Not later than 2:00 p.m., three Business Days before the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower (which notice may be by telephone) whether or not the requested Interest Period has been consented to by all the Lenders. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Sections 2.03(f) and 2.04(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.

If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.

(b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender in writing or by telecopier or other electronic communication of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender in writing or by telecopier or other electronic communication of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in Section 2.02(a). In the case of a Term Borrowing or a Revolving Credit Borrowing, each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent by wire transfer of such funds to an account designated by the Borrower in writing, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower; provided, however, that if, on the date the Committed Loan Notice with respect to any Revolving Borrowing is given by the Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings and, second, shall be made available to the Borrower as provided above.

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued upon the expiration of any applicable Interest Period or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of an Event of Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent of the Required

Lenders. During the existence of a Default that is not an Event of Default, no Loans may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders, unless converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans with Interest Periods of one month.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders (in writing or by telecopier or other electronic communication) of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in Credit Suisse’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the announcement of such change.

(e) After giving effect to all Term Borrowings, all Revolving Credit Borrowings, all conversions of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than six Interest Periods in effect.

(f) The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

(g) Anything in this Section 2.02 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may not select Eurodollar Rate for any Borrowing if the obligation of the Appropriate Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall then be suspended pursuant to Section 2.09 or 2.10.

The foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall not impair any claim of the Borrower as provided in Section 10.04(d).

(d) Letter of Credit Reports. In addition to notifying the Administrative Agent of each new, expired, modified or terminated Letter of Credit at the time such Letter of Credit is issued, modified, terminated or expires, each L/C Issuer shall furnish (i) to the Administrative Agent (who shall furnish to each Revolving Credit Lender) and the Borrower on or about the last Business Day of each calendar month and each calendar quarter a written report summarizing issuance and expiration dates of Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer during the preceding month and quarter, as the case may be, and drawings during such calendar month or quarter under all Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer and (ii) to the Administrative Agent (who shall furnish to each Revolving Credit Lender) and the Borrower on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter a written report setting forth the average daily aggregate amount of Letters of Credit available to be drawn during such calendar quarter of all Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer.

(e) Participations in Letters of Credit. Upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit by the L/C Issuer under Section 2.03(b), the L/C Issuer shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have sold to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each such Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have purchased from the L/C Issuer, a participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount for each Revolving Credit Lender equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of such Letter of Credit available to be drawn, effective upon the issuance of such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Credit Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each L/C Disbursement made by the L/C Issuer and not reimbursed by the Borrower forthwith on the date due as provided in Section 2.03(c) (or which has been so reimbursed but must be returned or restored by the L/C Issuer because of the occurrence of an event specified in Section 8.01(f) or otherwise) (an “Unreimbursed Amount”) by making available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative

Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer by deposit to the Administrative Agent’s account, in same day funds, an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such L/C Disbursement. Each Revolving Credit Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this Section 2.03(e) in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or the termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any off-set, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. If and to the extent that any Revolving Credit Lender shall not have so made the amount of such L/C Disbursement available to the Administrative Agent, such Revolving Credit Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such L/C Disbursement is due pursuant to Section 2.03(c) until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for its account or the account of the L/C Issuer. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such amount for the account of the L/C Issuer on any Business Day, such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute an L/C Advance made by such Lender on such Business Day for purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal amount of an L/C Advance made by the L/C Issuer shall be reduced by such amount on such Business Day.

(f) Drawing and Reimbursement. The payment by the L/C Issuer of a draft drawn under any Letter of Credit shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement the making by the L/C Issuer of an L/C Advance, which shall be a Base Rate Loan, in the amount of such draft.

(g) Failure to Make L/C Advances. The failure of any Lender to make an L/C Advance to be made by it on the date specified in Section 2.03(e) shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its L/C Advance on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the L/C Advance to be made by such other Lender on such date.

(h) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, (i) if the L/C Issuer has made an L/C Disbursement under any Letter of Credit and such L/C Disbursement has resulted in an L/C Borrowing or (ii) if, as of the date five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date then in effect for the Revolving Credit Facility, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize 105% of the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations. Sections 2.05 and 8.02(c) set forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder. For purposes of this Section 2.03, Section 2.05 and Section 8.02(c), “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, Cash Collateral shall be maintained in the Cash Collateral Account. If at any time the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or that the total amount of such funds is less than 105% of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, the Borrower will, forthwith upon written demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in the deposit accounts at Credit Suisse as aforesaid, an amount equal to the excess of (a) 105% of such aggregate Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the Administrative Agent reasonably determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable law, to reimburse the L/C Issuer.

(i) Applicability of ISP98. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit.

(j) Letter of Credit Fees, Etc.

(i) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage a per annum Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Loans times the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable (A) on a quarterly basis in arrears on the last Business Day of each quarter, commencing on the last Business Day of March 2007 and (B) on the Maturity Date in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility, in each case on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year. If there is any change in the Applicable Margin during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Margin separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Margin was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.

(ii) The Borrower shall pay to the L/C Issuer, for its own account, such commissions, issuance fees, fronting fees, transfer fees and other fees and charges in connection with the issuance or administration of each Letter of Credit as the Borrower and the L/C Issuer shall agree, with the initial fronting fee equal to 0.25% per annum on the maximum amount available to be drawn under all Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer payable (A) on a quarterly basis in arrears on the last Business Day of each quarter, commencing on the last Business Day of March 2007 and (B) on the Maturity Date in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility, in each case on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year.

