(a) Each Lender will make its Loan available on the Effective Date by wire transfer in immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m. (New York, New York time) to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.02. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts that it receives, in like funds by the close of business on such proposed date, to an account maintained by the Borrower with the Administrative Agent or at the Borrower’s option, by effecting a wire transfer of such amounts to an account designated by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the Effective Date that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsections (b) and (c) of this Section and the Administrative Agent may, in

reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such share available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

(c) The failure of any Lender to make a Loan required to be made by it as part of any Borrowing hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such Borrowing, 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 date of the Borrowing.

Section 2.03. Registry; Notes.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the Loan made by each Lender and each repayment of any Loan made by such Lender. Any such recordation by the Administrative Agent on the Register shall be presumptively correct, absent manifest error. Failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

(b) The Borrower hereby agrees that, promptly upon the request of any Lender at any time, the Borrower shall deliver to such Lender a single Note, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, duly executed by the Borrower and payable to the order of such Lender and representing the obligation of the Borrower to pay the unpaid principal amount of all Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender, with interest as provided herein on the unpaid principal amount from time to time outstanding.

(c) Each Lender shall record the date, amount and maturity of each Loan made by it and the date and amount of each payment of principal made by the Borrower with respect thereto, and each Lender receiving a Note pursuant to this Section, if such Lender so elects in connection with any transfer or enforcement of any Note, may endorse on the schedule forming a part thereof appropriate notations to evidence the foregoing information with respect to each such Loan then outstanding; provided that neither the failure of such Lender to make any such recordation or endorsement nor any error therein shall affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes. Such Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Borrower so to endorse any Note and to attach to and make a part of any Note a continuation of any such schedule as and when required.

Section 2.04. Maturity of Loans. The Borrower unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of the Loan of such Lender in installments payable on the dates set forth below, with each such installment being in the aggregate principal amount for all Lenders set forth opposite such date below (and on such other date(s) and in such other amounts as may be required from time to time pursuant to this Agreement):


Installment Date	Aggregate Principal Amount
on each Quarterly Date on or before March 31, 2011	$	1,625,000
on each Quarterly Date on or after June 30, 2011	$	3,250,000

provided, that, to the extent not previously paid, the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Loans shall be due and payable on the Termination Date.

Section 2.05. Interest Rates.

(a) Each Base Rate Borrowing shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Borrowing is made until it becomes due, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate Margin for such day plus the Base Rate for such day. Such interest, including with respect to the principal amount of any Base Rate Borrowing converted to a Euro-Dollar Borrowing, shall be payable at maturity, quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Date prior to maturity. Any overdue principal of or interest on any Base Rate Borrowing shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate Borrowings for such day.

(b) Each Euro-Dollar Borrowing shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day during each Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Euro-Dollar Margin for such day plus the London Interbank Offered Rate applicable to such Interest Period. Such interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on the last day thereof and, if such Interest Period is longer than three months, at intervals of three months after the first day thereof.

The “London Interbank Offered Rate” applicable to any Interest Period means the rate appearing on Reuters BBA Libor Rates Page 3750 (or on any successor or substitute page of such page) providing rate quotations comparable to those currently provided on such page of such page, as determined by the Administrative Agent from time to time for purposes of providing quotations of interest rates applicable to dollar deposits in the London interbank market) at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, two Euro-Dollar Business Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period, as the rate for Dollar deposits with a maturity comparable to such Interest Period. In the event that such rate is not available at such time for any reason, then the “London Interbank Offered Rate” for such Interest Period shall be the average (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of 1%) of the respective rates per annum at which deposits in dollars are offered by each of the Reference Banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 A.M. (London time) two Euro-Dollar Business Days before the first day of such Interest Period in an amount approximately equal to the principal amount of the Euro-Dollar Loan of such Reference Bank to which such Interest Period is to apply and for a period of time comparable to such Interest Period.

(c) Any overdue principal of or interest on any Euro-Dollar Borrowing shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the higher of (i) the sum of 2% plus the Euro-Dollar Margin for such day plus the average (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of 1%) of the respective rates per annum at which one day (or, if such amount due remains unpaid more than three Euro-Dollar Business Days, then for such other period of time not longer than three months as the Administrative Agent may select) deposits in dollars in an amount approximately equal to such overdue payment due to each of the Reference Banks are offered by such Reference Bank in the London interbank market for the applicable period determined as provided above and (ii) the sum of 2% plus the Euro-Dollar Margin for such day plus the London Interbank Offered Rate applicable to such Loan at the date such payment was due.

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

(e) Each Reference Bank agrees to use its best efforts to furnish quotations to the Administrative Agent as contemplated by this Section. If any Reference Bank does not furnish a timely quotation, the Administrative Agent shall determine the relevant interest rate on the basis of the quotation or quotations furnished by the remaining Reference Bank or Banks or, if none of such quotations is available on a timely basis, the provisions of Error! Reference source not found. shall apply.

Section 2.06. Optional Prepayments.

(a) Subject in the case of any Euro-Dollar Borrowing to Section 2.09, the Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:30 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of such prepayment, prepay any Base Rate Borrowing (or upon at least three Euro-Dollar Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, prepay any Euro-Dollar Borrowings), in each case in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating $5,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000 by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied to the Euro-Dollar Loans and Base-Rate Loans comprising such Borrowing as the Borrower may select in its notice of prepayment, and to principal installments in order of maturity.

(b) Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof and of such Lender’s ratable share (if any) of such prepayment and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower.

