b) or (c) above shall be applied ratably according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans being prepaid or Revolving Credit Commitments, as applicable, then held by the Banks.  The application of any mandatory prepayment pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above, if made in Dollars, shall be made, first, to Base Rate Loans and, second, to Euro-Currency Loans.  Each prepayment of the Loans under this Section 2.12 shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of such prepayment on the amount so prepaid.

45

Section 2.13. Non-Pro Rata Prepayments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Borrower, with the consent of the Banks whose Loans are to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.13, shall be permitted to make non-pro rata optional prepayments of the Loans at a Discount greater than or equal to 20% of the aggregate principal amount of Loans to be so prepaid; provided that (i) the Loans so prepaid are cancelled and, in the case of any prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.13, a commensurate amount of the applicable Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment shall be concurrently cancelled and thereafter, for purposes of determining borrowing amounts, obligations in respect of Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans, repayment or prepayment of principal, obligations under Section 7.6 and similar items (but not payments of interest), such prepayment shall be treated to the extent applicable as though it were the equivalent of the purchase of a “last-out” participation in such Revolving Credit Commitment, (ii) any such prepayment is effected in accordance with procedures reasonably satisfactory to the Joint Lead Arrangers to ensure that each Bank has an opportunity to participate in such prepayment on a ratable basis in proportion to the respective amounts of Loans offered by each Bank to be subject to such prepayment, at the relevant price and (iii) at the time of any such prepayment (x) no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing and (y) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is at least 1.25 to 1.00.  Any prepayment under this Section 2.13 shall be subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent, which shall be granted unless administrative responsibilities resulting from such prepayment would be unduly burdensome, as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

Section 2.14. General Provisions as to Payments.

(a)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all payments made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.11 and Section 2.12 are subject to the Priority of Payments.

(b)           The Borrower shall make each payment of the principal of and interest on the Loans and fees hereunder, without set-off or counterclaim, by initiating a wire transfer not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time or local time in the principal financial center of the Alternate Currency in question, as applicable) on the date when due, of Federal funds or the applicable Alternate Currency immediately available in New York, New York, or, in the case of any Alternate Currency, the principal financial center of the Alternate Currency in question, to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.1, it being understood that written or facsimile notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent to make a payment from the funds in the Borrower’s account maintained at the Administrative Agent shall constitute the making of such payment to the extent of such funds held in such account.  The Administrative Agent will promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof) distribute to each Bank its ratable share in accordance with the amount of such Bank’s relevant outstanding Loans or Commitment, as the case may be, of each such payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks.  If and to the extent that the Administrative Agent shall receive any such payment for the account of the Banks on or before 11:00 a.m. (New York City time or local time in the principal financial center of the Alternate Currency in question, as applicable) on any Business Day (or Euro-Currency Business Day, as applicable), and the Administrative Agent shall not have distributed to any Bank its applicable share of such payment on such day, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such amount to such Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount should have been distributed to such Bank until the date the Administrative Agent distributes such amount to such

46

Bank, at the Federal Funds Rate with respect to Dollar denominated Loans and at the Administrative Agent’s cost of funds for the applicable Alternate Currency with respect to Alternate Currency Loans.  Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on the Base Rate Loans or Swingline Loans or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day.  Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Euro-Currency Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Euro-Currency Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Euro-Currency Business Day unless such Euro-Currency Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the immediately preceding Euro-Currency Business Day.  If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.  All repayments or prepayments of any Loans, and all interest paid on any Loan (whether regularly scheduled, upon repayment or prepayment or otherwise), hereunder shall be made in the currency in which such Loans are denominated, and all other payments under this Agreement shall, unless otherwise specified herein, be made in Dollars.  Any payment or prepayment of principal made in respect of Term Loans (other than any prepayment of the Multicurrency Revolving/Term Loans (x) during the Multicurrency Revolving Loan Period to the extent a corresponding borrowing is contemplated to be made under the Multicurrency Revolving/Term Commitments or (y) pursuant to Section 2.12(c)) shall be applied on a ratable basis among the Term Loans in proportion to the respective Dollar Equivalent Amount of Term Loans held each Lender; and, if necessary to make any such payments or prepayments ratably to all Term Loan Lenders in the applicable currencies, the Borrower shall, or shall instruct the Administrative Agent to, enter into foreign exchange transactions and the Borrower shall pay any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the relevant currency.

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

Section 2.15. Priority of Payments.  (a) Any payments made by the Borrower pursuant to Sections 2.11 and 2.12 shall be applied to and among the First Priority Credit Agreement, the 2011 Second Priority Credit Agreement and this Agreement as set forth in clauses (b) and (c) below (the provisions of this Section 2.15 are collectively referred to as the “Priority of Payments”).

(b)           Any voluntary prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.11 or the equivalent provisions under the First Priority Credit Agreement or the 2011 Second Priority Credit Agreement shall be applied (1) first, to prepay the loans outstanding under the First Priority Credit Agreement or to reduce the commitments thereunder, (2) second, to prepay the term loans outstanding under the 2011 Second Priority Credit Agreement, and (3) third, to

47

prepay the Term Loans outstanding under this Agreement; provided, however, that if (a) the loans and other obligations outstanding under the First Priority Credit Agreement have been paid in full and the commitments thereunder have been terminated and (b)(i) a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is less than 1.25:1.00 as of the date of determination, then any such voluntary prepayment shall be applied on a pro rata basis as between the term loans outstanding under the 2011 Second Priority Credit Agreement and the Term Loans outstanding under this Agreement; provided further, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall at any time other than when a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, be permitted to prepay or repay revolving credit loans, swingline loans and letter of credit reimbursement obligations outstanding under the Second Priority Bank Facilities and, upon any such prepayment, there shall be no corresponding reduction of the commitments thereunder.

