SECTION 2.                            COMMITTED LOANS AND COMMITTED NOTES

Section 2.1.                                         Agreement to Make Committed Loans.  On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each Lender, severally and for itself alone, agrees to make loans (herein collectively called “Committed Loans” and individually each called a “Committed Loan”) on a revolving basis from time to time from the Closing Date until such Lender’s Termination Date in such Lender’s Percentage of such aggregate amounts as the Borrower may from time to time request as provided in Section 2.2; provided, that, (a) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Committed Loans of any Lender shall not at any time exceed the amount set forth opposite such Lender’s name on Schedule I (as reduced in accordance with Section 4.1, Section 12.4 or Section 12.9), (b) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Committed Loans of all Lenders shall not at any time exceed the then Aggregate Commitment, and (c) at no time shall there be more than 15 Committed Loans outstanding.  Within the limits of this Section 2.1, the Borrower may from time to time borrow, prepay and reborrow Committed Loans on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

23

Section 2.2.                                         Procedure for Committed Loans.

(a)                                 Committed Loan Requests.  The Borrower shall give the Agent irrevocable telephonic notice at the Notice Office (promptly confirmed in writing on the same day), not later than 10:30 a.m., New York City time, (i) at least three Business Days prior to the Funding Date in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans or (ii) at least one business day prior to the Funding Date in the case of Base Rate Loans, of each requested Committed Loan, and the Agent shall promptly advise each Lender thereof.  Each such notice to the Agent (a “Committed Loan Request”) shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A and shall specify (i) the Funding Date (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the aggregate amount of the Committed Loans requested (in an amount permitted under clause (b) below), (iii) whether each Committed Loan shall be a LIBOR Rate Loan or a Base Rate Loan and (iv) if a LIBOR Rate Loan, the Loan Period therefor (subject to the limitations set forth in the definition of Loan Period).  After giving effect to all Committed Loans, all Conversions of Committed Loans from one Type to the other and all Continuations of LIBOR Rate Loans, there shall not be more than ten Loan Periods in effect with respect to Committed Loans.

(b)                                 Amount and Increments of Committed Loans.  Each Committed Loan Request shall contemplate Committed Loans in a minimum aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or a higher integral multiple of $1,000,000, not to exceed in the aggregate (for all requested Committed Loans) the excess of the then Aggregate Commitment over the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Committed Loans, calculated as of the relevant Funding Date.

(c)                                  Funding of Committed Loans.

(i)                           Not later than 12:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Funding Date of a Committed Loan, each Lender shall, subject to this Section 2.2(c), provide the Agent at its Notice Office with immediately available funds covering such Lender’s Committed Loan and the Agent shall pay over such funds to the Borrower not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on such day if the Agent shall have received the documents required under Section 9 with respect to such Committed Loan and the other conditions precedent to the making of such Committed Loan shall have been satisfied not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such day.  If the Agent does not receive such documents or such other conditions precedent have not been satisfied prior to such time, then (A) the Agent shall not pay over such funds to the Borrower, (B) the Borrower’s Committed Loan Request related to such Committed Loan shall be deemed cancelled in its entirety, (C) in the case of Committed Loan Requests relative to LIBOR Rate Loans, the Borrower shall be liable to each Lender in accordance with Section 6.4 and (D) the Agent shall return the amount previously provided to the Agent by each Lender on the next following Business Day.

(ii)                        The Borrower agrees, notwithstanding its previous delivery of any documents required under Section 9 with respect to a particular Committed Loan, immediately to notify the Agent of any failure by it to satisfy the conditions precedent to the making of such Committed Loan.  The Agent shall be entitled to assume, after it has received each of the documents required under Section 9 with respect to a particular Committed Loan, that each of the conditions precedent to the making of such Committed Loan has been satisfied absent actual knowledge to the contrary received by the Agent prior to the time of the receipt of such

24

documents.  Unless the Agent shall have notified the Lenders prior to 10:30 a.m., New York City time, on the Funding Date of any Committed Loan that the Agent has actual knowledge that the conditions precedent to the making of such Committed Loan have not been satisfied, the Lenders shall be entitled to assume that such conditions precedent have been satisfied.

(d)                                 Repayment of Committed Loans.  If any Lender is to make a Committed Loan hereunder on a day on which the Borrower is to repay (or has elected to prepay, pursuant to Section 4.2) all or any part of any outstanding Committed Loan held by such Lender, the proceeds of such new Committed Loan shall be applied to make such repayment and only an amount equal to the positive difference, if any, between the amount being borrowed and the amount being repaid shall be requested by the Agent to be made available by such Lender to the Agent as provided in Section 2.2(c).

Section 2.3.                                         Maturity of Committed Loans.  Except for a Base Rate Loan, which shall mature on the Termination Date, a Committed Loan made by a Lender shall mature on the last day of the Loan Period applicable to such Committed Loan, but in no event later than the Termination Date for such Lender; provided, that, a LIBOR Rate Loan that would otherwise mature at the end of a Loan Period may instead be Converted to a Base Rate Loan or Continued as a LIBOR Rate Loan for a new Loan Period pursuant to Section 2.4 or become a Base Rate Loan at the end of such Loan Period pursuant to Section 3.1(b).

Section 2.4.                                         Optional Conversion or Continuation of Committed Loans.  The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion or Continuation and subject to the provisions of Sections 3.1, Convert all Committed Loans of one Type comprising the same borrowing hereunder into Committed Loans of the other Type or Continue all LIBOR Rate Loans comprising the same borrowing hereunder for a new Loan Period; provided, however, that any Conversion of LIBOR Rate Loans into Base Rate Loans and any Continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans for a new Loan Period shall be made only (x) on the last day of a Loan Period for such LIBOR Rate Loans or (y) on any day other than the last day of a Loan Period for such LIBOR Rate Loans so long as the Borrower pays the amounts payable pursuant to Section 6.4(a), any Conversion of Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Rate Loans or Continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified in Section 2.2(b) and no Conversion or Continuation of any Committed Loans shall result in more separate Committed Loans than permitted under Section 2.2(a); provided, further, that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default no Conversion of Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Rate Loans or Continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans for a new Loan Period shall be permitted.  Each such notice of a Conversion or Continuation shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion or Continuation, (ii) the Committed Loans to be Converted or Continued, and (iii) if such Conversion is into LIBOR Rate Loans or if such notice is of a Continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans, the duration of the initial (or Continued) Loan Period for each such Committed Loan.  Each notice of Conversion or Continuation shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.

25

SECTION 3.                                                    INTEREST AND FEES

Section 3.1.                                         Interest Rates.  The Borrower hereby promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Committed Loan for the period commencing on the Funding Date for such Committed Loan until such Committed Loan is paid in full, as follows:

(a)                                 if such Committed Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate from time to time in effect; provided, however, that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, such Committed Loan that is a Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a rate per annum (calculated on the basis of a 365-day year for the actual number of days elapsed) equal to the Base Rate from time to time in effect plus 2% per annum; and

(b)                                 if such Committed Loan is a LIBOR Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate applicable to the Loan Period for such Loan; provided, however, that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, such Committed Loan that is a LIBOR Rate Loan shall, at the end of the applicable Loan Period then in effect, bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a rate per annum (calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days involved) equal to the Base Rate from time to time in effect (but not less than the interest rate in effect for such Committed Loan immediately prior to maturity of such Committed Loan) plus 2% per annum.

Section 3.2.                                         Interest Payment Dates.  Except for Base Rate Loans, as to which accrued interest shall be payable on the last day of each calendar quarter and on the Termination Date, accrued interest on each Committed Loan shall be payable in arrears on the last day of the one, two or three month, as applicable, Loan Period therefor and with respect to each LIBOR Rate Loan with a Loan Period of six months, on the day that is three months after the first day of such Loan Period (or, if there is no day in such third month numerically corresponding to such first day of the Loan Period, on the last Business Day of such month).  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, accrued interest on any Committed Loan shall be payable on demand.  If any interest payment date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, such interest payment date shall be postponed to the next succeeding Business Day and the interest paid shall cover the period of postponement (except that if the Committed Loan is a LIBOR Rate Loan and the next succeeding Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such interest payment date shall be the immediately preceding Business Day).

Section 3.3.                                         Setting and Notice of Committed Loan Rates.

(a)                                 The applicable interest rate for each Committed Loan hereunder shall be determined by the Agent in accordance with this Agreement and notice thereof shall be given by the Agent promptly to the Borrower and to each Lender.  Each determination of the applicable interest rate by the Agent shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto in the absence of demonstrable error.

26

(b)                                 In the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, if as to any Loan Period the Screen Rate is not available and the substitute or successor pages or screens are also unavailable, then (i) the Agent shall promptly notify the other parties thereof and (ii) at the option of the Borrower the Committed Loan Request delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.2(a) with respect to such Funding Date shall be cancelled or shall be deemed to have specified a Base Rate Loan.  For the avoidance of doubt, in the circumstances described in the immediately preceding sentence, the obligation of the Lenders to make or Continue LIBOR Rate Loans or to Convert Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist (which notice shall be provided by the Agent promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist).

(c)                                  The Agent shall, upon written request of the Borrower or any Lender, deliver to the Borrower or such Lender a statement showing the computations used by the Agent in determining the interest rate applicable to any LIBOR Rate Loan.

Section 3.4.                                         Commitment Fee.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the accounts of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentages an annual commitment fee computed by multiplying the average daily amount of the unused Aggregate Commitment by the applicable percentage determined with respect to such commitment fee in accordance with Schedule II hereto.  Such fee shall commence accruing on the Closing Date and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year (beginning with the last Business Day of the first full calendar quarter ending after the Closing Date) until the Commitments have expired or have been terminated and on the date of such expiration or termination (and, in the case of any Terminating Lender, such Lender’s Termination Date), in each case for the period then ending for which such commitment fee has not previously been paid; provided, that, no Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any commitment fee in respect of its Commitment for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

Section 3.5.                                         Agent’s Fees.  The Borrower agrees promptly to pay to the Agent such fees as may be agreed from time to time by the Borrower, the Company and the Agent.

