2.10                        Repayment.

(a)                                 [Reserved].

(b)                                 The Borrower shall repay to the Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding on such date.

2.11                        Interest.

(a)                                 Each Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable Borrowing Date at a rate per annum equal to 11.50%.

(b)                                 Interest on each Loan shall be paid in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and on the Maturity Date.  During the existence of any Event of Default, interest on all Loans shall be paid on demand of the Agent at the request or with the consent of the Required Lenders.

(c)                                  Notwithstanding Section 2.11(a), (i) while an Event of Default under Section 9.01(a) exists, (ii) upon the request of the Required Lenders while any other Event of Default exists or (iii) after acceleration, the Borrower shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by law) on the principal amount of all outstanding Loans, at a rate per annum determined by adding 2.00% per annum to the interest rate otherwise then in effect for such Loans.

(d)                                 Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Borrower to any Lender hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required for any period for which interest is computed hereunder to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by such Lender would be contrary to the provisions of any law applicable to such Lender limiting the highest rate of interest that may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received

29

by such Lender, and in such event the Borrower shall pay such Lender interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable law.

2.12                        Fees.

(a)                                 Agency Fees.  The Borrower shall pay the Agent such fees as are required by the Administrative Agent Fee Letter or as otherwise agreed to by the Borrower and the Agent from time to time in connection herewith.  Such fees shall be fully earned when paid.

(b)                                 [Reserved].

2.13                        Computation of Fees and Interest.

(a)                                 All computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more interest being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year).  Interest and fees shall accrue during each period during which interest or such fees are computed from the first day thereof to the last day thereof.

(b)                                 Each determination of an interest rate by the Agent shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the applicable Lenders in the absence of demonstrable error.

2.14                        Payments by the Borrower.

(a)                                 All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim.  Except as otherwise specified herein, all payments by the Borrower shall be made to the Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders at the Agent’s Payment Office no later than 11:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on the date specified herein.  All such payments shall be made in funds immediately available to the Agent and in Dollars.  Subject to Section 9.02, the Agent will promptly distribute to each applicable Lender its applicable share of such payment which, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be based upon such Lender’s Percentage in respect of which such payment has been made.  Any payment received by the Agent later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

(b)                                 Whenever any payment is due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the following Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or fees, as the case may be.

(c)                                  Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the time at which any payment is due to the Agent for the account of the Lenders that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lenders the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the applicable Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

30

2.15                        Payments by the Lenders to the Agent.

(a)                                 Unless the Agent receives notice from a Lender on or prior to the Effective Date that such Lender will not make available as and when required hereunder to the Agent for the account of the Borrower the amount of that Lender’s Percentage of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that each Lender has made such amount available to the Agent in immediately available funds on the Borrowing Date and the Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount.  If and to the extent any Lender shall not have made its full amount available to the Agent in immediately available funds and the Agent in such circumstances has made available to the Borrower such amount, that Lender shall on the Business Day following such Borrowing Date make such amount available to the Agent, together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate for each day during such period.  A notice of the Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under this subsection (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.  If such amount is so made available, such payment to the Agent shall constitute such Lender’s Loan on the date of Borrowing for all purposes of this Agreement.  If such amount is not made available to the Agent on the Business Day following the Borrowing Date, the Agent will notify the Borrower of such failure to fund and, upon demand by the Agent, the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Agent for the Agent’s account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing.

(b)                                 The failure of any applicable Lender to make any Loan on the Borrowing Date shall not relieve any other applicable Lender of any obligation hereunder to make a Loan on such Borrowing Date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on the Borrowing Date.

2.16                        Sharing of Payments, Etc.  If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loan made by it any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder), such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Agent of such fact and (b) purchase from the other applicable Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment pro rata with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender, such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other applicable Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered.  The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off, but subject to Section 11.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.  The Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section and will in each case notify the applicable Lenders following any such purchases or repayments.

2.17                        Amendments Effecting a Maturity Extension.  In addition, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary:

(a)                                 The Borrower may, by written notice to the Agent (who shall forward such notice to all applicable Lenders), make an offer (each such offer, an “Extension Offer”) on a pro rata basis to all the Lenders to make one or more amendments or modifications to allow the maturity of the Loans of the Extending Lenders (as defined below) to be extended, and, in connection with

