NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree to amend and restate the Existing Loan Agreement in its entirety as follows:

Except for borrowings, conversions and repayments that exhaust the full remaining amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments (in the case of borrowings) or result in the conversion or repayment of all Loans of a particular Type (in the case of conversions or repayments) or conversions made pursuant to Section 2.17, subsection 2.18(b) or Section 2.20 hereof, each borrowing of a Revolving Credit Loan from each Bank, each conversion of Loans of one Type into Loans of another Type and each repayment of principal of Loans hereunder shall be in a minimum amount of One Million ($1,000,000) Dollars, in the case of Base Rate Loans, and Three Million ($3,000,000) Dollars, in the case of LIBOR Loans, and in either case if in excess thereof, in integral multiples of One Hundred Thousand ($100,000) Dollars (borrowings, conversions and repayments of different Types of Loans at the same time hereunder to be deemed separate borrowings, conversions and repayments for purposes of the foregoing, one for each Type). The Agent and the Borrowers may make immaterial mutually convenient adjustments to the thresholds and multiples set forth above in respect of LIBOR Loans.

Section 2.11 Time and Method of Payments.

All payments of principal, interest, Fees and other amounts (including indemnities) payable by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, to the Agent at the Principal Office not later than 11:00 a.m., Cleveland, Ohio time, on the date on which such payment shall become due (and the Agent or any Bank for whose account any such payment is to be made may, but shall not be obligated to, debit the amount of any such payment that is not made by such time to any ordinary deposit account of the Borrowers, or any of them, with the Agent or such Bank, as the case may be). Additional provisions relating to payments are set forth in Section 10.3 hereof. Each payment received by the Agent hereunder for the account of a Bank shall be paid promptly to such Bank, in like funds,

for the account of such Bank’s Lending Office for the Loan in respect of which such payment is made.

Section 2.12 Lending Offices.

The Loans of each Type made by each Bank shall be made and maintained at such Bank’s applicable Lending Office for Loans of such Type.

Section 2.13 Several Obligations.

The failure of any Bank to make any Loan to be made by it on the date specified therefor shall not relieve the other Banks of their respective obligations to make their Loans on such date, but no Bank shall be responsible for the failure of the other Banks to make Loans to be made by such other Banks.

Section 2.14 Pro Rata Treatment Among Banks.

Except as otherwise provided herein: (a) each borrowing from the Banks under Section 2.1 hereof will be made from the Banks and each payment of each Fee (other than the Agency Fee, the Arrangement Fee and the Origination Fee) shall be made for the account of the Banks pro rata according to the amount of their respective Revolving Percentage; (b) each partial reduction of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall be applied to the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Banks pro rata according to each Bank’s respective Revolving Percentage; (c) each payment and repayment of principal of or interest on Revolving Credit Loans will be made to the Agent for the account of the Banks pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans held by such Banks; and (d) each conversion of Revolving Credit Loans of a particular Type under Section 2.17 hereof (other than conversions provided for by Section 2.20 or 2.21 hereof) shall be made pro rata among the Banks holding Revolving Credit Loans of such Type according to the respective principal amounts of such Revolving Credit Loans held by such Banks.

Section 2.15 Non-Receipt of Funds by the Agent.

Unless the Agent shall have been notified by a Bank or the Borrowers (the “Payor”) prior to the date on which such Bank is to make payment to the Agent of the proceeds of a Loan to be made by it hereunder or the Borrowers are to make a payment to the Agent for the account of one or more of the Banks, as the case may be (such payment being herein called the “Required Payment”), which notice shall be effective upon receipt, that the Payor does not intend to make the Required Payment to the Agent, the Agent may assume that the Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to), make the amount thereof available to the intended recipient on such date and, if the Payor has not in fact made the Required Payment to the Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand, repay to the Agent the amount made available to it together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Agent until the date the Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal (i) when the recipient is a Bank, the Federal Funds Rate for such day, or (ii) the rate of interest applicable to such Loan (when the recipient is the Borrowers).

