(a)                                 Making of Revolving Loans.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including without limitation, Section 2.18., each Revolving Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make Revolving Loans to the Borrowers during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the Revolving Termination Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to, but not exceeding, such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment.  Each borrowing of Revolving Loans that are to be Base Rate Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof.  Each borrowing of Revolving Loans that are to be LIBOR Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount.  Notwithstanding the immediately preceding two sentences but subject to Section 2.18., a borrowing of Revolving Loans may be in the aggregate amount of the unused Revolving Commitments.  Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Loans.

(b)                                 Requests for Revolving Loans. Not later than 12:00 noon Eastern time at least one (1) Business Day prior to a borrowing of Revolving Loans that are to be Base Rate Loans and not later than 12:00 noon Eastern time at least three (3) Business Days prior to a borrowing of Revolving Loans that are to be LIBOR Loans, the Borrower Representative shall request the borrowing of Revolving Loans by either (i) a telephonic notice to the Administrative Agent, promptly followed by the delivery of a Notice of Borrowing, or (ii) delivering to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Borrowing.  Each Notice of Borrowing shall specify the name of the Borrower requesting such Revolving Loans, the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans to be borrowed, the date such Revolving Loans are to be

37

borrowed (which must be a Business Day), the use of the proceeds of such Revolving Loans, the Type of the requested Revolving Loans, and if such Revolving Loans are to be LIBOR Loans, the initial Interest Period for such Revolving Loans.  Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable once given and binding on the applicable Borrower.  Prior to delivering a Notice of Borrowing, the Borrower Representative may (without specifying whether a Revolving Loan will be a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Loan) request that the Administrative Agent provide the Borrower Representative with the most recent LIBOR available to the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall provide such quoted rate to the Borrower Representative on the date of such request or as soon as possible thereafter.

(c)                                  Funding of Revolving Loans.  Promptly after receipt of a request for borrowing under the immediately preceding subsection (b), the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the proposed borrowing.  Each Revolving Lender shall deposit an amount equal to the Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender to the applicable Borrower with the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon Eastern time on the date of such proposed Revolving Loans.  Subject to fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall make available to the applicable Borrower in the account specified in the Disbursement Instruction Agreement, not later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date of the requested borrowing of Revolving Loans, the proceeds of such amounts received by the Administrative Agent.

(d)                                 Assumptions Regarding Funding by Revolving Lenders.  With respect to Revolving Loans to be made after the Effective Date, unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Revolving Lender that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent a Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender in connection with any borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender will make the proceeds of such Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section, and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower the amount of such Revolving Loan to be provided by such Lender.  In such event, if such Lender does not make available to the Administrative Agent the proceeds of such Revolving Loan, then such Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent on demand the amount of such Revolving Loan with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Revolving Loan is made available to the applicable Borrower but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by a Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans.  If a Borrower and such Lender shall pay the amount of such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period.  If such Lender pays to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Revolving Loan, the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the borrowing as of the date of the borrowing.  Any payment by any Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Revolving Lender that shall have failed to make available the proceeds of a Revolving Loan to be made by such Revolving Lender.

(e)                                  Reallocations on the Effective Date.  On the Effective Date, the “Revolving Commitments” under, and as defined in, the Existing Credit Agreement (the “Existing Revolving Commitments”) of each of the Revolving Lenders party to the Existing Credit Agreement (the “Existing Revolving Lenders”), and the outstanding amount of all “Revolving Loans” under, and as defined in, the Existing Credit Agreement (the “Existing Outstanding Revolving Loans”) and the participations of the Revolving Lenders in outstanding “Letters of Credit” and outstanding “Swingline Loans”, in each case under, and as defined in, the Existing Credit Agreement, shall be reallocated among the Revolving Lenders party hereto in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages. In order to effect such reallocations, each Revolving Lender whose Revolving Commitment on the Effective Date

38

exceeds its Existing Revolving Commitment (each an “Assignee Lender”) shall be deemed to have purchased all right, title and interest in, and all obligations in respect of, the Existing Revolving Commitments and Existing Outstanding Revolving Loans of the Revolving Lenders whose Revolving Commitments are less than their respective Existing Revolving Commitments immediately prior to the Effective Date (each an “Assignor Lender”), so that after giving effect to such reallocation the Revolving Commitments of each Revolving Lender will be as set forth on Schedule I and the Revolving Lenders shall hold Revolving Loans pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages.  Such purchases shall be deemed to have been effected by way of, and subject to the terms and conditions of, Assignment and Assumptions without the payment of any related assignment fee, and, no documents or instruments shall be, or shall be required to be, executed in connection with such assignments (all of which are hereby waived).  The Assignor Lenders and Assignee Lenders shall make such cash settlements among themselves, through the Administrative Agent, as the Administrative Agent may direct (after giving effect to any netting effected by the Administrative Agent) with respect to such reallocations and assignments.

Section 2.2.  Term Loans.

(a)                                 Term A Loans.

(i)                                     Making of Term A Loans.  Pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement the Term A Loan Lenders set forth on Schedule I having a principal amount set forth opposite such Lender’s name under the heading “Existing Term A Loan” made (or received by assignment (immediately prior to the Effective Date in connection with Section 2.2.(a)(ii) hereof or otherwise)) Term A Loans to the Borrower in the amount set forth with respect to such Lender under on Schedule I under the column titled “Existing Term A Loans”.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Term A Loan Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make additional Term A Loans to the Borrowers during the Term Loan Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount up to, but not exceeding, such Term A Loan Lender’s unused Term A Loan Commitment which unused Term A Loan Commitment amount is set forth with respect to such Lender on Schedule I under the column titled “Available Term A Loan Commitment”.  Each borrowing of Term A Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $25,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding two sentences, a borrowing of Term A Loans may be in the aggregate amount of the unused Term A Loan Commitments.  Upon the earlier of (i) a Term A Loan Lender’s funding of its Term A Loan or (ii) the expiration of Term Loan Availability Period, the Term A Loan Commitment of such Term A Loan Lender shall terminate.  Once repaid, the principal amount of a Term A Loan (or portion thereof) may not be reborrowed.

(ii)                                  Existing Term A Loan Reallocation.  Pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement, certain “Lenders” (or their successors) under the Existing Credit Agreement made “Term Loans” (including, for the avoidance of doubt, each “Additional Term Loan” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement”) to the Borrowers.  The Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and each Term A Loan Lender (including any Lender who was not a “Term Lender” under the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior to giving effect hereto, each such Lender, an “Additional Term A Loan Lender”) agree that, simultaneously with the effectiveness of this Agreement, the principal amount of all outstanding “Term Loans” under the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement shall be reallocated among the Term A Loan Lenders in accordance with their respective Term A Loan Commitments (determined in accordance with the amount of each such Lender’s Term A Loan Commitment Amount set forth on Schedule I attached hereto).  In order to effect such reallocations, any Additional Term A Loan Lender and each other Term A Loan Lender whose Term A Loan Commitment exceeds its “Term Loans”

39

under the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement (each, an “Assignee Lender”) shall be deemed to have purchased at par a portion of all right, title and interest in, and all obligations in respect of, the “Term Loan” under the Existing Credit Agreement of any “Term Lender” under the Existing Credit Agreement which shall not to be a Term A Loan Lender hereunder and each Term A Loan Lender whose Term A Loan Commitment will be less than its “Term Loans” under the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement (each, an “Assignor Lender”) so that the principal amount of the Term A Loan Commitments of each Term A Loan Lender will be as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto.  Such purchases shall be deemed to have been effected by way of, and subject to the terms and conditions of, Assignment and Assumptions without the payment of any related assignment fee, and, except for replacement Notes to be provided to the Assignee Lenders and, if applicable, the Assignor Lenders, in the principal amounts of their respective Term Loan Commitments upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, no other documents or instruments shall be, or shall be required to be, executed in connection with such assignments (all of which are hereby waived).  The Assignee Lenders shall make the proceeds of such purchases available to the Administrative Agent which shall then make such amounts of the proceeds of such purchases available to the Assignor Lenders as is necessary to purchase in full at par the “Term Loans” under the Existing Credit Agreement owing to the Assignor Lender. The Assignor Lenders, the Assignee Lenders and the other Lenders shall make such cash settlements among themselves, through the Administrative Agent, as the Administrative Agent may direct (after giving effect to the making of any Term A Loans to be made on the Effective Date and any netting transactions effected by the Administrative Agent) with respect to such reallocations and assignments so that the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term A Loans shall be held by the Term A Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amount of the Term A Loan Commitments (determined without giving effect to any termination of Term A Loan Commitments effected by the making of any such Term A Loans) of the Term A Lenders.

(b)                                 Making of Term B Loans.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Term B Loan Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make Term B Loans to the Borrowers during the Term Loan Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount up to, but not exceeding, such Term B Loan Lender’s Term B Loan Commitment.  Each borrowing of Term B Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $25,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount.  Notwithstanding the immediately preceding two sentences, a borrowing of Term B Loans may be in the aggregate amount of the unused Term B Loan Commitments.  Upon the earlier of (i) a Term B Loan Lender’s funding of its Term B Loan or (ii) the expiration of Term Loan Availability Period, the Term B Loan Commitment of such Term B Loan Lender shall terminate.  Once repaid, the principal amount of a Term B Loan (or portion thereof) may not be reborrowed.

(c)                                  Request for Term Loans.  Not later than 12:00 noon Eastern time at least one (1) Business Day prior to a borrowing of Term Loans that are to be Base Rate Loans and not later than 12:00 noon Eastern time at least three (3) Business Days prior to a borrowing of Term Loans that are to be LIBOR Loans, the Borrower Representative shall request the borrowing of Term Loans by either (i) a telephonic notice to the Administrative Agent, promptly followed by the delivery of a Notice of Borrowing, or (ii) delivering to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Borrowing.  The Borrowers may request not more than three separate borrowings (excluding borrowings, if any, on the Effective Date) of Term Loans with respect to each of the Term A Commitments and the Term B Commitments during the Term Loan Availability Period.  Such Notice of Borrowing shall specify the name of the Borrower requesting the Term Loans, the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans to be borrowed, the Class of the Term Loans to be borrowed, the date such Term Loans are to be borrowed (which must be a Business Day), the use of the proceeds of such Term Loans, the Type of the requested Term Loans, and if such Term Loans are to be LIBOR Loans, the initial Interest Period for such Term Loans.  Such Notice of

40

Borrowing shall be irrevocable once given and binding on the applicable Borrower.  Prior to delivering such Notice of Borrowing, the Borrower Representative may (without specifying whether a Term Loan will be a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Loan) request that the Administrative Agent provide the Borrower Representative with the most recent LIBOR available to the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall provide such quoted rate to the Borrower Representative on the date of such request or as soon as possible thereafter.

(d)                                 Funding of Term Loans.  Promptly after receipt of a request for borrowing under the immediately preceding subsection (b), the Administrative Agent shall notify the applicable Class of Term Loan Lenders of the proposed borrowing.  Each such Term Loan Lender shall deposit an amount equal to the Term Loan to be made by such Lender to the applicable Borrower with the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon Eastern time on the date of such proposed Term Loans.  Subject to fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall make available to the applicable Borrower in the account specified in the Disbursement Instruction Agreement, not later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date of the requested borrowing of Term Loans, the proceeds of such amounts received by the Administrative Agent.

(e)                                  Assumptions Regarding Funding by Term Loan Lenders.  With respect to Term Loans to be made after the Effective Date, unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Term Loan Lender that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent a Term Loan to be made by such Lender, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender will make the proceeds of such Term Loan available to the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section, and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower the amount of such Term Loan to be provided by such Lender.  In such event, if such Lender does not make available to the Administrative Agent the proceeds of such Term Loan, then such Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent on demand the amount of such Term Loan with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Term Loan is made available to the applicable Borrower but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by a Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans.  If a Borrower and such Lender shall pay the amount of such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to such Borrower the amount of such interest paid by such Borrower for such period.  If such Lender pays to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Term Loan, the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Term Loan included in the borrowing as of the date of the borrowing.  Any payment by any Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Term Loan Lender that shall have failed to make available the proceeds of a Term Loan to be made by such Term Loan Lender.  The Borrower may not reborrow any portion of the Term Loans once repaid; provided, however, the foregoing is not intended to prohibit deemed reborrowings provided for by Section 12.20.(f).

Section 2.3.  Bid Rate Loans.

(a)                                 Bid Rate Loans.  At any time during the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Revolving Termination Date, and so long as at least one of the Borrowers continues to maintain an Investment Grade Rating from S&P or ▇▇▇▇▇’▇, the Borrower Representative may, as set forth in this Section, request the Revolving Lenders to make offers to make Bid Rate Loans to the Borrowers in Dollars.  The Revolving Lenders may, but shall have no obligation to, make such offers, and the Borrower Representative may, but shall have no obligation to, accept any such offers in the manner set forth in this Section.

41

(b)                                 Requests for Bid Rate Loans.  When a Borrower wishes to request from the Revolving Lenders offers to make Bid Rate Loans, the Borrower Representative shall give the Administrative Agent either telephonic notice promptly followed by written notice, which may be by telecopy or electronic mail (a “Bid Rate Quote Request”) so as to be received no later than 10:00 a.m. Eastern time on (x) the Business Day immediately preceding the date of borrowing proposed therein, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction and (y) the date four (4) Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of a LIBOR Auction.  The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Revolving Lender a copy of each Bid Rate Quote Request promptly upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent.  The Borrower Representative may request offers to make Bid Rate Loans for up to three (3) different Interest Periods in any one Bid Rate Quote Request; provided that if granted each separate Interest Period shall be deemed to be a separate borrowing (a “Bid Rate Borrowing”).  Each Bid Rate Quote Request shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit K and shall specify as to each Bid Rate Borrowing all of the following:

(i)                                     the proposed date of such Bid Rate Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(ii)                                  the aggregate amount of such Bid Rate Borrowing which shall be in a minimum amount of $2,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof which shall not cause any of the limits specified in Section 2.18. to be violated;

(iii)                               whether the Bid Rate Quote Request is for LIBOR Margin Loans or Absolute Rate Loans; and

(iv)                              the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, which shall not extend beyond the Revolving Termination Date.

