ARTICLE 2 THE CREDIT FACILITY.

Section 2.1 Commitments for Revolving Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make one or more loans (each referred to herein as a “Loan” or “Revolving Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time prior to the Commitment Termination Date applicable to such Lender on a revolving basis in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding an amount equal to its Commitment, subject to any increases or reductions thereof pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that no Lender shall be required to make any Loan if, after giving effect thereto, (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Loans of all Lenders would thereby exceed the Commitment then in effect; or (ii) the Revolving Credit Exposure of such Lender would thereby exceed its Commitment then in effect. Each Borrowing of Loans shall be made ratably from the Lenders in proportion to their respective Applicable Percentages. Loans of each Lender may be repaid, in whole or in part, and all or any portion of the principal amounts thereof reborrowed, before the Commitment Termination Date applicable to such Lender, subject to the terms and conditions hereof. Funding of Loans for any Borrowing shall be in U.S. Dollars.

Section 2.2 Types of Loans and Minimum Borrowing Amounts. Borrowings may be outstanding as either Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, as selected by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.3. Each Borrowing of Base Rate Loans shall be in Dollars and shall be in an amount of not less than $1,000,000; each Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans shall be in Dollars and shall be in an amount of not less than $5,000,000 and in an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple.

Section 2.3 Manner of Borrowings; Continuations and Conversions of Borrowings.

(a) Notice of Borrowings. Except as otherwise permitted by each Lender, the Borrower shall give notice (i) to each Lender by no later than 12:00 P.M. New York time at least three (3) Business Days before the date on which the Borrower requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans, and (ii) to each Lender by no later than 12:00 P.M. New York time at least one (1) Business Day before the date on which the Borrower requests the Lenders to advance a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, in each case pursuant to a duly completed Borrowing Request substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.3 (each a “Borrowing Request”) executed on behalf of the Borrower.

(b) Notice of Continuation or Conversion of Outstanding Borrowings. The Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by each Borrowing or, subject to the minimum amount requirements in Section 2.2 for each outstanding Borrowing, a portion thereof, as follows: (i) if such Borrowing is of Eurocurrency Loans, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto the Borrower may continue part or all of such Borrowing as Eurocurrency Loans in the same currency for an Interest Period specified by the Borrower in the applicable notice as set forth below, or if

such Borrowing is denominated in Dollars, the Borrower may earlier convert part or all of such Borrowing into Base Rate Loans so long as it pays the breakage costs, expenses and funding losses provided in Section 2.11; and (ii) if such Borrowing is of Base Rate Loans, the Borrower may convert all or part of such Borrowing into Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars for an Interest Period specified by the Borrower on any Business Day, in each case pursuant to notices of continuation or conversion as set forth below. The Borrower may select multiple Interest Periods for Borrowings of Eurocurrency Loans, provided, that at no time shall the number of different Interest Periods for outstanding Borrowings of Eurocurrency Loans exceed ten (10) (it being understood for such purposes that (x) Interest Periods of the same duration, but commencing on different dates, shall be counted as different Interest Periods, and (y) all Interest Periods commencing on the same date and of the same duration for Loans denominated in the same currency shall be counted as one Interest Period regardless of the number of Borrowings or Loans involved. Notices of the continuation of such Eurocurrency Loans for an additional Interest Period or of the conversion of part or all of such Eurocurrency Loans into Base Rate Loans or of such Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars must be given to each Lender by no later than 12:00 P.M. New York time at least three (3) Business Days before such continuation or conversion with respect to Eurocurrency Loans to be so continued or converted, in each case before the date of the requested continuation or conversion.

(c) Manner of Notice. The Borrower shall give such notices concerning the advance, continuation, or conversion of a Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.3 by approved electronic communication or by facsimile transmission (which notice shall be irrevocable once given) pursuant to a Borrowing Request which shall specify the date of the requested advance, continuation or conversion (which shall be a Business Day), the amount of the requested Borrowing, whether such Borrowing is to be advanced, continued, or converted, the type of Loans to comprise such new, continued or converted Borrowing and, if such Borrowing is to be comprised of Eurocurrency Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto. In addition, such notices with respect to Borrowings being advanced or continued in Dollars, or converted from Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars, may be given by telephone notice to any Lender, promptly confirmed in writing as provided in this Section 2.3(c). The Borrower agrees that any Lender may rely on any such approved electronic communication, facsimile transmission, or telephonic notice given by any Person it in good faith believes is an authorized representative of the Borrower without the necessity of independent investigation (and in the case of any permitted telephonic notice, if such notice conflicts with any written confirmation, such telephonic notice shall govern if such Lender has acted in reliance thereon).

(d) Notice to the Lenders. Each Lender shall give prompt notice by electronic communication or facsimile transmission to each other Lender of any notice received pursuant to this Section 2.3 relating to a Borrowing. Each Lender shall give notice to the Borrower and each other Lender by like means of the interest rate applicable to each Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans promptly after such Lender has made such determination. In addition, each Lender may give such notice by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing as provided in this Section 2.3(d).

(e) Borrower’s Failure to Notify. If the Borrower fails to give notice pursuant to Section 2.3(a) or Section 2.3(b), as the case may be, of the continuation or conversion of any outstanding principal amount of any outstanding Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans, and has not notified each Lender by 12:00 P.M. New York time at least three (3) Business Days before the last day of the Interest Period for any outstanding Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in U.S. Dollars, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested, as applicable, the continuation of such Borrowing as a Eurocurrency Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month, in each case so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred

and be continuing or would occur as a result of such Borrowing but otherwise disregarding the conditions to Borrowings set forth in Section 4.2. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and upon notice thereof from any Lender to the Borrower (i) each Eurocurrency Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, convert into a Base Rate Loan, and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to continue Eurocurrency Loans or convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Loans shall be suspended.

(f) Conversion. If the Borrower shall elect to convert any particular Borrowing comprised of Loans denominated in Dollars pursuant to this Section 2.3 from one Type of Loan to the other Type only in part, then, from and after the date on which such conversion shall be effective, such particular Borrowing shall, for all purposes of this Agreement (including, without limitation, for purposes of subsequent application of this sentence), be deemed to instead constitute two Borrowings (each originally advanced on the same date as such particular Borrowing), one comprised of (subject to subsequent conversion in accordance with this Agreement) Eurocurrency Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the portion of such Borrowing so elected by the Borrower to be comprised of Eurocurrency Loans and the second comprised of (subject to subsequent conversion in accordance with this Agreement) Base Rate Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the portion of such particular Borrowing so elected by the Borrower to be comprised of Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower shall elect to have multiple Interest Periods apply to any particular Borrowing comprised of Eurocurrency Loans denominated in the same currency, then, from and after the date such multiple Interest Periods commence, such particular Borrowing shall, for all purposes of this Agreement (including, without limitation, for purposes of subsequent application of this sentence), be deemed to constitute a number of separate Borrowings (each originally commencing on the same date as such particular Borrowing) equal to the number of, and corresponding to, the different Interest Periods so selected, each such deemed separate Borrowing corresponding to a particular selected Interest Period comprised of (subject to subsequent conversion in accordance with this Agreement) Eurocurrency Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the portion of such particular Borrowing so elected by the Borrower to have such Interest Period. This Section 2.3(f) shall be applied appropriately in the event that the Borrower shall make the elections described in the two preceding sentences at the same time with respect to the same particular Borrowing.