Section 2.16 Sharing of Payments and Set-Off Among Banks.

The Borrowers hereby agree that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim a Bank may otherwise have, each Bank shall be entitled, at its option, to offset balances held by it at any of its offices against any principal of or interest on any of its Loans hereunder or any Fee payable to it, that is not paid when due (regardless of whether such balances are then due to the Borrowers), in which case it shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Agent thereof, provided that its failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof. If a Bank shall effect payment of any principal of or interest or Fee on Loans held by it under this Agreement through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar right, it shall promptly purchase from the other Banks participations in the Loans held by the other Banks in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Banks shall share the benefit of such payment pro rata in accordance with the unpaid amount of principal and interest or Fee on the Loans held by each of them. To such end all the Banks shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. The Borrowers agree that any Bank so purchasing a participation in the Loans held by the other Banks may exercise all rights of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Bank were a direct holder of Loans in the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any Bank to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Bank to exercise and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrowers.

Section 2.17 Conversion of Loans.

The Borrowers shall have the right to convert Loans of one Type into Loans of another Type from time to time, provided that: (i) the Borrowers shall give the Agent notice of each such conversion as provided in Section 2.2 hereof; (ii) LIBOR Loans may be converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Loans; and (iii) no Base Rate Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Loan or LIBOR Loan continued as or converted into another LIBOR Loan if on the proposed date of conversion a Default or an Event of Default exists. The Agent shall use its best efforts to notify the Borrowers of the effectiveness of such conversion, and the new interest rate to which the converted Loans are subject, as soon as practicable after the conversion; provided, however, that any failure to give such notice shall not affect the Borrowers’ obligations, or the Agent’s or the Banks’ rights and remedies, hereunder in any way whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Swing Line Loans shall be based solely on the respective Swing Line Bank’s cost of funds as set forth in subsection 2.6(a)(ii) hereof and shall not be made or converted to LIBOR Loans or Base Rate Loans.

Section 2.18 Additional Costs; Capital Requirements.

(a) In the event that any existing or future law or regulation, guideline or interpretation thereof, by any court or administrative or governmental authority (foreign or domestic) charged with the administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority shall impose, modify or deem applicable or result in the application of, any capital maintenance, capital ratio or similar

requirement against loan commitments made by any Bank hereunder, and the result of any event referred to above is to impose upon any Bank or increase any capital requirement applicable as a result of the making or maintenance of such Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment or the obligation of the Borrowers hereunder with respect to such Revolving Credit Commitment (which imposition of capital requirements may be determined by each Bank’s reasonable allocation of the aggregate of such capital increases or impositions), then, within ten (10) Business Days’ of demand made by such Bank as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge that such law, regulation, guideline, interpretation, request or directive exists and determines to make such demand, the Borrowers shall pay to such Bank from time to time as specified by such Bank additional amounts which shall be sufficient to compensate such Bank for such imposition of or increase in capital requirements together with interest on each such amount from the date demanded until payment in full thereof at the Post-Default Rate. A certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the amount necessary to compensate such Bank as a result of an imposition of or increase in capital requirements submitted by such Bank to the Borrowers shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, as to the amount thereof. All references to any “Bank” shall be deemed to include any participant in such Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment.