(c)           Any mandatory prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.12(a) or (b) or the equivalent provisions under the First Priority Credit Agreement or the 2011 Second Priority Credit Agreement shall be applied (1) first, to prepay loans outstanding under the First Priority Credit Agreement (provided that if the amount of any such mandatory prepayment is greater than the aggregate principal amount of loans then outstanding under the First Priority Credit Agreement, then the excess amount of such prepayment (after giving effect to the prepayment of all outstanding loans under the First Priority Credit Agreement) shall instead reduce the unused commitments thereunder and such excess amount (in an amount not to exceed the aggregate amount of unused commitments thereunder) shall be placed in escrow at an account maintained at the Administrative Agent), (2) second, to prepay the term loans outstanding under the 2011 Second Priority Credit Agreement, (3) third, to prepay the Term Loans outstanding under this Agreement, (4) fourth, to prepay revolving credit loans, swingline loans and letter of credit reimbursement obligations (and, solely in the case of mandatory prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.12(a), to reduce permanently the revolving credit commitments) outstanding under the 2011 Second Priority Credit Agreement, and (5) fifth, to prepay Revolving Credit Loans, Swingline Loans and Letter of Credit reimbursement obligations (and, solely in the case of mandatory prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.12(a), to reduce permanently the Revolving Credit Commitments) outstanding under this Agreement.

Section 2.16. Funding Losses.  If the Borrower makes any payment of principal with respect to any Euro-Currency Loan (pursuant to Article II, VI or VIII or otherwise) on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or if the Borrower fails to borrow any Euro-Currency Loans after notice has been given to any Bank in accordance with Section 2.5(a), or if the Borrower shall deliver a Notice of Interest Rate Election specifying that a Euro-Currency Loan shall be converted on a date other than the first (1st) day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall reimburse each Bank within 15 days after certification by such Bank of such loss or expense (which shall be delivered by each such Bank to the Administrative Agent for delivery to the Borrower) for any resulting loss (based on interest only, exclusive of fees, if any) or expense incurred by it (or by an existing Participant in the related Loan), including, without limitation, any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, but excluding loss of margin for the period after any such payment or failure to borrow; provided that such Bank shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall have delivered to the Borrower a certification as to the amount of such loss or expense, which certification shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis

48

for and calculation of such loss or expense and shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error.

Section 2.17. Computation of Interest and Fees.  With respect to Base Rate Loans, the rate of interest on which is calculated based on the Prime Rate or for Euro-Currency Loans denominated in British Pounds Sterling hereunder, interest thereon shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or, in the case of interest based on the Prime Rate only, 366 days in a leap year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).  All other interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

Section 2.18. Use of Proceeds.  The Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loans for general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, the origination, acquisition and funding of Loan Assets, Credit Tenant Lease Assets and other investments, the repayment of maturing debt obligations, the repurchase or exchange of public notes of the Borrower, the acquisition of other assets, and for general working capital needs of the Borrower, in each case, in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 2.19. Letters of Credit.

(a)           [Reserved].

(b)           Subject to the terms contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, upon the receipt of a notice in accordance with Section 2.3(b) requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Fronting Bank shall issue a Letter of Credit or Letters of Credit in such form as is reasonably acceptable to the Borrower (subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(b)) in Dollars and in an amount or amounts equal to the amount or amounts requested by the Borrower.

(c)           Each Letter of Credit shall be issued in the minimum amount of $100,000 or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Fronting Bank.

(d)           The Letter of Credit Usage shall be no more than $75,000,000.

(e)           Without the consent of the Administrative Agent, there shall be no more than ten (10) Letters of Credit outstanding at any one time.

(f)            In the event of any request for a drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereunder, the Fronting Bank shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Bank thereof) on the same Business Day as such request for drawing, and, except as provided in this subsection (f), the Borrower shall reimburse the Fronting Bank, in immediately available funds, on the same day on which such drawing is honored in an amount equal to such drawing. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, however, unless the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the Fronting Bank prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of such drawing that the Borrower intends to reimburse the Fronting Bank for the amount of such drawing with funds other than the proceeds of the Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have timely given a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.3

49

to the Administrative Agent, requesting a Base Rate Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans on the date on which such drawing is honored and in an amount equal to the such drawing. Each Bank shall, in accordance with Section 2.5(b), make available its Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Fronting Bank for the amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent Amount of such draw.  In the event that any Bank fails to make available to the Fronting Bank the amount of such Bank’s participation on the date of a drawing, the Fronting Bank shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Bank together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate commencing on the date such drawing is honored.

(g)           If, at the time a beneficiary under any Letter of Credit requests a drawing thereunder, an Event of Default as described in Section 6.1(f) or Section 6.1(g) shall have occurred and is continuing, then on the date on which the Fronting Bank shall have honored such drawing, the Borrower shall have an unreimbursed obligation (the “Unreimbursed Obligation”) to the Fronting Bank in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing, which amount shall bear interest  at the annual rate of the sum of the Base Rate and the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans plus two percent (2%). Each Bank shall purchase an undivided participating interest in such drawing in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and upon receipt thereof the Fronting Bank shall deliver to such Bank an Unreimbursed Obligation participation certificate dated the date of the Fronting Bank’s receipt of such funds and in the amount of such Bank’s Pro Rata Share.

(h)           If, after the date hereof, any change in any law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any court or administrative or governmental authority charged with the administration thereof shall either (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by, or assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or participations in any letter of credit, upon any Bank (including the Fronting Bank) or (ii) impose on any Bank any other condition regarding this Agreement or such Bank (including the Fronting Bank) as it pertains to the Letters of Credit or any participation therein and the result of any event referred to in the preceding clause (i) or (ii) shall be to increase, by an amount deemed by the Fronting Bank or such Bank to be material, the cost to the Fronting Bank or any Bank of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or participating therein, then the Borrower shall pay to the Fronting Bank or such Bank, within 15 days after written demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), which demand shall be accompanied by a certificate showing, in reasonable detail, the calculation of such amount or amounts, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate the Fronting Bank or such Bank for such increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder.  Each Bank will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section 2.19(h) and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.  If such Bank shall fail to notify Borrower of any such event within 90 days following the end of the month during which such event occurred, then Borrower’s liability for any amounts described in this Section incurred by such Bank as a result of such event shall be limited to those attributable to the period occurring subsequent to the ninetieth (90th) day prior to, but excluding, the date upon which such Bank actually notified Borrower of the occurrence of such event.  A certificate

50

of any Bank claiming compensation under this Section 2.19(h) and setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation of the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error.  In determining such amount, such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(i)            The Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save the Fronting Bank harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and disbursements) which the Fronting Bank may incur or be subject to as a result of (i) the issuance of the Letters of Credit, other than to the extent of the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Fronting Bank or (ii) the failure of the Fronting Bank to honor a drawing under any 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 (collectively, “Governmental Acts”), other than to the extent of the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Fronting Bank. As between the Borrower and the Fronting Bank, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of any beneficiary with respect to its use, or misuses of, the Letters of Credit issued by the Fronting Bank.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Fronting Bank shall not be responsible (i) for 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 such Letters of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) for the validity or insufficiency 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) for failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit, other than as a result of the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Fronting Bank; (iv) for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any message, by mail, cable, telegraph, facsimile transmission, or otherwise; (v) for errors in interpretation of any technical terms; (vi) for any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any documents required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) for the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of such Letter of Credit; and (viii) for any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Fronting Bank, including any Government Acts, in each case other than to the extent of the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Fronting Bank. None of the above shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of the Fronting Bank’s rights and powers hereunder.  In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by the Fronting Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or the related certificates, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put the Fronting Bank under any resulting liability to the Borrower; provided that, notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, the Fronting Bank will be liable to the Borrower for any damages suffered by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries as a result of the Fronting Bank’s grossly negligent or willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a sight draft and certificates strictly in compliance with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit.

