(c) The Borrower shall, in accordance with subsection 3.4(d), prepay the Term Loans to the extent required by subsection 7.5(a)(iii)(B) (subject to subsection 7.5(b)).

(d) Prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to subsection 3.4(b) or (c) shall be applied pro rata between the Term A Loans and Term B Loans and, with respect to each of the Term A Loans and Term B Loans, pro rata to the respective installments of principal thereof; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, any such payment may, at the option of the Borrower, be (x) first allocated to the Term A Loans and the Term B Loans pro rata based upon the aggregate amount of the installments thereof due in the next twelve months and then applied, at the option of the Borrower, against any of such installments of the Term A Loans or Term B Loans, as the case may be, and (y) thereafter the remainder of such prepayment shall be allocated and applied as provided above.

(e) The Borrower shall give notice to the Administrative Agent of any mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans (x) pursuant to subsection 3.4(b), ten Business Days prior to the date on which such payment is due and (y) pursuant to subsection 3.4(c), promptly upon becoming obligated to make such prepayment. Such notice shall state that the Borrower is offering to make such mandatory prepayment on a date that is ten Business Days after the date of such notice (the “Prepayment Date”). Once given, such notice shall be irrevocable and all amounts subject to such notice shall be due and payable on the Prepayment Date as required by subsection 3.4(d) (except as otherwise provided in clause (y) of the last sentence of this subsection 3.4(e)). Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall immediately give notice to each Lender of the prepayment and the Prepayment Date. Each Lender may (in its sole discretion) elect to decline any such prepayment by giving notice of such election in writing to the Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m. on the date that is three Business Days prior to the Prepayment Date. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of such

notice, the Administrative Agent shall immediately notify the Borrower of such election. Any amount so declined by any Lender shall, at the option of the Borrower, either (x) be applied to prepay the Term Loans of Lenders not declining such prepayment, in the manner described in subsection 3.4(d), or (y) be applied by the Borrower in any manner not inconsistent with subsection 7.5(a)(iii).

(f) Amounts prepaid on account of Term Loans pursuant to subsection 3.4(a), (b) or (c) may not be reborrowed.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection 3.4, if at any time any prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to subsection 3.4(a), (b) or (c) would result, after giving effect to the procedures set forth in this Agreement, in the Borrower incurring breakage costs under subsection 3.12 as a result of Eurocurrency Loans being prepaid other than on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, then, the Borrower may, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in its sole discretion, initially deposit a portion (up to 100%) of the amounts that otherwise would have been paid in respect of such Eurocurrency Loans with the Administrative Agent (which deposit must be equal in amount to the amount of such Eurocurrency Loans not immediately prepaid), to be held as security for the obligations of the Borrower to make such prepayment pursuant to a cash collateral agreement to be entered into on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent with such cash collateral to be directly applied upon the first occurrence thereafter of the last day of an Interest Period with respect to such Eurocurrency Loans (or such earlier date or dates as shall be requested by the Borrower); provided that, such unpaid Eurocurrency Loans shall continue to bear interest in accordance with subsection 3.1 until such unpaid Eurocurrency Loans or the related portion of such Eurocurrency Loans have or has been prepaid.

3.5 Administrative Agent’s Fee; Other Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Other Representatives any fees in the amounts and on the dates previously agreed to in writing by Investor, the Other Representatives and the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement.

3.6 Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest (other than interest based on the Prime Rate) shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed; and commitment fees and interest based on the Prime Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-day year, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the affected Lenders of each determination of a Eurocurrency Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the affected Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

(b) Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower or any Lender, deliver to the Borrower or such Lender a statement showing in reasonable detail the calculations used by the

Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to subsection 3.1, excluding any Eurocurrency Base Rate which is based upon the Telerate British Bankers Assoc. Interest Settlement Rates Page and any ABR Loan which is based upon the Prime Rate.

3.7 Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurocurrency Rate with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan (the “Affected Rate”) for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (a) any Eurocurrency Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based on the Affected Rate requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans and (b) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to or continued as Eurocurrency Loans the rate of interest applicable to which is based upon the Affected Rate shall be converted to or continued as ABR Loans.

3.8 Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on any Term Loans shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans then held by the respective Lenders. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees, or otherwise, shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders at the Administrative Agent’s office specified in subsection 10.2, and shall be made in Dollars and in immediately available funds. Payments received by the Administrative Agent after such time shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to such Lenders, if any such payment is received prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on a Business Day, in like funds as received prior to the end of such Business Day and otherwise the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to such Lenders on the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurocurrency Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment on a Eurocurrency Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity of such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day (and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension) unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to such Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such

assumption, make available to the Borrower in respect of such borrowing a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate as quoted by the Administrative Agent, or another bank of recognized standing reasonably selected by the Administrative Agent, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this subsection shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of such Borrowing Date, (x) the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of the failure of such Lender to make such amount available to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans hereunder on demand, from the Borrower and (y) then the Borrower may, without waiving or limiting any rights or remedies it may have against such Lender hereunder or under applicable law or otherwise, borrow a like amount on an unsecured basis from any commercial bank for a period ending on the date upon which such Lender does in fact make such borrowing available.

3.9 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof occurring after the Closing Date shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurocurrency Loans as contemplated by this Agreement (“Affected Loans”), (a) such Lender shall promptly give written notice of such circumstances to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be withdrawn whenever such circumstances no longer exist), (b) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Affected Loans, continue Affected Loans as such and convert an ABR Loan to an Affected Loan shall forthwith be cancelled and, until such time as it shall no longer be unlawful for such Lender to make or maintain such Affected Loans, such Lender shall then have a commitment only to make an ABR Loan when an Affected Loan is requested and (c) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Affected Loans, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of an Affected Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to subsection 3.12.

