2.6.2 Mandatory Prepayment of Revolving Loans. In the event and on such occasion that the total Revolving Exposure exceeds the Aggregate Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall prepay in an aggregate amount equal to such excess first, any unpaid Swing Line Loans, second, any outstanding Revolving Loans, and third, to Cash Collateralize any L/C Obligations then outstanding.

2.7. Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods for New Revolving Advances. The Borrower shall select the Type of each Revolving Advance and, in the case of a Eurodollar Advance, the Interest Period applicable to such Revolving Advance from time to time. The Borrower shall give the Agent irrevocable notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F to the Original Credit Agreement (a “Revolving Advance Borrowing Notice”), not later than 10:00 a.m. (i) on the Borrowing Date for each Floating Rate Advance and (ii) at least three Business Days before the Borrowing Date for each Eurodollar Advance, specifying:

(a)the Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day, of such Revolving Advance,

(b)the aggregate amount of such Revolving Advance,

(c)the Type of such Revolving Advance, and

(d)in the case of each Eurodollar Advance, the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Not later than the Specified Remittance Time on each Borrowing Date, each Lender shall make available its Revolving Loan or Revolving Loans to the Agent in immediately available funds at the relevant Payment Office. To the extent that the Agent has received funds from the Lenders as specified in the preceding sentence and the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV have been fulfilled, the Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower at the relevant Payment Office within two hours following the Specified

Remittance Time, it being understood that if the relevant Payment Office is located in Atlanta, the Agent will make the applicable funds available to the Borrower by depositing such funds to such account with SunTrust as the Borrower shall designate.

2.8. Conversion and Continuation of Outstanding Advances. Floating Rate Advances shall continue as Floating Rate Advances unless and until such Floating Rate Advances are converted into Eurodollar Advances or prepaid pursuant to Section 2.6. Each Eurodollar Advance of any Type shall continue as a Eurodollar Advance of such Type until the end of the then applicable Interest Period therefor, at which time such Eurodollar Advance shall be automatically converted into a Floating Rate Advance unless the Borrower shall have given the Agent a Conversion/Continuation Notice requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period, such Eurodollar Advance either continue as a Eurodollar Advance of such Type for the same or another Interest Period or be converted into an Advance of another Type. Subject to the terms of Section 2.7, the Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or any part of a Revolving Advance or Term Advance of any Type into any other Type or Types of Advances; provided that any conversion of any Eurodollar Advance shall be made on, and only on, the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. The Borrower shall give the Agent irrevocable notice in the form of Exhibit H to the Original Credit Agreement (a “Conversion/Continuation Notice”) of each conversion of an Advance or continuation of a Eurodollar Advance not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) in the case of a conversion into a Floating Rate Advance, on the date of such conversion and (ii) in the case of a conversion into or continuation of a Eurodollar Advance, at least three Business Days before the date of such conversion or continuation, specifying:

(a)the requested date, which shall be a Business Day, of such conversion or continuation;

(b)the aggregate amount and Type of the Revolving Advance or Term Advance which is to be converted or continued; and

(c)the amount and Type(s) of Revolving Advance(s) or Term Advance(s) into which such Advance is to be converted or continued and, in the case of a conversion into or continuation of a Eurodollar Advance, the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

No Advance may be converted into, or continued as, a Eurodollar Advance if a Default or an Unmatured Default exists, unless the Agent and each of the affected Lenders shall have otherwise consented in writing.

2.9. Payment of Interest on Advances; Changes in Interest Rate.

(a) Interest accrued on each Floating Rate Advance shall be payable on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter and on the earliest of the Facility Termination Date, the date of the reduction to zero of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment pursuant to Section 2.11 and the date of the acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 8.1. Interest accrued on each Eurodollar Advance shall be payable on the last day of its applicable Interest Period, on any date on which such Eurodollar Advance is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on each Eurodollar Advance having an Interest Period longer than three months shall also be payable on the last day of each three-month interval during such Interest Period. In addition, interest accrued on any Advance pursuant to Section 2.12 shall be payable on demand. Interest on Floating Rate Advances shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365/366-day year. All other interest and all fees (including, without limitation, Eurodollar Advances) shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to noon (local time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on an Advance shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.

(b) Each Floating Rate Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Advance is made or is converted from a Eurodollar Advance into a Floating Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.8(b) to but excluding the date it becomes due or is converted into a Eurodollar Advance pursuant to Section 2.8(b), at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate for such day. Changes in the rate of interest on each Revolving Advance and Term Advance maintained as a Floating Rate Advance will take

effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate. Each Eurodollar Advance shall bear interest from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the Eurodollar Rate determined as applicable to such Eurodollar Advance. No Interest Period may end after the Facility Termination Date.

2.10. Swing Line Loans.

(a) Amount of Swing Line Loans. Upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Article IV and prior to the Facility Termination Date, the Swing Line Lender agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make Swing Line Loans to the Borrower from time to time in an amount that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Swing Line Loans exceeding the lesser of (x) $25,000,000 or (y) the amount by which the Aggregate Revolving Commitment exceeds the Revolving Exposure or (ii) the sum of the total Revolving Exposures exceeding the Aggregate Revolving Commitment at such time. Each Swing Line Loan shall be in a minimum amount of not less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, and all interest payable on the Swing Line Loans shall be payable to the Swing Line Lender for the account of such Swing Line Lender. In no event shall the number of Swing Line Loans outstanding at any time be greater than four.

(b)Borrowing Notice. The Borrower shall deliver to the Agent and the Swing Line Lender a notice (a “Swing Line Borrowing Notice”) signed by it not later than 11:00 a.m. on the Borrowing Date of each Swing Line Loan specifying (i) the applicable Borrowing Date (which shall be a Business Day) and (ii) the aggregate amount of the requested Swing Line Loan. The Swing Line Loans shall at all times be Floating Rate Loans.

(c)Making of Swing Line Loans. Promptly after receipt of the Swing Line Borrowing Notice under Section 2.10(b), the Agent shall notify each Lender of the requested Swing Line Loan. Not later than 2:00 p.m. on the applicable Borrowing Date, the Swing Line Lender shall make available its Swing Line Loan in funds immediately available in Atlanta to the Agent at the address specified by the Agent. The Agent will promptly make such funds available to the Borrower.

(d)Payment of Interest and Repayment of Swing Line Loans. Interest accrued on each Swing Line Loan shall be payable on the first Business Day of each calendar month and on the applicable date the Swing Line Loan is due. Each Swing Line Loan shall be paid in full by the Borrower upon the earlier of (i) demand therefor by Agent, and (ii) Facility Termination Date. Outstanding Swing Line Loans may be repaid from the proceeds of Revolving Advances or Swing Line Loans. Any repayment of a Swing Line Loan shall be in the minimum amount of $500,000 and in increments of $100,000 in excess thereof or the full amount of such Swing Line Loan. If the Borrower at any time fails to repay a Swing Line Loan on the applicable date when due, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to borrow

a Floating Rate Advance under Section 2.1 as of such date equal in amount to the unpaid amount of such Swing Line Loan (notwithstanding the minimum amount of Revolving Advances as provided in Section 2.5). The proceeds of any such Revolving Advance shall be used to repay such Swing Line Loan. Unless the Required Revolving Lenders shall have notified the Swing Line Lender prior to the Swing Line Lender making any Swing Line Loan, that the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article IV have not then been satisfied, each Lender's obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to Section 2.1 and this Section 2.10(d) to repay Swing Line Loans shall be unconditional, continuing, irrevocable and absolute and shall not be affected by any circumstances, including the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Unmatured Default; provided that the Swing Line Lender shall not make a Swing Line Loan if, at the time it would otherwise make such Loan, the Swing Line Lender has actual knowledge that a Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing. In the event that any Lender fails to make payment to the Agent of any amount due under this Section 2.10(d), the Agent shall be entitled to receive, retain and apply against such obligation the principal and interest otherwise payable to such Lender hereunder until the Agent receives such payment from such Lender or such obligation is otherwise fully satisfied. In addition to the foregoing, if for any reason any Lender fails to make payment to the Agent of any amount due under this Section 2.10(d) or if, for any reason Revolving Advances cannot be made by the Lenders hereunder, such Lender shall, or shall be deemed, at the option of the Agent, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Swing Line Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest in and participation in the applicable Swing Line Loan in the amount of the Loan such Lender was required to make pursuant to this Section 2.10(d) and such interest and participation may be recovered from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for each day during the period commencing on the date of demand by the Agent and ending on the date such obligation is fully satisfied.

2.11. Commitment Fees; Reductions in Commitment.

(a)Fees.

(i)Commitment Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate in effect from time to time on the daily unused portion of such Lender's Revolving Commitment (treating the L/C Obligations and, with respect solely to the Swing Line Lender, the outstanding balance of any Swing Line Loans, as usage) from the Original Closing Date to but excluding the earliest of the Facility Termination Date, the date of the reduction to zero of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.11 and the date of the termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment pursuant to Section 8.1. Such commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, and on the earliest of the Facility Termination Date, the date of the reduction to zero of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.11 and the date of the termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment pursuant to Section 8.1. Commitment fees shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year.