Section 2.4 Interest Periods. As provided in Section 2.3, at the time of each request for a Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans, or for the continuation or conversion of any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans, the Borrower shall select the Interest Period(s) to be applicable to such Loans from among the available options, subject to the limitations in Section 2.3; provided, however, that:

(a) the Borrower may not select an Interest Period that extends beyond the Commitment Termination Date then applicable to any Lender;

(b) whenever the last day of any Interest Period would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, the last day of such Interest Period shall either be (i) extended to the next succeeding Business Day, or (ii) in the case of Eurocurrency Loans only, reduced to the immediately preceding Business Day if the next succeeding Business Day is in the next calendar month; and

(c) for purposes of determining an Interest Period, a month means a period starting on one day in a calendar month and ending on the numerically corresponding day in the next calendar month; provided, however, that if there is no such numerically corresponding day in the month in which an Interest Period is to end or if an Interest Period begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month, then in the case of Eurocurrency Loans only, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of the calendar month in which such Interest Period is to end.

Section 2.5 Funding of Loans. Not later than 3:00 P.M. New York time with respect to any Revolving Loan, on the date of any requested advance of a new Borrowing of Loans, each Lender, subject to all other provisions hereof, shall make available to the Borrower, in funds immediately available for the benefit of the Borrower and according to the payment instructions of the Borrower, the proceeds of each such Borrowing. No Lender shall be responsible to the Borrower for any failure by another Lender to fund its portion of a Borrowing, and no such failure by a Lender shall relieve any other Lender from its obligation, if any, to fund its portion of a Borrowing.

Section 2.6 Applicable Interest Rates and Payments.

(a) Base Rate Loans. Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a 365-day year or 366-day year, as the case may be, for Base Rate Loans bearing interest determined by reference to the Prime Rate, and on the basis of a 360 day year for all other Base Rate Loans, in each case for the actual days elapsed, excluding the date of repayment) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Base Rate Loan is made until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or conversion to a Eurocurrency Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the Highest Lawful Rate, or (ii) the sum of the Alternate Base Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans. The Borrower agrees to pay such interest on each Interest Payment Date for such Base Rate Loans and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

(b) Eurocurrency Loans. Each Eurocurrency Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed, excluding the date of repayment) on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loan is made until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or until conversion to a Base Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) the Highest Lawful Rate, or (ii) the sum of (x) Adjusted LIBOR, plus (y) the Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Loans. The Borrower agrees to pay such interest on each Interest Payment Date for such Eurocurrency Loans and at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or conversion to Base Rate Loans.

(c) Rate Determinations. Each Lender shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder insofar as such interest rate involves a determination of the Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBOR, or LIBO Rate, or any applicable default rate pursuant to Section 2.7, and such determination shall be conclusive and binding except in the case of such Lender’s manifest error or willful misconduct. Each Lender shall promptly give notice to the Borrower of each determination of Adjusted LIBOR with respect to each Eurocurrency Borrowing.

Section 2.7 Default Rate. If any payment of principal or interest on any Loan is not made when due after the expiration of the grace period therefor provided in Section 7.1(a) (whether by acceleration or otherwise), such principal or interest amount shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a year of 360, 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and actual days elapsed) after any such grace period expires until such amount then due is paid in full, which the Borrower agrees to pay on demand, at a rate per annum equal to:

(a) for any Base Rate Loan, the lesser of (i) the Highest Lawful Rate, or (ii) the sum of (x) two percent (2%) per annum, plus (y) the rate of interest in effect on such Base Rate Loan as otherwise provided in Section 2.6(a); and

(b) for any Eurocurrency Loan, the lesser of (i) the Highest Lawful Rate, or (ii) the sum of (x) two percent (2%) per annum, plus (y) the rate of interest in effect on such Eurocurrency Loan as otherwise provided in Section 2.6(b) at the time of such default until the end of the Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Loan and, thereafter, at a rate per annum pursuant to this clause (y) equal to the rate of interest as otherwise provided in Section 2.6(a).

It is the intention of the Lenders to conform strictly to usury laws applicable to them. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby or any Loan or other Obligation would be usurious as to any of the Lenders under laws applicable to it (including the laws of the United States of America and the State of New York or any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to such Lender notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Credit Document), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Notes or any other Credit Document, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under laws applicable to such Lender that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by such Lender under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Credit Document or otherwise shall under no circumstances exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, and any excess shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Loans; and (ii) in the event that the maturity of the Loans is accelerated by reason of an election of the holder or holders thereof resulting from any Event of Default hereunder or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under laws applicable to such Lender may never include more than the Highest Lawful Rate, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement, the Notes, any other Credit Document or otherwise shall be automatically canceled by such Lender as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by such Lender on the principal amount of the Loans (or if the principal amount of the Loans shall have been paid in full, refunded by such Lender to the Borrower).

Section 2.8 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(a) Repayment of Loans. The Borrower hereby promises to pay to each Lender, on the Commitment Termination Date for such Lender, the unpaid amount of each Loan then outstanding and owed to such Lender.

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

(c) Evidence of Obligations. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.8(b) shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender 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.

(d) Notes. The Loans outstanding to the Borrower from each Lender shall, at the written request of such Lender, be evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrower payable to such Lender in the form of Exhibit 2.8 (Master Note) or, if such Lender so requests in writing, by one or more individual promissory notes of the Borrower in similar form (each a “Note”). The Borrower agrees to execute and deliver to each Lender requesting one or more promissory notes as aforesaid, an original of each such promissory note, appropriately completed, to evidence the respective Loans made by such Lender hereunder, within ten (10) Business Days after the Borrower receives a written request therefor.

(e) Recording of Loans and Payments on Notes. Each holder of a Note shall record on its books and records or on a schedule to its appropriate Note (and prior to any transfer of any Note shall endorse thereon or on schedules forming a part thereof appropriate notations to evidence) the amount of each Loan outstanding from it to the Borrower evidenced by such Note, all payments of principal and interest and the principal balance from time to time outstanding thereon, the type of such Loan and, if a Eurocurrency Loan the Interest Period and interest rate applicable thereto. Such record, whether shown on the books and records of a holder of a Note or on a schedule to its Note, shall be prima facie evidence as to all such matters; provided, however, that the failure of any holder to record any of the foregoing or any error in any such record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay all Loans outstanding to it hereunder together with accrued interest thereon. At the request of any holder of a Note and upon such holder tendering to the Borrower the Note to be replaced, the Borrower shall furnish a new Note to such holder to replace any outstanding Note and at such time the first notation appearing on the schedule on the reverse side of, or attached to, such new Note shall set forth the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans evidenced by such Note, if any, then outstanding thereon.

