ARTICLE II

The Credits

SECTION 2.01. Commitments. (a) Term Loans. Each Term Lender, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, severally and not jointly with the other Term Lenders, agrees to make on the Effective Date a single Term Loan (collectively, the “Term Loans”) to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed such Term Lender’s Term Loan Commitment. Once prepaid or repaid, no Term Loan may be re-borrowed.

(b) Revolving Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Credit Lender, severally and not jointly with the other Revolving Credit Lenders, agrees to make revolving Loans (the “Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and re-borrow Revolving Loans.

(c) Incremental Credit Extensions. The Borrower may from time to time after the Effective Date, by notice to the Administrative Agent, request one or more additional tranches of term loans (the “Incremental Term Loans”) or one or more increases in the Revolving Credit Commitments (each, a “Revolving Credit Facility Increase”); provided, however, that (i) the aggregate amount of all Incremental Term Loans and Revolving Credit Facility Increases shall not exceed $750,000,000, (ii) no Incremental Term Loans shall be requested later than one year prior to the Maturity Date with respect to the Term Loans, (iii) no Revolving Credit Facility Increase shall be requested later than one year prior to the Maturity Date with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, (iv) each Incremental Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility Increase shall be in an amount not less than $25,000,000 and (v) no more than two Incremental Term Loans and Revolving Credit Facility Increases may be requested in the aggregate in any calendar year. The Incremental Term Loans (A) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the Revolving Loans and the Term Loans, (B) shall not have a final maturity earlier than the Maturity Date with respect to the Term Loans (but may have amortization up to 10% of the principal amount thereof each year prior to such date), (C) shall have pricing (including fees, interest and original issue discount) that does not exceed the pricing for the Term Loans, and (D) except for any differences permitted hereby, the Incremental Term Loans shall have the same terms and conditions as the Term Loans. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to obligate the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers or any Agent or Lender to negotiate for (whether or not in good faith), solicit, provide or consent to any Incremental Term Loans or any Revolving Credit Facility Increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of each proposed Incremental Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility Increase and of the proposed terms and conditions therefor agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Each such Lender (and each of their Affiliates and Approved Funds) may, in its sole discretion, commit to participate in such Incremental Term Loans and Revolving Credit Facility Increases by forwarding its commitment therefor to the Administrative Agent in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall allocate, in its sole discretion but in amounts not to exceed for each such Lender the commitment received from such Lender, Affiliate or Approved Fund, the Incremental Term Loan commitments or Revolving Credit Facility Increase commitments to be made as part of such Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Credit Facility Increase, respectively, to the Lenders from which it has received such written commitments. If the Administrative Agent does not receive enough commitments from existing Lenders or their Affiliates or Approved Funds, it may, after consultation with the Borrower, allocate to Eligible Assignees any excess of the proposed amount of such Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Credit Facility Increase agreed with the Borrower over the aggregate amounts of the commitments received from existing Lenders or their Affiliates or Approved Funds. Each Incremental Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility Increase shall become effective on a date agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (each, a “Commitment Increase Date”), which shall be in any case on or after the date of satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.03. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders and the Borrower, on or before 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day following a Commitment Increase Date of the effectiveness of an Incremental Term Loan or Revolving Credit Facility Increase, as applicable, and shall record in the Register all applicable additional information in respect of such Incremental Term Loans or Revolving Credit Facility Increase. On the Commitment Increase Date for any Revolving Credit Facility Increase, each Lender or Eligible Assignee participating in such Revolving Credit Facility Increase shall purchase and

assume from each existing Lender having Revolving Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans outstanding on such Commitment Increase Date, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the new Revolving Credit Commitments (after giving effect to such Revolving Credit Facility Increase), in the aggregate outstanding Revolving Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans, so as to ensure that, on the Commitment Increase Date after giving effect to such Revolving Credit Facility Increase, each Lender is owed only its Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans outstanding on such Commitment Increase Date.

SECTION 2.02. Loans and Borrowings. (a) Revolving Loans. Each Revolving Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Revolving Loans from the Revolving Credit Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments.

(b) Term Loans. The Term Loans shall, subject as provided in Section 2.01(a), be made on the Effective Date as Borrowings from the Term Lenders in accordance with their respective Term Loan Commitments.

