(b) Borrowing Mechanics for Swing Line Loans.

(i) Swing Line Loans shall be made in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount.

(ii) Whenever Borrower desires that Swing Line Lender make a Swing Line Loan, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent (with a copy to Collateral Agent) a Funding Notice no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the proposed Credit Date. Unless Swing Line Lender has received notice from the Administrative Agent to the contrary, Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to rely on any certification from Borrower contained in any Funding Notice to the effect that the conditions precedent to the issuance of any requested Swing Line Loan have been satisfied in full.

(iii) Unless Swing Line Lender has received notice from the Administrative Agent that the conditions precedent to the issuance of any requested Swing Line Loan have not been satisfied in full, then the Swing Line Lender shall make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m.(New York City time) on the applicable Credit Date by wire transfer of same day funds in Dollars, at Administrative Agent’s Principal Office. Except as provided herein, upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified herein, Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such Swing Line Loans available to Borrower on the applicable Credit Date by causing an amount of same day funds in Dollars equal to the proceeds of all such Swing Line Loans received by Administrative Agent from Swing Line Lender to be credited to the account of Borrower at Administrative Agent’s Principal Office, or to such other account as may be designated in writing to Administrative Agent (with a copy to Collateral Agent) by Borrower.

(iv) With respect to any Swing Line Loans which have not been voluntarily prepaid by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.14, Swing Line Lender may at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, deliver to Administrative Agent (with a copy to Borrower and Collateral Agent), no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed Credit Date, a notice (which shall be deemed to be a Funding Notice given by Borrower, but Borrower shall not be deemed to have made any representations and warranties in connection with such deemed Funding Notice) requesting that each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans to Borrower on such Credit Date in an amount equal to the amount of such Swing Line Loans (the “Refunded Swing Line Loans”) outstanding on the date such notice is given which Swing Line Lender requests Lenders to prepay. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (1) the proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by the Lenders other than Swing Line Lender shall be immediately delivered by

Administrative Agent to Swing Line Lender (and not to Borrower) and applied to repay a corresponding portion of the Refunded Swing Line Loans and (2) on the day such Revolving Loans are made, Swing Line Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Refunded Swing Line Loans shall be deemed to be paid with the proceeds of a Revolving Loan made by Swing Line Lender to Borrower, and such portion of the Swing Line Loans deemed to be so paid shall no longer be outstanding as Swing Line Loans and shall no longer be due under the Swing Line Note of Swing Line Lender but shall instead constitute part of Swing Line Lender’s outstanding Revolving Loans to Borrower and shall be due under the Revolving Loan Note issued by Borrower to Swing Line Lender. Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender to charge Borrower’s accounts with Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender (up to the amount available in each such account) in order to immediately pay Swing Line Lender the amount of the Refunded Swing Line Loans to the extent the proceeds of such Revolving Loans made by Lenders, including the Revolving Loans deemed to be made by Swing Line Lender, are not sufficient to repay in full the Refunded Swing Line Loans. If any portion of any such amount paid (or deemed to be paid) to Swing Line Lender should be recovered by or on behalf of Borrower from Swing Line Lender in bankruptcy, by assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all Lenders in the manner contemplated by Section 2.18.

(v) If for any reason Revolving Loans are not made pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(iv) in an amount sufficient to repay any amounts owed to Swing Line Lender in respect of any outstanding Swing Line Loans on or before the third Business Day after demand for payment thereof by Swing Line Lender, each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to, and hereby agrees to, have purchased a participation in such outstanding Swing Line Loans, and in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the applicable unpaid amount together with accrued interest thereon. Upon one Business Day’s notice from Swing Line Lender, each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment shall deliver to Swing Line Lender an amount equal to its respective participation in the applicable unpaid amount in same day funds at the Principal Office of Swing Line Lender. In order to evidence such participation each Lender holding a Revolving Commitment agrees to enter into a participation agreement at the request of Swing Line Lender in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Swing Line Lender. In the event any Lender holding a Revolving Commitment fails to make available to Swing Line Lender the amount of such Lender’s participation as provided in this paragraph, Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon for three Business Days at the rate customarily used by Swing Line Lender for the correction of errors among banks and thereafter at the Base Rate, as applicable.