Section 2.9 Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the privilege of prepaying any Base Rate Borrowing without premium or penalty at any time in whole or at any time and from time to time in part (but, if in part, then in an amount which is equal to or greater than $1,000,000); provided, however, that the Borrower shall have given notice of such prepayment to the Lenders no later than 12:00 P.M. on the date of such prepayment. The Borrower shall have the privilege of prepaying any Eurocurrency Borrowing (a) without premium or penalty in whole or in part (but, if in part, then in an amount which is equal to or greater than $5,000,000 and in an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple or such smaller amount as needed to prepay a particular Borrowing in full) only on the last Business Day of an Interest Period for such Borrowing, and (b) at any other time without premium or penalty except for the breakage costs, expenses and funding losses that are required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.11; provided, however, that the Borrower shall have given notice of such prepayment to the Lenders no later than 12:00 P.M. at least three (3) Business Days before the last Business Day of such Interest Period or the proposed prepayment date. Any such prepayments shall be made by the payment of the principal amount to be prepaid and accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of such prepayment. Unless otherwise specified in writing by the Borrower, optional prepayments shall be applied first, to the Loans, and second to any other Obligations then outstanding.

Section 2.10 Mandatory Prepayments of Loans. In the event and on each occasion that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Loans exceeds the Commitment then in effect, the Borrower shall promptly prepay Borrowings in an aggregate amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. Immediately upon determining the need to make any such prepayment, the Borrower shall notify the Lenders of such required prepayment and of the identity of the particular Borrowings being prepaid. If any Lender shall notify the Borrower that such Lender has determined that any prepayment is required under this Section 2.10, the Borrower shall make such prepayment no later than the second Business Day following such notice. Any mandatory prepayment pursuant hereto shall not be limited by the notice provision for prepayments set forth in Section 2.9. Each such prepayment shall be accompanied by a payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans prepaid and any applicable breakage costs, expenses and funding losses pursuant to Section 2.11.

Section 2.11 Breakage Costs. If any Lender incurs any cost, expense or loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits and other indirect or consequential damages) by reason of the liquidation or re-employment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain any Eurocurrency Loan as a result of any of the following events (other than any such occurrence as a result of a change of circumstance described in Section 8.1):

(a) any payment, prepayment or conversion of any such Loan on a date other than the last day of its Interest Period (whether by acceleration, mandatory prepayment or otherwise);

(b) any failure to make a principal payment of any such Loan on the due date therefor;

(c) any failure by the Borrower to borrow, continue or prepay, or convert to, any such Loan on the date specified in a notice given pursuant to Section 2.3 (other than by reason of a default of such Lender); or

(d) any assignment of such Eurocurrency Loan that is required by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.13;

then the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amount as will reimburse such Lender for such loss, cost or expense. Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) with respect to a Eurocurrency Loan, the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Eurocurrency Loan had such event not occurred, at the LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Eurocurrency Loan (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Applicable Margin for such Eurocurrency Loan), for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Loan) over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the applicable currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the London or European interbank market. If any Lender makes such a claim for compensation, it shall provide to the Borrower a certificate executed by an officer of such Lender setting forth the amount of such loss, cost or expense in reasonable detail (including an explanation of the basis for and the computation of such loss, cost or expense) no later than ninety (90) days after the event giving rise to the claim for compensation, and the amounts shown on such certificate shall be prima facie evidence of such Lender’s entitlement thereto. Within ten (10) days of receipt of such certificate, the Borrower shall pay directly to such Lender such amount as will compensate such Lender for such loss, cost or expense as provided herein, unless such Lender has failed to timely give notice to the Borrower of such claim for compensation as provided herein, in which event the Borrower shall not have any obligation to pay such claim.

Section 2.12 Commitment Reductions and Terminations. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time, upon three (3) Business Days’ prior and irrevocable written notice to the Lenders, to terminate or reduce the Commitments without premium or penalty, in whole or in part, with any partial reduction (i) to be in an amount not less than $5,000,000 as determined by the Borrower and in integral multiples of $5,000,000 and (ii) as to the Commitments to be allocated ratably among the Lenders in proportion to their respective Commitments; provided, that the Commitment may not be reduced to an amount less than the sum of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Loans, after giving effect to payments on such proposed termination or reduction date. Any termination of Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.12 is permanent and may not be reinstated.

Section 2.13 Extensions of Commitment Termination Date. No earlier than 90 days and at least 30 days prior to any anniversary of the Closing Date, the Borrower may (but in no event on more than two occasions during the term of this Agreement), by written notice to the Lenders, request that the Commitment Termination Date then in effect be extended for a one-year period. If a Lender agrees, in its individual and sole discretion, to so extend its Commitment (an “Extending Lender”), it shall deliver to the Borrower a written notice of its agreement to do so no earlier than 60 days, but not later than 30 days, prior to such anniversary date (and such agreement shall be irrevocable until such anniversary date). The Commitment of any Lender that declines or fails to accept or respond to the Borrower’s request for extension of the Commitment Termination Date (a “Declining Lender”) shall be terminated on the Commitment Termination Date then in effect for such Lender (without regard to any extension by other Lenders), and on such Commitment Termination Date the Borrower shall pay in full the unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans owing to such Declining Lender, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all fees accrued and unpaid under this Agreement to the date of such payment of principal and all other amounts due to such Declining Lender under this Agreement. The Borrower shall promptly notify each Extending Lender of the aggregate Commitments of the Declining Lenders. Each Extending Lender may offer to increase its respective Commitment by an aggregate amount up to the aggregate amount of the Declining Lenders’ Commitments and such Extending Lender shall deliver to the Borrower a notice of its offer to so increase its Commitment no later than 15 days prior to such anniversary date (and such offer shall be irrevocable until such anniversary date). To the extent the aggregate amount of extended Commitments is less than the aggregate amount of Commitments so requested to be extended pursuant to the foregoing, the Borrower shall have the right to require any Declining Lender to (and any such Declining Lender shall) assign in full its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees (which may be, but need not be, one or more of the existing Lenders) which at the time agree to, in the case of any such Person that is an existing Lender, increase its Commitment and in the case of any other such Person (a “Replacement Lender”) become a party to this Agreement; provided that (i) such assignment is otherwise in compliance with Section 9.10(a), (ii) such Declining Lender receives payment in full of the unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Loans owing to such Declining Lender, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all fees accrued and unpaid under this Agreement to the date of such payment of principal and all other amounts due to such Declining Lender under this Agreement and (iii) any such assignment shall be effective on the date on or before such anniversary date as may be specified by the Borrower and agreed to by the Replacement Lenders or the Extending Lenders, as the case may be. If, but only if, Extending Lenders and Replacement Lenders have agreed to provide Commitments in an aggregate amount greater than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments outstanding immediately prior to such anniversary date, the Commitment Termination Date of such Extending Lenders and Replacement Lenders shall be extended by one year.

Section 2.14 Increase in Commitment.