31

such extension, to (i) [reserved], (ii) increase the interest rate and/or fees payable with respect to the applicable Loans of the Extending Lenders and the payment of additional fees or other consideration to the Extending Lenders, and/or (iii) change such additional terms and conditions of this Agreement solely as applicable to the Extending Lenders (such additional changed terms and conditions (to the extent not otherwise approved by the requisite Lenders under Section 11.01) to be effective only during the period following the original maturity date prior to its extension by such Extending Lenders) (collectively, “Permitted Amendments”) pursuant to procedures reasonably acceptable to each of the Agent and the Borrower.  Such notice shall set forth (i) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendment and (ii) the date on which such Permitted Amendment is requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 3 Business Days after the date of such notice).  To the extent not otherwise approved by the requisite Lenders under Section 11.01, Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Loans of the Lenders that accept the Extension Offer (such Lenders, the “Extending Lenders”).  The Borrower, each other Loan Party and each Extending Lender shall execute and deliver to the Agent an extension amendment to this Agreement (an “Extension Amendment”) and such other documentation as the Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof.  The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of the Extension Amendment.  Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that, upon the effectiveness of the Extension Amendment, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Permitted Amendment evidenced thereby and only with respect to the Loans of the Extending Lenders as to which such Lenders’ acceptance has been made.  The Borrower may effectuate no more than two Extension Amendments.

(b)                                 Any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, made to effect any Permitted Amendment that by its express terms amends or modifies the rights or duties under this Agreement or such other Loan Document may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing signed by the Agent, the Borrower or the applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, and the requisite percentage in interest of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under Section 11.01.

(c)                                  This Section shall supersede any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, including Section 11.01, it being understood, however, that nothing in this Section shall impair or limit the effectiveness of any amendment effectuated in accordance with Section 11.01 (including, without limitation, any amendment effectuated simultaneously with any Permitted Amendment).

2.18                        [Reserved].

2.19                        Loan Repurchases.

(a)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the Borrower may conduct reverse Dutch auctions from time to time in order to purchase Loans (each, an “Auction”) (each such Auction to be managed exclusively by the Agent (if it consents to do so in its sole discretion) or another investment bank(s) of recognized standing selected by the Borrower following consultation with the Agent (in such capacity, the “Auction Manager”)), so long as the following conditions are satisfied:

(i)                                     each Auction shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures, terms and conditions set forth in this Section and Schedule 2.19;

32

(ii)                                  no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of the delivery of each Auction Notice and at the time of purchase of any Loans in connection with any Auction;

(iii)                               the minimum principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of Loans that the Borrower offers to purchase in any such Auction shall be no less than $10,000,000 (unless another amount is agreed to by the Agent);

(iv)                              [reserved];

(v)                                 the aggregate principal amount (calculated on the face amount thereof) of all Loans so purchased by the Borrower shall automatically be cancelled and retired by the Borrower on the settlement date of the relevant purchase (and may not be resold);

(vi)                              no more than one Auction may be ongoing at any one time;

(vii)                           the Borrower shall represent and warrant that no Loan Party shall have any MNPI that both (A) has not been previously disclosed in writing to the Agent and the Lenders (other than because such Lender does not wish to receive such MNPI) prior to such time and (B) could reasonably be expected to be material to a Lender’s decision to participate in the Auction; and

(viii)                        at the time of each purchase of Loans through an Auction, the Borrower shall have delivered to the Auction Manager an officer’s certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying as to compliance with the preceding clauses (i) through (vii).

(b)                                 The Borrower must terminate an Auction if it fails to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of purchase of Loans pursuant to the respective Auction.  If the Borrower commences any Auction (and all relevant requirements set forth above which are required to be satisfied at the time of the commencement of the respective Auction have in fact been satisfied), and if at such time of commencement the Borrower reasonably believes that all required conditions set forth above which are required to be satisfied at the time of the purchase of Loans pursuant to such Auction shall be satisfied, then the Borrower shall have no liability to any Lender or any other Person for any termination of the respective Auction as a result of its failure to satisfy one or more of the conditions set forth above which are required to be met at the time which otherwise would have been the time of purchase of Loans pursuant to the respective Auction, and any such failure shall not result in any Default or Event of Default hereunder.  With respect to all purchases of Loans made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section, (i) the Borrower shall pay on the settlement date of each such purchase all accrued and unpaid interest (except to the extent otherwise set forth in the relevant offer documents), if any, on the purchased Loans up to the settlement date of such purchase and (ii) such purchases (and the payments made by the Borrower and the cancellation of the purchased Loans, in each case in connection therewith) shall not be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.08 or 2.09.

(c)                                  The Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the Auctions and the other transactions contemplated by this Section (provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to participate in any such Auctions) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of any Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any Auction or any other transaction contemplated by this Section, including Sections 2.08, 2.09 and 2.16 (it being understood that purchases of Loans by the Borrower shall not constitute Investments).  The Auction Manager acting in its capacity as such hereunder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of Article X and Section 11.04 mutatis mutandis as if each reference therein to the “Agent” were a

33

reference to the Auction Manager, and the Agent shall cooperate with the Auction Manager as reasonably requested by the Auction Manager in order to enable it to perform its responsibilities and duties in connection with each Auction.

2.20                        Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i)                                     Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 11.01.