Section 3.6.                                         Computation of Interest and Fees.  All interest and commitment fees hereunder shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year; provided that, for any period when the Base Rate is determined based on clause (b) of the definition of Base Rate, all interest accruing at the Base Rate for such period shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 365/366 day year.  The interest rate applicable to each LIBOR Rate Loan and Base Rate Loan shall change simultaneously with each change in the LIBOR Rate or the Base Rate, as applicable.

27

SECTION 4.                            REDUCTION OR TERMINATION OF THE COMMITMENTS; REPAYMENT; PREPAYMENTS; INCREASE OF COMMITMENTS

Section 4.1.                                         Voluntary Termination or Reduction of the Commitments.

(a)                                 The Borrower may at any time on at least 3 Business Days’ prior notice received by the Agent (which shall promptly on the same day or on the next Business Day advise each Lender thereof) permanently reduce the amount of the Commitments (such reduction to be pro rata among the Lenders according to their respective Percentages) to an amount not less than the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Committed Loans.  Any such reduction shall be in the amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.  Concurrently with any such reduction, the Borrower shall prepay the principal of any Committed Loans outstanding to the extent that the aggregate amount of such Committed Loans outstanding shall then exceed the Aggregate Commitment, as so reduced.  The Borrower may from time to time on like notice terminate the Commitments upon payment in full of all Committed Loans, all interest accrued thereon, all fees and all other obligations of the Borrower hereunder.  Any notice of reduction or termination in full of the Commitments hereunder may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or capital raising, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

(b)                                 Termination of Defaulting Lender.  The Borrower shall be entitled at any time to (i) terminate the unused Commitment of any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender (the “Defaulted Commitments”) upon prior notice of not less than one Business Day to the Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and/or (ii) replace all of the Commitments or the Defaulted Commitments of any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender with Commitments of a Successor Lender, provided, that, (x) each such assignment shall be either an assignment of all of the rights and obligations of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or an assignment of a portion of such rights and obligations made concurrently with another such assignment or other such assignments that together cover all of the rights and obligations of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement with respect to all of the Commitments or the Defaulted Commitments, as the case may be, and (y) concurrently with such assignment, either the Borrower or one or more Successor Lenders shall pay for the account of such Defaulting Lender an aggregate amount at least equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Committed Loans owing to such Defaulting Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount and all other amounts payable to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement.  In either such event, the provisions of Section 4.3 shall apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower or such Successor Lender for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, commitment fees or other amounts), provided, that, such termination or assignment shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Agent, or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

Section 4.2.                                         Voluntary Prepayments.  The Borrower may voluntarily prepay Committed Loans without premium or penalty, except as may be required pursuant to subsection (d) below, in whole or in part; provided, that, (a) each prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof,

28

(b) the Borrower shall give the Agent at its Notice Office (which shall promptly advise each Lender), not later than 10:30 a.m., New York City time, (i) at least two Business Days’ prior notice thereof for prepayments of LIBOR Rate Loans or (ii) same day notice thereof for prepayments of Base Rate Loans, specifying the Committed Loans to be prepaid and the date and amount of prepayment, (c) any prepayment of principal of any Committed Loan shall include accrued interest to the date of prepayment on the principal amount being prepaid and (d) any prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6.4.  Any notice of prepayment in full of all Committed Loans hereunder or reduction of Commitments in full may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or capital raising, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

Section 4.3.                                         Defaulting Lenders.

(a)                                 No Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 4.3 or otherwise specifically provided herein, performance by the Borrower of its obligations shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of the operation of this Section 4.3.  The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 4.3 are in addition to any other rights and remedies which the Borrower, the Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

(b)                                 If the Borrower and the Agent agree in writing in their reasonable determination that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Commitments of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Commitments to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided, that, no adjustments will be made retroactively or with duplication with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any payment of principal, interest, commitment fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of any Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity or otherwise) shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows:  first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), to the funding of any Committed Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; third, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fourth, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to the

29

payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and fifth, 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 Committed Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Committed Loans were made at a time when the applicable conditions set forth in Section 9 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Committed Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Committed Loans of such Defaulting Lender and provided, further, that any amounts held as cash collateral for funding obligations of a Defaulting Lender shall be returned to such Defaulting Lender upon the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction of such Defaulting Lender’s obligations hereunder.  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 4.3 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

Section 4.4.                                         Increase of Commitments.

(a)                                 The Borrower shall have the right at any time after the Closing Date to increase the aggregate Commitments hereunder in accordance with the following provisions and subject to the following conditions:

(i)                           The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly deliver a copy thereof to each of the Lenders, at least 10 Business Days’ (or such lesser period as the Administrative Agent may reasonably agree) prior written notice (a “Notice of Increase”) of any such requested increase specifying the aggregate amount by which the Commitments are to be increased (the “Requested Increase Amount”), which shall be at least $5,000,000 and in increments of $1,000,000 thereafter, and the requested date of increase (the “Requested Increase Date”).  The Borrower may, but shall not be obligated to, offer to any Lender the right to provide all or any portion of the Requested Increase Amount.  No Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to offer to increase its Commitment by an amount specified by the Borrower or otherwise.  Any Lender that so offers to increase its Commitment, which increase is accepted by the Borrower, is herein called an “Increasing Lender”.

(ii)                        If the aggregate amount of the increases offered and accepted pursuant to clause (i) above, if any, is less than the Requested Increase Amount, the Borrower may, through the Administrative Agent, offer the balance of the Requested Increase Amount to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that the Commitment to be acquired hereunder by any such Eligible Assignee shall not be less than $1,000,000.  Any such Eligible Assignee that agrees to acquire a Commitment pursuant hereto is herein called an “Additional Lender”.

(iii)                     Effective on the Requested Increase Date, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, (x) Schedule I shall be deemed amended to reflect the increases contemplated hereby, (y) the Commitment of each Increasing Lender shall be increased by the amount agreed by such Increasing Lender and the Borrower, and (z) each Additional Lender shall enter into an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative

30

Agent pursuant to which it shall undertake, as of such Requested Increase Date, a new Commitment in the amount determined pursuant to clause (ii) above, and such Additional Lender shall thereupon be deemed to be a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement.

(iv)                    If on the Requested Increase Date there are borrowings of Committed Loans outstanding hereunder, appropriate adjustments shall be made (by the making of borrowings of Committed Loans by the Increasing Lenders and the Additional Lenders and/or the prepayment of outstanding borrowings of Committed Loans) as necessary to cause the outstanding borrowings of Committed Loans to be held ratably by all Lenders.

(b)                                 Anything in this Section 4.4 to the contrary notwithstanding, no increase in the aggregate Commitments hereunder pursuant to this Section shall be effective unless:

(i)                           on the relevant Requested Increase Date and after giving effect to such increase, (x) no Default under Section 10.1.1 or 10.1.3 or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (y) the representations and warranties contained in Section 7 (other than those contained in Section 7.5) shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Requested Increase Date and after giving effect thereto, with the same effect as though made on the Requested Increase Date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date; and

(ii)                        after giving effect to any such increase the aggregate amount of the Commitments shall not exceed $4,000,000,000.

SECTION 5.                            MAKING AND PRORATION OF PAYMENTS; SET-OFF; TAXES

Section 5.2.                                         Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing.

(a)                                 Except as required pursuant to Section 3.4, Section 4.3, Section 6 or Section 12.9, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Committed Loans, each payment of interest on the Committed Loans and each payment of the commitment fee shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages.

(b)                                 If any Lender or other holder of a Committed Loan shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of offset or otherwise)

31

on account of principal of, interest on or fees or other amounts with respect to any Committed Loan in excess of the share of payments and other recoveries (exclusive of payments or recoveries under Section 6 or pursuant to Section 12.9) such Lender or other holder would have received if such payment had been distributed pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.2(a), such Lender or other holder shall purchase from the other Lenders or holders, in a manner to be specified by the Agent, such participations in the Committed Loans held by them as shall be necessary so that all such payments of principal and interest with respect to the Committed Loans shall be shared by the Lenders and other holders pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentages; provided, however, that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender or holder, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

Section 5.3.                                         Set-off.  Each Obligor agrees that the Agent, each Lender and any of their respective branches or agencies, to the extent permitted by applicable law, has all rights of set-off and banker’s lien provided by applicable law, and each Obligor further agrees that at any time, (i) any amount owing by any Obligor under this Agreement is due to any such Person or (ii) any Event of Default exists, each such Person, to the extent permitted by applicable law, may apply to the payment of any amount payable hereunder any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of such Obligor then or thereafter with such Person.

Section 5.4.                                         Taxes.  (a)  Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Obligor under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law.  If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Obligor 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) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

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

(c)                                  Evidence of Payment.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Obligor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, the Borrower 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.

(d)                                 Indemnification by the Borrower.  The Borrower shall 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, but without duplication of increased amounts the Borrower has paid in respect of

32

Taxes pursuant to Section 5.4(a)) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

(f)                                   Status of Lenders.  (i)(A) Each Lender shall certify in writing to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date it becomes a Lender whether it is a Qualifying Lender and (B) any Lender that is entitled to benefit from an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 5.4(f)(ii) below) 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, if a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement 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 the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such

33

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

(iii)                               Each Lender agrees (A) that if any form, certification or representation it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form, certification or representation or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so; and (B) if it no longer qualifies as a Qualifying Lender after the date it becomes a Lender, it will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing.

(g)                                  Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), 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 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 paragraph (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 paragraph, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph 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 paragraph 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.

(h)                                 Indemnification of Borrower.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Borrower within 10 Business Days after written demand with adequate supporting documentation for any Excluded Tax actually paid by the Borrower to a governmental entity solely and directly attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with Section 5.4(f)(i)(A) or Section 5.4(f)(iii)(B) as it relates to the certification provided in Section 5.4(f)(i)(A).