Section 2.07. General Provisions as to Payments.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and of fees hereunder, not later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date when due, in funds immediately available in New York City, to the Administrative Agent at its address

referred to in Section 9.02. If a Fed-Wire reference or tracer number has been received, from the Borrower or otherwise, by the Administrative Agent by that time the Borrower will not be penalized for a payment received after 2:00 P.M. (New York City time). The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its ratable share of each such payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Base Rate Loans or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a Domestic Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Domestic Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Euro-Dollar Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Euro-Dollar Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Euro-Dollar Business Day unless such Euro-Dollar Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding Euro-Dollar Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.

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

Section 2.08. Method of Electing Interest Rates.

(a) The Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by the Borrowings (subject in each case to the provisions of Article 8 and the last sentence of this subsection(a)), as follows:

(i) if such Borrowings are Base Rate Borrowings, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowings to Euro-Dollar Borrowings as of any Euro-Dollar Business Day and

(ii) if such Borrowings are Euro-Dollar Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowings to Base Rate Borrowings or elect to continue such Borrowings as Euro-Dollar Borrowings for an additional Interest Period, subject to Section 2.09 in the case of any such conversion or continuation effective on any day other than the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Borrowings.

Each such election shall be made by delivering a notice (a “Notice of Interest Rate Election”) to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon. (New York City time) on the third Euro-Dollar Business Day before the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective. A Notice of Interest Rate Election may, if it so specifies, apply to only a portion of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Loans; provided that the portion to which such

Notice applies, and the remaining portion to which it does not apply, are each $5,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000. If no such notice is timely received prior to the end of an Interest Period, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected that all Borrowings having such Interest Period be converted to Base Rate Borrowings at the end of such Interest Period.

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

(i) the Borrowings to which such notice applies;

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

(iii) if the Borrowings are to be converted, the new type of Borrowing and, if the Borrowings being converted are to be Euro-Dollar Borrowings, the duration of the next succeeding Interest Period applicable thereto; and

(iv) if such Borrowings are to be continued as Euro-Dollar Borrowings for an additional Interest Period, the duration of such additional Interest Period.

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

(c) Upon receipt of a Notice of Interest Rate Election from the Borrower pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower.

Section 2.09. Funding Losses. If the Borrower makes any payment of principal with respect to any Euro-Dollar Borrowing or any Euro-Dollar Borrowing is converted (pursuant to Article 2, 6 or 8 or otherwise) on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, or the last day of an applicable period pursuant to Section 2.05(c), or if the Borrower fails to prepay, convert or continue any Euro-Dollar Loans after notice has been given to any Lender in accordance with Section 2.05 or 2.06 the Borrower shall reimburse each Lender within 30 days after demand for any resulting loss or expense incurred by it, including (without limitation) any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, but excluding loss of margin for the period after any such payment or conversion or failure to borrow, prepay, convert or continue, provided that such Lender shall have delivered to the Borrower a certificate as to the amount of such loss or expense, which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

Section 2.10. Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest based on the Prime Rate hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All other interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

Section 2.11. Increased Commitments; Additional Lenders.

(a) Subsequent to the Effective Date and provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower may, upon at least 30 days’ notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly provide a copy of such notice to the Lenders), propose to increase the aggregate amount of the Commitments up to $200,000,000 (the amount of any such increase, the “Increased Commitments”). Such notice shall specify the amortization, if any, maturity, and pricing to be applicable to the loans funded under the Increased Commitments (the “Increased Loans”) and the other terms and conditions relevant thereto. Each Lender party to this Agreement at such time shall have the right (but no obligation), for a period of 15 days following receipt of such notice, to elect by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to increase its Commitment by a principal amount of not less than $5,000,000.

(b) If any Lender party to this Agreement shall not elect to increase its Commitment pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section or shall elect to increase its Commitment but shall not increase its Commitment by the full amount of its pro rata share of the Increased Commitments, the Borrower may designate another bank or other banks (which may be, but need not be, one or more of the existing Lenders) which at the time agree to (i) in the case of any such bank that is an existing Lender, increase its Commitment and (ii) in the case of any other such bank (an “Additional Lender”), become a party to this Agreement. The sum of the increases in the Commitments of the existing Lenders pursuant to this subsection (b) plus the Commitments of the Additional Lenders shall not in the aggregate exceed the unsubscribed amount of the Increased Commitments.

(c) The terms and provisions of the Increased Loans and Increased Commitments shall be identical to the Loans and the Commitments, except as otherwise set forth herein or in the amendment to this Agreement implementing the Increased Commitments (the “Increased Amendment”). In any event (i) the weighted average life to maturity of all Increased Loans shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the Loans, (ii) the applicable maturity date of the Incremental Loans shall be no shorter than the Termination Date, and (iii) the rate of interest applicable to the Increased Loans shall not be greater than the highest interest rate that may, under any circumstances, be payable with respect to Loans unless the interest rate with respect to the Loans is increased so as to be not less than 25 basis points less than the interest rate applicable to the Increased Loans. Each Increased Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other loan documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provision of this Section 2.11.