(ii)                                  Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article IX or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Agent by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.09), shall be applied at such time or times as may be reasonably determined by the Agent as follows (and, in any case, when due): first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Specified Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; third, if so determined by the Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund a Loan under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Specified Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of the Loan of such Defaulting Lender.  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.20(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(b)                                 The Agent agrees to promptly notify the Borrower upon any Lender’s becoming a Defaulting Lender (but the Agent shall have no liability for any failure to give, or any delay in giving, any such notice).  Any Lender that becomes a Defaulting Lender agrees to promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent upon such Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender.  If the Borrower and the Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will promptly so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from

34

Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

[RESERVED]

ARTICLE IV

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

4.01                        Taxes.

(a)                                 Any and all payments by or on account of any Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any Taxes, unless any such deduction or withholding is required by any Requirement of Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the applicable withholding agent).

(b)                                 If the Borrower, the Agent or any other applicable withholding agent shall be required by any Requirement of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable by or on account of any Loan Party under any Loan Document to any Lender or the Agent, then:

(i)                                     If such Tax is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that, after all required deductions and withholdings have been made (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 4.01), each of such Lender and such Agent receives and retains an amount equal to the sum it would have received and retained had no such deductions or withholdings been made;

(ii)                                  the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions and withholdings; and

(iii)                               the applicable withholding agent shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c)                                  The Borrower shall timely pay all Other Taxes to the applicable Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(d)                                 The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender and Agent for the full amount of (i) Indemnified Taxes and (ii) Other Taxes payable by such Lender or the Agent and any liability (including penalties (except to the extent such penalties are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender or such Agent, respectively), interest, additions to tax and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted.  Payment under this indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date such Lender or such Agent makes written demand therefor.

(e)                                  Within 30 days after the date of any payment by any Loan Party of any Taxes on account of a Lender or the Agent, the Borrower shall furnish to such Lender or the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence of payment satisfactory to such Lender or the Agent.

35

(f)                                   If any Loan Party is required to pay any amount to any Lender or the Agent for the account of such Lender pursuant to subsection (b) or (d) of this Section 4.01, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office so as to eliminate any such additional payment by such Loan Party which may thereafter accrue, if such change in the sole judgment of such Lender is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(g)                                  Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.

(i)                                Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and to the Agent, whenever reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Requirements of Law and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower or the Agent, as the case may be, (A) to determine whether or not any payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) to determine, if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction and (C) to establish such Lender’s (and, if applicable, such Lender’s beneficial owners’) entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of any payments to be made to such Lender by any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in an applicable jurisdiction.  Each such Lender shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders any such documentation (including any specific documentation required below in this Section 4.01(g)) obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower and the Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so.

(ii)                                Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A)                               each U.S. Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of signed originals as shall be requested by the recipient) on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement executed originals of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor thereto) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding; and

(B)                               each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of U.S. federal withholding Tax with respect to any payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of signed originals as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement, whichever of the following is applicable:

(I)                                   IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor thereto) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

(II)                              IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor thereto),

(III)                         in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Sections 881(c) or 871(h) of the Code (the “Portfolio Interest Exemption”), (x) a certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit ▇-▇,▇-▇, ▇-▇ ▇▇ ▇-▇, as applicable (a “Tax Status Certificate”), to the effect that such Foreign Lender (or, in the event that such Foreign Lender is a Disregarded Entity, the Person that is treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as being the sole owner of such Lender) is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and that

36

no interest to be received is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business and (y) duly completed and executed original copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor thereto),

(IV)                          in the case that a Foreign Lender (or, in the event that the Foreign Lender is a Disregarded Entity, the Person that is treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as being the sole owner of such Foreign Lender) is a partnership (for U.S. federal income tax purposes) or otherwise not a beneficial owner (e.g., where such Foreign Lender is a participating Lender), IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor thereto) and all required supporting documentation from each beneficial owner that would be required under this Section 4.01(g)(ii) if such beneficial owner were a Lender, as applicable (including, where one or more of the underlying beneficial owner(s) is claiming the benefits of the Portfolio Interest Exemption, a Tax Status Certificate of such beneficial owner(s) (provided that, if the Foreign Lender is a partnership (for U.S. federal income tax purposes) and not a participating Lender, the Tax Status Certificate from the direct or indirect partner(s) may be provided by the Foreign Lender on behalf of such direct or indirect partner(s))), or

(V)                               any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

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

(iii)                               Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to deliver to the Loan Parties and to any successor Agent any documentation provided by such Lender to the Agent pursuant to this Section 4.01(g).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.01(g), no Lender shall be required to deliver any documentation that it is not legally eligible to deliver.

4.02                        [Reserved].