(j)            If the Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent is required at any time, pursuant to any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or reorganization law or otherwise, to return

51

to the Borrower any reimbursement by the Borrower of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, each Bank shall pay to the Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, its Pro Rata Share of such payment, but without interest thereon unless the Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent is required to pay interest on such amounts to the person recovering such payment, in which case with interest thereon, computed at the same rate, and on the same basis, as the interest that the Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent is required to pay.

Section 2.20. Letter of Credit Usage Absolute.  The obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement in respect of any Letter of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (as the same may be amended from time to time) and any Letter of Credit Documents (as hereinafter defined) under all circumstances, including, without limitation, to the extent permitted by law, the following circumstances:

(a)           any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (collectively, the “Letter of Credit Documents”) or any Loan Document;

(b)           any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the obligations of the Borrower in respect of the Letters of Credit or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent by the Borrower to departure from all or any of the Letter of Credit Documents or any Loan Document; provided, that the Fronting Bank shall not consent to any such change or amendment unless previously consented to in writing by the Borrower;

(c)           any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the obligations of the Borrower in respect of the Letters of Credit;

(d)           the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of a Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Bank or any Bank (other than a defense based on the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, the Fronting Bank or such Bank) or any other Person, whether in connection with the Loan Documents, the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Letters of Credit Documents or any unrelated transaction;

(e)           any draft or any other document presented under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or other Loan Document proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; provided, that payment by the Fronting Bank under such Letter of Credit against presentation of such draft or document shall not have been the result of the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Fronting Bank;

(f)            payment by the Fronting Bank against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit; provided, that such payment

52

shall not have been the result of the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Fronting Bank; and

(g)           any other circumstance or happening whatsoever other than the payment in full of all obligations hereunder in respect of any Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating to any Letter of Credit, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower; provided, that such other circumstance or happening shall not have been the result of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Fronting Bank.

Section 2.21. Letters of Credit Maturing after the Maturity Date.

(a)           Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if any Letters of Credit, by their terms, shall mature after the Maturity Date (as the same may be extended), then, on and after the Maturity Date, the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with respect to such Letters of Credit, and the Borrower shall comply with the provisions of Section 2.21(b).  No Letter of Credit shall mature on a date that is more than twelve (12) months after the Maturity Date.

(b)           If, at any time and from time to time, any Letter of Credit shall have been issued hereunder and the same shall expire on a date after the Maturity Date, then, on the issuance thereof, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Banks, in same day funds at the Administrative Agent’s office designated in such demand, for deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, Letter of Credit Collateral in an amount equal to the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit as of such date of determination; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any “evergreen” Letter of Credit unless (i) its initial expiration date is after the Maturity Date or (ii) such Letter of Credit is renewed and, as a result thereof, the next expiry date or the following renewal date is scheduled on a date after the Maturity Date; and, provided, further, however, that the maximum amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit cash collateralized as required by this sentence shall be disregarded for purposes of determining compliance with the Coverage Ratio.  Interest shall accrue on the Letter of Credit Collateral Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.4.

Section 2.22. Payments.  If any Bank shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(iii), 2.4(b)(iv), 2.5(d), 2.19(f), 2.19(g) or 7.6, then the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or the Fronting Bank for the account of such Bank to satisfy such Bank’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid; and if such Bank shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to any equivalent provision under either the 2011 Second Priority Credit Agreement or the First Priority Credit Agreement and there are no such unsatisfied obligations hereunder, then the Administrative Agent may apply any such amounts received by it for the account of such Bank to satisfy such Bank’s obligations under the equivalent provisions under either the 2011 Second Priority Credit Agreement or the First Priority Credit Agreement (or, in the event the institution serving as Administrative Agent hereunder is not, at such time, the same institution serving as

53

administrative agent under either the 2011 Second Priority Credit Agreement or the First Priority Credit Agreement, turn over such amounts to the applicable administrative agent under the 2011 Second Priority Credit Agreement or the First Priority Credit Agreement to be applied for such purposes).

Section 2.23. Collateral.  (a)  The Obligations shall be secured by a perfected second priority security interest in the Collateral, subject only to the first priority Lien granted pursuant to the Security Agreement for the benefit of the First Priority Secured Parties.  The Borrower shall be entitled to withdraw Collateral in inverse order of the ranking of such Collateral on the Pledged Collateral List (it being understood that any asset so withdrawn shall be automatically included in the Listed Eligible Assets as the highest ranked asset (and the list shall be adjusted accordingly)) so long as, both immediately before and after giving effect to such withdrawal, (i) no Material Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or shall result therefrom) and (ii) except for any such withdrawal which the Borrower reasonably determines is necessary for compliance with any covenant applicable under the terms of any Indebtedness of the Borrower as in effect on the Closing Date relating to the maintenance of “Total Unencumbered Assets” (or any similar concept), the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio at the time of such withdrawal is at least 1.25 to 1.00.  Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Section 2.23, Non-Performing Loan Assets and Other Real Estate Owned Assets that are disregarded in calculating the aggregate Borrowing Base Value as provided in the definition of “Borrowing Base Value” may, so long as no Material Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or shall result therefrom), be withdrawn, at the option of the Borrower, to the extent of any amount so disregarded; provided that at the time of such withdrawal of any such assets, the Joint Lead Arrangers shall have the right, but not the obligation, to rank such assets as Listed Eligible Assets.  Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Section 2.23, (x) the Borrower shall be entitled to withdraw Collateral in connection with payment or prepayment of such Collateral and (y) the Borrower shall be permitted to withdraw such Collateral in connection with sales to third parties or a monetization (that is not a payment or prepayment) (any such  monetization or sale, a “Third Party Sale”) provided that in connection with any such Third Party Sale and after giving effect to such Third Party Sale and the prior addition (a “Collateral Addition”) of any replacement Collateral (which replacement Collateral shall comprise the highest ranked Listed Eligible Assets immediately prior to such replacement and the lowest ranked Collateral on the Pledged Collateral List immediately following such replacement), either (I) no Material Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (II) a Material Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, but such Third Party Sale is consummated pursuant to a binding commitment entered into at a time that no Material Default or Event of Default had occurred and was continuing or would have resulted therefrom (it being understood that the proceeds of any such transaction described in clause (x) or (y) above shall be paid into the accounts established pursuant to Section 5.8).  At such time as any Listed Eligible Assets are required to be pledged as Collateral in order to comply with the terms hereof, the Borrower shall (i) cause a sufficient amount of the highest ranked Listed Eligible Assets to be transferred to a Collateral SPV and (ii) take any other actions as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Trustee may reasonably request for the purposes of fully perfecting or renewing the rights and security interests of the Collateral Trustee, on behalf of the Banks, with respect to the Collateral.