(c) Subject to Section 2.13, each Borrowing of Revolving Loans and Term Loans shall be comprised of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans, or both, as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan in accordance with the terms hereof; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(d) At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is equal to $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. At the time that each ABR Revolving Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is equal to $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided that an ABR Revolving Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Revolving Credit Commitments, or that is required to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e) or the repayment of a Swingline Loan as contemplated by Section 2.09(a)(iii). Each Swingline Loan shall be in an amount that is equal to $500,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof unless otherwise agreed by each Swingline Lender; provided that a Swingline Loan may be in an aggregate amount that is required to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e). Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of fifteen Eurodollar Revolving Borrowings outstanding.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date.

SECTION 2.03. Requests for Borrowings. To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (i) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, three Business Days

before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (ii) in the case of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided that any such notice of an ABR Revolving Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.05(e) may be given not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C and signed by the Borrower. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(1) whether such Borrowing is with respect to Revolving Loans or Term Loans;

(2) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;

(3) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(4) whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing;

(5) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”; and

(6) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.06.

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurodollar Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

SECTION 2.04. Swingline Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $100,000,000 or (ii) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the Revolving Credit Lenders’ total Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.

(b) To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by telecopy substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D), not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the requested date for making such Swingline Loan (which shall be a Business Day) and (ii) the

amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Borrower requesting a Swingline Loan to be made by it. The Swingline Lender shall make such Swingline Loan available to the Borrower in immediately available funds by means of a credit to the general deposit account of the Borrower with the Swingline Lender (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e), by remittance to the Issuing Bank) by the later of 12:00 noon, New York City time, or two hours after receipt by the Administrative Agent of a request for such Swingline Loan on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.

(c) The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Business Day require the Revolving Credit Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans made by it which are outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Revolving Credit Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Credit Lender, specifying in such notice such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Credit Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

SECTION 2.05. Letters of Credit. (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account (or for its account and the account of one or more of its Subsidiaries, collectively), in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the

terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (at least two Business Days or, if reasonable, less than two Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice substantially in the form attached as Exhibit E requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank no later than upon its receipt of a notice from the Borrower requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended by the Issuing Bank in accordance with the notice with respect thereto received from the Borrower; provided that after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the L/C Exposure shall not exceed $200,000,000 and (ii) the sum of the Lenders’ total Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the Lenders’ total Revolving Commitments.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date of the Revolving Credit Facility.

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Revolving Credit Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each Revolving Credit Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each L/C Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.05, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph (d) of this Section 2.05 in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement by paying (or causing its Subsidiary that is also an account party in respect of such Letter of Credit to pay) to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such L/C Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date that such L/C Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such L/C Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing (only if such L/C Disbursement is not less than $1,000,000), or a Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Borrower fails to make such payment or discharge such reimbursement obligation when due or in accordance with the prior sentence, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the applicable L/C Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06 with respect to Loans made by such Revolving Credit Lender (and Section 2.06 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Credit Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (e) of this Section 2.05, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Credit Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Credit Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to this paragraph (e) of this Section 2.05 to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any L/C Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loan or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such L/C Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse L/C Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.05 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the

provisions of this Section 2.05, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. None of the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Credit Lenders, the Issuing Bank, or any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an L/C Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any such L/C Disbursement in accordance with Section 2.05(e) after receipt of the notice from the Issuing Bank contemplated thereby.

(h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any L/C Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Disbursement in full on the date such L/C Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such L/C Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such L/C Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such L/C Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.05, then the amount due shall bear interest at the applicable rate provided in Section 2.12(c). Interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.05 shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section 2.05 to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Revolving Credit Lender to the extent of such payment.

(i) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.11(b)(ii). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Class Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Credit Lenders with L/C Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total L/C Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph (j) of this Section 2.05, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the L/C Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in paragraphs (h) or (i) of Article VII. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the monetary Obligations of the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for L/C Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the L/C Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Credit Lenders with L/C Exposure representing greater than 50% of the total L/C Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