4.03                        Increased Costs and Reduction of Return.

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

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

(ii)                                  subject any Lender to any Taxes of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes indemnifiable under Section 4.01 and any Excluded Taxes);

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan, or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, but subject to Section 4.03(c) below, the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)                                 Capital Requirements.  If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loan made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then, subject to Section 4.03(c) below, from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)                                  Certificates for Reimbursement.  The right of a Lender to receive payment under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section shall be conditioned upon its delivery to the Borrower of a certificate setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount or amounts demanded, and any such certificate shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate that is free of demonstrable error within 30 days after receipt thereof; provided that payment shall only be made to a Lender to the extent such Lender makes similar claims under similar circumstances against similarly situated borrowers pursuant to similar provisions under agreements similar to this Agreement.

(d)                                 Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.03 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 120 days prior to the date that such Lender claims compensation therefor hereunder (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 120-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

4.06                        Certificates of Lenders.  Any Lender claiming reimbursement or compensation under this Article IV shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) contemporaneously with the demand for payment a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for, and a calculation of, the amount payable to such Lender hereunder and such certificate shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error.

4.07                        Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 4.03, if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, if any Lender requests payment pursuant to Section 4.01 in an amount materially higher than amounts requested by other Lenders generally, if any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Borrower the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto or if any Lender becomes the subject of, or is threatened by an EEA Resolution Authority with the exercise of, a Bail-In Action, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.07), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(a)                                 the Borrower shall have paid to the Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 11.07(a);

(b)                                 such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to 100% of the outstanding principal of its Loan and, other than in the case of a Defaulting Lender, any premium thereon (assuming for this purpose that the Loan of such Lender was being prepaid) from the assignee and any amounts payable by the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.01 or 4.03 from the Borrower (it being understood that the Assignment and Assumption relating to such assignment shall provide that any interest that accrued prior to the effective date of the assignment shall be for the account of the replaced Lender and such amounts that accrue on and after the effective date of the assignment shall be for the account of the replacement Lender);

(c)                                  in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 4.03 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 4.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(d)                                 in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Lender that has become the subject of, or has been threatened by an EEA Resolution Authority with the exercise of, a Bail-In Action, the assignee shall be deemed to have taken assignment of all the interests, rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement without giving effect to the applicable Bail-In Action on such interests, rights and obligations, and the failure of any Defaulting Lender or Lender that has become the subject of, or has been threatened by an EEA Resolution Authority with the exercise of, a Bail-In Action to execute any Assignment and Assumption pursuant to Section 11.07 shall not invalidate such assignment; and

(e)                                  such assignment does not conflict with applicable laws.

Each Lender agrees that, if the Borrower elects to replace such Lender in accordance with this Section 4.07, it shall promptly execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption to evidence the assignment and shall deliver to the Borrower any Note (if a Note has been issued in respect of such Lender’s Loan) subject to such Assignment and Assumption; provided that the failure of any such

39

Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption shall not render such assignment invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register.

4.08                        Survival.  The agreements and obligations of the Borrower in this Article IV shall survive the payment of all other Obligations and resignation of the Agent.

except, in each case referred to in subsection (a) (except as it relates to the Borrower), (b)(i), (c) or (d) above, to the extent that the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

6.10        Taxes.  The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have filed all Federal and other material Tax returns and reports required to be filed, and have paid all Taxes due and payable by it (whether or not shown on a Tax return), including in their capacity as a withholding agent, and all material assessments imposed by any governmental authority, except for (a) Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP and (b) Taxes that, individually or in the aggregate, would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.  There is no proposed Tax assessment against the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that, individually or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect.

44

to it or to its properties, except in such instances in which (a) such Requirement of Law or order, writ, injunction or decree is being contested in good faith by appropriate action or (b) the failure to comply therewith, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(e)           Cross-Default.  Any Loan Party (i) fails to make any payment in respect of any Indebtedness or Guaranty Obligation (including Indebtedness in respect of Swap Contracts but excluding intercompany Indebtedness), having an aggregate principal amount (including undrawn committed or available amounts and including amounts owing to all creditors under any combined or syndicated credit arrangement) in excess of the Threshold Amount when due (whether by scheduled maturity, required prepayment, acceleration, demand, or otherwise) and such failure (A) causes the holder or holders of such Indebtedness or beneficiary or beneficiaries of such Indebtedness (or a trustee or agent on behalf of such holder or holders or beneficiary or beneficiaries) to declare the Indebtedness to be due and payable, or to require such Indebtedness to be repurchased, prior to its stated maturity, or such Guaranty Obligation to become payable or cash collateral in respect thereof to be demanded, or (B) continues for ninety (90) days without waiver or cure; or (ii) fails to perform or observe any other condition or covenant, or any other event shall occur or condition exist, under any agreement or instrument relating to any such Indebtedness or Guaranty Obligation (excluding intercompany Indebtedness), and such failure, event or condition (A) causes the holder or holders of such Indebtedness or beneficiary or beneficiaries of such Indebtedness (or a trustee or agent on behalf of such holder or holders or beneficiary or beneficiaries) to declare the Indebtedness to be due and payable, or to require such Indebtedness to be repurchased, prior to its stated maturity, or such Guaranty Obligation to become payable or cash collateral in respect thereof to be demanded, or (B) (I) continues for ninety (90) days after written notice thereof has been provided to the holder or holders of such Indebtedness or beneficiary or beneficiaries of such Indebtedness (or a trustee or agent on behalf of such holder or holders or beneficiary or beneficiaries) without waiver or cure and (II) permits the holder or holders of

