On the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, amounts paid or prepaid with respect to the Revolving Loans may be reborrowed. The Cayman Borrower may, without penalty, upon giving the Administrative Agent not less than 5 Business Days notice, cancel the whole or any part (subject to a minimum amount of $5,000,000) of the Commitment related to Revolving Loans. Any amounts cancelled under the Commitment related to Revolving Loans may not be re-instated and the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount will be reduced accordingly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender (or the Administrative Agent on its behalf) shall be permitted or required to

make any Revolving Loan if, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans would exceed the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount.

SECTION 2.1.3 Synthetic Revolving Deposit Account.

(a) From time to time until the date that is the earlier of (i) the Commitment Termination Date and (ii) 30 days prior to the Stated Maturity Date in respect of the Synthetic Revolving Deposits, each Lender with a Synthetic Revolving Deposit acknowledges that the Administrative Agent will make loans, and the Administrative Agent agrees to make such Loans on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof (each such loan relative to such Lender, its “Synthetic Revolving Loan”), to the Cayman Borrower on such Lender’s behalf, in an amount equal to such Lender’s Synthetic Revolving Deposit Percentage of the Synthetic Revolving Loan Commitment Amount requested to be made by the Cayman Borrower pursuant to Section 2.2.3 and permitted hereunder. By the making of a Synthetic Revolving Loan, and without any further action on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, the Administrative Agent hereby grants to each Lender on whose behalf the Administrative Agent has made a Synthetic Revolving Loan, and each such Lender hereby acquires from the Administrative Agent, a participation in such Synthetic Revolving Loan equal to such Lender’s Synthetic Revolving Deposit Percentage of such Synthetic Revolving Loan. On the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, amounts paid or prepaid with respect to the Synthetic Revolving Loans may be reborrowed. The Cayman Borrower may, without penalty, upon giving the Administrative Agent not less than 5 Business Days notice, cancel the whole or any part (subject to a minimum amount of $5,000,000) of the Commitment related to Synthetic Revolving Deposits and the Synthetic Revolving Loans whereupon the Administrative Agent will withdraw amounts from the Synthetic Revolving Deposit Account and return to each Lender with a Synthetic Revolving Deposit an amount equal to such Lender’s Synthetic Revolving Deposit Percentage of the amount so cancelled (as provided in Section 2.1.3(d)(i)); provided that in no event shall the Synthetic Revolving Facility Available Amount be less than zero after giving effect to any such cancellation. Any amounts cancelled under the Commitment related to Synthetic Revolving Loans and the Synthetic Revolving Deposits may not be re-instated and the Synthetic Revolving Loan Commitment Amount will be reduced accordingly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender, nor the Administrative Agent on its behalf, shall be permitted or required to make any Synthetic Revolving Loans if, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Synthetic Revolving Loans would exceed the Synthetic Revolving Loan Commitment Amount.

(b) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent shall establish the Synthetic Revolving Deposit Account. The Administrative Agent shall maintain records enabling it to determine at any time the amount of the interest of each Lender in the Synthetic Revolving Deposit Account (the interest of each Lender in the Synthetic Revolving Deposit Account, as evidenced by such records, being referred to as such Lender’s “Synthetic Revolving Deposit Sub-Account”). The Administrative Agent shall establish such additional Synthetic Revolving Deposit Sub-Accounts for assignee Lenders as shall be required pursuant to Section 10.11. No Person (other than the Administrative Agent or any of its sub-agents) shall have the right to make any withdrawals from the Synthetic Revolving Deposit Account or exercise any other right or power with respect thereto, except as expressly provided herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Synthetic Revolving Deposits are and will at all times be solely the property of the Lenders

providing Synthetic Revolving Deposits, and no amount on deposit at any time in the Synthetic Revolving Deposit Account (i) shall be the property of either Borrower or any Guarantor or (ii) shall constitute collateral under the Loan Documents. Each Lender with a Synthetic Revolving Deposit agrees that its right, title and interest with respect to the Synthetic Revolving Deposit Account shall be limited to the right to require amounts in its Synthetic Revolving Deposit Sub-Account to be used as expressly set forth herein and that it will have no right to require the return of its Synthetic Revolving Deposit other than as expressly provided herein and each Lender with a Synthetic Revolving Deposit hereby acknowledges that its Synthetic Revolving Deposit constitutes payment for its requirement to fund Synthetic Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.1.3, and that the Administrative Agent will be extending Synthetic Revolving Loans in reliance on the availability of such Lender’s Synthetic Revolving Deposits to discharge such Lender’s obligations in accordance with Section 2.1.3(c). Each Lender with a Synthetic Revolving Deposit acknowledges that payments of principal of Synthetic Revolving Loans made by the Cayman Borrower hereunder, following the withdrawal of funds to reimburse the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.1.3(d), will be deposited by the Administrative Agent into the Synthetic Revolving Deposit Account, for further credit to each such Lender’s Synthetic Revolving Deposit Sub-Account, in satisfaction of the payment of such principal amount of such Lender’s outstanding Synthetic Revolving Loans. In addition, each Lender with a Synthetic Revolving Deposit hereby grants to the Administrative Agent a security interest in its rights and interests in such Lender’s Synthetic Revolving Deposit to secure the obligations of such Lender hereunder. The funding of the Synthetic Revolving Deposits and the agreements with respect thereto set forth in this Agreement constitute arrangements solely among the Administrative Agent and each Lender with a Synthetic Revolving Deposit with respect to the funding and reimbursement obligations of each such Lender under this Agreement, and do not constitute loans, extensions of credit or other financial accommodations to either Borrower or any Guarantor.

(i) On the Closing Date, each Lender with a Commitment with respect to Synthetic Revolving Loans and the Synthetic Revolving Deposits shall deposit in the Synthetic Revolving Deposit Account an amount in Dollars equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the Synthetic Revolving Loan Commitment Amount as of the Closing Date (each amount so deposited, such Lender’s “Synthetic Revolving Deposit”), which Synthetic Revolving Deposit shall satisfy in full such Lender’s obligation in respect of its Commitment to fund the Synthetic Revolving Deposit.

(ii) On any date prior to the Termination Date on which the Administrative Agent receives any payment of principal of Synthetic Revolving Loans, with respect to which amounts were withdrawn from the Synthetic Revolving Deposit Account in accordance with Section 2.1.3(d)(i) to reimburse or pay the Administrative Agent, subject to Section 2.1.3(c)(iii), the Administrative Agent shall, to the extent that it has been reimbursed for such Synthetic Revolving Loans as provided in Section 2.1.3(d)(i), deposit in the Synthetic Revolving Deposit Account, and credit to the Synthetic Revolving Deposit Sub-Accounts of the Lenders with Synthetic Revolving Deposits, the portion of such reimbursed or

other payment in an amount equal to such Lender’s Synthetic Revolving Deposit Percentage of such payment. Repayments of Synthetic Revolving Loans that have not been reimbursed to the Administrative Agent as provided in Section 2.1.3(d)(i) shall be for the account of the Administrative Agent.

(iii) If at any time when any amount is required to be deposited in the Synthetic Revolving Deposit Account under Section 2.1.3(c)(ii) the sum of such amount and the aggregate amount of the Synthetic Revolving Deposits at such time would exceed the Synthetic Revolving Loan Commitment Amount then in effect, such excess shall not be deposited in the Synthetic Revolving Deposit Account and the Administrative Agent shall instead pay to each Lender with a Synthetic Revolving Deposit its Synthetic Revolving Deposit Percentage of such excess.

(d) Each Lender with a Synthetic Revolving Deposit irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that its Synthetic Revolving Deposit in the Synthetic Revolving Deposit Account shall be withdrawn and distributed as follows:

(i) In the event the Administrative Agent makes a Synthetic Revolving Loan pursuant to Section 2.1.3, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by each Lender with a Synthetic Revolving Deposit to withdraw for its own account from the Synthetic Revolving Deposit Account the amount of such principal, as reimbursement for each Synthetic Revolving Loan provided by the Administrative Agent (and debit the Synthetic Revolving Deposit Sub-Account of each Lender with a Synthetic Revolving Deposit in the amount of such Lender’s Synthetic Revolving Deposit Percentage of such Synthetic Revolving Loan).

(ii) In the event the Cayman Borrower voluntarily decides to permanently reduce the Synthetic Revolving Loan Commitment Amount, the Administrative Agent will withdraw from the Synthetic Revolving Deposit Account an amount equal to such reduction, and pay to each Lender with a Synthetic Revolving Deposit an amount equal to the product of (A) such Lender’s Synthetic Revolving Deposit Percentage multiplied by (B) the aggregate amount of such reduction.