(k) Existing Letters of Credit. Schedule 2.05 contains a schedule of certain letters of credit (the “Existing Letters of Credit”) issued prior to the Effective Date for the account of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries. On the Effective Date (i) such Existing Letters of Credit, to the extent outstanding, shall be automatically and without further action by the parties thereto converted to Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this Section 2.05 for the account of the Borrower

and subject to the provisions hereof, and for this purpose the fees specified in Section 2.11(b) shall be payable as if such Existing Letters of Credit had been issued on the Effective Date, (ii) the issuers of such Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be “Issuing Banks” hereunder solely for the purpose of maintaining such Existing Letters of Credit, for purposes of Section 2.16 relating to the obligation to provide the appropriate forms, certificates and statements to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and any updates required by Section 2.16 and for purposes of Section 2.09(c) relating to the entries to be made in the Register, (iii) the face amount of such Existing Letters of Credit shall be included in the calculation of L/C Exposure and (iv) all liabilities of the Borrower with respect to such Existing Letters of Credit shall constitute Obligations. No Existing Letter of Credit converted in accordance with this clause (k) shall be amended, extended or renewed without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 2.06. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan committed to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders, provided, that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.04. The Administrative Agent will immediately make available to the Borrower on the Effective Date the aggregate amount of the Term Loan so received by it from the Term Lenders as provided in Section 2.01(a), and the Administrative Agent will make any such Revolving Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the aggregate amounts so received from the Revolving Credit Lenders, in immediately available funds, to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York City and designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided, that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an L/C Disbursement as provided in Section 2.05(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 2.06 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent at the greater of (x) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (y) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount with interest thereon upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor and the Administrative Agent previously made such amount available to Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and, if so notified, Borrower shall pay on the day it receives such notification (provided, however, that if such day is not a Business Day or the Borrower receives such notification after 2:00 p.m., New York City time, then the Borrower shall pay on the next Business Day) such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent at the interest rate applicable to the relevant Borrowing for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. No provision of this Section 2.06 shall relieve a Lender which is in default with respect to its obligation to fund its Commitment in accordance with this Section 2.06.

SECTION 2.07. Interest Elections. (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert each such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.07. The Borrower may elect different Type options with respect to different portions of each affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the applicable Lenders holding the Loans constituting such Borrowing, and the Loans constituting each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section 2.07 shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings and accordingly no Swingline Borrowings may be converted or continued.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.07, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request substantially in the form attached as Exhibit F and signed by the Borrower.

(c) Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02(d):

(i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to paragraphs (iii) and (iv) below of this Section 2.07(c) shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Revolving Credit Lender or Term Lender, as applicable, of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.08. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Termination. Unless previously terminated, (i) the Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facility and (ii) the Term Loan Commitments shall terminate on the Effective Date immediately after giving effect to all Borrowings of Term Loans which are made on such date.

(b) Optional Reduction. The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an amount that is equal to $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments to the extent that, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.10, the Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments as so terminated or reduced.

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section 2.08 at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Revolving Credit Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.08 shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments described in paragraph (b) of this Section 2.08 delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made ratably among the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments.

SECTION 2.09. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay:

(i) in respect of Revolving Loans, to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender, the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facility;

(ii) in respect of Term Loans, to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Term Lender, in consecutive quarterly installments, in the applicable amount determined as a percentage of the aggregate Term Loans outstanding immediately following the Effective Date, as set forth below, on the last day of each of March, June, September and December and on the Maturity Date for the Term Loan Facility, the first

such payment to be made December 30, 2005, to be applied against the Term Loans with respect to the Type and, if applicable, the Interest Period as the Borrower shall elect, but subject to Section 2.15 (provided, that all Term Loans outstanding and not otherwise repaid prior thereto, shall be paid in full on the Maturity Date applicable to the Term Loans):


Installments	Percentage Amount of each Term Loan Installment
1 – 19	2.50	%
20	52.50	%

; and

(iii) in respect of Swingline Loans, to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan made by them from the proceeds of a Revolving Borrowing or otherwise on the earlier of the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facility and the first date after such Swingline Loan is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least one Business Day after such Swingline Loan is made; provided, that on each date a Revolving Borrowing is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding.