2.04 Swing Line Loans.

(a) The Swing Line. The Swing Line Lender agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment, and (iii) prior to the Existing Notes Repayment Date, the Total Outstandings under the Revolving Credit Facility shall not exceed an amount equal to (A) $12,500,000 less (B) the amount, if any, by which the principal balance of the indebtedness outstanding under the Existing Facility immediately prior to the Closing Date is less than $7,500,000, and provided further that the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.05, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in

such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be in an amount of $250,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Revolving Credit Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (a) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (b) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will make the amount of the requested Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower as designated in the Notice of Swing Line Borrowing, in same day funds.

(c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.

(i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), or in any event automatically upon the maturity of each Swing Line Loan as set forth in Section 2.07(c), that each other Revolving Credit Lender make a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Revolving Credit Lender shall make an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Revolving Credit Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

(ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Revolving Credit Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Revolving Credit Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Revolving Credit Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

(iii) If any Revolving Credit Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender

pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

(d) Repayment of Participations. If any payment received by the Administrative Agent in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Administrative Agent under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05, each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Revolving Credit Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Applicable Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

2.05 Prepayments.

(a) Optional.

(i) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (1) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (2) one Business Day Prior to any date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; and (B) any partial prepayment shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment,

the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein and each such prepayment shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be applied pro rata to the remaining principal repayment installments thereof; provided that such prepayment shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Eurodollar Rate Loans, in each case in a manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.05(a).

(ii) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (A) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (B) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $250,000. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.

(iii) No Lender may reject any voluntary prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.05(a).

(b) Mandatory.

(i) Within five Business Days (subject to Section 2.05(c)) after the date the Borrower is required to deliver financial statements pursuant to Section 6.01(a) and the related Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 6.02(b), the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to the amount by which (i) 50% of Excess Cash Flow for the fiscal year covered by such financial statements (commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007) exceeds (ii) the aggregate amount of all voluntary prepayments made during such fiscal year pursuant to Section 2.05(a) to the extent that such voluntary prepayments resulted in corresponding permanent reductions of Commitments, in each case to the extent such payments were not and have not been funded with additional Indebtedness and are not otherwise financed; provided, however, with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, Excess Cash Flow shall be determined for the period from the Closing Date to December 31, 2007 (unless the initial funding under the Term Facility occurs after March 31, 2007, in which case beginning with the first full fiscal year ended after the Closing Date).

(ii) If any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries Disposes of any property or assets (other than any Disposition of any property or assets permitted by Section 7.05(b), (c), (d), (e), (g), (h), (i) or (j)) and the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds received by the Loan Parties and such Subsidiaries in any fiscal year exceeds $1,500,000, the Borrower shall immediately (subject to Section 2.05(c)) prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds, and thereafter as and when additional Net Cash Proceeds are received during such year in an aggregate amount of $500,000 or more, the Borrower shall immediately (subject to Section 2.05(c)) further prepay the principal of the Loans in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided, however, that, with respect to any Net Cash Proceeds realized (A) under a Disposition described in this Section 2.05(b)(ii) or (B) from proceeds of insurance and condemnation awards or indemnities covered by Section 2.05(b)(v), (1) at the option of the Borrower (as elected by the Borrower in writing to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date of such Disposition or the receipt of such insurance proceeds or condemnation awards), and so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower may reinvest

all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in operating assets so long as (a) within 180 days following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, a definitive agreement for the purchase of such assets with such proceeds shall have been entered into (as certified by the Borrower in writing to the Administrative Agent), and (b) within 270 days after the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, such purchase shall have been consummated (as certified by the Borrower in writing to the Administrative Agent); provided further, however, that any Net Cash Proceeds not subject to such definitive agreement or so reinvested shall be immediately applied to the prepayment of the Loans as set forth in this Section 2.05; and (2) any amount reinvested under clause (A) shall not be included in determining the amount of any required prepayment of the Loans under this Section 2.05(b)(ii).

(iii) Upon the sale or issuance by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any of its Equity Interests (other than (A) issuances to directors, management or employees in the ordinary course of business pursuant to pension plans or compensation arrangements, (B) issuances to the Sponsor and the other Investors, (C) issuances to finance Permitted Acquisitions permitted under Section 7.03(i), (D) issuances to finance Capital Expenditures Permitted under Section 7.12 and (E) issuances by Holdings to refinance the Acquisition Loan (or any Indebtedness incurred to refinance the Acquisition Loan)), the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 50% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom immediately (subject to Section 2.05(c)) upon receipt thereof by any Loan Party or such Subsidiary.

(iv) Upon the incurrence or issuance by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any Indebtedness of the type referred to in clause (a) of the definition of “Indebtedness” (other than Indebtedness permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 7.02 and Indebtedness incurred by Holdings to refinance the Acquisition Loan (or any Indebtedness incurred to refinance the Acquisition Loan)), the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom immediately (subject to Section 2.05(c)) upon receipt thereof by any Loan Party or such Subsidiary.