(b) In the event that any Regulatory Change shall: (i) change the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to any Bank under this Agreement or the Notes in respect of any Loans including, without limitation, LIBOR Loans (other than taxes imposed on the overall net income of such Bank for any such Loans by the United States of America or the jurisdiction in which such Bank has its principal office); or (ii) impose or modify any reserve, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation premium or assessment, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Bank (including any of such Loans or any deposits referred to in the definition of “LIBOR Base Rate” in Article 1 hereof); or (iii) impose any other conditions affecting this Agreement in respect of Loans, including, without limitation, LIBOR Loans (or any of such extensions of credit, assets, deposits or liabilities); and the result of any event referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above shall be to increase such Bank’s costs of making or maintaining any Loans including, without limitation, LIBOR Loans, or its Revolving Credit Commitment, or to reduce any amount receivable by such Bank hereunder in respect of its Commitment (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable are hereinafter referred to as “Additional Costs”) in each case, only to the extent, with respect to LIBOR Loans, that such Additional Costs are not included in the LIBOR Base Rate applicable to LIBOR Loans, then, within ten (10) Business Days’ of demand made by such Bank as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge that such a Regulatory Change exists and determines to make such demand (a copy of which demand shall be delivered to the Agent), the Borrowers shall pay to such Bank from time to time as specified by such Bank, additional amounts which shall be sufficient to compensate such Bank for such increased cost or reduction in amounts receivable by such Bank from the date of such change, together with interest on each such amount from the date demanded until payment in full thereof at the Post-Default Rate. All references to any “Bank” shall be deemed to include any participant in such Bank’s Revolving Credit Commitment.

(c) Without limiting the effect of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.18, in the event that, by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Bank either: (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a

category of deposits or other liabilities of such Bank which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Bank which includes LIBOR Loans, or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it may hold, then, if such Bank so elects by notice to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Agent), the obligation of such Bank to make, and to convert Loans of any other Type into, Loans of such Type hereunder shall be suspended until the date such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (and all Loans of such Type then outstanding shall be converted into Base Rate Loans or into LIBOR Loans of another duration as the case may be, in accordance with Sections 2.17 and 2.21).

(d) Determinations by any Bank for purposes of this Section 2.18 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of making or maintaining Loans or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Loans, and of the additional amounts required to compensate such Bank in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be set forth in writing in reasonable detail describing the Additional Costs together with a calculation demonstrating the allocation to the Borrowers of such Additional Costs which shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

Section 2.19 Limitation on Types of Loans.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of an interest rate for any LIBOR Loans for any Interest Period therefor, the Required Banks determine (which determination shall be conclusive):

(a) by reason of any event affecting the money markets in the United States of America or the London interbank market, quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining the rate of interest for such Loans under this Agreement; or

(b) the rates of interest referred to in the definition of “LIBOR Base Rate” in Article 1 hereof upon the basis of which the rate of interest on any LIBOR Loans for such period is determined, do not accurately reflect the cost to the Banks of making or maintaining such Loans for such period;

then the Agent shall give the Borrowers and each Bank prompt notice thereof (and shall thereafter give the Borrowers and each Bank prompt notice of the cessation, if any, of such condition), and so long as such condition remains in effect, the Banks shall be under no obligation to make Loans of such Type or to convert Loans of any other Type into Loans of such Type and the Borrowers shall, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding Loans of the affected Type either repay such Loans in accordance with Section 2.5 hereof or convert such Loan into Loans of another Type in accordance with Section 2.17 hereof.

Section 2.20 Illegality.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Bank or its applicable Lending Office to: (a) honor its obligation to make LIBOR Loans hereunder, or (b) maintain LIBOR Loans hereunder, then such Bank shall promptly notify the Borrowers thereof (with a copy to the Agent), describing such illegality in

reasonable detail (and shall thereafter promptly notify the Borrowers and the Agent of the cessation, if any, of such illegality), and such Bank’s obligation to make LIBOR Loans and to convert Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans hereunder shall, upon written notice given by such Bank to the Borrowers, be suspended until such time as such Bank may again make and maintain LIBOR Loans and such Bank’s outstanding LIBOR Loans shall be converted into Base Rate Loans, in accordance with Sections 2.17 and 2.21 hereof.

Section 2.21 Certain Conversions pursuant to Sections 2.18 and 2.20.