A Bid Rate Quote Request may not be submitted within five (5) Business Days of any other Bid Rate Quote Request having been submitted.

(c)                                  Bid Rate Quotes.

(i)                                     Each Revolving Lender may submit one or more Bid Rate Quotes, each containing an offer to make a Bid Rate Loan in response to any Bid Rate Quote Request; provided that, if a Bid Rate Quote Request specified more than one Interest Period, such Revolving Lender may make a single submission containing only one Bid Rate Quote for each such Interest Period.  Each Bid Rate Quote must be submitted to the Administrative Agent not later than 9:30 a.m. Eastern time (x) on the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction and (y) on the date three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of a LIBOR Auction, and in either case the Administrative Agent shall disregard any Bid Rate Quote received after such time; provided that the Revolving Lender then acting as the Administrative Agent may submit a Bid Rate Quote only if it notifies the Borrower Representative of the terms of the offer contained therein not later than 30 minutes prior to the latest time by which the Revolving Lenders must submit applicable Bid Rate Quotes.  Any Bid Rate Quote so made shall be irrevocable except with the consent of the Administrative Agent given at the request of the Borrower Representative.  Such Bid Rate Loans may be funded by a Revolving Lender’s Designated Lender (if any) as provided in Section 12.5.(h); however, such Lender shall not be required to specify in its Bid Rate Quote whether such Bid Rate Loan will be funded by such Designated Lender.

42

(ii)                                  Each Bid Rate Quote shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit L and shall specify:

(A)                               the proposed date of borrowing and the Interest Period therefor;

(B)                               the principal amount of the Bid Rate Loan for which each such offer is being made; provided that the aggregate principal amount of all Bid Rate Loans for which a Revolving Lender submits Bid Rate Quotes (x) may be greater or less than the Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender but (y) shall not exceed the principal amount of the Bid Rate Borrowing for a particular Interest Period for which offers were requested; provided further that any Bid Rate Quote shall be in a minimum amount of $2,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof;

(C)                               in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction, the rate of interest per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/1,000th of 1%) offered for each such Absolute Rate Loan (the “Absolute Rate”);

(D)                               in the case of a LIBOR Auction, the margin above or below applicable LIBOR (the “LIBOR Margin”) offered for each such LIBOR Margin Loan, expressed as a percentage (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/1,000th of 1%) to be added to (or subtracted from) the applicable LIBOR; and

(E)                                the identity of the quoting Revolving Lender.

Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative, no Bid Rate Quote shall contain qualifying, conditional or similar language or propose terms other than or in addition to those set forth in the applicable Bid Rate Quote Request and, in particular, no Bid Rate Quote may be conditioned upon acceptance by the Borrower Representative of all (or some specified minimum) of the principal amount of the Bid Rate Loan for which such Bid Rate Quote is being made.

(d)                                 Notification by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall, as promptly as practicable after the Bid Rate Quotes are submitted (but in any event not later than 10:30 a.m. Eastern time (x) on the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction or (y) on the date three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of a LIBOR Auction), notify the Borrower Representative of the terms (i) of any Bid Rate Quote submitted by a Revolving Lender that is in accordance with Section 2.3.(c) and (ii) of any Bid Rate Quote that amends, modifies or is otherwise inconsistent with a previous Bid Rate Quote submitted by such Revolving Lender with respect to the same Bid Rate Quote Request.  Any such subsequent Bid Rate Quote shall be disregarded by the Administrative Agent unless such subsequent Bid Rate Quote is submitted solely to correct a manifest error in such former Bid Rate Quote.  The Administrative Agent’s notice to the Borrower Representative shall specify (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Bid Rate Borrowing for which Bid Rate Quotes have been received and (B) the principal amounts and Absolute Rates or LIBOR Margins, as applicable, so offered by each Revolving Lender (identifying the Revolving Lender that made each Bid Rate Quote).

(e)                                  Acceptance by Borrower Representative.

(i)                                     Not later than 11:00 a.m. Eastern time (x) on the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction and (y) on the date three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of a LIBOR Auction, the Borrower Representative shall

43

notify the Administrative Agent of its acceptance or nonacceptance of the Bid Rate Quotes so notified to it pursuant to Section 2.3.(d). which notice shall be in the form of Exhibit M.  In the case of acceptance, such notice shall specify the aggregate principal amount of Bid Rate Quotes for each Interest Period that are accepted.  The failure of the Borrower Representative to give such notice by such time shall constitute nonacceptance.  The Borrower Representative may accept any Bid Rate Quote in whole or in part; provided that:

(A)                               the aggregate principal amount of each Bid Rate Borrowing may not exceed the applicable amount set forth in the related Bid Rate Quote Request;

(B)                               the aggregate principal amount of each Bid Rate Borrowing shall comply with the provisions of Section 2.3.(b)(ii) and together with all other Bid Rate Loans then outstanding shall not cause the limits specified in Section 2.18. to be violated;

(C)                               acceptance of Bid Rate Quotes may be made only in ascending order of Absolute Rates or LIBOR Margins, as applicable, in each case beginning with the lowest rate so offered;

(D)                               any acceptance in part by the Borrower Representative shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof; and

(E)                                the Borrower Representative may not accept any Bid Rate Quote that fails to comply with Section 2.3.(c) or otherwise fails to comply with the requirements of this Agreement.

(ii)                                  If Bid Rate Quotes are made by two or more Revolving Lenders with the same Absolute Rates or LIBOR Margins, as applicable, for a greater aggregate principal amount than the amount in respect of which Bid Rate Quotes are permitted to be accepted for the related Interest Period, the principal amount of Bid Rate Loans in respect of which such Bid Rate Quotes  are accepted shall be allocated by the Administrative Agent among such Revolving Lenders in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of such Bid Rate Quotes.  Determinations by the Administrative Agent of the amounts of Bid Rate Loans shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(f)                                   Obligation to Make Bid Rate Loans.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly (and in any event not later than (x) 12:00 noon Eastern time on the proposed date of borrowing of Absolute Rate Loans and (y) on the date three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing of LIBOR Margin Loans) notify each Revolving Lender as to whose Bid Rate Quote has been accepted and the amount and rate thereof.  A Revolving Lender who is notified that it has been selected to make a Bid Rate Loan may designate its Designated Lender (if any) to fund such Bid Rate Loan on its behalf, as described in Section 12.5.(h). Any Designated Lender which funds a Bid Rate Loan shall on and after the time of such funding become the obligee in respect of such Bid Rate Loan and be entitled to receive payment thereof when due.  No Revolving Lender shall be relieved of its obligation to fund a Bid Rate Loan, and no Designated Lender shall assume such obligation, prior to the time the applicable Bid Rate Loan is funded.  Any Revolving Lender whose offer to make any Bid Rate Loan has been accepted shall, not later than 1:30 p.m. Eastern time on the date specified for the making of such Loan, make the amount of such Loan available to the Administrative Agent at its Principal Office in immediately available funds, for the account of the Borrower to whom such Bid Rate Loan is to be made.  The amount so received by the Administrative Agent shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be made available to such Borrower not later than 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on such date by depositing the same, in immediately available funds, in an account of such Borrower designated by the Borrower Representative.

44

(g)                                  No Effect on Commitment.  Except for the purpose and to the extent expressly stated in Sections 2.13. and 2.18., the amount of any Bid Rate Loan made by any Revolving Lender shall not constitute a utilization of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment.

Section 2.4.  Letters of Credit.

(a)                                 Letters of Credit.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation, Section 2.18., each Issuing Bank, on behalf of the Revolving Lenders, agrees to issue for the accounts of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries during the period from and including the Effective Date to, but excluding, the date thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Termination Date, one or more standby letters of credit (each a “Letter of Credit”) up to a maximum aggregate Stated Amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed $200,000,000 as such amount may be reduced from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof (the “L/C Commitment Amount”); provided, that an Issuing Bank shall not be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, the aggregate Stated Amount of the outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank would exceed 25.0% of the L/C Commitment Amount.

(b)                                 Terms of Letters of Credit.  At the time of issuance, the amount, form, terms and conditions of each Letter of Credit, and of any drafts or acceptances thereunder, shall be subject to approval by the applicable Issuing Bank and the Borrower Representative.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may (i) the expiration date of any Letter of Credit extend beyond the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Termination Date, or (ii) any Letter of Credit have an initial duration in excess of one year; provided, however, a Letter of Credit may contain a provision providing for the automatic extension of the expiration date in the absence of a notice of non-renewal from such Issuing Bank but in no event shall any such provision permit the extension of the expiration date of such Letter of Credit beyond the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Termination Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Letter of Credit may, as a result of its express terms or as the result of the effect of an automatic extension provision, have an expiration date of not more than one year beyond the Revolving Termination Date (in which case, such Letter of Credit shall be an “Extended Letter of Credit”), so long as the Borrowers deliver to the Administrative Agent for its benefit and the benefit of such Issuing Bank and the Lenders no later than 30 days prior to the Revolving Termination Date Cash Collateral for such Letter of Credit for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account in an amount equal to the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit.  If the Borrowers fail to provide Cash Collateral with respect to any Extended Letter of Credit by the date 30 days prior to the Revolving Termination Date, such failure shall be treated as a drawing under such Extended Letter of Credit (in an amount equal to the maximum Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit), which shall be reimbursed (or participations therein funded) in accordance with the immediately following subsections (i) and (j), with the proceeds being utilized to provide Cash Collateral for such Letter of Credit.  The initial Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall be at least $100,000 (or such lesser amount as may be acceptable to such Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative).

(c)                                  Requests for Issuance of Letters of Credit.   The Borrower Representative shall give the Issuing Bank selected by the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent written notice (or a telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to such Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent in their sole discretion) prior to the requested date of issuance of a Letter of Credit, such notice to describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Letter of Credit and the nature of the transactions or obligations proposed to be supported by such Letter of Credit, and in any event shall set forth with respect to such Letter of Credit the proposed (i) Borrower or Subsidiary for whose account such Letter of Credit is to be issued, (ii) initial Stated Amount, (iii) beneficiary, and (iv) expiration date. The Borrower or Subsidiary for whose account a Letter

of Credit is to be issued shall also execute and deliver such customary applications and agreements for standby letters of credit, and other forms as requested from time to time by such Issuing Bank; provided that in the case of a Letter of Credit issued for the account of a Subsidiary, a Borrower shall co-sign the application for such Letter of Credit.  Provided the Borrower Representative has given the notice prescribed by the first sentence of this subsection and the applicable Borrower or Subsidiary has delivered such applications and agreements referred to in the preceding sentence, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the satisfaction of any applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.2., such Issuing Bank shall issue the requested Letter of Credit on the requested date of issuance for the benefit of the stipulated beneficiary but in no event shall such issuance be required prior to the date five (5) Business Days following the date after which such Issuing Bank has received all of the items required to be delivered to it under this subsection.  No Issuing Bank shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Bank or any Revolving Lender to exceed any limits imposed by, any Applicable Law.  References herein to “issue” and derivations thereof with respect to Letters of Credit shall also include extensions or modifications of any outstanding Letters of Credit, unless the context otherwise requires.  Upon the written request of the Borrower Representative, the applicable Issuing Bank shall deliver to the Borrower Representative a copy of each issued Letter of Credit issued by it within a reasonable time after the date of issuance thereof.  To the extent any term of a Letter of Credit Document is inconsistent with a term of any Loan Document, the term of such Loan Document shall control.

(d)                                 Reimbursement Obligations.  Upon receipt by the applicable Issuing Bank from the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of any demand for payment under such Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent of the amount to be paid by such Issuing Bank as a result of such demand and the date on which payment is to be made by such Issuing Bank to such beneficiary in respect of such demand; provided, however, that such Issuing Bank’s failure to give, or delay in giving, such notice shall not discharge any Borrower in any respect from the applicable Reimbursement Obligation.  Each Borrower hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably, and jointly and severally, agrees to pay and reimburse such Issuing Bank for the amount of each demand for payment under any such Letter of Credit at or prior to the date on which payment is to be made by such Issuing Bank to the beneficiary thereunder, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind.  Each Borrower confirms that it shall be obligated to reimburse such Issuing Bank hereunder for any and all drawings under any Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder in support of any obligations of, or for the account of, a Subsidiary.  Upon receipt by the applicable Issuing Bank of any payment in respect of any Reimbursement Obligation, such Issuing Bank shall promptly pay to each Revolving Lender that has acquired a participation therein under the second sentence of the immediately following subsection (i) such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such payment.

(e)                                  Manner of Reimbursement.  Upon its receipt of a notice referred to in the immediately preceding subsection (d), the Borrower Representative shall advise the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank whether or not the applicable Borrower intends to borrow hereunder to finance its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank for the amount of the related demand for payment and, if it does, the Borrower Representative shall submit a timely request for such borrowing as provided in the applicable provisions of this Agreement.  If the Borrower Representative fails to so advise the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank, or if the Borrowers fail to reimburse such Issuing Bank for a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit by the date of such payment, the failure of which such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, then (i) if the applicable conditions contained in Article V. would permit the making of Revolving Loans, the Borrower for whose account such Letter of Credit was issued shall be deemed to have requested a borrowing of Revolving Loans (which shall be Base Rate Loans) in an amount equal to the unpaid Reimbursement Obligation, and the Administrative Agent shall give each Revolving Lender prompt notice of the amount of the Revolving Loan to be made available by such Revolving Lender to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m.