In addition to Collateral withdrawals otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, promissory notes and related transfer documents, if any, constituting part of any Collateral (and any related collateral) if requested by the Borrower at any time prior to the commencement of a Foreclosure (as defined in the Collateral Trust Agreement) in respect thereof, shall be released by the Collateral Trustee to the custody of the Borrower, the applicable Grantor or its agents in escrow pending any enforcement action, exercise of rights or other customary actions in lieu of enforcement or for the purpose of correction of defects, if any, in each case in respect of any such promissory notes and related collateral.  It is understood and agreed that any Collateral released pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall remain Collateral except in connection with a withdrawal otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(b)           Beginning on October 15, 2009 and on each April 15th and October 15th thereafter (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next following Business Day), the Joint Lead Arrangers shall (i) in consultation with Barclays Bank PLC, Wachovia Bank, National Association and Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch (in each case so long as it shall be a Bank under this Agreement or either of the New Credit Agreements) (each, a “Consulting Bank”) undertake a review to determine if any re-ranking of the Listed Eligible Assets and/or the Pledged Collateral List is appropriate, and (ii) if any such re-ranking is appropriate, undertake such re-ranking, in their sole and absolute discretion, in consultation with the Consulting Banks.  In connection with any such re-ranking, the Borrower shall cooperate with the Joint Lead Arrangers in any diligence, including providing information related to the Collateral and the Listed Eligible Assets, reasonably requested by the Joint Lead Arrangers for purposes of such re-ranking.  Each inclusion of assets in the Collateral shall be in the order of the then-current ranking of Listed Eligible Assets and, following inclusion, such assets shall constitute the lowest ranked Collateral on the Pledged Collateral List.  Any increase in the funding of any asset included in the Collateral or Listed Eligible Assets shall be considered part of such asset and shall be included in the Borrowing Base Value thereof.

(c)           Any newly originated or acquired assets or assets that become available that were previously pledged or mortgaged as collateral in connection with the DB Master Repurchase Agreement or the GE Credit Tenant Lease Facility that qualify as Eligible Assets shall be automatically included in the Listed Eligible Assets (and the Joint Lead Arrangers may, in consultation with the Consulting Banks,  re-rank the Listed Eligible Assets in connection therewith, in consultation with the Consulting Banks).  Any Fremont Asset that qualifies as an Eligible Asset, immediately as of the time it is no longer subject to the Fremont Participation Agreement, shall be automatically included in the Listed Eligible Assets.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at the time any Fremont Assets are added to Listed Eligible Assets and once the Joint Lead Arrangers have been afforded a reasonable opportunity to rank such assets, in consultation with the Consulting Banks, in a special one-time reranking of Listed Eligible Assets (the “Special Fremont Reranking”), the Joint Lead Arrangers may effect substitutions of the Collateral with any Listed Eligible Assets.

Section 2.24. Mortgages.  The Borrower shall cause the applicable Pledged Collateral LLCs to execute and deliver to the Collateral Trustee, not later than 90 days after the Closing Date, Mortgages with respect to real properties that constitute Credit Tenant Lease Assets owned by such Pledged Collateral LLCs comprising not less than 50% of the Borrowing

55

Base Value of all Mortgage Eligible Assets; provided that (i) Mortgages shall not be required to be delivered with respect to any Mortgage-Exempt Asset, (ii) the Mortgaged Properties, at any time, shall be comprised of the highest ranked Mortgage-Eligible Assets from the Pledged Collateral List in effect at the time of the delivery of the Mortgage in respect of each Mortgaged Property (it being understood that no Mortgage will be required to be delivered solely because of a re-ranking of the Listed Eligible Assets and/or the Pledged Collateral List), and (iii) each Mortgage required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 2.24 shall secure 50% of the undepreciated book value of the applicable Credit Tenant Lease Asset (reflecting any impairment taken by the applicable Collateral LLC but without adding back any depreciation before the most recent such impairment) at the time such Mortgage is entered in to.  Following the date that is 90 days after the Closing Date, the Borrower shall cause Mortgages in compliance with this Section 2.24 to be delivered as necessary so that at all times the Mortgaged Properties shall comprise not less than 50% of the Borrowing Base Value of all Mortgage-Eligible Assets.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.24, neither the Borrower nor any Grantor shall be required to deliver environmental reports, third-party reports, appraisals, surveys, title insurance policies, tract searches or legal opinions in respect of any Mortgaged Property or Mortgage thereon.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

In order to induce the Administrative Agent and each of the other Banks which is or may become a party to this Agreement to make the Loans and/or issue or participate in Letters of Credit, the Borrower makes the following representations and warranties as of the Closing Date and, in accordance with Section 3.2(f) hereof, as of each Borrowing or issuance of a Letter of Credit.  Such representations and warranties shall survive the effectiveness of this Agreement, the execution and delivery of the other Loan Documents and the making of the Loans.

Section 4.1.