(d) An increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall become effective upon the receipt by the Administrative Agent of an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent signed by the Borrower, by each Additional Lender and by each other Lender whose Commitment is to be increased, setting forth the new Commitments of such Lenders and setting forth the agreement of each Additional Lender to become a party to this Agreement and to be bound by all the terms and provisions hereof, together with such evidence of appropriate corporate authorization on the part of the Borrower with respect to the Increased Commitments and such opinions of counsel for the Borrower with respect to the Increased Commitments as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

Nothing herein contained shall prevent the termination of the business or corporate existence of any Restricted Subsidiary which in the judgment of the Borrower is no longer necessary or desirable, a merger or consolidation of a Restricted Subsidiary into or with the Borrower (if the Borrower is the surviving corporation) or another Subsidiary or any merger, consolidation or transfer of assets permitted by Section 5.07, as long as immediately after giving effect to any such transaction, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

Section 5.05. Maintenance of Properties. The Borrower will keep, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to keep, all of its properties necessary, in the judgment of the Borrower, in its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Nothing in this Section 5.05 shall prevent the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary from discontinuing the operation or maintenance, or both the operation and maintenance, of any properties of the Borrower or any such Restricted Subsidiary if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Borrower (or such Restricted Subsidiary), desirable in the conduct of its business.

Section 5.06. Compliance with Laws. The Borrower will comply, and will cause each Restricted Subsidiary to comply, with the requirements of all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and orders of any Governmental Authority (including Environmental Laws and ERISA), a

breach of which would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, except where contested in good faith and by proper proceedings.

Section 5.07. Mergers, Consolidations and Sales of Assets.

(a) The Borrower will not consolidate with or merge into any other Person or convey or transfer its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, unless:

(i) the Borrower or a Consolidated Subsidiary that is incorporated under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia is the surviving corporation of any such consolidation or merger or is the Person that acquires by conveyance or transfer the properties and assets of the Borrower substantially as an entirety;

(ii) if a Consolidated Subsidiary is the surviving corporation or is the Person that acquires the property and assets of the Borrower substantially as an entirety, it shall expressly assume the performance of every covenant of this Agreement and of the Notes on the part of the Borrower to be performed or observed;

(iii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

(iv) if the Borrower is not the surviving corporation, the Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent an Officer’s Certificate and a legal opinion of its General Counsel, Associate General Counsel or Assistant General Counsel, upon the express instruction of the Borrower for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, each stating that such transaction complies with this Section and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with.

(b) Upon any consolidation by the Borrower with, or merger by the Borrower into, a Consolidated Subsidiary or any conveyance or transfer of the properties and assets of the Borrower substantially as an entirety to a Consolidated Subsidiary, the Consolidated Subsidiary into which the Borrower is merged or consolidated or to which such conveyance or transfer is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Borrower, as the case may be, under this Agreement with the same effect as if such Consolidated Subsidiary had been named as the Borrower, as the case may be, herein, and thereafter, in the case of a transfer or conveyance permitted by Section 5.07(a), the Borrower shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under this Agreement and the Notes.

Section 5.08. Negative Pledge. Neither the Borrower nor any Restricted Subsidiary will create, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired by it, except:

(a) Liens existing on the date of this Agreement;

(b) Liens securing Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary owing to the Borrower or to another Restricted Subsidiary;

(c) any Lien existing on any asset of any person at the time such person becomes a Subsidiary and not created in contemplation of such event;

(d) any Lien on any asset securing Debt incurred or assumed for the purpose of financing all or any part of the cost of acquiring such asset (and/or, in the case of the acquisition of a business, any Lien on the equity and/or assets of the acquired entity), provided that such Lien attaches to such asset concurrently with or within 180 days after the acquisition thereof;

(e) any Lien on any asset of any person existing at the time such person is merged or consolidated with or into the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary and not created in contemplation of such event;

(f) any Lien existing on any asset prior to the acquisition thereof by the Borrower or a Subsidiary and not created in contemplation of such acquisition;

(g) any Lien arising out of the refinancing, extension, renewal or refunding of any Debt secured by any Lien permitted by any of the foregoing clauses of this Section, provided that such Debt is not increased and is not secured by any additional assets;

(h) Liens in favor of any customer (including any Governmental Authority) to secure partial, progress, advance or other payments or performance pursuant to any contract or statute or to secure any related indebtedness or to secure Debt guaranteed by a Governmental Authority;

(i) Liens incurred in the ordinary course of business not securing Debt which do not impair in any material respect the usefulness in the business of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries of the assets to which such Liens attach; materialmen’s, suppliers’, tax or other similar Liens arising in the ordinary course of business securing obligations which are not overdue or are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings; Liens arising by operation of law in favor of any lender to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business constituting a banker’s lien or right of offset in moneys of the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary deposited with such lender in the ordinary course of business; and appeal bonds in respect of appeals being prosecuted in good faith;

(j) Liens on cash and cash equivalents securing Derivatives Obligations, provided that the aggregate amount of cash and cash equivalents subject to such Liens may at no time exceed $50,000,000;

(k) Liens securing Debt equally and ratably securing the Loans and such Debt; provided that the Required Lenders may, in their sole discretion, refuse to take any Lien on any asset (which refusal will not limit the Borrower’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s ability to incur a Lien otherwise permitted by this Section 5.08(k)); such Lien may equally and ratably secure the Loans and any other obligation of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, other than an obligation that is subordinated to the Loans;

(l) Liens securing contingent obligations in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $25,000,000; and

(m) Liens not otherwise permitted by the foregoing clauses of this Section securing obligations in an aggregate principal or face amount at any date not to exceed at the time of incurrence the greater of 12.5% of Consolidated Net Worth or $75,000,000.

For the avoidance of doubt, the creation of a security interest arising solely as a result of, or the filing of UCC financing statements in connection with, any sale by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of accounts receivable not prohibited by Section 5.07 shall not constitute a Lien prohibited by this covenant.