(i)                                     Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.4 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

34

SECTION 6.                            INCREASED COSTS AND SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR LIBOR RATE LOANS

Section 6.1.                                         Increased Costs.  (a)  If after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or the making or issuance of any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency and compliance by any Lender (or any Funding Office of such Lender) therewith, then, subject to the provisions of Section 5.4, which shall provide the sole source of additional amounts payable to any Lender with respect to the matters covered therein,

(A)                               shall subject any Lender (or any Funding Office of such Lender) to any Taxes with respect to its LIBOR Rate Loans (except for (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (iii) Connection Income Taxes);

(B)                               shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including any reserve imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding any reserve included in the determination of interest pursuant to Section 3.1), special deposit, assessment (including any assessment for insurance of deposits) or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (or any Funding Office of such Lender); or

(C)                               shall impose on any Lender (or any Funding Office of such Lender) any other condition affecting its LIBOR Rate Loans, its Committed Notes or its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to (or to impose an additional cost on) such Lender (or any Funding Office of such Lender) of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (or such Lender’s Funding Office) under this Agreement or under its Committed Notes with respect thereto, then within 10 days after demand by such Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis of such demand), the Borrower shall pay directly to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or such reduction (without duplication of any amounts which have been paid or reimbursed).

(b)                                 If, after the date hereof, any Lender shall determine that the adoption, effectiveness or phase-in of any applicable law, rule, guideline or regulation regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or the making or issuance of any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency and compliance by any Lender (or any Funding Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company) therewith, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such

35

Lender or such Lender’s holding company as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Lender’s holding company’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity requirements), then, from time to time, within 10 days after demand by such Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis of such demand), the Borrower shall pay directly to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for such reduction.

(c)                                  Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 6.1 and will designate a different Funding Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in such Lender’s sole judgment, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 6.1 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the change in law or other event occurring after the date hereof giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the change in law or other such event is retroactive, then the nine month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(d)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, it is understood and agreed that any changes resulting from requests, rules, guidelines or directives (x) issued in connection with the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or (y) promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III) shall, for the purposes of this Agreement, be deemed to be adopted subsequent to the date hereof; provided, however, that no Lender shall be entitled to receive any compensation or reimbursement hereunder with respect to any such changes unless such requirements are generally applicable to (and for which reimbursement is generally being sought by the applicable Lender in respect of) credit transactions similar to this transaction from borrowers similarly situated to the Borrower; provided, further, that no Lender shall be required to disclose any confidential or proprietary information in connection therewith.

Section 6.2.                                         Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair.  If with respect to the Loan Period for any LIBOR Rate Loan:

(a)                                 the Screen Rate is not available and the substitute or successor pages or screens are also unavailable for such Loan Period, or the Agent otherwise determines (which determination shall be binding and conclusive on all parties) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the Base LIBOR market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable LIBOR Rate; or

(b)                                 the Required Lenders advise the Agent that the LIBOR Rate as determined by the Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Required Lenders of maintaining or funding LIBOR Rate Loans for such Loan Period, or that the making or funding of LIBOR Rate Loans has become impracticable as a result of an event occurring

36

after the date of this Agreement which in such Required Lenders’ opinion materially affects LIBOR Rate Loans,

then (i) the Agent shall promptly notify the other parties thereof and (ii) so long as such circumstances shall continue, no Lender shall be under any obligation to make or Continue any LIBOR Rate Loan or Convert any Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Rate Loan.

Section 6.3.                                         Changes in Law Rendering Certain Loans Unlawful.  In the event that any change in (including the adoption of any new) applicable laws or regulations, or in the interpretation of applicable laws or regulations by any Governmental Authority or other regulatory body charged with the administration thereof, should make it (or in the good faith judgment of such Lender raise a substantial question as to whether it is) unlawful for a Lender to make, maintain or fund any LIBOR Rate Loan, then (a) such Lender shall promptly notify each of the other parties hereto, (b) upon the effectiveness of such event and so long as such unlawfulness shall continue, the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended and any request by the Borrower for LIBOR Rate Loans shall, as to such Lender, be deemed to be a request for a Base Rate Loan, and (c) on the last day of the current Loan Period for such Lender’s LIBOR Rate Loans (or, in any event, if such Lender so requests on such earlier date as may be required by the relevant law, regulation or interpretation) such Lender’s Committed Loans which are LIBOR Rate Loans shall cease to be maintained as LIBOR Rate Loans and shall thereafter bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to the Base Rate.  If at any time the event giving rise to such unlawfulness shall no longer exist, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent.

Section 6.4.                                         Funding Losses.  The Borrower hereby agrees that upon demand by any Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for the calculations of the amount being claimed) the Borrower will indemnify such Lender against any net loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur (including any net loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain any LIBOR Rate Loan), as reasonably determined by such Lender, as a result of (a) any payment or mandatory or voluntary prepayment (including any payment pursuant to Section 6.3 or 12.9(b) or any payment resulting from acceleration) or Conversion or Continuation of any LIBOR Rate Loan of such Lender on a date other than the last day of the Loan Period for such Loan or (b) any failure of the Borrower to borrow any Committed Loans on the originally scheduled Funding Date specified therefor pursuant to this Agreement (including any failure to borrow resulting from any failure to satisfy the conditions precedent to such borrowing) or to Continue any LIBOR Rate Loans on the date specified therefor pursuant to this Agreement.  For this purpose, all notices to the Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be irrevocable.

Section 6.5.                                         Discretion of Lenders as to Manner of Funding.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary (but subject to Section 6.1(c)), each Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Committed Loans in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder shall be made as if such Lender had actually funded and maintained each LIBOR Rate Loan during the Loan Period for such LIBOR Rate Loan through

37

the purchase of deposits having a maturity corresponding to such Loan Period and bearing an interest rate equal to the rate borne by such LIBOR Rate Loan for such Loan Period.

Section 6.6.                                         Conclusiveness of Statements; Survival of Provisions.  Determinations and statements of any Lender pursuant to this Section 6 shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error, and each Lender may use reasonable averaging and attribution methods in determining compensation pursuant to Section 6.1 or 6.4.  The provisions of this Section 6 shall survive termination of this Agreement and payment of the Committed Loans.

SECTION 7.                            REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

To induce the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make Committed Loans hereunder, each Obligor hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Agent and the Lenders (a) as of the Closing Date, and (b) other than the representations and warranties in Section 7.5, as of each Funding Date, which representations and warranties shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Committed Notes and the disbursement of the initial Committed Loans hereunder:

Section 7.3.                                         Validity and Binding Nature.  (a)  This Agreement is, each Guarantee Assumption Agreement when duly executed and delivered will be, and the Committed Notes (if any) when duly executed and delivered will be, legal, valid and binding obligations of each Obligor party thereto, enforceable against each such Obligor in accordance with their respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles.

(b)                                 As of the Closing Date, there is no Litigation Action pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the enforceability of the Loan Documents against the Obligors or the rights and remedies of the Agent or the Lenders thereunder.

Section 7.6.                                         Employee Benefit Plans.  Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) maintained or sponsored by the Company or any Subsidiary complies in

39

all material respects with all applicable requirements of law and regulations.  During the term of this Agreement, (i) no steps have been taken to terminate any Plan and no contribution failure has occurred with respect to any Plan sufficient to give rise to a lien under Section 303(k) of ERISA, (ii) no Reportable Event has occurred with respect to any Plan, (iii) no determination has been made that any Plan is in “at risk” status (within the meaning of Section 303 of ERISA) and (iv) neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has either withdrawn or instituted steps to withdraw from any Multiemployer Plan, except in any such case specified in clause (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, for actions which individually or in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no condition exists or event or transaction has occurred in connection with any Plan which could reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence by the Company or any Subsidiary of any material liability, fine or penalty (imposed by Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502(i) of ERISA or otherwise).  Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate is a member of, or contributes to, any Multiemployer Plan as to which the potential withdrawal liability based upon the most recent actuarial report could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any contingent liability with respect to any post retirement benefit under an employee welfare benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA), other than liability for continuation coverage described in Part 6 of Title I of ERISA.

Section 7.9.                                         Disclosure.  As of the Closing Date, (a) all written information (including the Information Memorandum), other than Projections (as defined below), forward looking information and information of a general economic or industry specific nature that has been made available to the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any Lender by the Company or any of its officers, directors, employees, accountants or attorneys or, at the direction of the Company, its other advisors, agents or representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, other than independent third-party appraisals of aircraft and independent third party generated industry information and when taken together with all reports, statements, schedules and other information included in filings made by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, taken as a whole, is complete and correct in all material respects and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made (giving effect to any supplements thereto from time to time) and (ii) all financial projections, if any, that have been prepared by the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and made

40

available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any potential Lender (the “Projections”) have been prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by the Company to be reasonable as of the date of the preparation of such Projections (it being understood that projections by their nature are inherently uncertain and no assurances are being given that the results reflected in the Projections will be achieved).

Section 7.10.                          Compliance with Applicable Laws, etc.  Each Obligor and each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance with the requirements of all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders of all Governmental Authorities (including ERISA or any laws applicable to a Foreign Plan and all applicable environmental laws), except for noncompliance that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  None of the Obligors nor any of the Subsidiaries is in default under any agreement or instrument to which such Obligor or such Subsidiary is a party or by which it or any of its properties or assets is bound, which default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the business, credit, operations or financial condition of the Obligors and their Subsidiaries taken as a whole.  No Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

Section 7.11.                          Insurance.  Each of the Obligors and each Subsidiary maintains, or, in the case of any property owned by any Obligor or any Subsidiary and leased to lessees, has contractually required such lessees to maintain, insurance with financially sound and reputable insurers to such extent and against such hazards and liabilities as is commonly maintained, or caused to be maintained, as the case may be, by companies similarly situated.

Section 7.12.                          Taxes.  Each of the Obligors and each Subsidiary has filed all material tax returns which are required to have been filed and has paid, or made adequate provisions for the payment of, all of its Taxes which are due and payable, except such Taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and as to which such reserves or other appropriate provisions as may be required by GAAP have been established, except where failure to pay such Taxes, individually or in the aggregate, cannot reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 7.13.                          Use of Proceeds.  The proceeds of the Committed Loans will be used for general corporate purposes of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

Section 7.14.                          Pari Passu.  All obligations and liabilities of any Obligor hereunder or under any Guarantee Assumption Agreement to which it is a party shall rank at least equally and ratably (pari passu) in priority with all other unsubordinated, unsecured obligations of such Obligor to any other creditor.