(ii)Agent Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for its own account fees in the amounts and at the times previously agreed upon in writing by the Borrower and the Agent.

(b)Reductions in Aggregate Revolving Commitment. The Borrower may permanently reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitment in whole, or in part ratably among the Lenders in integral multiples of $5,000,000, upon at least three Business Days' written notice to the Agent, which

notice shall specify the amount of any such reduction; provided, however, that the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment may not be reduced below the aggregate Revolving Exposure.

(c)Reductions of Defaulting Lender's Revolving Commitment. So long as no Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower may terminate (on a non-ratable basis) the unused amount of the Revolving Commitment of a Defaulting Lender upon not less than five Business Days' prior notice to the Agent (which will promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.22 will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of any such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided that such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Agent, any Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender. For purposes of the foregoing, the unused amount of such Defaulting Lender's Revolving Commitment may include its Pro Rata Share of any outstanding Letter of Credit up to the then aggregate unused amount of the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders.

(d)Fees Owing to Defaulting Lenders. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to any commitment fees accruing during such period pursuant to clause (a) above (without prejudice to the rights of the Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders in respect of such commitment fees), or any amendment fees hereafter offered to any Lender.

2.12. Rates Applicable After Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.9, unless the Agent and each of the affected Lenders shall have otherwise consented in writing, during the continuance of a Default or Unmatured Default, no Revolving Advance may be made as, converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Advance and no Term Advance may be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Advance. In addition, (i) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default pursuant to Section 7.2, (ii) if the Required Lenders so elect, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Default and (iii) after acceleration pursuant to Section 8.1, (a) each Eurodollar Advance shall bear interest until paid in full at the Eurodollar Rate then applicable to such Advance plus 2% per annum for the then-current Eurodollar Interest Period until the last day of such Eurodollar Interest Period, and thereafter, shall bear interest until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate plus 2% per annum and (b) each Floating Rate Advance and all other Obligations hereunder (other than Loans) shall bear interest until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate plus 2% per annum.

2.13. Method of Payment. Except to the extent that any Tax is required to be withheld or deducted under applicable law, but subject to the provisions of Section 2.18, all payments of the Obligations hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in immediately available funds to the Agent at the Agent's address specified pursuant to Article XIII, or at any other Lending Installation of the Agent specified in writing by the Agent to the Borrower, by 1:00 p.m. on the date when due and shall be remitted by the Agent to the Lenders according to their respective interests therein. Each payment delivered to the Agent for the account of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the Agent received at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Agent from such Lender. The Agent is hereby authorized, but is not obligated, to charge the accounts of the Borrower maintained with SunTrust into which proceeds of Advances are remitted pursuant to Section 2.7 for each payment of interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder, for each payment of principal, in accordance with the applicable Prepayment Notice or when otherwise due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof, and for each payment of Reimbursement Obligations when due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof.

2.14. Noteless Agreement; Evidence of Indebtedness; Telephonic Notices.

(a)Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Revolving Loan (and, in the case of the Swing Line Lender, each Swing Line Loan) or Term Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(b)The Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period with respect thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder, and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender's share thereof.

(c)The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (b) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms.

(d)Any Lender may request that (i) its Revolving Loans be evidenced by a promissory note in substantially the form of Exhibit A-1 to the Original Credit Agreement (a “Revolving Note”) (ii) its Term Loan be evidenced by a promissory note in substantially the form of Exhibit A-2 to the Original Credit Agreement (a “Term Note”). In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender such Revolving Note or Term Note payable to the order of such Lender. Thereafter, the Revolving Loans or Term Loans evidenced by such Revolving Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 12.3) be represented by one or more Revolving Notes, payable to the order of the payee named therein or any assignee pursuant to Section 12.3, except to the extent that any such Lender or assignee subsequently returns any such Revolving Note or Term Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in paragraphs (a) and (b) above.

(e)The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Agent to extend, convert or continue Revolving Advances and effect selections of Types of Revolving Advances and Term Advances based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons the Agent in good faith believes to be acting on behalf of the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Agent a written confirmation, if such confirmation is requested by the Agent or any Lender, of each telephonic notice, signed by an Authorized Officer. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Agent of the relevant telephonic notice shall govern absent manifest error.

2.15. Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Commitment Reductions. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each Aggregate Revolving Commitment reduction notice, Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice, and Prepayment Notice received by it hereunder. The Agent will notify each Lender and the Borrower of the interest rate applicable to each Eurodollar Advance promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Lender and the Borrower prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate.

2.16. Lending Installations. Each Lender may book its Loans at any one or more Lending Installations selected by such Lender and may change any such Lending Installation from time to time.

All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Notes shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of such Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by written notice to the Agent and the Borrower, designate a Lending Installation through which Loans will be made by it and for whose account Loan payments are to be made.

2.17. Non-Receipt of Funds by the Agent. Unless the Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Agent prior to the time on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Agent of (a) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (b) in the case of the Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Agent, repay to the Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Agent until the date the Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (a) in the case of repayment by a Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate for such day or (b) in the case of repayment by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the relevant Loan.

2.18. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower or any other applicable withholding agent shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable by the Borrower or the applicable Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after all required deductions of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes have been made (including any such deductions applicable to amounts payable under this Section 2.18) the Agent or applicable Lender (as the case may be) shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower or other applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower or other applicable withholding agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

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

(c)Without duplication or limitation of subsections (a) or (b) above, the Borrower shall indemnify the Agent and each Lender, within five Business Days after written demand therefor, for any Indemnified Taxes paid by the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and for any Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.18), and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower or any Guarantor to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall, to the extent available to the Borrower, deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such

Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

(e)(i) Any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (or in the case of a Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation) to the Borrower and the Agent (or in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Agent, two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, or any successor form thereto, or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable laws or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, certifying that such Lender is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code and is entitled to a complete exemption from United States federal backup withholding tax.

(ii)Each Foreign Lender agrees that it will on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (or in the case of a Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation) deliver to the Agent and the Borrower (or in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased), to the extent legally eligible to do so, two duly completed copies of (A) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 ECI, or any successor form thereto, certifying that the payments received from the Borrower hereunder are effectively connected with such Foreign Lender's conduct of a trade or business in the United States; or (B) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN, or any successor form thereto, certifying that such Foreign Lender is entitled to a complete exemption from, or reduction in, the withholding of the United States federal income tax under an applicable tax treaty; or (C) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, together with a certificate (x) establishing that each interest payment to the Foreign Lender qualifies as “portfolio interest” exempt from United States federal withholding tax under Code Section 871(h) or 881(c), and (y) stating that (1) the Foreign Lender is not a bank for purposes of Code Section 881(c)(3)(A); (2) the Foreign Lender is not a 10% shareholder of the Borrower within the meaning of Code Section 871(h)(3) or 881(c)(3)(B); and (3) the Foreign Lender is not a controlled foreign corporation that is related to the Borrower within the meaning of Code Section 881(c)(3)(C); or (D) such other form (together with any supplementary documentation) prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or reduction in United States federal withholding tax (including Forms W-8 IMY or W-8 EXP).

(iii)In addition, each Lender and each Participant shall, to the extent legally eligible to do so, deliver new or revised forms required under this Section 2.18(e) promptly upon the expiration, obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender or Participant. Each Lender and each Participant shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, the Lender from which the Participant purchased its participation) in writing at any time that such Lender or Participant determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate or other documentation or information to the Borrower and the Agent (or participating Lender), regardless of whether any such certificate or other documentation or information is then presently required to be delivered.

(f)Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of duly completed and executed originals as shall be requested by the recipient), at the time or times prescribed by law and at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent (1) to enable the Borrower

and/or the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, (2) to determine whether such Lender has complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA and/or (3) to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from any payment under any Loan Document pursuant to FATCA.

(g)If the Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or any Guarantor or with respect to which the Borrower or any Guarantor has paid additional amounts, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, additions to tax or interest imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Agent or such Lender in the event the Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority; provided further that the Borrower shall not have any obligation to indemnify the Agent or any Lender, as the case may be, for any penalties, interest or additions to tax to the extent that such penalties, interest or additions to tax are attributable to the failure of the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, to timely notify the Borrower of the obligation to repay a refund. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Agent, or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(h)With respect to any Indemnified Tax for which the Borrower or any Guarantor may be required to pay additional amounts under Section 2.18(a), if the Borrower, acting reasonably, determines that a reasonable basis exists for contesting such Indemnified Tax, the Agent and such Lender (including any Foreign Lender and any relevant assignee or Participant) shall reasonably cooperate with the Borrower in challenging the imposition of such Indemnified Tax as long as such cooperation does not subject the Agent or such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of the Agent or such Lender.

(i)For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Lender” shall, for purposes of this Section 2.18, include any Issuer.

