ARTICLE II

AMOUNT AND TERMS OF CREDIT

2.1 Commitments. Subject to and on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make revolving loans denominated in Dollars (each, a “Revolving Loan”) to any Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date to the Revolving Termination Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not exceeding its Revolving Commitment; provided, that after giving effect to any Borrowing of Revolving Loans, (y) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Revolving Lender shall not exceed its Revolving Commitment and (z) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans.

2.2 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.

(a) The Revolving Loans (each, together with the Swingline Loans, a “Class” of Loan) shall, at the option of the applicable Borrower and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be either Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans (each, a “Type” of Loan); provided that (i) all Loans comprising the same Borrowing shall, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, be of the same Class and Type and (ii) no LIBOR Loans may be borrowed at any time prior to the third Business Day after the Closing Date.

(b) Each Borrowing of Revolving Loans, each conversion of Revolving Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of LIBOR Loans shall be made upon any Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in the form of Exhibit B-1 in the case of a Borrowing of Revolving Loans (each, a “Notice of Borrowing”), and in the form of Exhibit B-2 in the case of a conversion of Revolving Loans from one Type to the other, or the continuation of a LIBOR Loan (each, a “Notice of Conversion/Continuation”), and in each case appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of such Borrower. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Loans or of any conversion of LIBOR Loans to Base Rate Loans, and (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Sections 2.3(f), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. If any Borrower fails to specify a Type of Revolving Loan in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation or if such Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Revolving Loans shall be

made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable LIBOR Loans. If any Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of LIBOR Loans in any notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.

(c) Concurrently with the giving of a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation in respect of any Borrowing comprised of Base Rate Loans to be converted into, or LIBOR Loans to be continued as, LIBOR Loans, the applicable Borrower shall have the right to elect, pursuant to such notice, the interest period (each, an “Interest Period”) to be applicable to such LIBOR Loans, which Interest Period shall, at the option of such Borrower, be a one, two, three or six-month period (subject to availability); provided, that:

(i) all LIBOR Loans comprising a single Borrowing shall at all times have the same Interest Period;

(ii) the initial Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan shall commence on the date of the Borrowing of such LIBOR Loan (or such date of any continuation of, or conversion into, such LIBOR Loan), and each successive Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Loan shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period applicable thereto expires (except as otherwise provided herein);

(iii) if any Interest Period otherwise would expire on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day unless such next succeeding Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;

(iv) no Borrower may select any Interest Period that expires after the Revolving Maturity Date; and

(v) if any Interest Period begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month during which such Interest Period would otherwise expire, such Interest Period shall expire on the last Business Day of such calendar month.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) during the existence of any Default or Event of Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as LIBOR Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders and (ii) after giving effect to all Borrowings of Revolving Loans, all conversions of such Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of such Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than four Interest Periods in effect at any time (for which purpose Interest Periods shall be deemed to be separate even if they are coterminous).

(d) Following receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. Not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested Borrowing Date, each Lender shall make each Revolving Loan to be made by it hereunder by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the Payment Instructions. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.2 (and, if such Borrowing is on the Closing Date, Section 4.1), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the

applicable Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent by crediting or wiring such proceeds to the account of such Borrower identified in the most recent Account Designation Letter or as may be otherwise agreed upon by such Borrower and the Administrative Agent from time to time; provided, however, that if, on any Borrowing Date, there are Reimbursement Obligations outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such Reimbursement Obligations, and second, shall be made available to the applicable Borrower as provided above.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender (x) in the case of a Borrowing comprising Base Rate Loans, two hours prior to the proposed time of such Borrowing, or (y) otherwise, prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing, 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 on such date in accordance with Section 2.2(d) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the applicable Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to such Borrower to the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by such Borrower, the Adjusted Base Rate. If such Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by any Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim such Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(f) Each Lender may, at its option, make and maintain any Loan at, to or for the account of any of its Lending Offices; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay such Loan to or for the account of such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

2.3 Letters of Credit.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Issuing Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 2.3, agrees to issue standby Letters of Credit in an aggregate amount not to exceed its L/C Commitment for the account of any Borrower, in Dollars, from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided that after giving effect to any Issuance with respect to any Letter of Credit, (w) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments, (x) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, (y) the Outstanding Amount of

L/C Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Lender shall not exceed its L/C Commitment and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the aggregate L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Each request by any Borrower for the Issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by such Borrower that the Issuance so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly each Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

(B) any Revolving Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless such Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to such Issuing Lender (in its sole discretion) with the Borrowers or such Lender to eliminate such Issuing Lender’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be Issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which such Issuing Lender has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.

(ii) No Issuing Lender shall issue any Letter of Credit, if

(A) the expiry date of the requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last extension, unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date; or

(B) the expiry date of the requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Lenders have approved such expiry date.

(iii) No Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (i) such Issuing Lender would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (ii) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

(c) Any Borrower may from time to time request that any Issuing Lender Issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to such Issuing Lender at its applicable office (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a Letter of Credit Application, completed to the satisfaction of such Issuing Lender, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as such Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent may request. Upon receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the applicable Issuing Lender shall, process such Letter of Credit Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, promptly Issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall such Issuing Lender be required to Issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three (3) Business Days after its receipt of a Letter of Credit Application and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance such Issuing Lender’s usual and customary business practices. The applicable Issuing Lender shall promptly furnish to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent a copy of such Letter of Credit and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the issuance thereof and upon request by any Revolver Lender, furnish to such Revolving Lender a copy of such Letter of Credit and the amount of such Revolving Lender’s participation therein.

(d) Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the earlier of (i) the close of business on the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit, or (ii) the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, if any Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the applicable Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Evergreen Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Evergreen Letter of Credit must permit such Issuing Lender to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of Issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable Issuing Lender, the applicable Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the Issuing Lender for any such extension. Once an Evergreen Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable Issuing Lender to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that such Issuing Lender shall not permit any such extension if (A) such Issuing Lender has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof, or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.2 is

not then satisfied, and in each such case directing such Issuing Lender not to permit such extension.

(e) By the Issuance of a Letter of Credit by the applicable Issuing Lender and without any further action on the part of such Issuing Lender, the applicable Issuing Lender hereby grants to each Revolving Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Lender, a participation in such Letter of Credit, respectively, in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit, and the Lender’s reimbursement obligations with respect thereto. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, effective upon any Commitment Increase pursuant to Section 2.16, each Lender’s participation in any L/C Obligations on such date shall be automatically adjusted to reflect its Applicable Percentage after giving effect to such Commitment Increase.

(f) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Lender shall notify the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date of any payment by such Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the applicable Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing Lender through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing (such amount, the “Reimbursement Obligation”) in each case, with interest on the Reimbursement Obligation, to the extent not reimbursed on the Honor Date, from the Honor Date to the date such Issuing Lender is reimbursed therefor at a rate per annum which shall be the Adjusted Base Rate plus an additional 2% per annum, payable on demand. If such Borrower fails to so reimburse such Issuing Lender by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing, and the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, such Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Reimbursement Obligation, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.2(b) for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the Unutilized Revolving Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 (other than the delivery of a Notice of Borrowing). Any notice given by any Issuing Lender or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.3(f) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. Each Revolving Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to this Section 2.3(f) make funds available to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Payment Instructions in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Reimbursement Obligation not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose), whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(f), each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to such Borrower in such amount. With respect to any Reimbursement Obligation that is not fully refinanced by a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, in such event, each Revolving Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.3(f) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation obligation under Section 2.3(e). The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable Issuing Lender.

(g) Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Base Rate Loans or fund its participation obligation to reimburse any Issuing Lender for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit issued by it shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender may have against such Issuing Lender, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of any Default or Event or Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Base Rate Loans pursuant to Section 2.3(f) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 other than delivery by the applicable Borrower of a Notice of Borrowing. No such making of a Base Rate Loan or funding of a participation interest by any Revolving Lender pursuant to Section 2.3(f) shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the applicable Borrower to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for the amount of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein. If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Issuing Lender any amount required to be paid by such Revolving Lender pursuant to Section 2.3(f) by the time specified therein, then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by such Issuing Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such Issuing Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such Revolving Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Base Rate Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or funded participation interest, as the case may be. A certificate of the applicable Issuing Lender submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.3(g) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Until each Revolving Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or participation interest pursuant to Section 2.3(f) to reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of the applicable Issuing Lender.