(vi) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (1) each Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans for the purpose of repaying any Refunded Swing Line Loans pursuant to the second preceding paragraph and each Lender’s obligation to purchase a participation in any unpaid Swing Line Loans pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph shall be absolute and unconditional

and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against Swing Line Lender, any Credit Party or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuation of a Default or Event of Default; (C) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of any Credit Party; (D) any breach of this Agreement or any other Credit Document by any party thereto; or (E) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that such obligations of each Lender are subject to the condition that Swing Line Lender believed in good faith that all conditions under Section 3.2 to the making of the applicable Refunded Swing Line Loans or other unpaid Swing Line Loans, were satisfied at the time such Refunded Swing Line Loans or unpaid Swing Line Loans were made, or the satisfaction of any such condition not satisfied had been waived by the Requisite Lenders prior to or at the time such Refunded Swing Line Loans or other unpaid Swing Line Loans were made; and (2) Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Line Loans (A) if it has elected not to do so after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or Event of Default or (B) at a time when a Funding Default exists unless Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and Borrower to eliminate Swing Line Lender’s risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender’s participation in such Swing Ling Loan, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Swing Line Loans.

(vii) Upon the request by Swing Line Lender to have a Revolving Loan made for the purpose of repaying any Refunded Swing Line Loan pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph (iv) or the request by Swing Line Lender to have Lender purchase a participation in any unpaid Swing Line Loans pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph (v), unless Swing Line Lender has received notice from the Administrative Agent that the conditions precedent under Section 3.2 were not satisfied in full at the time that the Swing Line Loan was made to Borrower to which such Refunded Swing Line Loan relates or to which such participation in any unpaid Swing Line Loans relates, Swing Line Lender shall be deemed to have satisfied the condition of possessing a good faith belief that all conditions precedent under Section 3.2 have been satisfied for purposes of the immediately preceding paragraph (vi).

Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit or amendment or modification to a Letter of Credit, Issuing Bank shall promptly notify each Lender with a Revolving Commitment of such issuance, which notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment or modification to a Letter of Credit and the amount of such Lender’s respective participation in such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.4(e). Unless the Issuing Bank has received notice from the Administrative Agent to the contrary, the Issuing Bank shall be entitled to rely on any certification from Borrower contained in any Issuance Notice to the effect that the conditions precedent to the issuance of any requested Letter of Credit have been satisfied in full.

(c) Responsibility of Issuing Bank With Respect to Requests for Drawings and Payments. In determining whether to honor any drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, Issuing Bank shall be responsible only to examine the documents delivered under such Letter of Credit with reasonable care so as to ascertain whether they appear on their face to be in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. As between Borrower and Issuing Bank, Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit issued by Issuing Bank, by the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits

thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Issuing Bank, including any Governmental Acts; none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of Issuing Bank’s rights or powers hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing and in furtherance thereof, any action taken or omitted by Issuing Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not give rise to any liability on the part of Issuing Bank to Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.4(c), Borrower shall retain any and all rights it may have against Issuing Bank for any liability arising solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Bank.

(d) Reimbursement by Borrower of Amounts Drawn or Paid Under Letters of Credit. In the event Issuing Bank has determined to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit, it shall immediately notify Borrower and Administrative Agent (with a copy to Collateral Agent), and Borrower shall reimburse Issuing Bank on or before the Business Day immediately following the date on which such drawing is honored (the “Reimbursement Date”) in an amount in Dollars and in same day funds equal to the amount of such honored drawing; provided, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) unless Borrower shall have notified Administrative Agent (with a copy to Collateral Agent) and Issuing Bank prior to 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date such drawing is honored that Borrower intends to reimburse Issuing Bank for the amount of such honored drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Revolving Loans, Borrower shall be deemed to have given a timely Funding Notice to Administrative Agent requesting Lenders with Revolving Commitments to make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans on the Reimbursement Date in an amount in Dollars equal to the amount of such honored drawing, and (ii) subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified in Section 3.2, Lenders with Revolving Commitments shall, on the Reimbursement Date, make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans in the amount of such honored drawing, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by Administrative Agent to reimburse Issuing Bank for the amount of such honored drawing; and provided further, if for any reason proceeds of Revolving Loans are not received by Issuing Bank on the Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the amount of such honored drawing, Borrower shall reimburse Issuing Bank, on demand, in an amount in same day funds equal to the excess of the amount of such honored drawing over the aggregate amount of such Revolving Loans, if any, which are so received. Nothing in this Section 2.4(d) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender with a Revolving Commitment from its obligation to make Revolving Loans on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and Borrower shall retain any and all rights it may have against any such Lender resulting from the failure of such Lender to make such Revolving Loans under this Section 2.4(d).