If the Loans of any Bank of a particular Type (Loans of such Type are hereinafter referred to as “Affected Loans” and such Type is hereinafter referred to as the “Affected Type”) are to be converted pursuant to Section 2.18 or 2.20 hereof, such Bank’s Affected Loans shall be converted into Base Rate Loans, or LIBOR Loans of another Type, as the case may be (the “New Type Loans”), on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the Affected Loans (or, in the case of a conversion required by subsection 2.18(b) or Section 2.20 hereof, on such earlier date as such Bank may specify to the Borrowers with a copy to the Agent) and, until such Bank gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 2.18 or 2.20 hereof which gave rise to such conversion no longer exist:

(a) to the extent that such Bank’s Affected Loans have been so converted, all repayments of principal which would otherwise be applied to such Affected Loans shall be applied instead to its New Type Loans;

(b) all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Bank as Loans of the Affected Type shall be made instead as New Type Loans and all Loans of such Bank which would otherwise be converted into Loans of the Affected Type shall be converted instead into (or shall remain as) New Type Loans.

Section 2.22 Indemnification.

The Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Bank, upon the request of such Bank through the Agent, such amount or amounts as shall compensate such Bank for any loss (including loss of profit), cost or expense incurred by such Bank (as reasonably determined by such Bank) as a result of:

(a) any payment or repayment or conversion of a LIBOR Loan held by such Bank on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan except pursuant to Sections 2.18 or 2.20 hereof; or

(b) any failure by the Borrowers to borrow a LIBOR Loan held by such Bank on the date for such borrowing specified in the relevant Borrowing Notice under Section 2.2 hereof,

such compensation to include, without limitation, an amount equal to: (i) any loss or expense suffered by such Bank during the period from the date of receipt of such early payment or repayment or the date of such conversion to the last day of such Interest Period if the rate of interest obtainable by such Bank upon the redeployment of an amount of funds equal to such Bank’s pro rata share of such payment, repayment or conversion or failure to borrow or convert

is less than the rate of interest applicable to such LIBOR Loan for such Interest Period, or (ii) any loss or expense suffered by such Bank in liquidating LIBOR deposits prior to maturity which correspond to such Bank’s pro rata share of such payment, repayment, conversion, failure to borrow or failure to convert. The determination by each such Bank of the amount of any such loss or expense, when set forth in a written notice to the Borrowers, containing such Bank’s calculation thereof in reasonable detail, shall be presumed correct, in the absence of manifest error.

Section 2.23 Swing Line Loans.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Swing Line Bank agrees to make swing line loans (each a “Swing Line Loan” and, collectively, the “Swing Line Loans”) to the Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date of this Agreement to the sixth Business Day preceding the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date, provided that immediately after making each Swing Line Loan, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Swing Line Loans will not exceed the Swing Line Commitment, and the Total Revolving Exposure will not exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment.

(b) To request a Swing Line Loan, the Borrowers shall notify the Agent and the Swing Line Banks by the delivery of a Borrowing Notice, which shall be sent by facsimile and shall be irrevocable (confirmed promptly by hand delivery to the Agent of a written Borrowing Notice in a form approved by the Agent signed by the Borrowers), no later than: 11:00 a.m. (Cleveland, Ohio time), on the requested borrowing date, specifying (i) the aggregate principal amount to be borrowed and (ii) the requested borrowing date. The Swing Line Banks will, subject to its determination that the terms and conditions of this Agreement have been satisfied, make the requested amount available promptly on that same day, to the Agent (for the account of the Borrowers) who, thereupon, will promptly make such amount available to the Borrowers by crediting the account of the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.3. Each borrowing of a Swing Line Loan shall be in a minimum amount of One Million ($1,000,000) Dollars and if in excess thereof, in integral multiples of One Million ($1,000,000) Dollars, or, if less, the unused portion of the Swing Line Commitment.