(iii) Concurrently with the effectiveness of any assignment by any Lender with a Synthetic Revolving Deposit of all or any portion of its Synthetic Revolving Deposit, the corresponding portion of the assignor’s Synthetic Revolving Deposit Sub-Account shall be transferred from the assignor’s Synthetic Revolving Deposit Sub-Account to the assignee’s Synthetic Revolving Deposit Sub-Account in accordance with Section 10.11 and, if required by Section 10.11, the Administrative Agent shall close such assignor’s Synthetic Revolving Deposit Sub-Account.

(iv) Upon the occurrence of the Termination Date (other than the return of the portion of the Synthetic Revolving Deposit of each applicable Lender with a Synthetic Revolving Deposit on deposit in the Synthetic Revolving Deposit

Account), all amounts remaining in the Synthetic Revolving Deposit Account shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to each Lender with a Synthetic Revolving Deposit based on each such Lender’s Synthetic Revolving Deposit Percentage.

(v) Upon the reduction of each of the Commitments related to Synthetic Revolving Loans to zero, the Administrative Agent shall withdraw from the Synthetic Revolving Deposit Account and pay to each Lender with a Synthetic Revolving Deposit the entire remaining amount of such Lender’s Synthetic Revolving Deposit, and shall close the Synthetic Revolving Deposit Account.

Each Lender with a Synthetic Revolving Deposit irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that its Synthetic Revolving Deposit may be applied or withdrawn from time to time as set forth in this Section 2.1.3(d).

(e) On each day on which Participation Fees are required to be paid with respect to all or any portion of the Synthetic Revolving Deposits pursuant to Section 3.2.1(b), the Administrative Agent shall pay to each Lender with a Synthetic Revolving Deposit an amount (the “Synthetic Revolving Deposit Return”) equal to (i) the Base Return for the relevant Investment Period multiplied by (ii) such Lender’s Synthetic Revolving Deposit Percentage. Any amounts earned and received with respect to Synthetic Revolving Deposits during any applicable Investment Period in excess of the Base Return shall be for the account of the Administrative Agent. No Person other than the Administrative Agent shall have any obligation under or in respect of this Section 2.1.3(e).

(f) The Cayman Borrower shall have no right, title or interest in or to any of the Synthetic Revolving Deposits, the Synthetic Revolving Deposit Account or any Synthetic Revolving Deposit Sub-Account and no obligations in respect thereof (except for the repayment of Synthetic Revolving Loans as provided herein and the payment of Participation Fees under Section 3.2.1(b)). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Cayman Borrower shall not be liable for any losses due to (i) the misappropriation of any Base Return or Synthetic Revolving Deposit or (ii) the failure of the Administrative Agent to pay the Synthetic Revolving Deposit Return to any Lender (it being understood and agreed for greater certainty that this clause shall not limit any obligation of the Cayman Borrower hereunder to pay any Participation Fee). Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Person guarantees any rate of return on the investment of any Synthetic Revolving Deposit held in the Synthetic Revolving Deposit Account.

(g) In the event any payment of a Synthetic Revolving Loan shall be required to be refunded by the Administrative Agent to the Cayman Borrower after the return of the Synthetic Revolving Deposits to the applicable Lenders as permitted hereunder, each such Lender agrees to acquire and fund a participation in such refunded amount equal to the lesser of its Synthetic Revolving Deposit Percentage thereof and the amount of its Synthetic Revolving Deposit that shall have been so returned.

Such deposit will be made to an account which the Administrative Agent shall specify by notice to the Lenders. To the extent funds are received from the Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall make such funds available to the Cayman Borrower by wire transfer to the accounts the Cayman Borrower shall have specified in its Borrowing Request. No Lender’s obligation to make any Loan shall be affected by any other Lender’s failure to make a Loan.

SECTION 2.2.3 Synthetic Revolving Deposits; Synthetic Revolving Loan Borrowing Procedures. By delivering a Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent on or before 10:00 a.m. on a Business Day, the Cayman Borrower may request that a borrowing of Synthetic Revolving Loans be made (a) with respect to Base Rate Loans, on such Business Day and (b) with respect to LIBO Rate Loans, on the third Business Day following delivery of the Borrowing Request. Each Synthetic Revolving Loan Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount of such borrowing and (ii) the date of such borrowing (which shall be a Business Day). The aggregate principal amount of each Synthetic Revolving Loan borrowing shall be not less than $2,000,000 and in an integral multiple of $500,000, or the remainder of the amount available under the Synthetic Revolving Loan Commitment Amount.

SECTION 2.3 Continuation and Conversion Elections. By delivering a Continuation/Conversion Notice to the Administrative Agent on or before 10:00 a.m. on a Business Day, the Borrowers may from time to time irrevocably elect, on not less than one Business Day’s notice in the case of Base Rate Loans, or three Business Days’ notice in the case of LIBO Rate Loans, and in either case not more than five Business Days’ notice, that all, or any portion in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000 be, in the case of Base Rate Loans, converted into LIBO Rate Loans or be, in the case of LIBO Rate Loans, converted into Base Rate Loans or continued as LIBO Rate Loans (in the absence of

delivery of a Continuation/Conversion Notice with respect to any LIBO Rate Loan at least three Business Days (but not more than five Business Days) before the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, such LIBO Rate Loan shall, on such last day, automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan); provided that (x) each such conversion or continuation shall be pro rated among the applicable outstanding Loans of all Lenders, and (y) no portion of the outstanding principal amount of any Loans may be continued as, or be converted into, LIBO Rate Loans when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.3, on the third Business Day after the Closing Date, all of the Loans shall be converted into LIBO Rate Loans with an initial Interest Period of one month, as and to the extent specified in a Continuation/Conversion Notice delivered to the Administrative Agent on the Closing Date.

SECTION 2.4 Funding. Each Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its obligation to make, continue or convert LIBO Rate Loans hereunder by causing one of its foreign branches or Affiliates (or an international banking facility created by such Lender) to make or maintain such LIBO Rate Loan; provided that such LIBO Rate Loan shall nonetheless be deemed to have been made and to be held by such Lender, and the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such LIBO Rate Loan shall nevertheless be to such Lender for the account of such foreign branch, Affiliate or international banking facility. In addition, the Borrowers hereby consent and agree that, for purposes of any determination to be made for purposes of Section 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4, it shall be conclusively assumed that each Lender elected to fund all LIBO Rate Loans by purchasing Dollar deposits in its LIBOR Office’s interbank eurodollar market.

SECTION 2.5 Register; Notes.

(a) The Borrowers hereby designate the Administrative Agent to serve as the Borrowers’ agent, solely for the purpose of this clause, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which the Administrative Agent will record each Lender’s Commitment, the Loans made by each Lender and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans, annexed to which the Administrative Agent shall retain a copy of each Lender Assignment Agreement delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.11. Failure to make any recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the Borrowers’ Obligations. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person in whose name a Loan is registered (or, if applicable, to which a Note has been issued) as the owner thereof for the purposes of all Loan Documents, notwithstanding notice or any provision herein to the contrary. Any assignment or transfer of a Commitment or the Loans made pursuant hereto shall be registered in the Register only upon delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Lender Assignment Agreement that has been executed by the requisite parties pursuant to Section 10.11. No assignment or transfer of a Lender’s Commitment or Loans shall be effective unless such assignment or transfer shall have been recorded in the Register by the Administrative Agent as provided in this Section.

(b) The Borrowers agrees that, upon the request of any Lender, each Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a Note evidencing the Loans made by, and payable to the order of, such Lender in a maximum principal amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the Term Loan Commitment Amount or Revolving Loan Commitment Amount, as applicable. Each

Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes each Lender to make (or cause to be made) appropriate notations on the grid attached to such Lender’s Note (or on any continuation of such grid), which notations, if made, shall evidence, inter alia, the date of, the outstanding principal amount of, and the interest rate and Interest Period applicable to the Loans evidenced thereby. Such notations shall, to the extent not inconsistent with notations made by the Administrative Agent in the Register, be conclusive and binding on each Borrower absent manifest error; provided that the failure of any Lender to make any such notations or any error in such notations shall not limit or otherwise affect any Obligations of the Borrowers.

SECTION 2.6 Increase in Revolving Loan Commitment Amount.