(b) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the monetary Obligations of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at one of its offices a register (the “Register”) with respect to the Facilities, in which it shall record (i) the names and addresses of, and the Total Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and L/C Disbursements owing to, each Lender, (ii) the amount of each such Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder, and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders (or Swingline Lender) or Term Lenders and each such Lender’s share thereof. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register, pursuant to the terms hereof, as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice; provided, that no Lender shall be entitled to inspect the Register for the purpose of obtaining information set forth therein with respect to any other Lender. The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register as an agent of the Borrower.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (b) or (c) of this Section 2.09 shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Any Lender may request that the Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note (each a “Promissory Note”). In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender, with respect to such Loans, a Promissory Note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in the forms attached as Exhibit G-1 and G-2, as applicable to such Loans. Thereafter, such Loans of such Lender evidenced by such Promissory Note, and interest thereon, shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more Promissory Notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such Promissory Note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.10. Optional Prepayment of Loans; Mandatory Prepayment and Termination upon Change in Control. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay the Term Loans or the Revolving Loans, in each case in an amount (if less than the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Loans) equal to $10,000,000 or an integral amount of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or such lesser amount of any class of Loans as is then outstanding), subject to prior notice in accordance with this Section 2.10 and subject to Section 2.15. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, each Swingline Lender thereof) with respect to the Loans to be prepaid, by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing or a Swingline Loan, not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08. Promptly following receipt of any such notice of prepayment relating to the Term Loans, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Term Lenders of the contents of such notice. Each prepayment of the Term Loans shall be applied to reduce the remaining future quarterly installment amounts thereof payable under Section 2.09(a)(ii) on a pro rata basis.

(b) Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control (i) all Loans then outstanding shall immediately become due and payable in full, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other monetary payment Obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder (including any amount payable pursuant to Section 2.15), without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower, (ii) the Borrower shall provide cash collateral for outstanding undrawn Letters of Credit in the manner described in Section 2.05(j) and (iii) the Total Commitments shall be immediately terminated.

SECTION 2.11. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender an unused commitment fee (an “Unused Commitment Fee”), which shall accrue at the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate on the daily amount of the excess of (i) such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment over (ii) such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure (excluding such Revolving Credit Lender’s Swingline Exposure) during the period from and including the Effective Date to, but excluding, the date on which any such Revolving Credit Commitment terminates. Accrued Unused Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate. All Unused Commitment Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the same Applicable Interest Rate Margin used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Revolving Loans on the average daily amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s L/C Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date up to but excluding the later of the date on which such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment terminates and the date on which such Revolving Credit Lender ceases to have any L/C Exposure, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate per annum separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Issuing Bank on the average daily amount of the L/C Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed L/C Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date up to, but excluding, the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any L/C Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All fees under this Section 2.11(b) shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the fees payable to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Fee Letter to which the Administrative Agent is a party.

(d) All fees payable under this Section 2.11 shall be paid, on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) and, in the case of facility fees and participation fees, for distribution by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Credit Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.12. Interest. (a) The Loans constituting each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Interest Margin Rate for such Loan.

(b) The Loans constituting each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Interest Margin Rate for such Loan.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any principal of, or interest on any Loan or any fee or other monetary payment Obligation payable by the Borrower hereunder shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of principal of any Loan, 2.0% per

annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding clauses of this Section 2.12 and (ii) in the case of any other Obligation that has become due and payable (but is unpaid), 2.0% plus the rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 2.12.

(d) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 2.12 shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Revolving Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at any time and from time to time upon request of Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate applicable to Loans pursuant to this Agreement.

SECTION 2.13. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period; or

(b) the Administrative Agent is notified by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing for such Interest Period shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower as promptly as practicable of receipt of any notice from the Required Lenders referred to in paragraph (b) above of this Section 2.13. Any Lender delivering such notice shall be deemed to be an “Affected Lender” for purposes hereof until such Lender delivers to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower a withdrawal of such notice.

SECTION 2.14. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank; or

(ii) impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or the Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then subject to paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 2.14, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then subject to paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 2.14, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount(s) necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, and the basis for the calculation thereof as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.14 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.14 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.15. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.10 and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense sustained by such Lender (or its Affiliates) as a result of such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall include any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Eurodollar Loan to the Borrower, but shall exclude any loss of anticipated Applicable Interest Rate Margin that would have accrued following such event with respect to each such Eurodollar Loan but for the occurrence of such event. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount(s) that such Lender is entitled to receive and the basis for the calculation thereof pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.16. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Issuing Bank, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt, if any, issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return, if any, reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to any Indemnified Tax or Other Tax (including by application of any treaty, the benefits of which such Lender is entitled), with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), on or prior to the date such Foreign Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (or designates a new lending office) and at such other times as may be necessary in the reasonable determination of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, (i) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or any successor forms), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Code to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under this Agreement, or (ii) if such Lender is not a “bank” or other Person described in Section 881(c)(3) of the Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI pursuant to clause (i) above of this Section 2.16(e), a Certificate of Non-Bank Status together with two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Code to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of interest payable under this Agreement. Each Lender that is not a Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Form W-9 (or applicable successor form) unless it establishes to the satisfaction of the Borrower that the Lender is otherwise eligible for an exemption from backup withholding tax or other applicable withholding tax. Each Lender hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of such forms, certificates or other evidence required to be provided pursuant to the first two sentences of this Section 2.16(e), whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent for transmission to the Borrower two new original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form ▇-▇▇▇▇, ▇-▇▇▇▇ or W-9 or a Certificate of Non-Bank Status and two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8, as the case may be, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Code to confirm or establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to payments to such Lender under this Agreement, or notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.16(e), a Foreign Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 2.16(e) that such Foreign Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(f) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall promptly notify the Borrower of such refund and promptly pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant

Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

SECTION 2.17. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of L/C Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, except (i) payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and (ii) payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16, and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars.

(b) Except for payments and other amounts received by the Administrative Agent and applied in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (f) of this Section 2.17, all payments and other amounts received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed L/C Disbursements, interest, fees and other monetary payment Obligations then due hereunder, as applicable, shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed L/C Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed L/C Disbursements then due to such parties and (iii) third towards payment of any other monetary payment Obligations then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of such Obligations then due to such parties.

(c) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and

accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph (c) of this Section 2.17 shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in L/C Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph (c) of this of this Section 2.17 shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

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

(e) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.05(d) or (e), 2.06(b) or 2.17(d), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

(f) The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and agrees that, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.17(b), the Administrative Agent may, and, upon either (A) the written direction of the Required Lenders or (B) the acceleration of the monetary payment Obligations pursuant to Article VII, shall, apply all payments in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations in the following order:

(i) first, to pay interest on and then principal of any portion of the Loans that the Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrower;

(ii) second, to pay Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Administrative Agent;

(iii) third, to pay Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Lenders and the Issuing Bank;

(iv) fourth, to pay Obligations in respect of any fees then due to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank;

(v) fifth, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Loans and L/C Disbursements;

(vi) sixth, to pay or prepay principal amounts on the Loans and L/C Disbursements (provided, that all such amounts to be applied to the Revolving Credit Facility shall first be applied to repay any outstanding Swingline Loans), to provide cash collateral for outstanding undrawn Letters of Credit in the manner described in Section 2.05(j) and to pay Hedging Obligations owing to any Hedging Creditor and Cash Management Obligations owing to any Guaranteed Party, ratably to the aggregate principal amount of such Loans, L/C Disbursements and undrawn Letters of Credit, Hedging Obligations and Cash Management Obligations; and

(vii) seventh, to the ratable payment of all other Guaranteed Obligations;

provided, however, that if sufficient funds are not available to fund all payments to be made in respect of any Guaranteed Obligation described in any of clauses (i) through (vii) above, the available funds being applied with respect to any such Guaranteed Obligation (unless otherwise specified in such clause) shall be allocated to the payment of such Guaranteed Obligations ratably, based on the proportion of the Administrative Agent’s, each Lender’s, each Hedging Creditor’s, the Issuing Bank’s and each other holder of a Guaranteed Obligation’s interest in the aggregate outstanding Obligations described in such clauses. The order of priority set forth in clauses (i) through (vii) above may at any time and from time to time be changed by the agreement of the Required Lenders and, to the extent that each Class is not equally affected thereby, with the additional agreement of the Required Class Lenders with respect to each affected Class, without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by the Borrower, any Guaranteed Party that is not a Lender or Issuing Bank or by any other Person that is not a Lender or Issuing Bank. The order of priority set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above may be changed only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent in addition to that of the Required Lenders.

SECTION 2.18. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16 or as a result of any Lender’s assignment to an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund pursuant to Section 9.04(b), or if any Lender is an Affected Lender, then such Lender shall, upon the request of the Borrower, use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if such designation or assignment (i) would be reasonably expected to eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.14 or 2.16 in the future or result in such Lender or its assignee, as applicable, not being an Affected Lender; and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16 or as a result of any Lender’s assignment to an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund pursuant to Section 9.04(b), or (ii) any Lender is a Non-Funding Lender or (iii) any Lender has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination which pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document requires the consent of all of the Lenders or of any Class of Lenders and with respect to which the Required Lenders or the Required Class Lenders, as applicable, shall have granted their consent (provided that for the purposes of this clause (iii), each of the percentages specified in the definitions of “Required Lenders” and “Required Class Lenders” shall be deemed, in each such case, to be increased to 75% and each such definition shall be construed accordingly), then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (other than in the case of a default by a non-funding Lender, in which case such Lender shall be responsible for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs of the Borrower), upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, (x) prepay such Lender in full or (y) require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee selected by the Borrower and approved by the Administrative Agent (such approval not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) in accordance with Section 9.04, that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in L/C Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts (including any amount required to be paid under Section 2.15) payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (ii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment would be reasonably expected to result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