(v) Upon any Extraordinary Receipt received by or paid to or for the account of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, and not otherwise covered in clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this Section 2.05(b), the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom immediately (subject to Section 2.05(c)) upon receipt thereof by any Loan Party or such Subsidiary.

(vi) If for any reason the Total Outstandings under any Facility at any time exceed the Aggregate Commitments then in effect with respect to such Facility, the Borrower shall immediately prepay the applicable Loans and/or (in the case of the Revolving Credit Facility) Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.05(b)(vi) unless, after the prepayment in full of the Loans and Swing Line Loans, the Total Outstandings exceed the Aggregate Commitments then in effect.

(vii) Each prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall be applied, first, ratably to the remaining principal repayment installments of the Term Facility until all such installments are paid in full, irrespective of whether such outstanding Term Loans are Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans; provided that if no Lenders exercise the right to waive a given mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(c), then, with respect to such mandatory prepayment, the amount of such mandatory prepayment shall be applied first to Term Loans that are Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Term Loans that

are Eurodollar Rate Loans in a manner that minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.05(a), and, thereafter, ratably to the Revolving Credit Facility without a permanent reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that any prepayment of the Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to clause (vi) shall be applied as set forth herein, subject in each case to the provisions of Section 2.05(c).

(viii) Prepayments of the Revolving Credit Facility made pursuant to clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) or (vii) of this Section 2.05(b), first, shall be applied to prepay L/C Borrowings outstanding at such time until all such L/C Borrowings are paid in full, second, shall be applied to prepay Swing Line Loans outstanding at such time until all such Swing Line Loans are paid in full, third, shall be applied to prepay Revolving Credit Loans outstanding at such time until all such Revolving Credit Loans are paid in full and, fourth, shall be used to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations (in the case of a prepayment pursuant to clause (vi), subject to the proviso to such clause (vi)); and, in the case of prepayments of the Revolving Credit Facility required pursuant to clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) of this Section 2.05(b), the amount remaining, if any, after the prepayment in full of all Loans and L/C Borrowings outstanding at such time and the L/C Obligations have been Cash Collateralized in full may be retained by the Borrower for use in the ordinary course of its business unless required to be used to prepay loans under the Second Lien Credit Agreement, in which case the Borrower shall make such prepayment. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit which has been Cash Collateralized, such funds shall be applied (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to reimburse the L/C Issuer or the Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable.

(ix) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, at the time any amount otherwise required to be applied to the prepayment of Term Loans under this Section 2.05(b) (such amount being referred to as the “Prepayment Amount”), the full amount of all Term Loans have been paid in full and there remain any outstanding Term Commitments, then, in lieu of applying such Prepayment Amount to the Term Loans, the Term Commitments shall automatically be reduced by the Prepayment Amount.

(c) Term Lender Opt-out. With respect to any prepayment of the Term Facility pursuant to Section 2.05(b), any Term Lender, at its option, may elect not to accept such prepayment. Upon the date set forth in Section 2.05(b) for any such prepayment of the Term Facility, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of Prepayment Amount. Promptly after the date of receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall provide written notice (the “First Offer”) to the Term Lenders of the amount available to prepay the Term Loans. Any Lender declining such prepayment (a “Declining Lender”) shall give written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m. no later than two Business Days after the date of such notice from the Administrative Agent. On such date, the Administrative Agent shall then provide written notice (the “Second Offer”) to the Term Lenders other than the Declining Lenders (such Lenders being the “Accepting Lenders”) of the additional amount available (due to such Declining Lenders’ declining such prepayment) to prepay Term Loans owing to such Accepting Lenders. Any Lender declining prepayment pursuant to such Second Offer shall give written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent by 11:00 a.m. no later than two Business Days after the date of such notice of a Second Offer. The Borrower shall prepay the Loans as set forth in Section 2.05(b) within three Business Days after its receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent of the aggregate amount of such prepayment. Amounts remaining after the allocation of accepted amounts with respect to the First Offer and the Second Offer to Accepting Lenders (other than amounts allocated to the reduction of the Term Commitments in accordance with Section 2.05(b)(ix)) shall be used by the Borrower to prepay loans under the Revolving Credit Facility as provided in Section 2.05(b)(viii) above, and the amounts remaining, if any, will be used by the Borrower to offer to prepay loans under the Second Lien Credit Agreement (and, after all required prepayments have been made under the Second

Lien Credit Agreement, the amount then remaining shall, at the option of the Borrower, be retained by the Borrower or, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.06 and 7.15, distributed by the Borrower to Holdings for the sole purpose of repaying the Acquisition Loan (or any Indebtedness incurred to refinance the Acquisition Loan)); provided that at any time after the Term Loans have been repaid or prepaid in full, notwithstanding the provisions of this sentence, any prepayments required by Section 2.05(b) shall be applied as set forth in clause (vii) thereof.

2.06 Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

(a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the unused portions of the Term Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit, or the unused Revolving Credit Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the unused portions of the Term Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit, or the unused Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. five Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of at least $500,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, and (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the unused portions of the Term Commitments, the Letter of Credit Sublimit, or the unused Revolving Credit Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Commitments.

(b) Mandatory.

(i) The Term Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero upon the earlier of (i) May 1, 2007 and (ii) the date of the third Term Borrowing (or the first or second Term Borrowing, if the entire amount of the Term Facility is drawn as a part of such Borrowing).