(a) The Borrower may, at any time prior to the Commitment Termination Date, by notice to the Lenders, request that the amount of the Commitment be increased by an amount of $25,000,000 or an integral multiple of $25,000,000 above such amount (each a “Commitment Increase”) to be effective as of a date that is at least 90 days prior to the earliest scheduled Commitment Termination Date then in effect (the “Increase Date”) as specified in the related notice to the Lenders; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall the aggregate amount of Commitment Increases pursuant to this Section 2.14 exceed $200,000,000, and (ii) on the proposed Increase Date for each requested Commitment Increase, the conditions set forth in Section 4.2(b) and (c) for a Borrowing on the Increase Date shall be satisfied, both before and after giving effect to such Commitment Increase.

(b) Each notice from the Borrower to the Lenders requesting a Commitment Increase shall include (i) the proposed amount of such requested Commitment Increase, (ii) the proposed Increase Date and (iii) the date by which Lenders wishing to participate in the Commitment Increase must commit to an increase in the amount of their respective Commitments (the “Commitment Date”). Each Lender that is willing to participate in such requested Commitment Increase (each an “Increasing Lender”) shall, in its sole discretion, give written notice to the Borrower on or prior to the Commitment Date of the amount by which it is willing to increase its Commitment. If the Lenders notify the Borrower that they are willing to increase the amount of their respective Commitments by an aggregate amount that exceeds the amount of the requested Commitment Increase, the requested Commitment Increase shall be allocated among the Lenders willing to participate therein in such amounts as are agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders.

(c) If the aggregate amount by which the Lenders are willing to participate in any requested Commitment Increase on any such Commitment Date is less than the requested Commitment Increase, then the Borrower may extend offers to one or more Eligible Assignees to participate in any portion of the requested Commitment Increase that has not been committed to by the Lenders as of the applicable Commitment Date; provided, however, that the Commitment of each such Eligible Assignee shall be in an amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $5,000,000 above such amount.

(d) On each Increase Date, each Eligible Assignee that accepts an offer to participate in a requested Commitment Increase (each such Eligible Assignee, an “Additional Lender”) shall become a Lender party to this Agreement as of such Increase Date, and the Commitment of each Increasing Lender for such requested Commitment Increase shall be increased by the amount approved for such Increasing Lender (or by the amount allocated to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.14(b)) as of such Increase Date; provided, that each Increasing Lender and Additional Lender shall have received on or before such Increase Date the following, each dated as of such date and in form and substance satisfactory to such Increasing Lender(s) and Additional Lender(s):

(i)

(A) certified copies of resolutions of the board of directors of the Borrower (or other appropriate governing body with comparable authority) approving the Commitment Increase, and (B) a certificate of the President, a Vice President or the Chief Financial Officer of the Borrower as to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.2(b) and (c) as of the date of, and after giving effect to, such Commitment Increase;

(ii)

an assumption or joinder agreement from each Additional Lender, if any, in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower and such Additional Lender (each an “Assumption Agreement”), duly executed by such Additional Lender and the Borrower; and

(iii)

confirmation from each Increasing Lender of the increase in the amount of its Commitment in a writing satisfactory to the Borrower.

On each Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 2.14(d), the Increasing Lenders and Additional Lender(s), as applicable, shall notify the Lenders and the Borrower, on or before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time), by facsimile or other electronic means, of the occurrence of the Commitment Increase to be effected on such Increase Date, shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Increasing Lender and each Additional

Lender on such date, and shall revise and distribute to the Lenders and the Borrower a new Schedule 1.1-C to reflect the Commitments and Applicable Percentages of all Lenders (including any Additional Lenders) after giving effect to such Commitment Increase. Upon the effectiveness of such Commitment Increase, the Commitments of each of the Lenders (including any Additional Lenders), and the outstanding amount of all Revolving Loans shall be reallocated among such Lenders in accordance with such Commitments and Applicable Percentages.

(e) In order to effect the reallocations described in Section 2.14(d), each Additional Lender and each Increasing Lender (each a “Purchasing Lender”) shall be deemed to have purchased the rights, title and interest in, and all obligations in respect of, a pro rata portion of the Applicable Percentages and/or Commitments and outstanding Revolving Loans, as applicable, of the other Lenders, so that the Commitments and Applicable Percentages of all Lenders (including any Additional Lenders) will be as set forth on the revised Schedule 1.1-C. Such purchases shall be deemed to have been effected by way of, and subject to the terms and conditions of, Assignment Agreements without the payment of any related assignment fees and, except for any new or replacement Notes to be provided to any Purchasing Lenders in the principal amounts of their respective Commitments, no other documents or instruments shall be, or shall be required to be, executed in connection with such assignments (all of which are hereby waived). The Lenders shall make cash settlements among themselves with respect to such reallocations and assignments. To the extent such reallocations and payments to Lenders in respect of Revolving Loans on the Increase Date result in losses, costs or expenses to such Lenders of the types subject to reimbursement by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.11, the Borrower shall promptly pay such amounts to the affected Lenders.

ARTICLE 3 FEES AND PAYMENTS.

Section 3.1 Fees.

(a) Commitment Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate on the daily unused amount of the Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the third (3^rd) Business Day following the last calendar day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on the third (3^rd) Business Day following [ ], 2014 (with the payment due on such initial payment date to be calculated for the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on [ ], 2014), on the date(s) on which such Lender’s Commitment shall have terminated, and on the Maturity Date. All 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) Payment of Fees. All fees payable under this Section 3.1 shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the applicable Lenders.

Section 3.2 Place and Application of Payments.

(a) All payments of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans, and all fees and other amounts payable by the Borrower under the Credit Documents shall be made by the Borrower to the applicable Lenders, without defense, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, in immediately available funds on the due date thereof, no later than 2:00 P.M. in such location as such Lender may designate in writing to the Borrower. Any payments received by a Lender from the Borrower after the time specified in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day.

Section 3.3 Withholding Taxes.

(a) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 3.3, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Credit Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in good faith by an applicable Withholding Agent) requires deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that, after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.3), the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had not such deduction or withholding been made.

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

(d) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 15 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.3) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.3, the Borrower or such other Loan Party shall deliver to the Lenders the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment, or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lenders.

(f) Status of Lenders.

(i)

Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document shall deliver to the Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by

the Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will enable the Borrower to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii)

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is or becomes a U.S. Person,

(A)

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

(B)

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

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

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 3.3-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 3.3-2 or Exhibit 3.3-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 3.3-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C)

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

(D)

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

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

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.3 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.3), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 3.3 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the

request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 3.3(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.3(g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 3.3(g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 3.3(g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.3 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Credit Document.

ARTICLE 5 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

The Borrower represents and warrants to each Lender as follows:

Section 5.1 Corporate Organization. The Borrower and each other material Member of the Consolidated Group: (i) is duly organized and existing in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization or registration (as the case may be); (ii) has all necessary organizational power and authority to own the property and assets it uses in its business and otherwise to carry on its present business; and (iii) is duly licensed or qualified and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business transacted by it or the nature of the property owned or leased by it makes such licensing or qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so licensed or qualified or to be in good standing, as the case may be, would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.2 Power and Authority; Validity. Each of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties has the organizational power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of the Credit Documents to which it is a party and has taken all necessary company action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of such Credit Documents. Each of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties has duly executed and delivered each Credit Document to which it is a party and each such Credit Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower or such other Loan Party, as the case may be, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject as to enforcement only to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and equitable principles.