ARTICLE VIII

The Administrative Agent; The Agents

(a) Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender and the Issuing Bank hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, and to perform its respective obligations under, each of the Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party, to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Administrative Agent may have under such Loan Documents.

(b) Each bank serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to

exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (iii) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by any bank serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (v) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with the Loan Documents, (w) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (x) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (y) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of the Loan Documents or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (z) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), 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.

(e) The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.

(f) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Admnistrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, subject to the approval of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld) so long as the Borrower is not then in Default. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the relevant Lenders and the Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, subject to the approval of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld) so long as the Borrower is not then in Default, which

shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such retiring Administrative Agent, and such retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

(g) Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

(h) Each Lender and the Issuing Bank agree that any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, where required by the express terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of the Lenders) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or of the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, where so required, such greater proportion) of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to act as the disbursing and collecting agent for, respectively, (and, following an Event of Default, for each of) the Revolving Credit Lenders (and the Issuing Bank) and the Term Lenders with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection herewith.

(i) The Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders to effect any release of guarantee obligations contemplated by Section 9.14.

(j) None of the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, the Co-Syndication Agent or the Documentation Agents shall have, nor by reason of being named in this Agreement shall be deemed to have, any obligations under this Agreement.

SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder are

cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase any Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) increase the maximum aggregate amount of Swing Line Loans or L/C Exposure permitted to be outstanding hereunder without the written consent of the Required Class Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility and (in the case of such increase to the maximum aggregate amount of L/C Exposure) the Issuing Bank, (iii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or L/C Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon (other than a waiver of default interest arising under Section 2.12(c)), or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) postpone the Maturity Date or the scheduled date of payment of any interest on any Loan, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (v) change Section 2.17(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (vi) release any Guarantor from its guarantee obligations under the Guaranty (except as permitted by Section 9.14) without the written consent of each Lender, (vii) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender or (viii) change the allocation between any optional prepayments of Term Loans and Revolving Loans, without the written consent of the applicable Required Class Lenders affected thereby; provided, further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be; provided, further, that the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may, with the consent of the other, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement to cure any ambiguity, typographical error, defect or inconsistency, so long as such amendment, modification or supplement does not adversely affect the rights of any Lender or any Issuing Bank; provided, further, that the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may enter into any amendment necessary to implement the terms of an Incremental Term Loan or Revolving Credit Facility Increase in accordance with the terms of this Agreement without the consent of any Lender.

SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel, expenses incurred in connection with due diligence and travel, courier, reproduction, printing and delivery expenses and expenses related to the use

of IntraLinks, in connection with the arrangement and syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, waivers, modifications or extensions (including amendments, waivers, modifications or extensions proposed by the Borrower) of the provisions hereof and thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated); provided that the Borrower shall not be required (except in connection with the primary syndication of the Loans) to pay any fees and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Joint Lead Arrangers or any Related Parties of any of the foregoing Persons incurred in connection with an assignment or participation of any rights or obligations of a Lender hereunder unless initiated by the Borrower under Section 2.18(b) other than as a result of a default by the Lender; (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank (without duplication of amounts described in Section 2.11(b)) in connection with the issuance, amendment, waiver, modification, extension or renewal (including proposed amendments, waivers, modifications, extensions or renewals) of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder; and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender and the Joint Lead Arrangers, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender and the Joint Lead Arrangers in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights under and in connection with this Agreement or the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with any workout proceedings, enforcement costs and documentary taxes or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. All amounts due under this clause (a) shall be payable not later than 30 days after written demand therefor.