(c) Neither Swing Line Bank shall be obligated to make any Swing Line Loan at a time when any Bank shall be in default of its obligations under this Agreement unless arrangements to eliminate such Swing Line Bank’s risk with respect to such defaulting Bank’s participation in such Swing Line Loan shall have been made for the benefit of such Swing Line Bank and such arrangements are satisfactory to such Swing Line Bank and the Agent. Neither Swing Line Bank will make a Swing Line Loan if the Agent, or any Bank by notice to the Swing Line Banks and the Borrowers no later than one Business Day prior to the borrowing date with respect to such Swing Line Loan, shall have determined that the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 have not been satisfied and such conditions remain unsatisfied as of the requested time of the making of such Swing Line Loan. Each Swing Line Loan shall be due and payable on the earliest to occur of (i) the fourteenth day after the borrowing date thereof, (ii) the fifth Business Day prior to the Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date, (iii) the date on which the Swing Line Commitment shall have been terminated by the Borrowers or the Swing Line Banks in accordance with Section 2.5(b), or (iv) the date on which the Swing Line Loans

shall become due and payable pursuant to the provisions hereof, whether by acceleration or otherwise. No more than five (5) Swing Line Loans shall be outstanding at the same time.

(d) Upon each receipt by a Bank of notice of an Event of Default from the Agent pursuant to Article 9, such Bank shall purchase unconditionally, irrevocably, and severally from the Swing Line Banks a participation in the outstanding Swing Line Loans (including accrued interest thereon) in an amount equal to the product of its Revolving Percentage and the outstanding amount of the Swing Line Loans (the “Swing Line Participation Amount”). Each Bank shall also be liable for an amount equal to the product of its Revolving Percentage and any amounts paid by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.23(d) that are subsequently rescinded or avoided, or must otherwise be restored or returned. Such liabilities shall be unconditional and without regard to the occurrence of any Default or the compliance by the Borrowers with any of their obligations under the Loan Documents. In furtherance of this Section 2.23(d), upon each receipt by a Bank of notice of an Event of Default from the Agent, such Bank shall promptly make available to the Agent for the account of the Swing Line Banks, as applicable, its Swing Line Participation Amount, in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds. The Agent shall deliver the payments made by each Bank pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence to the Swing Line Banks, as applicable, promptly upon receipt thereof in like funds as received. If a Bank does not make its Swing Line Participation Amount so available, such Bank shall be required to pay interest to the Agent for the account of the Swing Line Banks, as applicable, from the date such amount was due until paid in full, on the unpaid portion thereof, at the rate set forth in Section 2.15, payable upon demand by the Swing Line Banks, as applicable. The Agent shall distribute such interest payments to the Swing Line Banks, as applicable, upon receipt thereof in like funds as received. Whenever the Agent is reimbursed by the Borrowers, for the account of the Swing Line Banks, as applicable, for any payment in connection with Swing Line Loans and such payment relates to an amount previously paid by a Bank pursuant to this Section 2.23, the Agent will promptly pay over such payment to such Bank.

Section 2.24 Extension of Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date.

Subject to the following provisions, the Borrowers shall have the option to extend the initial Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date to August 6, 2012. By written notice to the Agent delivered no later than six (6) months prior to the initial Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date, so long as no Event of Default has occurred since the date of this Agreement, the Borrowers may request such extension to the initial Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date (which request shall be accompanied by a Compliance Certificate). Promptly upon receipt of such written notice, the Agent shall deliver a copy to each Bank and the initial Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date shall be deemed so extended. In the event that the Borrowers shall have delivered an extension notice under this Section 2.24, the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Banks on the initial Revolving Credit Commitment Termination Date, a non-refundable extension fee in an amount equal to fifteen (15) basis points multiplied by the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, as then in effect.

Section 2.25 Increase in Total Revolving Credit Commitment.

(a) The Borrowers may at their sole expense and effort and after consulting with the Agent, request: (i) one or more Banks acceptable to the Agent to increase (in the sole and absolute discretion of each such Bank) the amount of their respective Revolving Credit Commitments, and/or (ii) one or more other lending institutions acceptable to the Agent (each, a “New Lender”) to become “Banks” and extend Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder (each such existing Bank and each New Lender being referred to as a “Proposed Lender”). To request an increase pursuant to this Section 2.25 (the “Commitment Increase”), the Borrowers shall submit to the Agent a written increase request signed by the Borrowers and in form approved by the Agent (the “Increase Request”), which shall specify, as the case may be: (A) each such existing Bank and the amount of the proposed increase to its Revolving Credit Commitment, or (B) the proposed Revolving Credit Commitment for each New Lender. Promptly following receipt of the Increase Request, the Agent shall advise each Proposed Lender of the details thereof.