64

9.02        Remedies.  If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Agent shall, at the request of, or may, with the consent of, the Required Lenders:

(a)           declare the Commitments of the applicable Lenders to make Loans terminated, whereupon such Commitments shall be terminated;

10.03      Exculpatory Provisions.  The Agent shall not have any duties (including fiduciary duties) or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent:

(a)           shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b)           shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers (including, without limitation, any discretionary powers relating to an Event of Default), except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and

(c)           shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 9.02 and 11.01) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The Agent

67

shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Agent by the Borrower or a Lender.

The Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith; (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document; or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.

The Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made, shall be to recover from other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to be entitled (and such other Lenders hereby agree to return to such Lender any such erroneous payments received by them).  The Agent shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Agent may agree in writing with the Lenders and Borrower.  Money held by the Agent hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

Agent may, at any time, request instructions from the Lenders with respect to whether it should take or refrain from taking any action hereunder (including after an Event of Default), or grant or withhold any approval or consent, and if such instructions are reasonably promptly requested, Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval or consent and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from any action or withholding any approval or consent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document until it shall have received such instructions from Required Lenders or such lesser portion of the Lenders as it deems advisable.  Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders.

Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, in each case to the extent arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond Agent’s control, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services.

10.04      Reliance by Agent.  The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan.  The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants

68

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

10.05      Delegation of Duties.  The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by the Agent.  The Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of the Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the term loan facility provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.

10.06      Resignation of Agent.  The Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and which consent shall not be required during the existence of an Event of Default), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank or trust company with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and consented to by the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this Section.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section).  The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.  After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Agent.

10.07      Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties 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 Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

10.08      No Other Duties, Etc.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Person listed on the cover page hereof or elsewhere herein as a Joint Lead Arranger, a Joint Bookrunner or a Co-Syndication Agent shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as a Lender hereunder.

69

10.09      Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise

(a)           to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Agent under Sections 2.12 and 11.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b)           to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Agent and, if the Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agent under Sections 2.12 and 11.04.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

10.10      Guaranty Matters.  The Agent shall, and the Lenders irrevocably authorize the Agent to, at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement if, after giving effect to such release, the Borrower is in compliance with Section 7.12.

Upon request by the Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Agent’s authority to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.10.

10.11      Withholding Tax.  To the extent required by any applicable Requirement of Law, the Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender under any Loan Document an amount equal to any applicable withholding Tax.  If the IRS or any Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Agent did not properly withhold Tax from any amount paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Agent (to the extent that the Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Loan Parties and without limiting or expanding the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Agent as Tax or otherwise, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any out-of-pocket expenses, whether or not such Tax was correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Government Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

70

Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Agent under this Section 10.11.  The agreements in this Section 10.11 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations.  Unless required by a Requirement of Law, at no time shall the Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender.

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS

11.01      Amendments and Waivers.  Except as expressly provided elsewhere in any Loan Document, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent with respect to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders (or by the Agent at the written request of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower and acknowledged by the Agent, and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided that:

(a)           no such waiver, amendment, or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by each Lender directly affected thereby and the Borrower and acknowledged by the Agent, do any of the following:

(i)           increase or extend the Commitment of such Lender (or reinstate any Commitment of such Lender terminated pursuant to Section 9.02), except as otherwise provided in Section 2.17 with respect to extensions of the maturity of the Loans;

(ii)           postpone or delay any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan Document for any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due to such Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, other than any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to any mandatory prepayment of any Loan;

(iii)           reduce or forgive the principal of (or any scheduled payment of principal of), or the rate of interest specified herein on any Loan (except that interest accruing pursuant to Section 2.11(c) may be waived by the Required Lenders), or (subject to clause (viii) of the proviso following clause (v) below) any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document;

(iv)          reduce the percentage specified in the definition of “Required Lenders”; or