3.10 Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof applicable to any Lender, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, in each case made subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if later, the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender):

(i) shall subject such Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to any Eurocurrency Loan made or maintained by it or its obligation to make or maintain Eurocurrency Loans, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof in each case, except for Non-Excluded

Taxes and taxes measured by or imposed upon the overall net income, or franchise taxes, or taxes measured by or imposed upon overall capital or net worth, or branch taxes (in the case of such capital, net worth or branch taxes, imposed in lieu of such net income tax), of such Lender or its applicable lending office, branch, or any affiliate thereof;

(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurocurrency Rate hereunder; or

(iii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition (excluding any tax of any kind whatsoever);

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurocurrency Loans or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, upon notice to the Borrower from such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, in accordance herewith, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable with respect to such Eurocurrency Loans, provided that, in any such case, the Borrower may elect to convert the Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender hereunder to ABR Loans by giving the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day’s notice of such election, in which case the Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon demand, without duplication, amounts theretofore required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to this subsection 3.10(a) and such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to subsection 3.12. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, it shall provide prompt notice thereof to the Borrower, through the Administrative Agent, certifying (x) that one of the events described in this paragraph (a) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the increased cost or reduced amount resulting from such event and (z) as to the additional amount demanded by such Lender and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof. Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(b) If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority, in each case, made subsequent to the Closing Date, does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such

corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, within ten Business Days after submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor certifying (x) that one of the events described in this paragraph (b) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the reduction of the rate of return on capital resulting from such event and (z) as to the additional amount or amounts demanded by such Lender or corporation and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or corporation for such reduction. Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection 3.10, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount with respect to any additional cost or reduction specified in paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) above, to the extent such additional cost or reduction is attributable, directly or indirectly, to the application of, compliance with or implementation of specific capital adequacy requirements or new methods of calculating capital adequacy, including any part or “pillar” (including Pillar 2 (“Supervisory Review Process”)), of the International Convergence of Capital Measurement Standards: a Revised Framework, published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in June 2004, or any implementation, adoption (whether voluntary or compulsory) thereof, whether by an EC Directive or the FSA Integrated Prudential Sourcebook or any other law or regulation, or otherwise.

3.11 Taxes. (a) Except as provided below in this subsection or as required by law, all payments made by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and any Term Loan Notes shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes; provided that if any Non-Excluded Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to any Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any Term Loan Notes, the amounts so payable by the Borrower shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement; provided, however, that the Borrower shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, and the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify for any Non-Excluded Taxes, and any such amounts payable by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to or for the account of any Agent or Lender, shall not be increased (x) if such Agent or Lender fails to comply with the requirements of paragraphs (b) or (c) of this subsection 3.11, or (y) with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes imposed in connection with the payment of any fees paid under this Agreement unless such Non-Excluded Taxes are imposed as a result of a Change in Law, or (z) with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof, unless such Non-Excluded Taxes are imposed as a result of a change in treaty, law or regulation that occurred after such Agent became an Agent hereunder or such Lender became a Lender hereunder (or, if such Agent or Lender is a non-U.S. intermediary or flow-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, after the relevant beneficiary or

member of such Agent or Lender became such a beneficiary or member, if later) (any such change, at such time, a “Change in Law”). Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Agents for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this subsection 3.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(b) Each Agent and each Lender, in each case that is not a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall:

(X)

(i) on or before the date of any payment by the Borrower under this Agreement or any Term Loan Notes to, or for the account of, such Agent or Lender, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (A) two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (certifying that it is a resident of the applicable country within the meaning of the income tax treaty between the United States and that country) or Form W-8ECI, or successor applicable form, as the case may be, in each case certifying that it is entitled to receive all payments under this Agreement and any Term Loan Notes without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, and (B) such other forms, documentation or certifications, as the case may be, certifying that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Term Loan Notes;

(ii) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two further copies of any such form or certification on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certificate previously delivered by it to the Borrower; and

(iii) obtain such extensions of time for filing and completing such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent; or

(Y) in the case of any such Lender that is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and is claiming the so-called “portfolio interest exemption”,

(i) represent to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not a bank within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code;

(ii) deliver to the Borrower on or before the date of any payment by the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, (A) two certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit E (any such certificate a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (B) two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or successor applicable form, certifying to such Lender’s legal entitlement at the date of such form to an exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the provisions of Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and any Term Loan Notes (and shall also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two further copies of such form or certificate on or before the date it expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recently provided form or certificate and, if necessary, obtain any extensions of time reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent for filing and completing such forms or certificates); and

(iii) deliver, to the extent legally entitled to do so, upon reasonable request by the Borrower, to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such other forms as may be reasonably required in order to establish the legal entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from withholding with respect to payments under this Agreement and any Term Loan Notes, provided that in determining the reasonableness of a request under this clause (ii) such Lender shall be entitled to consider the cost (to the extent unreimbursed by the Borrower) which would be imposed on such Lender of complying with such request; or

(Z) in the case of any such Agent or Lender that is a non-U.S. intermediary or flow-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes,

(i) on or before the date of any payment by the Borrower under this Agreement or any Term Loan Notes to, or for the account of, such Agent or Lender, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and, if any beneficiary or member of such Lender is claiming the so-called “portfolio interest exemption”, (I) represent to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that such Lender is not a bank within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, and (II) also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two U.S. Tax Compliance Certificates certifying to such Lender’s legal entitlement at the date of such certificate to an exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the provisions of Section 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and any Term Loan Notes; and

(A) with respect to each beneficiary or member of such Agent or Lender that is not claiming the so-called “portfolio interest exemption”, also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (I) two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (certifying that such beneficiary or member is a resident of the applicable country within the meaning of the income tax treaty between the United States and that country), Form W-8ECI or Form W-9, or successor applicable form, as the case may be, in each case so that each such beneficiary or member is entitled to receive all payments under this Agreement and any Term Loan Notes without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes and (II) such other forms, documentation or certifications, as the case may be, certifying that each such beneficiary or member is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax with respect to all payments under this Agreement and any Term Loan Notes; and

(B) with respect to each beneficiary or member of such Lender that is claiming the so-called “portfolio interest exemption”, (I) represent to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that such beneficiary or member is not a bank within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, and (II) also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two U.S. Tax Compliance Certificates from each beneficiary or member and two accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or successor applicable form, certifying to such beneficiary’s or member’s legal entitlement at the date of such certificate to an exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the provisions of Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and any Term Loan Notes;