2.19. Termination. All unpaid Obligations (excluding Hedging Obligations) shall be paid in full in cash by the Borrower on the Facility Termination Date; provided, however, that (a) all Revolving Loans made in connection with any of the Letters of Credit shall be paid in full by the Borrower on the earlier of the Facility Termination Date and the Business Day immediately following the date the relevant Revolving Loan is made, and (b) nothing in this Section 2.19 shall be construed as limiting or modifying the obligation of the Borrower to repay any or all of the outstanding Obligations at any earlier time in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

2.20. Letter of Credit Facility.

2.20.1 Letters of Credit. Upon receipt of duly executed applications therefor, and such other documents, instruments and agreements as the Agent may reasonably require, and subject to the provisions of Article IV, the Issuer shall issue standby Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower, on such terms as are satisfactory to the Issuer; provided, however, that no Letter of Credit will be issued for the account of the Borrower by the Issuer if on the date of issuance, before or after taking such Letter of Credit into account (i) the Revolving Exposure at such time would exceed the Aggregate Revolving Commitment, or (ii) the aggregate outstanding amount of the L/C Obligations would exceed $50,000,000; and provided, further, that no Letter of Credit shall be issued unless it has an expiration date

that is no later than the date which is five Business Days immediately preceding the Facility Termination Date. The Borrower, the Agent, the Issuer and the Lenders hereby acknowledge that on and as of the Restatement Effective Date, the Existing Letters of Credit have irrevocably been deemed to be Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement and all the provisions of this Agreement have and shall apply to the Existing Letters of Credit as being Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement by the applicable Existing L/C Issuer, the whole without novation of all of the obligations of the Borrower to each Existing L/C Issuer in respect of said Existing Letters of Credit.

2.20.2 Letter of Credit Participation. Immediately upon issuance of each Letter of Credit by the Issuer hereunder (and on the Restatement Effective Date, with respect to the Existing Letters of Credit), each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have automatically, irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the applicable Issuer an undivided interest and participation in and to such Letter of Credit, the obligations of the Borrower in respect thereof, and the liability of the applicable Issuer thereunder (collectively, an “L/C Interest”) in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount available for drawing under such Letter of Credit. If the Borrower at any time fails to repay a Reimbursement Obligation, the applicable Issuer (or the Agent, on its behalf) will notify each Revolving Lender promptly upon presentation to it of an L/C Draft or upon any other draw under any Letter of Credit, such notice to be given at least three Business Days before the Business Day on which the applicable Issuer makes payment of each such L/C Draft, or, in the case of any other draw on the Letter of Credit, at the time of demand by the applicable Issuer. On or before the Business Day on which the applicable Issuer makes payment of each such L/C Draft or, in the case of any other draw on the Letter of Credit, on demand of the applicable Issuer, each Revolving Lender shall make payment to the applicable Issuer (or to the Agent for the account of the applicable Issuer), in immediately available funds in an amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the amount of such payment or draw. Unless, with respect to such specific Letter of Credit, the Required Revolving Lenders shall have notified the Agent prior to the Issuer issuing any Letter of Credit, that the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article IV have not then been satisfied, the obligation of each Lender to reimburse the applicable Issuer under this Section 2.20.2 shall be unconditional, continuing, irrevocable and absolute and shall not be affected or impaired by, among other things, the reduction, suspension or termination of the Aggregate Revolving Commitment pursuant to Section 2.11(b) or 8.1. In the event that any Revolving Lender fails to make payment to the applicable Issuer of any amount due under this Section 2.20.2, the applicable Issuer shall be entitled to receive, retain and apply against such obligation the principal and interest otherwise payable to such Lender hereunder until the applicable Issuer receives such payment from such Lender or such obligation is otherwise fully satisfied; provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence shall relieve such Lender of its obligation to reimburse the applicable Issuer for such amount in accordance with this Section 2.20.2.

2.20.3 Reimbursement Obligation. The Borrower agrees unconditionally, irrevocably and absolutely to pay immediately to the applicable Issuer, for the account of the Lenders, the amount of each advance drawn under or pursuant to a Letter of Credit or an L/C Draft related thereto (such obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Agent for an advance made under a Letter of Credit or L/C Draft being hereinafter referred to as a “Reimbursement Obligation”). If the Borrower at any time fails to repay a Reimbursement Obligation pursuant to this Section 2.20.3, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to borrow a Floating Rate Advance from the Revolving Lenders, as of the date of the advance giving rise to the Reimbursement Obligation, equal in amount to the amount of the unpaid Reimbursement Obligation, the proceeds of which Advance shall be used to repay such Reimbursement Obligation and such Advance shall be available from the Lenders notwithstanding the fact that the Aggregate Revolving Commitment may have been reduced, suspended or terminated pursuant to Section 2.11(b) or 8.1. If, for any reason, the Borrower fails to repay a Reimbursement Obligation on the day such Reimbursement

Obligation arises, then such Reimbursement Obligation shall bear interest from and after such day, until paid in full, at the interest rate applicable to Floating Rate Advances.

2.20.4 Cash Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any application for any Letter of Credit, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, the Borrower shall, upon the Agent's demand, provide Cash Collateralization of the Letters of Credit and deliver to the Agent, for the benefit of the Issuers and the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 103% of the aggregate outstanding L/C Obligations. Any such collateral shall be held by the Agent in a separate, interest-bearing account appropriately designated as a cash collateral account in relation to this Agreement and the Letters of Credit and retained by the Agent for the benefit of the Issuers and the Lenders as collateral security for the Borrower's obligations in respect of this Agreement and the Letters of Credit and L/C Drafts. Such amounts shall be applied to reimburse the applicable Issuer for drawings or payments under or pursuant to the Letters of Credit or L/C Drafts, or if no such reimbursement is required, to payment of any other due and unpaid costs, fees, expenses and other Obligations related to the Letters of Credit, any L/C Drafts and such cash collateral account, as the Agent shall determine in consultation with the Issuers. If no Default shall be continuing, amounts remaining in any cash collateral account established pursuant to this Section 2.20.4 which are not to be applied to reimburse the applicable Issuer for amounts drawn under the Letters of Credit or L/C Drafts or to the payment of related costs, fees, expenses and other Obligations as described above, shall be returned to the Borrower. Investment earnings (net of investment losses and any unpaid costs, fees, expenses and other Obligations related to the Letters of Credit, any L/C Drafts and such cash collateral account) on amounts on deposit in the cash collateral account shall be for the account of the Borrower, and the Agent shall remit any such accrued earnings to the Borrower no less frequently than quarterly.

2.20.5 Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay (a) to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a letter of credit fee equal to the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate in effect from time to time on the aggregate daily amount available for drawing under the outstanding Letters of Credit, such fee to be paid in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, and on the Facility Termination Date and (b) to the applicable Issuer for its own account as issuing bank, a one time facing fee of 0.125% of the amount available for drawing under each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuer, payable upon the issuance of each such Letter of Credit issued on or after the Original Effective Date and all customary fees and other issuance, amendment, negotiation and presentment expenses and related charges in connection with the issuance, amendment, presentation of L/C Drafts, and the like customarily charged by the applicable Issuer to other customers of such Issuer of comparable creditworthiness with respect to standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit, payable at the time of invoice of such amounts. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to any letter of credit fees accruing during such period pursuant to clause (a) above (without prejudice to the rights of the Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders in respect of such letter of credit fees), and such letter of credit fees that would have accrued for the benefit of such Defaulting Lender will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to the applicable Issuer or, if and to the extent the Borrower has provided Cash Collateral therefor (or otherwise complied with clause (c) of Section 2.22(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender), to the Borrower.

2.20.6 Indemnification; Exoneration.

(a)In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in this Agreement, Borrower hereby agrees to pay, and to protect, indemnify and save harmless the Agent, the Issuers and each Lender from and against, any and all liabilities and costs which the Agent, any Issuer or any Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit other than, in the case of the issuer thereof, as a result solely of its Gross Negligence or willful misconduct, as

determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, or (ii) the failure of the issuer thereof to honor a drawing under any Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto governmental authority (all such acts or omissions herein called “Governmental Acts”).

(b)As among the Borrower, the Lenders, the Agent and the Issuers, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of a Letter of Credit by, the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, subject to the provisions of the letter of credit application and the letter of credit reimbursement agreement executed by the Borrower in connection with any Letter of Credit, the Issuers, the Agent and the Lenders shall not be responsible (in the absence of Gross Negligence or willful misconduct in connection therewith): (i) for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) for failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply duly with conditions required in order to draw upon any Letter of Credit; (iv) for errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telecopy, telex, or other similar form of teletransmission or otherwise; (v) for errors in interpretation of technical trade terms; (vi) for any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) for the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under any Letter of Credit; and (viii) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Agent, any Issuer, or any of the Lenders including, without limitation, any Governmental Acts. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of any rights or powers of any Issuer under this Section 2.20.6.

(c)In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by the applicable Issuer under or in connection with a Letter of Credit issued on behalf of the Borrower or any related certificates shall not, in the absence of Gross Negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, put such Issuer, the Agent or any Lender under any resulting liability to the Borrower or any Guarantor or relieve the Borrower or any Guarantor of any of its obligations hereunder or under the relevant Guaranty to any such Person.

(d)Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Borrower contained in this Section 2.20.6 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest hereunder, the termination of the Letters of Credit and the termination of this Agreement.