(ii) If after giving effect to any reduction or termination of unused Revolving Credit Commitments under this Section 2.06, the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, such Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess.

(c) Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination or reduction of unused portions of the Letter of Credit Sublimit, or the unused Revolving Credit Commitment under this Section 2.06. Upon any reduction of unused Commitments under a Facility, the Commitment of each Lender under such Facility shall be reduced by such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount by which such Facility is reduced. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

2.07 Repayment of Loans.

(a) Term Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Term Lenders the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans outstanding in quarterly payments of $375,000 (which amount shall be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with Section 2.06) on March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 of each year, commencing on March 31, 2007 (provided that if such date is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day); provided, however, that (i) no payments pursuant to this Section 2.07(a) shall be made prior to the Existing Notes Repayment Date unless and except to the extent permitted under the Existing Indenture, and (ii) the final principal repayment

installment of the Term Loans shall be paid on the Maturity Date for the Term Facility and in any event shall be in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans outstanding on such date.

(b) Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Revolving Credit Lenders on the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facility the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such date.

(c) Swing Line Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Swing Line Lender and any Revolving Credit Lender that has purchased a participation in a Swing Line Loan pursuant to Section 2.04 the outstanding principal amount of each Swing Line Loan on the Maturity Date.

2.08 Interest.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.08(b), (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin; (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; and (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) (i) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), (f) or (g), then upon the written request of the Required Lenders, all Obligations not paid when due shall thereafter, until such Default or Event of Default no longer exists, bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(ii) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

2.09 Fees. In addition to certain fees described in Section 2.03(j):

(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum times the actual daily amount by which the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments (minus, at all times prior to the Existing Notes Repayment Date, the amount of the Delayed Revolver Commitment) exceed the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of Revolving Credit Loans and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations; provided, however, that any commitment fee accrued with respect to any of the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such commitment fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrower prior to such time; and provided further that no commitment fee shall accrue on any of the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. The commitment fee shall accrue at all times from the Closing Date to the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facility, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions

in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable (i) quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the last Business Day of March 2007, and (ii) on the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facility, in each case on the basis of the number of days elapsed over a 360-day year.

(b) Other Fees.

(i) The Borrower shall pay to the Arranger and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

(ii) The Borrower shall pay to the Agents such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Agents in writing, such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

2.10 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by reference to Credit Suisse’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

2.11 Evidence of Indebtedness.

(a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.11(a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

(c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Section 2.11(b), and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Section 2.11(a), shall be

prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

2.12 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.

(a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. All payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. may, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

(b) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(ii) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such

amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 9.05 are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to fund any such participation or make payments pursuant to Section 9.05 on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or purchase its participation or make payments pursuant to Section 9.05.

(e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

(f) Authorization. The Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender, if and to the extent payment owed to such Lender is not made when due hereunder or, in the case of a Lender holding a Note, under the Note held by such Lender, to charge from time to time against any or all of the Borrower’s accounts with such Lender any amount so due.

(g) Insufficient Payment. Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Agents and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Agents and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 8.03. If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the sum of (i) the Outstanding Amount of all Loans outstanding at such time and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans or other Obligations then owing to such Lender.

2.13 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it, resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit

of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that:

(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this Section 2.13 shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.13 shall apply).

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

2.14 Increase in Term Commitments.

(a) Request for Increase. After the Existing Notes Repayment Date, and so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Term Lenders), the Borrower may from time to time, but on no more than three occasions prior to the maturity of the Term Facility, request an increase in the Term Commitments (a “Term Commitment Increase”) to be made available to the Borrower; provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (ii) such Term Commitment Increase, plus all previous Term Commitment Increases, shall not exceed $30,000,000, and (iii) any such Term Commitment Increase shall mature on the Maturity Date. At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Term Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Term Lenders).

(b) Lender Elections to Increase. Each Term Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Term Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its ratable portion (based on such Term Lender’s Applicable Percentage in respect of the Term Facility) of such requested increase. Any Term Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its Term Commitment.

(c) Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Term Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Term Lender of the Term Lenders’ responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase, and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Borrower may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become Term Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Effective Date and Allocations. If the Term Commitments are increased in accordance with this Section 2.14, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the

effective date (the “Term Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Term Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the Term Increase Effective Date.

(e) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to such increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party dated as of the Term Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (ii) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the Borrower is in compliance, calculated as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) or Section 6.01(b), with the financial covenants specified in Section 7.11 on a pro forma basis after giving effect thereto, and (B) the conditions set forth in Sections 4.02(a) and (b) have been satisfied.

(f) Incremental Term Commitment Amendment. Any increase in Term Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be effected pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Term Commitment Amendment”) to this Agreement, executed by the Loan Parties, the Lenders providing such increased Term Commitments (and no other Lenders) and the Administrative Agent. Any Incremental Term Commitment Amendment may, without the consent of any Lenders other than the Lenders providing the increased Term Commitments, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.14.

(g) Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 10.01 to the contrary.