46

Eastern time and (ii) if such conditions would not permit the making of Revolving Loans, the provisions of subsection (j) of this Section shall apply.  The limitations set forth in the second sentence of Section 2.1.(a) shall not apply to any borrowing of Base Rate Loans under this subsection.

(f)                                   Effect of Letters of Credit on Commitments.  Upon the issuance by any Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit and until such Letter of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, the Revolving Commitment of each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to be utilized for all purposes of this Agreement in an amount equal to the product of (i) such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage and (ii) the sum of (A) the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit plus (B) any related Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding.

(g)                                  Issuing Banks’ Duties Regarding Letters of Credit; Unconditional Nature of Reimbursement Obligations.  In examining documents presented in connection with drawings under Letters of Credit and making payments under such Letters of Credit against such documents, the applicable Issuing Bank shall only be required to use the same standard of care as it uses in connection with examining documents presented in connection with drawings under letters of credit in which it has not sold participations and making payments under such letters of credit.  Each Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, none of the applicable Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders shall be responsible for, and the Borrowers’ obligations in respect of Letters of Credit shall not be affected in any manner by, (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effects of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of or any drawing honored under any Letter of Credit even if such document should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) 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) failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, facsimile, electronic mail, telecopy or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) 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) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds of any drawing under any Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders.  None of the above shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of such Issuing Bank’s or the Administrative Agent’s rights or powers hereunder.  Any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment), shall not create against such Issuing Bank any liability to any Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender.  In this connection, the obligation of each Borrower to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for any drawing made under any Letter of Credit, and to repay any Revolving Loan made pursuant to the second sentence of the immediately preceding subsection (e), shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any other applicable Letter of Credit Document under all circumstances whatsoever, including without limitation, the following circumstances: (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit Document or any term or provisions therein; (B) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the Letter of Credit Documents; (C) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which any Borrower may have at any time against such Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or in the Letter of Credit Documents or any unrelated transaction; (D) any breach of contract or dispute between any Borrower

47

such Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person; (E) any demand, statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein or made in connection therewith being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (F) any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; (G) payment by such Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and (H) any other act, omission to act, delay or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable defense to or discharge of any Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section or Section 12.9., but not in limitation of each Borrower’s unconditional obligation to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for any drawing made under a Letter of Credit as provided in this Section and to repay any Revolving Loan made pursuant to the second sentence of the immediately preceding subsection (e), no Borrower shall have any obligation to indemnify the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or any Lender in respect of any liability incurred by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender arising solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender in respect of a Letter of Credit as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment.  Except as otherwise provided in this Section, nothing in this Section shall affect any rights that any Borrower may have with respect to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or any Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit.

(h)                                 Amendments, Etc.  The issuance by the applicable Issuing Bank of any amendment, supplement or other modification to any Letter of Credit shall be subject to the same conditions applicable under this Agreement to the issuance of new Letters of Credit (including, without limitation, that the request therefor be made through such Issuing Bank), and no such amendment, supplement or other modification shall be issued unless either (i) the respective Letter of Credit affected thereby would have complied with such conditions had it originally been issued hereunder in such amended, supplemented or modified form or (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders required by Section 12.6. shall have consented thereto.  In connection with any such amendment, supplement or other modification, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay the fees, if any, payable under the last sentence of Section 3.5.(e).

(i)                                     Lenders’ Participation in Letters of Credit.   Each Revolving Lender, immediately upon the issuance by the applicable Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit (or in the case of Existing Letters of Credit, upon the Agreement Date), shall be deemed to have absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from such Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the liability of such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit and each Lender thereby shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as surety, and shall be unconditionally obligated to such Issuing Bank to pay and discharge when due, such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such Issuing Bank’s liability under such Letter of Credit.  In addition, upon the making of each payment by a Revolving Lender to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank in respect of any Letter of Credit pursuant to the immediately following subsection (j), such Lender shall, automatically and without any further action on the part of such Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or such Revolving Lender, acquire (i) a participation in an amount equal to such payment in the Reimbursement Obligation owing to such Issuing Bank in respect of such Letter of Credit and (ii) a participation in a percentage equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage in any interest or other amounts payable by any Borrower in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation (other than the Fees payable to such Issuing Bank pursuant to the second and the last sentences of Section 3.5.(e)).

48

(j)                                    Payment Obligation of Lenders.  Each Revolving Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, on demand in immediately available funds in Dollars the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of each drawing paid by such Issuing Bank under each Letter of Credit to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by the applicable Borrower pursuant to the immediately preceding subsection (d); provided, however, that in respect of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, subject to Section 3.9(d), the maximum amount that any Revolving Lender shall be required to fund, whether as a Revolving Loan or as a participation, shall not exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such drawing.  If the notice referenced in the second sentence of Section 2.4.(e) is received by a Revolving Lender not later than 12:00 noon Eastern time, then such Revolving Lender shall make such payment available to the Administrative Agent not later than 3:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date of demand therefor; otherwise, such payment shall be made available to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. Eastern time on the next succeeding Business Day.  Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make payments to the Administrative Agent under this subsection and in respect of its participation interest under the immediately preceding subsection (i), and the Administrative Agent’s right to receive the same for the account of such Issuing Bank, shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and shall not be affected in any way by any circumstance whatsoever, including without limitation, (i) the failure of any other Revolving Lender to make its payment under this subsection, (ii) the financial condition of any Borrower or any other Loan Party or any Subsidiary, (iii) the existence of any Default or Event of Default, including any Event of Default described in Section 10.1.(e) or (f), (iv) the termination of the Revolving Commitments or (v) the delivery of Cash Collateral in respect of any Extended Letter of Credit.  Each such payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or deduction whatsoever.

(k)                                 Information to Lenders.  Promptly following any change in Letters of Credit outstanding, the applicable Issuing Bank shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, who shall promptly deliver the same to each Revolving Lender and the Borrower Representative, a notice describing the aggregate amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding at such time.  Upon the request of any Revolving Lender from time to time, such Issuing Bank shall deliver any other information reasonably requested by such Lender with respect to each Letter of Credit then outstanding.  Other than as set forth in this subsection, such Issuing Bank shall have no duty to notify the Lenders regarding the issuance or other matters regarding Letters of Credit issued hereunder.  The failure of such Issuing Bank to perform its requirements under this subsection shall not relieve any Revolving Lender from its obligations under the immediately preceding subsection (j).

(l)                                     Existing Letters of Credit.  Each of the Borrowers, the Issuing Banks and the Revolving Lenders agrees that each of the letters of credit described on Schedule 2.4.(l) (each an “Existing Letter of Credit”) shall, from and after the Original Effective Date, be deemed to be a Letter of Credit issued under this Agreement and shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(m)                             Extended Letters of Credit.  Each Revolving Lender confirms that its obligations under the immediately preceding subsections (i) and (j) shall be reinstated in full and apply if the delivery of any Cash Collateral in respect of an Extended Letter of Credit is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise.

Section 2.5.  Swingline Loans.

(a)                                 Swingline Loans.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, including without limitation Section 2.18., each Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrowers, during

49

the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Swingline Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to, but not exceeding, the lesser of (i) $50,000,000 and (ii) the commitment of such Swingline Lender in its capacity as a Revolving Lender minus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans made by such Swingline Lender, as such amounts may be reduced from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof.  If at any time the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans outstanding at such time exceeds the Swingline Commitment of such Swingline Lender at such time, the Borrowers shall immediately pay the Administrative Agent for the account of such Swingline Lender the amount of such excess.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans hereunder.

(b)                                 Procedure for Borrowing Swingline Loans.  The Borrower Representative shall give the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender selected by the Borrower Representative notice pursuant to a Notice of Swingline Borrowing or telephonic notice of each borrowing of a Swingline Loan.  Each Notice of Swingline Borrowing shall identify the Borrower to obtain the applicable Swingline Loan and shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Swingline Lender no later than 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on the proposed date of such borrowing.  Any telephonic notice shall include all information to be specified in a written Notice of Swingline Borrowing and shall be promptly confirmed in writing by the Borrower Representative pursuant to a Notice of Swingline Borrowing sent the Administrative Agent and to such Swingline Lender by telecopy on the same day of the giving of such telephonic notice.  Not later than 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date of the requested Swingline Loan and subject to satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.2. for such borrowing, the applicable Swingline Lender will make the proceeds of such Swingline Loan available to the applicable Borrower in Dollars, in immediately available funds, at the account specified by the Borrower Representative in the Notice of Swingline Borrowing.

(c)                                  Interest.  Swingline Loans shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans or at such other rate or rates as the Borrower Representative and the applicable Swingline Lender may agree from time to time in writing.  Interest on Swingline Loans is solely for the account of the Swingline Lender that made such Swingline Loans (except to the extent a Revolving Lender acquires a participating interest in a Swingline Loan pursuant to the immediately following subsection (e)).  All accrued and unpaid interest on Swingline Loans shall be payable on the dates and in the manner provided in Section 2.6. with respect to interest on Base Rate Loans (except as the applicable Swingline Lender and the Borrower Representative may otherwise agree in writing in connection with any particular Swingline Loan).

(d)                                 Swingline Loan Amounts, Etc.  Each Swingline Loan shall be in the minimum amount of $100,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof, or such other minimum amounts agreed to by a Swingline Lender and the Borrower Representative.  Any voluntary prepayment of a Swingline Loan must be in integral multiples of $100,000 or the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans (or such other minimum amounts upon which the Swingline Lender that made such Swingline Loan and the Borrower Representative may agree) and in connection with any such prepayment, the Borrower Representative must give such Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent prior notice thereof (which may be by telephone (promptly followed by a written notice), telecopy or electronic mail)  no later than 1:00 p.m. Eastern time on the day of such prepayment.  The Swingline Loans shall, in addition to this Agreement, be evidenced by the Swingline Notes.

(e)                                  Repayment and Participations of Swingline Loans.  Each Borrower jointly and severally agrees to repay each Swingline Loan within one Business Day of demand therefor by the Swingline Lender that made such Swingline Loan and, in any event, within five (5) Business Days after the date such Swingline Loan was made; provided that the proceeds of a Swingline Loan may not be used to pay a

50

Swingline Loan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Borrower agrees to repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the Swingline Loans on the Swingline Maturity Date (or such earlier date as the Swingline Lender that made such Swingline Loan and the Borrower Representative may agree in writing).  In lieu of demanding repayment of any outstanding Swingline Loan from the Borrowers, the Swingline Lender that made such Swingline Loan may, on behalf of the Borrowers (which hereby irrevocably direct each applicable Swingline Lender to act on their behalf), request a borrowing of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans from the Revolving Lenders in an amount equal to the principal balance of such Swingline Loan.  The amount limitations contained in the second sentence of Section 2.1.(a) shall not apply to any borrowing of such Revolving Loans made pursuant to this subsection.  Such Swingline Lender shall give notice to the Administrative Agent of any such borrowing of Revolving Loans not later than 12:00 noon Eastern time at least one Business Day prior to the proposed date of such borrowing.  Promptly after receipt of such notice of borrowing of Revolving Loans from a Swingline Lender under the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the proposed borrowing.  Not later than 12:00 noon Eastern time on the proposed date of such borrowing, each Revolving Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office for the account of the applicable Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, the proceeds of the Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender.  The Administrative Agent shall pay the proceeds of such Revolving Loans to the applicable Swingline Lender, which shall apply such proceeds to repay such Swingline Loan.  If the Revolving Lenders are prohibited from making Revolving Loans required to be made under this subsection for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation, the occurrence of any of the Defaults or Events of Default described in Sections 10.1.(e) or (f), each Revolving Lender shall purchase from the applicable Swingline Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such Swingline Loan, by directly purchasing a participation in such Swingline Loan in such amount and paying the proceeds thereof to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Swingline Lender in Dollars and in immediately available funds.  A Revolving Lender’s obligation to purchase such a participation in a Swingline Loan shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including without limitation, (i) any claim of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or any other Person may have or claim against the Administrative Agent, any Swingline Lender or any other Person whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuation of a Default or Event of Default (including without limitation, any of the Defaults or Events of Default described in Sections 10.1. (e) or (f)), or the termination of any Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment, (iii) the existence (or alleged existence) of an event or condition which has had or could have a Material Adverse Effect, (iv) any breach of any Loan Document by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Borrower or any other Loan Party, or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.  If such amount is not in fact made available to the applicable Swingline Lender by any Revolving Lender, such Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon for each day from the date of demand thereof, at the Federal Funds Rate.  If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the applicable Swingline Lender’s demand therefor, and until such time as such Lender makes the required payment, such Swingline Lender shall be deemed to continue to have outstanding Swingline Loans in the amount of such unpaid participation obligation for all purposes of the Loan Documents (other than those provisions requiring the other Lenders to purchase a participation therein).  Further, such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Revolving Loans, and any other amounts due it hereunder, to the applicable Swingline Lender to fund Swingline Loans in the amount of the participation in Swingline Loans that such Lender failed to purchase pursuant to this Section until such amount has been purchased (as a result of such assignment or otherwise).

51

Section 2.6.  Rates and Payment of Interest on Loans.

(a)                                 Rates.  Each Borrower jointly and severally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made by such Lender to any Borrower for the period from and including the date of the making of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at the following per annum rates:

(i)                                     during such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate (as in effect from time to time), plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans of the applicable Class;

(ii)                                  during such periods as such Loan is a LIBOR Loan, at LIBOR for such Loan for the Interest Period therefor, plus the relevant Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans of the applicable Class;

(iii)                               if such Loan is an Absolute Rate Loan, at the Absolute Rate for such Loan for the Interest Period therefor quoted by the Lender making such Loan in accordance with Section 2.3.; and

(iv)                              if such Loan is a LIBOR Margin Loan, at LIBOR for such Loan for the Interest Period therefor plus the LIBOR Margin quoted by the Lender making such Loan in accordance with Section 2.3.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, while an Event of Default exists, each Borrower jointly and severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender and each Issuing Bank, as the case may be, interest at the Post-Default Rate on the outstanding principal amount of any Loan made by such Lender, on all Reimbursement Obligations and on any other amount payable by any Borrower hereunder or under the Notes held by such Lender to or for the account of such Lender (including without limitation, accrued but unpaid interest to the extent permitted under Applicable Law).