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the each Agent, the Issuing Bank, each Lender, the Joint Lead Arrangers and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all reasonable out-of pocket costs, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with any actual or threatened third-party claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding (a “Third-Party Claim”), whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, relating to (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions, the Acquisition or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit) or (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that the foregoing indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of such Indemnitee. Upon receipt of notice of any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof. The Borrower, in its sole discretion, upon written notice to the Indemnitee(s), may elect to defend (or may at any time assume the defense of) and may, with the consent of the Indemnitee(s) (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), settle or compromise any such Third-Party Claim, using counsel

appointed by Borrower, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, if such settlement or compromise would result in the full release of Indemnitee from any liability arising thereof, or with the consent of the Indemnitee (not to be unreasonably withheld). No Indemnitee may compromise or settle or consent to the entry of judgment or determination of liability with respect to a Third-Party Claim for which it is seeking indemnification hereof, without the consent of Borrower. All amounts due under this clause (b) shall be payable not later than 30 days after written demand therefor.

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, (i) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, and (ii) each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to pay to the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be, respectively, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage with respect to the Facilities and such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such respective unpaid amounts; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender in its capacity as such. All amounts due under this clause (c) shall be payable promptly after written demand therefor.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, the Acquisition, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any such attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Total Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:

(A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment (x) to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, or an Approved Fund of a Lender or (y) if an Event of Default under paragraph (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing, to any other assignee;

(B) the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment (i) with respect to any Term Loan, to an assignee that is a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund of a Lender or a Federal Reserve Bank, immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment or (ii) with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, to an assignee that is a Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility; and

(C) with respect to any assignment of Revolving Credit Commitments, Revolving Credit Exposure or any other rights and obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Issuing Bank.

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under paragraph (a), (b), (h) or (i) of Article VII has occurred and is continuing;

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that this Section 9.04(b)(ii)(B) shall not be construed to prohibit assignment of a proportionate part of all such assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Class of Commitments or Loans;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 payable to the Administrative Agent; provided, that such fee shall only be required to be paid once in connection with a combination of substantially contemporaneous (as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent) assignments made to assignees which are Affiliates of each other or made to Approved Funds of an assignee; and

(D) the assignee, if it is not an existing Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section 9.04, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of

a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 9.04.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and shall record each assignment made in accordance with this Agreement from time to time in the Register in accordance with Section 2.09(c).

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b)(ii)(C) of this Section 9.04 and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b)(i) of this Section 9.04, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Total Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations arising from such participations so sold by such Lender and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section 9.04, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 9.04. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(c) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.14, 2.15 or 2.16 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A

Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.16(e) and (f) as though it were a Lender.

(d) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (except as may be required under Section 9.04(b)(i) in connection with an assignment resulting from an enforcement of a pledge or security interest) pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; 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 as a party hereto.

SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents in effect constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 9.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

(b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court 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, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B)

ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 9.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. (a) Subject as provided in paragraph (b) below, each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and agree to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process or in any pending legal or administrative proceeding (in which case the applicable party agrees to inform the Borrower promptly thereof in advance, if permitted by applicable law), (iv) to any other party to this Agreement, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (x) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (y) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (vii) with the consent of the Borrower or (viii) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.12 or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any of its Affiliates. For the purposes of this paragraph, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any of its Affiliates relating to the Borrower or its business in connection with the facilities for the Loans in connection with the performance by the Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank and the Lenders, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower after the Effective Date, 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 paragraph 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.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.12(a) or anything to the contrary set forth herein, each party to this Agreement (and each of their respective employees, representatives or other agents) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitations of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 9.12(a) FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE

BORROWER AND ITS RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

SECTION 9.13. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 9.14. Release of Guarantors.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, upon request of the Borrower in connection with any disposition permitted by the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender) take such actions as shall be required to release any guarantee obligations under any Loan Document of any Subsidiary Guarantor being disposed of in such disposition, to the extent necessary to permit consummation of such disposition in accordance with the Loan Documents.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, when the principal and interest with respect to all Loans and all other monetary payment Obligations which are then due and payable have been paid in full, all Commitments have terminated or expired and no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding, upon request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender) take such actions as shall be required to release all guarantee obligations under any Loan Document of any Guarantor. Any such release of guarantee obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such guarantee obligations shall be reinstated if within 180 days after such release (or such longer period under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect during which any payment in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed thereby can be annulled, avoided, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid) any portion of any payment in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made; provided, however, that any such reinstated guarantee shall be released immediately upon the Guaranteed Obligations being indefeasibly paid in full.

SECTION 9.15. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.