(e) Lenders’ Purchase of Participations in Letters of Credit. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender having a Revolving Commitment shall be

deemed to have purchased, and hereby agrees to irrevocably purchase, from Issuing Bank a participation in such Letter of Credit and any drawings honored thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (with respect to the Revolving Commitments) of the maximum amount which is or at any time may become available to be drawn thereunder. In the event that Borrower shall fail for any reason to reimburse Issuing Bank as provided in Section 2.4(d), Issuing Bank shall promptly notify each Lender with a Revolving Commitment of the unreimbursed amount of such honored drawing (including any interest payable in connection therewith) and of such Lender’s respective participation therein based on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Commitments.

Nothing in this Section 2.4(e) shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any Lender with a Revolving Commitment to recover from Issuing Bank any amounts made available by such Lender to Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section in the event that it is determined that the payment with respect to a Letter of Credit in respect of which payment was made by such Lender constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Issuing Bank. In the event Issuing Bank shall have been reimbursed by other Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.4(e) for all or any portion of any drawing honored by Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under this Section 2.4(e) with respect to such honored drawing such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments subsequently received by Issuing Bank from Borrower in reimbursement of such honored drawing when such payments are received. Any such distribution shall be made to a Lender at its primary address set forth below its name on Appendix B or at such other address as such Lender may request.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of Borrower to reimburse Issuing Bank for drawings honored under the Letters of Credit issued by it and to repay any Revolving Loans made by Lenders pursuant to Section 2.4(d) and the obligations of Lenders under Section 2.4(e) shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms hereof under all circumstances including any of the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit; (ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which Borrower or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), Issuing Bank, Lender or any other Person or, in the case of a Lender, against Borrower, whether in connection herewith, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured); (iii) any draft or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iv) payment by Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document which does not substantially comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (v) any adverse change in

2.5. Issuance of Synthetic Letters of Credit and Purchase of Participations Therein.

(a) Synthetic Letters of Credit. During the Synthetic LC Commitment Period, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Synthetic LC Issuing Bank agrees to issue Synthetic Letters of Credit for the account of Borrower in the aggregate amount up to but not exceeding the aggregate Synthetic LC Commitments; provided, (i) each Synthetic Letter of Credit shall be denominated in Dollars; (ii) the stated amount of each Synthetic Letter of Credit shall not be less than $50,000 or such lesser amount as is acceptable to Synthetic LC Issuing Bank; (iii) after giving effect to such issuance, in no event shall the Synthetic LC Usage exceed the amount in the Synthetic LC Deposit Account; (iv) in no event shall any standby Synthetic Letter of Credit have an expiration date later than the earlier of (1) the second Business Day prior to the Synthetic LC Commitment Termination Date and (2) the date which is one year from the date of issuance of such standby Synthetic Letter of Credit; and (v) in no event shall any commercial Synthetic Letter of Credit (x) have an expiration date later than the earlier of (1) the second Business Day prior to the Synthetic LC Commitment Termination Date and (2) the date which is 180 days from the date of issuance of such commercial Synthetic Letter of Credit or (y) be issued if such commercial Synthetic Letter of Credit is otherwise unacceptable to Synthetic LC Issuing Bank in its reasonable discretion. Subject to the foregoing, Synthetic LC Issuing Bank may agree that a standby Synthetic Letter of Credit will automatically be extended for one or more successive periods not to exceed one year each, unless Synthetic LC Issuing Bank elects not to extend for any such additional period; provided, Synthetic LC Issuing Bank shall not extend any such Synthetic Letter of Credit if it has received written notice that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time Synthetic LC Issuing Bank must elect to allow such extension.