(h) Obligations Absolute. The Reimbursement Obligations of each Borrower shall be irrevocable, shall remain in effect until the Issuing Lenders shall have no further obligations to make any payments or disbursements under any circumstances with respect to any Letter of Credit, and shall be absolute and unconditional, shall not be subject to counterclaim, setoff or other defense or any other qualification or exception whatsoever and shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement under all circumstances, including any of the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents or any documents or instruments relating to any Letter of Credit;

(ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the L/C Obligations or any other amendment, modification or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Letter of Credit or any documents or

instruments relating thereto, in each case whether or not any Borrower has notice or knowledge thereof;

(iii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that any Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender, any Lender or other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated hereby or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transaction between the applicable Borrower and the beneficiary named in any such Letter of Credit);

(iv) any draft, certificate or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect (provided that such draft, certificate or other document appears on its face to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), any errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, facsimile or otherwise, or any errors in translation or in interpretation of technical terms;

(v) any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under a Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of such Letter of Credit (provided that any draft, certificate or other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit appears on its face to comply with the terms thereof), any nonapplication or misapplication by the beneficiary or any transferee of the proceeds of such drawing or any other act or omission of such beneficiary or transferee in connection with such Letter of Credit;

(vi) the exchange, release, surrender or impairment of any collateral or other security for any L/C Obligations;

(vii) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; or

(viii) any other circumstance or event whatsoever, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Borrower or any Guarantor.

Any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit Issued by it, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding upon the applicable Borrower and each Revolving Lender and shall not create or result in any liability of such Issuing Lender to such Borrower or any Revolving Lender. It is expressly understood and agreed that, for purposes of determining whether a wrongful payment under a Letter of Credit resulted from the applicable Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, (i) such Issuing Lender’s acceptance of documents that appear on their face to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, (ii) such Issuing Lender’s exclusive reliance on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals

the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect (so long as such document appears on its face to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever, and (iii) any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuing Lender.

2.4 Swingline Loans.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swingline Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section 2.4, agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Swingline Loan”) to any Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Swingline Maturity Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swingline Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swingline Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Loans and L/C Obligations of the Revolving Lender acting as Swingline Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided, that (x) after giving effect to any Swingline Loan, (i) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments, and (ii) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, (y) such Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swingline Loan to refinance any outstanding Swingline Loan, and (z) the Swingline Lender shall not be under any obligation to make any Swingline Loan if it shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that it has, or by making such Swingline Loan, may have, Fronting Exposure. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans. Immediately upon the making of a Swingline Loan, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swingline Lender a risk participation in such Swingline Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Swingline Loan.

(b) In order to make a Borrowing of a Swingline Loan, the applicable Borrower will give the Administrative Agent (and the Swingline Lender, if the Swingline Lender is not also the Administrative Agent) written notice not later than 3:00 p.m. on the requested Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such notice (each, a “Notice of Swingline Borrowing”) shall be given in the form of Exhibit B-3, shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the principal amount of the Swingline Loan to be made pursuant to such Borrowing (which shall not be less than $100,000 and, if greater, shall be in an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, in the amount of the Unutilized Swingline Commitment)) and (ii) the requested Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day. Not later than 4:00 p.m. on the requested Borrowing Date, the Swingline Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Payment Instructions an amount, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, equal to the amount of the requested Swingline Loan. To the extent the Swingline Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent as provided hereinabove, upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.2 (and, if such

Borrowing is on the Closing Date, Section 4.1), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the applicable Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent by crediting or wiring such proceeds to the account of such Borrower identified in the most recent Account Designation Letter or as may be otherwise agreed upon by such Borrower and the Administrative Agent from time to time.

(c) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. on any Business Day require the Revolving Lenders to fund their risk participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Revolving Lenders will fund their risk participation. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to make available to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Payment Instructions an amount, in Dollars and in immediately available funds, equal to its respective risk participation. To the extent the Revolving Lenders have made such amounts available to the Administrative Agent as provided hereinabove, the Administrative Agent will make the aggregate of such amounts available to the Swingline Lender in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent. In the event any such Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s risk participation as provided in this Section 2.4(c), the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Swingline Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by such Issuing Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such Issuing Lender in connection with the foregoing. Promptly following its receipt of any payment by or on behalf of any Borrower in respect of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender will pay to each Lender that has funded a risk participation therein such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such payment. Until each Lender funds its risk participation in any Swingline Loan pursuant to this Section 2.4(c), interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan shall be solely for the account of the Swingline Lender.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the obligation of each Revolving Lender to fund its risk participation in any unpaid Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.4(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance or event whatsoever, including, without limitation, (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Lender may have against the Swingline Lender, any Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of any Default or Event of Default, (iii) the failure of any conditions set forth in Section 3.2 or elsewhere herein to be satisfied or (iv) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the applicable Borrower to repay Swingline Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

2.5 Termination and Reduction of Revolving Commitments and Swingline Commitment.

(a) The Revolving Commitments shall be automatically and permanently terminated on the Revolving Termination Date, unless sooner terminated pursuant to any other provision of this Section 2.5 or Section 9.2. The Swingline Commitment shall be automatically and permanently terminated on the Swingline Maturity Date, unless sooner terminated pursuant to any other provision of this Section 2.5 or Section 9.2.

(b) At any time and from time to time after the date hereof, upon not less than five Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (and in the case of a termination or reduction of the Unutilized Swingline Commitment, the Swingline Lender), the Borrowers may terminate in whole or reduce in part the aggregate Unutilized Revolving Commitments or the Unutilized Swingline Commitment; provided that any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $5,000,000 ($500,000 in the case of the Unutilized Swingline Commitment) or, if greater, an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof ($100,000 in the case of the Unutilized Swingline Commitment). The amount of any termination or reduction made under this Section 2.5(b) may not thereafter be reinstated.

(c) Each reduction of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section shall be applied ratably among the Revolving Lenders according to their respective Revolving Commitments. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any reduction of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.5 that has the effect of reducing the aggregate Revolving Commitments to an amount less than the amount of the Swingline Commitment or the L/C Sublimit at such time shall result in an automatic corresponding reduction of the Swingline Commitment or the L/C Sublimit, as the case may be, to the amount of the aggregate Revolving Commitments (as so reduced), without any further action on the part of any Borrower, the Swingline Lender or any other Lender.

2.6 Mandatory Payments and Prepayments.

(a) Except to the extent due or paid sooner pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, (i) the aggregate outstanding principal of the Revolving Loans shall be due and payable in full on the Revolving Maturity Date, and (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal of the Swingline Loans shall be due and payable in full on the earlier to occur of (A) the date ten Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made and (B) the Swingline Maturity Date.

(b) In the event that, at any time, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure (excluding the aggregate amount of any Swingline Loans to be repaid with proceeds of Revolving Loans made on the date of determination) shall exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments at such time (after giving effect to any concurrent termination or reduction thereof), the Borrowers will immediately prepay, jointly and severally, the outstanding principal amount of the Swingline Loans and, to the extent of any excess remaining after prepayment in full of outstanding Swingline Loans, the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans in the amount of such excess; provided that, to the extent such excess amount is greater than the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans and Revolving Loans outstanding immediately prior to the application of such prepayment, the amount so prepaid shall be retained by the

Administrative Agent and held as Cash Collateral as cover for L/C Obligations, as more particularly described in Section 2.14, and thereupon such cash shall be deemed to reduce the aggregate L/C Obligations by an equivalent amount.

(c) Each prepayment of the Loans made pursuant to Section 2.6(b) shall be applied first to prepay all Base Rate Loans, and then to prepay LIBOR Loans, with the LIBOR Loans with the longest Interest Period maturities paid first, followed by the next longest Interest Period maturities. Each payment or prepayment pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.6(b) shall be applied ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans being prepaid, in proportion to the principal amount held by each; provided that if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender at the time of any such prepayment, any mandatory prepayment of the Loans shall, if the Administrative Agent so directs at the time of making such mandatory prepayment, be applied to the Loans of other Lenders as if such Defaulting Lender had no Loans outstanding and the outstanding Loans of such Defaulting Lender were zero. Each payment or prepayment of a LIBOR Loan made pursuant to the provisions of this Section on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto shall be made together with all amounts required under Section 3.5 to be paid as a consequence thereof.