(b)                                 Payment of Interest. All accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal amount of each Loan shall be payable (i) monthly in arrears on the first day of each month, commencing with the first full calendar month occurring after the Effective Date and (ii) on any date on which the principal balance of such Loan is due and payable in full (whether at maturity, due to acceleration or otherwise).  Interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand.  All determinations by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on the Lenders and the Borrowers for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Section 2.7.  Number of Interest Periods.

There may be no more than 10 different Interest Periods for LIBOR Loans and Bid Rate Loans, collectively outstanding at the same time.

Section 2.8.  Repayment of Loans.

(a)                                 Revolving Loans.  Each Borrower jointly and severally agrees to repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the Revolving Loans on the Revolving Termination Date.

52

(b)                                 Term A Loans.  Each Borrower jointly and severally agrees to repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the Term A Loans on the Term A Loan Maturity Date.

(c)                                  Term B Loans.  Each Borrower jointly and severally agrees to repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the Term B Loans on the Term B Loan Maturity Date.

(d)                                 Bid Rate Loans.  Each Borrower jointly and severally agrees to repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued interest on, each Bid Rate Loan on the last day of the Interest Period of such Bid Rate Loan.

Section 2.9.  Prepayments.

(a)                                 Optional.

(i)                                     General.  Subject to Section 4.4. and Section 2.9.(a)(ii), any Borrower may prepay any Revolving Loan or Term Loan at any time without premium or penalty.  Except as required to comply with the provisions of Section 2.9.(b)(ii), a Bid Rate Loan may only be prepaid with the prior written consent of the Revolving Lender holding such Bid Rate Loan.  The Borrower Representative shall give the Administrative Agent at least two (2) Business Days prior notice (which may be by telephone (promptly followed by a written notice), telecopy or electronic mail) of the prepayment of any Revolving Loan or Term Loan.  Each voluntary prepayment of Revolving Loans or Term Loan shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the aggregate principal amount of such Class of Loans then outstanding).

(ii)                                  Prepayment Premium.  During the periods set forth below, the Borrowers may only prepay a Term B Loan, in whole or in part, at the prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount of the Term B Loans to be prepaid) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of prepayment:

The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the amount payable by it under this Section in connection with the prepayment of the Term B Loans is a reasonable calculation of the Lenders’ lost profits in view of the difficulties and impracticality of determining actual damages resulting from the prepayment of the Term B Loans.

(b)                                 Mandatory.

(i)                                     Revolving Commitment Overadvance.  If at any time the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and Bid Rate Loans, together with the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, exceeds the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay immediately upon demand to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders then holding Revolving Commitments (or if the Revolving Commitments have been terminated, then holding outstanding

53

Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans, Bid Rate Loans and/or Letter of Credit Liabilities), the amount of such excess.

(ii)                                  Bid Rate Facility Overadvance.  If at any time the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Bid Rate Loans exceeds one-half of the aggregate amount of all Revolving Commitments at such time, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay immediately upon demand to the Administrative Agent for the accounts of the applicable Lenders the amount of such excess.

(iii)                               Application of Mandatory Prepayments.  Amounts paid under the preceding subsection (b)(i) shall be applied to pay all amounts of principal outstanding on the Revolving Loans and any Reimbursement Obligations pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2. and if any Letters of Credit are outstanding at such time, the remainder, if any, shall be deposited into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account for application to any Reimbursement Obligations.  Amounts paid under the preceding subsection (b)(ii) shall be applied in accordance with Section 3.2.(g).  If any Borrower is required to pay any outstanding LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Margin Loans by reason of this Section prior to the end of the applicable Interest Period therefor, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay all amounts due under Section 4.4.

Section 2.10.  Continuation.

So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, any Borrower may on any Business Day, with respect to any LIBOR Loan, elect to maintain such LIBOR Loan or any portion thereof as a LIBOR Loan by selecting a new Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan.  Each Continuation of LIBOR Loans of the same Class shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount, and each new Interest Period selected under this Section shall commence on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period.  Each selection of a new Interest Period shall be made by the Borrower Representative giving to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Continuation not later than 12:00 noon Eastern time on the third Business Day prior to the date of any such Continuation.  Such notice of a Continuation shall be by telecopy, electronic mail or other similar form of communication in the form of a Notice of Continuation, specifying (a) the proposed date of such Continuation, (b) the LIBOR Loans and portions thereof subject to such Continuation and (c) the duration of the selected Interest Period, all of which shall be specified in such manner as is necessary to comply with all limitations on Loans outstanding hereunder.  Each Notice of Continuation shall be irrevocable by and binding on the Borrowers once given.  Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify each applicable Lender of the proposed Continuation.  If the Borrower Representative shall fail to select in a timely manner a new Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan in accordance with this Section, such Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, continue as a LIBOR Loan with an Interest Period of one month; provided, however that if a Default or Event of Default exists, such Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Loan notwithstanding the first sentence of Section 2.11. or such Borrower’s failure to comply with any of the terms of such Section.

Section 2.11.  Conversion.

Any Borrower may on any Business Day, upon the Borrower Representative giving of a Notice of Conversion to the Administrative Agent by telecopy, electronic mail or other similar form of communication, Convert all or a portion of a Loan of one Type into a Loan of another Type; provided, however, a Base Rate Loan may not be Converted into a LIBOR Loan if a Default or Event of Default exists.  Each Conversion of Base Rate Loans of the same Class into LIBOR Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount.

Each such Notice of Conversion shall be given not later than 12:00 noon Eastern time three (3) Business Days prior to the date of any proposed Conversion.  Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed Conversion.  Subject to the restrictions specified above, each Notice of Conversion shall be by telecopy, electronic mail or other similar form of communication in the form of a Notice of Conversion specifying (a) the requested date of such Conversion, (b) the Type of Loan to be Converted, (c) the portion of such Type and Class of Loan to be Converted, (d) the Type of Loan such Loan is to be Converted into and (e) if such Conversion is into a LIBOR Loan, the requested duration of the Interest Period of such Loan.  Each Notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowers once given.

Section 2.12.  Notes.

(a)                                 Notes.  Except in the case of a Revolving Lender that has requested that it not receive a Revolving Note, the Revolving Loans made by each Revolving Lender shall, in addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced by a Revolving Note, payable to such Revolving Lender, or its registered assignees, in a principal amount equal to the amount of its Revolving Commitment as originally in effect and otherwise duly completed.  Except in the case of a Revolving Lender that has requested that it not receive a Bid Rate Note, the Bid Rate Loans made by a Revolving Lender to the Borrowers shall, in addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced by a Bid Rate Note payable to such Revolving Lender, or its registered assignees.  The Swingline Loans made by a Swingline Lender to the Borrowers shall, in addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced by a Swingline Note payable to such Swingline Lender, or its registered assignees.  Except in the case of a Term Loan Lender that has requested that it not receive a Term Note, the Term Loans made by each Term Loan Lender shall, in addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced by a Term Note, payable to such Term Loan Lender, or its registered assignees, in a principal amount equal to the amount of its Term A Loan Commitment or Term B Loan Commitment, as applicable, as originally in effect and otherwise duly completed.

(b)                                 Records.  The date, amount, interest rate, Class, Type and duration of Interest Periods (if applicable) of each Loan made by each Lender to any Borrower, and each payment made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by such Lender on its books and such entries shall be binding on such Borrower absent manifest error; provided, however, that (i) the failure of a Lender to make any such record shall not affect the obligations of such Borrower under any of the Loan Documents and (ii) if there is a discrepancy between such records of a Lender and the records maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Sections 3.8. and 12.5.(c), in the absence of manifest error, the records maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Sections 3.8. and 12.5.(c) shall be controlling.

(c)                                  Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Mutilated Notes.  Upon receipt by the Borrower Representative of (i) written notice from a Lender that a Note of such Lender has been lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated, and (ii)(A) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, an unsecured agreement of indemnity from such Lender in form reasonably satisfactory to the Borrowers, or (B) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note, the Borrowers shall at their own expense execute and deliver to such Lender a new Note dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.

Section 2.13.  Voluntary Reductions of the Revolving Commitment.

The Borrowers shall have the right to terminate or reduce the aggregate unused amount of the Revolving Commitments (for which purpose use of the Revolving Commitments shall be deemed to include the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities and the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Bid Rate Loans and Swingline Loans) at any time and from time to time without penalty or premium upon not less than three (3) Business Days prior written notice (which may be by telecopy or

55

electronic mail) from the Borrower Representative to the Administrative Agent of each such termination or reduction, which notice shall specify the effective date thereof and the amount of any such reduction (which in the case of any partial reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall not be less than $50,000,000 and integral multiples of $10,000,000 in excess of that amount in the aggregate) and shall be irrevocable once given and effective only upon receipt by the Administrative Agent (a “Revolving Commitment Reduction Notice”); provided, however, a Revolving Commitment Reduction Notice may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of a refinancing of all outstanding Revolving Loans, in which case such Revolving Commitment Reduction Notice may be revoked by the Borrower Representative (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date of such Revolving Commitment Reduction Notice) if such condition is not satisfied.  Promptly after receipt of a Revolving Commitment Reduction Notice the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the proposed termination or Revolving Commitment reduction.  The Revolving Commitments, once reduced or terminated pursuant to this Section, may not be increased or reinstated.  The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay all interest and fees on the Revolving Loans accrued to the date of such reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Lenders, including but not limited to any applicable compensation due to each Revolving Lender in accordance with Section 4.4.

Section 2.14.  Extension of Revolving Termination Date.

The Borrowers shall have the right, exercisable two times, to extend the Revolving Termination Date by six months for each extension.  The Borrowers may exercise such right only by the Borrower Representative executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent at least 90 days but not more than 180 days prior to the current Revolving Termination Date, a written request for such extension (an “Extension Request”).  The Administrative Agent shall forward to each Revolving Lender a copy of the Extension Request delivered to the Administrative Agent promptly upon receipt thereof.  Subject to satisfaction of the following conditions, the Revolving Termination Date shall be extended for six months effective upon receipt of the Extension Request and payment of the fee referred to in the following clause (b): (a) immediately prior to such extension and immediately after giving effect thereto, (i) no Event of Default shall exist and no Default under any of subsections (a), (e) or (f) of Section 10.1. shall exist and (ii) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by each Borrower and each other Loan Party in the Loan Documents to which any of them is a party, shall be true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date of such extension with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances not prohibited under the Loan Documents and (b) the Borrowers shall have paid the Fees payable under Section 3.5.(f).

Section 2.15.  Expiration Date of Letters of Credit Past Revolving Commitment Termination.

If on the date the Revolving Commitments are terminated or reduced to zero (whether voluntarily, by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default or otherwise) there are any Letters of Credit outstanding hereunder and the aggregate Stated Amount of such Letters of Credit exceeds the balance of available funds on deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, then the Borrowers shall, on such date, pay to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, an amount of money equal to the amount of such excess.

56

Section 2.16.  Joint and Several Liability of the Borrowers.

(a)                                 The obligations of each Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to which any Borrower is a party shall be joint and several, and, accordingly, each Borrower confirms that it is liable for the full amount of the Obligations, regardless of whether incurred by such Borrower or any other Borrower.

(b)                                 Each Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders that the Borrowers, though separate legal entities, are mutually dependent on each other in the conduct of their respective businesses as an integrated operation and have determined it to be in their mutual best interests to obtain financing from the Lenders through their collective efforts.

(c)                                  None of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender shall be obligated or required before enforcing any Loan Document against a Borrower: (a)  to pursue any right or remedy it may have against any other Borrower or any other Person or commence any suit or other proceeding against any other Borrower or any other Person in any court or other tribunal; (b) to make any claim in a liquidation or bankruptcy of any other Borrower or any other Person; or (c) to make demand of any other Borrower or any other Person or to enforce or seek to enforce or realize upon any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender which may secure any of the Obligations.

(d)                                 It is the intent of each Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders that in any proceeding of the types described in Sections 10.1.(e) or 10.1.(f), a Borrower’s maximum obligation hereunder shall equal, but not exceed, the maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the obligations of such Borrower hereunder to be avoidable or unenforceable against such Borrower in such proceeding as a result of Applicable Law, including without limitation, (i) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in such proceeding, whether by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.  The Applicable Laws under which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the obligations of such Borrower hereunder shall be determined in any such proceeding are referred to as the “Avoidance Provisions”.  Accordingly, to the extent that the obligations of a Borrower hereunder would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Obligations for which such Borrower shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, as of the time any of the Obligations are deemed to have been incurred under the Avoidance Provisions, would not cause the obligations of such Borrower hereunder, to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions.  This subsection is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder to the maximum extent that would not cause the obligations of any Borrower hereunder to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, and no Borrower or any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section that would not otherwise be available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.

(e)                                  To the extent that any Borrower shall be required hereunder to pay any portion of the Obligations exceeding the greater of (a) the amount of the value actually received by such Borrower and its Subsidiaries from the Loans and other Obligations and (b) the amount such Borrower would otherwise have paid if such Borrower had paid the aggregate amount of Obligations (excluding the amount paid by any other Person) in the same proportion as such Borrower’s net worth on the date enforcement is sought hereunder bears to the aggregate net worth of all of the Borrowers on such date, then such Borrower shall be reimbursed by each other Borrower for the amount of such excess pro rata, based on the respective net worth of such other Borrower on such date.

57

(f)                                   Each Borrower assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the other Borrowers, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Borrower assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender shall have any duty whatsoever to advise any Borrower of information regarding such circumstances or risks.