(b) If one or more Proposed Lender(s) shall have unconditionally agreed to such Increase Request in a writing delivered to the Borrowers and the Agent at any time prior to the 30th day following the date of the delivery to such Proposed Lenders(s) of the Increase Request (each such Proposed Lender being hereinafter referred to as an “Incremental Lender”), then: (x) each such Incremental Lender which shall then be an existing Bank shall have its Revolving Credit Commitment increased by the amount set forth in the Increase Request, and (y) each such Incremental Lender which shall then be a New Lender shall be and become a “Bank” hereunder having a Revolving Credit Commitment equal to the amount set forth in such Increase Request, provided, however, that (1) immediately before and after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default shall or would exist, (2) each such Incremental Lender shall have executed and delivered to the Agent a supplement to this Agreement providing for its increased Revolving Credit Commitment or its Revolving Credit Commitment, as applicable, in form approved by the Agent, (3) immediately after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall not exceed $1,250,000,000 less the amount of any permanent reductions under subsection 2.5(b) hereof, (4) the increase of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment specified in the Increase Request shall be not less than $25,000,000 or an integral multiple thereof, (5) the minimum Revolving Credit Commitment extended by each Incremental Lender which is a New Lender shall be in a minimum amount of $15,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and (6) the minimum increase to the Revolving Credit Commitment extended by each Incremental Lender which is an existing Bank shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

(c) Simultaneously with the Commitment Increase under this Section 2.25, each Incremental Lender shall, to the extent necessary, purchase from each other existing Bank, and each other existing Bank shall sell to each Incremental Lender, in each case at par and without representation, warranty, or recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.13), such principal amount of Loans of such other existing Bank(s), together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, as will result, after giving effect to such transaction, in each Bank’s pro rata share of Loans outstanding being equal to such Lender’s pro rata share of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, provided that each such assignor Bank

shall have received (to the extent of the interests, rights and obligations assigned) payment then due and owing of the outstanding principal amount of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees, commissions and all other amounts payable to it under the Loan Documents from the applicable assignee Banks (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest, fees and commissions) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts).

Each Bank hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent to act as its agent hereunder and the other Loan Documents with such powers as are specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall not be a trustee for any Bank. The Agent shall not be responsible to the Banks for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or for the collectibility of the Loans or for any failure by any Borrower to perform any of its obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be answerable, except as to money or securities received by it or its authorized agents, for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable or responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or the other Loan Documents or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 9.2 Reliance by Agent.

The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by telephone, telex, telegram or cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper person or persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or the other Loan Documents in accordance with instructions signed by the Required Banks, and such instructions of the Required Banks and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Banks.

Section 9.3 Events of Default.

The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the occurrence of a Default (other than the non-payment of principal of or interest on Loans) unless the Agent has received notice from a Bank or the Borrower specifying such Default and stating that such notice is a

“Notice of Default”. In the event that the Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default, the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Banks (and shall give each Bank notice of each such non-payment). The Agent shall (subject to Section 9.7 hereof) take such action with respect to such Default as shall be directed in writing by the Required Banks (or all of the Banks, if required by the terms of this Agreement).

Section 9.4 Rights as a Bank.

With respect to its Revolving Credit Commitment and the Loans made by it, the Agent in its capacity as a Bank hereunder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as the Agent, and the term “Bank” or “Banks” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual capacity. The Agent and its Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Bank) accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with each Borrower or its Affiliates, as if it were not acting as the Agent, and the Agent may accept fees and other consideration from each Borrower or its Affiliates, for services in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Banks.

Section 9.5 Indemnification.

The Banks shall indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by each Borrower under Sections 10.1 and 10.2 hereof), ratably in accordance with the aggregate principal amount of the Loans made by the Banks (or, if no Loans are at the time outstanding, ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments), for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses that each Borrower is obligated to pay under Sections 10.1 and 10.2 hereof, but excluding normal administrative costs and expenses incident to the performance of its agency duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Bank shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified.