(v)          amend this Section, Section 2.16 or any provision herein providing for consent or other action by all Lenders;

and, provided, further, that (i) [reserved]; (ii) no amendment, waiver or consent shall affect the rights or duties of the Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document without the written consent of the Agent; (iii) [reserved]; (iv) [reserved]; (v) [reserved]; (vi) no change, directly or indirectly, in the definition of “Required Lenders” shall be effective unless in writing and signed by each Lender; (vii) [reserved]; (viii) the Administrative Agent Fee Letter may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed by the parties thereto; and (ix) no amendment, waiver or consent shall release

71

all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their obligations under the Guarantee Agreement (other than pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted hereunder) without the written consent of each Lender.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the execution and delivery of all documentation required by Section 2.17 to be delivered in connection with an Extension Amendment, this Agreement and each other applicable Loan Document (if any) shall be deemed amended without further action by any party to reflect any extension of the Loan of any existing Lender.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely (other than as a result of the relative size of its Commitment or Loan) than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

If any Lender does not consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect to any Loan Document that requires the consent of each Lender or each Lender directly affected thereby and that has been approved by the Required Lenders, the Borrower may replace such non-consenting Lender in accordance with Section 11.07.

11.02      Notices.

(a)           Except as otherwise provided herein, all notices, requests, consents, approvals, waivers and other communications shall be in writing (including, unless the context expressly otherwise provides, by (i) facsimile transmission, provided that any matter transmitted by the Borrower by facsimile (A) shall be immediately confirmed by a telephone call to the recipient at the number specified on Schedule 11.02 (or, in the case of a Lender, in such Lender’s Administrative Questionnaire), and (B) shall be followed promptly by delivery of a hard copy original thereof, and (ii) electronic transmission, as more fully set forth in clause (c) below) and mailed, faxed or delivered, to the address or facsimile number specified for notices on Schedule 11.02 (or, in the case of a Lender, in such Lender’s Administrative Questionnaire then in effect for the delivery of notices that may contain material non-public information relating to the Borrower); or, as directed to the Borrower or the Agent, to such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties, and as directed to any other party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the Borrower and the Agent.

(b)           All such notices, requests and communications shall, when transmitted by overnight delivery, or faxed, be effective when delivered for overnight (next-day) delivery, or transmitted in legible form by facsimile machine, respectively, or if mailed or delivered, upon delivery; provided that notices pursuant to Article II, IX or X to the Agent shall not be effective until actually received by the Agent; and provided, further, that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient.

(c)           Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail, Internet or intranet websites and any Platform) pursuant to procedures approved by the Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article II if such Lender has notified the Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication.  The Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular

72

notices or communications.  Unless the Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement); provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website (including any Platform) shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

(d)           Any agreement of the Agent and the Lenders herein to receive certain notices by telephone, facsimile or electronic transmission is solely for the convenience and at the request of the Borrower.  The Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on the authority of any Person identifying himself or herself as, and reasonably appearing to be, a Person authorized by the Borrower to give such notice and the Agent and the Lenders shall not have any liability to the Borrower or other Person on account of any action taken or not taken by the Agent or the Lenders in good faith in reliance upon such telephonic, facsimile or electronic notice.  The obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans shall not be affected in any way or to any extent by any failure by the Agent and the Lenders to receive written confirmation of any telephonic, facsimile or electronic notice or the receipt by the Agent and the Lenders of a confirmation which is at variance with the terms understood by the Agent and the Lenders to be contained in the telephonic, facsimile or electronic notice.

(e)           Subject to the provisions of Section 11.02(a), each of Agent, Lenders, Borrower and each of their Related Parties, is authorized (but not required) to transmit, post or otherwise make or communicate, in its sole discretion, Electronic Transmissions in connection with any Loan Document and the transactions contemplated therein.  Each Lender and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the use of Electronic Transmissions is not necessarily secure and that there are risks associated with such use, including risks of interception, disclosure and abuse and each indicates it assumes and accepts such risks (but without impairing any rights it may have arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Person as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) by hereby authorizing the transmission of Electronic Transmissions.

(f)            Separate Agreements.  All uses of a Platform shall be governed by and subject to, in addition to this Section 11.02, the separate terms, conditions and privacy policy posted or referenced in such Platform (or such terms, conditions and privacy policy as may be updated from time to time, including on such Platform) and related contractual obligations executed in connection with the use of such Platform.

(g)           LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.  ALL PLATFORMS AND ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSIONS SHALL BE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”.  NONE OF AGENT, ANY LENDER, THE BORROWER OR ANY OF THEIR RELATED PARTIES WARRANTS THE ACCURACY, ADEQUACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY PLATFORM OR ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION (OTHER THAN, AS TO THE BORROWER, TO THE EXTENT CONTEMPLATED BY SECTION 6.21) AND DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS THEREIN.  NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS MADE BY AGENT, ANY LENDER OR ANY OF THEIR RELATED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH ANY PLATFORM OR ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS.  The Borrower, each Lender and each other party hereto agrees that Agent has no responsibility for maintaining or providing any equipment, software, services or any testing required in connection with any Electronic Transmission or otherwise required for any Platform.