(a) The Cayman Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, by notice to the Administrative Agent, request one or more increases in the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount (each, a “Commitment Increase”) in an aggregate amount up to $105,000,000, to be effective as of a date to be agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders providing such increase in the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount (each such date, an “Increase Date”) as specified in the related notice to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that (i) on the date of any request by the Borrower for a Commitment Increase and on the related Increase Date, the applicable conditions set forth in Section 5.2.4 shall be satisfied, (ii) any increase in the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount shall be accompanied by a corresponding permanent reduction in the aggregate Synthetic Revolving Loan Commitment Amount and return of the Synthetic Revolving Deposits to the applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Synthetic Revolving Deposit Percentages, and (iii) no Lender shall have any obligation to participate in any Commitment Increase. Such notice shall specify each Lender or financial institution agreeing to become a Lender which will provide such Commitment Increase and its respective share of the Commitment Increase; provided, however, that the Commitment of each new Lender providing such Commitment Increase shall not be less than $1,000,000 and each Lender or financial institution providing any portion of such Commitment Increase shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(b) The Cayman Borrower may extend offers to one or more new Lenders to participate in any portion of the requested Commitment Increase. Each new Lender that participates in a requested Commitment Increase in accordance with Section 2.6 shall become a Lender party to this Agreement as of the applicable Increase Date and the Commitment of each Lender participating in such Commitment Increase shall be increased by the amount allocated to such Lender by the Cayman Borrower and the Administrative Agent as of such Increase Date and notified to such Lender by the Administrative Agent; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall have received on or before the applicable Increase Date the following, each dated such date:

(i) an assumption agreement from each new Lender, if any, in form and substance satisfactory to the Cayman Borrower and the Administrative Agent (each an “Assumption Agreement”), duly executed by such new Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower; and

(ii) confirmation from each Lender of the increase in the amount of its Commitment, duly executed by such Lender, the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.

On the applicable Increase Date, the Administrative Agent shall (x) notify the existing Lenders and any new Lenders participating in such Commitment Increase and the Cayman Borrower, on or before 11:00 a.m., of the occurrence of the applicable Commitment Increase to be effected on the related Increase Date, (y) record in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.5(a) the relevant information with respect to each existing Lender and each new Lender participating in such Commitment Increase on such date and (z) withdraw from the Synthetic Revolving Deposit Account and return to each applicable Lender an amount equal to such Lender’s Synthetic Revolving Deposit Percentage of such Commitment Increase. From and after each such Increase Date, the Synthetic Revolving Loan Commitment Amount shall be permanently reduced by the amount of the applicable Commitment Increase.

CERTAIN LIBO RATE AND OTHER PROVISIONS

SECTION 4.1 LIBO Rate Lending Unlawful. If any Lender shall determine (which determination shall, upon notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, be

conclusive and binding on the Borrowers) that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law makes it unlawful, or any Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender to make or continue any Loan as, or to convert any Loan into, a LIBO Rate Loan, the obligations of such Lender to make, continue or convert any such LIBO Rate Loan shall, upon such determination, forthwith be suspended until such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and all outstanding LIBO Rate Loans payable to such Lender shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans at the end of the then current Interest Periods with respect thereto or sooner, if required by such law or assertion.

SECTION 4.2 Deposits Unavailable. If the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that

(a) Dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant Interest Period are not available to it in its relevant market; or

(b) by reason of circumstances affecting its relevant market, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable hereunder to LIBO Rate Loans;

then, upon notice from the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers and the Lenders, the obligations of all Lenders under Section 2.3 and Section 2.4 to make or continue any Loans as, or to convert any Loans into, LIBO Rate Loans shall forthwith be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

SECTION 4.3 Increased LIBO Rate Loan Costs, etc. Each Borrower agrees, on a joint and several basis, to reimburse each Lender for any increase in the cost to such Lender of, or any reduction in the amount of any sum receivable by such Lender in respect of, such Lender’s Commitments and the making of LIBO Rate Loans hereunder (including the making, continuing or maintaining (or of its obligation to make or continue) any LIBO Rate Loans as, or of converting (or of its obligation to convert) any Loans into, LIBO Rate Loans) that arise in connection with any change in, or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or phase-in after the Closing Date of, any law or regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority, except for such changes with respect to increased capital costs and Taxes which are governed by Sections 4.5 and 4.6, respectively and except for costs reflected in the LIBO Rate Reserve Percentage. Each affected Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers in writing of the occurrence of any such event, stating the reasons therefor and the additional amount required fully to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount. Such additional amounts shall be payable by the Borrowers directly to such Lender within three Business Days of its receipt of such notice, and such notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers; provided that the Borrowers shall not be liable to any Lender for such amounts incurred by such Lender more than 365 days prior to the date of notice to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 4.4 Funding Losses. In the event any Lender shall incur any loss or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to make or continue any portion of the principal amount of any Loan as, or to convert any portion of the principal amount of any Loan into, a LIBO Rate Loan as a result of

(a) any conversion or repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of any LIBO Rate Loan on a date other than the scheduled last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, whether pursuant to Article III or otherwise;

(b) any Loans not being made as LIBO Rate Loans in accordance with the Borrowing Request therefor (for a reason other than the failure of a Lender to make such Loan);

(c) any Loans not being continued as, or converted into, LIBO Rate Loans in accordance with the Continuation/Conversion Notice therefor; or

(d) any Loans not being borrowed on the date specified by the Borrowers on the proposed Closing Date,

then, upon the written notice of such Lender to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall, within three Business Days of its receipt thereof, pay directly to such Lender such amount as will (in the reasonable determination of such Lender) reimburse such Lender for such loss or expense. Such written notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers.

If, after the date hereof, any change in, or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or phase-in of, any law or regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any Person controlling such Lender, and such Lender determines (in good faith but in its sole and absolute discretion) that the rate of return on its or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of the Commitments, the Loans made by such Lender or the Synthetic Revolving Deposit made by such Lender is reduced to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling Person could have achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance, then upon notice from time to time by such Lender to the Borrowers, the Borrowers shall within three Business Days following receipt of such notice pay directly to such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such controlling Person for such reduction in rate of return; provided that the Borrowers shall not be liable to any Lender for any such reduction with respect to any period of time which is more than 365 days prior to the date of any such statement. A statement of such Lender as to any such additional amount or amounts shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable method of averaging and attribution that it (in its sole and absolute discretion) shall deem applicable.

SECTION 4.6 Taxes. Each Borrower covenants and agrees as follows with respect to Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of each Borrower under each Loan Document shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense, and free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes except as required by applicable law. In the event that any Taxes are imposed and required to be deducted or withheld from any payment required to be made to or on behalf of any Secured Party under any Loan Document, then:

(i) subject to clause (g), if such Taxes are Non-Excluded Taxes, the amount of payment by the applicable Borrower shall be increased as may be necessary so that the net payment to the Secured Party, after withholding or deduction for or on account of such Taxes, is not less than the amount provided for in such Loan Document; and

(ii) the applicable Borrower shall withhold or cause to be withheld the full amount of such Taxes from such payment (as increased pursuant to clause (a)(i)) and shall pay or cause to be paid such amount to the Governmental Authority imposing such Taxes in accordance with applicable law.

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

(c) As promptly as practicable after the payment of any Taxes or Other Taxes, the applicable Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent a copy of an official receipt (or a certified copy thereof) evidencing the payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall make copies thereof available to any Lender upon request therefor.

(d) Subject to clause (g), the applicable Borrower shall indemnify each Lender, for any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes required to be withheld by the Administrative Agent with respect to any and all payments of the Synthetic Revolving Deposit Return to the Lender (including Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 4.6). A certificate stating the amount of such payment or liability and setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation thereof shall be delivered to the applicable Borrower by such Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where a certificate described in the preceding sentence is not delivered to the applicable Borrower within 90 days after the assessed Lender or Administrative Agent receives notice of the assertion of any Non- Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, no indemnification shall be required for penalties, additions to tax, expenses and interest accruing on such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes from the date that is 90 days after the receipt by the assessed Lender or Administrative Agent of written notice of the assertion of such taxes until (and then only for periods after) 30 days after the date such certificate was actually received by the applicable Borrower.

(e) Subject to clause (g), the applicable Borrower shall indemnify each Secured Party for any Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes levied, imposed or assessed on (and whether or not paid directly by) such Secured Party whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Promptly upon having knowledge that any such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes have been levied, imposed or assessed, and promptly upon notice thereof by any Secured Party, the applicable Borrower shall pay such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes directly to the relevant Governmental Authority (provided, however, that no Secured Party shall be under any obligation to provide any such notice to either Borrower). In addition, the applicable Borrower shall indemnify each Secured Party for any incremental Taxes that may become payable by such Secured Party as a result of any failure of such Borrower to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority or to deliver to the Administrative Agent, pursuant to clause (c), documentation evidencing the payment of Taxes or Other Taxes. With respect to indemnification for Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes actually paid by any Secured Party or the indemnification provided in the immediately preceding sentence, such indemnification shall be made within 90 days after the date such Secured Party makes written demand therefor.

(f) Pursuant to a reasonable written request from the applicable Borrower (delivered to the Lender not fewer than 30 days prior to the time at which such Borrower requests delivery by the Lender), a Lender that is legally entitled to an exemption from or reduction of Non-Excluded Taxes with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to such Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed forms prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding; provided that the delivery of such forms would not in the good faith determination of the Lender be materially disadvantageous to it. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, on or before the Closing Date (or if later, on or prior to the date such Lender becomes a party hereto) and from time to time thereafter on or prior to the expiration of the previously delivered form, two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form ▇-▇, ▇-▇▇▇▇, ▇-▇▇▇▇, or W-8IMY (with required attachments), as may be applicable, in each case, properly completed and executed, as will permit payments under this Agreement to be made without any United States backup withholding.