(ii) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two further copies of any such forms, certificates or certifications referred to above on or before the date any such form, certificate or certification expires or becomes obsolete, or any beneficiary or member changes, and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recently provided form, certificate or certification and obtain such extensions of time reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent for filing and completing such forms, certificates or certifications; and

any Term Loan Notes, provided that in determining the reasonableness of a request under this clause (iii) such Agent or Lender shall be entitled to consider the cost (to the extent unreimbursed by the Borrower) which would be imposed on such Agent or Lender (or beneficiary or member) of complying with such request;

unless in any such case there has been a Change in Law which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Agent or such Lender (or such beneficiary or member) from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Agent or such Lender so advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(c) Each Lender and each Agent, in each case that is a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall, on or before the date of any payment by the Borrower under this Agreement or any Term Loan Notes to such Lender or Agent, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or successor form, certifying that such Lender or Agent is a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) and that such Lender or Agent is entitled to a complete exemption from United States backup withholding tax.

3.12 Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each such Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur (other than through such Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment or conversion of Eurocurrency Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a payment or prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans or the conversion of Eurocurrency Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or converted, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or conversion or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of the applicable Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Eurocurrency Loans, as applicable, provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurocurrency market. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any amounts under the indemnity contained in this subsection 3.12, it shall provide prompt notice thereof to the Borrower, through the Administrative Agent, certifying (x) that one of the events described in clause (a), (b) or (c) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the loss or expense sustained or incurred by such Lender as a consequence thereof and (z) as to the amount for which such Lender seeks indemnification hereunder and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof. Such a certificate as to any indemnification pursuant to this subsection submitted by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the

Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

3.13 Certain Rules Relating to the Payment of Additional Amounts. (a) Upon the request, and at the expense of the Borrower, each Lender to which the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount pursuant to subsection 3.10 or 3.11, and any Participant in respect of whose participation such payment is required, shall reasonably afford the Borrower the opportunity to contest, and reasonably cooperate with the Borrower in contesting, the imposition of any Non-Excluded Tax giving rise to such payment; provided that (i) such Lender shall not be required to afford the Borrower the opportunity to so contest unless the Borrower shall have confirmed in writing to such Lender its obligation to pay such amounts pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the Borrower shall reimburse such Lender for its reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements incurred in so cooperating with the Borrower in contesting the imposition of such Non-Excluded Tax; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing no Lender shall be required to afford the Borrower the opportunity to contest, or cooperate with the Borrower in contesting, the imposition of any Non-Excluded Taxes, if such Lender in its sole discretion in good faith determines that to do so would have an adverse effect on it.

(b) If a Lender changes its applicable lending office (other than (i) pursuant to paragraph (c) below or (ii) after an Event of Default under subsection 8(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing) and the effect of such change, as of the date of such change, would be to cause the Borrower to become obligated to pay any additional amount under subsection 3.10 or 3.11, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such additional amount.

(c) If a condition or an event occurs which would, or would upon the passage of time or giving of notice, result in the payment of any additional amount to any Lender by the Borrower pursuant to subsection 3.10 or 3.11, such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and shall take such steps as may reasonably be available to it to mitigate the effects of such condition or event (which shall include efforts to rebook the Loans held by such Lender at another lending office, or through another branch or an affiliate, of such Lender); provided that such Lender shall not be required to take any step that, in its reasonable judgment, would be materially disadvantageous to its business or operations or would require it to incur additional costs (unless the Borrower agrees to reimburse such Lender for the reasonable incremental out-of-pocket costs thereof).

(d) If the Borrower shall become obligated to pay additional amounts pursuant to subsection 3.10 or 3.11 and any affected Lender shall not have promptly taken steps necessary to avoid the need for payments under subsection 3.10 or 3.11, the Borrower shall have the right, for so long as such obligation remains, (i) with the assistance of the Administrative Agent, to seek one or more substitute Lenders reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to purchase the affected Loan, in whole or in part, at an aggregate price no less than such Loan’s principal amount plus accrued interest, and assume the affected obligations under this

Agreement, or (ii) so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists or will exist immediately after giving effect to the respective prepayment, upon at least four Business Days’ irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, to prepay the affected Loan, in whole or in part, subject to subsection 3.12, without premium or penalty. In the case of the substitution of a Lender, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the affected Lender, and any substitute Lender shall execute and deliver an appropriately completed Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to subsection 10.6(b) to effect the assignment of rights to, and the assumption of obligations by, the substitute Lender; provided that any fees required to be paid by subsection 10.6(b) in connection with such assignment shall be paid by the Borrower or the substitute Lender. In the case of a prepayment of an affected Loan, the amount specified in the notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with any accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. In the case of each of the substitution of a Lender and of the prepayment of an affected Loan, the Borrower shall first pay the affected Lender any additional amounts owing under subsections 3.10 and 3.11 (as well as any commitment fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender, including any amounts under subsection 3.13) prior to such substitution or prepayment.

(e) If any Agent or any Lender receives a refund directly attributable to taxes for which the Borrower has made additional payments pursuant to subsection 3.10(a) or 3.11(a), such Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall promptly pay such refund (together with any interest with respect thereto received from the relevant taxing authority, but net of any reasonable cost incurred in connection therewith) to the Borrower; provided, however, that the Borrower agrees promptly to return such refund (together with any interest with respect thereto due to the relevant taxing authority) (free of all Non-Excluded Taxes) to such Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, upon receipt of a notice that such refund is required to be repaid to the relevant taxing authority.

SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. To induce the Administrative Agent and each Lender to make the Extensions of Credit requested to be made by it on the Closing Date, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants, on the Closing Date, after giving effect to the Transactions, to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that:

4.1 Financial Condition. (a) The audited consolidated balance sheets of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2005 and the consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2003, September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2005, reported on by and accompanied by unqualified reports from KPMG LLP, present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial condition as at such date, and the consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows for the respective fiscal years then ended, of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries. All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the

periods covered thereby (except as approved by a Responsible Officer, and disclosed in any such schedules and notes, and subject to the omission of footnotes from such unaudited financial statements). During the period from December 31, 2005 to and including the Closing Date, except as provided in or permitted under the Investment Agreement or in connection with the Transactions, there has been no sale, transfer or other disposition by the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries of any material part of the business or property of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries taken as a whole, and no purchase or other acquisition by any of them of any business or property (including any Capital Stock of any other Person) material in relation to the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, in each case, which is not reflected in the foregoing financial statements or in the notes thereto and has not otherwise been disclosed in writing to the Lenders on or prior to the Closing Date.