73

11.03      No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

11.04      Costs and Expenses; Indemnification.

(a)           The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses incurred by the Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers and each of their respective Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of (x) counsel for the Agent and (y) one counsel for all the Joint Lead Arrangers), in connection with the syndication of the term loan facility provided for herein, the preparation, due diligence, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated); (ii) [reserved]; and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent or any Lender (including the fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for the Agent and one counsel for the Lenders in the aggregate), in connection with the enforcement or protection of their respective rights during the existence of any Default or Event of Default (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including their rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out of pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.

(b)           The Borrower shall indemnify the Agent, each Agent-Related Person, each Joint Lead Arranger, each Lender and each of the Related Parties of such Person (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for all Agent-Related Persons and one counsel for all other Indemnitees (except, in each case, to the extent that separate counsel would be required as a result of any conflict of interest)), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of, or awarded against any Indemnitee, promptly following written demand therefor setting forth in reasonable detail a description of such claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in connection therewith) (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including the Transaction or, in the case of the Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents); (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom; (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Claim related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (A) arise from disputes between Indemnitees not in the Indemnitees’ capacities as Joint Lead Arrangers or Agent, that does not arise or result from any act or omission by the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof; provided that this clause (A) shall not apply to limit the availability of indemnity to the Agent and the Agent-Related Persons for disputes among Indemnitees other than the Agent and any Agent-Related Person; (B) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee; or (C) result from a claim brought by the Borrower

74

or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.  In the case of any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding (any of the foregoing, a “Proceeding”) to which the indemnity in this Section applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such Proceeding is brought by the Borrower, its equity holders or creditors, whether or not an Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any aspect of the Transaction is consummated.  The Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding against an Indemnitee in respect of which indemnity could have been sought under this Section 11.04(b) by such Indemnitee unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and (ii) does not include any statement as to any admission.

(c)           To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) to be paid by it to any Agent-Related Person or any Related Party of such Agent-Related Person, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent-Related Person such Lender’s Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent-Related Person in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party acting for such Agent-Related Person in connection with such capacity.  The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) (i) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.16 and (ii) shall not in any way limit the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 11.04.

(d)           To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.  No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by third parties of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or any other Platform or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, other than for direct, actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(e)           The obligations in this Section shall survive payment of all other Obligations.  At the election of any Indemnitee, the Borrower shall defend such Indemnitee using legal counsel satisfactory to such Indemnitee in such Person’s sole discretion, at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower.  All amounts owing under this Section shall be paid within 30 days after demand (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement from the applicable Indemnitee setting forth such amounts in reasonable detail).

11.05      Marshalling; Payments Set Aside.  Neither the Agent nor the Lenders shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Borrower or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.  To the extent that the Borrower makes a payment to the Agent or the Lenders, or the Agent or the Lenders exercise their right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be

75

satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent upon demand its applicable Percentage of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Agent.

11.06      Successors and Assigns.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Agent and each Lender.

11.07      Assignments, Participations, Etc.

(a)           Assignments by Lenders.  Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (each an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and its Loan); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i)            Minimum Amounts.

(A)          in the case of (1) an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Loan at the time owing to it or (2) an assignment to an Affiliate of a Lender, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B)          in any case not described in clause (A) above, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes any Loan outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loan of the assigning Lender subject to any such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of the Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;

(ii)           Proportionate Amounts.  Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned;

(iii)          Required Consents.  No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clause (i)(B) above and, in addition:

(A)          the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender or an Affiliate of the assigning Lender or an Approved Fund; provided, that if the Borrower fails to respond to a request for a consent to the assignment within ten Business Days following the date such request is received by the Borrower, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to such assignment;

76

(B)          the consent of the Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (i) any Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or (ii) any Loan to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

(C)          notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.07 or elsewhere in this Agreement, the consent of the Borrower shall be required (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) for an assignment to any assignee that is an EEA Financial Institution;

provided, that the Agent shall provide the Borrower with prompt written notice of any assignment with respect to which the Borrower’s consent is not required.

(iv)          Assignment and Assumption.  The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that the Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment.  The Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v)           No Assignment to Certain Persons.  No such assignment shall be made (A) to the Borrower or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of the Borrower or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries (except by the Defaulting Lender itself), or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).

(vi)          No Assignment to Natural Persons.  No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

(vii)         Certain Additional Payments.  In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Agent pursuant to subsection (b) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party

77

hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.01, 4.03 and 11.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment).  Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the Assignee.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (c) below.