Article III
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01), the Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01) paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and

reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

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

(e) Status of Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law and as are reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States, any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,

(ii) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or

(iv) any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid

additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and withholding at any amounts as required under applicable Law and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in the event the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection (f) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to file its returns in a particular manner or to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

3.02 Illegality. If any Law has made it unlawful, or any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.

3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, or that Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and the Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

3.04 Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement taken into account in determining the Eurodollar Rate) or the L/C Issuer;

(ii) subject any Lender or the L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter of Credit or any Eurodollar Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender or the L/C Issuer in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer); or

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

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the L/C Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 3.04 or in Section 3.05, and specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such compensation, and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Borrower shall not be obligated to make any payment to any Lender or the L/C Issuer under this Section 3.04 in respect of any Change in Law for any period more than 180 days prior to the date on which such Lender or L/C Issuer gives written notice to the Borrower of its intent to request such payment under this Section 3.04;

provided, however, that if such Change in Law has retroactive effect, the Borrower shall be required to make any such payments for the period of retroactivity.

3.05 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss (other than lost profit), cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or

(b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower;

including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or the L/C Issuer in connection with any such filing or assignment, delegation and transfer.

3.07 Survival. This Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 7.11(d) shall prevent the Borrower from issuing Equity Interests for cash in an aggregate amount in excess of the amount sufficient to cause compliance with the Financial Covenants for the relevant testing period; provided that such excess to the extent it exceeds 100% of the Cure Amount shall not be added to EBITDA for the purpose of calculating compliance with the Financial Covenants or any other purpose.

(ii) The Borrower shall not be entitled to exercise the Equity Cure any more than five times prior to the Maturity Date and the Equity Cure may not be exercised more than two times within any consecutive four fiscal quarters.

(iii) Upon the delivery by the Borrower of a Cure Notice, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to exist pursuant to the Financial Covenants (and any such Default or Event of Default shall be retroactively considered not to have existed or occurred). If the Equity Cure is not consummated within 15 Business Days after delivery of the Cure Notice, each such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed reinstated.

(iv) The cash amount received by the Borrower pursuant to exercise of the right to make an Equity Cure shall be added to EBITDA for the last quarter of the immediately preceding testing period solely for purposes of recalculating compliance with the Financial Covenants for such period and of calculating the Financial Covenants as of the end of the next three following periods. The Equity Cure shall not be taken into account for purposes of calculating the Financial Covenants in order to determine pro forma compliance with the Financial Covenants for purposes of the incurrence of any Debt, the undertaking of any Permitted Acquisition or the making of any Capital Expenditure or for any other purpose.

7.12 Capital Expenditures. Make or become legally obligated to make any Capital Expenditure, except for Capital Expenditures not exceeding, in the aggregate for the Borrower and its Subsidiaries during (a) each of fiscal years 2007, 2008 and 2009, $12,000,000, (b) fiscal year 2010 and (c) each subsequent fiscal year, $12,500,000; provided, however, that so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from any such expenditure, up to 100% of such amount, if not expended in the fiscal year for which it is permitted, may be carried over for expenditure in the next following fiscal year (the “Capital Expenditure Carryover Amount”); provided further that any Capital Expenditures made in a particular fiscal year shall first be deemed to have been made with the portion of Capital Expenditures permitted for such fiscal year, before the Capital Expenditure Carryover Amount is applied to such fiscal year. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary with respect to any fiscal year of the Borrower during which a Permitted Acquisition is consummated and for each fiscal year subsequent thereto, the amount of Capital Expenditures permitted under the preceding sentence applicable to each fiscal year shall be increased by an amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the amount of such Capital Expenditures (determined in accordance with GAAP) made by the acquired entity or business for the thirty-six month period immediately preceding the consummation of such Permitted Acquisition, by (B) three (such amount, the “Acquired Permitted Capital Expenditure Amount”); provided that, with respect to the fiscal year during which any such Permitted Acquisition occurs, the amount of Capital Expenditures permitted under the first sentence of this Section 7.12 with respect to such fiscal year shall be increased by an amount equal to the product of (x) the Acquired Permitted Capital Expenditure Amount and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days remaining in such fiscal year and the denominator of which is 365 or 366, if applicable.

As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Notes), no Agent shall be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders (or, if required hereby, all Lenders), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of Notes; provided, however, that no Agent shall be required to take any action that exposes such Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law.

Without limitation on any other provision hereof, neither Agent shall be deemed to have notice or knowledge of an Event of Default unless written notice thereof has been received from the Borrower or any Lender.

9.03 Credit Suisse and Affiliates. With respect to its Commitments, the Loans made by it and the Notes issued to it, if any, Credit Suisse shall have the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent; and the term “Lender” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Credit Suisse in its individual capacity. Credit Suisse and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, accept investment banking engagements from and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Loan Party, any Subsidiaries of any Loan Party and any Person that may do business with or own securities of any Loan Party or any such Subsidiary, all as if Credit Suisse was not an Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. No Agent shall have any duty to disclose any information obtained or received by it or any of its Affiliates relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiaries of any Loan Party to the extent such information was obtained or received in any capacity other than as such Agent.

9.04 Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements referred to in Section 6.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement.

9.05 Indemnification of Agents.

(a) Each Term Lender severally agrees to indemnify each Agent or any Related Party and each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to indemnify each Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Related Party (in each case, to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) from and against such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Related Party in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Related Party under the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s, the L/C Issuer’s or any Related Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse each Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Related Party promptly upon demand for its Applicable Percentage of any costs and expenses (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel)

101

payable by the Borrower under Section 10.04, to the extent that such Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Related Party is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrower. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 9.05 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (a) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(d).