Section 7.15.                          OFAC, Etc.  The Company has implemented and maintains in effect policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance by the Company, its Subsidiaries and their directors, officers, employees and agents with applicable Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions, the USA PATRIOT Act and other applicable anti-terrorism and money laundering laws.  None of the Company or any Subsidiary, director, officer, employee or, to the knowledge of the Company after due inquiry, any agent of the Company or any Subsidiary that will act in any capacity in connection with or benefit from the credit facility established hereby, is a Sanctioned Person.  No borrowing hereunder will be made for any purpose that would constitute

41

or result in a violation by any party hereto, including the Lenders, of any applicable Anti-Corruption Laws, Sanctions, the USA PATRIOT Act or other anti-terrorism and money laundering laws.

SECTION 8.                            COVENANTS

Until the expiration or termination of the Commitments, and thereafter until all obligations of the Obligors hereunder and under the Committed Notes are paid in full (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations), each Obligor agrees that, commencing on the Closing Date, unless at any time the Required Lenders shall otherwise expressly consent in writing, it will:

Section 8.1.                                         Reports, Certificates and Other Information.  Furnish to the Agent with sufficient copies for each Lender which the Agent shall promptly make available to each Lender:

8.1.1                     Audited Financial Statements.  As soon as available, and in any event within 95 days after each fiscal year of the Company, a copy of the audited consolidated balance sheet and related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows and annual audit report of the Company and its subsidiaries for such fiscal year (setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the previous fiscal year) prepared on a consolidated basis and in conformity with GAAP and certified by PricewaterhouseCoopers Accountants N.V. or by another independent certified public accountant of recognized national standing selected by the Company.

8.1.2                     Interim Reports.  As soon as available, and in any event within 50 days after each quarter (except the last quarter) of each fiscal year of the Company, a copy of the unaudited consolidated balance sheet and related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the end of and for such quarter and the then elapsed portion of the fiscal year, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for (or, in the case of the balance sheet, as of the end of) the corresponding period or periods of the previous fiscal year, all certified by an Authorized Officer of the Company as presenting fairly in all material respects the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, subject to normal year end audit adjustments, the auditors’ year-end report and the absence of footnotes.

8.1.3                     Certificates.  Contemporaneously with the furnishing of a copy of each annual audit report and of each set of quarterly statements provided for in this Section 8.1, deliver a certificate of the Company, in substantially the form of Exhibit C hereto, dated the date of delivery of such annual report or such quarterly statements and signed by an Authorized Officer, to the effect that no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or, if there is any such event, describing it and the steps, if any, being taken to cure it and containing a computation of, and showing compliance with, each of the financial ratios and restrictions contained in this Section 8.

42

8.1.4                     Certain Notices.  Forthwith upon learning of the occurrence of any of the following, provide written notice thereof, describing the same and the steps being taken by the Company or the Subsidiary affected with respect thereto:

SECTION 11.                     THE AGENT

Section 11.1.                          Authorization and Authority.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Citibank, N.A. to act on its behalf as the Agent hereunder and under the Committed Notes and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Subject to the provisions of Section 11.4, the Agent will take such action permitted by any agreement delivered in connection with this Agreement as may be requested in writing by the Required Lenders or if required under Section 12.1, all of the Lenders.  Other than as expressly set forth herein, the Agent shall promptly remit in immediately available funds to each Lender its share of all payments received by the Agent for the account of such Lender, and shall promptly transmit to each Lender (or share with each Lender the contents of) each notice it receives from the Company pursuant to this Agreement.  Other than Section 11.9, the provisions of this Section 11 are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and the Company shall have no rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

Section 11.2.                          Agent Individually.  (a)  The Person serving as the Agent, if a Lender 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 Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

(b)                                 Each Lender understands that the Person serving as Agent, acting in its individual capacity, and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Agent’s Group”) are engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses (including investment management, financing, securities trading, corporate and investment banking and research) (such services and businesses are collectively referred to in this Section 11.2 as “Activities”) and may engage in the Activities with or on behalf of the Company or its Affiliates.  Furthermore, the Agent’s Group may, in undertaking the Activities, engage in trading in financial products or undertake other investment businesses for its own account or on behalf of others (including the Company and its Affiliates and including holding, for its own account or on behalf of others, equity, debt and similar positions in the Company or its Affiliates), including trading in or holding long, short or derivative positions in securities, loans or other financial products of one or more of the Company and its Affiliates.  Each Lender understands and agrees that in engaging in the Activities, the Agent’s Group may receive or otherwise obtain information concerning the Company and its Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder) which information may not be available to any of the Lenders that are not members of the Agent’s Group.  None of the Agent nor any member of the Agent’s Group shall have any duty to disclose to any Lender or use on behalf of the Lenders, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, any information whatsoever about or derived from the Activities or otherwise (including any information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Company) or to account for any revenue or profits obtained in connection with the Activities except that the

56

Agent shall deliver or otherwise make available to each Lender such documents as are expressly required by this Agreement to be transmitted by the Agent to the Lenders.

(c)                                  Each Lender further understands that there may be situations where members of the Agent’s Group or their respective customers (including the Company and its Affiliates) either now have or may in the future have interests or take actions that may conflict with the interests of any one or more of the Lenders (including the interests of the Lenders hereunder).  Each Lender agrees that no member of the Agent’s Group is or shall be required to restrict its activities as a result of the Person serving as Agent being a member of the Agent’s Group, and that each member of the Agent’s Group may undertake any Activities without further consultation with or notification to any Lender.  None of (i) this Agreement, (ii) the receipt by the Agent’s Group of information (including “Information” as defined in Section 12.6) concerning the Company or its Affiliates (including information concerning the ability of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder) nor (iii) any other matter shall give rise to any fiduciary, equitable or contractual (other than the administrative duties of the Agent expressly provided hereunder) duties (including any duty of trust or confidence) owing by the Agent or any member of the Agent’s Group to any Lender including any such duty that would prevent or restrict the Agent’s Group from acting on behalf of customers (including the Company or its Affiliates) or for its own account.

Section 11.3.                          Indemnification.  The Lenders agree to indemnify the Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Company and without releasing the Company from its obligation to do so, to the extent applicable), ratably according to their respective Percentages (determined at the time such indemnity is sought), from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses which may at any time (including at any time following the repayment of the Committed Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided, that, no Lender shall be liable for the payment to the Agent of any portion of such actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses resulting from the Agent’s or its employees’ or agents’ gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Without limiting the foregoing, subject to Section 12.5 each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share (determined at the time such reimbursement is sought) of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Agent in such capacity in connection with the preparation, execution or enforcement of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or any amendments or supplements hereto or thereto to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Company.  All obligations provided for in this Section 11.3 shall survive repayment of the Committed Loans, cancellation of the Committed Notes or any termination of this Agreement. For the purpose of this Section 11.3, Agent shall mean the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, directors, officers and employees.

Section 11.4.                          Action on Instructions of the Required Lenders.  As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement (including enforcement or collection of the Committed Loans), the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but the Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting upon the

57

written instructions from (i) the Required Lenders, except for instructions which under the express provisions hereof must be received by the Agent from all Lenders and (ii) in the case of such instructions, from all Lenders.  In no event will the Agent be required to take any action which exposes the Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law.  The relationship between the Agent and the Lenders is and shall be that of agent and principal only and nothing herein contained shall be construed to constitute the Agent a trustee for any holder of a Committed Loan or of a participation therein nor to impose on the Agent duties and obligations other than those expressly provided for herein.

Section 11.5.                          Payments.  (a)  The Agent shall be entitled to assume that each Lender has made its Committed Loan available in accordance with Section 2.2(c) unless such Lender notifies the Agent at its Notice Office prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Funding Date for such Committed Loan that it does not intend to make such Committed Loan available, it being understood that no such notice shall relieve such Lender of any of its obligations under this Agreement.  If the Agent makes any payment to the Borrower on the assumption that a Lender has made the proceeds of such Committed Loan available to the Agent but such Lender has not in fact made the proceeds of such Committed Loan available to the Agent, such Lender shall pay to the Agent on demand an amount equal to the amount of such Lender’s Committed Loan, together with interest thereon for each day that elapses from and including such Funding Date to but excluding the Business Day on which the proceeds of such Lender’s Committed Loan become immediately available to the Agent at its Payment Office prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, at the Federal Funds Rate for each such day, based upon a year of 360 days.  A certificate of the Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 11.5(a) shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.  If the proceeds of such Lender’s Committed Loan are not made available to the Agent at its Payment Office by such Lender within three Business Days of such Funding Date, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount upon two Business Days’ demand from the Borrower, together with interest thereon for each day that elapses from and including such Funding Date to but excluding the Business Day on which such proceeds become immediately available to the Agent prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, at the rate per annum applicable to Base Rate Loans hereunder, based upon a year of 360 days.  Nothing in this paragraph (a) shall relieve any Lender of any obligation it may have hereunder to make any Committed Loan or prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

(b)                                 The Agent shall be entitled to assume that the Borrower has made all payments due hereunder from the Borrower on the due date thereof unless it receives notification prior to any such due date from the Borrower that the Borrower does not intend to make any such payment, it being understood that no such notice shall relieve the Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement.  If the Agent distributes any payment to a Lender hereunder in the belief that the Borrower has paid to the Agent the amount thereof but the Borrower has not in fact paid to the Agent such amount, such Lender shall pay to the Agent on demand (which shall be made by facsimile or personal delivery) an amount equal to the amount of the payment made by the Agent to such Lender, together with interest thereon for each day that elapses from and including the date on which the Agent made such payment to but excluding the Business Day on which the amount of such payment is returned to the Agent at its Payment Office in immediately available funds prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, at the Federal Funds Rate for each

58

such day, based upon a year of 360 days.  If the amount of such payment is not returned to the Agent in immediately available funds within three Business Days after demand by the Agent, such Lender shall pay to the Agent on demand an amount calculated in the manner specified in the preceding sentence after substituting the term “Base Rate” for the term “Federal Funds Rate”.  A certificate of the Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to amounts owing under this Section 11.5(b) shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

Section 11.6.                          Duties of Agent; Exculpatory Provisions.  (a)  The Agent’s duties hereunder are solely ministerial and administrative in nature and the Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, but shall be required to act or refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written direction of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein), provided, that, the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent or any of its Affiliates to liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law.