Section 5.3 No Violation. Neither the execution, delivery or performance by the Borrower or the other Loan Parties of the Credit Documents to which it is a party nor compliance by it with the terms and provisions thereof, nor the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated herein or therein, will (i) contravene in any material respect any applicable provision of any law, statute, rule or regulation, or any applicable order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, (ii) conflict with or result in any breach of any term, covenant, condition or other provision of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien, other than any Permitted Lien, upon any of the property or assets of the Borrower or any other Member of the Consolidated Group, the terms of any material contractual obligation to which the Borrower or any other Member of the Consolidated Group is a party or by which they or any of their properties or assets are bound or to which they may be subject, or (iii) violate or conflict with any provision of the memorandum of association and articles of association, charter, articles or certificate of incorporation, partnership or limited liability company agreement, by-laws, or other applicable governance documents of the Borrower or any other Member of the Consolidated Group.

Except as may be described in the Borrower’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-196958) or in any filing of Holdings with the SEC prior to the Effective Date (the matters set forth therein being collectively referred to as the “Disclosed Matters”), there are no actions, suits, proceedings or counterclaims (including, without limitation, derivative or injunctive actions) pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against the Borrower or any other Member of the Consolidated Group that are reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.5 Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations.

(a) Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Revolving Loans have been and are only being used for permitted investments and future acquisitions, capital expenditures, working capital and other general corporate purposes of the Consolidated Group, and none of such proceeds have been or are being used for any purpose contrary to the provisions of Section 6.9.

(b) Margin Stock. None of the Borrower nor any other Member of the Consolidated Group is engaged in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock. No proceeds of the Revolving Loans will be used for a purpose which violates Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. After application of the proceeds of the Revolving Loans, and any acquisitions permitted hereunder, less than 25% of the assets of the Borrower and the other Members of the Consolidated Group consists of “margin stock” (as defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System).

Section 5.6 Investment Company Act. None of the Borrower nor any other Member of the Consolidated Group is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Section 5.7 True and Complete Disclosure. All factual information (taken as a whole, and excluding information of a general economic or industry nature) furnished by the Borrower or any other Member of the Consolidated Group in writing to any Lender in connection with any Credit Document or any transactions contemplated in any of the foregoing, did not, as of the date such information was furnished (or, if such information expressly related to a specific date, as of such specific date), contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein (taken as a whole), in light of the circumstances under which such information was furnished, not materially misleading, except for such statements, if any, as have been updated, corrected, supplemented, superseded or modified pursuant to a written correction or supplement furnished to such Lenders prior to the Effective Date.

Section 5.8 Financial Statements. The financial statements of the Borrower’s accounting predecessor heretofore delivered to the Lenders for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, and for its fiscal quarter and year-to-date period ended March 31, 2014, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent, except as otherwise noted therein, in accordance with GAAP, with the Borrower’s accounting predecessor’s financial statements for the previous fiscal year. Such annual and quarterly financial statements fairly present in all material respects on a combined basis the financial position of the Borrower as of the dates thereof, and the results of operations for the periods indicated, subject in the case of interim financial statements to normal year-end audit adjustments and omission of certain footnotes (as permitted by the SEC). As of the Effective Date, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, considered as a whole, had no material contingent liabilities or material Indebtedness required under GAAP to be disclosed in a consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower that were not included in the financial statements referred to in this Section 5.8 or disclosed in the notes thereto or in writing to the Lenders unless otherwise permitted under this Agreement.

Section 5.9 No Material Adverse Change. Except for the Disclosed Matters, there has not occurred since December 31, 2013, any events, changes, developments or conditions, singly or in the aggregate, that have had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.10 Taxes. The Borrower and all other Members of the Consolidated Group have filed all material tax returns required to be filed, whether in the United States or in any foreign jurisdiction, and have paid all Taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns or on any assessments made against the Borrower or such other Members of the Consolidated Group or any of their properties, other than any such assessments, fees, charges or levies (i) that are not more than ninety (90) days past due, or which can thereafter be paid without penalty, (ii) which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which reserves have been provided in conformity with GAAP, or (iii) which the failure to pay could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.11 Consents. On the Effective Date, all material consents and approvals of, and filings and registrations with, and all other actions of, all governmental agencies, authorities or instrumentalities required to have been obtained or made by the Borrower in order for the Borrower to obtain the Revolving Loans hereunder have been or will have been obtained or made and are or will be in full force and effect.

Section 5.12 Insurance. The Borrower and all other material Members of the Consolidated Group maintain in effect, with responsible insurance companies, including captive insurance companies, or through self-insurance, insurance against any loss or damage as to all insurable property and assets owned by it and as to its operations (other than business interruption insurance) and related liabilities, which insurance is of a character and in or in excess of such amounts as are customarily maintained by companies similarly situated and owning like property or assets or conducting like operations (subject to self-insured retentions and deductibles), and insurance with respect to employers’ and public and product liability risks (subject to self-insured retentions and deductibles).

Section 5.13 Intellectual Property. The Borrower and all other Members of the Consolidated Group own or hold valid licenses to use all the patents, trademarks, permits, service marks, and trade names that are necessary to the operation of the business of the Borrower and all other Members of the Consolidated Group as presently conducted, except where the failure to own, or hold valid licenses to use, such patents, trademarks, permits, service marks, and trade names could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.14 Ownership of Property. The Borrower and all other Members of the Consolidated Group have good title to or a valid leasehold interest in all of their real property and good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all of their other property, subject to no Liens except Permitted Liens, except where the failure to have such title or leasehold interest in such property could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.15 Employee Benefit Plans.

(a) The Borrower, each other Member of the Consolidated Group and each of their respective ERISA Affiliates are in compliance with all applicable provisions and requirements of ERISA and the Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder with respect to each Plan, and have performed all their respective obligations under each Plan, except for any such non-compliance or non-performance which could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No liability to the PBGC (other than required premium payments), the IRS, any Plan or any trust established under Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be incurred by the Borrower or any other Member of the Consolidated Group or any of their ERISA Affiliates with respect to any Plan, except for any such liability which could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Plan has Unfunded Vested Liabilities which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. As of the most recent valuation date for each Multiemployer Plan, the potential liability of the Borrower and the other Members of the Consolidated Group and their respective ERISA Affiliates for a complete withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan (within the meaning of Section 4203 of ERISA), when aggregated with such potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all other Multiemployer Plans, based on information available pursuant to Section 101(l) of ERISA, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower and each other Member of the Consolidated Group and each of their ERISA Affiliates have complied with the requirements of Section 515 of ERISA with respect to each Multiemployer Plan and are not in material “default” (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA) with respect to payments to a Multiemployer Plan, except for any such non-compliance which could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) The Borrower and each other Member of the Consolidated Group are in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations with respect to each Foreign Plan, and have performed all of their respective obligations thereunder, except for any such non-compliance or non-performance which could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Without limiting the foregoing, no Foreign Plan has Unfunded Vested Liabilities that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.16 Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions. The Borrower has implemented and maintains in effect and enforces policies and procedures intended to ensure material compliance by the Borrower and all other Members of the Consolidated Group, together with their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, with Anti-Corruption Laws and all applicable Sanctions. The Borrower and all other Members of the Consolidated Group and, to the Borrower’s knowledge, their respective officers, employees, directors, representatives and agents that will act in any capacity in connection with or benefit from the credit facility established hereby, are in material compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws and all applicable Sanctions in all material respects. None of the Borrower or any other Member of the Consolidated Group nor, to the Borrower’s knowledge, any of their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives or agents that will act in any capacity in connection with or benefit from the credit facility established hereby, is a Sanctioned Person. No Borrowings or any proceeds thereof will be used directly or, to the Borrower’s knowledge, indirectly, to finance activities or business of or with any Sanctioned Person or in any Sanctioned Country, or otherwise in a manner that would result in the violation of Anti-Corruption Laws or any Sanctions applicable to any Member of the Consolidated Group or, to the Borrower’s knowledge, relevant to any of the Lenders.