2.7 Voluntary Prepayments.

(a) At any time and from time to time, the Borrowers shall have the right to prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (except as provided in clause (iii) below), upon written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., three Business Days prior to each intended prepayment of LIBOR Loans and one Business Day prior to each intended prepayment of Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans, which may be prepaid on a same-day basis); provided that (i) each partial prepayment of LIBOR Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of not less than $5,000,000 or, if greater, an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and each partial prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of not less than $3,000,000 or, if greater, an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof ($100,000 and $100,000, respectively, in the case of Swingline Loans), (ii) no partial prepayment of LIBOR Loans made pursuant to any single Borrowing shall reduce the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the remaining LIBOR Loans under such Borrowing to less than $5,000,000 or to any greater amount not an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and (iii) unless made together with all amounts required under Section 3.5 to be paid as a consequence of such prepayment, a prepayment of a LIBOR Loan may be made only on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. Each such notice shall specify the proposed date of such prepayment and the aggregate principal amount, Class and Type of the Loans to be prepaid (and, in the case of LIBOR Loans, the Interest Period of the Borrowing pursuant to which made), and shall be irrevocable and shall bind the Borrowers to make such prepayment, jointly and severally, on the terms specified therein. Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.7(a) may be reborrowed, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In the event the Administrative Agent receives a notice of prepayment under this Section, the Administrative Agent will give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders; provided that if such notice has also been furnished to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to notify the Lenders with respect thereto.

(b) Each prepayment of the Loans made pursuant to Section 2.7(a) shall be applied ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans being prepaid, in proportion to the principal amount held by each; provided that if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender at the time of any such prepayment, any voluntary prepayment of the Loans shall, if the Administrative Agent so directs at the time of making such voluntary prepayment, be applied to the Loans of other Lenders as if such Defaulting Lender had no Loans outstanding and the outstanding Loans of such Defaulting Lender were zero.

2.8 Interest.

(a) The Borrowers will pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Loan, from the date of Borrowing thereof until such principal amount shall be paid in full, (i) at the Adjusted Base Rate, as in effect from time to time during such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, (ii) at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, as in effect from time to time during such periods as such Loan is a LIBOR Loan and (iii) at the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus the Applicable Rate for LIBOR Loans, in respect of any Swingline Loan.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under Section 9.1(a), 9.1(f) or 9.1(g) and (at the election of the Required Lenders) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, all outstanding principal amounts of the Loans and, to the greatest extent permitted by law, all interest accrued on the Loans and all other accrued and outstanding fees and other amounts hereunder or under any other Credit Document, shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to: (i) in the case of Loans, the interest rate applicable from time to time thereafter to such Loans plus 2%, (ii) in the case of interest, fees (other than Letter of Credit Fees) and other amounts for which no rate is provided hereunder, at the Adjusted Base Rate plus 2%, and (iii) in the case of L/C Fees, a rate equal to the Applicable Rate plus 2% per annum., and, in each case, such default interest shall be payable on demand. To the greatest extent permitted by law, interest shall continue to accrue after the filing by or against any Borrower of any petition seeking any relief in bankruptcy or under any law pertaining to insolvency or debtor relief.

(i) in respect of each Base Rate Loan (including any Base Rate Loan or portion thereof paid or prepaid pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.6, except as provided hereinbelow) and Swingline Loan, in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, beginning with the first such day to occur after the Closing Date; provided, that in the event the Loans are repaid or prepaid in full and the Revolving Commitments have been terminated, then accrued interest in respect of all Base Rate Loans and Swingline Loans shall be payable together with such repayment or prepayment on the date thereof;

(ii) in respect of each LIBOR Loan (including any LIBOR Loan or portion thereof paid or prepaid pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.6, except as provided hereinbelow), in arrears (y) on the last Business Day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (subject to the provisions of Section 2.2(c)(iii)) and (z) in addition, in the case of a LIBOR Loan with an Interest Period having a duration of six months, on each date on

which interest would have been payable under clause (y) above had successive Interest Periods of three months’ duration been applicable to such LIBOR Loan; provided, that in the event all LIBOR Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing are repaid or prepaid in full, then accrued interest in respect of such LIBOR Loans shall be payable together with such repayment or prepayment on the date thereof; and

(iii) in respect of any Loan, at maturity (whether pursuant to acceleration or otherwise) and, after maturity, on demand.

(d) Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of interest to any Lender at a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. If the amount of interest payable for the account of any Lender on any interest payment date would exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law to be charged by such Lender, the amount of interest payable for its account on such interest payment date shall be automatically reduced to such maximum permissible amount. In the event of any such reduction affecting any Lender, if from time to time thereafter the amount of interest payable for the account of such Lender on any interest payment date would be less than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law to be charged by such Lender, then the amount of interest payable for its account on such subsequent interest payment date shall be automatically increased to such maximum permissible amount; provided that at no time shall the aggregate amount by which interest paid for the account of any Lender has been increased pursuant to this sentence exceed the aggregate amount by which interest paid for its account has theretofore been reduced pursuant to the previous sentence.

(e) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower and the Revolving Lenders upon determining the interest rate for each Borrowing of LIBOR Loans after its receipt of the relevant Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, and upon each change in the Base Rate; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent to provide such Borrower or the Lenders with any such notice shall neither affect any obligations of such Borrower or the Lenders hereunder nor result in any liability on the part of the Administrative Agent to any Borrower or any Lender. Each such determination (including each determination of the Reserve Requirement) shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

(f) In the event that any financial statement or Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.11, 6.1 or 6.2 is shown to be inaccurate (regardless of whether this Agreement or the Commitments are in effect when such inaccuracy is discovered), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Rate for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Rate applied for such Applicable Period, then (i) the Managing Member shall immediately deliver to the Administrative Agent a correct Compliance Certificate for such Applicable Period and determine the Applicable Rate for such Applicable Period based upon the corrected Compliance Certificate, and (ii) the Borrowers shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent the accrued additional interest and fees owing as a result of such increased Applicable Rate for such Applicable Period, which payment shall be promptly applied by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.10(e). This Section 2.8(e) is in addition to the rights of the Administrative Agent and Lenders with respect to Sections 2.8(b) and 9.1 and other respective rights under this Agreement.

2.9 Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay:

(a) To the Arrangers and ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo, for their own respective accounts, on the Closing Date, the fees required under each Fee Letter to be paid to them on the Closing Date, in the amounts due and payable on the Closing Date as required by the terms thereof;

(b) To the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Revolving Lender, a commitment fee for each calendar quarter (or portion thereof) for the period from the date of this Agreement to the Revolving Termination Date, at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Rate in effect for such fee from time to time during such quarter on such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the average daily aggregate Unutilized Revolving Commitments (excluding clause (iii) of the definition thereof), payable in arrears (i) on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, beginning with the first such day to occur after the Closing Date, and (ii) on the Revolving Termination Date; provided, however, that no commitment fee shall accrue on the Unutilized Revolving Commitment of a Defaulting Lender during any period that such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender;

(c) To the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Revolving Lender, a letter of credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each calendar quarter (or portion thereof) in respect of all Letters of Credit outstanding during such quarter, at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Rate in effect from time to time during such quarter for LIBOR Loans, on such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the daily average aggregate Stated Amount of such Letters of Credit, payable in arrears (i) on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, beginning with the first such day to occur after the Closing Date, and (ii) on the later of the Revolving Termination Date and the date of termination of the last outstanding Letter of Credit; provided, however, that any Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.14 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Applicable Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.15(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the applicable Issuing Lender for its own account;

(d) To each Issuing Lender, for its own account, a fronting fee for each calendar quarter (or portion thereof) in respect of all Letters of Credit issued by it outstanding during such quarter, at a per annum rate as agreed to between the Borrowers and such Issuing Lender on the daily average aggregate Stated Amount of such Letters of Credit, payable in arrears (i) on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, beginning with the first such day to occur after the Closing Date, and (ii) on the later of the Revolving Termination Date and the date of termination of the last outstanding Letter of Credit;

(e) To each Issuing Lender, for its own account, such commissions, transfer fees and other fees and charges incurred in connection with the issuance and administration of each Letter of Credit issued by it as are customarily charged from time to time by such Issuing Lender for the performance of such services in connection with similar letters of credit, or as may be otherwise agreed to by such Issuing Lender, but without duplication of amounts payable under Section 2.9(d); and

(f) To the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the annual administrative fee described in the ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo Fee Letter, on the terms, in the amount and at the times set forth therein.