(b)                                 The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 12.1, 11.1 or 10.1) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.  The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default or the event or events that give or may give rise to any Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default unless and until the Company or any Lender shall have given notice to the Agent describing such Event of Default and such event or events.

(c)                                  Neither the Agent nor any member of the Agent’s Group shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty, representation or other information made or supplied by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in or in connection with this Agreement or the Information Memorandum, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith or the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the information contained therein, (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 Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created hereby or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 9 or elsewhere herein, other than (but subject to the foregoing clause (ii)) to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.

(d)                                 Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Agent or any of its Related Parties to carry out any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any person on behalf of any Lender and each Lender confirms to the Agent that it is solely responsible for any such

59

checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by the Agent or any of its Related Parties.

Section 11.7.                          Reliance by Agent.  The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person or Persons.  The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Committed Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless an officer of the Agent responsible for the transactions contemplated hereby shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Committed Loan, and such Lender shall not have made available to the Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of the applicable Committed Loan.  The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), 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.

Section 11.8.                          Delegation of Duties.  The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by the Agent.  The Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  Each such sub agent and the Related Parties of the Agent and each such sub agent shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Section 11 and Section 12.5 and subject to the duties and obligations of the Agent under the Agreement (as though such sub-agents were the “Agent” hereunder) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.  The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent that it selects in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

Section 11.9.                          Resignation of Agent.  The Agent may resign as Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Company.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Company, to appoint a successor reasonably acceptable to the Company (such consent of the Company not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and not required if an Event of Default under Section 10.1.1 or 10.1.3 has occurred and is continuing) from among the Lenders, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof or the District of Columbia or under the laws of another country which is doing business in the United States of America and having a combined capital, surplus and undivided profits of at least $1,000,000,000.  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 Agent gives notice of its resignation (such 30-day period, the “Lender Appointment Period”), then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above.  In addition and without any obligation on the part of the retiring Agent to appoint, on behalf of the Lenders, a successor Agent, the retiring Agent may at any time upon or after the end of the Lender Appointment Period notify the Company and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has

60

accepted appointment as successor Agent and the effective date of such retiring Agent’s resignation.  Upon the resignation effective date established in such notice and regardless of whether a successor Agent has been appointed and accepted such appointment, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless become effective and (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Agent hereunder (other than with respect to its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct concerning any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this paragraph.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties as Agent of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations as Agent hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this paragraph).  The fees payable by the Company to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor.  After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 11 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

Section 11.10.           Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders.  (a)  Each Lender confirms to the Agent, each other Lender and each of their respective Related Parties that it (i) possesses (individually or through its Related Parties) such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable, without reliance on the Agent, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, of evaluating the merits and risks (including tax, legal, regulatory, credit, accounting and other financial matters) of (x) entering into this Agreement, (y) making Committed Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder and (z) in taking or not taking actions hereunder and thereunder, (ii) is financially able to bear such risks and (iii) has determined that entering into this Agreement and making Committed Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder is suitable and appropriate for it.

(b)                                 Each Lender acknowledges that (i) it is solely responsible for making its own independent appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, made its own appraisal and investigation of all risks associated with, and its own credit analysis and decision to enter into, this Agreement based on such documents and information, as it has deemed appropriate and (iii) it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any other Lender or any of their respective Related Parties, continue to be solely responsible for making its own appraisal and investigation of all risks arising under or in connection with, and its own credit analysis and decision to take or not take action under, this Agreement based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, which may include, in each case:

(i)                                     the financial condition, status and capitalization of the Company;

(ii)                                  the legality, validity, effectiveness, adequacy or enforceability of this Agreement and any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with this Agreement;

61

(iii)                               determining compliance or non-compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Committed Loan and the form and substance of all evidence delivered in connection with establishing the satisfaction of each such condition;

(iv)                              the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the Information Memorandum and any other information delivered by the Agent, any other Lender or by any of their respective Related Parties under or in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or any other agreement, arrangement or document entered into, made or executed in anticipation of, under or in connection with this Agreement.

Section 11.11.                   The Register; the Committed Notes.

(a)                                 The Agent, acting as a non-fiduciary agent on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Payment Office a register for the inscription of the names and addresses of Lenders and the Commitments and Committed Loans of, and principal amounts and interest owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Lenders, and the Agent may treat each Person whose name is inscribed in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Company, the Borrower, the Agent, or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(b)                                 The Agent shall inscribe in the Register the Commitments and the Committed Loans from time to time of each Lender, the amount of each Lender’s participation in outstanding Committed Loans and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Committed Loans of each Lender, the principal and other amounts owing from time to time by the Borrower in respect of each Committed Loan to each Lender of such Committed Loans and the dates on which the Loan Period for each such Committed Loan shall begin and end.  Any such inscription shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and each Lender, absent manifest or demonstrable error; provided, that, failure to make any such inscription, or any error in such inscription, shall not affect any of the Borrower’s obligations in respect of the applicable Committed Loans; and provided further, that, in such case, the Borrower and the Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with the Lender inscribed in the Register with respect to such Committed Loans.

(c)                                  Each Lender shall record on its internal records the amount of each Committed Loan made by it and each payment in respect thereof; provided, that, in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the inscriptions in the Register shall govern, absent manifest or demonstrable error.

(d)                                 If so requested by any Lender by written notice to the Company (with a copy to Agent) at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date or at any time thereafter, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if so specified in such notice, any Person who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 12.4.1 hereof) promptly after receipt of such notice, a Committed Note substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto.

Section 11.12.           No Other Duties, etc.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Person acting as “Joint Bookrunner”, “Joint Lead Arranger”,

62

“Documentation Agent” or “Syndication Agent” listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or as a Lender hereunder.

SECTION 12.                                             GENERAL

Section 12.1.                  Waiver; Amendments.  No delay on the part of the Agent, any Lender, or the holder of any Committed Loan in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any of them of any right, power or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.  No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or the Committed Notes shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by the Obligors (or, in the case of the Committed Notes, the Borrower), the Agent and by the Non-Defaulting Lenders having an aggregate Percentage of not less than the aggregate Percentage expressly designated herein with respect thereto or, in the absence of such designation as to any provision of this Agreement or the Committed Notes, by the Required Lenders, and then any amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.  No amendment, modification, waiver or consent (i) shall change the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Percentage” in Section 1, amend, waive, change or otherwise modify the terms of Section 3.6, Section 5.2(a), Section 10.1.1, or this Section 12.1, release all or substantially all of the Guarantors (except the release of any Guarantor pursuant to a transaction otherwise permitted hereunder), or otherwise change the aggregate Percentage required to effect an amendment, modification, waiver or consent without the written consent of the Obligors and all Non-Defaulting Lenders, (ii) shall modify or waive any of the conditions precedent specified in Section 9.1 for the making of any Committed Loan without the written consent of the Obligors and the Lender which is to make such Committed Loan or (iii) shall (other than in accordance with Section 12.9(a)) extend the scheduled maturity, increase the amount of, or reduce the principal amount of, or rate of interest on, reduce or waive any fee hereunder or extend the due date for or waive any amount payable under, any Commitment or Committed Loan without the written consent of the Obligors and the applicable Lender holding the Commitment or Committed Loan adversely affected thereby.  No provisions of Section 12 or any provision herein affecting the rights and duties of the Agent in its capacity as such shall be amended, modified or waived without the Agent’s written consent.

or upon the Agent or the Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.2(a) or 4.2 shall not be effective until received.

(b)                                 Each Obligor hereby agrees that, unless otherwise requested by the Agent, it will provide to the Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Agent pursuant to this Agreement, including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (i) relates to a request for a new, or a conversion of an existing, borrowing or other extension of credit (including any election of an interest rate or interest period relating thereto), (ii) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (iii) provides notice of any Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default under this Agreement, (iv) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or any borrowing or other extension of credit hereunder or (v) initiates or responds to legal process (all such non-excluded information being referred to herein collectively as the “Communications”) by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium (with such Communications to contain any required signatures) in a format acceptable to the Agent to ▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇ (or such other e-mail address designated by the Agent from time to time); provided, that, if requested in writing by any Lender, the Company will provide to such Lender a hard copy of its financial statements required to be provided hereunder.

(c)                                  Each party hereto agrees that the Agent may make the Communications available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on DebtDomain or another relevant website, if any, to which each Lender and the Agent have access (whether a commercial, third-party website or whether sponsored by the Agent) (the “Platform”).  Nothing in this Section 12.2 shall prejudice the right of the Agent to make the Communications available to the Lenders in any other manner specified in this Agreement.

(d)                                 The Company hereby acknowledges that certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Company or its securities) (each, a “Public Lender”).  The Company hereby agrees that (i) Communications that are to be made available on the Platform to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof, (ii) by marking Communications “PUBLIC,” the Company shall be deemed to have authorized the Agent and the Lenders to treat such Communications as either publicly available information or not material information (although it may be sensitive and proprietary) with respect to the Company or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws, (iii) all Communications marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated “Public Lender,” and (iv) the Agent shall be entitled to treat any Communications that are not marked “PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated “Public Lender.”

(e)                                  Each Lender agrees that e-mail notice to it (at the address provided pursuant to the next sentence and deemed delivered as provided in the next paragraph) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such Communications to such Lender for purposes of this Agreement.  Each Lender agrees (i) to

64

notify the Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time to ensure that the Agent has on record an effective e-mail address for such Lender to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

(f)                                   Each party hereto acknowledges that (i) the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution, (ii) the Platform is provided “as is” and “as available,” (iii) none of the Agent, its affiliates nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or representatives (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) warrants the adequacy, accuracy or completeness of the Communications or the Platform, and each Agent Party expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in any Communications or the Platform, and (iv) 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 Communications or the Platform.

Section 12.3.                          Computations.