60

or as it presently proposes to conduct and has been duly qualified and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified and/or in good standing is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Power and Authority.  Each of the Loan Parties has the requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and has taken all necessary action, if any, to authorize the execution and delivery on its behalf and its performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party.  Each of the Loan Parties has duly executed and delivered each Loan Document (or with respect to any Mortgage, will duly execute and deliver at the time such Mortgage is required to be executed and delivered in accordance with Section 2.24) to which it is a party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and each such Loan Document constitutes (or, upon execution and delivery thereof, will constitute) its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable in accordance with the terms thereof, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable insolvency, bankruptcy or other similar laws affecting creditors rights generally, or general principles of equity, whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

Section 4.3. No Violation.  Neither the execution, delivery or performance by or on behalf of any Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, nor compliance by any such Loan Party with the terms and provisions thereof nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such Loan Documents, (i) will materially contravene any applicable provision of any law, statute, rule, regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, (ii) will materially conflict with or result in any breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien (other than Liens created under the Collateral Documents) upon any of the property or assets of the Borrower or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, or other agreement or other instrument to which the Borrower (or any partnership of which the Borrower is a partner) or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its property or assets is bound or to which it is subject (except for such breaches and defaults under loan agreements which the lenders thereunder have agreed to forbear pursuant to valid forbearance agreements), or (iii) will cause a material default by any Loan Party under any organizational document of any Person in which such Loan Party has an interest, or cause a material default under such Person’s agreement or certificate of limited partnership, the consequences of which conflict, contravention, breach or default under the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) would (x) have a Material Adverse Effect (provided, however, that for purposes of determining whether the consequences of a conflict, contravention, breach or default under clause (ii) of this Section 4.3 would have a Material Adverse Effect, clause (ii) of the definition of the term “Material Adverse Effect” shall be modified to read as follows: “(ii) the ability of the Administrative Agent or the Banks to enforce the Loan Documents in a manner that materially and adversely affects the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Banks thereunder”), or (y) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien whatsoever upon any Property (except as contemplated herein).

Section 4.4. Financial Information.  (a) The consolidated financial statements of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008, and for the Fiscal Year

then ended, reported on by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP fairly presents, in conformity with GAAP, the consolidated financial position of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for such Fiscal Year.

(b)           Since December 31, 2008, (i) except as may have been disclosed in writing to the Banks prior to the Closing Date, nothing has occurred having a Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) except (x) as set forth on Schedule 4.4(b) and (y) for the incurrence of Loans hereunder and loans under the Existing Credit Agreements and the 2011 Second Priority Credit Agreement and the First Priority Credit Agreement, in each case on the Closing Date, the Loan Parties have not incurred any material Indebtedness or guaranteed any Indebtedness on or before the Closing Date.

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

Section 4.6. Compliance with ERISA.  (a) Except as set forth on Schedule 4.6(a) attached hereto, neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party is a member of or has entered into, maintained, contributed to, or been required to contribute to, or may incur any liability with respect to any Plan or Multiemployer Plan.  In the event that at any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall become a member of any other material Plan or Multiemployer Plan, the Borrower promptly shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof (and from and after such notice, Schedule 4.6(a) shall be deemed modified thereby).

(b)           No assets of the Borrower or any other Loan Party constitute “assets” (within the meaning of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, including, but not limited to, 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101 or any successor regulation thereto) of an “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA or a “plan” within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code.  In addition to the prohibitions set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and not in limitation thereof, the Borrower covenants and agrees that the Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any other Loan Party to, use any “assets” (within the meaning of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, including but not limited to 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3101) of an “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA or a “plan” within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code to repay or secure the Note, the Loan, or the Obligations.

Section 4.7. Environmental.  (a)  The Borrower conducts reviews of the effect of Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries when necessary in the course of which it identifies and evaluates associated liabilities and costs (including, without limitation, any capital or operating expenditures required for clean-up or closure of properties presently owned, any capital or operating expenditures required to achieve or maintain compliance with environmental

62

protection standards imposed by law or as a condition of any license, permit or contract, any related constraints on operating activities, and any actual or potential liabilities to third parties, including, without limitation, employees, and any related costs and expenses).  On the basis of this review, the Borrower has reasonably concluded that such associated liabilities and costs, including, without limitation, the costs of compliance with Environmental Laws, are unlikely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b)           Except as, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: (i) neither the Borrower nor any Guarantors has received any notice of violation, alleged violation, non-compliance, liability or potential liability regarding environmental matters or compliance with Environmental Laws with regard to any of the facilities and properties owned, leased or operated by the Borrower or any Guarantors (the “Properties”) or the business operated by the Borrower or any Guarantor (the “Business”) that is not fully and finally resolved, (ii) to the Borrower’s actual knowledge, after due inquiry, no judicial proceeding or governmental or administrative action is pending or, to the Borrower’s actual knowledge, after due inquiry, threatened, under any Environmental Law to which the Borrower or any Guarantor is or will be named as a party with respect to the Properties or the Business, nor are there any consent decrees or other decrees, consent orders, administrative orders or other orders, or other administrative or judicial requirements outstanding under any Environmental Law with respect to the Business; and (iii) to the Borrower’s actual knowledge, the Properties and all operations at the Properties are in compliance, and have in the last five years been in compliance, with all applicable Environmental Laws, and there is no contamination at, under or about the Properties or violation of any Environmental Law with respect to the Properties or the Business.

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

Section 4.9. Full Disclosure.  All information heretofore furnished by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Bank for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby is true and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such information is stated or certified; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Borrower represents and warrants only that such information represents the Borrower’s expectations regarding future performance, based upon historical information and reasonable assumptions, it being understood, however, that actual results may differ from the projected results described in the financial projections.  The Borrower has disclosed to the Administrative Agent, in writing any and all facts which have or may have (to the extent the Borrower can now reasonably foresee) a Material Adverse Effect.

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

nor any other Loan Party is in default in any material respect beyond any applicable grace period under or with respect to any other material agreement, instrument or undertaking to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound in any respect, the existence of which default is likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Best policyholders’ rating of not less than A-/VII at the time of issuance or extension of any such coverage policy in amounts no less than customarily carried by owners of properties similar to,

65

and in the same locations as, the Loan Parties’ Real Property Assets; provided, however, that the foregoing A.M. Best policyholders’ rating requirement shall not be required for (a) such insurance as tenants of Credit Tenant Lease Assets and Other Real Estate Owned Assets are permitted or required pursuant to applicable leases to obtain or maintain, (b) exposure under existing insurance policies (but not renewals of any such policies) to ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, in a Lloyds Syndicate in an amount not to exceed $20,000,000 and (c) liability and casualty insurance policies issued after the Closing Date on Real Property Assets constituting not more than 5.0% of all Real Property Assets owned by the Loan Parties with insurers having an A.M.