2.10 Method of Payments; Computations; Apportionment of Payments.

(a) All payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense, in Dollars and in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders entitled to such payment or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be (except as otherwise expressly provided herein as to payments required to be made directly to any Issuing Lender or the Lenders) in accordance with the Payment Instructions prior to 12:00 noon on the date payment is due. Any payment made as required hereinabove, but after 12:00 noon shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment falls due on a day that is not a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (except that in the case of LIBOR Loans to which the provisions of Section 2.2(c)(iii) are applicable, such due date shall be the next preceding Business Day), and such extension of time shall then be included in the computation of payment of interest, fees or other applicable amounts.

(b) The Administrative Agent will distribute to the Lenders like amounts relating to payments made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders as follows: (i) if the payment is received by 12:00 noon in immediately available funds, the Administrative Agent will make available to each relevant Lender on the same date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, such Lender’s ratable share of such payment (based on the percentage that the amount of the relevant payment owing to such Lender bears to the total amount of such payment owing to all of the relevant Lenders), and (ii) if such payment is received after 12:00 noon or in other than immediately available funds, the Administrative Agent will make available to each such Lender its ratable share of such payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds on the next succeeding Business Day (or in the case of uncollected funds, as soon as practicable after collected). Notwithstanding the foregoing or any contrary provision hereof, if any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. If the Administrative Agent shall not have made a required distribution to the appropriate Lenders as required hereinabove after receiving a payment for the account of such Lenders, the Administrative Agent will pay to each such Lender, on demand, its ratable share of such payment with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day from the date such amount was required to be disbursed by the Administrative Agent until the date repaid to such Lender. The Administrative Agent will distribute to the applicable Issuing Lender like amounts relating to payments made to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender in the same manner, and subject to the same terms and conditions, as set forth hereinabove with respect to distributions of amounts to the Lenders.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the applicable Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the

account of the Lenders or any Issuing Lender hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, 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 Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(d) All computations of interest and fees hereunder (including computations of the Reserve Requirement) shall be made on the basis of a year consisting of (i) in the case of interest on Base Rate Loans based on the prime commercial lending rate of the Administrative Agent, 365/366 days, as the case may be, or (ii) in all other instances, 360 days; and in each case under (i) and (ii) above, with regard to the actual number of days (including the first day, but excluding the last day) elapsed.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document to the contrary, all amounts collected or received by the Administrative Agent or any Lender after acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 9.2 shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as follows:

(i) first, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees irrespective of whether such fees are allowed as a claim after the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event) of the Administrative Agent in connection with enforcing the rights of the Lenders under the Credit Documents;

(ii) second, to the payment of any fees owed to the Administrative Agent (solely in its capacity as such and not as a Lender) hereunder or under any other Credit Document;

(iii) third, to the payment of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees irrespective of whether such fees are allowed as a claim after the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event) of each of the Lenders in connection with enforcing its rights under the Credit Documents or otherwise with respect to the Obligations owing to such Lender;

(iv) fourth, to the payment of all of the Obligations consisting of accrued fees and interest (including fees incurred and interest accruing at the then applicable rate after the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event irrespective of whether a claim for such fees incurred and interest accruing is allowed in such proceeding);

(v) fifth, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations (including the payment of any outstanding Reimbursement Obligations and the obligation to cash collateralize L/C Obligations), and including Obligations under (A)

any Hedge Agreement between any Credit Party and any Hedge Party (to the extent such Hedge Agreement is required or permitted hereunder), and (B) any Cash Management Agreement between Group or any of its Subsidiaries and any Cash Management Bank;

(vi) sixth, to the payment of all other Obligations and other obligations that shall have become due and payable under the Credit Documents or otherwise and not repaid; and

(vii) seventh, to the payment of the surplus (if any) to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

In carrying out the foregoing, (x) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next succeeding category, (y) all amounts shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders or Hedge Parties in proportion to the amounts of such principal, interest, fees or other Obligations owed to them respectively pursuant to clauses (iii) through (vii) above, and (z) to the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to clause (v) above are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of outstanding Letters of Credit, such amounts shall be held by the Administrative Agent to cash collateralize L/C Obligations pursuant to Section 2.14.

2.11 Evidence of Debt; Notes.

(a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to the applicable Lending Office of such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lending Office of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lending Office of such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 11.6(d), and a subaccount for each Lender, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the amount of each such Loan, the Class and Type of each such Loan and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the applicable Borrower to each Lender hereunder in respect of each such Loan and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from any Borrower in respect of each such Loan and each Lender’s share thereof.

(c) The entries made in the accounts, Register and subaccounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.11(b) (and, if consistent with the entries of the Administrative Agent, Section 2.11(a)) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrowers therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such account, such Register or such subaccount, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of each Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to such Borrower by such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d) The Loans of each Class made by each Lender shall, if requested by the applicable Lender (which request shall be made to the Administrative Agent), be evidenced (i) in

the case of Revolving Loans, by a Revolving Note appropriately completed in substantially the form of Exhibit A-1, and (ii) in the case of the Swingline Loans, by a Swingline Note appropriately completed in substantially the form of Exhibit A-2, in each case executed by the Borrowers and payable to the order of such Lender. Each Note shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and shall be subject to the provisions hereof and thereof.

2.12 Recovery of Payments.

(a) Each Borrower agrees that to the extent such Borrower makes a payment or payments to or for the account of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, any Lender or any Issuing Lender, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any Debtor Relief Law, common law or equitable cause (whether as a result of any demand, settlement, litigation or otherwise), then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, the Obligation intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been received.

(b) If any amounts distributed by the Administrative Agent to any Lender are subsequently returned or repaid by the Administrative Agent to any Borrower, its representative or successor in interest, or any other Person, whether by court order, by settlement approved by the Lender in question, or pursuant to applicable Requirements of Law, such Lender will, promptly upon receipt of notice thereof from the Administrative Agent, pay the Administrative Agent such amount. If any such amounts are recovered by the Administrative Agent from any Borrower, its representative or successor in interest or such other Person, the Administrative Agent will redistribute such amounts to the Lenders on the same basis as such amounts were originally distributed.

2.13 Several Obligations of Lenders; Pro Rata Treatment.

(a) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans and to make payments pursuant to Sections 3.1(e) and 11.1(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any such payment on any date shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation, if any, hereunder to do so on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, purchase its participation or to make any such payment required hereunder.

(b) Except in the case of Swingline Loans, all fundings of Loans shall be made by the Lenders ratably based upon their Applicable Percentages. All payments on account of principal of or interest on any Loans, fees or any other Obligations owing to or for the account of any one or more Lenders shall be apportioned ratably among such Lenders in proportion to the amounts of such principal, interest, fees or other Obligations owed to them respectively.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other Obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the

aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such Obligations greater than its ratable share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other Obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.13(c) shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in Reimbursement Obligations or Swingline Loans to any assignee or Participant, other than to any Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.13(c) shall apply). Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation. If under any applicable Debtor Relief Laws, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section 2.13(c) applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section 2.13(c) to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

2.14 Cash Collateral.

(a) If (i) any Issuing Lender has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has not been reimbursed by the applicable Borrower, (ii) as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, (iii) any Borrower shall be required to provide Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 9.2(c), (iv) there shall exist a Defaulting Lender or (v) the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the aggregate Revolving Commitments after giving effect to any prepayment of Loans required under Section 2.6, the Borrowers shall immediately (in the case of clause (iii) above) or within one Business Day (in all other cases) following any request by the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender, provide Cash Collateral in an amount not less than the applicable Minimum Collateral Amount (determined in the case of Cash Collateral provided pursuant to clause (iv) above, after giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(b) Each Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.14(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash

Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrowers will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo. The Borrowers shall pay on demand therefor from time to time all customary account opening, activity and other administrative fees and charges in connection with the maintenance and disbursement of Cash Collateral.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(d) Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or to secure other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section11.6(b)(v)) or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lenders that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Issuing Lenders may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

2.15 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such 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 the definition of Required Lenders and in Section 11.5.

(ii) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article IX or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.3 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:

(A) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder;

(B) second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lenders or the Swingline Lender hereunder;

(C) third, to Cash Collateralize each Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.14;

(D) fourth, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no 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 Administrative Agent;

(E) fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and Group, to be held in a non-interest-bearing deposit account and released pro rata in order to (i) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (ii) Cash Collateralize, in accordance with Section 2.14, the Issuing Lender’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement;

(F) sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;

(G) seventh, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and

(H) eighth, 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 or any L/C Obligations in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Obligations owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Obligations owed to, 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 or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.15(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) (A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.9(b) for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Lender).