(a)                                 Subject to Section 12.3(b), where the character or amount of any asset or liability or item of income or expense is required to be determined, or any consolidation or other accounting computation is required to be made, for the purpose of this Agreement, such determination or calculation shall, at any time and to the extent applicable and except as otherwise specified in this Agreement, be made in accordance with GAAP.  If (i) at any time any material change in GAAP or (ii) on the Closing Date any “End of Lease Assets” are reclassified as goodwill on such date, and in each case the application thereof or such reclassification would affect the computation or interpretation of any financial ratio, requirement or other provision set forth in this Agreement, and either the Company or the Agent shall so request, the Agent and the Company shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio, requirement or other provision to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP or the application thereof or such reclassification (it being understood, however, that such ratio, requirement or other provision shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their existing terms pending the execution by the Company and the Required Lenders of any such amendment); provided that, until so amended, (A) such ratio, requirement or other provision shall continue to be computed or interpreted in accordance with GAAP or the application thereof prior to such change therein or such reclassification and (B) in the case of any relevant calculation, the Company shall provide to the Agent and the Lenders a written unaudited reconciliation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, between calculations of such ratio, requirement or other provision made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP or the application thereof or such reclassification.

(b)                                 Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, the adoption or issuance of any accounting standards after December 31, 2015 will not cause any rental obligation that was not or would not have been Capitalized Rentals prior to such adoption or issuance to be deemed Capitalized Rentals.

65

(c)                                  In the event that (i) any accounting standard that is adopted or issued after December 31, 2015 would, but for the provisions of Section 12.3(b), cause any rental obligation that was not or would not have been Capitalized Rentals prior to such adoption or issuance to be deemed Capitalized Rentals and (ii) the effect of Section 12.3(b) shall materially impact the calculation of the financial covenants in this Agreement, then the Company thereafter shall provide, at the time of delivery of financial statements pursuant to Sections 8.1.1 and 8.1.2, to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders financial statements and other documents required or as reasonably requested under this Agreement to, as applicable, provide an unaudited estimated reconciliation of such financial covenant at the close of each quarterly period with respect to the treatment of Capitalized Leases and Capitalized Rentals, calculated using GAAP as in effect before such adoption or issuance and GAAP as in effect after such adoption or issuance.

Section 12.4.                  Assignments; Participations.  Each Lender may assign, or sell participations in, its Committed Loans and its Commitment to one or more other Persons in accordance with this Section 12.4 (and, subject to compliance by the applicable Lender with Section 12.6, the Company consents to the disclosure of any information obtained by any Lender in connection herewith to any actual or prospective Assignee or Participant).

12.4.1              Assignments.  Any Lender may with the written consents of the Company and the Agent (which consents will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) at any time assign and delegate to one or more Eligible Assignees (any Person to whom an assignment and delegation is made being herein called an “Assignee”) all or any fraction of such Lender’s Committed Loans and Commitment; each such assignment of a Lender’s Commitment shall be in the minimum amount of $10,000,000 or in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided that, in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Committed Loans at the time owing to it, no minimum amount need be assigned; provided, further, that no such consent from the Company shall be required if, at such time, an Event of Default under Section 10.1.1 or 10.1.3 has occurred and is continuing; provided, further, that, any such Assignee will comply, if applicable, with the provisions contained in Section 5.4; provided, further, the Company may withhold consent to the assignment of any Lender’s Committed Loans and Commitment to an Assignee for whom it is illegal to make a LIBOR Rate Loan described in Section 12.9(b)(iii) or that the Borrower would be required to compensate for any withholding or deductions described in clauses (i) or (ii) of Section 12.9(b) that are in excess of any such withholding or deductions the Borrower would be required to compensate to such assigning Lender, and any such withholding of consent by the Company is and hereby will be deemed to be reasonable; and provided, further, that the Borrower and the Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such assigning Lender in connection with the interests so assigned and delegated to an Assignee until such assigning Lender and/or such Assignee shall have consummated such assignment:

(i)                                           given written notice of such assignment and delegation, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to such Assignee, substantially in the form of Exhibit D, to the Company and the Agent;

(ii)                                        provided evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Agent that, as of the date of such assignment and delegation the Obligors will not be required to pay any costs, fees, taxes or other amounts of any kind or nature (including under Section 12.5) with

66

respect to the interest assigned in excess of those payable by the Obligors with respect to such interest prior to such assignment;

(iii)                                     paid to the Agent for the account of the Agent a processing fee of $3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment; and

(iv)                                    provided to the Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Agent that the assigning Lender has complied with the provisions of Section 11.10.

Upon receipt of the foregoing items and the consents of the Company and the Agent, and subject to the acceptance and recordation of the assignment by the Agent pursuant to Section 11.11, (x) the Assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned and delegated to such Assignee, such Assignee shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and under the other instruments and documents executed in connection herewith and (y) the assigning Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned and delegated by it, shall be released from its obligations hereunder, except as specified in the last sentence of Section 12.6.  The Agent may from time to time (and upon the request of the Company or any Lender after any change therein shall) distribute a revised Schedule I indicating any changes in the Lenders party hereto or the respective Percentages of such Lenders and update the Register.  Within five Business Days after the Company’s receipt of notice from the Agent of the effectiveness of any such assignment and delegation, if requested by the Assignee in accordance with Section 11.11, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Agent (for delivery to the relevant Assignee) new Committed Notes in favor of such Assignee and, if the assigning Lender has retained Committed Loans and a Commitment hereunder and if so requested by such Lender in accordance with Section 11.11, replacement Committed Notes in favor of the assigning Lender (such Committed Notes to be in exchange for, but not in payment of, the Committed Notes previously held by such assigning Lender).  Each such Committed Note shall be dated the date of the predecessor Committed Notes.  The assigning Lender shall promptly ▇▇▇▇ the predecessor Committed Notes, if any, “exchanged” and deliver them to the Borrower.  Any attempted assignment and delegation not made in accordance with this Section 12.4.1 shall be null and void.

The foregoing consent requirement shall not be applicable in the case of, and this Section 12.4.1 shall not restrict, any assignment or other transfer by any Lender of all or any portion of such Lender’s Committed Loans or Commitment to any Federal Reserve Bank or the European Central Bank (provided, that, such Federal Reserve Bank or European Central Bank shall not be considered a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement).

Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other similar central bank; provided, that, no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender party hereto.

67

The Company, each Lender, and each Assignee acknowledge and agree that after receipt by the Agent of the items and consents required by this Section 12.4.1 each Assignee shall be considered a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement (including Sections 5.4, 6.1, 6.4, 12.5 and 12.6) and by its acceptance of an assignment herein, each Assignee agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement (including Section 5.4).

12.4.2                    Participations.  Any Lender may at any time without the consent of the Company or the Agent sell to one or more Eligible Assignees or any Affiliate thereof which is not a Disqualified Lender and is engaged in making, purchasing or otherwise investing in commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business (any such Eligible Assignee or Affiliate being herein called a “Participant”) participating interests in any of its Committed Loans, its Commitment or any other interest of such Lender hereunder; provided, however, that

(a)                                       no participation contemplated in this Section 12.4.2 shall relieve such Lender from its Commitment or its other obligations hereunder;

(b)                                       such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its Commitment and such other obligations hereunder and such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Obligors hereunder, including the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (subject to Section 12.4.2(d) below);

(c)                                        the Borrower and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(d)                                       no Participant, unless such Participant is an Affiliate of such Lender, or is itself a Lender, shall be entitled to require such Lender to take or refrain from taking any action hereunder, except that such Lender may agree with any Participant that such Lender will not, without such Participant’s consent, take any actions of the type described in the third sentence of Section 12.1;

(e)                                        no Obligor shall be required to pay any amount under Sections 3.1, 5.4 or 6.1 that is greater than the amount which such Obligor would have been required to pay had no participating interest been sold;

(f)                                         no Participant may further participate any interest in any Committed Loan (and each participation agreement shall contain a restriction to such effect);

(g)                                        to the extent permitted by applicable law, each Participant shall be considered a Lender for purposes of Section 5.4, Section 6.1, Section 6.4, Section 12.5 and Section 12.6 and by its acceptance of a participating interest in any Committed Loan, Commitment or any other interest of a Lender hereunder, each Participant agrees that it is bound by, and agrees to deliver all documentation required under, the provisions of Section 5.2(b) and Section 5.4 as if such Participant were a Lender (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.4 shall be delivered to the participating Lender);

68

(h)                                       such Lender shall have provided to the Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Agent that such Lender has complied with the provisions of the last sentence of Section 11.6; and

(i)                                           each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, 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 Committed Loans or other obligations under the Loan 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 or other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the 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 notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

Any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle organized under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof (a “SPV”) of such Granting Lender, identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Agent, the Company and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of its Committed Loans that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that, (i) such SPV shall be deemed to be a Participant for purposes of this Section 12.4.2, (ii) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPV to make any Committed Loan, (iii) if a SPV elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Committed Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Committed Loan pursuant to the terms hereof and (iv) the Company shall not be required to pay any amount under Sections 12.5 or 12.7 that is greater than the amount which the Company would have been required to pay had such SPV not provided the Borrower with any part of any Committed Loan of such Granting Lender.  The making of a Committed Loan by a SPV hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Committed Loan were made by such Granting Lender.  Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPV shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (any indemnity, liability or other payment obligation, including but not limited to any tax liabilities that occur by reason of such funding by the SPV, shall remain the obligation of the Granting Lender).  In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPV, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPV any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof.  In addition, notwithstanding anything contrary contained in this Section 12.4.2, any SPV may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Company and the Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Committed Loans to the Granting Lender providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPV to

69

support the funding or maintenance of Committed Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Committed Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPV.  This paragraph may not be amended without the written consent of any SPV at the time holding all or any part of any Committed Loans under this Agreement (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Section 12.5.                          Costs, Expenses and Taxes.  The Company agrees to pay on demand (a) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agent (including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of a single counsel for the Agent (and of local counsel, if any, who may be retained by said counsel)), in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of, and any amendment to, this Agreement, the Committed Notes and all other instruments or documents provided for herein or delivered or to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith and (b) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses and allocated costs of staff counsel) incurred by the Agent and each Lender in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement, the Committed Notes or any such other instruments or documents.  Each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent for such Lender’s pro rata share (based upon its respective Percentage determined at the time such reimbursement is sought) of any such costs or expenses incurred by the Agent on behalf of all the Lenders and not paid by the Obligors other than any fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Agent which exceed the amount which the Company or the Borrower has agreed with the Agent to reimburse.  In addition, without duplication of the provisions of Section 5.4, each Obligor agrees to pay, and to hold the Agent and the Lenders harmless from all liability for, any stamp, court or documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar Taxes which may be payable in connection with the execution, delivery and enforcement of this Agreement, the borrowings hereunder, the issuance of the Committed Notes (if any) or the execution, delivery and enforcement of any other instruments or documents provided for herein or delivered or to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, except, in each case, any such Taxes that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment or participation.  All obligations provided for in this Section 12.5 shall survive repayment of the Committed Loans, cancellation of the Committed Notes or any termination of this Agreement.