(b) The pro forma balance sheet and statements of operations of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries (the “Pro Forma Financial Statements”), copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, are the balance sheet and statements of operations of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2006 (the “Pro Forma Date”), adjusted to give effect (as if such events had occurred on such date for purposes of the balance sheet and on October 1, 2004 for purposes of the statement of operations), to the consummation of the Transactions, and the Extensions of Credit hereunder on the Closing Date.

4.2 No Change; Solvent. Except (x) as contemplated or permitted by the Investment Agreement (including as set forth in any filing by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ with the SEC or in any financial statements of the Borrower) or (y) for changes resulting from the announcement of the Investment Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby or hereby, from December 31, 2005 through the Closing Date, there has not been any event, change, circumstance or development (including any damage, destruction or loss whether or not covered by insurance) which, individually or in the aggregate, has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Investment Agreement) on the Borrower. Since December 31, 2005, except (x) as contemplated or permitted by the Investment Agreement on or prior to the Closing Date, (y) in connection with the Transactions or (z) as otherwise permitted under this Agreement and each other Loan Document, no dividends or other distributions have been declared, paid or made upon the Capital Stock of the Borrower, nor has any of the Capital Stock of the Borrower been redeemed, retired, purchased or otherwise acquired for value by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

Each of the Loan Parties (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation, (b) has the corporate or other organizational power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, except to the extent that the failure to have such legal right would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or a limited liability company and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of

its business requires such qualification, other than in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified and in good standing would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law, except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith would not, in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.4 Corporate Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the corporate or other organizational power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to obtain Extensions of Credit hereunder, and each such Loan Party has taken all necessary corporate or other organizational action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the Extensions of Credit to it, if any, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any Term Loan Notes. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other similar act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required to be obtained or made by or on behalf of any Loan Party in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents to which it is a party or, in the case of the Borrower, with the Extensions of Credit to it, if any, hereunder, except for (a) consents, authorizations, notices and filings described in Schedule 4.4, all of which have been obtained or made prior to the Closing Date, (b) filings to perfect the Liens created by the Security Documents, (c) filings pursuant to the Assignment of Claims Act of 1940, as amended (31 U.S.C. § 3727 et seq.), in respect of Accounts of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries the Obligor in respect of which is the United States of America or any department, agency or instrumentality thereof and (d) consents, authorizations, notices and filings which the failure to obtain or make would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower, and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is a party will be duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Loan Party. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is a party when executed and delivered will constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable domestic or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).

4.5 No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by any of the Loan Parties, the Extensions of Credit hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof (a) will not violate any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of such Loan Party in any respect that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (b) will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on any of its properties or revenues pursuant to any such Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation.

Except as provided on Schedule 4.9, no claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any such Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property, nor does the Borrower know of any such claim, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, the use of such Intellectual Property by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any Person, except for such claims and infringements which in the aggregate, would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) With respect to any Domestic Subsidiary (other than a Special Purpose Subsidiary or a Subsidiary of a Foreign Subsidiary) created or acquired (including by reason of any Foreign Subsidiary Holdco ceasing to constitute same) subsequent to the Closing Date by the Borrower or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries (other than any Special Purpose Subsidiary or any Subsidiary of a Foreign Subsidiary), promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, if the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders so request, promptly (i) execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders such amendments to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably deem necessary or reasonably advisable to grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a perfected first priority security interest (or second priority security interest in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) (as and to the extent provided in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) in the Capital Stock of such new Domestic Subsidiary, (ii) deliver to the Collateral Agent the certificates (if any) representing such Capital Stock, together with undated stock powers, executed and delivered in blank by a duly authorized officer of the parent of such new Domestic Subsidiary and (iii) cause such new Domestic Subsidiary (A) to become a party to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and (B) to take all actions reasonably deemed by the Collateral Agent to be necessary or advisable to cause the Lien created by the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement in such new Domestic Subsidiary’s Collateral to be duly perfected in accordance with all applicable Requirements of Law, including the filing of financing statements in such jurisdictions as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent.

(c) (x) With respect to any Foreign Subsidiary or Unrestricted Subsidiary created or acquired subsequent to the Closing Date by the Borrower or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries (other than any Special Purpose Subsidiary or any Subsidiary of a Foreign Subsidiary), the Capital Stock of which is owned directly by the Borrower or a Domestic Subsidiary (other than a Special Purpose Subsidiary or a Subsidiary of a Foreign Subsidiary), promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and if the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders so request (it being understood that if the Administrative Agent does not so request with respect to any such Foreign Subsidiary or Unrestricted Subsidiary that it believes is or is likely to become material to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, it will provide notice to the Lenders thereof), promptly (i) execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent a new pledge agreement or such amendments to the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably deem necessary or reasonably advisable to grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a perfected first priority security interest (or second priority security interest in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) (as and to the extent provided in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) in the Capital Stock of such new Foreign Subsidiary or Unrestricted Subsidiary that is directly owned by the Borrower or any of its Domestic Subsidiaries (other than any Special Purpose Subsidiary or any Subsidiary of a Foreign Subsidiary) (provided that in no event shall more than 65% of the Capital Stock of any such new Foreign Subsidiary be required to be so pledged and, provided, further, that no such pledge or security shall be required with respect to any non-wholly owned Foreign Subsidiary or Unrestricted Subsidiary to the extent that the grant of such pledge or security interest would violate the terms of any agreements under which the Investment by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries was

made therein) and (ii) to the extent reasonably deemed advisable by the Collateral Agent, deliver to the Collateral Agent the certificates, if any, representing such Capital Stock, together with undated stock powers, executed and delivered in blank by a duly authorized officer of the relevant parent of such new Foreign Subsidiary or Unrestricted Subsidiary and take such other action as may be reasonably deemed by the Collateral Agent to be necessary or desirable to perfect the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein.