(e)Notwithstanding anything therein to the contrary, in the event any of the provisions of any application submitted by the Borrower in connection with any Letter of Credit conflict with the provisions of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

2.21. Increase of Commitments; Additional Lenders.

(a)The Borrower may, upon at least 15 days' written notice to the Agent (who shall promptly provide a copy of such notice to each Lender), from time to time propose to (i) increase the Aggregate Revolving Commitments (the amount of any such increase, the “Additional Revolving Commitment Amount”) or (ii) increase the Aggregate Term Commitments (the amount of any such increase, the

“Additional Term Commitment Amount”), by an aggregate amount for clauses (i) and (ii) not to exceed $300,000,000; provided that each Additional Revolving Commitment Amount or Additional Term Commitment Amount shall be in a principal amount of not less than $10,000,000 or larger multiple of $5,000,000. Each Lender shall have the right for a period of 10 days following receipt of such notice, to elect by written notice to the Borrower and the Agent to increase its Revolving Commitment or Term Commitment by a principal amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Additional Revolving Commitment Amount or its Pro Rata Share of the Additional Term Commitment Amount. Any Lender who does not respond within such 10 day period shall be deemed to have elected not to increase its Revolving Commitment or Term Commitment. No Lender (or any successor thereto) shall have any obligation to increase its Revolving Commitment or Term Commitment or its other obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any decision by a Lender to increase its Revolving Commitment or Term Commitment shall be made in its sole discretion independently from any other Lender.

(b)If any Lender shall elect not to increase its Revolving Commitment or Term Commitment pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 2.21, the Borrower may designate another bank or other financial institution (which may be, but need not be, one or more of the existing Lenders) which at the time agrees to, in the case of any such Person that is an existing Lender, increase its Revolving Commitment or Term Commitment and in the case of any other such Person (an “Additional Lender”), become a party to this Agreement; provided, however, that any new bank or financial institution must be acceptable to the Agent and in the case of an Additional Revolving Commitment Amount, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuer, which acceptance in each case will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The sum of the increases in the Revolving Commitments of the existing Lenders pursuant to this paragraph (b) plus the Revolving Commitments of the Additional Lenders shall not in the aggregate exceed the unsubscribed amount of the Additional Revolving Commitment Amount. The sum of the increases in the Term Commitments of the existing Lenders pursuant to this paragraph (b) plus the Term Commitments of the Additional Lenders shall not in the aggregate exceed the unsubscribed amount of the Additional Term Commitment Amount.

(c)An increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments or Term Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.21 shall be subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (d) immediately below and the following conditions: (i) immediately prior to and after giving effect to any such increase, no Default or Unmatured Default has occurred or is continuing or shall result therefrom, (ii) immediately prior to and after giving effect to any such increase, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be in compliance on a Pro Forma Basis with the financial covenants set forth in Section 6.18 recomputed as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower for which financial statements are available and (iii) each Additional Lender shall become a Lender under this Agreement (or in the case of an existing Lender, shall become an Additional Lender with respect to its Additional Revolving Commitment Amount or Additional Term Commitment Amount) pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement giving effect to the modifications permitted by this Section 2.21 and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents and executed only by the Borrower and each Guarantor, each Additional Lender and the Agent. All Commitments in respect of any Additional Revolving Commitment Amount or Additional Term Commitment Amount shall be Commitments under this Agreement and shall, on the date of the effectiveness of the applicable Incremental Facility Amendment, be added to the then existing Revolving Commitments or Term Commitments, as applicable, and all extensions of credit pursuant thereto shall have the same terms as those that apply to the extensions of credit pursuant to the existing Revolving Commitments and Term Commitments, or as otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Additional Lenders; provided that (i) after giving effect to all upfront or similar fees, floors or original issue discount payable with respect to such Additional Revolving Commitment Amount or Additional Term Commitment Amount, if the yield applicable to the Additional Revolving Commitment Amount or Additional Term Commitment Amount (in each case, after giving effect to all

upfront or similar fees, floors or original issue discount payable with respect to such Additional Revolving Commitment Amount or Additional Term Commitment Amount) is greater than the applicable yield paid pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as amended through the date of such calculation with respect to the Revolving Loans or Term Loans (in each case, including any upfront fees, floors or original issue discount paid to the Lenders hereunder) plus 0.50% per annum, then this Agreement shall be amended to provide that the interest rate with respect to the Revolving Loans and Term Loans shall be increased to an amount such that the yield under this Agreement on the Revolving Loans and Term Loans (in each case, after giving effect to all upfront or similar fees, floors or original issue discount paid with respect to the Revolving Loans or Term Loans, as the case may be) shall equal the yield applicable to the proposed Additional Revolving Commitment Amount or Additional Term Commitment Amount (in each case, after giving effect to all upfront or similar fees, floors or original issue discount payable with respect to such Additional Revolving Commitment Amount or Additional Term Commitment Amount)); provided that in determining the applicable yields, (A) original issue discount (“OID”) or upfront fees (which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID) payable by the Borrower shall be included (with OID being equated to interest based on the life to maturity of such incremental facility), (B) customary arrangement or commitment fees payable to the joint bookrunners (or their affiliates) or to one or more arrangers (or their affiliates) of any Incremental Facility Amendment shall be excluded and (C) with respect to any floor, such amount shall be converted into an interest margin (in an amount reasonably determined by the Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, provided that if the parties do not come to a mutual agreement on the calculation of such conversion, the difference between the floor (no floor being equated to 0%) for the Additional Revolving Commitment Amount or Additional Term Commitment Amount, as applicable, and the existing Revolving Loans or Term Loans, as applicable, shall be equated to an increase in the Applicable Margin for purposes of this clause) for purposes of determining any increase to the applicable yield, (ii) the covenants, events of default and remedies provisions of such Incremental Facility Amendment shall not be more onerous or restrictive on the Borrower or any Guarantor than the covenants, events of default or remedies contained in this Agreement (unless the Borrower agrees that such provisions are for the benefit of all Lenders), (iii) the weighted average life to maturity of any Term Loan made pursuant to such Incremental Facility Amendment shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the existing Term Loans and (iv) the maturity date of any Loan made pursuant to such Incremental Facility Amendment shall be no shorter than the maturity date of the existing Loans and (v) to the extent that the terms and provisions of such Incremental Facility Amendment are not identical to the terms and provisions contained in this Agreement (except to the extent permitted by clause (i) and (iv) above) they shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.

(d)An Incremental Facility Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.21.

(e)The effectiveness of any Incremental Facility Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the following conditions: (i) the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 (it being understood that all references to “such Loan” in such Section 4.2 shall be deemed to refer to proposed increase through the Additional Revolving Commitment Amount or the Additional Term Commitment Amount), (ii) the Agent shall have received copies of resolutions executed by (x) the Borrower, authorizing the incurrence of such additional Obligations and (y) each Guarantor, stating that such additional Obligations are entitled to benefits of the Loan Documents and (iii) the Borrower shall have delivered to the Agent an opinion or opinions, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, from counsel to the Borrower reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and dated such date, covering such of the matters set forth in the opinions of counsel delivered to the Agent on the Restatement Effective Date pursuant to Amendment No.2 as may be reasonably requested by the Agent, and such other matters as the Agent may reasonably request.

(f)Upon the acceptance of any such agreement by the Agent, (i) the Aggregate Term Commitments shall automatically be increased by the amount of Term Commitments added through such agreement and Schedule II shall automatically be deemed amended to reflect the Term Commitments of all Lenders after giving effect to the addition of such Term Commitments, and (ii) the Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall automatically be increased by the amount of the Revolving Commitments added through such agreement and Schedule II shall automatically be deemed amended to reflect the Revolving Commitments of all Lenders after giving effect to the addition of such Revolving Commitments.

(g)Upon any increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.21 that is not pro rata among all Lenders holding Revolving Commitments, on the date that any such increase becomes effective, (x) each Lender increasing its Revolving Commitment and/or each Additional Lender providing a new Revolving Commitment, on the one hand, shall purchase from each other Lender, on the other hand, via one or more assignments in accordance with the terms of Section 12.3, at par (together with accrued interest), such interests in the Revolving Loans outstanding on the date any applicable increase becomes effective as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments, all such outstanding Revolving Loans will be held by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments after giving effect to any such increase; and (y) the amount of the participations held by each Lender in the outstanding L/C Obligations and outstanding Swing Line Loans shall be adjusted automatically such that, after giving effect to such adjustments, the Lenders shall hold participations in such outstanding L/C Obligations and outstanding Swing Line Loans in proportion to their respective Revolving Commitments after giving effect to any applicable increase. Each Lender that assigns a Revolving Loan to a Lender in accordance with this paragraph (g) shall be entitled to the funding indemnity set forth in Section 3.4.