(b) The failure of any Lender to reimburse any Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Related Party, as the case may be, promptly upon demand for its Applicable Percentage of any amount required to be paid by the Lenders to such Agent, the L/C Issuer, or any Related Party, as the case may be, as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse such Agent, the L/C Issuer, or Related Party, as the case may be, for its Applicable Percentage of such amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to reimburse such Agent, the L/C Issuer, or Related Party, as the case may be, for such other Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such amount. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Lender contained in this Section 9.05 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

9.06 Successor Agents. Any Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent (which, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such appointment, shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower). If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent and, in the case of a successor Collateral Agent, upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Collateral Documents, such successor Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. If within 45 days after written notice is given of the retiring Agent’s resignation under this Section 9.06 no successor Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, then on such 45th day (a) the retiring Agent’s resignation shall become effective, (b) the retiring Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and (c) the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring Agent under the Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent shall have become effective, 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 Agent under this Agreement.

9.07 Arranger Has No Liability. It is understood and agreed that the Arranger shall not have any duties, responsibilities or liabilities under this Agreement whatsoever.

9.08 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any

102

demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

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

9.09 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders and the L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent, at their option and in their discretion:

(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable), including all obligations under all Secured Hedge Agreements, and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit, (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) subject to Section 10.01, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders;

In each case as specified in this Section 9.09, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral

103

Documents, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under the applicable Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.09.

9.10 Intercreditor Agreement. Each of the Lenders hereby acknowledges that it has received and reviewed the Intercreditor Agreement and agrees to be bound by the terms thereof. Each Lender (and each Person that becomes a Lender hereunder pursuant to Section 10.06) hereby (i) acknowledges that Credit Suisse is acting under the Intercreditor Agreement in multiple capacities as the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the collateral agent under the Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) waives any conflict of interest, now contemplated or arising hereafter, in connection therewith and agrees not to assert against Credit Suisse any claims, causes of action, damages or liabilities of whatever kind or nature relating thereto.

The Borrower agrees to pay on demand (i) all costs and expenses of each Agent and its Affiliates in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification and amendment of, or any consent or waiver under, the Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) (including, without limitation, (A) all due diligence, collateral review, arrangement, syndication, transportation, computer, duplication, appraisal, audit, insurance, consultant, search, filing and recording fees and expenses and (B) the reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel for each Agent with respect thereto, with respect to advising such Agent as to its rights and responsibilities and ongoing administration of the Loan Documents, or the perfection, protection, interpretation or preservation of rights or interests, under the Loan Documents, with respect to negotiations with any Loan Party or with other creditors of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries and with respect to presenting claims in or otherwise participating in or monitoring any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding involving creditors’ rights generally and any proceeding ancillary thereto), (ii) all costs and expenses incurred by each L/C Issuer in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all costs and expenses of each Agent, each L/C Issuer and each Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, whether in any action, suit or litigation, or any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding affecting creditors’ rights generally and all costs and expenses of each Agent and its Affiliates with respect to any negotiations arising out of any Default (including, without limitation, the fees expenses of outside counsel for each Agent, the L/C Issuer and each Lender with respect thereto); provided that the Borrower shall not be required to reimburse the legal fees and expenses of more than one outside counsel (in addition to special counsel and up to one local counsel in each applicable local jurisdiction) for all Persons indemnified under this Section 10.04(a) (which shall be selected by the Administrative Agent) unless, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, representation of all such indemnified persons would be inappropriate due to the existence of an actual or potential conflict of interest. The Borrower further agrees to pay any stamp or other taxes that may be payable in connection with the execution or delivery of any Loan Document.

(b) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all actual losses (other than lost profit), claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any outside counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of (A) the commitment papers related to financing the Transaction, (B) this Agreement, (C) any other Loan Document or (D) any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and the contemplated use of the proceeds of Credit Extensions hereunder, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by the L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any of the Borrower’s or such Loan Party’s directors, shareholders or creditors, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents is consummated, in all

108

cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative, contributory or sole negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective officers, directors, employees or controlling persons).

(c) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(d) No Liability of the L/C Issuer. As against the L/C Issuer, the Agents and the Lenders, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letter of Credit. Neither the L/C Issuer nor any of its officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for: (i) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (ii) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (iii) payment by the L/C Issuer against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to the Letter of Credit; or (iv) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit, except that the Borrower shall have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer shall be liable to the Borrower, to the extent of any direct, but not consequential, damages suffered by the Borrower that the Borrower proves were caused by (A) the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction or (B) the L/C Issuer’s grossly negligent or willful failure to make lawful payment under a Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a draft and certificates strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary.

(e) If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel and indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Loan Party by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in its sole discretion.

(f) Payments. All amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be payable not later than ten Business Days after demand therefor.

109

10.05 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and the L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

10.06 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of Holdings, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Lenders that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.