(d) At its own expense, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause the execution, acknowledgement and delivery of, and thereafter register, file or record in an appropriate governmental office, any document or instrument reasonably deemed by the Collateral Agent to be necessary or desirable for the creation, perfection and priority and the continuation of the validity, perfection and priority of the foregoing Liens or any other Liens created pursuant to the Security Documents.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this subsection 6.9 shall require that any Loan Party ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇ ▇▇▇▇ with respect to any owned real property or fixtures in which such Subsidiary acquires ownership rights to the extent that the Administrative Agent, in its reasonable judgment, determines that the granting of such a Lien is impracticable.

6.10 Surveys. Within a reasonable period following the Closing Date, with respect to those Mortgaged Properties set forth on Schedule 4.8 for which the title policies delivered pursuant to subsection 5.1(k) contain the standard “survey exception”, obtain surveys in such form as is sufficient to obtain from the respective title companies endorsements which have the effect of deleting such exceptions.

6.11 Interest Rate Protection. No later than 180 days following the Closing Date, enter into Interest Rate Protection Agreements, which, together with the fixed interest rates then applicable to the Consolidated Funded Indebtedness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, shall provide interest rate protection in respect of at least 50% of the Consolidated Funded Indebtedness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. Such Interest Rate Protection Agreements shall be in form and substance, and for a term (not to exceed two years), reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, which term may be longer than two years if so determined by the Borrower.

6.12 Post-Closing Security Perfection. The Borrower agrees to deliver or cause to be delivered such documents and instruments, and take or cause to be taken such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to provide the perfected security interests and guarantees described in subsection 5.1(a) that are not so provided on the Closing Date and to satisfy each other condition precedent that was not actually satisfied, but rather “deemed” satisfied on the Closing Date pursuant to the provisions set forth in subsection 5.1, and in any event to provide such perfected security interests and guarantees and to satisfy such other conditions within the applicable time periods set forth on Schedule 6.12, as such time periods may be extended by the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion.

(i) the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration (including by way of relief from, or by any other Person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise) at the time of such Asset Disposition at least equal to the fair market value of the shares and assets subject to such Asset Disposition, as such fair market value may be determined (and shall be determined, to the extent such Asset Disposition or any series of related Asset Dispositions involves aggregate consideration in excess of $22.5 million) in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive (including as to the value of all non-cash consideration),

(ii) in the case of any Asset Disposition (or series of related Asset Dispositions) having a fair market value of $15.0 million or more, at least 75% of the consideration therefor (excluding, in the case of an Asset Disposition (or series of related Asset Dispositions), any consideration by way of relief from, or by any other Person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise, that are not Indebtedness) received by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash, and

(iii) an amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Cash from such Asset Disposition is applied by the Borrower (or any Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) as follows:

(A) first, either (x) to the extent the Borrower is required by the terms of the ABL Facility, to prepay or repay Indebtedness under the ABL Facility or (in the case of letters of credit, bankers’ acceptances or other similar instruments) cash collateralize any such Indebtedness or (y) to the extent the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary elects, to reinvest in the business of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (including any investment in Additional Assets by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary) within 365 days from the later of the date of such Asset Disposition and the date of receipt of such Net Available Cash (or, if such reinvestment is in a project authorized by the Board of Directors that will take longer than such 365 days to complete, the period of time necessary to complete such project),

(B) second, to the extent of the balance of such Net Available Cash after application in accordance with clause (A) above (such balance, the “Excess Proceeds”), toward the prepayment of the Term Loans in accordance with subsection 3.4(c) (and subject to the proviso in paragraph (d) thereof); and

(C) third, to the extent of the balance of such Net Available Cash after application in accordance with clauses (A) and (B) above (including without limitation an amount equal to the amount of any prepayment otherwise contemplated by clause (B) above in connection with such Asset Disposition that is declined by any Lender), to fund (to the extent consistent with any other applicable provision of this Agreement) any general corporate purpose (including but not limited to the repurchase, repayment or other acquisition or retirement of any Notes).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this covenant, the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall not be required to apply any Net Available Cash or equivalent amount in accordance with this covenant except to the extent that the aggregate Net Available Cash from all Asset Dispositions or equivalent amount that is not applied in accordance with this covenant exceeds $50.0 million.

(c) For the purposes of subsection 7.5(a)(ii) above, the following are deemed to be cash: (1) Temporary Cash Investments and Cash Equivalents, (2) the assumption of Indebtedness of the Borrower (other than Disqualified Stock of the Borrower) or any Restricted Subsidiary and the release of the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary from all liability on payment of the principal amount of such Indebtedness in connection with such Asset Disposition, (3) Indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary that is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such Asset Disposition, to the extent that the Borrower and each other Restricted Subsidiary are released from any Guarantee of payment of the principal amount of such Indebtedness in connection with such Asset Disposition, (4) securities received by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary from the transferee that are converted by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days, (5) consideration consisting of Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary, (6) Additional Assets and (7) any Designated Noncash Consideration received by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in an Asset Disposition having an aggregate Fair Market Value, taken together with all other Designated Noncash Consideration received pursuant to this clause, not to exceed an aggregate amount at any time outstanding equal to the greater of $45.0 million and 5.25% of Consolidated Tangible Assets (with the Fair Market Value of each item of Designated Noncash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value).

7.6 Limitation on Dividends and Other Restricted Payments.

(a) The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, to (i) declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution on or in respect of its Capital Stock (including any such payment in connection with any merger or consolidation to which the Borrower is a party) except (x) dividends or distributions payable solely in its Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) and (y) dividends or distributions payable to the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary (and, in the case of any such Restricted Subsidiary making such dividend or distribution, to other holders of its Capital Stock on no more than a pro rata basis,

(D) in the case of any disposition or repayment of any Investment constituting a Restricted Payment (without duplication of any amount deducted in calculating the amount of Investments at any time outstanding included in the amount of Restricted Payments), an amount in the aggregate equal to the lesser of the return of capital, repayment or other proceeds with respect to all such Investments received by the Borrower or a Restricted Subsidiary and the initial amount of all such Investments constituting Restricted Payments.