2.22. Cash Collateralization of Defaulting Lender Commitment; Removal of Defaulting Lenders. If a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply:

(a)each of the Issuers and the Swing Line Lender is hereby authorized by the Borrower (which authorization is irrevocable and coupled with an interest) to give, in its discretion, through the Agent, Borrowing Notices pursuant to Section 2.7 in such amounts and in such times as may be required to (i) reimburse any outstanding L/C Obligations, and (ii) repay any outstanding Swing Line Loan, as applicable; provided that in no event shall any Lender be required to fund any Loans requested pursuant to this Section 2.22(a) that would cause such Lender's Revolving Exposure to exceed such Lender's Revolving Commitment;

(b)the Borrower will, not later than three Business Days after demand by the Agent (at the direction of any Issuer and/or the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be), (a) Cash Collateralize a portion of the obligations of the Borrower to each Issuer and the Swing Line Lender equal to such Defaulting Lender's Pro Rata Share of the outstanding L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans, as the case may be, (b) in the case of such outstanding Swing Line Loans, prepay all Swing Line Loans, or (c) make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, and to each Issuer and the Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, in their sole discretion to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender; provided that no such Cash Collateralization will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Agent, any Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender, or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender;

(c)except as otherwise provided in Section 2.20.5, any amount paid by the Borrower for the account of a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal,

interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Lender, but will instead be retained by the Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account until the termination of the Revolving Commitments at which time the funds in such account will be applied by the Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, in the following order of priority: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent under this Agreement, second, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuers or the Swing Line Lender (pro rata as to the respective amounts owing to each of them) under this Agreement, third, if so determined by the Agent or requested by any Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender in respect of any participation in any Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit, fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuers or the Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any Issuer or the Swing Line Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement, fifth, so long as no Unmatured Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and sixth, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct; and

(d)the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Defaulting Lender and the Agent, require such Defaulting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 12.1) all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender); provided, that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount at par of all Revolving Loans owed to it, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (in the case of such outstanding principal and accrued interest) and from the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts). Each Lender agrees that if the Borrower elects to replace such Lender in accordance with this Section 2.22(d), it shall promptly execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment Agreement to evidence the assignment of its Revolving Commitments and it shall deliver to the Agent its Revolving Note, if any.

ARTICLE III.

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

3.1. Yield Protection. If any Change in Law shall:

(a)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate hereunder against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Eurodollar Rate) or any Issuer; or

(b)subject any Lender or any Issuer to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or such Issuer in respect

thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes indemnified under Section 2.18 and any Excluded Tax); or

(c)impose on any Lender or on any Issuer or the eurodollar interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or any Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or any participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining a Eurodollar Loan or to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuer of participating in or issuing any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then the Borrower shall promptly pay, upon written notice from and demand by such Lender on the Borrower (with a copy of such notice and demand to the Agent), to the Agent for the account of such Lender, within 15 days after the date of such notice and demand, additional amount or amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

3.2 Changes in Capital Adequacy Regulations. If any Lender or any Issuer shall have determined that on or after the Restatement Effective Date any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's or such Issuer's capital (or on the capital of the Parent Company of such Lender or such Issuer) as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender, such Issuer or the Parent Company of such Lender or such Issuer could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender's or such Issuer's policies or the policies of the Parent Company of such Lender or such Issuer with respect to capital adequacy), then, from time to time, within 15 days after receipt by the Borrower of written demand by such Lender (with a copy thereof to the Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender, such Issuer or the Parent Company of such Lender or such Issuer for any such reduction suffered.

3.3 Availability of Types of Advances. If any Change in Law shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to make, maintain or fund any Eurodollar Loan and such Lender shall so notify the Agent, the Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower and the other Lenders, whereupon until such Lender notifies the Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Lender to make Eurodollar Loans, or to continue or convert outstanding Loans as or into Eurodollar Loans, shall be suspended. In the case of the making of a Eurodollar Advance, such Lender's Loan shall be made as a Floating Rate Loan as part of the same Advance for the same Interest Period and if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then outstanding, such Loan shall be converted to a Floating Rate Loan either (i) on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Loan to such date or (ii) immediately if such Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loan to such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the affected Lender shall, prior to giving such notice to the Agent, designate a different Lending Installation if such designation would avoid the need for giving such notice and if such designation would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender in the good faith exercise of its discretion.

3.4 Funding Indemnification. If any payment of a Eurodollar Advance occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or a Eurodollar Advance is not made (whether by borrowing, continuation or conversion) on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason other than default by the Lenders, or an optional prepayment, notice of which has been given in accordance with Section 2.6, is not made on the date specified therefor in such notice, the Borrower will indemnify each Lender for any loss (excluding loss of profit or

Applicable Margin) or cost incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain such Eurodollar Advance. In the case of a Eurodollar Advance, such loss, cost or expense shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Eurodollar Advance if such event had not occurred at the Eurodollar Base Rate applicable to such Eurodollar Advance for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Advance) over (B) the amount of interest that would accrue on the principal amount of such Eurodollar Advance for the same period if the Eurodollar Base Rate were set on the date such Eurodollar Advance was prepaid or converted or the date on which the Borrower failed to borrow, convert or continue such Eurodollar Advance.

3.5 Mitigation; Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity.

(a)To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Sections 2.18, 3.1 and 3.2 or to avoid the unavailability of a Type of Advance under Section 3.3, so long as such designation is not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to such Lender. If the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Advances has been suspended pursuant to Section 3.3 as a consequence of a determination by any Lender that maintenance of its Eurodollar Loans at a suitable Lending Installation would violate any applicable law or any Lender has demanded compensation under Section 2.18, 3.1 or 3.2, the Borrower may elect (i) subject to Section 3.4, to prepay any outstanding Revolving Advances and the Term Advance to the extent necessary to mitigate its liability under Section 2,18, 3.1 or 3.2, (ii) in the event the Term Loans have been paid in full, to terminate the applicable Lender's Revolving Commitment hereunder, or (iii) to require the applicable Lender to assign its outstanding Revolving Loans and the Term Loan, L/C Interests and Revolving Commitment hereunder to another financial institution designated by the Borrower and reasonably acceptable to the Agent. The obligation of a Lender to assign its rights and obligations hereunder or terminate its Commitment hereunder as contemplated by this Section 3.5(a) is subject to the requirements that (x) all amounts owing to that Lender under the Loan Documents are paid in full upon the completion of such assignment or prior to such termination and (y) any assignment is effected in accordance with the terms of Section 12.3 and on terms otherwise satisfactory to that Lender (it being understood that the Borrower shall pay the processing fee payable to the Agent pursuant to Section 12.3.2 in connection with any such assignment).

(b)A certificate of a Lender or an Issuer setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender, such Issuer or the Parent Company of such Lender or such Issuer, as the case may be, specified Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.4 shall be delivered to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) and shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay any such Lender or such Issuer, as the case may be, such amount or amounts within 15 days after receipt thereof. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.4 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE IV.

CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

4.1 Conditions to Effectiveness. The Obligation of each Lender to initially make the Term Loans or the Revolving Loans or to participate in any Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit as of the Original Effective Date was subject to the delivery, satisfaction or waiver of the following conditions precedent:

(a) (i) a certified copy of the certificate of incorporation of the Borrower, and (ii) a certificate of good standing for the Borrower from the Delaware Secretary of State;

ARTICLE V.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders that:

5.1. Corporate Existence and Standing. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries (i) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, (ii) has all requisite power and authority to conduct its business, and (iii) is duly qualified to transact business, and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction where such qualification is required, except, in the case of any Subsidiary (other than a Significant Subsidiary), clause (i) and, in the case of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, clause (ii) or (iii), where the failure to do so, when taken together with all similar failures by any Subsidiary, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

5.2. Authorization and Validity. The Borrower and each Guarantor has the corporate, limited liability company or limited partnership power and authority, as the case may be, and legal right to execute and deliver the Loan Documents to which it is party and to perform its obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery by each of the Borrower and each Guarantor of the Loan Documents to which it is party and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by proper corporate proceedings, and each Loan Document to which the Borrower or any Guarantor is party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower or such Guarantor, as applicable, enforceable against the Borrower or such Guarantor, as applicable, in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and general principles of equity, regardless of whether the application of such principles is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

5.3. No Conflict; Government Consent. Neither the execution and delivery by each of the Borrower and each Guarantor of the Loan Documents to which it is party, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Loan Documents, nor compliance with the provisions thereof, will (a) violate any Requirements of Law applicable to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any judgment, order or ruling of any Governmental Authority, (b) violate the provisions of any indenture, instrument or agreement to which the Borrower or any Subsidiary is a party or is subject, or by which it, or its Property, is bound, or conflict with or constitute a default thereunder, except to the extent such violation could not individually or in the aggregate reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (c) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on the Property of the Borrower or any Subsidiary. No order, consent, approval, license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, any Governmental Authority, is required to authorize, or is required in connection with the execution and delivery by the Borrower and the Guarantors, and performance by the Borrower and the Guarantors of their obligations under, or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability against the Borrower and the Guarantors of, any of the Loan Documents.

5.4. Financial Statements. The (i) December 31, 2011 and (ii) March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012 consolidated financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, heretofore delivered to the Lenders, were prepared in accordance with GAAP in effect on the date such statements were prepared and fairly present the consolidated financial condition of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries at the date thereof and the consolidated results of their operations for the period then ended, subject, in the case of

the financial statements referred to in clause (ii) above, to normal year-end adjustments and the absence of notes.