(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Applicable Percentage of the Stated Amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral in accordance with Section 2.14.

(C) With respect to any commitment fee or Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting lender pursuant to Section 2.15(a)(iii)(A) or 2.15(a)(iii)(B), the Borrowers shall (x) pay to each non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure or Swingline Exposure that has been reallocated to such non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.15(a)(iv), (y) pay to the Issuing Lenders and the Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to its Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv) All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s L/C Exposure and Swingline Exposure shall automatically (effective on the day such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the Revolving Credit Exposure of any non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from such Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v) If the reallocation described in Section 2.15(a)(iv) cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (A) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (B) second, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.14.

(b) If Group, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Swingline Lender agree in writing that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Loans and

funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.15(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided further that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

2.16 Increase in Revolving Commitments.

(a) Provided there exists no Default or Event of Default, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), Group may, from time to time, request increases in the aggregate Revolving Commitments (each a “Commitment Increase”) by an aggregate amount (for all such requests) not exceeding the lesser of (i) $50,000,000, and (ii) $150,000,000 minus the aggregate Revolving Commitments as of the Closing Date; provided that any such request for a Commitment Increase shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000. In any such notice to the Administrative Agent, Group (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Revolving Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be fewer than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Revolving Lenders).

(b) Each Revolver Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within the specified time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Revolving Commitment and, if so, of the amount by which it is willing to increase its Revolving Commitment. Any Revolving Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Revolving Commitment. If the aggregate amount by which the Lenders are willing to participate in any requested Commitment Increase is less than the requested Commitment Increase, then Group may extend offers to one or more Eligible Assignees to participate in any portion of the requested Commitment Increase that has not been committed to by the Revolving Lenders. Each such Eligible Assignee shall execute a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and its counsel.

(c) If the aggregate Revolving Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and Group shall determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Group and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Increase Effective Date.

(d) As a condition precedent to each Commitment Increase, (i) Group shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Credit Party dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Credit Party (x) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such Commitment Increase, and (y) in the case of Group, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such Commitment Increase, (A) the representations and warranties contained in ARTICLE V and the other Loan Documents are true and correct on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to

an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section, the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.11(a) shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to subsections (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.1, and (B) no Default or Event of Default exists. The Borrowers shall prepay any Revolving Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.5) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding Revolving Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages arising from any nonratable increase in the Revolving Commitments under this Section.

(e) This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.13 or Section 11.5 to the contrary.

2.17 Joint and Several Liability.

(a) All of the Obligations of the Borrowers hereunder are joint and several in each and every particular. Each Borrower agrees that its joint and several obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents to which it is a party are irrevocable, absolute and unconditional, are independent of the joint and several obligations of the other and any security therefor or other guaranty or liability in respect thereof, and shall not be discharged, limited or otherwise affected by reason of any of the following, whether or not such Borrower has notice or knowledge thereof, except to the extent any of the following arises solely from or is solely the result of the Termination Requirements (as defined below):

(i) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, any Obligations or any guaranty or other liability in respect thereof, or any amendment, modification or supplement to, restatement of, or consent to any rescission or waiver of or departure from, any provisions of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument delivered pursuant to any of the foregoing;

(ii) the invalidity or unenforceability of any Obligations, any guaranty or other liability in respect thereof or any provisions of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument delivered pursuant to any of the foregoing;

(iii) the addition or release of Credit Parties or the taking, acceptance or release of other guarantees of any Obligations or other security for any Obligations or for any guaranty or other liability in respect thereof;

(iv) any discharge, modification, settlement, compromise or other action in respect of any Obligations or any guaranty or other liability in respect thereof, including any acceptance or refusal of any offer or performance with respect to the same or the subordination of the same to the payment of any other obligations;

(v) any agreement not to pursue or enforce or any failure to pursue or enforce (whether voluntarily or involuntarily as a result of operation of law, court order or otherwise) any right or remedy in respect of any Obligations, any guaranty or other liability in respect thereof or any security for any of the foregoing;

(vi) the exercise of any right or remedy available under the Credit Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise in respect of any security for any Obligations or for any guaranty or other liability in respect thereof, in any order and by any manner thereby permitted, including, without limitation, foreclosure on any such security by any manner of sale thereby permitted, whether or not every aspect of such sale is commercially reasonable;

(vii) any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, insolvency, dissolution, termination, reorganization or like change in the corporate structure or existence of the other Borrower or any other Person directly or indirectly liable for any Obligations;

(viii) any manner of application of any payments by or amounts received or collected from any Person, by whomsoever paid and howsoever realized, whether in reduction of any Obligations or any other obligations of the other Borrower or any other Person directly or indirectly liable for any Obligations, regardless of what Obligations may remain unpaid after any such application; or

(ix) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or a defense, set-off or counterclaim available to, the other Borrower, any Guarantor or a surety or guarantor generally.

For purposes of this Agreement, the “Termination Requirements” means, collectively: (i) the payment in full in cash of the Obligations (other than contingent and indemnification obligations not then due and payable), (ii) the termination of the Commitments and the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit under this Agreement, and (iii) the termination of, and settlement of all obligations of the Borrowers under, each Permitted Hedge Agreement to which any Hedge Party is a party, and (iv) the termination of, and settlement of all obligations of the Borrowers under, any treasury management arrangements.

(b) Each Borrower hereby knowingly, voluntarily and expressly waives:

(i) presentment, demand for payment, demand for performance, protest and notice of any other kind, including, without limitation, notice of nonpayment or other nonperformance (including notice of default under any Credit Document with respect to any Obligations), protest, dishonor, acceptance hereof, extension of additional credit to the other Borrower and of any of the matters referred to in Section 2.17(a) and of any rights to consent thereto;

(ii) any right to require any Person, as a condition of payment or performance by such Borrower hereunder, to proceed against, or to exhaust or have resort to any security from or any deposit balance or other credit in favor of, the other Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person directly or indirectly liable for any Obligations, or to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right; and any other defense based on an election of remedies with respect to any security for any Obligations or for any guaranty or other liability in respect thereof, notwithstanding that any such election (including any failure to pursue or enforce any rights or remedies) may impair or

extinguish any right of indemnification, contribution, reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Borrower against the other Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person directly or indirectly liable for any Obligations or any such security;

(iii) any right or defense based on or arising by reason of any right or defense of the other Borrower or any other Person, including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising from a lack of authority or other disability of the other Borrower or any other Person, the invalidity or unenforceability of any Obligations, any security therefor or any Credit Document or other agreement or instrument delivered pursuant thereto, or the cessation of the liability of the other Borrower for any reason other than the satisfaction of the Termination Requirements;

(iv) any defense based on any Person’s acts or omissions in the administration of the Obligations, any guaranty or other liability in respect thereof or any security for any of the foregoing, and promptness, diligence or any requirement that any Person create, protect, perfect, secure, insure, continue or maintain any Liens in any such security;

(v) any right to assert against any Person, as a defense, counterclaim, crossclaim or set-off, any defense, counterclaim, claim, right of recoupment or set-off that it may at any time have against any Person (including, without limitation, failure of consideration, fraud, fraudulent inducement, statute of limitations, payment, accord and satisfaction and usury), other than compulsory counterclaims and other than the payment in full in cash of the Obligations; and

(vi) any defense based on or afforded by any applicable law that limits the liability of or exonerates guarantors or sureties or that may in any other way conflict with the terms of this Section 2.17.

ARTICLE III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.1 Taxes.

(a) For purposes of this Section 3.1, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Lender and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(b) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Credit Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.1) the

applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c) The Credit Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d) The Credit Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.1) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Group by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.6(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 3.1(e).

(f) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.1, such Credit Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(g) Status of Lenders.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document shall deliver to Group and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Group or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Group or the Administrative Agent as will permit

such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Group or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Group or the Administrative Agent as will enable Group or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 3.1(g)(ii)(A), 3.1(g)(ii)(B) and 3.1(g)(ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

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

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

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Group and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Group or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Credit Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Credit Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of any

Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

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

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

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Group and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Group or the Administrative 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 Group or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Group and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 3.1(g)(ii)(D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

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

(h) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.1 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.1), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 3.1 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 3.1(h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.1(h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 3.1(h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 3.1(h) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i) Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.1 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Credit Document.