7.9 Limitation on Optional Payments and Modifications of Debt Instruments and Other Documents.

(g) pursuant to an agreement or instrument (i) relating to any Indebtedness permitted to be Incurred subsequent to the Closing Date pursuant to subsection 7.2, (A) if the encumbrances and restrictions contained in any such agreement or instrument taken as a whole are not materially less favorable to the Lenders than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in the Initial Agreements (as determined in good faith by the Borrower), or (B) if such encumbrance or restriction is not materially more disadvantageous to the Lenders than is customary in comparable financings (as determined in good faith by the Borrower) and either (x) the Borrower determines in good faith that such encumbrance or restriction will not materially affect the Borrower’s ability to make principal or interest payments on the Term Loans or (y) such encumbrance or restriction applies only if a default occurs in respect of a payment or financial covenant relating to such Indebtedness, (ii) relating to any sale of receivables by a Foreign Subsidiary or (iii) relating to Indebtedness of or a Financing Disposition by or to or in favor of any Special Purpose Entity.

SECTION 9. THE AGENTS AND THE OTHER REPRESENTATIVES.

9.1 Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Capital Corporation as the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Capital Corporation, as Administrative Agent for such Lender, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Other Representatives shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except, in the case of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary

112

relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent or the Other Representatives. Each of the Agents may perform any of their respective duties under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein by or through its respective officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates (it being understood and agreed, for avoidance of doubt and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, that the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may perform any of their respective duties under the Security Documents by or through one or more of their respective affiliates).

9.2 Delegation of Duties. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, each Agent shall act solely as agent for the Lenders and, as applicable, the other Secured Parties, and no Agent assumes any (and shall not be deemed to have assumed any) obligation or relationship of agency or trust with or for Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries. Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact (including the Collateral Agent in the case of the Administrative Agent), and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact or counsel selected by it with reasonable care.

9.3 Exculpatory Provisions. None of the Administrative Agent or any Other Representative nor any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for (i) any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent or any Other Representative under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Term Loan Notes or any other Loan Document, (iii) for any failure of Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (iv) the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (v) the satisfaction of any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5, or (vi) the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Other Representative shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party. Each Lender agrees that, except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder or given to the Administrative Agent for the account of or with copies for the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Other Representatives shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent and the Other Representatives or any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

113

9.4 Reliance by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected (and shall have no liability to any Person) in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower or Holdings), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Term Loan Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless such Term Loan Note shall have been transferred in accordance with subsection 10.6 and all actions required by such Section in connection with such transfer shall have been taken. Any request, authority or consent of any Person or entity who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Term Loan Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or endorsee, as the case may be, of such Term Loan Note or of any Term Loan Note or Term Loan Notes issued in exchange therefor. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified as between itself and the Lenders in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders and/or such other requisite percentage of the Lenders as is required pursuant to subsection 10.1(a) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and any Term Loan Notes and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders and/or such other requisite percentage of the Lenders as is required pursuant to subsection 10.1(a), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

9.5 Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or either of the Borrower or Holdings referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action reasonably promptly with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be directed by the Required Lenders and/or such other requisite percentage of the Lenders as is required pursuant to subsection 10.1(a); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

9.6 Acknowledgements and Representations by Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent or the Other Representatives nor any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent or any Other

114

Representative hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or such Other Representative to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent, the Other Representatives and each of the Loan Parties that, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Other Representatives or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, it has made and will make, its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Holdings and the Borrower and the other Loan Parties, it has made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement and it will make its own decisions in taking or not taking any action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Other Representative shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any Term Loan Note with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter. Each Lender represents to each other party hereto that it is a bank, savings and loan association or other similar savings institution, insurance company, investment fund or company or other financial institution which makes or acquires commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business, that it is participating hereunder as a Lender for such commercial purposes, and that it has the knowledge and experience to be and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of being a Lender hereunder. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees to comply with the provisions of subsection 10.6 applicable to the Lenders hereunder.

9.7 Indemnification. (a) The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Term Loan Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this subsection, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by any Agent (or any Affiliate thereof) under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent arising from (a) such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or (b) claims made or legal proceedings commenced against such Agent by any security holder or creditor thereof arising out of and based upon rights afforded any such security holder or creditor solely in its capacity as such. The agreements in this subsection shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(b) Any Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder and under any other Loan Document (except actions expressly required to be taken by it hereunder or under the Loan Documents) unless it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders pro rata against any and all liability, cost and expense that it may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

115

(c) The agreements in this subsection 9.7 shall survive the payment of all Borrower Obligations and Guaranteed Obligations (each as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement).

9.8 The Administrative Agent and Other Representatives in Their Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent, the Other Representatives and their Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with Holdings, the Borrower or any other Loan Party as though the Administrative Agent and the Other Representatives were not the Administrative Agent or the Other Representatives hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. With respect to Loans made or renewed by them and any Term Loan Note issued to them, the Administrative Agent and the Other Representatives shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though they were not the Administrative Agent or an Other Representative, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent and the Other Representatives in their individual capacities.

9.9 Collateral Matters. (a) Each Lender authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement, and any Replacement Intercreditor Agreement for the benefit of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties. Each Lender hereby agrees, and each holder of any Term Loan Note will be deemed to agree, that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the Required Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Security Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or any Replacement Intercreditor Agreement, and the exercise by the Agents or the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Security Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the security interest in and liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents.

(b) The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, in each case at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by such Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon payment and satisfaction of all of the obligations under the Loan Documents at any time arising under or in respect of this Agreement or the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) constituting property being sold or otherwise disposed of (to Persons other than a Loan Party) upon the sale or other disposition thereof in compliance with subsection 7.5, (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such greater amount, to the extent required by subsection 10.1) or (iv) as otherwise may be expressly provided in the relevant Security Documents. Upon request by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing such Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this subsection 9.9.