5.5. Material Adverse Change. Since December 31, 2011, there has been no change in the business, Property, financial condition or results of operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.6. Taxes. All material tax returns required to be filed by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in any jurisdiction have, in fact, been filed, all such material tax returns have been prepared in accordance with applicable laws, and all material taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges upon the Borrower or any Subsidiary or upon any of their respective properties, income or franchises, which are shown on such material tax returns have been paid except to the extent such tax payments are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which adequate reserves or other appropriate provisions are being maintained in accordance with Agreement Accounting Principles. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries knows of any proposed additional tax assessment against it or any of them for which adequate provision has not been made on its or their accounts, and no controversy in respect of additional income or other taxes due or claimed to be due to any Governmental Authority is pending or to the knowledge of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries threatened the outcome of which could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in respect of any taxes or other governmental charges are adequate based upon the requirements of the Agreement Accounting Principles.

5.7 Litigation and Contingent Liabilities. There is no litigation, arbitration, governmental investigation, proceeding or inquiry pending or, to the knowledge of any of their officers, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower which, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Other than any liability incident to such litigation, arbitration or proceedings, to the knowledge of the Borrower's officers neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has any material contingent liabilities not provided for or disclosed in the financial statements referred to in Section 5.4.

5.8 Subsidiaries. Schedule III, together with the most recent update, if any, delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(i), contains an accurate list of all of the Subsidiaries (except for inactive Subsidiaries with immaterial assets and liabilities) of the Borrower, setting forth their respective jurisdictions of incorporation and the percentage of their respective Capital Stock owned by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries. All of the issued and outstanding shares of Capital Stock of the Subsidiaries of the Borrower listed on Schedule III, together with the most recent update, if any, delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(i), have been duly authorized and issued and are fully paid and non-assessable.

5.9 ERISA.

(a) No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The “benefit obligations” of all Plans did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the “fair market value of the assets” of such Plans by more than $15,000,000. The terms “benefit obligations” and “fair market value of assets” shall be determined by and with such terms defined in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158.

(b)Each Employee Benefit Plan is in compliance in all respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other Requirements of Law except where such noncompliance could

not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except (i) with respect to Multiemployer Plans and (ii) as could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Qualified Plan (A) has received a favorable determination from the IRS applicable to the Qualified Plan's current remedial amendment cycle (as defined in Revenue Procedure 2007-44 or “2007-44” for short), (B) has timely filed for a favorable determination letter from the IRS during its staggered remedial amendment cycle (as defined in 2007-44) and such application is currently being processed by the IRS, (C) has filed for a determination letter prior to its “GUST remedial amendment period” (as defined in 2007-44) and received such determination letter and the staggered remedial amendment cycle first following the GUST remedial amendment period for such Qualified Plan has not yet expired or (D) is maintained under a prototype plan and may rely upon a favorable opinion letter issued by the IRS with respect to such prototype plan. No event has occurred which would cause the loss of the Borrower's or any ERISA Affiliate's reliance on the Qualified Plan's favorable determination letter or opinion letter.

(c)Except as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect: (i) there are no pending or to the best of the Borrower's knowledge, threatened claims, actions or lawsuits or action by any Governmental Authority with respect to an Employee Benefit Plan; (ii) there are no violations of the fiduciary responsibility rules with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan; and (iii) neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a non-exempt “prohibited transaction,” as defined in Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code, in connection with any Employee Benefit Plan, that would subject the Borrower to a tax on prohibited transactions imposed by Section 502(i) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

5.10. Accuracy of Information. No written information, exhibit or report prepared and furnished by the Borrower or any Subsidiary to the Agent or to any Lender in connection with the negotiation of, or compliance with, the Loan Documents, taken as a whole, contained any material misstatement of fact or omitted to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading; provided that with respect to projected financial information, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time (it being understood that such projections and forecasts are subject to uncertainties and contingencies and no assurances can be given that such projections or forecasts will be realized).

5.11. Regulations T, U and X. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with Regulations T, U and X and none of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of buying or carrying margin stock (as defined in Regulation U).

5.12. Material Agreements

Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement to which it is a party, which default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (any such agreement, a “Material Agreement”).

5.13. Compliance With Laws. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have complied in all material respects with all Requirements of Law and all judgments, decrees and orders of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the conduct of their respective businesses or the ownership or operation of their respective Property except for such non-compliance as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice to the effect that, or is otherwise aware that, its Property or its operations are not in material compliance with or that any of them has any liability with respect to any of the requirements of applicable environmental,

health and safety statutes and regulations of any Governmental Authority or the subject of any investigation by any Governmental Authority evaluating whether any remedial action is needed to respond to a release of any toxic or hazardous waste or substance into the environment, which non-compliance or remedial action could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.14. Ownership of Properties. Except as set forth on Schedule III, on the Restatement Effective Date, there are no Liens, other than those permitted by Section 6.16, on the Property and assets reflected as owned by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in the financial statements delivered from time to time pursuant hereto.

ARTICLE VIII.

ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES

8.1 Acceleration. If any Default described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 occurs, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans or purchase participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans hereunder and the obligation of the Issuer to issue Letters of Credit hereunder shall automatically terminate and the Obligations (other than Hedging Obligations and Existing Hedging Obligations) shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Agent, any Issuer or any Lender, and without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower hereby expressly waives. If any other Default occurs, the Required Lenders may (a) terminate or suspend the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and purchase participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans hereunder, whereupon the obligation of the Issuer to issue Letters of Credit hereunder shall also terminate or be suspended, (b) declare the Obligations (other than Hedging Obligations and Existing Hedging Obligations) to be due and payable, whereupon the Obligations (other than Hedging Obligations and Existing Hedging Obligations) shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower hereby expressly waives, or (c) take the action described in both the preceding clauses (a) and (b).

If, within 30 days after acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations or termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder as a result of any Default (other than any Default as described in Section 7.6 or 7.7) and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered, the Required Lenders (in their sole discretion) shall so direct, the Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination.

8.2 Amendments. Subject to the provisions of this Article VIII, the Required Lenders (or the Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders and the Borrower hereunder or waiving any Default hereunder; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment or waiver solely affecting the Revolving Lenders (or that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights and obligations of the Term Lenders) under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be effected solely with the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders, and any amendment or waiver solely affecting the Term Lenders (or that does not directly and adversely affect the rights and obligations of the Revolving Term Lenders) under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be effected solely with the consent of the Required Term Lenders; provided, further, that no such supplemental agreement shall:

(a)increase the Revolving Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender;

(b)reduce the principal amount of any Lender's Loan or Reimbursement Obligation or reduce the rate of interest thereon (other than post-default interest in accordance with Section 2.12), or reduce any fees payable hereunder to any Lender, without the written consent of such Lender;

(d)change Section 11.2 in a manner that would reduce the amount of any Lender's sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of such Lender;

(e)change any of the provisions of this Section 8.2 or (i) the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders which are required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the consent of each Lender, (ii) the definition of “Required Revolving Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Revolving Lenders which are required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the consent of each Revolving Lender, or (iii) the definition of “Required Term Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Term Lenders which are required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the consent of each Term Lender;

(f)release the Borrower or any Guarantor or limit the liability of the Borrower under the Loan Documents or any such Guarantor under any Guaranty other than in accordance with Section 6.20(b), without the written consent of each Lender;

(g)[Intentionally Omitted];

(h)subordinate the Loans to any other Indebtedness without the consent of all Lenders;

(i)increase the aggregate of all Revolving Commitments (other than pursuant to Section 2.21) without the consent of all of the Revolving Lenders; or

(j)change Section 2.3(c) in any manner without the consent of each Lender affected thereby and each Hedging Agreement Counterparty affected thereby, if any.

No amendment of any provision of this Agreement affecting the rights, duties or obligations of the Agent, the Swing Line Lender or any Issuer shall be effective without the prior written consent of such Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended in accordance with Section 2.21 with the consent of the Agent and the Additional Lenders (and without the consent of any other Lender). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (x) no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that (1) the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and such Defaulting Lender shall have the right to consent to any amendment, waiver, or consent hereunder that would have the effect of postponing the date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, any Loan or other Obligation and (2) except as permitted by Sections 2.11(c) and 2.22(d), the principal amount of any Loan owing to such Defaulting Lender or the rate of interest thereon may not be reduced without the consent of such Lender and (y) this Agreement may be amended and restated without the consent of any Lender (but with the consent of the Borrower and the Agent) if, upon giving effect to such amendment and restatement, such Lender shall no longer be a party to this Agreement (as so amended and restated), the Commitments of such Lender shall have terminated (but such Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.18, 3.1, 3.2, 3.4 and 9.7), such Lender shall have no other commitment or other obligation hereunder and shall have been paid in full all principal, interest and other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein or otherwise to the contrary, any Default occurring hereunder shall continue to exist (and shall be deemed to be continuing) until such time as such Default is waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.2 notwithstanding (i) any attempted cure or other action taken by the Borrower or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Default or (ii) any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Agent or any Lender prior to or subsequent to the occurrence of such Default (other than the granting of a waiver in writing in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.2).

8.3 Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders or any of them or the Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Loan notwithstanding the existence of a Default or the inability of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Loan shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by (or with the consent of) the Lenders required pursuant to Section 8.2, and then only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or afforded by law shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Agent and the Lenders until the Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash and the Commitments shall have been terminated.