(b)           Register.  The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Agent’s Payment Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal and interest amounts of the Loan owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  In addition, the Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(c)           Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of the Borrower) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loan owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (iii) the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 11.01 that affects such Participant.  Subject to subsection (d) below, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.01 and 4.03 (subject to the limitations and requirements of such Sections and Section 4.07) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.07(a).  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.09 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 2.16 as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and interest amounts) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of a Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Treasury Regulations.  The entries in a Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in a Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

78

(d)           Limitations upon Participant Rights.  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 4.01 or 4.03 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent that the Participant’s right to a greater payment results from a Change in Law after the Participant became a Participant.

(e)           Certain Pledges.  Any Lender may, without the consent of the Agent or the Borrower, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(f)            Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents.  The words “delivery,” “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption, any other Loan Document or any other document executed in connection herewith shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Agent nor any Lender is under any obligation to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Agent or such Lender pursuant to procedures approved by it, and provided further without limiting the foregoing, upon the request of any party, any electronic signature shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart.

(g)           [Reserved].

(h)           Special Purpose Funding Vehicles.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender is obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof; provided that nothing contained herein shall make any SPC a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement, obligate the Borrower or any other Loan Party to deal with such SPC directly, obligate the Borrower or any other Loan Party to any greater extent than they were obligated to the Granting Lender or increase costs or expenses of the Borrower or any other Loan Party.  Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) each SPC shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.01 and 4.03 to the same extent as a Participant (as set forth above), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder.  The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender.  In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof.  Notwithstanding anything

79

to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Agent and with the payment of a processing fee in the amount of $3,500 (which processing fee may be waived by the Agent in its sole discretion), assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of a Loan to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

11.08      Confidentiality.  Each Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of all information provided to it by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof, or by the Agent on the Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s behalf, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall use any such information other than in connection with or in enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in connection with other business now or hereafter existing or contemplated with the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof; except to the extent such information (i) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the Lender or its Affiliates, or (ii) was or becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or a Subsidiary thereof, provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Borrower known to the Lender; provided that any Lender may disclose such information (A) at the request or pursuant to any requirement of any Governmental Authority to which the Lender is subject or in connection with an examination of such Lender by any such authority; (B) pursuant to subpoena or other court process; (C) when required to do so in accordance with the provisions of any applicable Requirement of Law; (D) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation or proceeding involving the Borrower to which the Agent, any Lender or their respective Affiliates may be party; (E) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document; (F) to such Lender’s independent auditors, trustees and other professional advisors; (G) to any Participant or Assignee, actual or potential, or to any direct, indirect, actual or prospective counterparty to any swap, derivative or securitization transaction related to the Obligations, provided that, in each case, such Person agrees in writing to keep such information confidential to the same extent required of the Lenders hereunder; (H) as to any Lender or its Affiliate, as expressly permitted under the terms of any other document or agreement regarding confidentiality to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof is party with such Lender or such Affiliate; (I) to its Affiliates, provided that such Affiliate is advised of the confidentiality requirements set forth herein and agrees in writing (for the benefit of the Borrower) to keep such information confidential to the same extent required hereunder (it being understood that each Lender shall be liable for the breach by any of its Affiliates of any such confidentiality requirement); and (J) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender.  Each Lender will, so long as not prohibited from doing so by any Requirement of Law, notify the Borrower of any request for information of the type referred to in clause (B) or (C) above prior to disclosing such information so that the Borrower may seek appropriate relief from any applicable court or other Governmental Authority.

11.09      Set-off.  In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, if an Event of Default exists or the Loans have been accelerated, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being waived by the Borrower to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all Obligations and/or Guaranteed Obligations owing to such Lender or such Affiliate, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any Loan Document and although such Obligations and/or Guaranteed Obligations may be denominated in a different currency, contingent or unmatured.  Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender

80

or such Affiliate; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application; and provided, further, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.20 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations and/or Guaranteed Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

11.10      [Reserved].

11.11      Notification of Addresses, Lending Offices, Etc.  Each Lender shall notify the Agent in writing of any changes in the address to which notices to the Lender should be directed, of addresses of any Lending Office, of payment instructions in respect of all payments to be made to it hereunder and of such other administrative information as the Agent shall reasonably request.

11.12      Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute but one and the same instrument.

11.13      Severability.  The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder shall not in any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder.  Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.13, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Agent then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

11.14      No Third Parties Benefited.  This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Co-Syndication Agents and the Agent-Related Persons, and their permitted successors and assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

11.16      WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  THE BORROWER, THE LENDERS AND THE AGENT EACH WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY AGENT-RELATED PERSON, PARTICIPANT OR ASSIGNEE, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, OR OTHERWISE.  THE BORROWER, THE LENDERS AND THE AGENT EACH AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY.  WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF OR THEREOF.  THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

82

may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a)           the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution; and