Section 5.17 Compliance with Certain Laws.

(b) Second, to the payment of any due and unpaid fees to any Lender as provided by this Agreement or any other Credit Document, pro rata in the proportion in which the amount of such fees due and unpaid to each Lender bears to the aggregate amount of the fees due and unpaid to all Lenders collectively, until all such fees have been paid in full;

ARTICLE 8 CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES.

Section 8.1 Illegality.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any Note, if at any time any Change in Law shall occur that makes it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurocurrency Loans, such Lender shall promptly give written notice thereof and of the basis therefor in reasonable detail to the Borrower, and such Lender’s obligations to fund affected Eurocurrency Loans or make, continue or convert such Eurocurrency Loans under this Agreement, shall thereupon be suspended until it is no longer unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain such Eurocurrency Loans.

(b) Upon the giving of the notice to the Borrower referred to in Section 8.1(a) in respect of any such Eurocurrency Loan, and provided the Borrower shall not have prepaid such Eurocurrency Loan pursuant to Section 2.9, (i) any outstanding amount of such Eurocurrency Loan of such Lender shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan in Dollars on the last day of the Interest Period then applicable thereto or on such earlier date as required by law, and (ii) such Lender shall make or continue its portion of any requested Borrowing of such Eurocurrency Loan as a Base Rate Loan in U.S. Dollars, which Base Rate Loan shall, for all other purposes, be considered part of such Borrowing.

(c) Any Lender that has given any notice pursuant to Section 8.1(a) shall, upon determining that it would no longer be unlawful for it to make such Eurocurrency Loans, give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, and upon giving such notice, its obligation to make, allow conversions into and maintain such Eurocurrency Loans shall be reinstated.

Section 8.2 Increased Costs and Reduced Return.

(a) If any Change in Law:

(i) subjects any Lender to any Tax (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its Revolving Loans, Commitments, or other obligations under the Credit Documents, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(ii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding for any Eurocurrency Loan any such requirement included in an applicable Statutory Reserve Rate) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or imposes on any Lender or on the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting its Revolving Loans, or its obligation to advance or maintain Revolving Loans;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of advancing, continuing, converting, or maintaining any Revolving Loan, or maintaining its obligation to make any such Revolving Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender in connection therewith under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, then, subject to Section 8.2(d), from time to time, within ten (10) days after receipt of a certificate from such Lender pursuant to Section 8.2(d) setting forth in reasonable detail such determination and the basis thereof, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions suffered.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that any Change in Law affecting such Lender regarding liquidity or capital adequacy has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital, or on the capital of any Person controlling such Lender, as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or its controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy in effect immediately before such Change in Law or compliance) then, subject to Section 8.2(d), from time to time, within ten (10) days after its receipt of a certificate from such Lender pursuant to Section 8.2(d) setting forth in reasonable detail such determination and the basis thereof, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reductions suffered.

(c) If the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining any Revolving Loan to the Borrower is increased (or the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Lender is reduced) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, by reason of the fact that the Borrower is incorporated in, or conducts business in, a jurisdiction other than the United States of America, the Cayman Islands, or other Specified Jurisdictions, the Borrower shall, subject to Section 8.2(d), indemnify such Lender for such increased cost or reduction within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender. A certificate of such Lender claiming compensation under this Section 8.2(c) and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder (and the basis for the calculation of such amount or amounts) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall be entitled to compensation under this Section 8.2(c) to the extent the increased costs for which such Lender is claiming compensation have been or are being incurred at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that such Lender’s assignor was entitled immediately prior to the assignment to such Lender to receive compensation with respect to such increased costs pursuant to this Section 8.2(c). The foregoing provisions shall not apply to Taxes on payments by any Loan Party hereunder, which shall be governed solely by Section 3.3.

(d) Each Lender that determines to seek compensation or additional interest under this Section 8.2 shall give written notice to the Borrower of the circumstances that entitle such Lender to such compensation no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after such Lender receives actual notice or obtains actual knowledge of the law, rule, order or interpretation or occurrence of another event giving rise to a claim hereunder. In any event the Borrower shall not have any obligation to pay any amount with respect to claims accruing prior to the 180th day preceding such written demand, except if the law, rule, order or interpretation giving rise to such request for compensation has retroactive effect, such one hundred eighty (180) day period shall be extended to include such retroactive period. Each Lender shall use reasonable efforts to avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation, additional

interest, and any payment under Section 3.3, if such action or designation will not, in the sole judgment of such Lender made in good faith, be otherwise disadvantageous to it; provided that (i) the foregoing shall not in any way affect the rights of any Lender or the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 8.2, and (ii) no Lender shall be obligated to make its Eurocurrency Loans hereunder at any office located in the United States of America. A certificate of any Lender claiming compensation or additional interest under this Section 8.2, and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and accompanied by a statement prepared by such Lender describing in reasonable detail the calculations thereof, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

Section 8.3 Discretion of Lender as to Manner of Funding. Each Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Revolving Loans in any manner it sees fit.

ARTICLE 9 MISCELLANEOUS.

Section 9.1 No Waiver. No delay or failure on the part of any Lender, or on the part of the holder or holders of any Notes, in the exercise of any power, right or remedy under this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or any departure from the terms of this Agreement or any other Credit Document on any occasion, shall operate as a waiver thereof or as an acquiescence in any Default or Event of Default, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other power, right or remedy. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making or continuation of any Revolving Loans shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the powers, rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents of the Lenders and the holder or holders of any Notes are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any powers, rights or remedies any of them would otherwise have.

Section 9.2 Non-Business Day. Subject to Section 2.4, if any payment of principal or interest on any portion of any Revolving Loan or any other Obligation shall fall due on a day which is not a Business Day, interest or fees (as applicable) at the rate, if any, such portion of any Revolving Loan or other Obligation bears for the period prior to maturity shall continue to accrue in the manner set forth herein on such Obligation from the stated due date thereof to the next succeeding Business Day, on which the same shall instead be payable.