(g) Neither Borrower shall be obligated to pay any additional amounts to a Lender pursuant to clause (a)(i), or to indemnify a Lender pursuant to clause (d) or clause (e), in respect of Non-Excluded Taxes to the extent imposed as a result of (i) the failure of such Lender to deliver to such Borrower any form or forms that such Lender is required to deliver pursuant to clause (f), (ii) the information or certifications made on such form or forms by the Lender being untrue or inaccurate on the date delivered, or (iii) the Lender designating a successor lending office at which it maintains its Loans which has the effect of causing such Lender to become obligated for tax payments in excess of those in effect immediately prior to such designation. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the applicable Borrower shall nonetheless be obligated to pay additional amounts pursuant to

clause (a)(i) and to indemnify under clause (d) or clause (e) (i) with respect to any withholding tax that would not have been eliminated notwithstanding the Lender’s compliance with its obligations under clause (f) above, (ii) to the extent that any failure to deliver a form or forms or inaccuracy or untruth contained therein resulted from a change in any applicable statute, treaty, regulation or other applicable law or any interpretation of any of the foregoing occurring after the date a request for documentation establishing an exemption from Non-Excluded Taxes was first requested pursuant to clause (f), which change rendered such Lender no longer legally entitled to deliver such form or forms or otherwise ineligible for a complete exemption from or reduced rate of withholding taxes, or rendered the information or certifications made in such form or forms untrue or inaccurate in a material respect, (iii) to the extent that the redesignation of the Lender’s lending office was made at the request of such Borrower or (iv) to the extent that the obligation to pay any additional amounts to any such Lender pursuant to clause (a)(i) or to indemnify any such Lender pursuant to clause (d) or clause (e) is with respect to an Assignee Lender that becomes an Assignee Lender as a result of an assignment made at the request of such Borrower.

SECTION 4.7 Payments. Computations, etc. Unless otherwise expressly provided in a Loan Document, all payments by the Borrowers pursuant to each Loan Document shall be made by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent for the pro rata account of the Secured Parties entitled to receive such payment. All payments of principal of Synthetic Revolving Loans shall be made by the Cayman Borrower to the Administrative Agent for its account or, to the extent that the Administrative Agent has been reimbursed for such Synthetic Revolving Loans from proceeds in the Synthetic Revolving Deposit Account, for deposit into the Synthetic Revolving Deposit Account for the benefit of the applicable Lenders in accordance with their Synthetic Revolving Deposit Percentages. All payments shall be made without setoff, deduction or counterclaim not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date due in same day or immediately available funds to such account as the Administrative Agent shall specify from time to time by notice to the Borrowers. Funds received after that time shall be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent on the next succeeding Business Day unless, at the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, the Administrative Agent elects to treat such payment as having been received on the same Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit in same day funds to each Secured Party its share, if any, of such payments received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Secured Party. All interest (including interest on LIBO Rate Loans) and fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring during the period for which such interest or fee is payable over a year comprised of 360 days (or, in the case of interest on a Base Rate Loan (calculated at other than the Federal Funds Rate), 365 days or, if appropriate, 366 days). Except as otherwise provided herein, payments due on other than a Business Day shall be made on the next preceding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees in connection with that payment. Except as otherwise expressly set forth therein, any payment made under any Loan Document that is less than the full amount then due thereunder shall be applied upon receipt (a) first, to the payment of all Obligations (other than Loans and interest thereon) owing to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, respectively (including the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be), (b) second, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in clause (a),

to the ratable payment of all interest and fees owing with respect to the Loans and all costs and expenses owing to the Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, until paid in full in cash, (c) third, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in clauses (a) and (b), to the ratable payment of the principal amount of the Loans then outstanding, and, if such payment resulted from the proceeds of any collateral, then to amounts owing to Secured Parties under Hedging Agreements, (d) fourth, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in clauses (a) through (c), to the ratable payment of all other Obligations owing to the Secured Parties, (e) fifth, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in clauses (a) through (d), and following the Termination Date, to the Borrowers or any other Person lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. For purposes of this Section, the “credit exposure” at any time of any Secured Party with respect to a Hedging Agreement to which such Secured Party is a party shall be determined at such time in accordance with the customary methods of calculating credit exposure under similar arrangements by the counterparty to such arrangements, taking into account potential interest rate movements, currency movements and the respective termination provisions and notional principal amount, netting arrangements and term of such Hedging Agreement.

SECTION 4.8 Sharing of Payments. If any Secured Party shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of setoff or otherwise) on account of any Loan (other than pursuant to the terms of Section 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 or 4.6) in excess of its pro rata share of payments obtained by all Secured Parties, such Secured Party shall purchase from the other Secured Parties such participations in Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Secured Party to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably (to the extent such other Secured Parties were entitled to receive a portion of such payment or recovery) with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Secured Party, the purchase shall be rescinded and each Secured Party which has sold a participation to the purchasing Secured Party shall repay to the purchasing Secured Party the purchase price to the ratable extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such selling Secured Party’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of such selling Secured Party’s required repayment to the purchasing Secured Party to (b) total amount so recovered from the purchasing Secured Party) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Secured Party in respect of the total amount so recovered. Each Borrower agrees that any Secured Party purchasing a participation from another Secured Party pursuant to this Section may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including pursuant to Section 4.9) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Secured Party were the direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law any Secured Party receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section applies, such Secured Party shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Secured Parties entitled under this Section to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

SECTION 4.9 Setoff. Each Secured Party shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default described in clauses (a) through (e) of Section 8.1.9 or, with the consent of the Required Lenders, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, have the right to appropriate and apply to the payment of the Obligations owing to it (whether or not then due) any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys

of the Borrowers then or thereafter maintained with such Secured Party (or any of its Affiliates); provided, however, that any such appropriation and application shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4.8. Each Secured Party agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent after any such appropriation and application made by such Secured Party; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Secured Party under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff under applicable law or otherwise) which such Secured Party may have.

SECTION 4.10 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender (an “Affected Lender”) (a) makes a demand upon either Borrower for (or if either Borrower is otherwise required to pay) amounts pursuant to Section 4.3. 4.5 or 4.6 (and the payment of such amounts are, and are likely to continue to be, more onerous in the reasonable judgment of such Borrower than with respect to the other Lenders), or (b) gives notice pursuant to Section 4.1 requiring a conversion of such Affected Lender’s LIBO Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans or suspending such Lender’s obligation to make Loans as, or to convert Loans into, LIBO Rate Loans, such Borrower may, within 90 days of receipt by such Borrower of such demand or notice, as the case may be, give notice (a “Replacement Notice”) in writing to the Administrative Agent and such Affected Lender of its intention to cause such Affected Lender to sell all or any portion of its Loans, Notes (if any) and/or Synthetic Revolving Deposits (if any) to another financial institution or other Person (a “Replacement Lender”) designated in such Replacement Notice; provided, that no Replacement Notice may be given by such Borrower if (i) such replacement conflicts with any applicable law or regulation, (ii) any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement or (iii) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken any necessary action under Section 4.5 or 4.6 (if applicable) so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 4.5 or 4.6. If the Administrative Agent shall, in the exercise of its reasonable discretion and within 30 days of its receipt of such Replacement Notice, notify the applicable Borrower and such Affected Lender in writing that the Replacement Lender is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (such consent not being required where the Replacement Lender is already a Lender), then such Affected Lender shall, subject to the payment of any amounts due pursuant to Section 4.4, assign, in accordance with Section 10.11, the portion of its Loans, Notes (if any) and/or Synthetic Revolving Deposits (if any), and other rights and obligations under this Agreement and all other Loan Documents designated in the replacement notice to such Replacement Lender; provided, that (i) such assignment shall be without recourse, representation or warranty and shall be on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to such Affected Lender and such Replacement Lender, (ii) the purchase price paid by such Replacement Lender shall be in the amount of such Affected Lender’s Loans designated in the Replacement Notice and/or Synthetic Revolving Deposits, as applicable, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and fees in respect thereof, plus all other amounts (including the amounts demanded and unreimbursed under Section 4.3, 4.5 and 4.6), owing to such Affected Lender hereunder and (iii) the applicable Borrower shall pay to the Affected Lender and the Administrative Agent all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Affected Lender and the Administrative Agent in connection with such assignment and assumption (including the processing fees described in Section 10.11). Upon the effective date of an assignment described above, the Replacement Lender shall become a “Lender” for all purposes under the Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such

Lender as assignor, any assignment agreement necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section.