(b) Notice of Issuance. Whenever Borrower desires the issuance of a Synthetic Letter of Credit, it shall deliver to Administrative Agent (with a copy to Collateral

Agent and Synthetic LC Issuing Bank) an Issuance Notice no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least three Business Days (in the case of standby letters of credit) or five Business Days (in the case of commercial letters of credit), or in each case such shorter period as may be agreed to by Synthetic LC Issuing Bank in any particular instance, in advance of the proposed date of issuance. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 3.2, Synthetic LC Issuing Bank shall issue the requested Synthetic Letter of Credit only in accordance with Synthetic LC Issuing Bank’s standard operating procedures. Upon the issuance of any Synthetic Letter of Credit or amendment or modification to a Synthetic Letter of Credit, Synthetic LC Issuing Bank shall promptly notify Administrative Agent (with a copy to Collateral Agent) who shall promptly notify each Synthetic LC Lender of such issuance, which notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such Synthetic Letter of Credit or amendment or modification to a Synthetic Letter of Credit and the amount of such Lender’s respective participation in such Synthetic Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.5(e). Unless the Synthetic LC Issuing Bank has received notice from the Administrative Agent to the contrary, the Synthetic LC Issuing Bank shall be entitled to rely on any certification from Borrower contained in any Issuance Notice to the effect that the conditions precedent to the issuance of any requested Synthetic Letter of Credit have been satisfied in full.

(c) Responsibility of Synthetic LC Issuing Bank With Respect to Requests for Drawings and Payments. In determining whether to honor any drawing under any Synthetic Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, Synthetic LC Issuing Bank shall be responsible only to examine the documents delivered under such Synthetic Letter of Credit with reasonable care so as to ascertain whether they appear on their face to be in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Synthetic Letter of Credit. As between Borrower and Synthetic LC Issuing Bank, Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Synthetic Letters of Credit issued by Synthetic LC Issuing Bank, by the respective beneficiaries of such Synthetic Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Synthetic LC Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any such Synthetic Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Synthetic Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any such Synthetic Letter of Credit to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Synthetic Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Synthetic Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Synthetic Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Synthetic Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Synthetic LC Issuing Bank, including any Governmental Acts; none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of Synthetic LC Issuing Bank’s rights or powers hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing and in furtherance thereof, any action taken or omitted by Synthetic LC Issuing Bank under or in connection with the Synthetic Letters of Credit or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not give

rise to any liability on the part of Synthetic LC Issuing Bank to Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.5(c), Borrower shall retain any and all rights it may have against Synthetic LC Issuing Bank for any liability arising solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Synthetic LC Issuing Bank.

(d) Reimbursement by Borrower of Amounts Drawn or Paid Under Synthetic Letters of Credit. In the event Synthetic LC Issuing Bank has determined to honor a drawing under a Synthetic Letter of Credit, it shall immediately notify Borrower, Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, and Borrower shall reimburse such Synthetic LC Disbursement by paying to Administrative Agent on or before the Business Day immediately following the date of notice to Borrower, Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent of such Synthetic LC Disbursement (the “Synthetic LC Reimbursement Date”) an amount in Dollars and in same day funds equal to the amount of such Synthetic LC Disbursement. Promptly following receipt by Administrative Agent of any payment from Borrower pursuant to this paragraph in respect of any Synthetic LC Disbursement, Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to Synthetic LC Issuing Bank or, to the extent payments have been made from the Synthetic LC Deposit Account pursuant to paragraph (e) below, to the Synthetic LC Deposit Account for allocation by Administrative Agent among the Sub-Accounts of the Synthetic LC Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares.

(e) Lenders’ Purchase of Participations in Synthetic Letters of Credit. (i) Immediately upon the issuance of each Synthetic Letter of Credit, each Synthetic LC Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, and hereby agrees to irrevocably purchase, from Synthetic LC Issuing Bank a participation in such Synthetic Letter of Credit and any Synthetic LC Disbursement thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (with respect to the Synthetic LC Commitments) of the maximum amount which is or at any time may become available to be drawn thereunder. In the event that Borrower shall fail for any reason to reimburse Synthetic LC Issuing Bank in respect of a Synthetic LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.5(d), Synthetic LC Issuing Bank shall promptly notify Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, and Administrative Agent shall thereafter promptly notify each Synthetic LC Lender, of the unreimbursed amount of such Synthetic LC Disbursement, and Synthetic LC Depositary Bank shall pay to Synthetic LC Issuing Bank, from the Synthetic LC Deposit Account, for the account of each Synthetic LC Lender, an amount equal to such Synthetic LC Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Synthetic LC Disbursement, in Dollars and in same day funds, at the office of Synthetic LC Issuing Bank specified in such notice, not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first business day (under the laws of the jurisdiction in which such office of Synthetic LC Issuing Bank is located) after the date notified by Synthetic LC Issuing Bank. In the event that the Synthetic LC Deposit Account is charged by Synthetic LC Issuing Bank or Collateral Agent to reimburse Synthetic LC Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.5(e), Borrower shall pay over to Administrative Agent in reimbursement of the applicable Synthetic LC Disbursement an amount equal to the amount so charged, as provided in paragraph (d) above, and such payment shall be remitted by Administrative Agent to Collateral Agent for deposit into the Synthetic LC Deposit Account. Each Synthetic LC Lender irrevocably authorizes Collateral Agent and the Synthetic LC Issuing Bank to apply, or to permit the Synthetic LC Depositary Bank to apply, amounts of its Synthetic LC Deposit held in the Synthetic LC Deposit Account as provided in this Section 2.5(e). Any payment made from the Synthetic LC Deposit Account, pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse Synthetic LC Issuing Bank for any Synthetic LC