Section 12.6.                          Confidentiality.  Each of the Agent and the 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 and its Affiliates’ respective managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (it being understood that (i) no disclosure of Information shall be made by the Agent or any Lender to an Affiliate and such Affiliate’s respective managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives if such Affiliate is a Disqualified Lender and (ii) 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 requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations 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 Committed Note or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any Committed Note or the enforcement of

70

rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to a confidentiality agreement with or other contractual, legal, or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to the Company containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 12.6, to (i) any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives) to any swap or derivative or similar transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Company and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (iii) any rating agency, or (iv) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar organization, (g) with the prior written consent of the Company or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 12.6 or (y) becomes available to the Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Company.  With respect to any disclosure under Section 12.6(c), each of the Agent and the Lenders, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify the Company, to the extent legally permissible and practicable under the circumstances, so as to permit the Company to obtain a protective order as to such disclosure, and each of the Agent and the Lenders will reasonably cooperate (to the extent practicable and permitted by their respective then existing policies) with the Company for such purpose.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, provided, that, in the case of information received from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries 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 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.  With respect to any Lender or Agent, the obligations of such Lender or Agent pursuant to this Section 12.6 shall terminate on the first anniversary of the earlier of the Termination Date and the date on which such Lender or Agent ceases to be a party hereto.

Section 12.7.                          Indemnification.  In consideration of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Agent and the Lenders, but without duplication of the provisions of Section 5.4, each Obligor hereby agrees to indemnify, exonerate and hold each of the Lenders, the Agent, the Arrangers, the Affiliates of each of the Lenders, the Arrangers and the Agent, and each of the officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors of the Lenders, the Arrangers, the Agent and the Affiliates of each of the Lenders, the Arrangers and the Agent (collectively herein called the “Lender Parties” and individually called a “Lender Party”) free and harmless from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (collectively herein called the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by the Lender Parties or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (i) this Agreement, the Committed Notes (if any) or the Committed Loans or (ii) the direct or indirect use of proceeds of any of the Committed Loans or any credit extended hereunder, except (x) for any such Indemnified Liabilities arising on account of such Lender Party’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct as determined by a court

71

of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment and (y) to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities result from any dispute solely among Indemnified Parties other than any claims against Agent in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as Agent under this Agreement and other than any claims arising out of any act or omission on the part of the Company or any Obligor, and if and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, the Obligors hereby agree to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.  Each Obligor agrees not to assert any claim against the Lender Parties on any theory of liability, for consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement and the Committed Notes (if any) or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Committed Loans.  All obligations provided for in this Section 12.7 shall survive repayment of the Committed Loans, cancellation of the Committed Notes (if any) or any termination of this Agreement.  This Section 12.7 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages or similar items arising from any non-Tax claim.

Section 12.8.                  Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among the parties hereto, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

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

(b)                                 The effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i)                                     a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii)                                  a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii)                               the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

Section 12.9.                  Extension of Termination Dates; Removal of Lenders; Substitution of Lenders.  (a)  At any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, the Borrower may, at its option, request all the Lenders then party to this Agreement to extend their scheduled Termination Dates by an additional one year period, or such shorter period as agreed upon by the Borrower and the Agent, by means of a letter substantially in the form of Exhibit E

72

hereto (each, an “Extension Request”), addressed to the Agent (who shall promptly deliver such Extension Request to each Lender).  Each Lender electing (in its sole discretion) to extend its scheduled Termination Date shall execute and deliver not later than the 10th Business Day after delivery of the Extension Request to Lenders, counterparts of such Extension Request to the Borrower and the Agent, who shall notify the Borrower, in writing, of the Lenders’ decisions no later than the 15th Business Day after delivery of the Extension Request to the Lenders, whereupon (unless Lenders with an aggregate Percentage of 50% or more decline to extend their respective scheduled Termination Dates, in which event the Agent shall notify all the Lenders and the Borrower thereof and no such extension shall occur) such Lender’s scheduled Termination Date shall be extended, effective only as of the date that is such Lender’s then-current scheduled Termination Date, to the date that is one year, or such shorter period as agreed as provided above, after such Lender’s then-current scheduled Termination Date.  Any Lender that declines or fails to respond to the Borrower’s request for such extension shall be deemed to have not extended its scheduled Termination Date.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Borrower shall not effectuate any such extension of the Termination Date (x) more than two times during the term of this Agreement, (y) no more than once in any consecutive 12-month period and (z) that would result in the scheduled Termination Date, after giving effect to such extension, that is greater than four years.

(b)                                 In addition to its rights to remove any Defaulting Lender under Section 4.1(b), with respect to any Lender (i) on account of which the Borrower is required to make any deductions or withholdings or pay any additional amounts, as contemplated by Section 5.4, (ii) on account of which the Borrower is required to pay any additional amounts, as contemplated by Section 6.1, (iii) for which it is illegal to make a LIBOR Rate Loan, as contemplated by Section 6.3, (iv) which has declined to (a) extend such Lender’s scheduled Termination Date under Section 12.9, or (b) consent to an amendment, modification or waiver and, in each case, Lenders with an aggregate Percentage in excess of 50% have elected to extend their respective Termination Dates or consent to such amendment, modification or waiver, the Borrower may, in its discretion, upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice to the Agent and each Lender, remove such Lender as a party hereto.  Each such notice shall specify the date of such removal (which shall be a Business Day), which shall thereupon become the scheduled Termination Date for such Lender.

(c)                                  In the event that any Lender does not extend its scheduled Termination Date pursuant to subsection (a) above or is the subject of a notice of removal pursuant to subsection (b) above, then, at any time prior to the Termination Date for such Lender (a “Terminating Lender”), the Borrower may, at its option, arrange to have one or more other Eligible Assignees (which may be a Lender or Lenders, or if not a Lender, shall be reasonably acceptable to the Agent (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and each of which shall herein be called a “Successor Lender”) with the approval of the Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) succeed to all or a percentage of the Terminating Lender’s outstanding Committed Loans, if any, and rights under this Agreement and assume all or a like percentage (as the case may be) of such Terminating Lender’s undertaking to make Committed Loans pursuant hereto and other obligations hereunder (as if (i) in the case of any Lender electing not to extend its scheduled Termination Date pursuant to subsection (a) above, such Successor Lender had extended its scheduled Termination Date pursuant to such subsection (a) and (ii) in the case of any Lender that is the subject of a notice of removal

73

pursuant to subsection (b) above, no such notice of removal had been given by the Borrower).  Such succession and assumption shall be effected by means of one or more agreements supplemental to this Agreement among the Terminating Lender, the Successor Lender, the Borrower and the Agent.  On and as of the effective date of each such supplemental agreement (i) each Successor Lender party thereto shall be and become a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement and to the same extent as any other Lender hereunder and shall be bound by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement in the same manner as any other Lender and (ii) the Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of the Agent a processing fee of $3,500 for each such Successor Lender which is not a Lender.

(d)                                 On the Termination Date for any Terminating Lender, such Terminating Lender’s Commitment shall terminate and the Borrower shall pay in full all of such Terminating Lender’s Committed Loans (except to the extent assigned pursuant to subsection (c) above) and all other amounts payable to such Lender hereunder (including any amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.4 on account of such payment); provided, that, if an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists on the date scheduled as any Terminating Lender’s Termination Date, payment of such Terminating Lender’s Committed Loans shall be postponed to (and, for purposes of calculating commitment fees under Section 3.4 and determining the Required Lenders (except as provided below), but for no other purpose, such Terminating Lender’s Commitment shall continue until) the first Business Day thereafter on which (i) no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists (without regard to any waiver or amendment that makes this Agreement less restrictive for the Borrower, other than as described in clause (ii) below) or (ii) the Required Lenders (which for purposes of this subsection (d) shall be determined based upon the respective Percentages and aggregate Commitments of all Lenders other than any Terminating Lender whose scheduled Termination Date has been extended pursuant to this proviso) waive or amend the provisions of this Agreement to cure all existing Events of Default or Unmatured Events of Default or agree to permit any borrowing hereunder notwithstanding the existence of any such event.  In the event that Citibank or its Affiliates shall become a Terminating Lender, the provisions of Section 11.9 shall apply with respect to Citibank in its capacity as Agent.

(e)                                  To the extent that all or a portion of any Terminating Lender’s obligations are not assumed pursuant to subsection (c) above, the Aggregate Commitment shall be reduced on the applicable Termination Date and each Lender’s percentage of the reduced Aggregate Commitment shall be revised pro rata to reflect such Terminating Lender’s absence.  The Agent shall distribute a revised Schedule I indicating such revisions promptly after the applicable Termination Date and update the Register accordingly.  Such revised Schedule I shall be deemed conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error.

Each Obligor agrees that service of all writs, process and summonses in any such action or proceeding brought in the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof sitting in New York County, may be made upon AerCap, Inc., presently located in the United States located at 10▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Process Agent”), and each Obligor confirms and agrees that the Process Agent has been duly and irrevocably appointed as its agent and true and lawful attorney in fact in its name, place and stead to accept such service of any and all such writs, process and summonses, and agrees that the failure of the Process Agent to give any notice of any such service of process to any Obligor shall not impair or affect the validity of such service or of any judgment based thereon.

Section 12.12.           Counterparts; Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties on separate counterparts and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same Agreement.  Delivery of a counterpart via facsimile or electronic mail, including by email with a “.pdf” copy hereof attached, shall constitute delivery of an original counterpart.  When counterparts of this Agreement executed by each party shall have been lodged with the Agent (or, in the case of any Lender as to which an executed counterpart shall not have been so lodged, the Agent shall have received facsimile, electronic mail or other written confirmation of execution of a counterpart hereof by such Lender), this Agreement shall become effective as of the date hereof and the Agent shall so inform all of the parties hereto.