Section 5.09. Leverage Ratio. The Leverage Ratio shall not exceed 3.25 to 1.00 as of the end of any fiscal quarter; provided that if (i) Consolidated Debt has increased in connection with a Specified Acquisition, (ii) as a consequence of such Specified Acquisition, the rating of long-term unsecured debt of the Borrower has not been suspended, withdrawn or fallen below BBB by Standard & Poor’s (a division of The ▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ Companies, Inc.) or Baa2 by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. and (iii) the Administrative Agent has received a Specified Acquisition Notice within 10 days of consummation of such Specified Acquisition, then, for a period of 180 consecutive days following the consummation of such Specified Acquisition, the additional Consolidated Debt in connection with such Specified Acquisition shall be excluded from Consolidated Debt for purposes of calculating the Leverage Ratio, but only if the Leverage Ratio calculated without such exclusion at no time exceeds 3.50 to 1.00.

For purposes of this Section 5.09,

(i) a “Specified Acquisition” means any single acquisition by the Borrower or a Subsidiary of the Borrower of any Person (the “Target”) that (x) is in the same line or lines of business as the Borrower or in the judgment of the Borrower is related to such line or lines of business and (y) such Target’s board of directors have not objected to such acquisition; and

(ii) a “Specified Acquisition Notice” means a notice delivered by the Borrower notifying the Administrative Agent of the Specified Acquisition and stating that the conditions in clauses (i) and (ii) to the proviso to the Leverage Ratio above have been satisfied.

Section 5.10. Use of Loans. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans for any lawful corporate purposes.

Section 5.11. Investments. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary will hold, make or acquire any Investment in any Person other than:

(a) Investments in Temporary Cash Investments and other Investments in cash or cash equivalents from time to time approved by the Board of Directors of the Borrower;

(b) Investments comprised of debt consideration received in connection with the sale of assets (including any extensions, renewals and modifications thereof);

(c) Investments existing on the Effective Date or which the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary has, as of the Effective Date, committed to make and which are set forth on Schedule 5.11(c) (including any extensions, renewals and modifications thereof);

(d) Investments in any Subsidiary or guaranties of obligations of any Subsidiary whose principal business on the date of the making of such Investment or after giving effect to such Investment is either (i) the same line or lines of business as the Borrower or (ii) in the judgment of the Borrower related to such line or lines of business (it being understood that Schedule 5.11(d) contains a nonexhaustive list of certain related businesses as of the date of the Effective Date);

(e) Investments by any Subsidiary in the Borrower; and

(f) Additional Investments not otherwise included in the foregoing clauses of this Section 5.11 if, after giving effect to such Investment, the outstanding amount (computed by taking the difference of (x) the original cash purchase price of all such Investments less (y) the sum of (i) all payments (including interest and dividends) and repayments of principal or capital plus (ii) all proceeds from the sale of such Investment) of all Investments permitted by this clause (f) does not exceed $225,000,000.

Section 5.12. Transactions with Affiliates. The Borrower will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, pay any funds to or for the account of, make any investment (whether by acquisition of stock or indebtedness, by loan, advance, transfer of property, guarantee or other agreement to pay, purchase or service, directly or indirectly, any Debt, or otherwise) in, lease, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any assets, tangible or intangible, to, or participate in, or effect, any transaction with, any Affiliate except (i) transactions on an arms-length basis on terms at least as favorable to the Borrower or such Subsidiary Affiliate than could have been obtained from a third party who was not an Affiliate, and (ii) transactions described in this Section 5.12 that would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(g) any Material Financial Obligations shall become due before stated maturity by the acceleration of the maturity thereof by reason of default, or any Material Financial Obligations shall become due by its terms and shall not be paid and, in any case aforesaid in this clause (g), corrective action satisfactory to the Required Lenders shall not have been taken within 5 days after written notice of the situation shall have been given to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent at the request of the Required Lenders;

(h) the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary shall commence a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it or any substantial part of its property, or shall consent to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession by any such official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against it, or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall fail generally to pay its debts as they become due, or shall take any corporate action to authorize any of the foregoing;

(i) an involuntary case or other proceeding shall be commenced against the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with respect to it or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it or any substantial part of its property, and such involuntary case or other proceeding shall remain undismissed and unstayed for a period of 90 days; or an order for relief shall be entered against the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary under the federal bankruptcy laws as now or hereafter in effect;

(j) a final judgment for the payment of money in excess of $50,000,000 shall have been entered against the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, and the Borrower or such Subsidiary shall not have satisfied the same within 60 days, or caused execution thereon to be stayed within 60 days, and such failure to satisfy or stay such judgment shall remain unremedied for 5 days after notice thereof shall have been given to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent at the request of the Required Lenders;

(k) a final judgment either (1) requiring termination or imposing liability (other than for premiums under Section 4007 of ERISA) under Title IV of ERISA in respect of, or requiring a trustee to be appointed under Title IV of ERISA to administer, any Plan or Plans having aggregate Unfunded Liabilities in excess of $50,000,000 or (2) in an action relating to a Multiemployer Plan involving a current payment obligation in excess of $50,000,000, which judgment, in either case, has not been satisfied or stayed within 60 days and such failure to satisfy or stay is unremedied for 5 days after notice thereof shall have been given to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent at the request of the Required Lenders;

(l) any person or group of persons (within the meaning of Section 13 or 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) shall have acquired beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under said Act) of 35% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Borrower; or during any two-year period, individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted the Borrower’s Board of Directors (together with any new director whose election by the Board of Directors or whose nomination for election by the shareholders of the Borrower was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then in office who either were directors as the beginning of such period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved) cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the directors then in office; or

ARTICLE 7
The Administrative Agent

Section 7.01. Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the Notes as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not commence any legal action or proceeding before a court of law on behalf of any Lender without such Lender’s prior written consent.