Section 2.17.  Borrower Representative.

Each Borrower hereby appoints the Parent to act as its agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, with respect to all matters related to the borrowing and repayment of Loans, the issuance of Letters of Credit and the giving and receiving of notices under or in respect of the Loan Documents) (in such capacity, the “Borrower Representative”).  Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Borrower Representative may execute such documents as the Borrower Representative deems appropriate in its sole discretion, and with respect to any such document executed by only the Borrower Representative, each Borrower shall be bound by and obligated by all of the terms of any such document, (ii) any notice or other communication delivered by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder to the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have been delivered to each Borrower and (iii) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall accept (and shall be permitted to rely on) any document or agreement executed by the Borrowers or the Borrower Representative.  Each Borrower agrees that any action taken by the Borrower Representative without the consent of, or notice to, such Borrower shall not release or discharge such Borrower from its obligations hereunder.

Section 2.18.  Amount Limitations.

Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no Revolving Lender shall be required to make a Revolving Loan, no Swingline Lender shall be required to make any Swingline Loan, no Revolving Lender shall make any Bid Rate Loan, the Issuing Banks shall not be required to issue a Letter of Credit and no reduction of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 2.13. shall take effect, if immediately after the making of such Revolving Loan, the issuance of such Letter of Credit or such reduction in the Revolving Commitments:

(a)                                 the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans, Bid Rate Loans and Swingline Loans, together with the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, would exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments at such time; or

(b)                                 the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Bid Rate Loans would exceed 50.0% of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments at such time.

Section 2.19.  Increase in Commitments.

The Borrowers shall have the right at any time after Term Loan Availability Termination Date and (a) prior to the Revolving Termination Date, to request increases in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments, (b) prior to the Term A Loan Maturity Date, to request the making of additional Term A Loans (“Additional Term A Loans”) and (c) prior to the Term B Loan Maturity Date, to request the making of additional Term B Loans (“Additional Term B Loans” and, collectively with the Additional Term A Loans, “Additional Term Loans”), in each case, by the Borrower Representative providing written notice (which may be by telecopy or electronic mail) to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall be irrevocable once given; provided, however, that after giving effect to any increase in the Revolving Commitments and the making of any Additional Term Loans, the aggregate amount of the

58

Revolving Commitments and the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Term Loans shall not exceed $4,500,000,000 less (i) the amount of any voluntary reductions of the Revolving Commitments made pursuant to Section 2.13. and (ii) the amount of any optional prepayments of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.9.  Additional Term Loans shall be subject to the same terms and conditions of this Agreement that are applicable to all other Term Loans.  Each such increase in the Revolving Commitments must be in an aggregate minimum amount of $100,000,000 and integral multiples of $50,000,000 in excess thereof.  Each such request to make Additional Term Loans must be in an aggregate minimum amount of $25,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000 in excess thereof (or such other amounts as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers).  The Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower Representative, shall manage all aspects of the syndication of such increase in the Revolving Commitments or making of Additional Term Loans, as applicable, including decisions as to the selection of the existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders to be approached with respect to such increase in the Revolving Commitments or the making of Additional Term Loans, as applicable, and the allocations of the increase in the Revolving Commitments or making of Additional Term Loans, as applicable, among such existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders.  No Lender shall be obligated in any way whatsoever to increase its Revolving Commitment or provide a new Revolving Commitment or make an Additional Term Loan, and any new Lender becoming a party to this Agreement in connection with any such requested increase in the Revolving Commitments or the making of Additional Term Loans, as applicable, must be an Eligible Assignee.  If a new Revolving Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, or if any existing Lender is increasing its Revolving Commitment or making an initial Revolving Commitment, such Lender shall on the date it becomes a Revolving Lender hereunder (or in the case of an existing Revolving Lender, increases its Revolving Commitment) (and as a condition thereto) purchase from the other Revolving Lenders its Revolving Commitment Percentage or, in the case of a Revolving Lender increasing its Revolving Commitment, the amount of the increase in its Revolving Commitment Percentage (determined with respect to the Revolving Lenders’ respective Revolving Commitments and after giving effect to the increase of Revolving Commitments) of any outstanding Revolving Loans, by making available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such other Revolving Lenders, in same day funds, an amount equal to the sum of (A) the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loans to be purchased by such Revolving Lender, plus (B) the aggregate amount of payments previously made by the other Revolving Lenders under Section 2.4.(j) that have not been repaid, plus (C) interest accrued and unpaid to and as of such date on such portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loans.  The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Revolving Lenders amounts payable, if any, to such Revolving Lenders under Section 4.4. as if such purchase were a prepayment of any such Revolving Loans.  Effecting the increase of the Revolving Commitments or the making of Additional Term Loans under this Section is subject to the following conditions precedent: (x) no Default or Event of Default shall be in existence on the effective date of such increase in the Revolving Commitments or the making of such Additional Term Loans, (y) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by any Borrower or any other Loan Party in any Loan Document to which such Borrower or such other Loan Party is a party shall be true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on the effective date of such increase with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances specifically and expressly permitted hereunder, and (z) the Administrative Agent shall have received each of the following, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent:  (i) if not previously delivered to the Administrative Agent, copies certified by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of all corporate, partnership or other necessary action taken by the Borrowers to authorize such

59

increase in the Revolving Commitments or the borrowing of Additional Term Loans, as applicable; (ii) an opinion of counsel to the Borrowers and addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders covering such matters as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent; (iii) in the case of an increase in the Revolving Commitments, new Revolving Notes executed by the Borrowers, payable to any new Revolving Lenders and replacement Revolving Notes executed by the Borrowers, payable to any existing Revolving Lenders increasing their Revolving Commitments, in the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment at the time of the effectiveness of the applicable increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments (in each case unless any such Revolving Lender requests not to receive such a Note); and (iv) in the case of the making of Additional Term Loans, new Term Notes executed by the Borrowers, payable to any new Term Loan Lenders and replacement Term Notes executed by the Borrowers, payable to any existing Term Loan Lenders increasing their Term Loans, in the amount of such Term Loan Lender’s Term Loan (in each case unless any such Term Loan Lender requests not to receive such a Note).  In connection with any increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments or the making of any Additional Term Loans pursuant to this Section, any Lender becoming a party hereto shall (1) execute such documents and agreements as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and (2) in the case of any Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America, provide to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Swingline Lender, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other information as shall be necessary for the Administrative Agent to comply with “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation, the Patriot Act.

Section 2.20.  Funds Transfer Disbursements.

(a)                                 Generally.  Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of any Loan made by the Lenders or any of their Affiliates pursuant to the Loan Documents as requested by an authorized representative of such Borrower to any of the accounts designated in the Disbursement Instruction Agreement.  Each Borrower agrees to be bound by any transfer request: (i) authorized or transmitted by the Borrower Representative or such Borrower; or (ii) made in such Borrower’s name and accepted by the Administrative Agent in good faith and in compliance with these transfer instructions, even if not properly authorized by such Borrower.  Each Borrower further agrees and acknowledges that the Administrative Agent may rely solely on any bank routing number or identifying bank account number or name provided by the Borrower Representative or such Borrower to effect a wire or funds transfer even if the information provided by the Borrower Representative or such Borrower identifies a different bank or account holder than named by the Borrower Representative or such Borrower.  The Administrative Agent is not obligated or required in any way to take any actions to detect errors in information provided by the Borrower Representative or any Borrower.  If the Administrative Agent takes any actions in an attempt to detect errors in the transmission or content of transfer requests or takes any actions in an attempt to detect unauthorized funds transfer requests, each Borrower agrees that no matter how many times the Administrative Agent takes these actions the Administrative Agent will not in any situation be liable for failing to take or correctly perform these actions in the future and such actions shall not become any part of the transfer disbursement procedures authorized under this provision, the Loan Documents, or any agreement between the Administrative Agent and any Borrower.  Each Borrower agrees to notify the Administrative Agent of any errors in the transfer of any funds or of any unauthorized or improperly authorized transfer requests within fourteen (14) days after the Administrative Agent’s confirmation to the Borrower Representative or such Borrower of such transfer.

(b)                                 Funds Transfer.  The Administrative Agent will, in its sole discretion, determine the funds transfer system and the means by which each transfer will be made.  The Administrative Agent may delay or refuse to accept a funds transfer request if the transfer would: (i) violate the terms of this authorization, (ii) require use of a bank unacceptable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or

60

prohibited by any Governmental Authority, (iii) cause the Administrative Agent or any Lender to violate any Federal Reserve or other regulatory risk control program or guideline or (iv) otherwise cause the Administrative Agent or any Lender to violate any Applicable Law or regulation.

(c)                                  Limitation of Liability.  None of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender shall be liable to any Borrower or any other parties for (i) errors, acts or failures to act of others, including other entities, banks, communications carriers or clearinghouses, through which any Borrower’s transfers may be made or information received or transmitted, and no such entity shall be deemed an agent of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, (ii) any loss, liability or delay caused by fires, earthquakes, wars, civil disturbances, power surges or failures, acts of government, labor disputes, failures in communications networks, legal constraints or other events beyond Administrative Agent’s, any Issuing Bank’s or any Lender’s control, or (iii) any special, consequential, indirect or punitive damages, whether or not (x) any claim for these damages is based on tort or contract or (y) the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Borrower knew or should have known the likelihood of these damages in any situation.  None of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender makes any representations or warranties other than those expressly made in this Agreement.

ARTICLE III. PAYMENTS, FEES AND OTHER GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 3.1.  Payments.

(a)                                 Payments by Borrowers.  Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest, Fees and other amounts to be made by any Loan Party under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim (excluding Taxes required to be withheld pursuant to Section 3.10.), to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, not later than 12:00 noon Eastern time on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day).  Subject to Section 10.5., each Borrower shall, at the time of such Borrower’s making a payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, specify to the Administrative Agent the amounts payable by such Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied.  Each payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender under this Agreement or any Note shall be paid to such Lender by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wiring instructions provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent from time to time, for the account of such Lender at the applicable Lending Office of such Lender.  Each payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of any Issuing Bank under this Agreement shall be paid to such Issuing Bank by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wiring instructions provided by such Issuing Bank to the Administrative Agent from time to time, for the account of such Issuing Bank.  In the event the Administrative Agent fails to pay such amounts to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, within one Business Day of receipt of such amounts, the Administrative Agent shall pay interest on such amount until paid at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.  If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall continue to accrue at the rate, if any, applicable to such payment for the period of such extension.

(b)                                 Presumptions Regarding Payments by Borrowers.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower Representative prior to the date on which any payment is due from a Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case

61

may be, the amount due.  In such event, if such Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent on demand that amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

Section 3.2.  Pro Rata Treatment.

Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each borrowing from the Revolving Lenders under Sections 2.1.(a), 2.4.(e) and 2.5.(e) shall be made from the Revolving Lenders, each payment of the fees under Section 3.5.(b), the first sentence of 3.5.(e), and Section 3.5.(f) shall be made for the account of the Revolving Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Revolving Commitments under Section 2.13. shall be applied to the respective Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Revolving Commitments; (b) each payment or prepayment of principal of Revolving Loans shall be made for the account of the Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Revolving Loans held by them, provided that, subject to Section 3.9., if immediately prior to giving effect to any such payment in respect of any Revolving Loans the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans shall not be held by the Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments in effect at the time such Revolving Loans were made, then such payment shall be applied to the Revolving Loans in such manner as shall result, as nearly as is practicable, in the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans being held by the Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments; (c) the making of Term Loans under Section 2.2.(a) shall be made from the Term Loan Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Term A Loan Commitments or Term B Loan Commitments; (d) each payment or prepayment of principal of Term Loans shall be made for the account of the Term Loan Lenders, pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Term Loans held by them; (e) each payment of interest on Revolving Loans or Term Loans shall be made for the account of the Revolving Lenders or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Revolving Loans or Term Loans, as applicable, then due and payable to the respective Lenders; (f) the Conversion and Continuation of Revolving Loans or Term Loans, as applicable, of a particular Type (other than Conversions provided for by Sections 4.1.(c) and 4.5.) shall be made pro rata among the Revolving Lenders or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, according to the amounts of their respective Revolving Loans or Term Loans, as applicable, and the then current Interest Period for each Lender’s portion of each such Loan of such Type shall be coterminous; (g) each prepayment of principal of Bid Rate Loans by any Borrower pursuant to Section 2.9.(b)(ii) shall be made for account of the Lenders then owed Bid Rate Loans pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Bid Rate Loans then owing to each such Lender; (h) the Revolving Lenders’ participation in, and payment obligations in respect of, Swingline Loans under Section 2.5. shall be in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages; and (i) the Revolving Lenders’ participation in, and payment obligations in respect of, Letters of Credit under Section 2.4. shall be in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages.  All payments of principal, interest, fees and other amounts in respect of the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the applicable Swingline Lender only (except to the extent any Revolving Lender shall have acquired a participating interest in any such Swingline Loan pursuant to Section 2.5.(e), in which case such payments shall be pro rata in accordance with such participating interests).

62

Section 3.3.  Sharing of Payments, Etc.

If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan made by it to a Borrower under this Agreement or shall obtain payment on any other Obligation owing by a Borrower through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar right or otherwise or through voluntary prepayments directly to a Lender or other payments made by or on behalf of a Borrower to a Lender (other than any payment in respect of Specified Derivatives Obligations) not in accordance with the terms of  this Agreement and such payment should be distributed to other Lenders in accordance with Section 3.2. or Section 10.5., as applicable, such Lender shall promptly purchase from such other Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the applicable Loans made by such other Lenders or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such payment (net of any reasonable expenses which may actually be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such benefit) in accordance with the requirements of Section 3.2. or Section 10.5., as applicable.  To such end, all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.  Each Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation (or direct interest) in the Loans or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders may exercise all rights of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans in the amount of such participation.  Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of any Borrower.