SECTION 4.11 Mitigation. Each Secured Party agrees that if it makes any demand for payment under Section 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 or 4.6, or if any adoption or change of the type described in Section 4.1 shall occur with respect to it, it will use Reasonable Efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions and so long as such efforts would not be disadvantageous to it, as determined in its sole discretion) to designate a different lending office if the making of such a designation would reduce or obviate the need for the Borrowers to make payments under Section 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, or 4.6, or would eliminate or reduce the effect of any adoption or change described in Section 4.1.

Any judgment or order for the payment of money of $10,000,000 or more (or the equivalent in other currencies), or judgments or orders for the payment of money aggregating $30,000,000 or more (or the equivalent in other currencies), exclusive of any amounts fully covered by insurance (less any applicable deductible) and as to which the insurer has acknowledged its responsibility to cover such judgment or order, shall be rendered against the Cayman Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and such judgment or judgments shall not have been vacated or discharged or stayed or bonded pending appeal within 60 days after the entry thereof or enforcement proceedings shall have been commenced by any creditor upon any such judgment or order.

SECTION 8.1.7 Pension Plans. Any of the following events shall occur

(a) with respect to any Pension Plan, the institution of any steps by either Borrower, any member of its Controlled Group or any other Person to terminate a Pension Plan which if, as a result of such termination, either Borrower or any such member could be required to make a contribution to such Pension Plan, or could reasonably expect to incur a liability or obligation to such Pension Plan, in excess of $5,000,000; or

(b) with respect to any Pension Plan, a contribution failure occurs with respect to any Pension Plan sufficient to give rise to a Lien under section 302(f) of ERISA, or

(c) with respect to any arrangement that would be a Pension Plan but for the fact that it is maintained outside of the United States primarily for the benefit of individuals substantially all of whom are nonresident aliens, (i) the institution of any steps by either Borrower, any member of its Controlled Group, or any other Person to terminate such arrangement which if, as a result of such termination, such Borrower or any such member could be required to make a contribution to such arrangement, or could reasonably expect to incur a liability or obligation to or in respect of such arrangement, in excess of $5,000,000, or (ii) a contribution failure occurs with respect to such arrangement sufficient to give rise to a Lien under applicable law securing obligations in excess of $5,000,000.

SECTION 8.1.8 Change in Control. Any Change in Control shall occur.

SECTION 8.1.9 Bankruptcy, Insolvency, etc. Either Borrower or any Guarantor shall:

(a) become insolvent or generally fail to pay, or admit in writing its inability or unwillingness generally to pay, debts as they become due;

(b) apply for, consent to, or acquiesce in the appointment of a trustee, liquidator, receiver, sequestrator or other custodian for any substantial part of the property of any thereof, or make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors;

(c) in the absence of such application, consent or acquiescence in or permit or suffer to exist the appointment of a trustee, liquidator, receiver, sequestrator or other custodian for a substantial part of the property of any thereof, and such trustee, liquidator, receiver, sequestrator or other custodian shall not be discharged within 60 days;

(d) permit or suffer to exist the commencement of any bankruptcy, reorganization, composition, debt arrangement or other case or proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or any dissolution, winding up or liquidation proceeding, in respect thereof, and, if any such case or proceeding is not commenced by such Borrower or any Guarantor, such case or proceeding shall be consented to or acquiesced in by such Borrower or any Guarantor, as the case may be, or shall result in the entry of an order for relief or shall remain for 60 days undismissed; or

(e) take any action authorizing, or in furtherance of, any of the foregoing.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any of the proceedings referred to in this Section 8.1.9 affecting only an Immaterial Guarantor constitute an Event of Default, unless and to the extent that such proceedings affect Immaterial Guarantors representing, directly or through direct or indirect ownership interest in any other Person, 15% or more, in the aggregate, of the Consolidated EBITDA of the Cayman Borrowers and its Subsidiaries for the most recently ended Fiscal Year.

SECTION 8.1.10 Impairment of Security, etc. Any Security Agreement or any Lien granted thereunder shall (except in accordance with its terms or except with respect to Liens on property disposed of in accordance with Sections 7.2.10 and 7.2.11), in whole or in part, terminate, cease to be effective or cease to be the legally valid, binding and enforceable obligation of each Borrower or any other entity granting such Lien; each Borrower or any Guarantor shall, directly or indirectly, contest in any manner such effectiveness, validity, binding nature or enforceability; or, except as permitted under any Loan Document, any Lien securing any Obligation shall, in whole or in part, cease to be a perfected Lien (subject to no equal or prior Liens other than Permitted Liens).

SECTION 8.1.11 Failure of Subordination. The subordination provisions relating to any Subordinated Debt (the “Subordination Provisions”) shall cease to be in full force and effect; or the Cayman Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall, directly or indirectly, disavow or contest in any manner the effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any of the Subordination Provisions or that all payments of principal of or premium and interest on the Subordinated Debt, or realized from the liquidation of any property of such Borrower, shall be subject to any of such Subordination Provisions.

SECTION 8.2 Action if Bankruptcy. If any Event of Default described in clauses (a) through (e) of Section 8.1.9 with respect to either Borrower shall occur, the Commitments (if not theretofore terminated) shall automatically terminate and the outstanding principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all other Obligations shall automatically be and become immediately due and payable, without notice or demand to any Person.

SECTION 8.3 Action if Other Event of Default. If any Event of Default (other than any Event of Default described in clauses (a) through (e) of Section 8.1.9 with respect to either Borrower) shall occur for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary, and be continuing, the Administrative Agent, upon the direction of the Required Lenders, shall by notice to the Borrowers declare all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans and other Obligations to be due and payable and/or the Commitments (if not theretofore terminated) to be

terminated, whereupon the full unpaid amount of such Loans and other Obligations which shall be so declared due and payable shall be and become immediately due and payable, without further notice, demand or presentment, and/or, as the case may be, the Commitments shall terminate.

SECTION 8.4 Effect of Cure. If (i) the circumstance giving rise to an Event of Default has been cured or remedied (without regard to whether it has been cured within any applicable cure period), (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have not, prior to such cure or remedy, accelerated the Loans, and (iii) the circumstance giving rise to an Event of Default has not had, and could not reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse effect on the Borrowers or the Borrowers’ ability to repay the Loans, then such Event of Default shall be deemed cured and waived for all purposes, but without prejudice to (or waiver of) the Borrowers’ continuing and future obligations under the Loan Documents, whether of the same or different nature as the underlying Event of Default that has been cured.

ARTICLE IX
THE AGENTS

SECTION 9.1 Actions. Each Lender hereby appoints Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch, as its Administrative Agent under and for purposes of each Loan Document. Each Lender hereby appoints JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as its Collateral Agent under and for the purposes of each Loan Document. Each Lender authorizes each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to act on behalf of such Lender under each Loan Document, as applicable, and, in the absence of other written instructions from the Required Lenders received from time to time by such Agent (with respect to which such Agent agrees that it will comply, except as otherwise provided in this Section or as otherwise advised by counsel in order to avoid contravention of applicable law), to exercise such powers hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as may be incidental thereto. Each Lender hereby indemnifies (which indemnity shall survive any termination of this Agreement) each Agent, pro rata according to such Lender’s proportionate amount of the outstanding Loans, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, either Agent in any way relating to or arising out of any Loan Document, (including attorneys’ fees), and as to which each such Agent is not reimbursed by the Borrowers; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses which are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final proceeding to have resulted from an Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. None of the Agents shall be required to take any action under any Loan Document, or to prosecute or defend any suit in respect of any Loan Document, unless it is indemnified hereunder to its satisfaction. If any indemnity in favor of an Agent shall be or become, in the Agent’s determination, inadequate, such Agent may call for additional indemnification from the Lenders and cease to do the acts indemnified against hereunder until such additional indemnity is given. The Documentation Agent, without the consent of or notice to any party hereto, may assign any and all of its rights or obligations hereunder to any of its Affiliates. As of the Closing Date, the Documentation Agent shall have no obligations but shall be entitled to all the benefits of Section 9.

SECTION 9.2 Funding Reliance, etc.

SECTION 9.2.1 Lenders. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender by 3:00 p.m. on the Business Day prior to the borrowing of Loans that such Lender will not make available the amount which would constitute its Percentage of the borrowing of Loans on the date specified therefor, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent and, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such amount available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to repay the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date the Administrative Agent made such amount available to the Borrowers to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the interest rate applicable at the time to Loans comprising the borrowing (in the case of the Borrowers) and (in the case of a Lender), at the Federal Funds Rate (for the first two Business Days after which such amount has not been repaid), and thereafter at the interest rate applicable to Loans comprising the borrowing.