3.2 Increased Costs.

(a) 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 (except the Reserve Requirement reflected in the LIBOR Rate) or any Issuing Lender;

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any LIBOR Loan or of

maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, such Issuing Lender or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, such Issuing Lender or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then, upon request of such Lender, such Issuing Lender or other Recipient, the Borrowers will pay, jointly and severally, to such Lender, such Issuing Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, such Issuing Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender or any Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such Issuing Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing 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 or such Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay, jointly and severaly, to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 3.2(a) or 3.2(b) and delivered to Group shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay, jointly and severally, such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies Group of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

3.3 Inability to Determine Rate.

(a) If in connection with any request for a LIBOR Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof, (i) the Administrative Agent determines that (i) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank Eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such LIBOR Loan, or (ii) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (b) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason the LIBOR Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such LIBOR Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify Group and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected LIBOR Loans or Interest Periods) and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the LIBOR Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the LIBOR Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent upon the instruction of the Required Lenders revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, any Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of LIBOR Loans (to the extent of the affected LIBOR Loans or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

3.4 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, if, at any time after the date hereof and from time to time, any Lender shall have determined in good faith that the introduction of or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance with any guideline or request from any such Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), has or would have the effect of making it unlawful for such Lender to make or to continue to make or maintain LIBOR Loans, such Lender will forthwith so notify the Administrative Agent and Group. Upon such notice, (i) each of such Lender’s then outstanding LIBOR Loans shall automatically, on the expiration date of the respective Interest Period applicable thereto (or, to the extent any such LIBOR Loan may not lawfully be maintained as a LIBOR Loan until such expiration date, upon such notice) and to the extent not sooner prepaid, be converted into a Base Rate Loan, (ii) the obligation of such Lender to make, to convert Base Rate Loans into, or to continue, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended (including pursuant to any Borrowing for which the Administrative Agent has received a Notice of Borrowing but for which the Borrowing Date has not arrived), and (iii) any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given at any time thereafter with respect to LIBOR Loans shall, as to such Lender, be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Loan, in each case until such Lender shall have determined that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist and shall have so notified the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall have so notified Group.

3.5 Compensation. The Borrowers will compensate each Lender upon demand for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss, expense or liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required by such Lender to fund or maintain LIBOR Loans) that such Lender may incur or sustain (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a Borrowing or continuation of, or conversion into, a LIBOR Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Notice of

Conversion/Continuation, (ii) if any repayment, prepayment or conversion of any LIBOR Loan occurs on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a consequence of any assignment made pursuant to Section 3.6(a) or any acceleration of the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Section 9.2), (iii) if any prepayment of any LIBOR Loan is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrowers or (iv) as a consequence of any other failure by any Borrower to make any payments with respect to any LIBOR Loan when due hereunder. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 3.5 shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded its relevant LIBOR Loan through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such LIBOR Loan, having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that each Lender may fund its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts payable under this Section 3.5. A certificate (which shall be in reasonable detail) showing the bases for the determinations set forth in this Section 3.5 by any Lender as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall be submitted by such Lender to Group either directly or through the Administrative Agent. Determinations set forth in any such certificate made in good faith for purposes of this Section 3.5 of any such losses, expenses or liabilities shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

3.6 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.2, or requires the Borrowers to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.1, then such Lender shall (at the request of Group) use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.2 or 3.1, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay, jointly and severally, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.2, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant Section 3.1 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Lending Office in accordance with Section 3.6(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then Group may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative 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 11.6), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Credit Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(i) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 11.6(b)(iv);

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and any funded participations in Letters of Credit not refinanced through the Borrowing of Revolving Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.5) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.1 or a request for compensation under Section 3.2, such assignment will result in a reduction in such payments or compensation thereafter;

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Requirements of Law; and

(v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

(c) A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

ARTICLE V

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to induce the Lenders to extend the credit contemplated hereby and the Issuing Lenders to issue Letters of Credit, each of the Managing Member and the Borrowers represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lender and the Lenders as follows:

5.1 Corporate Organization and Power. Each Consolidated Entity (i) is a corporation or a limited liability company duly organized or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation, as the case may be, (ii) has the full corporate or limited liability company power and authority to execute, deliver and perform the Credit Documents to which it is or will be a party, to own and hold its property and to engage in its business as presently conducted, and (iii) is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation or limited liability company and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the nature of its business or the ownership of its properties requires it to be so qualified, except where the failure to be so qualified, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.2 Authorization; Enforceability. Each Credit Party has taken, or on the Closing Date will have taken, all necessary corporate or limited liability company action, as applicable, to execute, deliver and perform each of the Credit Documents to which it is or will be a party, and has, or on the Closing Date (or any later date of execution and delivery) will have, validly executed and delivered each of the Credit Documents to which it is or will be a party. This Agreement constitutes, and each of the other Credit Documents upon execution and delivery will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Credit Party that is a party hereto or thereto, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, by general equitable principles or by principles of good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).

5.3 No Violation. The execution, delivery and performance by each Credit Party of each of the Credit Documents to which it is or will be a party, and compliance by it with the terms hereof and thereof, do not and will not (i) violate any provision of its articles or certificate of incorporation or formation, its bylaws or operating agreement, or other applicable formation or organizational documents, (ii) contravene any other Requirement of Law applicable to it, (iii) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with notice, lapse of time or both) a default under any indenture, mortgage, lease, agreement, contract or other instrument to which it is a party, by which it or any of its properties is bound or to which it is subject, or (iv) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its properties, revenues or assets other than Liens expressly permitted under Section 8.3; except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, where such violations, conflicts, breaches or defaults, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.4 Governmental and Third-Party Authorization; Permits. No consent, approval, authorization or other action by, notice to, or registration or filing with, any Governmental Authority or other Person is or will be required as a condition to or otherwise in connection with the due execution, delivery and performance by each Credit Party of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents to which it is or will be a party or the legality, validity or enforceability hereof or thereof, other than (i) consents, authorizations and filings that have been made or obtained and that are in full force and effect, and (ii) consents and filings the failure to obtain or make which, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Consolidated Entity has, and is in good standing with respect to, all governmental approvals, licenses, permits and authorizations necessary to conduct its business as presently conducted and to own or lease and operate its properties, except for those the failure to obtain which, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.5 Litigation. There are no actions, investigations, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Managing Member or any Borrower, threatened, at law, in equity or in arbitration, before any court, other Governmental Authority, arbitrator or other Person, (i) against or affecting any of the Consolidated Entities or any of their respective properties as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) with respect to this Agreement, any of the other Credit Documents, or any of the Transactions.

5.6 Taxes. Each Consolidated Entity has timely filed all federal, and all material state, local and foreign tax returns and reports required to be filed by it and has paid, prior to the date on which penalties would attach thereto or a Lien would attach to any of the properties of a Consolidated Entity if unpaid, all taxes, assessments, fees and other charges levied upon it or upon its properties that are shown thereon as due and payable, other than those that are not yet delinquent or that are being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP. Such returns accurately reflect in all material respects all liability for taxes of the Consolidated Entities for the periods covered thereby. As of the Closing Date, except as has been previously disclosed in writing to Lenders, there is no ongoing audit or examination or, to the knowledge of the Managing Member or any Borrower, other investigation by any Governmental Authority of the tax liability of any of the Consolidated Entities, and there is no material unresolved claim by any Governmental Authority concerning the tax liability of any Consolidated Entity for any period for which tax returns have been or were required to have been filed, other than unsecured claims for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP. As of the Closing Date, no Consolidated Entity has waived or extended or has been requested to waive or extend the statute of limitations relating to the payment of any taxes.

5.7 Consolidated Entities. Schedule 5.7(a) sets forth, as of the Closing Date, all of the Consolidated Entities, including Group and Advisors, and as to each Consolidated Entity other than the Managing Member, the direct holders of all Capital Stock of such Consolidated Entities and such holders’ percentage ownership interest. Schedule 5.7(b) sets forth the names, as of the Closing Date, of all Investment Funds and Intermediate Entities.

5.8 Full Disclosure. All factual information heretofore, contemporaneously or hereafter furnished in writing to the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any Lender by or on behalf of any Borrower or Managing Member for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby is or will be true and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such information is dated or certified (or, if such information has been updated, amended or supplemented, on the date as of which any such update, amendment or supplement is dated or certified) and not made incomplete by omitting to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein and therein, in light of the circumstances under which such information was provided, not misleading. As of the Closing Date, there is no fact known to any executive officer of the Managing Member that has had, or is reasonably expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect, which fact has not been set forth in this Agreement or the Schedules hereto, in the financial statements of the Consolidated Entities furnished to the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, or in any certificate, opinion or other written statement made or furnished by the Managing Member or any Borrower to the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders.