Section 9.6 Non-Reliance on Agent and other Banks.

Each Bank agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of each Borrower and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by each Borrower of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other

document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the properties or books of each Borrower. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Banks by the Agent hereunder or the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Bank with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of each Borrower, that may come into the possession of the Agent or any of its Affiliates.

Section 9.7 Failure to Act.

Except for action expressly required of the Agent hereunder, the Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or thereunder unless it shall be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Banks against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

Section 9.8 Resignation or Removal of Agent.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, the Agent may resign at any time by giving not less than 10 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Banks and each Borrower and the Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Banks. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Banks’ removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, after consultation with the Borrowers, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank with a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article 9 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Agent.

Section 9.9 Sharing of Payments.

(a) Prior to any acceleration by the Agent and the Banks of the Obligations:

(i) in the event that any Bank shall obtain payment in respect of a Note, or interest thereon, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, and whether through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, set-off or counterclaim against each Borrower or otherwise, in a greater proportion than any such payment obtained by any other Bank in respect of the corresponding Note held by it, then the Bank so receiving such greater proportionate payment shall purchase for cash from the other Bank or Banks such portion of each such other Bank’s or Banks’ Loan as shall be necessary to cause such Bank receiving the proportionate overpayment to share the excess payment with each Bank; and

(ii) in the event that any Bank shall obtain payment in respect of any Interest Rate Contract to which such Bank is a party, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, and whether through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, set-off or counterclaim against each Borrower or otherwise, such Bank shall be permitted to retain the full amount of such payment and shall not be required to share such payment with any other Bank.

(b) Upon or following any acceleration by the Agent and the Banks of the Obligations, in the event that any Bank shall obtain payment in respect of a Note, or interest or Fees thereon, or in respect of an Interest Rate Contract to which such Bank is a party, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, and whether through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, set-off or counterclaim against each Borrower or otherwise, in a greater proportion than any such payment obtained by any other Bank in respect of the aggregate amount of the corresponding Note held by such Bank and any Interest Rate Contract to which such Bank is a party, then the Bank so receiving such greater proportionate payment shall purchase for cash from the other Bank or Banks such portion of each such other Bank’s or Banks’ Loan as shall be necessary to cause such Bank receiving the proportionate overpayment to share the excess payment with each Bank. For the purposes of this subsection 9.9(b), payments on Notes received by each Bank shall be in the same proportion as the proportion of: (A) the sum of: (x) the Obligations owing to such Bank in respect of the Note held by such Bank, plus (y) the Obligations owing to such Bank in respect of Interest Rate Contracts to which such Bank is party, if any, to (B) the sum of: (x) the Obligations owing to all of the Banks in respect of all of the Notes, plus (y) the Obligations owing to all of the Banks in respect of all Interest Rate Contracts to which any Bank is a party; provided, however, that, with respect to subsections 9.9(a)(i) and (b) above, if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from the Bank that received the proportionate overpayment, such purchase of Loans or payment of benefits, as the case may be, shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

Section 10.10 Counterparts.

This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

Section 10.11 Severability.

The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if any clause or provision hereof shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only such clause or provision, or part thereof, in such jurisdiction and shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction, or any other clause or provision in this Agreement in any jurisdiction. Each of the covenants, agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement is independent and compliance by the Borrower with any of them shall not excuse non-compliance by the Borrower with any other. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

Section 10.12 Binding Effect; No Assignment or Delegation by Borrowers.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each of the Borrowers and their respective successors and to the benefit of the Banks and the Agent and their respective successors and assigns. The rights and obligations of each Borrower under this Agreement shall not be assigned or delegated without the prior written consent of the Agent and the Required Banks, and any purported assignment or delegation without such consent shall be void.

Section 10.13 Assignments and Participations by Banks.