(c) The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, in each case at its option and in its discretion, to enter into any amendment, amendment and restatement, restatement, waiver, supplement or modification, and

116

to make or consent to any filings tor to take any other actions, in each case as contemplated by subsection 10.17. Upon request by any Agent, at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s and the Collateral Agent’s authority under this subsection 9.9(c).

(d) No Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to the Lenders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to any Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Agents in this subsection 9.9 or in any of the Security Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, each Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given such Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as Lender and that no Agent shall have any duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders, except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(e) The Collateral Agent may, and hereby does, appoint the Administrative Agent as its agent for the purposes of holding any Collateral and/or perfecting the Collateral Agent’s security interest therein and for the purpose of taking such other action with respect to the Collateral as such Agents may from time to time agree.

9.10 Successor Agent. Subject to the appointment of a successor as set forth herein, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may resign as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, respectively, upon 10 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the term “Administrative Agent” or “Collateral Agent,” as applicable, shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal as Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

9.11 Other Representatives. None of the entities identified as joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers pursuant to the definition of Other Representative contained herein, shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder or under any other Loan Document in its capacity as such.

117

9.12 Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable law, each Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax, and in no event shall such Agent be required to be responsible for or pay any additional amount with respect to any such withholding. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that any Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify such Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from or reduction of withholding tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify such Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by such Agent as tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with any expenses incurred.

(vii) reduce the percentage specified in (x) the definition of Required Term A Lenders without the consent of all the Term A Lenders or (y) the definition of Required Term B Lenders without the consent of all of the Term B Lenders;

(b) Any waiver and any amendment, supplement or modification pursuant to this subsection 10.1 shall apply to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans.

(d) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, any Security Document may be amended (or amended and restated), restated, waived, supplemented or modified as contemplated by subsection 10.17 with the written consent of the Agent party thereto and the Loan Party party thereto.

(e) If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination of or to any of the provisions of this Agreement and/or any other Loan Document as contemplated by subsection 10.1(a), the consent of each Lender or each affected Lender, as applicable, is required and the consent of the Required Lenders at such time is obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (each such other Lender, a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrower may, on ten Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative and the Non-Consenting Lender, replace such Non-Consenting Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 10.6 (with the assignment fee and any other costs and expenses to be paid by the Borrower in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender; provided, further, that the applicable assignee shall have agreed to the applicable change, waiver, discharge or termination of this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents; and provided, further, that all obligations of the Borrower owing to the Non-Consenting Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such Non-Consenting Lender concurrently with such Assignment and Acceptance.

To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, no Indemnitee shall be liable for any consequential or punitive damages in connection with the Facilities.

The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) other than in

123

accordance with subsection 7.4, the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section.

(b)(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender other than a Conduit Lender may, in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with applicable law, assign to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including its Term Loan Commitment and/or Loans (which such assignment shall not be required to be pro rata between a Lender’s Term A Loan Commitment and its Term B Loan Commitment or its Term A Loans and its Term B Loans, as the case may be), pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, substantially in the form of Exhibit F) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

(A) The Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default under subsection 8(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing, any other Person; provided, further, that if any Lender assigns all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one of its affiliates in connection with or in contemplation of the sale or other disposition of its interest in such affiliate, the Borrower’s prior written consent shall be required for such assignment; and

(B) the Administrative Agent.

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Term A Loan Commitments, Term B Loan Commitments, Term A Loans or Term B Loans, as the case may be, the amount of the applicable Term Loan Commitments or Term Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1.0 million unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default under subsection 8(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;

(B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance,

124

together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that for concurrent assignments to two or more Approved Funds such assignment fee shall only be required to be paid once in respect of and at the time of such assignments; and

(C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire.

For the purposes of this subsection 10.6, the term “Approved Fund” has the following meaning: “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of (and bound by any related obligations under) subsections 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13 and 10.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 10.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this subsection.

(iv) The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent agrees, to serve as the Borrower’s agent, solely for purposes of this subsection 10.6, to maintain at one of its offices in New York, New York a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Term Loan Commitments of, and interest and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. 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.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s

125

completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this subsection and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this subsection, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance, record the information contained therein in the Register and give prompt notice of such assignment and recordation to the Borrower. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(vi) On or prior to the effective date of any assignment pursuant to this subsection 10.6(b), the assigning Lender shall surrender any outstanding Term Loan Notes held by it all or a portion of which are being assigned. Any Term Loan Notes surrendered by the assigning Lender shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower marked “cancelled”.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.6(b) or any other provision of this Agreement, if the Borrower shall have consented thereto in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), the Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to effectuate assignments of Loans and Commitments via an electronic settlement system acceptable to Administrative Agent and the Borrower as designated in writing from time to time to the Lenders by Administrative Agent (the “Settlement Service”). At any time when the Administrative Agent elects, in its sole discretion, to implement such Settlement Service, each such assignment shall be effected by the assigning Lender and proposed Assignee pursuant to the procedures then in effect under the Settlement Service, which procedures shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Borrower and shall be consistent with the other provisions of this Section 10.6(b). Each assigning Lender and proposed Assignee shall comply with the requirements of the Settlement Service in connection with effecting any assignment of Loans and Commitments pursuant to the Settlement Service. If so elected by each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in writing (it being understood that the Borrower shall have no obligation to make such an election), the Administrative Agent’s and the Borrower’s approval of such Assignee shall be deemed to have been automatically granted with respect to any transfer effected through the Settlement Service. Assignments and assumptions of the Loans and Commitments shall be effected by the provisions otherwise set forth herein until Administrative Agent notifies Lenders of the Settlement Service as set forth herein. The Borrower may withdraw its consent to the use of the Settlement Service at any time upon at least 10 Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, and thereafter assignments and assumptions of the Loans and Commitments shall be effected by the provisions otherwise set forth herein.

Furthermore, no Assignee, which as of the date of any assignment to it pursuant to this subsection 10.6(b) would be entitled to receive any greater payment under subsection 3.10, 3.11 or 10.5 than the assigning Lender would have been entitled to receive as of such date under such subsections with respect to the rights assigned, shall be entitled to receive such greater payments unless the assignment was made after an Event of Default under subsection 8(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing or the Borrower has expressly consented in writing to waive the benefit of this provision at the time of such assignment.