Section 3.4.  Several Obligations.

No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender hereunder, and the failure of any Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder shall not relieve the obligation of any other Lender to make any Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.

Section 3.5.  Fees.

(a)                                 Closing Fee.  On the Effective Date, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent and each Lender all loan fees as have been agreed to in writing by any Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(b)                                 Facility Fees. During the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Revolving Termination Date, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Lenders a facility fee equal to the daily aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments (whether or not utilized) times a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Facility Fee. Such fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each January, April, July and October during the term of this Agreement and on the Revolving Termination Date or any earlier date of termination of the Revolving Commitments or reduction of the Revolving Commitments to zero.  Each Borrower acknowledges that the fee payable hereunder is a bona fide commitment fee and is intended as reasonable compensation to the Revolving Lenders for committing to make funds available to the Borrowers as described herein and for no other purposes.

(c)                                  Term A Loan Unused Fee.  During the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the earlier of (i) the date that the Term A Loans are borrowed pursuant to Section 2.2. or (ii) the last day

63

of the Term Loan Availability Period, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Term A Loan Lenders, an unused facility fee equal to the aggregate amount of the Term A Loan Commitments multiplied by a rate per annum equal to one-fourth of one percent (0.25%).  Such fee shall be computed on a daily basis and payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each month during the Term Loan Availability Period and on the Term Loan Availability Termination Date.

(d)                                 Term B Loan Unused Fee.  During the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the earlier of (i) the date that the Term B Loans are borrowed pursuant to Section 2.2. or (ii) the last day of the Term Loan Availability Period, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Term B Loan Lenders, an unused facility fee equal to the aggregate amount of the Term B Loan Commitments multiplied by a rate per annum equal to one-fourth of one percent (0.25%).  Such fee shall be computed on a daily basis and payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each month during the Term Loan Availability Period and on the Term Loan Availability Termination Date.

(e)                                  Letter of Credit Fees.  Each Borrower jointly and severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a letter of credit fee at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are LIBOR Loans times the daily average Stated Amount of each such Letter of Credit for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (x) to and including the date such Letter of Credit expires or is cancelled or (y) to but excluding the date such Letter of Credit is drawn in full.  In addition to such fees, each Borrower jointly and severally agrees to pay to the applicable Issuing Bank solely for its own account, a fronting fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued for its account equal to one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) of the initial Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit.  The fees provided for in this subsection shall be nonrefundable and payable, in the case of the fee provided for in the first sentence, in arrears (i) quarterly on the first day of each January, April, July and October, (ii) on the Revolving Termination Date, (iii) on the date the Revolving Commitments are terminated or reduced to zero and (iv) thereafter from time to time on demand of the Administrative Agent, and in the case of the fee provided for in the second sentence, at the time of issuance of such Letter of Credit.  Each Borrower jointly and severally agrees to pay directly to the applicable Issuing Bank from time to time on demand all commissions, charges, costs and expenses in the amounts customarily charged or incurred by such Issuing Bank from time to time in like circumstances with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any other transaction relating thereto.

(f)                                   Revolving Credit Extension Fee.  If the Revolving Termination Date is being extended in accordance with Section 2.14., the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a fee equal to seventy-five thousandths of one percent (0.075%) of the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment (whether or not utilized).  Such fee shall be due and payable in full on the effective date of such extension.

(g)                                  Administrative and Other Fees.  Each Borrower jointly and severally agrees to pay the administrative and other fees of the Administrative Agent as provided in the Fee Letter with the Lender acting as Administrative Agent and as may be otherwise agreed to in writing from time to time by any Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

Section 3.6.  Computations.

Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, any accrued interest on any Loan, any Fees or any other Obligations due hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed.

64

Section 3.7.  Usury.

In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable on the Loans or other Obligations exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law and, if any such payment is paid by any Borrower or any other Loan Party or received by any Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless the Borrower Representative shall notify the respective Lender in writing that such Borrower elects to have such excess sum returned to it forthwith.  It is the express intent of the parties hereto that no Borrower pay and the Lenders not receive, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid by such Borrower under Applicable Law.  The parties hereto hereby agree and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon any Borrower for the use of money in connection with this Agreement is and shall be the interest specifically described in Section 2.6.(a)(i) through (iv) and, with respect to Swingline Loans, in Section 2.5.(c).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto further agree and stipulate that all agency fees, syndication fees, facility fees, closing fees, letter of credit fees, underwriting fees, default charges, late charges, funding or “breakage” charges, increased cost charges, attorneys’ fees and reimbursement for costs and expenses paid by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to third parties or for damages incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in each case, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, are charges made to compensate the Administrative Agent or any such Lender for underwriting or administrative services and costs or losses performed or incurred, and to be performed or incurred, by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and shall under no circumstances be deemed to be charges for the use of money.  All charges other than charges for the use of money shall be fully earned and nonrefundable when due.

Section 3.8.  Statements of Account.

The Administrative Agent will account to the Borrowers monthly with a statement of Loans, accrued interest and Fees, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such account rendered by the Administrative Agent shall be deemed conclusive upon the Borrowers absent manifest error.  The failure of the Administrative Agent to deliver such a statement of accounts shall not relieve or discharge any Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 3.9.  Defaulting Lenders.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

(a)                                 Waivers and Amendments.  Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 12.6. and in the definition of Requisite Lenders, Requisite Revolving Lenders, Requisite Term A Loan Lenders or Requisite Term B Loan Lenders, as applicable.

(b)                                 Defaulting Lender Waterfall.  Any payment of principal, interest, Fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article X. or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.3. shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, if such Defaulting Lender is a Revolving Lender, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lenders hereunder; third, if such Defaulting Lender is a Revolving Lender, to Cash

65

Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposures with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with subsection (e) below; fourth, as the Borrower Representative may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) if such Defaulting Lender is a Revolving Lender, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with subsection (e) below; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender under Section 2.4.(j) in respect of Letters of Credit (such amounts “L/C Disbursements”), in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Article V. were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages (determined without giving effect to the immediately following subsection (d)).  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this subsection shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(c)                                  Certain Fees.

(i)                                     No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Fee payable under Section 3.5.(b), (c) or (d) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender and no Borrower shall be required to pay any such fee to a Defaulting Lender that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender.

(ii)                                  Each Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender shall be entitled to receive the Fee payable under Section 3.5.(e) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to the immediately following subsection (e).

(iii)                               With respect to any Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender pursuant to the immediately preceding clauses (i) or (ii), the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender that portion of any such Fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to the immediately following subsection (d),

66

(y) pay to each Issuing Bank and each Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such Fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank’s or Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure in respect of such Defaulting Lender, and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such Fee.

(d)                                 Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure.  If such Defaulting Lender is a Revolving Lender, all or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swingline Loans that has not been funded by such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders that are Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages (determined without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment.  Subject to Section  12.22., no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Revolving Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(e)                                  Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans.

(i)                                     If the reallocation described in the immediately preceding subsection (d) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, to prepay Swingline Loans made to the Borrowers in an amount equal to the applicable Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in this subsection.

(ii)                                  At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender, within 2 Business Days following the written request of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Banks (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to the immediately preceding subsection (d) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the aggregate Fronting Exposure of the Issuing Banks with respect to Letters of Credit issued and outstanding at such time.

(iii)                               Each Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Banks, and agree to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for such Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Liabilities, to be applied pursuant to the immediately following clause (iv).  If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the aggregate Fronting Exposure of the Issuing Banks with respect to Letters of Credit issued and outstanding at such time, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(iv)                              Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the

67

satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Liabilities (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(v)                                 Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this subsection following (x) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (y) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to the immediately preceding subsection (b), the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Issuing Banks may (but shall not be obligated to) agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and provided further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrowers, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

(f)                                   Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent and in the case of a Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Lender, the Swingline Lenders and the Issuing Banks, agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the applicable Class of the other applicable Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages (determined without giving effect to the immediately preceding subsection (d)), Term A Loan Commitment Percentages and Term B Loan Commitment Percentages, as applicable, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to Fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties and subject to Section  12.22., no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(g)                                  New Swingline Loans/Letters of Credit.  So long as any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swingline Lenders shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan and (ii) the Issuing Banks shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

(h)                                 Purchase of Defaulting Lender’s Commitment.  During any period that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrowers may, by the Borrower Representative giving notice (which may be by telephone (promptly followed by a written notice), telecopy or electronic mail) thereof to the Administrative Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, demand that such Defaulting Lender assign its Revolving Commitment or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.5.(b).  No party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee.  In addition, any Lender who is not a Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be obligated, in its sole discretion, to acquire the face amount of all or a portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, via an assignment subject to and in accordance with the

68

provisions of Section 12.5.(b).  In connection with any such assignment, such Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to effect such assignment, including an appropriate Assignment and Assumption and, notwithstanding Section 12.5.(b), shall pay to the Administrative Agent an assignment fee in the amount of $7,500; provided that the failure or unwillingness of such Defaulting Lender to execute the Assignment and Assumption and other necessary documents shall not prevent or delay such assignment and the Assignment and Assumption and other necessary documents shall be automatically deemed to be fully authorized and executed by the Defaulting Lender if such Defaulting Lender does not promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to effect such assignment (and, if such Lender fails to deliver any Notes held by it, such Notes shall automatically be deemed canceled and such Lender shall be required to indemnify the Borrowers for any liabilities incurred by the Borrowers by reason of the failure of such Lender to deliver such Notes).  The exercise by the Borrowers of their rights under this Section shall be at the Borrowers’ sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent or any of the other Lenders.

Section 3.10.  Taxes.

(a)                                 Defined Terms.  For purposes of this Section, the term “Lender” includes the Issuing Banks and the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.

(b)                                 Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower or any other Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law.  If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Borrower or other applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c)                                  Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower.  The Borrowers and the other Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d)                                 Indemnification by the Borrower.  The Borrowers and the other Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower Representative by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e)                                  Indemnification by the Lenders.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that a Borrower or another Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with

69

the provisions of Section 12.5. relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this subsection.

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

(g)                                  Status of Lenders.

(i)                                     Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in the immediately following clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)) shall not be required if in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii)                                  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(A)                               any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent), an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B)                               any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time

70

thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(I)                                   in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(II)                              an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8ECI;

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

(C)                               any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent), an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent) of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be

71

prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

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

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

(h)                                 Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection the payment of which would place such indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This subsection shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person or to apply for, seek or pursue any refund on behalf of the indemnifying party.

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

ARTICLE IV. YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.

Section 4.1.  Additional Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a)                                 Capital Adequacy.  If any Lender or any Participant determines that, as the result of a Regulatory Change, compliance with any law or regulation or with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or such Participant, or any corporation controlling such Lender or such Participant, as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s Commitments or its making or maintaining Loans or participating in Letters of Credit below the rate which such Lender or such Participant or such corporation controlling such Lender or such Participant could have achieved but for such compliance (taking into account the policies of such Lender or such Participant or such corporation with regard to capital), then from time to time, within thirty (30) days after written demand by such Lender or such Participant, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to such Lender or such Participant additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such Participant or such corporation controlling such Lender or such Participant to the extent that such Lender or such Participant determines such increase in capital is allocable to such Lender’s or such Participant’s obligations hereunder.

(b)                                 Additional Costs.  In addition to and not in limitation of the immediately preceding subsection, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay promptly to the Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender that it determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Margin Loans or its obligation to make any LIBOR Loans hereunder, any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Margin Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by such Lender of capital in respect of its LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Margin Loans or its Commitments (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any Regulatory Change that:  (i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Margin Loans or its Commitments (other than Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and Connection Income Taxes), or (ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirements (other than Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other similar reserve requirement applicable to any other category of liabilities or category of extensions of credit or other assets by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Margin Loans is determined to the extent utilized when determining LIBOR for such Loans) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, such Lender (or its parent corporation), or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitments of such Lender hereunder), or (iii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender (other than on account of Taxes) as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy).

(c)                                  Lender’s Suspension of LIBOR Loans and LIBOR Margin Loans.  Without limiting the effect of the provisions of the immediately preceding subsections (a) and (b), if by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Margin Loans is determined as provided in  this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such

73

Lender that includes LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Margin Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the Borrower Representative (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans and/or the obligation of a Revolving Lender that has outstanding a Bid Rate Quote to make LIBOR Margin Loans hereunder shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 4.5. shall apply).

(d)                                 Additional Costs in Respect of Letters of Credit.  Without limiting the obligations of the Borrowers under the preceding subsections of this Section (but without duplication), if as a result of any Regulatory Change or any risk-based capital guideline or other requirement heretofore or hereafter issued by any Governmental Authority there shall be imposed, modified or deemed applicable any tax, reserve, special deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against or with respect to or measured by reference to Letters of Credit (other than Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and Connection Income Taxes) and the result shall be to increase the cost to the Issuing Banks of issuing (or any Revolving Lender of purchasing participations in) or maintaining its obligation hereunder to issue (or purchase participations in) any Letter of Credit or reduce any amount receivable by any Issuing Bank or any Revolving Lender hereunder in respect of any Letter of Credit, then, upon demand by such Issuing Bank or such Lender, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay immediately to such Issuing Bank or, in the case of such Lender, to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Issuing Bank or such Lender, such additional amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate such Issuing Bank or such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amount.

(e)                                  Notification and Determination of Additional Costs.  Each of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Lender, and each Participant, as the case may be, agrees to notify the Borrower Representative (and in the case of an Issuing Bank, a Lender or a Participant, the Administrative Agent as well) of any event occurring after the Agreement Date entitling the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank, such Lender or such Participant to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section as promptly as practicable; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Participant to give such notice shall not release any Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender, a Participant or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender, such Participant or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower Representative of the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s, such Participant’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).  The Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Lender and each Participant, as the case may be, agrees to furnish to the Borrower Representative (and in the case of an Issuing Bank, a Lender or a Participant to the Administrative Agent as well) a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request for compensation under this Section.  Determinations by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank, such Lender, or such Participant, as the case may be, of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Section 4.2.  Suspension of LIBOR Loans and LIBOR Margin Loans.