Disbursement shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Synthetic LC Disbursement. The Synthetic LC Depositary Bank agrees to make available amounts in the Synthetic LC Deposit Account at the times and for the purposes set forth in this Section 2.5(e), either by application of such amounts to reimburse Synthetic LC Issuing Bank (if Synthetic LC Issuing Bank shall be the Synthetic LC Depositary Bank) or by transfer of such amounts to Synthetic LC Issuing Bank or Collateral Agent, which shall apply the amounts so transferred to reimburse Synthetic LC Issuing Bank (if Synthetic LC Issuing Bank shall not be the Synthetic LC Depositary Bank).

(f) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of Borrower to reimburse Synthetic LC Issuing Bank for Synthetic LC Disbursements made by it and the obligations of Lenders under Section 2.5(e) shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms hereof under all circumstances including any of the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Synthetic Letter of Credit; (ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which Borrower or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Synthetic Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), Synthetic LC Issuing Bank, Lender or any other Person or, in the case of a Lender, against Borrower, whether in connection herewith, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries and the beneficiary for which any Synthetic Letter of Credit was procured); (iii) any draft or other document presented under any Synthetic Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iv) payment by Synthetic LC Issuing Bank to the beneficiary or as otherwise required by law under any Synthetic Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document which does not substantially comply with the terms of such Synthetic Letter of Credit; (v) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; (vi) any breach hereof or any other Credit Document by any party thereto; (vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; (viii) the fact that an Event of Default or a Default shall have occurred and be continuing; or (ix) the return of the Synthetic LC Deposits; provided, in each case, that payment by Synthetic LC Issuing Bank under the applicable Synthetic Letter of Credit shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct of Synthetic LC Issuing Bank under the circumstances in question.

(g) Indemnification. Without duplication of any obligation of Borrower under Section 10.2 or 10.3, in addition to amounts payable as provided herein, Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless Synthetic LC Issuing Bank from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel and reasonable allocated costs of internal counsel) which Synthetic LC Issuing Bank may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Synthetic Letter of Credit by Synthetic LC Issuing Bank, other than as a result of (1) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Synthetic LC Issuing Bank or (2) the wrongful dishonor by Synthetic LC Issuing Bank of a proper demand for payment made under any Synthetic Letter of Credit issued by it, or (ii) the failure of Synthetic LC Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under any such Synthetic Letter of Credit as a result of any Governmental Act.

(h) Synthetic LC Issuing Bank Reports. Unless otherwise agreed by Synthetic LC Issuing Bank and Administrative Agent, Synthetic LC Issuing Bank shall report in writing to Administrative Agent (i) on or prior to each Business Day on which Synthetic LC Issuing Bank issues, amends, renews or extends any Synthetic Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the aggregate face amount of the Synthetic Letters of Credit issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amount thereof has changed), it being understood that unless Synthetic LC Issuing Bank has received notice from Administrative Agent that such increase is not then permitted by the terms of this Agreement by 12:00 noon (New York City time), then Synthetic LC Issuing Bank shall effect the issuance, renewal, extension or amendment resulting in an increase in the amount of any Synthetic Letter of Credit, (ii) on each Business Day on which Synthetic LC Issuing Bank makes a Synthetic LC Disbursement, the date and amount of such Synthetic LC Disbursement, (iii) on any Business Day on which Borrower fails to reimburse a Synthetic LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to Synthetic LC Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure and the amount of such Synthetic LC Disbursement and (iv) on any other Business Day, such other information as Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Synthetic Letters of Credit issued by Synthetic LC Issuing Bank and outstanding on such Business Day.