(b)           The Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants to the Administrative Agent, as administrative agent for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Banks a lien on and a security interest in, the following collateral (the “Letter of Credit Collateral”):

82

(i)                    the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, all cash deposited therein and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time representing or evidencing the Letter of Credit Collateral Account;

(iii)                  all interest, dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the then existing Letter of Credit Collateral; and

(iv)                  to the extent not covered by the above clauses, all proceeds of any or all of the foregoing Letter of Credit Collateral.

The lien and security interest granted hereby secures the payment of all Obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing hereunder and under any other Loan Document.

(c)           The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Banks to apply, from time to time after funds are deposited in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and for so long as an Acceleration Event has occurred and in continuing, funds then held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account to the payment of any amounts, in such order as the Administrative Agent may elect, as shall have become due and payable by the Borrower to the Banks in respect of the Letters of Credit.

(d)          Neither the Borrower nor any Person claiming or acting on behalf of or through the Borrower shall have any right to withdraw any of the funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, except as provided in Section 6.4(h) hereof.

(e)           The Borrower agrees that it will not (i) sell or otherwise dispose of any interest in the Letter of Credit Collateral or (ii) create or permit to exist any lien, security interest or other charge or encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the Letter of Credit Collateral, except for the security interest created by this Section 6.4.

(f)           If any Acceleration Event shall have occurred and be continuing:

(i)                    The Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, without notice to the Borrower except as required by law and at any time from time to time, charge, set off or otherwise apply all or any part of first, (x) amounts previously drawn on any Letter of Credit that have not been reimbursed by the Borrower and (y) any Letter of Credit Usage described in clause (ii) of the definition thereof that are then due and payable and second, any other unpaid Obligations then due and payable against the Letter of Credit Collateral Account or any part thereof, in such order as the Administrative Agent shall elect. The rights of the Administrative Agent under this Section 6.4 are in addition to any rights and remedies which any Bank may have.

83

(ii)                   The Administrative Agent may also exercise, in its sole discretion, in respect of the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York at that time.

(g)          The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Letter of Credit Collateral if the Letter of Credit Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property, it being understood that, assuming such treatment, the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility or liability with respect thereto.

(h)          Any surplus of the funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and remaining after payment in full of all of the Obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under any other Loan Document after the Maturity Date shall be paid promptly to the Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

Section 6.5. Distribution of Proceeds after Default.  Subject to the provisions of the Collateral Trust Agreement and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, from and after an Event of Default, to the extent proceeds are received by the Administrative Agent, such proceeds shall be distributed to the Banks pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal amount of the Loans and Letter of Credit reimbursement obligations (giving effect to any participations granted therein pursuant to Section 2.4, Section 2.19 and Section 9.6).

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

Section 7.6. Indemnification.  Each Bank shall, ratably in accordance with its undrawn Commitment and Loans outstanding, indemnify the Agents and their affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including, without limitation, counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such

85

indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) that such indemnitee may suffer or incur in connection with its duties as Agent under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitee hereunder.  In the event that any Agent shall, subsequent to its receipt of indemnification payment(s) from Banks in accordance with this section, recoup any amount from the Borrower, or any other party liable therefor in connection with such indemnification, such Agent shall reimburse the Banks which previously made the payment(s) pro rata, based upon the actual amounts which were theretofore paid by each Bank.  Each Agent shall reimburse such Banks so entitled to reimbursement within two (2) Business Days of its receipt of such funds from the Borrower or such other party liable therefor.

Section 7.7. Credit Decision.  Each Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under this Agreement.

Section 7.8. Successor Agent.  The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Banks and the Borrower.  Upon any such resignation, the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which successor Administrative Agent shall; provided no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks and approved by the Borrower, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be the Administrative Agent, who shall act until the Required Banks shall appoint an Administrative Agent.  Any appointment of a successor Administrative Agent by Required Banks or the retiring Administrative Agent, pursuant to the preceding sentence shall; provided no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder.  After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent.  For gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by all the Banks (excluding for such determination the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as a Bank), the Administrative Agent may be removed at any time by giving at least thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.  Such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the acceptance of appointment by a successor Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.8.

Section 7.9. Consents and Approvals.  All communications from the Administrative Agent to the Banks requesting the Banks’ determination, consent, approval or

86

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

ARTICLE VIII

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

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

Section 8.2. Illegality.  If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Euro-Currency Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) made after the Closing Date of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful for any Bank (or its Euro-Currency Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund its Euro-Currency Loans in a particular currency, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Banks and the Borrower, whereupon until such Bank notifies the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that the

87

circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Bank in the case of the event described above to make Euro-Currency Loans in such currency, shall be suspended. With respect to Euro-Currency Loans, before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.2, such Bank shall designate a different Euro-Currency Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, be otherwise commercially disadvantageous to such Bank.

If at any time, it shall be unlawful for any Bank to make, maintain or fund any of its Euro-Currency Loans, the Borrower shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to either (x) cause a bank, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, to offer to purchase the Loans and/or Commitments of such Bank for an amount equal to such Bank’s outstanding Loans and/or Commitments, together with accrued and unpaid interest and fees thereon and all other amounts due to such Bank are concurrently therewith paid in full to such Bank, and to become a Bank hereunder, or obtain the agreement of one or more existing Banks to offer to purchase the Loans and/or Commitments of such Bank for such amount, which offer such Bank is hereby required to accept, or (y) to repay in full all Loans then outstanding of such Bank, together with interest due thereon and any and all fees and other amounts due hereunder, upon which event, such Bank’s Commitments shall be deemed to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.11(d).

Section 8.3. Increased Cost and Reduced Return.

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

88

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

(c)           Each Bank will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Bank shall fail to notify the Borrower of any such event within ninety (90) days following the end of the month during which such event occurred, then the Borrower’s liability for any amounts described in this Section incurred by such Bank as a result of such event shall be limited to those attributable to the period occurring subsequent to the ninetieth (90th) day prior to, but excluding, the date upon which such Bank actually notified the Borrower of the occurrence of such event. A certificate of any Bank claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation of the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error.  In determining such amount, such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

(d)           If at any time, any Bank has demanded compensation pursuant to this Section 8.3, the Borrower shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent to either (x) cause a Qualified Institution, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, to offer to purchase the Commitments of such Bank for an amount equal to such Bank’s outstanding Loans plus accrued interest, fees and other amounts due to such Bank, and to become a Bank hereunder, or to obtain the agreement of one or more existing Banks to offer to purchase the Commitments of such Bank for such amount, which offer such Bank is hereby required to accept, or (y) to repay in full all Loans then outstanding of such Bank, together with interest and all other amounts due thereon, upon which event, such Bank’s Commitment shall be deemed to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.11(d).