Section 9.3 Documentary Taxes. The Borrower agrees that it will pay any documentary, stamp, debt issuance, or similar taxes payable with respect to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents that may be levied or otherwise become payable on any Revolving Loans or this Agreement, any Note, any Subsidiary Guaranty, or any other Credit Document under the laws of any jurisdiction, including interest and penalties, in the event any such taxes are levied or assessed, irrespective of when such levy or assessment is made, other than any such taxes imposed as a result of any transfer of an interest in a Credit Document. Each Lender that determines to seek compensation under this Section 9.3 shall give written notice to the Borrower of the circumstances that entitle such Lender to such compensation no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after such Lender receives actual notice or obtains actual knowledge of the law, rule, order or interpretation or occurrence of another event giving rise to a claim hereunder. In any event, the Borrower shall not have any obligation to pay any amount with respect to claims accruing prior to the 180^th day preceding such written demand.

Section 9.4 Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties made herein or in certificates given pursuant hereto shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and shall continue in full force and effect with respect to the date as of which they were made as long as the Borrower has any Obligation hereunder or any Commitment hereunder is in effect.

Section 9.5 Survival of Indemnities. All indemnities and all provisions relative to reimbursement to the Lenders of amounts sufficient to protect the yield of the Lenders with respect to the Revolving Loans, including, but not limited to, Sections 2.11, 3.3, 7.4, 8.2, 9.3, and 9.13 hereof, shall, subject to Section 8.2(c), survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the payment of the Revolving Loans and all other Obligations and, with respect to any Lender, any replacement by the Borrower of such Lender pursuant to the terms hereof, in each case for a period of one (1) year.

Section 9.6 Setoff; Sharing of Payments.

(a) In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of, and throughout the continuance of, any Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized by the Borrower and each other Loan Party at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party or other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts, and in whatever currency denominated) and any other Indebtedness at any time owing by that Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, whether or not matured, against and on account of the due and unpaid obligations and liabilities of the Borrower or any other Loan Party to that Lender or that subsequent holder under the Credit Documents, irrespective of whether or not that Lender shall have made any demand hereunder, or the obligations are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or other obligation. Each Lender shall promptly give notice to the Borrower of any action taken by it under this Section 9.6(a), provided that any failure of such Lender to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff.

(b) Each Lender agrees with each other Lender a party hereto that if such Lender receives and retains any payment, whether by setoff or application of deposit balances or otherwise, in respect of the Revolving Loans in excess of its ratable share of payments on all such Obligations then owed to the Lenders hereunder, then such Lender shall (i) notify the other Lenders of such fact, and (ii) purchase for cash at face value, but without recourse, ratably from each of the other Lenders such amount of the Revolving Loans held by each such other Lender as shall be necessary to cause such Lender to share such excess payment ratably with all the other Lenders; provided, however, that if any such purchase is made by any Lender, and if such excess payment or part thereof is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the related purchases from the other Lenders shall be rescinded ratably and the purchase price restored as to the portion of such excess payment so recovered, but without interest. The provisions of this Section 9.6(b) shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement, or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Revolving Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 9.6(b) shall apply). Each Loan Party 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 each Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

Section 9.7 Notices.

(a) Except as otherwise specified herein, all notices under the Credit Documents shall be in writing (including facsimile or other electronic means) and shall be given to a party hereunder at its address or facsimile number set forth below or such other address or facsimile number as such party may hereafter specify by written notice to the Borrower, given by courier, by United States certified or registered mail, by telegram or by other telecommunication device capable of creating a written record of such notice and its receipt.

Section 9.9 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Borrower and each of the Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Borrower, each of the Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns, including any subsequent holder of any Note; provided, however, (i) except as provided in Section 6.10, neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document without the written consent of all Lenders, and (ii) no Lender may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document except in accordance with Section 9.10.

Section 9.10 Sales and Transfers of Borrowings and Notes; Participations.

(a) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Revolving Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or the Revolving Loans at the time owing to it that equal at least the amount specified in clause (i)(B) of this Section 9.10(a), or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in clause (i)(A) of this Section 9.10(a), the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Revolving Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Revolving Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Borrower or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment Agreement, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

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

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clause (i)(B) of this Section 9.10(a) and, in addition, the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Borrower an Assignment Agreement.

(v) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person.

Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 9.10(c).

(b) Register. The Borrower shall maintain a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Revolving Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(c) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, upon written notice to the Borrower but without the consent of the Borrower, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Revolving Loans owing to it); provided, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower and 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 Section 9.11(i) (A), (B) or (C) that directly and adversely affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.11, 3.3, and 8.2 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.3(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.3(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 9.10(a); provided, that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.3 or 8.2 with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.6 as though it were a Lender; provided, that such Participant also agrees to be subject to Section 9.6 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Revolving Loans and other Obligations under the Credit Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Revolving Loans or its other Obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Revolving Loan or other Obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such participating Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(d) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time 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; provided, that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a Party hereto.

(e) Certain Transfers. If, pursuant to this Section 9.10 any interest in this Agreement or any Revolving Loan or Note is transferred to any transferee which is (1) organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States of America or any State thereof, or (2) organized under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof and disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes

as an entity separate from a person organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States of America or any State thereof, the transferor Lender shall cause such transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, (i) to furnish to the transferor Lender and the Borrower two duly completed and signed copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities (wherein such transferee claims entitlement to complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax on all interest payments hereunder if such payments were U.S. source), (ii) to agree (for the benefit of the transferor Lender and the Borrower) to provide the transferor Lender and the Borrower new forms as contemplated by Section 3.3(f) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form and comparable statements in accordance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations and amendments duly executed and completed by such transferee, and to comply from time to time with all applicable U.S. laws and regulations with regard to such withholding tax exemption, and (iii) to represent and warrant to the transferor Lender and the Borrower that the transferee is entitled to complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under FATCA with respect to all payments to be received pursuant to any Credit Document as if such payments were U.S. source (or to furnish to the transferor Lender and the Borrower the applicable U.S. Internal Revenue Service forms certifying that the transferee is entitled to such exemption).

Section 9.11 Amendments, Waivers and Consents. Any provision of the Credit Documents may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed (a) by the Borrower and (b) by the Required Lenders, provided however, that:

(i) no amendment or waiver shall (A) increase any Commitment of any Lender without the consent of such Lender, (B) (other than in accordance with Section 2.13), postpone or extend the Commitment Termination Date or Maturity Date without the consent of all Lenders, (C) reduce the amount of or postpone the date for any scheduled payment of any principal of or interest (including, without limitation, any reduction in the rate of interest unless such reduction is otherwise provided herein) on any Revolving Loan or of any fee payable hereunder, without the consent of each Lender owed any such Obligation, or (D) except as otherwise expressly permitted under this Agreement, release all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors from their obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranties without the consent of all Lenders; and

(ii) no amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by each Lender, change the provisions of this Section 9.11 or the definition of Required Lenders or the number of Lenders required to take any action under any other provision of the Credit Documents, or any provision providing for the pro rata nature of payments by or to Lenders.

Section 9.13 Legal Fees and Other Costs; Indemnification; Damages Waiver.