SECTION 9.2.2 Borrowers. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the applicable Borrower by 3:00 p.m. on the Business Day prior to the payment of any amounts due under any Loan Document that such Borrower will not make available such amount on the date specified therefor, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent and, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to each Lender its pro rata share of a corresponding amount of such payment. If and to the extent that such Borrower shall not have made such amount available to the Administrative Agent, the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to repay the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date the Administrative Agent made such amount available to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the interest rate applicable at the time to Loans comprising the borrowing (in the case of the Borrowers) and (in the case of a Lender), at the Federal Funds Rate (for the first two Business Days after which such amount has not been repaid), and thereafter at the interest rate applicable to Loans comprising the borrowing.

SECTION 9.3 Exculpation. Neither the Agents nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable to any Secured Party for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under any Loan Document, or in connection therewith, except to the extent found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from their own willful misconduct or gross negligence, nor responsible for any recitals or warranties herein or therein, nor for the effectiveness, enforceability, validity or due execution of any Loan Document, nor for the creation, perfection or priority of any Liens purported to be created by any of the Loan Documents, or the validity, genuineness, enforceability, existence, value or sufficiency of any collateral security, nor to make any inquiry respecting the performance by the Borrowers of their Obligations. Any such inquiry which may be made by an Agent shall not obligate such Agent to make any further inquiry or to take any action. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon advice of counsel concerning legal matters and upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement or writing which such Agent believes to be genuine and to have been presented by a proper Person. Neither Agent shall have any duties or obligations

except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether any Default shall have occurred.

SECTION 9.4 Successor. Each of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may resign as such at any time upon at least 30 days’ prior notice to the Borrowers and all Lenders. If the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent at any time shall resign, the Required Lenders may appoint another Lender as a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, which shall thereupon become the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent hereunder. If no successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s giving notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral, as applicable, which shall be one of the Lenders or a commercial banking institution organized under the laws of the United States (or any State thereof) or a United States branch or agency of a commercial banking institution, and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000; provided, however, that if, such retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent is unable to find a commercial banking institution which is willing to accept such appointment and which meets the qualifications set forth in above, the retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, such successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be entitled to receive from the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent such documents of transfer and assignment as such successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent may reasonably request, and shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s or Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Article IX shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents, and Section 10.3 and Section 10.4, as applicable, shall continue to inure to its benefit.

SECTION 9.5 Loans by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall have the same rights and powers with respect to (x) the Loans made by them or any of their respective Affiliates, and (y) the Notes held by them or any of their respective Affiliates as any other Lender and may exercise the same as if they were not the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and their respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Cayman Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any Affiliate of either Borrower as if the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, were not the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, hereunder. Neither Agent shall have any responsibility or obligation to furnish to any Lender any information regarding the Cayman Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any Affiliate of either

Borrower, that such Agent obtains other than pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 9.6 Credit Decisions. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each other Lender, and based on such Lender’s review of the financial information of the Borrowers, the Loan Documents (the terms and provisions of which being satisfactory to such Lender) and such other documents, information and investigations as such Lender has deemed appropriate, made its own credit decision to extend its Commitments. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each other Lender, and based on such other documents, information and investigations as it shall deem appropriate at any time, continue to make its own credit decisions as to exercising or not exercising from time to time any rights and privileges available to it under the Loan Documents.

SECTION 9.7 Copies, etc. Each Agent shall give prompt notice to each Lender of each notice or request required or permitted to be given to each Agent by the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents (unless concurrently delivered to the Lenders by the Borrowers). Each Agent will distribute to each Lender each document or instrument received for its account and copies of all other communications received by each Agent from the Borrowers for distribution to the Lenders by each Agent in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.

SECTION 9.8 Reliance by Agents. The Agents shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by telephone, telecopy, telegram or cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agents. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents, the Agents shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, thereunder in accordance with instructions given by the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders as is required in such circumstance, and such instructions of such Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all Secured Parties. For purposes of applying amounts in accordance with this Section, the Agents shall be entitled to rely upon any Secured Party that has entered into a Hedging Agreement with either Borrower for a determination (which such Secured Party agrees to provide or cause to be provided upon request of the Agents) of the outstanding Obligations owed to such Secured Party under any Hedging Agreement. Unless it has actual knowledge evidenced by way of written notice from any such Secured Party and the Borrowers to the contrary, the Agents, in acting in such capacity under the Loan Documents, shall be entitled to assume that no Hedging Agreements or Obligations in respect thereof are in existence or outstanding between any Secured Party and either Borrower.

SECTION 9.9 Defaults. None of the Agents shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default unless such Agent has received a written notice from a Lender or the Borrowers specifying such Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. In the event that Administrative Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. The Agents shall (subject to Section 10.1) take such action with respect to such Default as shall be directed

by the Required Lenders; provided, that unless and until an Agent shall have received such directions, such Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Secured Parties except to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires that such action be taken, or not be taken, only with the consent or upon the authorization of the Required Lenders or all Lenders.

SECTION 9.10 Appointment of Supplemental Agent, Sub-Agent; etc. (a) In the event the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent reasonably deems it necessary to comply with applicable law or, with the consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), desirable, it may, in respect of the collateral securing the Obligations, appoint (with written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable) an additional individual or institution as a separate trustee, co trustee, agent or collateral co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a “Supplemental Agent”). Such Supplemental Agent shall have and shall be subject to, in respect of the collateral securing the Obligations, each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, with respect to such collateral, to the extent necessary to enable such Supplemental Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such collateral.

(a) Without limiting the provisions of the foregoing clause (a), the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable. The Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective officers, directors and employees.

(b) Should any instrument in writing from the Borrowers be required by any Supplemental Agent or sub-agent so appointed by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to more fully and certainly vest in and confirm to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrowers shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable. In case any Supplemental Agent or sub-agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Agent or sub-agent, or a successor thereto, to the extent permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, until the appointment of a new Supplemental Agent or sub-agent. The provisions of Sections 9.1, 9.3 and 10.4 that refer to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall inure to the benefit of each Supplemental Agent and each sub-agent and all references therein to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be deemed to be references to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, and/or each Supplemental Agent and/or sub-agent, as the context may require.

SECTION 9.11 Posting of Approved Electronic Communications.

(a) The Borrowers hereby agree, unless directed otherwise by the Administrative Agent or unless the electronic mail address referred to below has not been provided by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers, that it will, or will cause its Subsidiaries to, provide to the Administrative Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents, or to the Lenders under Section 7.1.1, including all notices, requests, financial statements, financial and other reports, certificates and other information materials, but excluding any such communication that (i) is or relates to a Borrowing Request, (ii) Continuation/Conversion Notice, (iii) relates to the payment of any principal or other amount due under this Agreement prior to the scheduled date therefor, (iv) provides notice of any Default or Event of Default under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (v) is required to be delivered to satisfy any condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement and/or the borrowing of the Loans (all such non-excluded communications being referred to herein collectively as “Communications”), by transmitting the Communications in an electronic/soft medium to such electronic mail address notified to the Borrowers in writing by the Administrative Agent. In addition, the Borrowers agree, and the Cayman Borrower agrees to cause its Subsidiaries, to continue to provide the Communications to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as the case may be, in the manner specified in the Loan Documents but only to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent.

(b) The Borrowers further agree that the Administrative Agent may make the Communications available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on Intralinks or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”).

(c) THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS IS MADE BY THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO THE BORROWERS, ANY LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR NOT BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY AND INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF EITHER BORROWER’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LIABILITY OF ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY IS FOUND IN A FINAL RULING BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FROM SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

(d) The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each

Lender agrees that receipt of notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that the Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

(e) Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.

SECTION 9.12 Release of Liens. Each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to release any Lien granted to or held by or in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties upon the occurrence of the Termination Date or in connection with (i) the Disposition of assets under the Loan Documents or (ii) a merger under the Loan Documents, so long as such Disposition or merger is otherwise permitted under the terms of a Loan Document; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, prior to any such release, request that the Borrowers certify in a written notice delivered to the Administrative Agent (with such detail as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request) that such Disposition or merger is made in compliance with the terms of the Loan Documents. The parties agree that each Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations under a Guaranty upon the Disposition of such Guarantor, so long as such Disposition or merger is otherwise permitted under the terms of the Loan Documents.

SECTION 9.13 New Intercreditor Agreement. In connection with any secured refinancing of the Loans pursuant to Section 7.2.2(a) or any secured financing of the Borrowers under Section 7.2.2(h), each of the Lenders hereby authorizes and instructs each Agent to enter into an intercreditor agreement (on terms substantially identical to those of the Intercreditor Agreement) with the holders of Indebtedness that refinanced the Loans or that financed the secured Indebtedness of the Borrowers under Section 7.2.2(h) (or an agent or trustee acting on their behalf), providing that such holders (or such agent or trustee) shall have the same Lien priority as the holders the Loans.