9.10. Severability of Provisions. Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to be inoperative, illegal, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, ineffective or invalid to the extent of such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the remaining provisions hereof or thereof; and the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

9.11 Nonliability of Lenders. The relationship between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Lenders and the Agent, on the other hand, shall be solely that of borrower and lender. None of the Agent, any Arranger or any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENTS, AND THE BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE BORROWER IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

THE BORROWER, THE AGENT, EACH ARRANGER AND EACH LENDER HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED THEREUNDER.

9.15 Confidentiality. Each of the Agent, each Arranger, each Issuer and each Lender agrees to hold any confidential information which it may receive from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement in confidence, except for disclosure (a) to other Lenders or their respective Affiliates, (b) to any Related Party of the Agent, such Arranger, such Issuer or any such Lender including, without limitation, to legal counsel, accountants, and other professional advisors to the Agent, such Arranger, such Issuer or any such Lender, (c) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory agency or authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (d) to any Person to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (e) to any Person in connection with any legal proceeding to which that Lender is a party, (f) as permitted by Section 12.4, (g) to the extent that such information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 9.15, or which becomes available to the Agent, any Arranger, any Issuer, any Lender or any Related Party of any of the foregoing on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower, (h) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Documents or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (i) to any rating agency, (j) to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar organization, (k) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of, or no less restrictive than, this Section 9.15, (i) to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) to any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap or derivative or similar transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder or (l) with the consent of the Borrower; provided, however, with respect to any disclosure pursuant to clauses (d) and

(e), the Agent, such Arranger, the Issuer or such Lender, as applicable, uses its commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower in writing immediately upon its or their receipt of any demand for such disclosures except to the extent such notice to the Borrower is prohibited by any law or regulatory authority. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of any information as provided for in this Section 9.15 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such information as such Person would accord its own confidential information.

9.16 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which may be treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by a Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 9.16 shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

9.17 Waiver of Effect of Corporate Seal. The Borrower represents and warrants that neither it nor any Guarantor is required to affix its corporate seal to this Agreement or any other Loan Document pursuant to any requirement of law or regulation, agrees that this Agreement is delivered by the Borrower under seal and waives any shortening of the statute of limitations that may result from not affixing the corporate seal to this Agreement or such other Loan Documents.

9.18 Patriot Act. The Agent and each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower and each Guarantor that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each of the Borrower and each Guarantor, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and such Guarantor and other information that will allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower and such Guarantor in accordance with the Patriot Act. Each of the Borrower and each Guarantor shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, provide to the extent commercially reasonable, such information and take such other actions as are reasonably requested by the Agent or any Lender in order to assist the Agent and the Lenders in maintaining compliance with the Patriot Act.

9.19 Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Unmatured Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

ARTICLE X.

THE AGENT

10.1 Appointment. Each Lender irrevocably appoints SunTrust Bank as Agent hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and authorizes it to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Agent agrees to act as such upon the express conditions contained in this Article X. The Agent shall not have a

fiduciary relationship in respect of the Borrower, any Subsidiary of the Borrower or any Lender by reason of this Agreement. Each Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith until such time and except for so long as the Agent may agree at the request of the Required Revolving Lenders to act for the applicable Issuer with respect thereto; provided that such Issuer shall have all the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Agent in this Article X with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the application and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to the Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Agent” as used in this Article included such Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions and (ii) as additionally provided in this Agreement with respect to such Issuer.

10.2 Powers. The Agent shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent shall have no implied duties to the Lenders, or any obligation to the Lenders to take any action thereunder except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents to be taken by the Agent.

10.3 General Immunity. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to any or all of the Borrower, any Subsidiary of the Borrower or the Lenders for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith, except to the extent that such action or inaction is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen solely from the Gross Negligence or willful misconduct of such Person.

10.4 No Responsibility for Loans, Recitals, Etc.

(a)The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan Document or any borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms and conditions set forth in any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any agreement by an obligor to furnish information directly to each Lender; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items required to be delivered to the Agent; (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith; or (v) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or under any Loan Document or in connection herewith or therewith. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower) concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.

(b)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or an Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) the Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except those discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 8.2), and (iii) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

10.5. Action on Instructions of Lenders. If the Agent shall request instructions from the Required Lenders, Required Revolving Lenders, or Required Term Lenders, as applicable (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 8.2), with respect to any action or actions (including the failure to act) in connection with this Agreement, the Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such act, unless and until it shall have received instructions from such Lenders, and the Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders, Required Revolving Lenders, or Required Term Lenders, as applicable (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 8.2), where required by the terms of this Agreement.

10.6 Employment of Agents and Counsel. The Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by or through any one or more sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Agent and shall not be answerable to the Lenders, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Agent and any such sub-agent or attorney-in-fact may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to the agency hereby created and its duties hereunder and under any other Loan Document. The exculpatory provisions set forth in this Article X shall apply to any such sub-agent or attorney-in-fact and the Related Parties of the Agent, any such sub-agent and any such attorney-in-fact and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent. The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it, its agents or attorneys-in-fact with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders, the Required Revolving Lenders, or the Required Term Lenders, as applicable (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 8.2) or in the absence of its own Gross Negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

10.7 Reliance on Documents; Counsel. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person. The Agent may also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), indepen-dent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

10.8 Agent's Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Agent ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments (a) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrower for which the Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Borrower under the Loan Documents, (b) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrower for any other expenses incurred by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders, in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration and enforcement of the Loan Documents and (c) for any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrower for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other document delivered in

connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby, or the enforcement of any of the terms thereof or of any such other documents; provided that any obligation to indemnify the Agent with respect to Letters of Credit pursuant to this Section 10.8 shall be limited to Revolving Lenders only; provided further that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they are determined in a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen solely from the Gross Negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 10.8 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

10.9 Rights as a Lender. The bank serving as the Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any other Loan Document in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not the Agent, and the term “Lenders,” “Required Lenders,” “Required Revolving Lenders,” “Required Term Lenders,” “holders of Revolving Notes,” “holders of Term Notes” or any similar terms shall, at any time when the Agent is a Lender, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual capacity. The bank acting as Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of trust, debt, equity or other transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person as if it were not the Agent hereunder.

10.10 Lender Credit Decision. Each of the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any Arranger, any Issuer or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each of the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any Arranger, any Issuer or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under or based on this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Each of the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that outside legal counsel to the Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration (including any amendments, waivers and consents) of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents is acting solely as counsel to the Agent and is not acting as counsel to any Arranger or Lender (other than the Agent and its Affiliates) in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

10.11 Successor Agent.

(a) The Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent (subject to the approval by the Borrower provided that no Default or Unmatured Default shall exist at such time). If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuers, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof or a bank which maintains an office in the United States, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000.

(b)Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If within 45 days after written notice is given of the retiring Agent's resignation under this Section 10.11 no successor Agent shall have been appointed

and shall have accepted such appointment, then on such 45th day (i) the retiring Agent's resignation shall become effective, (ii) the retiring Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and (iii) the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring Agent under the Loan Documents until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above. After any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article X shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent and its representatives and agents in respect of any actions taken or not taken by any of them while it was serving as the Agent.

(c)In addition to the foregoing, if a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, any Issuer and/or the Swing Line Lender may, upon prior written notice to the Borrower and the Agent, resign as Issuer or Swing Line Lender, respectively, effective at the close of business on a date specified in such notice (which date may not be less than five Business Days after the date of such notice); provided that such resignation by such Issuer will have no effect on the validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit then outstanding or on the obligations of the Borrower or any Lender under this Agreement with respect to any such outstanding Letter of Credit or otherwise to such Issuer; and provided, further, that such resignation by the Swing Line Lender will have no effect on its rights in respect of any outstanding Swing Line Loans or on the obligations of the Borrower or any Lender under this Agreement with respect to any such outstanding Swing Line Loan.

10.12 [Intentionally Omitted].

10.13 Syndication Agents, Documentation Agents, etc. Each Lender and the Borrower (for itself and the Guarantors) hereby agrees none of the Lenders identified in this Agreement as a “Syndication Agent,” “Arranger,” or “Co-Documentation Agent,” in their capacities as such, shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Lenders shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to such Lenders as it makes with respect to the Agent in Section 10.10.

10.14 Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default hereunder unless and until the Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement describing such Default or Unmatured Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Agent receives such a notice, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.

10.15 Guarantor Releases. The Lenders hereby empower and authorize the Agent to execute and deliver to the Borrower or any Guarantor on their behalf any agreements, documents or instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect any release of a Guarantor which shall be permitted by the terms hereof or which shall otherwise have been approved by the Required Lenders (or, if required by the terms of Section 8.2, all of the Lenders) in writing.

10.16 Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender or Issuer an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender or Issuer (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender or Issuer failed to notify the Agent of a change in circumstances that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender or Issuer shall indemnify the Agent (to the extent that the Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrower or any Guarantor and without limiting any obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor to do so) fully for all amounts paid,

directly or indirectly, by the Agent as Tax or otherwise, including penalties, additions to Tax and interest, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses, allocated staff costs and any out of pocket expenses, whether or not such Tax was correctly or legally asserted. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender or Issuer by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The agreements in this Section 10.16 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or Issuer, the termination of the Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. Each Lender and Issuer hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Issuer under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Agent under this Section 10.16.