Section 7.02. Administrative Agent and Affiliates. SunTrust Bank shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and SunTrust Bank and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not the Administrative Agent. The term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless expressly indicated, include SunTrust Bank (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent) in its capacity as a Lender.

Section 7.03. Action by Administrative Agent. The obligations of the Administrative Agent hereunder are only those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action with respect to any Default, except as expressly provided in Article 6.

Section 7.04. Consultation with Experts. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 7.05. Liability of Administrative Agent. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in connection herewith (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this Agreement or any borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of the Borrower; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article 3, except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent; or (iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, the Notes or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection herewith. The Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement, or other writing (which may be a bank wire, telex, facsimile transmission or similar writing) believed by it to be genuine or to be signed by the proper party or parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

Section 7.06. Indemnification. Each Lender shall, ratably in accordance with its Commitment, indemnify the Administrative Agent, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such indemnitees’ gross negligence or willful misconduct) that such indemnitees may suffer or incur in connection with this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitees hereunder.

Section 7.07. Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, 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 Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under this Agreement.

Section 7.08. Successor Administrative Agents. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Borrower shall, so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, have the right, with the consent of the Required Lenders, to appoint any of the Lenders as a successor Administrative Agent. In the event that a Default has occurred and is continuing, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint the successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 60 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as an Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder as Administrative Agent. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent.

Section 7.09. Administrative Agent’s Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account fees in the amounts and at the times previously agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

Section 7.10. Other Agents. Nothing in this Agreement shall impose upon any Agent other than the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as such an Agent, any obligation or liability whatsoever.

ARTICLE 8
Change in Circumstances

Section 8.01. Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy. (a) If after the date hereof a Change in Law shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System pursuant to Regulation D or otherwise, as herein provided) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or shall impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting its Euro-Dollar Loans, its Note or its obligations to make Euro-Dollar Loans and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Euro-Dollar Loan, or to reduce the

amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or under its Note, by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then, within 15 days after written demand therefor made through the Administrative Agent, in the form of the certificate referred to in Section 8.01(c), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such compensation with respect to any period prior to the 30th day before the date of any such demand.

(b) Without limiting the effect of Section 8.01(a) (but without duplication), if any Lender determines at any time after the date on which this Agreement becomes effective that a Change in Law will have the effect of increasing the amount of capital required to be maintained by such Lender (or its Parent) based on the existence of such Lender’s Loans, Commitment and/or other obligations hereunder, then the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, within 15 days after its written demand therefor made through the Administrative Agent in the form of the certificate referred to in Section 8.01(c), such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender for any reduction in the rate of return on capital of such Lender (or its Parent) as a result of such increased capital requirement; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such compensation with respect to any period prior to the 30th day before the date of any such demand; provided further, however, that to the extent (i) a Lender shall increase its level of capital above the level maintained by such Lender on the date of this Agreement and there has not been a Change in Law or (ii) there has been a Change in Law and a Lender shall increase its level of capital by an amount greater than the increase attributable (taking into consideration the same variables taken into consideration in determining the level of capital maintained by such Lender on the date of this Agreement) to such Change in Law, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount or amounts under this Agreement with respect to any such increase in capital. Thus, for example, a Lender which is “adequately capitalized” (as such term or any similar term is used by any applicable bank regulatory agency having authority with respect to such Lender) may not require the Borrower to make payments in respect of increases in such Lender’s level of capital made under the circumstances described in clause (i) or (ii) above which improve its capital position from “adequately capitalized” to “well capitalized” (as such term or any similar term is used by any applicable bank regulatory agency having authority with respect to such Lender).

(c) Each Lender will promptly notify the Borrower, through the Administrative Agent, of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date on which this Agreement becomes effective, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 8.01 and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the sole judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate of any Lender claiming compensation under this Section 8.01 and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and setting forth the basis for the determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Lender shall act reasonably and in good faith, and may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

Section 8.02. Substitute Rate. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if within two Euro-Dollar Business Days, in the case of Euro-Dollar Loans, prior to the first day of an Interest Period none of the Reference Banks is, for any reason whatsoever, being offered Dollars

for deposit in the relevant market for a period and amount relevant to the computation of the rate of interest on a Euro-Dollar Loan for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall give the Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof and on what would otherwise be the first day of such Interest Period such Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans.

Section 8.03. Illegality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if, after the date on which this Agreement becomes effective, a Change in Law shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to (i) honor any Commitment it may have hereunder to make any Euro-Dollar Loan, then such Commitment shall be suspended, or (ii) maintain any Euro-Dollar Loan, then all Euro-Dollar Loans of such Lender then outstanding shall be converted into Base Rate Loans as provided in Section 8.03(b), and any remaining Commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Euro-Dollar Loans (but not other Loans) shall be immediately suspended, in either case until such Lender may again make and/or maintain Euro-Dollar Loans (as the case may be), and borrowings from such Lender, at a time when borrowings from the other Lenders are to be of Euro-Dollar Loans, shall be made, simultaneously with such borrowings from the other Lenders, by way of Base Rate Loans. Upon the occurrence of any such change, such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), and shall furnish to the Borrower in writing evidence thereof certified by such Lender. Before giving any notice pursuant to this Section 8.03, such Lender shall designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the sole reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(b) Any conversion of any outstanding Euro-Dollar Loan which is required under this Section 8.03 shall be effected immediately (or, if permitted by applicable law, on the last day of the Interest Period therefor).