Section 8.4. Taxes.

(a)           Any and all payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free

89

and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Bank and the Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Bank, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise or similar taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of such Bank’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof or by any other jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) as a result of a present or former connection between such Bank or the Administrative Agent and such other jurisdiction or by the United States, except to the extent that such connection would not have arisen but for entering into the transactions contemplated hereby (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Non-Excluded Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Non-Excluded Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note or Letter of Credit, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including, without limitation, deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 8.4) such Bank, the Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.1, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

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

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

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

90

shall be made within 15 days from the date such Bank, the Fronting Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes demand therefor.

(e)           Each Bank or the Administrative Agent that is a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Bank and the Administrative Agent listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Bank or the Administrative Agent in the case of each other Bank or the Administrative Agent, shall provide the Borrower with two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service and shall provide the Borrower with two further copies of any such form on or before the date any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered to the Borrower.  Each Bank and the Administrative Agent that is not a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Bank and the Administrative Agent listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Bank or the Administrative Agent in the case of each other Bank or the Administrative Agent, shall provide the Borrower with two duly completed copies of an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, as applicable to such Bank or the Administrative Agent, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, and shall provide the Borrower with two further copies of any such form on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower.  A Bank that provides copies of the Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN and that is legally entitled to claim the portfolio interest exemption pursuant to Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), shall further provide the Borrower with, together with such Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, a written confirmation of its entitlement to such exemption.  To the extent that it is legally entitled to do so, a Bank shall properly claim that such Bank is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces the rate of, or eliminates, withholding tax on payments of interest hereunder.  A Bank that is not a United States person and that grants a participating interest in a Loan or Commitment to any other person shall provide, in addition to its own forms specified above, the Borrower with two duly completed copies of the Internal Revenue Service form applicable to such other person, each under the cover of an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and a withholding statement prepared in the manner prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, or such other forms and/or certificates that it is legally entitled to provide evidencing such participant’s entitlement to any exemption from, or reduction in the rate of U.S. withholding tax, and shall provide the Borrower with two further copies of any such forms and statements on or before the date any such forms or statements expire or become obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or statement previously delivered to the Borrower.  If a Bank fails to timely and properly provide or update such forms or statements or if the form or statement provided by a Bank at the time such Bank first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States withholding tax rate in excess of zero, then backup withholding or withholding tax resulting from the foregoing shall be considered excluded from “Non-Excluded Taxes” as defined in Section 8.4(a).

(f)            Upon reasonable demand by, and at the expense of, the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Bank, the Administrative Agent or Bank, as the case may be, shall

91

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

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

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

(i)            If at any time, any Bank has demanded compensation pursuant to Section 8.3 or Section 8.4 or the obligation of such Bank of make Euro-Currency Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.2, in any such case, the Borrower shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent to either (x) cause a Qualified Institution, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, to offer to purchase the Commitments of such Bank for an amount equal to such Bank’s outstanding Loans plus accrued interest, fees and other amounts due to such Bank, and to become a Bank hereunder, or to obtain the agreement of one or more existing Banks to offer to purchase the Commitments of such Bank for such amount, which offer such Bank is hereby required to accept, or (y) to repay in full all Loans then outstanding of such Bank, together with interest and all other amounts due thereon, upon which event, such Bank’s Commitment shall be deemed to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.11(d).

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

92

(a)           the Borrower shall be deemed to have delivered a Notice of Interest Rate Election with respect to such affected Euro-Currency Loans and thereafter all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Bank to the Borrower as Euro-Currency Loans shall be made instead as Base Rate Loans and no Borrowing from such Bank would take effect with respect to Alternate Currency Loans; and

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

(c)           the Borrower will not be required to make any payment which would otherwise be required by Section 2.16 with respect to such Euro-Currency Loans converted to Base Rate Loans pursuant to clause (a) above.

Sharing of Set-Offs.  In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Bank is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Bank (including, without limitation, by branches, agencies and Affiliates of such Bank wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and on account of the Obligations of the Borrower then due and payable to such Bank under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all interests in Obligations purchased by such Bank.  Each Bank agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to any Loan made by it or Letter of Credit participated in by it or, in the case of the Fronting Bank, Letter of Credit issued by it, which is greater than the proportion received by any other Bank or Letter of Credit issued or participated in by such other Bank, the Bank receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase such participations in the Loans made by the other Banks, and such other adjustments shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments of principal and interest with respect to the Loans made by the Banks or Letter of Credit issued or participated in by such other Bank shall be shared by the Banks pro rata; provided that nothing in this Section shall impair the right of any Bank to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have to any deposits not received in connection with the Loans and to apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of the Borrower other than its indebtedness under the Loans or the Letters of Credit.  The Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any holder of a participation in a Commitment, a Loan or a Letter of Credit, whether or not acquired pursuant to the foregoing arrangements, may exercise rights of set-off or counterclaim and other rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,

95

any Bank may, by separate agreement with the Borrower, waive its right to set off contained herein or granted by law and any such written waiver shall be effective against such Bank under this Section 9.4.

Section 9.5. Amendments and Waivers.