5.9 Margin Regulations. No Credit Party is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Margin Stock. No proceeds of the Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, to purchase or carry any Margin Stock, to extend credit for such purpose or for any other purpose, in each case that would violate or be inconsistent with Regulations T, U or X or any provision of the Exchange Act.

5.10 No Material Adverse Effect. There has been no Material Adverse Effect since December 31, 2014, and there exists no event, condition or state of facts that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

5.11 Financial Matters.

(a) The Managing Member has heretofore furnished to the Administrative Agent copies of the audited consolidated statements of financial condition of the Consolidated Entities as of December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014, in each case with the related statements of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the fiscal years then ended, together with the opinion of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP thereon. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the period covered thereby and present fairly the financial condition of the Consolidated Entities on a consolidated basis as of the respective dates thereof and the results of operations of the Consolidated Entities on a consolidated basis for the respective periods then ended. Except as fully reflected in the most recent financial statements referred to above and the notes thereto, there are no material liabilities or obligations with respect to the Consolidated Entities of any nature whatsoever (whether absolute, contingent or otherwise and whether or not due) that are required in accordance with GAAP to be reflected in such financial statements and that are not so reflected.

ARTICLE X

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

10.1 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders (for purposes of this Article X, references to the Lenders shall also mean each Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender) hereby irrevocably appoints ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Except as set forth in Section 10.6, the provisions of this Article X are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and neither any Borrower nor any other Consolidated Entity shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is

understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or any other similar term) herein or in any other Credit Document with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

10.2 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Group or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

10.3 Exculpatory Provisions.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

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

(ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Credit Documents that the Administrative 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 Credit Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable law, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

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

(b) The Administrative 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 Administrative Agent shall believe in

good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.5 and 9.2), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent in writing by Group or a Lender.

(c) The Administrative 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 Credit 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 Credit Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

10.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative 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 Administrative 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, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Group), independent accountants 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.

10.5 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Credit Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative 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 Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and

nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent.

10.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and Group. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Group, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank 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 shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Regardless of whether a successor has been appointed or has accepted such appointment, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date, (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Credit Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for in Section 10.6(a). Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent), and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Credit Documents. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, the provisions of this Article X and Section 11.1 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative 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 Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

10.7 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative 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 Administrative 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 Credit Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

10.8 No Other Duties, etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners, Arrangers, Syndication Agent, Documentation Agent or other agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.

10.9 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Consolidated Entity, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on any Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents, sub-agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.9 and 11.1) allowed in such judicial proceeding and (ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same. 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 Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents, sub-agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 2.9 or 11.1.

10.10 Guaranty Matters.

(a) The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Credit Documents. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, pursuant to this Section 10.10(a).

10.11 Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender. The provisions of this Article X (other than Section 10.2) shall apply to the Issuing Lenders and the Swingline Lender mutatis mutandis to the same extent as such provisions apply to the Administrative Agent.

10.12 Termination of Agreement; Cancellation of Notes and Guaranty. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the survival of certain provisions of this Agreement in Section 11.8, upon payment in full of the Obligations under this Agreement and the occurrence of the Revolving Termination Date, the Credit Documents shall terminate and have no further force or effect, and each Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers the original of any Note issued hereunder to such Lender marked “cancelled” and the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Managing Member for itself and the Subsidiary Guarantors the original of the Guaranty marked “cancelled.”

(b) The Credit Parties shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender, each Issuing Lender, the Syndication Agent and each Related Party of any of the foregoing persons (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 any counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including any Borrower or any other Consolidated Entity) other than such Indemnitee and its Related Parties arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Credit 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, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by an Issuing

Lender to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Substances on or from any property owned or operated by any Consolidated Entity, or any Environmental Claim related in any way to any Consolidated Entity, 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 any Borrower or any other Consolidated Entity, 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 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. This Section 11.1(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages or related liabilities or expenses arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c) To the extent that the Borrowers for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 11.1(a) or 11.1(b) to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s proportion (based on the percentages as used in determining the Required Lenders as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); 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 the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), against any Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender in their respective capacities as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 11.1(c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.13(a).

(d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Managing Member, each Borrower, each other Consolidated Entity and each Related Party of any of the foregoing persons and each Indemnitee shall not assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against the Managing Member, each Borrower, each other Consolidated Entity and each Related Party or any Indemnitee, as applicable, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) or any other claim for lost profits arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit, or the use of the proceeds thereof, provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the indemnification obligations of the Credit Parties to the extent such indirect, special, consequential or punitive damages are included in a third-party claim for which an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder. No Indemnitee referred to in Section 11.1(b) shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Platform, Intralinks, SyndTrak or similar systems) in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(e) All amounts due under this Section 11.1 shall be payable by the Borrowers upon demand therefor.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(d) Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 11.4. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

11.4 Notices; Effectiveness; Electronic Communication.

(a) Except in the cases of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone and, except as provided in Section 11.4(b), all notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by facsimile as follows:

Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by facsimile shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient). Notices delivered through electronic communications, to the extent provided in Section 11.4(b), shall be effective as provided in Section 11.4(b).

(b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the Issuing Lender hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication including e-mail or by posting such notices or communications on internet or intranet websites such as SyndTrak or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or the Issuing Lender pursuant to Article II if such Lender or the Issuing Lender, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent in writing that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or Group may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communication pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. 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), and (ii) notices or other 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; provided that, for both clauses (i) and (ii) above, 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) THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” The Agent Parties do not warrant the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the communications effected thereby. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with any such communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to any Consolidated Entity, any Lender or any other Person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise), arising out of any Consolidated Entity’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of any notices or communications through the Platform, other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(d) Any party hereto may change its address or facsimile number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto (except that each Lender need not give notice of any such change to the other Lenders in their capacities as such).

11.5 Amendments, Waivers, etc. No amendment, modification, waiver or discharge or termination of, or consent to any departure by any Credit Party from, any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be effective unless in a writing signed by the Required Lenders or by the Administrative Agent at the direction or with the consent of the Required Lenders, and then the same shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such amendment, modification, waiver, discharge, termination or consent shall:

(a) unless agreed to in writing by each Lender directly affected thereby, (i) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, reduce the rate of or forgive any interest thereon (provided that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be required to waive the applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates), or reduce or forgive any fees hereunder (other than fees payable to the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or the Issuing Lenders for their own respective accounts), provided that the parties agree that an amendment to the definitions of “Interest Coverage Ratio” and “Leverage Ratio” (or any defined terms used in such defined terms) shall not constitute a reduction of any interest rate or fees hereunder, (ii) extend the final scheduled maturity date or any other scheduled date for the payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan, extend the time of payment of any Reimbursement Obligation or any interest thereon, extend the expiry date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, or extend the time of payment of any fees hereunder

(other than fees payable to the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any Issuing Lender for its own account), (iii) increase any Commitment of any such Lender over the amount thereof in effect or extend the maturity thereof (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.2 or of any Default or Event of Default or mandatory reduction in the Commitments, if agreed to by the Required Lenders or all Lenders (as may be required hereunder with respect to such waiver), shall not constitute such an increase), or (iv) reduce the percentage of the aggregate Commitments or of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Loans, or the number or percentage of Lenders, that shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to take or approve, or direct the Administrative Agent to take, any action hereunder or under any other Credit Document (including as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders”);

(b) unless agreed to in writing by all of the Lenders:

(i) release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty other than (A) as may be otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document or (B) in connection with the sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor in a transaction expressly permitted under or pursuant to this Agreement,

(ii) change any other provision of this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents requiring, by its terms, the consent or approval of all the Lenders for such amendment, modification, waiver, discharge, termination or consent, or

(iii) change or waive any provision of Section 2.13, any other provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document requiring pro rata treatment of any Lenders, or this Section 11.5;

(c) unless agreed to in writing by each Issuing Lender, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required as provided hereinabove to take such action, affect the respective rights or obligations of the Issuing Lenders, the Swingline Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, hereunder or under any of the other Credit Documents; and

(d) unless agreed to in writing by each Hedge Party and Cash Management Bank affected thereby in its capacity as such, (i) amend the definition of “Guaranteed Obligations” in the Guaranty (or any similar defined term in any other Credit Document benefiting such Hedge Party), (ii) amend the definition of “Guaranteed Parties” in the Guaranty (or any similar defined term in any other Credit Document benefiting such Hedge Party), (iii) amend any provision regarding priority of payments in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (iv) release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty (other than (A) as may be otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document or (B) in connection with the sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor in a transaction expressly permitted under or pursuant to this Agreement);

and provided further that the Fee Letters may only be amended or modified, and any rights thereunder waived, in a writing signed by the parties thereto.

Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all Lenders is required in certain circumstances as set forth above, each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any bankruptcy reorganization plan that affects the Loans, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code supersedes the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) 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 than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender and (ii) if the Administrative Agent and Group shall have jointly identified (each in its sole discretion) an obvious error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of the Credit Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the applicable Credit Parties shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Credit Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five Business Days following the posting of such amendment to the Lenders.

11.6 Successors and Assigns.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither any Borrower nor any other Credit Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6(e) or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 11.6(f) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 11.6(e) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 11.6(b), participations in Letters of Credit and in Swingline Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) (A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of

an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned, or (B) in any case not described in clause (A) above, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than (x) $5,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of a Revolving Commitment (which for this purpose includes Revolving Loans outstanding), or (y) the entire Swingline Commitment and the full amount of the outstanding Swingline Loans, in the case of Swingline Loans, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Group otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(ii) 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, except that this Section 11.6(b)(ii) shall not apply to rights in respect of Swingline Loans.

(iii) no consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clause (B) of Section 11.6(b)(i) and, in addition:

(A) the consent of Group (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, it being understood that it will not be unreasonable for Group to withhold its consent to any assignment to a competitor) shall be required unless (y) a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (z) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that Group shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof;

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

(C) the consent of the Issuing Lenders (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding); and

(D) the consent of the Swingline Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of a Revolving Commitment;

(iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 for each assignment and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire;

(v) no such assignment shall be made to (A) the Managing Member, Group or any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B); and

(vi) no such assignment shall be made to a natural person or any holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.6(c), 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 hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.2(a), 3.2(b), 3.1, 3.5 and 11.1 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. If requested by or on behalf of the assignee, upon the simultaneous receipt of any original executed Note issued to the Defaulting Lender marked “cancelled,” the Borrowers, at their own expense, will execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a new Note or Notes to the order of the assignee (and, if the assigning Lender has retained any portion of its rights and obligations hereunder, to the order of the assigning Lender), prepared in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 2.11 as necessary to reflect, after giving effect to the assignment, the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans, as the case may be, of the assignee and (to the extent of any retained interests) the assigning Lender, in substantially the form of Exhibits A-1 and/or A-2, as applicable. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.6(b) 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 Section 11.6(e).

(c) 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 Administrative 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 Group and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable

100

assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. 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.

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at its address for notices referred to in Schedule 1.1(a) 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 Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative 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. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by each of the Borrowers, the Guarantors and the Issuing Lenders, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In addition, at any time that a request for a consent for a material or substantive change to the Credit Documents is pending, any Lender wishing to consult with other Lenders in connection therewith may request and receive from the Administrative Agent a copy of the Register.

(e) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person (or any holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person), a competitor of any Borrower, or Group or any of Group’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (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 Commitments and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans) 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 Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Swingline Lender 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 Section 11.5(a) and clause (i) of Section 11.5(b) that affects such Participant. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.2(a), 3.2(b), and 3.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.6(b); provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.6 as if it were an assignee under Section 11.6(b) and

101

(B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.1 or 3.2, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrowers’ request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.6 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.3 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other Obligations under the Credit Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(f) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Notes, 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.

(g) The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures 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 or any state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

(h) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment, participation, pledge or proposed assignment, participation or pledge pursuant to this Section 11.6, disclose to the assignee, Participant or pledgee or proposed assignee, Participant or pledgee any information relating to Group and its Subsidiaries furnished to it by or on behalf of any other party hereto; provided that such assignee, Participant or pledgee or proposed assignee, Participant or pledgee agrees in writing to keep such information confidential to the same extent required of the Lenders under Section 11.11.

102

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo assigns all of its Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans in accordance with this Section 11.6, ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo may resign as an Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender upon written notice to Group and the Lenders. Upon any such notice of resignation, Group shall have the right to appoint from among the Lenders a successor Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender; provided that no failure by Group to make such appointment shall affect the resignation of ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo as an Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender. ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo shall retain all of the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it and Swingline Loans made by it, in each case outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation and all obligations of the Borrowers and the Revolving Lenders with respect thereto (including the right to require the Revolving Lenders to make Revolving Loans or fund participation interests with respect thereto).

11.7 No Waiver. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Credit Documents are cumulative and in addition to, and not exclusive of, all other rights and remedies available at law, in equity or otherwise. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default. No course of dealing between any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or their agents or employees shall be effective to amend, modify or discharge any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or to constitute a waiver of any Default or Event of Default. No notice to or demand upon any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise any right or remedy or take any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

11.8 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by or on behalf of the Managing Member, any Borrower or any other Credit Party in this Agreement and in the other Credit Documents and in the certificates or other instruments required to be delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the extension of any credit hereunder, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan, any L/C Obligation, or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. In addition, notwithstanding anything herein or under applicable law to the contrary, the provisions of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents relating to indemnification or payment of costs and expenses, including the provisions of Sections 2.8(f), 3.1, 3.2(a), 3.2(b), 3.5 and 11.1, shall survive the payment in full of all Loans and L/C Obligations, the termination of the Commitments and all Letters of Credit, and any termination of this Agreement or any of the

103

other Credit Documents until satisfied or the applicable statute of limitations with respect thereto has run.

11.9 Severability. To the extent any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by or invalid under the applicable law of any jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity and only in such jurisdiction, without prohibiting or invalidating such provision in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions of this Agreement in any jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.9, 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 Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender or the Swingline Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

11.10 Construction. The headings of the various articles, sections and subsections of this Agreement and the table of contents have been inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and in the other Credit Documents, in the event of any inconsistency or conflict between any provision of this Agreement and any provision of any of the other Credit Documents, the provision of this Agreement shall control. Any Hedge Agreement between any Borrower and any Hedge Party is an independent agreement governed by the writing provisions of such Hedge Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect, unaffected by any repayment, prepayment, acceleration, reduction, increase or change in the terms applicable to the Obligations under this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided in such Hedge Agreement, and any payoff statement from the Administrative Agent relating to this Agreement shall not apply to such Hedge Agreement except as expressly provided therein. Any Cash Management Agreement between any Borrower and any Cash Management Bank is an independent agreement governed by the written provisions of such Cash Management Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect, unaffected by any repayment, prepayment, acceleration, reduction, increase or change in the terms applicable to the Obligations under this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided in such Cash Management Agreement, and any payoff statement from the Administrative Agent relating to this Agreement shall not apply to such Cash Management Agreement except as expressly provided therein.

11.11 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority); (c) to the extent required by applicable Requirements of Law or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Credit Document or any Hedge Agreement or any Cash Management Agreement or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or any Hedge Agreement or any Cash Management Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) subject to an agreement

104

containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 11.11, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrowers and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder; (g) on a confidential basis, to (i) any rating agency in connection with Group or its Subsidiaries or the facilities created hereunder or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the facilities created hereunder; (h) with the consent of Group; or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 11.11 or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Issuing Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Group.

For purposes of this Section 11.11, “Information” means all written information received from the Credit Parties relating to any Consolidated Entity or Affiliate or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Consolidated Entity; provided that, in the case of written information received from any Credit Party after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 11.11 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

11.12 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof (except for the Fee Letters). Except as provided in Section 4.1, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic format (e.g., “pdf” or “tif” file format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

11.13 Disclosure of Information. The Borrowers agree and consent to the Administrative Agent’s and the Arranger’s disclosure of information relating to this transaction to Gold Sheets and other similar bank trade publications. Such information will consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications, subject to confidentiality obligations or disclosure restrictions reasonably requested by the Managing Member, including its prior approval of the form of any use of the name and logo of the Managing Member and subject to any regulatory limitations applicable to investment advisors.

11.14 USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the PATRIOT Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrowers

105

that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Credit Parties, which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Credit Parties in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.

11.15 Non-Recourse Obligations. No Person other than the Credit Parties shall be liable for any payment on the Obligations by operation of law or otherwise, and the Lenders shall look only to the Credit Parties and their assets for payment of the Obligations.

106

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