(a)                                 Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of LIBOR for any Interest Period:

74

(i)                                     the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that (A) quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for LIBOR Loans as provided herein or (B) otherwise, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR (including, without limitation, because LIBOR is not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period;

(ii)                                  (A) the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of LIBOR upon the basis of which the rate of interest for LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period is to be determined are not likely to adequately cover the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period or (B) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Requisite Lenders (or, in the case of a LIBOR Margin Loan, the Lender that is required to make such Loan) that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of LIBOR upon the basis of which the rate of interest for LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period is to be determined are not likely to adequately cover the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their LIBOR Loans (or its LIBOR Loan) for such Interest Period; or

(iii)                               any Revolving Lender that has outstanding a Bid Rate Quote with respect to a LIBOR Margin Loan reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that LIBOR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Revolving Lender of making or maintaining such LIBOR Margin Loan;

then the Administrative Agent shall give the Borrower Representative and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, (i) the Lenders shall be under no obligation to, and shall not, make additional LIBOR Loans, Continue LIBOR Loans or Convert Loans into LIBOR Loans, and the Borrowers shall on the last day of each current Interest Period for each outstanding LIBOR Loan, either prepay such Loan or Convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan and (ii) in the case of clause (c) above, no Lender that has outstanding a Bid Rate Quote with respect to a LIBOR Margin Loan shall be under any obligation to make such Loan.

(b)                                 If at any time the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that the circumstances set forth in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 4.2.(a) (1) have arisen and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary or (2) have not arisen but the supervisor for the administrator of LIBOR or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall endeavor to establish an alternate rate of interest to LIBOR that gives due consideration to the then prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest for syndicated loans in the United States at such time, and shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to reflect such alternate rate of interest and such other related changes to this Agreement as may be applicable; provided that, if such alternate rate of interest shall be less than zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 12.6., such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the date a copy of the amendment is provided to the Lenders, a written notice from the Requisite Lenders stating that such Requisite Lenders object to such amendment.  Until an alternate rate of interest shall be determined in accordance with this clause (b) (but, in the case of the circumstances described in clause (2) of the first sentence of this clause (b), only to the extent LIBOR for such Interest Period is not available or published at such time on a current basis), (x) the Lenders shall be under no obligation to, and shall not, make additional LIBOR

75

Loans (and with respect to any Notice of Borrowing requesting a borrowing of a LIBOR Loan, such borrowing shall be made as a borrowing of a Base Rate Loan), Continue LIBOR Loans or Convert Loans into LIBOR Loans, and the Borrowers shall on the last day of each current Interest Period for each outstanding LIBOR Loan, either prepay such Loan or Convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan and (y) no Lender that has outstanding a Bid Rate Quote with respect to a LIBOR Margin Loan shall be under any obligation to make such Loan.

Section 4.3.  Illegality.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (a) if any Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that it is unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Loans hereunder and/or (b) if any Revolving Lender that has an outstanding Bid Rate Quote shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that it is unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Margin Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower Representative thereof (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended and/or such Revolving Lender’s obligation to make LIBOR Margin Loans shall be suspended, in each case, until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Margin Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 4.5. shall be applicable).

Section 4.4.  Compensation.

The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as the Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender for any loss, cost or expense attributable to:

(a)                                 any payment or prepayment (whether mandatory or optional) of a LIBOR Loan or a Bid Rate Loan by a Borrower, or Conversion of a LIBOR Loan made by such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, acceleration) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or

(b)                                 any failure by a Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any of the applicable conditions precedent specified in Section 5.2. to be satisfied) to borrow a LIBOR Loan or a Bid Rate Loan from such Lender on the date for such borrowing, or to Convert a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan or Continue a LIBOR Loan on the requested date of such Conversion or Continuation.

Not in limitation of the foregoing, such compensation shall include, without limitation, (i) in the case of a LIBOR Loan, an amount equal to the then present value of (A) the amount of interest that would have accrued on such LIBOR Loan for the remainder of the Interest Period at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Loan, less (B) the amount of interest that would accrue on the same LIBOR Loan for the same period if LIBOR were set on the date on which such LIBOR Loan was repaid, prepaid or Converted or the date on which a Borrower failed to borrow, Convert into or Continue such LIBOR Loan, as applicable, calculating present value by using as a discount rate LIBOR quoted on such date and (ii) in the case of a Bid Rate Loan, the sum of such losses and expenses as the Lender or Designated Lender who made such Bid Rate Loan may reasonably incur by reason of such prepayment, including without limitation any losses or expenses incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties.  Upon the Borrower Representative’s request, the Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower Representative

76

with a statement setting forth the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof.  Any such statement shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

Section 4.5.  Treatment of Affected Loans.

(a)                                 If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 4.1.(c), Section 4.2. or Section 4.3. then such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for LIBOR Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion required by Section 4.1.(c), Section 4.2., or Section 4.3. on such earlier date as such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, may specify to the Borrower Representative with a copy to the Administrative Agent, if applicable) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 4.1., Section 4.2. or Section 4.3. that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:

(i)                                     to the extent that such Lender’s LIBOR Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and

(ii)                                  all Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as LIBOR Loans shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into LIBOR Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.

If such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, gives notice to the Borrower Representative (with a copy to the Administrative Agent, if applicable) that the circumstances specified in Section 4.1.(c) or 4.3. that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section no longer exist (which such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBOR Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, then such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding LIBOR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Class, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.

(b)                                 If the obligation of a Revolving Lender to make LIBOR Margin Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 4.1.(c) or 4.2., then the LIBOR Margin Loans of such Lender shall be automatically due and payable on such date as such Lender may specify to the Borrower Representative by written notice with a copy to the Administrative Agent.

Section 4.6.  Affected Lenders.

If (a) a Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 3.10. or 4.1., and the Requisite Lenders are not also doing the same, (b) the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 4.1.(c) or 4.3. but the obligation of the Requisite Lenders shall not have been suspended under such Sections or (c) a Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, then, so long as there does not then exist any Default or Event of Default, the Borrower Representative may demand that such Lender (the “Affected Lender”), and upon such demand the Affected Lender shall promptly, assign its Commitment or Commitments to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.5.(b) for a purchase price equal to (x) the aggregate principal balance of all Loans then owing to the Affected Lender, plus (y) the aggregate amount of payments previously made by the Affected Lender under Section 2.4.(j) that have not been

77

repaid, plus (z) any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to the Affected Lender, or any other amount as may be mutually agreed upon by such Affected Lender and Eligible Assignee.  Each of the Administrative Agent and the Affected Lender shall reasonably cooperate in effectuating the replacement of such Affected Lender under this Section, but at no time shall the Administrative Agent, such Affected Lender, any other Lender, or any Titled Agent be obligated in any way whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee; provided that the failure or unwillingness of such Affected Lender to execute the Assignment and Assumption and other necessary documents shall not prevent or delay such assignment and the Assignment and Assumption and other necessary documents shall be automatically deemed to be fully authorized and executed by the Affected Lender if such Affected Lender does not promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to effect such assignment (and, if such Lender fails to deliver any Notes held by it, such Notes shall automatically be deemed canceled and such Lender shall be required to indemnify the Borrowers for any liabilities incurred by the Borrowers by reason of the failure of such Lender to deliver such Notes).  The exercise by the Borrowers of their rights under this Section shall be at the Borrowers’ sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent, the Affected Lender or any of the other Lenders.  The terms of this Section shall not in any way limit any Borrower’s obligation to pay to any Affected Lender compensation owing to such Affected Lender pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 3.10., 4.1., or 4.4.) with respect to any period up to the date of replacement.

Section 4.7.  Change of Lending Office.

Each Lender agrees that it will use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate an alternate Lending Office with respect to any of its Loans affected by the matters or circumstances described in Sections 3.10., 4.1. or 4.3. to reduce the liability of the Borrowers or avoid the results provided thereunder, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, except that such Lender shall have no obligation to designate a Lending Office located in the United States of America.

Section 4.8.  Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Loans.

Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Article shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded LIBOR Loans through the purchase of deposits in the relevant market bearing interest at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Loans in an amount equal to the amount of the LIBOR Loans and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be used only for calculation of amounts payable under this Article.

ARTICLE VI. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

None of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Loan Party or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations.  To the extent that any Loan Party makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, or any Lender enforce their security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such recovery, the Guaranteed Obligations, or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

Section 10.5.  Allocation of Proceeds.

If an Event of Default exists, all payments received by the Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other amounts payable by any Loan Party hereunder or thereunder, shall be applied in the following order and priority:

(a)                                 amounts due to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders in respect of expenses due under Section 12.2. until paid in full, and then Fees until paid in full;

(b)                                 payments of interest on Swingline Loans;

(c)                                  payments of interest on all other Loans and on Reimbursement Obligations to be applied for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks;

(d)                                 payments of principal of Swingline Loans;

(e)                                  payments of principal of all other Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and other Letter of Credit Liabilities, and Specified Derivatives Obligations to be applied for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Specified Derivatives Providers, as the case may be; provided, however, to the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to this subsection are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of an outstanding Letter of Credit, such amounts shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account;

(f)                                   amounts due to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders pursuant to Sections 11.6. and 12.9. to be applied for the ratable benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders;

(g)                                  payments of all other Guaranteed Obligations and other amounts due under any of the Loan Documents, if any, to be applied for the ratable benefit of the Lenders; and

103

(h)                                 any amount remaining after application as provided above, shall be paid to the Borrowers or whomever else may be legally entitled thereto.

Section 10.6.  Letter of Credit Collateral Account.

(a)                                 As collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due of all Letter of Credit Liabilities and the other Obligations, each Borrower hereby pledges to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders as provided herein, and grants to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders as provided herein, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and the balances from time to time in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account (including the investments and reinvestments therein provided for below).  The balances from time to time in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall not constitute payment of any Letter of Credit Liabilities until applied by the Issuing Banks as provided herein.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall be subject to withdrawal only as provided in this Section.

(b)                                 Amounts on deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall be invested and reinvested by the Administrative Agent in such Cash Equivalents as the Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion.  All such investments and reinvestments shall be held in the name of and be under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders; provided, that all earnings on such investments will be credited to and retained in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account.  The Administrative Agent shall exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and shall be deemed to have exercised such care if such funds are accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Administrative Agent accords other funds deposited with the Administrative Agent, it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account.

(c)                                  If a drawing pursuant to any Letter of Credit occurs on or prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, each Borrower and the Lenders authorize the Administrative Agent to use the monies deposited in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account to reimburse each Issuing Bank for the payment made by such Issuing Bank to the beneficiary with respect to such drawing or the payee with respect to such presentment.

(d)                                 If an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent may (and, if instructed by the Requisite Revolving Lenders, shall) in its (or their) discretion at any time and from time to time elect to liquidate any such investments and reinvestments and apply the proceeds thereof to the Obligations in accordance with Section 10.5.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to liquidate and release any such amounts if such liquidation or release would result in the amount available in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account being less than the Stated Amount of all Extended Letters of Credit that remain outstanding.

(e)                                  So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, and to the extent amounts on deposit in or credited to the Letter of Credit Collateral Account exceed the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities then due and owing, the Administrative Agent shall, from time to time, at the request of the Borrower Representative, deliver to the Borrowers within 10 Business Days after the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such request from the Borrower Representative, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, such amount of the credit balances in the Letter of

104

Credit Collateral Account as exceeds the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities at such time.  Upon the expiration, termination or cancellation of an Extended Letter of Credit for which the Revolving Lenders reimbursed (or funded participations in) a drawing deemed to have occurred under the fourth sentence of Section 2.4.(b) for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account but in respect of which the Revolving Lenders have not otherwise received payment for the amount so reimbursed or funded, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Revolving Lenders the amount so reimbursed or funded for such Extended Letter of Credit that remains in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid reimbursements or funded participations of the Revolving Lenders in respect of such Extended Letter of Credit, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever.  When all of the Obligations (other than contingent Obligations that are not then due and payable) shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and no Letters of Credit remain outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrowers, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, the balances remaining in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account.

(f)                                   The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent from time to time such fees as the Administrative Agent normally charges for similar services in connection with the Administrative Agent’s administration of the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and investments and reinvestments of funds therein.

Section 10.7.  Performance by Administrative Agent.

If any Borrower or any other Loan Party shall fail to perform any covenant, duty or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent may, after notice to the Borrower Representative, perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of such Borrower or such other Loan Party after the expiration of any cure or grace periods set forth herein.  In such event, such Borrower or such other Loan Party shall, at the request of the Administrative Agent, promptly pay any amount reasonably expended by the Administrative Agent in such performance or attempted performance to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon at the applicable Post-Default Rate from the date of such expenditure until paid.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability or responsibility whatsoever for the performance of any obligation of any Borrower or any other Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Section 10.8.  Rights Cumulative.

(a)                                 The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, and the Lenders under this Agreement, each of the other Loan Documents, and the Fee Letters shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any of them may otherwise have under Applicable Law.  In exercising their respective rights and remedies the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders may be selective, and no failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any of the Lenders in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of it, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude its other or further exercise or the exercise of any other power or right.

(b)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Borrowers or any other Loan Party or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Article X. for the benefit of all the Lenders and the Issuing Banks; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from

105

exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lenders from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as an Issuing Bank or a Swingline Lender, as the case may be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 12.3. (subject to the terms of Section 3.3.), or (d) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Borrower or any other Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Requisite Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article X. and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 3.3., any Lender may, with the consent of the Requisite Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Requisite Lenders.

ARTICLE XI. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 11.1.  Appointment and Authorization.

Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders.  Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders.  Nothing herein shall be construed to deem the Administrative Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on the Administrative Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms “Agent”, “Administrative Agent”, “agent” and similar terms in the Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law.  Instead, use of such terms is merely a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.  The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender, promptly upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, copies of each of the financial statements, certificates, notices and other documents delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article VIII. that the Borrowers or any other Loan Party are not otherwise required to deliver directly to the Lenders.  The Administrative Agent will furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy (or, where appropriate, an original) of any document, instrument, agreement, certificate or notice furnished to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party or any Affiliate of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered or otherwise made available to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document.  As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of the Obligations), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the Obligations; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which

106

is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Law.  Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless the Requisite Lenders have directed the Administrative Agent otherwise.  Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or where applicable, all the Lenders.

Section 11.2.  ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo as Lender.

▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo, as a Lender or as a Specified Derivatives Provider, as the case may be, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any other Loan Document and under any Specified Derivatives Contract, as the case may be, as any other Lender or Specified Derivatives Provider and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo in each case in its individual capacity.  ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo and its Affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the Issuing Banks, other Lenders, or any other Specified Derivatives Providers.  Further, the Administrative Agent and any Affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from any Borrower or any other Loan Party for services in connection with this Agreement or any Specified Derivatives Contract, or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Issuing Banks, the other Lenders or any other Specified Derivatives Providers.  The Issuing Banks and the Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, ▇▇▇▇▇ Fargo or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any of the Borrowers, other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.

Section 11.3.  Approvals of Lenders.

All communications from the Administrative Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender’s determination, consent, approval or disapproval (a) shall be given in the form of a written notice to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by such Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials and, as appropriate, a brief summary of all oral information provided to the Administrative Agent by any Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved, and (d) shall include the Administrative Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof. Unless a Lender shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent that it specifically objects to the recommendation or determination of the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days (or such lesser or greater period as may be specifically required under the express terms of the Loan Documents) of receipt of such communication, such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination (other than in respect of any consent required under Section 12.6.(b)).

Section 11.4.  Notice of Events of Default.

The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower Representative or any other Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable

107

specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.”  If any Lender (excluding the Lender which is also serving as the Administrative Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly send to the Administrative Agent such a “notice of default”.  Further, if the Administrative Agent receives such a “notice of default,” the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.

Section 11.5.  Administrative Agent’s Reliance.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein or therein as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for the Borrowers or any other Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel: (a) makes any warranty or representation to any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Person, or shall be responsible to any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Person for any statement, warranty or representation made or deemed made by any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) shall have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of any Borrower or other Persons, or to inspect the property, books or records of any Borrower or any other Person; (c) shall be responsible to any Lender or any Issuing Bank for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or any collateral covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks in any such collateral; (d) shall have any liability in respect of any recitals, statements, certifications, representations or warranties contained in any of the Loan Documents or any other document, instrument, agreement, certificate or statement delivered in connection therewith; or (e) shall incur any liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties.  The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment.

Section 11.6.  Indemnification of Administrative Agent.

Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by any Borrower and without limiting the obligation of any Borrower to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent but not as a Lender) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by

108

the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment; provided, further, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders, if expressly required hereunder) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by any Borrower and without limiting the obligation of any Borrower to do so) promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the counsel to the Administrative Agent) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents, any suit or action brought by the Administrative Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect any Obligations, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws.  Such out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Administrative Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the Administrative Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Administrative Agent is not so entitled to indemnification.  The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement.  If any Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to the Administrative Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.

Section 11.7.  Lender Credit Decision, Etc.

Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties has made any representations or warranties to such Issuing Bank or such Lender and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Borrower, any other Loan Party, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Issuing Bank or any Lender.  Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks acknowledges that it has made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent, or any of their respective Related Parties, and based on the financial statements of the Borrowers, the other Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the Borrowers, the other Loan Parties the other Subsidiaries and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate.  Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Related Parties, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents.  The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by any Borrower or any other Loan Party of the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for therein or to inspect the properties or books of, or make any other investigation of, any Borrower, any other Loan Party

109

or any other Subsidiary.  Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or any Issuing Bank with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties.  Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks acknowledges that the Administrative Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Administrative Agent and is not acting as counsel to any Lender or any Issuing Bank.

Section 11.8.  Successor Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may (a) resign at any time as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower Representative or (b) be removed as administrative agent by all of the Lenders (other than the Lender then acting as Administrative Agent) and the Borrower Representative upon 30 days’ prior written notice if the Administrative Agent (i) is found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment to have committed gross negligence or willful misconduct in the course of performing its duties hereunder or (ii) has become or is insolvent or has become the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or has had a receiver, conservator, trustee or custodian appointed for it, or has taken any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any such proceeding or appointment.  Upon any such resignation or removal, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which appointment shall, provided no Default or Event of Default exists, be subject to the Borrower Representative’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (except that the Borrower Representative shall, in all events, be deemed to have approved each Lender and any of its Affiliates as a successor Administrative Agent).  If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after (a) the resigning Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, or (b) the Lenders’ giving of notice of removal, then the resigning or removed Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lender Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be an Eligible Assignee; provided, that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower Representative and the Lenders that no Lender or Eligible Assignee has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made to each Lender and each Issuing Bank directly, until such time as a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed as provided for above in this Section; provided, further, that such Lenders and Issuing Banks so acting directly shall be and be deemed to be protected by all indemnities and other provisions herein for the benefit and protection of the Administrative Agent as if each such Lender or such Issuing Bank were itself the Administrative Agent.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the current Administrative Agent, and the current Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents.  Such successor Administrative Agent shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or shall make other arrangements satisfactory to the current Administrative Agent, in either case, to assume effectively the obligations of the current Administrative Agent with respect to such Letters of Credit.  Any resignation by the Administrative Agent shall also constitute the resignation as an Issuing Bank and as a Swingline Lender

110

by the Lender then acting as Administrative Agent (the “Resigning Lender”).  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder (i) the Resigning Lender shall be discharged from all duties and obligations of an Issuing Bank and a Swingline Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) a successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for all Letters of Credit issued by the Resigning Lender as a Issuing Bank outstanding at the time of such succession (which letters of credit issued in substitutions shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued hereunder) or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Resigning Lender to effectively assume the obligations of the Resigning Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit.  After any Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XI. shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may assign its rights and duties under the Loan Documents to any of its Affiliates by giving the Borrower Representative and each Lender prior written notice.

Section 11.9.  Titled Agents.

No Titled Agent, in such capacity, assumes any responsibility or obligation hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of any of the Loans, or any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders.  The titles given to the Titled Agents are solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Titled Agents to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any Borrower or any other Loan Party and the use of such titles does not impose on the Titled Agents any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender.

Section 11.10.  Specified Derivatives Contracts.

Except as expressly provided in Section 12.6.(c), no Specified Derivatives Provider that obtains the benefits of Section 10.5. by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Loan Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of any Loan Document other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Specified Derivatives Contracts unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Specified Derivatives Contracts, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Specified Derivatives Provider.

Section 11.11.  Release of the Guarantor.

The Lender Parties authorize the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent shall, release the Guarantor from its Guaranty hereunder upon the earlier of (a) the contemporaneous release of the Guarantor as a guarantor or co-obligor with respect to all Indebtedness of Reckson, the Parent and SLGOP in respect of which Reckson is a guarantor or co-obligor and (b) the sale of Reckson, or merger of the Guarantor with and into SLGOP or Parent, in each case, as provided in Section 9.3.(d).

Section 12.2.  Expenses.

The Borrowers jointly and severally agree (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all of its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, any of the Loan Documents (including due diligence expense and reasonable travel expenses related to closing), and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and a single local counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in each relevant jurisdiction and all costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the use of IntraLinks, SyndTrak or other similar information transmission systems in connection with the Loan Documents, (b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders for all their reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under the Loan Documents and the Fee Letters, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of their respective counsel and any payments in indemnification or otherwise payable by the Lenders to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, that the Borrowers shall not be required to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel to the Administrative Agent and one separate counsel for the Lenders (in addition to fees and expenses for appropriate local or special counsel) in connection with such workout or enforcement or preservation unless an actual or perceived conflict of interest exists, (c) to pay, and indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any failure to pay or delay in paying, documentary, stamp, excise and other similar taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of any of the Loan Documents, or consummation of any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, any Loan Document and (d) to the extent not already covered by any of the preceding subsections, to pay or reimburse the fees and disbursements of counsel (subject to the same limitations set forth in the proviso to clause (b) above) to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank and any Lender incurred in connection with the representation of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender in any matter relating to or arising out of any bankruptcy or other proceeding of the type described in Sections 10.1.(e) or 10.1.(f), including, without limitation (i) any motion for relief from any stay or similar order, (ii) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of any document relating to the Obligations and (iii) the negotiation and preparation of any debtor-in-possession financing or any plan of reorganization of any Borrower or any other Loan Party, whether proposed by such Borrower, such other Loan Party, the Lenders or any other Person, and whether such fees and expenses are incurred prior to, during or after the commencement of such proceeding or the confirmation or conclusion of any such proceeding.  If any

114

Borrower shall fail to pay any amounts required to be paid by it pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders may pay such amounts on behalf of such Borrower and such amounts shall be deemed to be Obligations owing hereunder.  This Section 12.2. shall not apply to Taxes other than Taxes that represent expenses, losses and similar amounts arising from a non-Tax claim.

Section 12.3.  Setoff.

Subject to Section 3.3. and in addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, each Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Lender, each Affiliate of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, and each Participant, at any time or from time to time while an Event of Default exists, without notice to any Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of an Issuing Bank, a Lender, an Affiliate of an Issuing Bank or a Lender, or a Participant, subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Requisite Lenders exercised in their sole discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank, such Lender, any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender, or such Participant, to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against and on account of any of the Obligations, irrespective of whether or not any or all of the Loans and all other Obligations have been declared to be, or have otherwise become, due and payable as permitted by Section 10.2., and although such Obligations shall be contingent or unmatured.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, if any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.9. and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders and (y) such Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

Section 12.4.  Litigation; Jurisdiction; Other Matters; Waivers.

(a)                                 EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE BORROWERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK OR ANY OF THE LENDERS WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES.  ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE LENDERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK AND EACH BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY FEE LETTER OR  BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE BORROWERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK OR ANY OF THE LENDERS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

(b)                                 EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT COMMENCE ANY ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR DESCRIPTION, WHETHER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT OR OTHERWISE, AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO IN ANY WAY RELATING TO

115

THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATING HERETO OR THERETO, IN ANY FORUM OTHER THAN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY, AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW.  EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM, AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME.  THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ENFORCEMENT ACTION BY ANY PARTY HERETO TO ENFORCE ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM.

(c)                                  THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH PARTY WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF ALL LETTERS OF CREDIT AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 12.5.  Successors and Assigns.

(a)                                 Successors and Assigns Generally.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Borrower and no other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (except as permitted by Section 9.3.(d)), and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of the immediately following subsection (b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of the immediately following subsection (d) or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment, or grant of a security interest, subject to the restrictions of the immediately following subsection (f) (and, subject to the last sentence of the immediately following subsection (b), any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in the immediately following subsection (d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

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

116

(i)                                     Minimum Amounts.

(A)                               in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of an assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing to it (in each case with respect to a Facility) or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in the immediately following clause (B) in the aggregate, or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B)                               in any case not described in the immediately preceding subsection (A), the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000 in the case of any assignment in respect of a Commitment, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall exist, each Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that if, after giving effect to such assignment, the amount of the Commitment held by such assigning Lender or the outstanding principal balance of the Loans of such assigning Lender, as applicable, would be less than $5,000,000 in the case of a Commitment, then such assigning Lender shall assign the entire amount of its applicable Commitment and the applicable Loans at the time owing to it.

(C)                               Clauses (A) and (B) of this subsection (i) shall not apply to any assignment to the Unrestricted Subsidiary permitted by this Agreement.

(ii)                                  Proportionate Amounts.  Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not (x) apply to rights in respect of a Bid Rate Loan or (y) prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis.

(iii)                               Required Consents.  No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clause (i)(B) of this subsection (b) and, in addition:

(A)                               the consent of the Borrower Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) a Default or Event of Default shall exist at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to (I) a Revolving Lender or an Affiliate of a Revolving Lender in the case of assignments under the Revolving Credit Facility or (II) to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender in the case of assignments under the Term A Loan Facility or the Term B Loan Facility; provided, that the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof;

(B)                               the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of a Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not already a Lender with a

117

Commitment, an Affiliate of such a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such a Lender or the Unrestricted Subsidiary; and

(C)                               the consent of the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lenders (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of a Revolving Commitment.

(iv)                              Assignment and Assumption; Notes.  The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $4,500 for each assignment (which fee the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive), and the assignee, if it is not a Lender or the Unrestricted Subsidiary, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.  If requested by the transferor Lender or the assignee, upon the consummation of any assignment, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes are issued to the assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate.

(v)                                 No Assignment to Certain Persons.  No such assignment shall be made to (A) any Borrower or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries other than to the Unrestricted Subsidiary or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or to any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).

(vi)                              No Assignment to Natural Persons.  No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

(vii)                           Certain Additional Payments.  In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swingline Lenders and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and, in the case of a Revolving Lender, participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the immediately following subsection (c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment

118

and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.4., 12.2. and 12.9. and the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as provided in Section 12.10. with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with the immediately following subsection (d).

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

(d)                                 Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Borrower or the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or any Borrower or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) each of the  Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (x) increase such Lender’s Commitment in which such Participant has acquired a participation, (y) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal on the Loans or portions thereof owing to such Lender in which such Participant has acquired a participation, or (z) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon.  Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, each Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.10., 4.1., 4.4. (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.10.(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.10.(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 4.6. as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section.  Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at any Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 4.6. with respect to any Participant.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.3. as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.3. as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each