Section 8.04. Taxes on Payments. (a) All payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be made free and clear of and without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any present and future taxes, assessments or governmental charges imposed by the United States, or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, excluding taxes imposed on its net income, branch profit taxes and franchise taxes (all such non-excluded taxes being hereinafter called “Taxes”), except as expressly provided in this Section 8.04. If any Taxes are imposed and required by law to be deducted or withheld from any amount payable to any Lender, then the Borrower shall (i) increase the amount of such payment so that such Lender will receive a net amount (after deduction of all Taxes) equal to the amount due hereunder, (ii) pay such Taxes to the appropriate taxing authority for the account of such Lender, and (iii) as promptly as possible thereafter, send such Lender evidence of original or certified receipt showing payment thereof, together with such additional documentary evidence as such Lender may from time to time require. If the Borrower fails to perform its obligations under (ii) or (iii) above, the Borrower shall indemnify such Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable as a result of any such failure; provided, however, that the Borrower will not be required to make any payment to any Lender under this Section 8.04 if withholding is required in respect of such Lender by reason of such Lender’s inability or failure to furnish under subsection (c) an extension or renewal of a Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (or successor form), as applicable, unless such inability results from an amendment to or a change in any applicable law or regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any regulatory authority

(including without limitation any change in an applicable tax treaty), which amendment or change becomes effective after the date hereof.

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender against any present or future transfer taxes, stamp or documentary taxes, excise or property taxes, assessments or charges made by any Governmental Authority by reason of the execution, delivery, registration or enforcement of this Agreement or any Notes (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) Subject to subsection (d) below, each Lender that is a foreign person (i.e. a person who is not a United States person for United States federal income tax purposes) agrees that it shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) (i) within twenty Domestic Business Days after the date on which this Agreement becomes effective, two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN, as appropriate, indicating that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, or is entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding taxes under an applicable income tax treaty, (ii) from time to time, such extensions or renewals of such forms (or successor forms) as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower but only to the extent such Lender determines that it may properly effect such extensions or renewals under applicable tax treaties, laws, regulations and directives and (iii) in the event of a transfer of any Loan to a subsidiary or affiliate of such Lender, a new Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN (or any successor form), as the case may be, for such subsidiary or affiliate indicating that such subsidiary or affiliate is, on the date of delivery thereof, entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes or is entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty. The Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall each be entitled to rely on such forms in its possession until receipt of any revised or successor form pursuant to the preceding sentence.

(d) If a Lender at the time it first becomes a party to this Agreement (or because of a change in an Applicable Lending Office) is subject to a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes. For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form pursuant to Section 8.04(c) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation, or in the interpretation thereof by any regulatory authority, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Lender shall not be entitled to additional payments under Section 8.04(a) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided, however, that should a Lender, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.

(e) If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Lender pursuant to this Section 8.04, then such Lender will change the jurisdiction of one or more Applicable Lending Offices so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue if such change, in the judgment of such Lender, is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

(f) If any Lender is able to apply for any credit, deduction or other reduction in Taxes or Other Taxes in an amount which is reasonably determined by such Lender to be material, which arises by reason of any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 8.04, such Lender will use reasonable efforts, excluding the institution of any judicial proceeding, to obtain such credit, deduction or other reduction and, upon receipt thereof, will pay to the Borrower an amount, not exceeding the amount of such payment by the Borrower, equal to the net after-tax value to such Lender, in its good faith determination, of such part of such credit, deduction or other reduction as it determines to be allocable to such payment by the Borrower, having regard to all of its dealings giving rise to similar credits, deductions or other reductions during the same tax period and to the cost of obtaining the same; provided, however, that (i) such Lender shall not be obligated to disclose to the Borrower any information regarding its tax affairs or computations and (ii) nothing contained in this Section 8.04(f) shall be construed so as to interfere with the right of such Lender to arrange its tax affairs as it deems appropriate.

ARTICLE 9
Miscellaneous

Section 9.01. Termination of Commitment of a Lender; New Lenders. (a) (1) Upon receipt of notice from any Lender for compensation or indemnification pursuant to Section 8.01(c) or Section 8.04, (2) upon receipt of notice that the Commitment of a Lender to make Euro-Dollar Loans has been suspended, the Borrower shall have the right to terminate the Commitment in full of such Lender (a “Retiring Lender”). The termination of the Commitment of a Retiring Lender pursuant to this Section 9.01(a) shall be effective on the tenth Domestic Business Day following the date of a notice of such termination to the Retiring Lender through the Administrative Agent, subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

(i) in the event that on such effective date there shall be any Loans outstanding hereunder, the Borrower shall have prepaid on such date (x) the aggregate principal amount of such Loans held by the Retiring Lender only and (y) if and to the extent necessary, an additional aggregate principal amount of the Loans of the other Lenders such that, after giving effect to clause (iii) below, no Lender’s Credit Exposure shall exceed its Commitment and the Total Exposure shall not exceed the Total Commitments; and

(ii) in addition to the payment of the principal of the Loans held by the Retiring Lender pursuant to clause (i) above, the Borrower shall have paid such Retiring Lender all accrued interest thereon, and any other amounts then payable to it hereunder, including, without limitation, all amounts payable by the Borrower to such Lender under Section 2.09 by reason of the prepayment of Loans pursuant to clause (i) with respect to the period ending on such effective date; provided that the provisions of Section 8.01, Section 8.04 and Section 9.04 shall survive for the benefit of any Retiring Lender.

Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above, such Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder.

(b) In lieu of the termination of a Lender’s Commitment pursuant to Section 9.01(a), the Borrower may notify the Administrative Agent that the Borrower desires to replace such

Retiring Lender with a new bank or banks (which may be one or more of the Lenders), which will purchase the Loans and assume the Commitment of the Retiring Lender. Upon the Borrower’s selection of a bank to replace a Retiring Lender, such bank’s agreement thereto and the fulfillment of the conditions to assignment and assumption set forth in Section 9.08(c)(iii) such bank shall become a Lender hereunder for all purposes in accordance with Section 9.08(c)(iii).

Section 9.02. Notices. (a) All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing (including bank wire, telex, facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to such party: (i) in the case of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at its address, facsimile number or telex number set forth on the signature pages hereof, (ii) in the case of any Lender, at its address, facsimile number or telex number set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire or (iii) in the case of any party, such other address, facsimile number or telex number as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (x) if given by telex, when such telex is transmitted to the telex number specified in this Section and the appropriate answerback is received, (y) if given by facsimile transmission, when transmitted to the facsimile number specified in this Section and confirmation of receipt is received or (z) if given by any other means, when delivered at the address specified in this Section.

(b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article 2 if such Lender has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative 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 notices or communications.

(c) Unless the Administrative 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 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.

Section 9.03. No Waivers. No failure or delay by either Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

Section 9.04. Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of special counsel for the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and (ii) if an Event of Default occurs, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, in connection with such Event of Default and collection and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom.

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, their respective affiliates and the respective directors, officers, Administrative Agents and employees of the foregoing (each an “Indemnitee”) and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and reasonable expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, incurred by such Indemnitee in response to or in defense of any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding brought or threatened against the Administrative Agent or any Lender relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any actual or proposed use of proceeds of Loans; provided that no Indemnitee shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder (i) to the extent such indemnification relates to relationships between or among each of, or any of, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any Assignee or Participant or (ii) for such Indemnitee’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 9.05. Pro Rata Treatment. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, (a) each borrowing from, and change in the Commitments of, the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to their respective Commitments, and (b) each payment and prepayment on the Loans shall be made to all the Lenders, pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal amount of the Loans held by each of them.

Section 9.06. Sharing of Set-offs. Each Lender agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount then due with respect to the Loans held by it which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the aggregate amount then due with respect to the Loans held by such other Lender, the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase such participations in the Loans held by the other Lenders, and such other adjustments shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders pro rata; provided nothing in this Section shall impair the right of any Lender to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have and to apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of the Borrower other than its indebtedness under this Agreement.

Section 9.07. Amendments and Waivers. (a) Any provision of this Agreement or the Notes may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Borrower and the Required Lenders (and, if the rights or duties of any Agent are affected thereby, by it). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment or waiver shall,

(i) unless signed by all affected Lenders,

(A) increase any Commitment,

(B) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder,

(C) postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any loan or any fees hereunder or for termination of any Commitment; or,

(ii) unless signed by all Lenders,

(A) change the percentage of the Credit Exposures, which shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action under this Section or any other provision of this Agreement,

(B) amend or waive the provisions of this Section 9.07.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender.

(b) The exercise by the Borrower of its right to decrease the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.06 shall not be deemed to require the consent of any party to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the exercise by the Borrower of its option to increase the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.11 shall not require the consent of any Person except for the consent of the Administrative Agent, any Additional Lender and each Lender whose Commitment is to be increased.

Section 9.08. Successors and Assigns; Participations; Novation. (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided that, except in accordance with Section 5.04 and 5.07, the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the consent of all Lenders.

(b) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, but upon prior written notification to the Borrower, at any time sell to one or more banks or other financial institutions (each a “Participant”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, the Commitment of such Lender hereunder and any other interest of such Lender hereunder. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of its Note or Notes, if any, for all purposes under this Agreement and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such participation agreement may provide that such Lender will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement described in

clause (A), (B) or (C) of Section 9.07(a)(i) affecting such Participant without the consent of the Participant; provided further that such Participant shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or other decision that all Lenders shall be required to abide by pursuant to a vote by Required Lenders. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.08(d), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall, to the extent provided in its participation agreement, be entitled to the benefits of Article 8 with respect to its participating interest. An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection (c) or (g) below shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with this subsection (b).

(c) (i) Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more Eligible Institutions (each an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes. Each Assignee shall assume all such rights and obligations pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement. In no event shall (A) any Loan of a transferor Lender (together with the Loan of any affiliate of such Lender), after giving effect to any sale pursuant to this subsection (c), be less than $5,000,000, (B) any Loan of an Assignee (together with the Loan of any affiliate of such Assignee), after giving effect to any sale pursuant to this subsection (c), be less than $5,000,000, except in each case as may result upon the transfer by a Lender of its Loan in its entirety or (C) any sale pursuant to this subsection (c) result in the transferee Lender (together with its affiliates) holding more than 45% of the Total Exposure, except to the extent that the Borrower and the Administrative Agent’s consent to such sale.