(a)   Any provision of this Agreement or the Notes or the Letters of Credit or other Loan Documents may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Borrower and the Required Banks (and, if the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender in their respective capacity as the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, as applicable are affected thereby, by the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender, as applicable); provided that (A) the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of Borrower only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any other Loan Document in connection with the addition or substitution of Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in each case, which amendment, modification or supplement does not adversely affect the rights of any Bank, (B) no amendment or waiver with respect to this Agreement, the Notes, the Letters of Credit or any other Loan Document shall, unless signed by each Bank directly affected thereby, (i) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan or any Letter of Credit reimbursement obligation or any fees hereunder, (ii) postpone, whether through forbearance or otherwise, the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan or any Letter of Credit reimbursement obligation or any fees hereunder or for any reduction or termination of any Commitment, (iii) reduce the percentage specified in the definition of “Required Banks” or “Super-Majority Banks” or otherwise change the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans, or the number of Banks, which shall be required for the Banks or any of them to take any action under this Section or any other provision of this Agreement or any Collateral Document, (iv) release any Guarantor under the Guarantees (except as expressly permitted by the Guarantees or this Agreement) or release any Collateral under the Collateral Documents (except as expressly permitted by the Collateral Documents or this Agreement), (v) release any Letter of Credit Collateral, (vi) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.12, (vii) amend, modify or waive the definition of “Pro Rata Share” or any other provision that provides for the ratable or pro rata nature of disbursements by or payments to Banks; provided that only the consent of the Required Banks shall be necessary for any such amendment, modification or waiver of the minimum Discount referred to in Section 2.13, (viii) modify the provisions of this Section 9.5 or (ix) increase, extend or restate the Commitment of any Bank or subject any Bank to any additional obligation and (C) no amendment or waiver with respect to this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document shall, unless signed by the Super-Majority Banks, (i) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 5.17, (ii) amend, modify or waive the definitions of “Borrowing Base Value”, “Collateral”, “Coverage Ratio”, “Coverage Test” or any component definition of any of the foregoing if such amendment, modification or waiver is intended to have the effect of making more credit available or to reduce the collateral coverage therefor, (iii) amend, modify or waive the definition of “Principal Collateral Payment Event” or any component definition thereof, (iv) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.15 in any manner adverse to the Banks, (v) approve the incurrence of any security interests senior to, or pari passu with, the Liens securing the Obligations hereunder or (vi) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 8 of the Collateral Trust Agreement or Section 3.4 of the Collateral Trust Agreement, in each case in any manner adverse to the Banks.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no

96

Defaulting Bank shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that (x) the Commitment of such Defaulting Bank may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Defaulting Bank and (y) the interest rate or fees due to such Defaulting Bank shall not be reduced (it being understood that any Commitments or Loans held or deemed held by any Defaulting Bank shall be excluded for purposes of making a determination of Required Banks pursuant to this Section 9.5).

(b)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by each Bank to enter into any amendment to or modification of the Collateral Trust Agreement in connection with the issuance of any Second Priority Exchange Notes or Junior Priority Secured Exchange Notes solely to the extent necessary to effect such amendments as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, in connection with any such issuance expressly permitted hereunder (including any such amendment contemplated by Section 6.3(c) or (d) of the Collateral Trust Agreement), so long as such amendment or modification does not adversely affect the rights of any Bank.

(c)   The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Bank, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Bank.  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 any Loan Party in any case shall entitle any Loan Party 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 Section 9.5 shall be binding upon each Bank at the time outstanding, each future Bank and, if signed by a Loan Party, on such Loan Party.

Section 9.6. Successors and Assigns.

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

(b)           Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, any Bank may at any time, grant to a then existing Bank or any Affiliate thereof, one or more banks, finance companies, insurance companies or other financial institutions or trusts (a “Participant”) participating interests in its Commitment or any or all of its Loans.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any Bank may at any time grant to any Person in any amount (also a “Participant”), participating interests in its Commitment or any or all of its Loans.  Any participation made during the continuation of an Event of Default shall not be affected by the subsequent cure of such Event of Default.  In the event of any such grant by a Bank of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, such Bank shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this

97

Agreement.  Any agreement pursuant to which any Bank may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that such participation agreement may provide that such Bank will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement described in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of Section 9.5(a)(B) without the consent of the Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall, to the extent provided in its participation agreement, be entitled to the benefits of Article VIII with respect to its participating interest.

(c)           Any Bank may at any time assign to a Qualified Institution (in each case, an “Assignee”) (i) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, in minimum amounts of not less than $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 thereafter (or any lesser amount in the case of assignments to an existing Bank or any Affiliate thereof or in the case of an assignment of all of a Bank’s (x) Revolving Credit Commitment and Multicurrency Revolving/Term Loans (including, during the Multicurrency Revolving Loan Period, its Multicurrency Revolving/Term Loan Commitment) or (y) Dollar Term Loans and (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in any amount, all or a proportionate part of all (but subject to the next succeeding sentence), of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents, and, in either case, such Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations, pursuant to a Transfer Supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit I hereto executed by such Assignee and such transferor Bank; provided, that if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such assignment shall be subject to the Administrative Agent’s, the Fronting Bank’s (if a Person other than the Administrative Agent and if the assignment involves any Revolving Credit Commitment) and the Borrower’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and provided further that if an Assignee is an Affiliate of such transferor Bank or was a Bank or Affiliate thereof immediately prior to such assignment, no such consent shall be required from the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or the Fronting Bank.  Any assignment involving a Revolving Credit Commitment (or any Revolving Credit Loans or Letter of Credit Usage) or any Multicurrency Revolving/Term Loans of any Bank (or, during the Multicurrency Revolving Loan Period, any of the Multicurrency Revolving/Term Loan Commitment of such Bank) shall be made jointly in ratable portions of the Revolving Credit Commitment and Multicurrency Revolving/Term Loans (or, during the Multicurrency Revolving Loan Period, any of the Multicurrency Revolving/Term Loan Commitment of such Bank)of such Bank (including ratable portions of its Multicurrency Loans in British Pounds Sterling, Canadian Dollars, Euros and Dollars).  Upon execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Bank of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Bank and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be a Bank party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Bank with a Commitment as set forth in such instrument of assumption, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required and the transferor Bank shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection (c), the transferor Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if requested or required, a new Note is issued to the Assignee upon the return to the Borrower of the old Note, if any, marked “cancelled”.  In connection with any such assignment (other than an assignment by a Bank to an affiliate), the transferor Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of

98

$3,500.  If the Assignee is not organized under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof, it shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent certification as to exemption from deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes in accordance with Section 8.4.  Any assignment made during the continuation of an Event of Default shall not be invalidated by any subsequent cure of such Event of Default.

(d)           Any Bank may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and its Note and the Letter(s) of Credit participated in by such Bank or, in the case of the Fronting Bank, issued by it, to a Federal Reserve Bank.  No such assignment shall release the transferor Bank from its obligations hereunder.

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

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

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

(h)           The Administrative Agent shall maintain on behalf of the Borrower a register of the names, addresses and contact information of the Banks and each of their assignees, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans and interest owing to, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time.

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

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