SECTION 9.14 Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If any Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with any and all expenses incurred.

ARTICLE X

No failure or delay on the part of any Lender or either Agent in exercising any power or right under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No notice to or demand on the Borrowers in any case shall entitle such Borrower to any notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No waiver or approval by any Lender or either Agent under any Loan Document shall, except as may be otherwise

(a) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of each Loan Document, including schedules and exhibits, and any amendments, waivers, consents, supplements or other modifications to any Loan Document as may from time to time hereafter be required, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated; and

(b) the filing or recording of any Loan Document (including the financing statements) and all amendments, supplements, amendment and restatements and other modifications to any thereof, searches made following the Effective Date in jurisdictions where financing statements (or other documents evidencing Liens in favor of the Secured Parties) have been recorded and any and all other documents or instruments of further assurance required to be filed or recorded by the terms of any Loan Document; and

The Borrowers also agrees to reimburse each Agent and each Lender upon demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses of counsel to the Agents and of counsel to each Lender) incurred by each Agent and each Lender in

connection with (x) the negotiation of any restructuring or “work-out” with the Borrowers, whether or not consummated, of any Obligations, (y) the enforcement of any Obligations and (z) in connection with the occurrence of any Event of Default.

Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers have the right to approve the appointment and engagement terms of all legal and other advisors to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with this transaction, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

SECTION 10.4 Indemnification. In consideration of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by each Lender and each Agent, the Borrowers hereby indemnify, exonerate and hold each Lender and each Agent and each of their respective Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisers, trustees, controlling persons and members of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) free and harmless from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, costs, liabilities and damages, and expenses incurred in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnified Party is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements, whether incurred in connection with actions between or among the parties hereto or the parties, hereto and third parties (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by the Indemnified Parties or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (regardless of whether such Indemnified Party is a party thereto and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by either Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates):

(a) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of any Loan, including all Indemnified Liabilities arising in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents;

(b) the entering into and performance of any Loan Document by any of the Indemnified Parties (including any action brought by or on behalf of either Borrower as the result of any determination by the Required Lenders pursuant to Article V not to fund any Loan, provided that any such action is resolved in favor of such Indemnified Party);

(c) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to any acquisition or proposed acquisition by the Cayman Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of all or any portion of the Capital Securities or assets of any Person, whether or not an Indemnified Party is party thereto;

(d) any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to any environmental cleanup, audit, compliance or other matter relating to the protection of the environment or the release by the Cayman Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any Hazardous Material;

(e) the presence on or under, or the escape, seepage, leakage, spillage, discharge, emission, discharging or releases from, any facility or real property owned, operated or leased by the Cayman Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any Hazardous Material (including any losses, liabilities, damages, injuries, costs, expenses or claims

asserted or arising under any Environmental Law), regardless of whether caused by, or within the control of, such Borrower or Subsidiary;

(f) each Lender’s Environmental Liability (the indemnification herein shall survive repayment of the Obligations and any transfer of any facility or real property of the Cayman Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries by foreclosure or by a deed in lieu of foreclosure for any Lender’s Environmental Liability, regardless of whether caused by, or within the control of, such Borrowers or Subsidiary); or

(g) any Indemnified Party’s enforcement or defending of the Loan Documents or such Indemnified Party’s relationship with either Borrower under any Loan Document;

except for Indemnified Liabilities arising for the account of a particular Indemnified Party by reason of the relevant Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct that have been finally determined and are non-appealable judgments from a court of competent jurisdiction. It is expressly understood and agreed that to the extent that any Indemnified Party is strictly liable under any Environmental Laws, the Borrowers’ obligation to such Indemnified Party under this indemnity shall likewise be without regard to fault on the part of the Borrowers with respect to the violation or condition which results in liability of an Indemnified Party. If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, the Borrowers agree to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.

SECTION 10.5 Survival. The obligations of the Borrowers under Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 10.3 and 10.4, and the obligations of the Lenders under Section 9.1, shall in each case survive any assignment from one Lender to another (in the case of Sections 10.3 and 10.4) and the occurrence of the Termination Date. The representations and warranties made by the Borrowers in each Loan Document shall survive the execution and delivery of such Loan Document.

SECTION 10.6 Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such provision and such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of such Loan Document or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 10.7 Headings. The various headings of each Loan Document are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of such Loan Document or any provisions thereof.

SECTION 10.8 Execution in Counterparts, Effectiveness, etc. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in several counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which shall constitute together but one and the same agreement. This Agreement shall become effective when counterparts hereof executed on behalf of the Borrowers, the Agents, the Documentation Agent and each Lender (or notice thereof satisfactory to the Administrative Agent), shall have been received by the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 10.9 Governing Law; Entire Agreement. EACH LOAN DOCUMENT (EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN A LOAN DOCUMENT) WILL EACH BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER AND GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (INCLUDING FOR SUCH PURPOSE SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK). The Loan Documents constitute the entire understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter thereof and supersede any prior agreements, written or oral, with respect thereto.

SECTION 10.10 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that the Borrowers may not assign or transfer their respective rights or obligations hereunder without the consent of all Lenders.

SECTION 10.11 Sale and Transfer of Loans; Participations in Loans and Commitments. Each Lender may assign, or sell participations in, its Loans, Commitments and Synthetic Revolving Deposits to one or more other Persons in accordance with the terms set forth below.

(a) Any Lender may, with the consent of, except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), assign to one or more Persons all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Term Loans (including all or a portion of its Term Loan Commitments and the Term Loans at the time owing to it); provided that:

(i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Term Loan Commitments and the Term Loans at the time owing to it, the amount of the Term Loan Commitments or Term Loans so assigned shall not be less than $1,000,000 and shall be in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof;

(ii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Lender Assignment Agreement via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually), and shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), and if the assignee is not already a Lender, administrative details information with respect to such assignee and applicable tax forms; and

(iii) the assignor Lender shall furnish the Borrowers with notice of such assignment.

(b) Any Lender may assign to one or more Persons a portion of its rights and obligations and Commitments under this Agreement with respect to the Revolving Loans and Synthetic Revolving Deposits; provided that:

(i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitments and the Revolving Loans at the time owing to it and except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Synthetic Revolving Deposits, the amount of the Revolving Loan Commitments, Revolving Loans or Synthetic Revolving Deposits, as applicable, so assigned shall not be less than $5,000,000 and shall be in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof;

(ii) in the case of any such assignment by a Lender that is a Joint Lead Arranger, such Lender’s Revolving Loans outstanding plus such Lender’s Percentage of the then unused Revolving Loan Commitment Amount shall not be less than $50,000,000, after giving effect to such assignment;

(iii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a Lender Assignment Agreement via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent (or, if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, manually), and shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), and if the assignee is not already a Lender, administrative details information with respect to such assignee and applicable tax forms;

(iv) the assignor Lender shall furnish the Cayman Borrower with notice of such assignment;

(v) the assignee must be an Approved Bank; and

(vi) no Person may hold, in the aggregate, greater than $125,000,000 of Revolving Loan Commitments or have more than $125,000,000 of Revolving Loans owing to it at any time.

(c) Subject to the recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (d), from and after the effective date specified in each Lender Assignment Agreement, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Lender Assignment Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Lender Assignment Agreement, subject to Section 10.5, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of a Lender Assignment Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto, but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of any provisions of this Agreement which by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement). Any term or provision hereof to the contrary notwithstanding, no portion of any Synthetic Revolving Deposit of any assigning Lender shall be refunded in connection with any assignment by such Lender, but instead (x) the applicable Eligible Assignee shall purchase from such assigning Lender that portion of the Synthetic Revolving Deposit identified in the applicable Lender Assignment Agreement for such consideration as mutually agreed upon by such

Approved Bank and the assigning Lender; and (y) such assigned portion of such Synthetic Revolving Deposit shall remain on deposit in the Synthetic Revolving Deposit Account and, upon the effectiveness of such assignment, shall become the Synthetic Revolving Deposit of such Eligible Assignee. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with clauses (a) and (b) 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 clause (d).

(d) The Administrative Agent shall record each assignment made in accordance with this Section 10.11 in the Register pursuant to clause (a) of Section 2.5. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In connection with each assignment of Synthetic Revolving Deposits, the applicable Synthetic Revolving Deposit of the assigning Lender shall not be released, but shall instead be purchased by the relevant assignee and continue to be held for application (to the extent not already applied) in accordance with Article II to satisfy such assignee’s obligations in respect of Synthetic Revolving Loans. Each Lender with a Synthetic Revolving Deposit agrees that immediately prior to each assignment by a Lender (i) the Administrative Agent shall establish a new Synthetic Revolving Deposit Sub-Account in the name of the assignee Lender, (ii) unless otherwise consented to by the Administrative Agent, a corresponding portion of the applicable Synthetic Revolving Deposit credited to the Synthetic Revolving Deposit Sub-Account of the assigning Lender shall be purchased by the assignee Lender and shall be transferred from the assigning Lender’s Synthetic Revolving Deposit Sub-Account to the assignee Lender’s Synthetic Revolving Deposit Sub-Account, and (iii) if after giving effect to such assignment the applicable Synthetic Revolving Deposit of assigning Lender shall be zero, the Administrative Agent shall close the applicable Synthetic Revolving Deposit Sub-Account of such assignor.