(b) Each Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided, however, that (i) such assignment must be consented to by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (which consent, in either case, may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that the consent of the Borrower shall not be required if an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing, (ii) in the case of any assignments of Term Loans, the Borrower shall have been given notice by the Administrative Agent (provided that failure to give such notice shall not invalidate such assignment as between the assignor and the assignee), (iii) in the case of any assignment of a Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Outstanding Amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility, each of the L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender and the Borrower must give its prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the consent of the Borrower shall not be required to any such assignment (A) during the continuance of any Event of Default, (B) by Credit Suisse in its capacity as the initial Lender hereunder in connection with the initial syndication of the Facility (which shall be done in consultation with the Borrower) during the first 90 days after the earlier of (1) the date of the third Term Borrowing (or the first or second Term Borrowing, if the entire amount of the Term Facility is drawn as a part of such Borrowing) and (2) the date on which the Term Commitments are terminated, or (C) to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, (iv) the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000 (or, if less, the entire remaining amount of such Lender’s Commitment) and shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (or the entire remaining amount of such Lender’s Commitment), provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single assignee (or to an assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met, (v) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent

110

(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), (vi) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender immediately prior to the assignment, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire and the applicable tax forms, (vii) the assignee shall not be the Borrower or an Affiliate or Subsidiary of the Borrower. Upon acceptance and recording pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section 10.06, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and (B) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 10.04, as well as to any Fees accrued for its account and not yet paid). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if at any time that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, a Lender proposes to assign all or any portion of its rights hereunder to any Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund and is not a commercial bank, finance company, insurance company, financial institution, or other entity that is or will be engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business (a “Non-Financial Entity”), then such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing that such proposed assignee is a Non-Financial Entity. Prior to granting its approval to such proposed assignment, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower in writing of the identity of such Non-Financial Entity. No assignment shall be made to any Non-Financial Entity that is designated on a good faith basis by the Borrower, within three Business Days after receipt by the Borrower of notification from the Administrative Agent pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, as a direct or indirect competitor of the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall in no event be liable for the failure of a Lender to notify the Administrative Agent that any proposed assignee is a Non-Financial Entity. The Administrative Agent shall in no event be liable for the failure to notify the Borrower of an assignment of a Term Loan pursuant to clause (ii) hereof and failure by the Administrative Agent to provide such notice shall in no way affect the validity or effectiveness of such assignment.

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption, the assigning Lender thereunder and the assignee thereunder shall be deemed to confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) such assigning Lender warrants that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the interest being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim and that its Term Commitment and Revolving Credit Commitment, and the outstanding balances of its Term Loans and Revolving Loans (and L/C Obligations, if any), in each case without giving effect to assignments thereof which have not become effective, are as set forth in such Assignment and Assumption; (ii) except as set forth in (i) above, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement, or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto, or the financial condition of any Loan Party or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee represents and warrants that it is legally authorized to enter into such Assignment and Assumption; (iv) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 5.05 or delivered pursuant to Section 6.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Assumption; (v) such assignee will independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Arranger, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such

111

documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, respectively, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the L/C Issuer and the Collateral Agent, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, an Administrative Questionnaire and applicable tax forms completed in respect of the assignee (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder) and the written consent of the Swing Line Lender, the L/C Issuer, the Borrower (to the extent required) and the Administrative Agent to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall promptly (i) accept such Assignment and Assumption, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give notice thereof to the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender. No assignment shall be effective unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this subsection (e).

(f) Each Lender may without the consent of the Borrower, the Swing Line Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans); provided, however, 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, (iii) the participating banks or other entities shall be entitled to the benefit of the cost protection provisions contained in Sections 3.01 and 3.05 to the same extent as if they were Lenders (but, with respect to any particular participant, to no greater extent than the Lender that sold the participation to such participant) and (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower relating to the Loans or L/C Disbursements and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications or waivers decreasing any fees payable hereunder or the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on the Loans, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on the Loans, increasing or extending the Commitments or releasing any Guarantor or all or any substantial part of the Collateral).

(g) Any Lender or participant may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 10.06, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure of information designated by the Borrower as confidential, each such assignee or participant or proposed

112

assignee or participant shall execute an agreement whereby such assignee or participant shall agree (subject to customary exceptions) to preserve the confidentiality of such confidential information on terms no less restrictive than those applicable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 10.07.

(h) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of or notice to any Person, assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure extensions of credit to such Lender or in support of obligations owed by such Lender; provided that no such assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.06, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the Borrower and Administrative Agent) providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

(j) Neither Holdings nor the Borrower shall assign or delegate any of its rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and each Lender, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

(k) In the event (i) any Lender or L/C Issuer delivers a certificate requesting compensation pursuant to Section 3.01, (ii) any Lender or the L/C Issuer delivers a notice described in Section 3.02, (iii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Governmental Authority on account of any Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 3.04 or (iv) any Lender does not consent to a proposed amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement requested by the Borrower which requires the consent of all of the Lenders or all of the Lenders under any Facility to become effective (and which is approved by at least the Required Lenders), the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (including with respect to the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 10.06(b)), upon notice to such Lender or the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender or the L/C Issuer to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, such acceptance not to be unreasonably