10.17 Agent May File Proofs of Claim.

(a) In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrower or any Guarantor, the Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any Revolving Exposure shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(i)to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans or Revolving Exposure and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuers, the Swing Line Lender and the Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuers, the Swing Line Lender and the Agent and its agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuers, the Swing Line Lender and the Agent under Section 9.7) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(ii)to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same.

(b) Any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender, the Swing Line Lender and each Issuer to make such payments to the Agent and, if the Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, the Swing Line Lender and the Issuers, to pay to the Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agent under Section 9.7.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender, the Swing Line Lender or any Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

10.18 Authorization to Execute other Loan Documents. Each Lender authorizes the Agent to enter into each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to take all action contemplated by such Loan Documents

ARTICLE XI.

SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS

11.1. Setoff. In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders under applicable law, if the Borrower becomes insolvent, however evidenced, or any Default occurs, any and all deposits (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by any Lender to or for the credit or account of the Borrower may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender, whether or not the Obligations, or any part hereof, shall then be due. Each Lender shall give the Borrower prompt notice of any setoff made by such Lender pursuant hereto.

11.2 Ratable Payments. If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise (other than pursuant to Section 3.5 and Article XII), has payment made to it upon its Revolving Loans or Term Loans (other than payments received pursuant to Section 2.18(c), 3.1, 3.2 or 3.4) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender holding Revolving Loans or Term Loans, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Revolving Loans or Term Loans held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its ratable proportion of Revolving Loans and Term Loans. If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Revolving Loans or Term Loans or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to their Revolving Loans and Term Loans. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.

ARTICLE XII.

BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

12.1 Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, except that (a) the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents without the consent of all of the Lenders and (b) any assignment by any Lender must be made in compliance with Section 12.3. Notwithstanding clause (b) of the preceding sentence, any Lender may at any time, without the consent of the Borrower or the Agent, assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and its Notes to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, however, that no such assignment shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder. The Agent may treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until such payee complies with Section 12.3 in the case of an assignment thereof or, in the case of any other transfer, a written notice of the transfer is filed with the Agent. Any assignee or transferee of a Note agrees by acceptance thereof to be bound by all the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents. Any request, authority or consent of any Person, who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the holder of any Note, shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or assignee of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

12.2 Participations.

12.2.1 Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the

Agent, at any time sell to one or more banks or one or more other entities (each such bank or other entity being referred to herein as a “Participant”) participating interests in all or any part of any Loan owing to such Lender, any Note held by such Lender, any L/C Interest held by such Lender, the Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender under the Loan Documents. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender's obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes under the Loan Documents, all amounts payable by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participating interests, and the Borrower and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.18, 3.1, 3.2 and 3.4 (subject to the limitations and requirements of such Sections (including Section 2.18(e)) and the provisions of Section 3.5) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.3. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.18, 3.1, 3.2 and 3.4 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except (i) if the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower's prior written consent or (ii) to the extent such entitlement to a greater payment results from a Change in Law after the Participant became a Participant. The participation agreement effecting the sale of any participating interest shall contain a representation by the Participant to the effect that none of the consideration used to make the purchase of the participating interest in the Commitment, Loans and L/C Interests under such participation agreement are “plan assets” as defined under ERISA and that the rights and interests of the Participant in and under the Loan Documents will not be “plan assets” under ERISA. Each Lender that sells participations shall, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register (a “Participant Register”) containing the names and addresses and principal and interest amounts attributable to its participation. The parties shall treat each Person listed as a Participant in the Participant Register as the owner of the applicable participation for all purposes of this Agreement absent manifest error, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Person shall have any right to access a Participant Register except to the extent such access is required, by law or in connection with an IRS audit, to confirm that any indebtedness arising hereunder is registered debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

12.2.2 Voting Rights. Any participation agreement effecting the sale of any participation interest between a Lender and a Participant shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the Loan Documents and the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of the Loan Documents; provided that such participation agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents with respect to any Loan, L/C Interest or Commitment in which such Participant has an interest which forgives principal, interest or fees or reduces the interest rate or fees payable with respect to any such Loan, L/C Interest or Commitment, postpones any date fixed for any regularly-scheduled payment of principal of, or interest or fees on, any such Loan, L/C Interest or Commitment, releases any guarantor of any such Loan or L/C Interest (other than in accordance with Section 6.20(b)), extends the maturity of any such Loan, L/C Interest or Commitment or increases the amount of such Commitment.

12.2.3 Benefit of Setoff. The Borrower agrees that to the extent permitted by applicable law each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under the Loan Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under the Loan Documents; provided that each Lender shall retain the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1 with respect to the amount

of participating interests sold to each Participant. The Lenders agree to share with each Participant, and each Participant shall be deemed to agree, by exercising the right of setoff provided in Section 11.1, to share with each Lender, any amount received pursuant to the exercise of its right of setoff, such amounts to be shared in accordance with Section 11.2 as if each Participant were a Lender.

12.3. Assignments.

12.3.1 Permitted Assignments. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time assign to one or more banks or other entities (“Purchasers”) all or any part of its Commitments and outstanding Loans and/or L/C Interests, together with its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents with respect thereto; provided, however, that (a) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations so assigned as it relates to such Lender's outstanding Term Loans or such Lender's Revolving Commitment, outstanding Revolving Loans and L/C Interests; (b) the amount of such outstanding Term Loans or Revolving Commitment, outstanding Revolving Loans and L/C Interests of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of such assignment) may be in the amount of such Lender's entire Revolving Commitment, outstanding Revolving Loans and L/C Interests, or such Lender's outstanding Term Loans, but otherwise shall not be less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount unless otherwise consented to by the Borrower and the Agent; and (c) notwithstanding the foregoing clause (b), if the assignment is made to a Lender, the amount of such Lender's the Revolving Commitment, outstanding Revolving Loans and L/C Interests or such Lender's outstanding Term Loans assigned shall not be less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof. Non pro-rata assignments shall be permitted. The consent of the Agent, the Issuer and the Swing Line Lender shall be required prior to any assignment of the Revolving Commitment, outstanding Revolving Loans and L/C Interests. The consent of the Borrower shall be required prior to any assignment unless (x) a Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, or (y) such assignment is to a (A) Lender, (B) an Affiliate of a Lender or (C) any Person (other than a natural Person) that is (or will be) engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (i) a Lender, (ii) an Affiliate of a Lender or (iii) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender (such Person described in this clause (C), an “Approved Fund”); provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof. Any consents required by this Section 12.3.1 shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

12.3.2 Effect; Effective Date. The parties to each assignment shall deliver to the Agent (i) a duly executed Assignment Agreement, (ii) a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, (iii) an Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee is already a Lender) and (iv) the documents required under Section 2.18(e). From and after the effective date specified in each Assignment Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment Agreement, 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 Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.18, 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, and 9.7 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. In the case of any assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate or Approved Fund for which no consent of the Borrower is required (other than in connection with an assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate or Approved Fund while a Default has occurred and is continuing), such Affiliate or Approved Fund shall not be entitled to claim compensation under Section 2.18 or 3.1(b) to the extent such assigning Lender would not have been

entitled to claim such compensation as of such effective date, unless such assignment was made with the prior written consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The Agent shall, solely for this purpose as agent of the Borrower, maintain a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the principal amount (and interest amounts) of the obligations under the Loan Documents owing to each Lender from time to time. The parties shall treat the registered owner as the Lender for all purposes of this Agreement absent manifest error, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Agent will confirm to any Lender, upon reasonable request, the amount of such Lender's Commitment and the principal amount of the obligations under the Loan Documents owing to such Lender from time to time. The Assignment Agreement shall contain a representation by the Purchaser to the effect that none of the consideration used to make the purchase of the Commitment and Loans under the applicable assignment agreement are “plan assets” as defined under ERISA and that the rights and interests of the Purchaser in and under the Loan Documents will not be “plan assets” under ERISA. On and after the effective date of such assignment, such Purchaser shall for all purposes be a Lender party to this Agreement and any other Loan Document executed by the Lenders and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, to the same extent as if it were an original party hereto and thereto, and no further consent or action by the Borrower, the Lenders or the Agent shall be required to release the transferor Lender with respect to the percentage of the Aggregate Commitment and Loans assigned to such Purchaser. Upon the consummation of any assignment to a Purchaser pursuant to this Section 12.3.2, the transferor Lender, the Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that replacement Notes, if applicable, are issued to such transferor Lender and new Notes or, as appropriate, replacement Notes, if requested, are issued to such Purchaser, in each case in principal amounts reflecting its Loans or Commitments and amounts owed to it under its outstanding Revolving Loan, as adjusted pursuant to such assignment.

12.4. Dissemination of Information. The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Purchaser or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender's possession concerning the creditworthiness of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries; provided that each Transferee and prospective Transferee agrees to be bound by Section 9.15 or a confidentiality agreement containing provisions substantially similar to Section 9.15.

12.5. Tax Treatment. In connection with any transfer of an interest in any Loan Document to any Transferee, the transferor Lender shall cause such Transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to comply with the provisions of Section 2.18(e).

To the fullest extent permitted by law,