(e) Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and/or Loans owing to it and/or any portion of the Synthetic Revolving Deposit made by it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the applicable Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to any of the items set forth in clauses (a) through (e) of Section 10.1, in each case except as otherwise specifically provided in a Loan Document. Subject to clause (e), the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 7.1.1, 10.3 and 10.4 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment

pursuant to clause (b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.9 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to the subject to Section 4.8 as though it were a Lender,

(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 10.3 and 10.4 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the applicable Borrower’s prior written consent. In addition, if at the time of the sale of such participation, any greater Taxes subject to payment under Section 4.6 would apply to the Participant than applied to the applicable Lender, then such Participant shall not be entitled to any payment under Section 4.6 with respect to the portion of such Taxes as exceeds the Taxes applicable to the Lender at the time of the sale of the participation unless the Participant’s request for the applicable Borrower’s prior written consent for the Participation described in the first sentence of this clause states that such greater Taxes would be applicable to such Participant.

(g) Each Lender that sells a participating interest in any Loan or Synthetic Revolving Deposit to a Participant shall, as agent of the applicable Borrower solely for the purpose of this Section 10.11, record in book entries maintained by such Lender the name and the amount of the participating interest of each Participant entitled to receive payments in respect of such participating interests.

(h) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

SECTION 10.12 Other Transactions. Nothing contained herein shall preclude either Agent or any Lender from engaging in any transaction, in addition to those contemplated by the Loan Documents, with either Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates in which such Borrower or Affiliate is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person.

SECTION 10.13 Forum Selection and Consent to Jurisdiction. ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE COLLATERAL AGENT, THE LENDERS OR THE BORROWERS IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH MAY BE BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT ANY SUIT SEEKING ENFORCEMENT AGAINST ANY COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE BROUGHT, AT THE AGENTS’ OPTION, IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION WHERE SUCH COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE FOUND. EACH BORROWER

HEREBY IRREVOCABLY APPOINTS CT CORPORATION SYSTEMS (THE “PROCESS AGENT”), WITH AN OFFICE ON THE DATE HEREOF AT ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, AS ITS AGENT TO RECEIVE, ON ITS BEHALF AND ON BEHALF OF ITS PROPERTY, SERVICE OF COPIES OF THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT AND ANY OTHER PROCESS WHICH MAY BE SERVED IN ANY SUCH LITIGATION OR ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING. SUCH SERVICE MAY BE MADE BY MAILING OR DELIVERING A COPY OF SUCH PROCESS TO SUCH PERSON IN CARE OF THE PROCESS AGENT AT THE PROCESS AGENT’S ABOVE ADDRESS, AND EACH BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AUTHORIZES AND DIRECTS THE PROCESS AGENT TO ACCEPT SUCH SERVICE ON ITS BEHALF. AS AN ALTERNATIVE METHOD OF SERVICE, EACH BORROWER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS BY REGISTERED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, OR BY PERSONAL SERVICE WITHIN OR WITHOUT THE STATE OF NEW YORK AT THE ADDRESS FOR NOTICES SPECIFIED IN SECTION 10.2. EACH BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE OR HEREAFTER MAY HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

SECTION 10.14 Waiver of Jury Trial. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE COLLATERAL AGENT, EACH LENDER AND EACH BORROWER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, EACH LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE COLLATERAL AGENT, SUCH LENDER OR EACH BORROWER IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. EACH BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT HAS RECEIVED FULL AND SUFFICIENT CONSIDERATION FOR THIS PROVISION (AND EACH OTHER PROVISION OF EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY) AND THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE COLLATERAL AGENT AND EACH LENDER ENTERING INTO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

SECTION 10.15 Judgment Currency. This is an international loan transaction in which the specification of Dollars and payment in New York City is of the essence, and the obligations of each Borrower under this Agreement to make payment to (or for the account of) a Lender in Dollars shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any other currency or in another place except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by such Lender in New York City of the full amount of Dollars payable to such Lender under this Agreement. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in Dollars into another currency (in this Section 10.15 called the “judgment currency”), the rate of exchange that shall be applied shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the

Administrative Agent could purchase such Dollars at its New York City office with the judgment currency on the Business Day next preceding the day on which such judgment is rendered. The obligation of each Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to either Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any Loan Document (in this Section 10.15 called an “Entitled Person”) shall, notwithstanding the rate of exchange actually applied in rendering such judgment, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Entitled Person of any sum adjudged to be due hereunder in the judgment currency such Entitled Person may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase and transfer Dollars to New York City with the amount of the judgment currency so adjudged to be due; and such Borrower hereby, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agrees to indemnify such Entitled Person against, and to pay such Entitled Person on demand, in Dollars, the amount (if any) by which the sum originally due to such Entitled Person in Dollars hereunder exceeds the amount of the Dollars so purchased and transferred.

SECTION 10.16 Confidentiality. The Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall hold all non-public information obtained pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document about each Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates in accordance with their customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature, but may make disclosure (a) pursuant to the order of any court or administrative agency or in any pending legal or administrative proceeding, or otherwise as required by applicable law or compulsory legal process, (b) upon the request or demand of any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over any Lender, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any of their Affiliates, (c) to the extent that such information becomes publicly available other than by reason of disclosure in violation of this Section, (d) to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any of their Affiliates and their respective employees, legal counsel, independent auditors and other experts or agents who need to know such information in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Loan Documents and who are informed of the confidential nature of such information, (e) to assignees, participants or hedge or swap counterparties (and their respective professional advisors) or potential assignees, participants or hedge or swap counterparties (and their respective professional advisors) who agree to be bound by the terms of this Section or substantially similar confidentiality provisions or (f) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any party to this Agreement (and each Affiliate, director, officer, employee, agent or representative of the foregoing or such Affiliate) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated herein and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such party relating to such tax treatment or tax structure. The foregoing language is not intended to waive any confidentiality obligations otherwise applicable under this Agreement except with respect to the information and materials specifically referenced in the preceding sentence. This authorization does not extend to disclosure of any other information, including (i) the identity of participants or potential participants in the transactions contemplated herein (and no party shall disclose any information relating to such tax treatment and tax structure to the extent nondisclosure is reasonably necessary in order to comply with applicable securities laws (it being understood that, for such purpose, the tax treatment of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is the purported or claimed U.S. Federal income tax treatment of such transactions and the tax structure of such transaction is any fact that

may be relevant to understanding the purported or claimed U.S. Federal income tax treatment of such transactions), (ii) the existence or status of any negotiations, or (iii) any financial, business, legal or personal information of or regarding a party or its affiliates, or of or regarding any participants or potential participants in the transactions contemplated herein (or any of their respective affiliates), in each case to the extent such other information is not related to the tax treatment or tax structure of the transactions contemplated herein.

SECTION 10.17 Independence of Covenants and Default Provisions. All covenants and default provisions contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be given independent effect such that, in the event a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants or default provisions, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant or default provision shall not, unless expressly so provided in such first covenant or default provision, avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or such condition exists

SECTION 10.18 Counsel Representation. EACH BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED BY COMPETENT COUNSEL IN THE NEGOTIATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT ANY RULE OR CONSTRUCTION OF LAW ENABLING SUCH BORROWER TO ASSERT THAT ANY AMBIGUITIES OR INCONSISTENCIES IN THE DRAFTING OR PREPARATION OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT SHOULD DIMINISH ANY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES OF THE AGENTS OR THE OTHER SECURED PARTIES ARE HEREBY WAIVED BY SUCH BORROWER.

SECTION 10.19 No Immunity. To the extent that the Borrowers may be or become entitled, in any jurisdiction in which judicial proceedings may at any time be commenced with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, to claim for itself or its property any immunity from suit, court jurisdiction, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of a judgment, execution of a judgment or from any other legal process or remedy relating to its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and to the extent that in any such jurisdiction there may be attributed such an immunity (whether or not claimed), the Borrowers hereby irrevocably agree not to claim and hereby irrevocably waives such immunity to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of such jurisdiction and agrees that the foregoing waiver shall have the fullest extent permitted under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 of the United States of America and is intended to be irrevocable for purposes of such Act.

SECTION 10.20 Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of the Borrowers and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Patriot Act.

SECTION 10.21 Joint and Several Obligations. All obligations of the Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be joint and several.