126

(c)(i) Any Lender other than a Conduit Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Term Loan Commitments and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (D) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement 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 may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of subsection 10.1(a) and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this subsection, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of (and shall have the related obligations under) subsections 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13 and 10.5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this subsection. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of subsection 10.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided that such Participant shall be subject to subsection 10.7(a) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) No Loan Party shall be obligated to make any greater payment under subsection 3.10, 3.11 or 10.5 than it would have been obligated to make in the absence of any participation, unless the sale of such participation is made with the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Borrower expressly waives the benefit of this provision at the time of such participation. Any Participant that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof shall not be entitled to the benefits of subsection 3.11 unless such Participant complies with subsection 3.11(b) and provides the forms and certificates referenced therein to the Lender that granted such participation.

(d) Any Lender, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, 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, and this subsection shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute (by foreclosure or otherwise) any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(e) No assignment or participation made or purported to be made to any Assignee or Participant shall be effective without the prior written consent of the

127

Borrower if it would require the Borrower to make any filing with any Governmental Authority or qualify any Loan or Term Loan Note under the laws of any jurisdiction, and the Borrower shall be entitled to request and receive such information and assurances as it may reasonably request from any Lender or any Assignee or Participant to determine whether any such filing or qualification is required or whether any assignment or participation is otherwise in accordance with applicable law.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its designating Lender without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in subsection 10.6(b). The Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any domestic or foreign bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state, federal or provincial bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance. Each such indemnifying Lender shall pay in full any claim received from the Borrower pursuant to this subsection 10.6(f) within 30 Business Days of receipt of a certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Borrower specifying in reasonable detail the cause and amount of the loss, cost, damage or expense in respect of which the claim is being asserted, which certificate shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Without limiting the indemnification obligations of any indemnifying Lender pursuant to this subsection 10.6(f), in the event that the indemnifying Lender fails timely to compensate the Borrower for such claim, any Loans held by the relevant Conduit Lender shall, if requested by the Borrower, be assigned promptly to the Lender that administers the Conduit Lender and the designation of such Conduit Lender shall be void.

(g) If the Borrower wishes to replace the Term Loans with ones having different terms, it shall have the option, with the consent of the Administrative Agent and subject to at least three Business Days’ advance notice to the Lenders under such Facility, instead of prepaying the Term Loans to be replaced, to (i) require the Lenders to assign such Term Loans to the Administrative Agent or its designees and (ii) amend the terms thereof in accordance with subsection 10.1. Pursuant to any such assignment, all Loans to be replaced shall be purchased at par (allocated among the Lenders in the same manner as would be required if such Term Loans were being optionally prepaid by the Borrower), accompanied by payment of any accrued interest and fees thereon and any amounts owing pursuant to subsection 3.12. By receiving such purchase price, the Lenders shall automatically be deemed to have assigned the Term Loans pursuant to the terms of the form of Assignment and Acceptance attached hereto as Exhibit F, and accordingly no other action by such Lenders shall be required in connection therewith. The provisions of this paragraph are intended to facilitate the maintenance of the perfection and priority of existing security interests in the Collateral during any such replacement.

128

10.7 Adjustments; Set-off; Calculations; Computations. (a) If any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of its Term Loans, or interest thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in subsection 8(f), or otherwise (except pursuant to subsection 3.4, 3.13(d) or 10.6)), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Term Loans, as the case may be, owing to it, or interest thereon, such benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders an interest (by participation, assignment or otherwise) in such portion of each such other Lender’s Term Loans, as the case may be, owing to it, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under subsection 8(a) to set-off and appropriate and apply against any amount then due and payable under subsection 8(a) by the Borrower any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

10.8 Judgment. (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Loan Party in any court in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this subsection 10.8 referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due under any Loan Document in any currency (the “Obligation Currency”) other than the Judgment Currency, the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date, or the date on which the judgment is given, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the applicable date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this subsection 10.8 being hereinafter in this subsection 10.8 referred to as the “Judgment Conversion Date”).

(b) If, in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in subsection 10.8(a), there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual receipt for value of the amount due, the applicable Loan Party shall pay such additional amount (if any, but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount actually

129

received in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of the Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date. Any amount due from any Loan Party under this subsection 10.8(b) shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of any of the Loan Documents.

(c) The term “rate of exchange” in this subsection 10.8 means the rate of exchange at which the Administrative Agent, on the relevant date at or about 12:00 noon (New York time), would be prepared to sell, in accordance with its normal course foreign currency exchange practices, the Obligation Currency against the Judgment Currency.

10.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy), and all of such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

10.10 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which 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.

10.11 Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of each of the Loan Parties party hereto, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any of the Loan Parties party hereto, the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

10.12 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY NOTES AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ITS PRINCIPLES OR RULES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS TO THE EXTENT SUCH PRINCIPLES OR RULES ARE NOT MANDATORILY APPLICABLE BY STATUTE AND WOULD REQUIRE OR PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

10.13 Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for

130

(d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to ▇▇▇ in any other jurisdiction; and

(e) waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this subsection any consequential or punitive damages.

(b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Other Representative or Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to the Borrower arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Administrative Agent and Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of creditor and debtor; and

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

10.19 Special Provisions Regarding Pledges of Capital Stock in, and Promissory Notes Owed by, Persons Not Organized in the U.S. To the extent any Security Document requires or provides for the pledge of promissory notes issued by, or Capital Stock in, any Person organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, it is acknowledged that, as of the Closing Date, no actions have been required to be taken to perfect, under local law of the jurisdiction of the Person who issued the respective promissory notes or whose Capital Stock is pledged, under the Security Documents. The Borrower hereby agrees that, following any request by the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders to do so, the Borrower shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, take (to the extent they may lawfully do so) such actions (including the making of any filings and the delivery of appropriate legal opinions) under the local law of any jurisdiction with respect to which such actions have not already been taken as are reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders to be necessary or reasonably desirable in order to fully perfect, preserve or protect the security interests granted pursuant to the various Security Documents under the laws of such jurisdictions.