(a) Each Bank may assign to one or more banks or other entities all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment, the Loans owing to it, and the Note held by it); provided, however, that: (i) the Borrowers and the Agent must give prior written consent to such assignment (unless such assignment is to an Affiliate of such Bank or to another Bank), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, (ii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, and a processing fee of $3,500.00, (iii) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all of the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (iv) the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of the assigning Bank being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $5,000,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $1,000,000, and (v) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee. Upon such execution, delivery and acceptance, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be at least five (5) Business Days after the execution thereof: (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Bank hereunder, and (y) the Bank assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clause (a)(i) above, no consent of the Borrowers shall be required for an assignment if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Bank assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Bank 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 or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assigning Bank makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of each Borrower or the performance or observance by each Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other

instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of such financial statements 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 Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, such assigning Bank or any other Bank 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; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Agent 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 of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Bank.

(c) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Bank and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, together with any Note subject to such assignment, the Agent shall: (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, and (ii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrowers. Within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrowers, at their own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Agent in exchange for the surrendered Note a new Note to the order of such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Bank has retained a Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder, a new Note to the order of the assigning Bank in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment retained by it hereunder. Such new Note shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto.

(d) Each Bank may, without the prior consent of the Agent, the other Banks or the Borrowers, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment, the Loans owing to it, and the Note held by it); provided, however, that: (i) such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Bank shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, and the Borrowers, the Agent and the other Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

(e) Any Bank may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 10.13, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to any Borrower furnished to such Bank by or on behalf of such Borrower; provided that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to such Borrower received by it from such Bank.

(f) Anything in this Section 10.13 to the contrary notwithstanding, any Bank may assign and pledge all or any portion of its Loans and its Note to any Federal Reserve Bank (and its transferees) as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall release the assigning Bank from its obligations hereunder.

Section 10.14 Delivery of Tax Forms.

Each Bank that is not organized under the laws of the United States or a state thereof shall:

(a) deliver to the Borrowers and the Agent, on or prior to the date of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the date on which it becomes a Bank hereunder, two accurate and duly completed executed copies of United States IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, as appropriate, or successor applicable form, as the case may be;

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

(c) obtain such extensions of time for filing and completing such forms or certifications as may reasonably be requested by the Borrowers or the Agent; unless in any such case under clause (b) above an event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Bank from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Bank so advises the Borrower and the Agent. Such Bank shall certify with respect to Form W-8BEN or W8ECI, as appropriate that (i) it is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States Federal income taxes; (ii) to the extent legally entitled to do so, that it is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without, or at a reduced rate of, deduction or withholding of any United States Federal income taxes; or (iii) that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. Each Person not organized under the laws of the United States or a state thereof that is an assignee hereunder shall, prior to the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all of the forms and statements required pursuant to this Section 10.14.

Section 10.15 GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY.

(a) THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ALL OTHER DOCUMENTS AND INSTRUMENTS EXECUTED AND DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH AND THEREWITH, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS RULES PERTAINING TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS.

(b) EACH BORROWER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS THAT ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST IT UNDER, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY MANNER RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, COUNTY OF NEW YORK, OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK.

EACH BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM OR DEFENSE IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED ON ANY ALLEGED LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS OR ANY SIMILAR BASIS. EACH BORROWER SHALL NOT BE ENTITLED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ASSERT ANY DEFENSE GIVEN OR ALLOWED UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK UNLESS SUCH DEFENSE IS ALSO GIVEN OR ALLOWED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 10.15 SHALL AFFECT OR IMPAIR IN ANY MANNER OR TO ANY EXTENT THE RIGHT OF THE AGENT OR ANY BANK TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST ANY BORROWER IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION OR THE RIGHT, IN CONNECTION WITH ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER, TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.

(c) EACH BORROWER, THE BANKS AND THE AGENT WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION IN ANY COURT WITH RESPECT TO, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR ARISING OUT OF, THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY INSTRUMENT OR DOCUMENT DELIVERED PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION, COLLECTION OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.