113

withheld or delayed, that shall assume such assigned obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, (y) solely with respect to replacements of Lenders pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 10.06(k), the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and, if a Revolving Credit Commitment is being assigned, of the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, and (z) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the affected Lender or the L/C Issuer in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Loans or L/C Disbursements of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, respectively, plus all Fees and other amounts accrued for the account of such Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder (including any amounts under Section 3.01 and Section 3.04); provided further that, if prior to any such transfer and assignment, the circumstances or event that resulted in such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s claim for compensation under Section 3.01 or notice under Section 3.02 or the amounts paid pursuant to Section 3.04, as the case may be, cease to cause such Lender or the L/C Issuer to suffer increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, or cease to have the consequences specified in Section 3.02, or cease to result in amounts being payable under Section 3.04, as the case may be (including as a result of any action taken by such Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 3.06), or if such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall waive its right to claim further compensation under Section 3.01 in respect of such circumstances or event or shall withdraw its notice under Section 3.02 or shall waive its right to further payments under Section 3.04 in respect of such circumstances or event, as the case may be, then such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall not thereafter be required to make any such transfer and assignment hereunder. In connection with any such replacement, if the replaced Lender does not execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a duly completed Assignment and Assumption reflecting such replacement within five Business Days of the date on which the replacement Lender executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption to the replaced Lender, then such replaced Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption. This Section 10.06(k) shall supersede any provision of Section 2.13 to the contrary.

10.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, trustees and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it; (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process (in which case such Person agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law or such compulsory legal process, to use commercially reasonable efforts to inform the Borrower thereof prior to such disclosure); (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of rights hereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.07, to (i) any permitted assignee of or participant in, or any prospective permitted assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any direct or indirect contractual counterparty or prospective counterparty (or such contractual counterparty’s or prospective counterparty’s professional advisor) to any credit derivative transaction relating to obligations of the Loan Parties; (g) with the consent of the Borrower; (h) to the extent such Information (i) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.07 or (ii) is or becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower; (i) to any state, Federal or foreign authority or examiner (including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization) regulating any Lender; or (j) (i) an investor or prospective investor in

114

securities issued by an Approved Fund of any Lender that also agrees that Information shall be used solely for the purpose of evaluating an investment in such securities issued by an Approved Fund of any Lender, (ii) to a trustee, collateral manager, servicer, backup servicer, noteholder or secured party in securities issued by an Approved Fund of any Lender in connection with the administration, servicing and reporting on the assets serving as collateral for securities issued by such Approved Fund, or (iii) to a nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information regarding the Loan Parties, the Loans and the Loan Documents in connection with ratings issued in respect of securities issued by an Approved Fund of any Lender (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such parties shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to the Loan Parties, the Loans and the Loan Documents received by it from such Lender). In addition, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and nonconfidential information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments, and the Credit Extensions. For the purposes of this Section 10.07, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party relating to any Loan Party or its business, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 10.07 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. The Borrower shall have the right to approve any public advertisement or other public notice issued or placed by the Agents with respect to the Loan Documents and the transactions thereunder, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any party to this Agreement (and any employee, representative or other agent of such party) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to it relating to such tax treatment and tax structure, except that (a) tax treatment and tax structure shall not include the identity of any existing or future party (or any affiliate of such party) to this Agreement, and (b) 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. For this 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 transactions is any fact that may be relevant to understanding the purported or claimed U.S. federal income tax treatment of such transactions. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Borrower shall have given notice to the Administrative Agent (whether before or after the Closing Date) that any Person is unacceptable to the Borrower as a Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be permitted to disclose the identity of any such Person so designated by the Borrower to any Person.

10.08 Right of Setoff. Upon (a) the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), (b) an exercise or remedies under Section 8.02(b) or (c) amounts becoming due and payable pursuant to the proviso to Section 8.02, each Lender, the L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held (other than deposits in accounts that have been specifically designated to such Lender as payroll accounts or trust accounts and that meet the requirements for payroll accounts or trust accounts, as the case may be, set forth in Section 6.17(b)) and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or the

115

L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or the L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender, the L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section 10.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

10.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

10.10 Release of Collateral. Upon the sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any item of Collateral of any Loan Party (including, without limitation, as a result of the sale, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, of a Subsidiary Guarantor that owns such Collateral but excluding Dispositions among Loan Parties) in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, the security interest created in such item of Collateral under the Collateral Documents shall be automatically released and the Collateral Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to such Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and, if applicable, the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty. Upon the payment in full of all Obligations (including all obligations under any Secured Hedge Agreements and, in the case of any outstanding Letters of Credit, payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer of amounts sufficient to fully Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amounts thereof, but excluding for this purpose any Unaccrued Indemnity Claims) after the later of the Maturity Date for the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Facility and the termination of all of the Commitments, the Agents shall take such action as may be reasonably required by the Borrower, at the expense of the Borrower, to release the Liens created by the Loan Documents.

10.11 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with the last two sentences of paragraph 9, the fourth through ninth sentences of paragraph 11, and each of paragraphs 5, 6, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 17, in each case, of the letter agreement dated December 11, 2006 between the Sponsor and Credit Suisse (as may be amended from time to time, the “Commitment Letter”), constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. The Borrower agrees that it will execute and deliver such amendments to the Loan Documents as shall be necessary to give effect to the provisions of the Fee Letter and such surviving paragraphs of the Commitment Letter. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this

116

Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or PDF (or similar file) by electronic mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

10.12 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by each Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by any Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

10.13 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.14 USA PATRIOT Act Notice. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

117

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE AGENTS, ANY LENDER OR THE L/C ISSUER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.