75

Section 12.13.           Further Assurances.  Each Obligor agrees to do such other acts and things, and to deliver to the Agent and each Lender such additional agreements, powers and instruments, as the Agent or any Lender may reasonably require or deem advisable to carry into effect the purposes of this Agreement or to better assure and confirm unto the Agent and each Lender their respective rights, powers and remedies hereunder.

Section 12.14.           Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the Obligors, the Lenders and the Agent and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Obligors, the Lenders and the Agent and the respective successors and assigns of the Lenders and the Agent.  Except as expressly provided herein, the Borrower may not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its duties under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders.

Section 12.15.           Judgment.  (a)  If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in Dollars into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agent could purchase Dollars with such other currency at the Agent’s principal office in New York at 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

(b)                                 If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in another currency into Dollars, the parties agree to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Agent could purchase such currency with Dollars at the Agent’s principal office in New York at 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

(c)                                  The obligation of each Obligor in respect of any sum due from it in any currency (the “Primary Currency”) to any Lender or the Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any other currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be), of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the applicable Primary Currency with such other currency; if the amount of the applicable Primary Currency so purchased is less than such sum due to such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency, each Obligor agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) against such loss, and if the amount of the applicable Primary Currency so purchased exceeds such sum due to any Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) in the applicable Primary Currency, such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) agrees to remit to such Obligor such excess.

Section 12.16.           Waiver of Jury Trial.  EACH OBLIGOR, THE AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, ANY COMMITTED NOTE OR ANY AMENDMENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING FROM ANY BANKING

76

RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, AND AGREE THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.

Section 12.17.           No Fiduciary Relationship.  Each Obligor acknowledges that neither the Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with, or fiduciary duty to, such Obligor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Committed Notes (if any) or the transactions contemplated hereby, and the relationship between the Agent and the Lenders, on the one hand, and such Obligor, on the other, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of creditor and debtor.  This Agreement does not create a joint venture among the parties. Each Obligor understands that each Lender and its Affiliates (collectively referred to in this Section 12.17 as a “group”) is engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses (including investment management, financing, securities trading, corporate and investment banking and research) and that members of each group generally act independently of each other, both for their own account and for the account of clients.  Accordingly, there may be situations where parts of a group and/or their clients either now have or may in the future have interests, or take actions, that may conflict with the interests of the Obligors.  For example, a group may, in the ordinary course of business, engage in trading in financial products or undertake other investment businesses for their own account or on behalf of other clients, including without limitation, trading in or holding long, short or derivative positions in securities, loans or other financial products of the Obligors or their Affiliates or other entities connected with the credit facility provided for herein or the transactions contemplated hereby. In recognition of the foregoing, each Obligor agrees that no group is required to restrict its activities as a result of this Agreement and that each group may undertake any business activity, including acts in relation to any matter for any other Person whose interests may be adverse to an Obligor or any of its Affiliates, without further consultation with or notification to any Obligor.

Section 12.18.           USA Patriot Act.  Each Lender and the Agent (for itself in such capacity and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Obligor that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Obligor, which information includes the name and address of such Obligor and other information that will allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to identify each Obligor in accordance with the Act.  Each Obligor shall provide, to the extent commercially reasonable, such information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Agent or any Lenders in order to assist the Agent and the Lenders in maintaining compliance with the Act.

(a)                                 Prior to the Closing Date, the Existing Credit Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and nothing in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to amend, modify or otherwise affect the Existing Credit Agreement and the other “Loan Documents” under in the Existing Credit Agreement.  On and after the Closing Date, (i) the Existing Credit Agreement and the other “Loan Documents” under the Existing Credit Agreement shall terminate and have no further force and effect and (ii) the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in the form of this Agreement and the Existing Credit

(ii)                                  waives any requirement of prior notice in respect of the termination of commitments under the Existing Credit Agreement on the Closing Date; and

(iii)                               agrees that, with respect to each “Lender” under the Existing Credit Agreement that declines or fails to enter into this Agreement as a Lender hereunder on the Closing Date (other than any such “Lender” under the Existing Credit Agreement that becomes a Lender hereunder on or prior to the Closing Date pursuant to Section 4.4) (each, a “Replaced Lender”), effective as of the Closing Date, each such Replaced Lender’s “Commitment” under the Existing Credit Agreement shall terminate, each such Replaced Lender shall be released from all obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement and the Borrower shall be required to prepay all of such Replaced Lender’s “Committed Loans” outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement and pay all interest, fees and other amounts owing, as of the Closing Date, to such Replaced Lender under the Existing Credit Agreement.

severally agree that if the Borrower shall fail to pay in full when due upon the expiration of any applicable remedial period (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantors will promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

Section 13.2.                  Obligations Unconditional.  The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 13.1 are absolute and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 13 that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be primary obligations of payment and not of collection, absolute and unconditional, joint and several, under any and all circumstances (and any defenses thereto are hereby waived by the Guarantors).  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Guarantors hereunder (and any such defense are hereby waived), which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:

(i)                                     at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Guarantors, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

(ii)                                  any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein shall be done or omitted;

(iii)                               the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;

(iv)                              any law or regulation of any jurisdiction or any other event affecting any term of a Guaranteed Obligation; or

(v)                                 any lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or Lenders as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected.

The Guarantors hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Borrower under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, or against any other Person

79

under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations.  The Guarantors expressly confirm that they shall obtain substantial direct and indirect benefit from the giving of the Guarantee pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 13.3.                  Reinstatement.  The obligations of the Guarantors under this Section shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy, liquidation, examinership or reorganization or otherwise, and the Guarantors jointly and severally agree that they will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including fees of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, liquidation, examinership, insolvency or similar law.

Section 13.4.                  Subrogation.  The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree that until the payment and satisfaction in full of all Guaranteed Obligations and the expiration and termination of the Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement they shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of any performance by them of their guarantee in Section 13.1, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against the Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Section 13.5.                  Remedies.  The Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Guarantors and the Lenders, the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 10 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 10) for purposes of Section 13.1 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 13.1.

Section 13.6.                  Continuing Guarantee.  The guarantee in this Section 13 is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.  Each Guarantor agrees that the guarantee in this Section 13 is a guarantee of payment and not of collection.

Section 13.7.                  Indemnity and Rights of Contribution.  The Borrower and the Guarantors hereby agree, as between themselves, that (a) if a payment of any Guaranteed Obligations shall be made by any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Agreement, the Borrower and the Company shall indemnify such Subsidiary Guarantor for the full amount of such payment and (b) if any Subsidiary Guarantor shall become an Excess Funding Guarantor (as defined below) by reason of the payment by such Subsidiary Guarantor of any Guaranteed Obligations that shall not have been fully indemnified by the Borrower or the Company, then the other

80

Subsidiary Guarantors shall, on demand of such Excess Funding Guarantor (but subject to the next sentence), pay to such Excess Funding Guarantor an amount equal to such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Pro Rata Share (as defined below and determined, for this purpose, without reference to the properties, debts and liabilities of such Excess Funding Guarantor) of the Excess Payment (as defined below) in respect of such Guaranteed Obligations.  The payment obligation of the Borrower or the Company to any Subsidiary Guarantor or of a Subsidiary Guarantor to any Excess Funding Guarantor under this Section shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the obligations of such Obligor under the other provisions of this Agreements, including this Section 13, and such Subsidiary Guarantor or Excess Funding Guarantor, as the case may be, shall not exercise any right or remedy with respect to such excess until payment and satisfaction in full of all of such obligations.

For purposes of this Section, (i) “Excess Funding Guarantor” means, in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, a Subsidiary Guarantor that has paid an amount in excess of its Pro Rata Share of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) “Excess Payment” means, in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, the amount paid by an Excess Funding Guarantor in excess of its Pro Rata Share of such Guaranteed Obligations and (iii) “Pro Rata Share” means, for any Subsidiary Guarantor, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (x) the amount by which the aggregate present fair saleable value of all properties of such Subsidiary Guarantor (excluding any shares of stock or other equity interest of any other Subsidiary Guarantor) exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder and any obligations of the other Subsidiary Guarantors that have been Guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor) to (y) the amount by which the aggregate fair saleable value of all properties of all of the Subsidiary Guarantors exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder) of all of the Subsidiary Guarantors, determined (A) with respect to any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a party hereto on the Closing Date, as of the Closing Date, and (B) with respect to any other Subsidiary Guarantor, as of the date such Subsidiary Guarantor becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.

Section 13.8.                          General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations.  In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state or Federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under Section 13.1 would otherwise, taking into account the provisions of Section 13.7, be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 13.1, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

Section 13.9.                          Releases.

81

consolidation or otherwise, of assets or Capital Stock of a Subsidiary Guarantor substantially as an entirety to a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company in compliance with the terms of Section 8.9, then, without any further action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, such Subsidiary Guarantor (or the Person concurrently acquiring such assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor) shall be deemed automatically and unconditionally released and discharged of any obligations under the guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, as evidenced by a written instrument or confirmation executed by the Administrative Agent, upon the request and at the expense of the Company.  Upon delivery by the Company to the Administrative Agent of an officers’ certificate stating that such sale or other disposition was made by the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, including Section 8.9, the Administrative Agent will execute any documents required in order to evidence the release of any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under its guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(b)         In addition, the guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations will be released:

(i)                if the Subsidiary Guarantor (other than ILFC or any Subsidiary that is or becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor on the Closing Date) ceases to be a guarantor under any Capital Markets Debt or unsecured Credit Facilities, including the guarantee that resulted in the obligation of such Subsidiary Guarantor to guarantee the Guaranteed Obligations, and is released or discharged from all obligations thereunder; or

(ii)             upon the expiration or termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of all obligations of the Obligors under this Agreement and under the Committed Notes (other than unasserted contingent indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations).

(c)          Any Subsidiary Guarantor not released from its obligations under its guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligations as provided in this Section 13.9 will remain liable for the full amount of the Guaranteed Obligations as provided in this Section 13.