(ii) No interest may be sold by a Lender pursuant to this subsection (c) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default shall exist at the time, the Borrower, which consents, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided however that sales to an affiliate of such Lender, or to another Lender, will not require the consent of the Borrower. For the purposes of this subsection (c)(ii), the withholding of consent by the Borrower shall not be deemed unreasonable if based solely upon the Borrower’s desire to (A) balance relative loan exposures to such Eligible Institution among all credit facilities of the Borrower or (B) avoid payment of any additional amounts payable to such Eligible Institution under Article 8 which would arise from such assignment.

(iii) Upon (A) execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, (B) delivery by the transferor Lender of an executed copy thereof, together with notice that the payment referred to in clause (C) below shall have been made, to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, (C) payment by such Assignee to such transferor Lender of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Lender and such Assignee and (D) if the Assignee is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any state thereof, evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of compliance with the provisions of Section 9.08(f), such Assignee shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto with a Commitment as set forth in such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, and the transferor Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a correspondent extent, and no further consent or action by the Borrower, the Lenders or the Administrative Agents shall be required to effectuate such transfer.

Each Assignee shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or other decision that all Lenders shall be required to abide by pursuant to a vote by Required Lenders.

(iv) Upon the consummation of any transfer to an Assignee pursuant to this subsection (c), the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if requested by the transferor Lender or the Assignee, a new Note or Notes shall be delivered from the Borrower to the transferor Lender and/or such Assignee. In connection with any such assignment, the Assignee or the transferor Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $3,500.

(d) No Assignee, Participant or other transferee (including any successor Applicable Lending Office) of any Lender’s rights shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 8.01 than such Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights transferred, unless such transfer is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent or by reason of the provisions of Section 8.01 or Section 8.03 requiring such Lender to designate a different Applicable Lending Office under certain circumstances or at a time when the circumstances giving rise to such greater payment did not exist.

(e) Each Lender may, upon the written consent of the Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, disclose to any Participant or Assignee (each a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender’s possession concerning the Borrower that has been delivered to such Lender by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or that has been delivered to such Lender by the Borrower in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation prior to entering into this Agreement, subject in all cases to agreement by such Transferee or prospective Transferee to comply with the provisions of Section 9.15.

(f) If pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 9.08, any interest in this Agreement or any Note is transferred to any Assignee that is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any state thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such Assignee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, (i) to represent to the transferor Lender (for the benefit of the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agents and the Borrower) that under applicable law and treaties no taxes or only a reduced rate of withholding taxes (excluded from the definition of Taxes under Section 8.04(d) will be required to be withheld by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or the transferor Lender with respect to any payments to be made to such Assignee in respect of the Loans and (ii) to furnish to each of the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower two duly completed copies of the forms required by Section 8.04(c)(i).

(g) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 9.08 to the contrary, any Lender may assign or pledge any of its rights and interests in the Loans to a Federal Reserve Bank without the consent of the Borrower.

Section 9.09. Visitation. Subject to restrictions imposed by applicable security clearance regulations, the Borrower will upon reasonable notice permit representatives of any Lender at such Lender’s expense to visit any of its major properties.

Section 9.10. Collateral. Each of the Lenders represents to the Administrative Agent and each of the other Lenders that it in good faith is not relying upon any “margin stock” (as defined in Regulation U) as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for in this Agreement.

Section 9.11. Reference Banks. If any Reference Bank assigns its rights and obligations hereunder to an unaffiliated institution, the Borrower shall, in consultation with the Administrative Agent, appoint another Lender to act as a Reference Bank hereunder. If the Commitment of any Lender which is also a Reference Bank is terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Borrower may, in consultation with the Administrative Agent, appoint a replacement Reference Bank.

Section 9.12. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and each Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York. Each of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and of any New York State Court sitting in New York for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Section 9.13. Counterparts; Integration. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

Section 9.14. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE AGENTS AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 9.15. Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees, with respect to any information delivered or made available by the Borrower to it that is clearly indicated to be confidential information or private data, to use all reasonable efforts to protect such confidential information from unauthorized use or disclosure and to restrict disclosure to only those Persons employed or retained by such Lender who are or are expected to become engaged in evaluating, approving, structuring or administering this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Nothing herein shall prevent any Lender from disclosing such information (i) to any other Lender, (ii) to its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys and accountants who have a need to know such information in accordance with customary banking practices and who receive such information having been made aware of and having agreed to the restrictions set forth in this Section, (iii) upon the order of any court or administrative agency, (iv) upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency or authority having jurisdiction over such Lender, (v) which

has been publicly disclosed, (vi) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation to which any Agent or Lender, the Borrower or their respective affiliates may be a party, (vii) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder, (viii) to any direct, indirect, actual or prospective counterparty (and its advisor) to any swap, derivative or securitization transaction related to the obligations under this Agreement, provided that such person agree to be bound by the terms provided in this paragraph, and (ix) with the prior written consent of the Borrower; provided however, that before any disclosure is permitted under (iii) or (vi) of this Section 9.15, each Lender shall, if not legally prohibited, notify and consult with the Borrower, promptly and in a timely manner, concerning the information it proposes to disclose, to enable the Borrower to take such action as may be appropriate under the circumstances to protect the confidentiality of the information in question, and provided further that any disclosure under the foregoing proviso be limited to only that information discussed with the Borrower. The use of the term “confidential” in this Section 9.15 is not intended to refer to data classified by the government of the United States under laws and regulations relating to the handling of data, but is intended to refer to information and other data regarded by the Borrower as private.

Section 9.16. USA Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.