(a) The Borrower, upon demand by any Lender, agrees to pay the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the such Lender (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of legal counsel to such Lender) in connection with the preparation and execution of the Credit Documents (limited to a single law firm as counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction (and which may include a special or local counsel acting in one or more jurisdictions) and such other counsel as may be engaged with the Borrower’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)), and any amendment, waiver or consent related thereto (including in respect of any workout or restructuring in respect of the Revolving Loans), whether or not the transactions contemplated herein or therein are consummated.

(b) The Borrower further agrees to indemnify each Lender and their respective Related Parties (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), against all losses, claims, damages, penalties, judgments, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of litigation or preparation therefor, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto) which any of them may pay or incur as a result of (a) any action, suit or proceeding by any third party or Governmental Authority against such Indemnified Party and relating to any Credit Document, the Revolving Loans, or the application or proposed application by the Borrower or any other Member of the Consolidated Group of the proceeds of any Revolving Loan, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH CLAIMS OR ACTIONS ARE FOUNDED IN WHOLE OR IN PART UPON THE ALLEGED SIMPLE OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE OF ANY OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES AND/OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES OR ATTORNEYS, (b) any investigation of any third party or any Governmental Authority involving any Lender (as a lender hereunder), and related to any use made or proposed to be made by the Borrower of the proceeds of any Revolving Loan or any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly with the proceeds of any Revolving Loan, and (c) any investigation of any third party or any Governmental Authority, litigation or proceeding involving any Lender (as a lender hereunder) and related to any environmental cleanup, audit, compliance or other matter relating to any Environmental Law or the presence of any Hazardous Material (including, without limitation, any losses, liabilities, damages, injuries, costs, expenses or claims asserted or arising under any Environmental Law) with respect to the Borrower or any other Member of the Consolidated Group, regardless of whether caused by, or within the control of, the Borrower or any other Member of the Consolidated Group; provided, however, that (x) the Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party for any of the foregoing arising out of such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, or willful or unlawful misconduct, or material breach of its express contractual obligations under this Agreement, as determined pursuant to a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or as expressly agreed in writing by such Indemnified Party, (y) the Borrower’s obligations to pay or reimburse the Indemnified Parties for legal fees and expenses shall be limited to (1) the reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses of a single law firm as counsel for all such Indemnified Parties, taken together, in each appropriate jurisdiction (which may include in each case another law firm as special or local counsel acting in one or more of multiple jurisdictions), except that in the case where an Indemnified Party determines in good faith that a conflict of interest does or may exist in connection with such legal representation and such Indemnified Party advises the Borrower of such actual or potential conflict of interest and engages its own separate counsel, the reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall also be paid or reimbursed, and (2) other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (other than legal fees and expenses as described in clause (1) above) incurred in investigating or defending any of the foregoing, and (z) the Borrower shall not be liable pursuant to this Section 9.13(b) for any amounts claimed in respect of litigation, investigations, proceedings or claims solely between Indemnified Parties in respect of actions or omissions of any Indemnified Parties and not arising out of any acts or omissions of the Borrower or its affiliates. The Borrower, upon demand by any Lender at any time, shall reimburse such Lender for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending against any of the foregoing, except if the same is excluded from indemnification pursuant to the provisions of the preceding sentence. Each Indemnified Party agrees to contest any indemnified claim if requested by the Borrower, in a manner reasonably directed by the Borrower, with counsel selected by the Indemnified Party and approved by the Borrower, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any Indemnified Party that proposes or intends to settle

or compromise any such indemnified claim shall give the Borrower written notice of the terms of such settlement or compromise reasonably in advance of settling or compromising such claim or proceeding and shall obtain the Borrower’s prior written consent thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall not be restricted from settling or compromising any such claim if the Indemnified Party waives its right to indemnity from the Borrower in respect of such claim and such settlement or compromise does not materially increase the Borrower’s liability pursuant to this Section 9.13(b) to any Related Party of such Indemnified Party.

(c) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Indemnified Party and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnified Party, the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan, or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnified Party referred to in Section 9.13(b) shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(d) Each party’s obligations under this Section 9.13, together with its obligations (if any) pursuant to Section 3.3(d) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents and the payment of the Obligations owing hereunder and thereunder.

Section 9.15 Confidentiality. Each of the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to their respective Affiliates and to existing and prospective Lenders, Participants and counterparties to any hedge agreement or swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower’s Obligations, and in each case to their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors who have reason to use such Information in connection with the evaluation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (subject to similar confidentiality provisions as provided herein) solely for purposes of evaluating such Information, (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable law or regulation or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any proceedings relating to this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, (e) with the consent of the Borrower, (f) to any rating agency or insurer or the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to this Agreement, in each case when required by it, provided that, prior to any disclosure, such agency or insurer shall acknowledge in writing the confidential nature of such Information received by it from any Lender, or (g) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.15, or (ii) becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or its Affiliates, or the Lenders or their respective Affiliates, excluding any Information from such source which, to the actual knowledge of the Lender receiving such Information, has been disclosed by such source in violation of a duty of confidentiality to the Borrower. For purposes hereof, “Information” means all information received by the Lenders from the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates relating to Members of the Consolidated Group or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Lenders on a non-confidential basis prior to such receipt by the Lenders, excluding any Information from a source which, to the actual knowledge of the Lender receiving such Information, has been disclosed by such source in violation of a duty of confidentiality to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates. Each Lender shall be considered to have complied with its obligations if it has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as it would accord its own confidential information.

Section 9.16 Effect of Inclusion of Exceptions. It is not intended that the specification of any exception to any covenant herein shall imply that the excepted matter would, but for such exception, be prohibited or required.

Section 9.17 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.18 Change in Tax Laws. If there is a material change in federal, state or foreign tax laws which materially affects the ability of any of the Borrower and other Members of the Consolidated Group to comply with the financial covenants, standards or terms found in this Agreement, the Borrower and the Lenders agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions (with the agreement of the Required Lenders or, if required by Section 9.11, all of the Lenders) so as to equitably reflect such changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the financial condition of any of the Borrower and other Members of the Consolidated Group shall be the same after such changes as if such changes had not been made. Unless and until such provisions have been so amended, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

Section 9.19 Final Agreement. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents constitute the entire understanding among the Loan Parties and the Lenders and supersede all earlier or contemporaneous agreements, whether written or oral, concerning the subject matter of the Credit Documents. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.

Section 9.20 Officer’s Certificates. It is not intended that any certificate of any officer or director of the Borrower delivered to any Lender pursuant to this Agreement shall give rise to any personal liability on the part of such officer or director.

Section 9.21 No Fiduciary Duty. Each Lender and its affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lender Parties”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees that nothing in the Credit Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any of the Lender Parties and the Borrower or their respective shareholders or Affiliates. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lender Parties, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction, each of the Lender Parties is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or its management, unitholders, stockholders, creditors or any other Person, (iii) no Lender Party has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower or any other Loan Party with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender Party or any of its Affiliates has advised or is currently advising the Borrower or any other Loan Party on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrower or any other Loan Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Credit Documents and (iv) the Borrower has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate. The Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. The Borrower agrees that it will not claim that any Lender Party has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Borrower or any other Loan Party in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.