(i) Establishment of Synthetic LC Deposit Account and Sub-Accounts. On or prior to the Closing Date, Synthetic LC Issuing Bank or Collateral Agent shall establish a deposit account (the “Synthetic LC Deposit Account”) of Synthetic LC Issuing Bank or Collateral Agent at the Synthetic LC Depositary Bank with the title “Movie Gallery 2007 Credit Agreement Synthetic LC Deposit Account”. Administrative Agent shall maintain records enabling it to determine at any time the amount of the interest of each Synthetic LC Lender in the Synthetic LC Deposit Account (the interest of each Synthetic LC Lender in the Synthetic LC Deposit Account, as evidenced by such records, being referred to as such Synthetic LC Lender’s “Sub-Account”). Each Sub-Account shall not be a separate deposit account at the Synthetic LC Depositary Bank but shall only be a notation in the records maintained by Administrative Agent. Synthetic LC Issuing Bank, Collateral Agent and Synthetic LC Depositary Bank shall not be required to maintain any records as to the interests of each Synthetic LC Lender (which shall be maintained by Administrative Agent) or make any payments directly to any Synthetic LC Lender (but only to Administrative Agent for payment to any Synthetic LC Lender). Synthetic LC Issuing Bank, Collateral Agent and Synthetic LC Depositary Bank shall not be required to maintain any records as to the interests of each Synthetic LC Lender (which shall be maintained by Administrative Agent) or make any payments directly to any Synthetic LC Lender (but only to Administrative Agent for payment to any Synthetic LC Lender). Administrative Agent shall establish such additional Sub-Accounts for assignee Synthetic LC Lenders as Administrative Agent shall determine pursuant to Section 10.6(g). No Person shall have the right to make any withdrawal from the Synthetic LC Deposit Account or to exercise any other right or power with respect thereto except as expressly provided in paragraph (l) below or in Section 10.6(g). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that the amounts on deposit in the Synthetic LC Deposit Account are and will at all times be property of Collateral Agent or Synthetic LC Issuing Bank, as the case may be, acting for the benefit of the Synthetic LC Lenders, and that no amount on deposit at any time in the Synthetic LC Deposit Account shall be the property of any of the Credit Parties, constitute “Collateral” under the Credit Documents or otherwise be available in any manner to satisfy any Obligations of any of

the Credit Parties under the Credit Documents. Each Synthetic LC Lender agrees that its right, title and interest in and to the Synthetic LC Deposit Account shall be limited to the right, acting through Collateral Agent or Synthetic LC Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to require amounts in its Sub-Account to be applied as provided in paragraph (l) below and that it will have no right to require the return of its portion of the amounts in the Synthetic LC Deposit Account other than as expressly provided in such paragraph (l) (each Synthetic LC Lender hereby acknowledging (i) that its portion of the amounts in the Synthetic LC Deposit Account constitutes payment for its participations in Synthetic Letters of Credit issued or to be issued hereunder, (ii) that its portion of amounts in the Synthetic LC Deposit Account and any investments made therewith shall be applied to reimburse Synthetic LC Issuing Bank hereunder in respect of Synthetic Letters of Credit and (iii) that Synthetic LC Issuing Bank will be issuing, amending, renewing and extending Synthetic Letters of Credit in reliance on the availability of such Synthetic LC Lender’s portion of the amounts in the Synthetic LC Deposit Account to discharge such Synthetic LC Lender’s obligations in accordance with Section 2.5(e) in connection with any Synthetic LC Disbursement thereunder). The funding of the Synthetic LC Deposits, the establishment and funding of the Synthetic LC Deposit Account and the agreements with respect thereto set forth in this Agreement constitute arrangements among Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Synthetic LC Issuing Bank and the Synthetic LC Lenders with respect to the funding obligations of the Synthetic LC Lenders under this Agreement, and the amounts in the Synthetic LC Deposit Account do not constitute a loan or extension of credit to any Credit Party. No Credit Party shall have any responsibility or liability to the Synthetic LC Lenders, the Agents or any other Person in respect of the establishment, maintenance, administration or misappropriation of the Synthetic LC Deposit Account (or any Sub-Account) or with respect to the investment of amounts held therein, including pursuant to paragraph (n) below. Each of Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, Synthetic LC Issuing Bank and the Synthetic LC Depositary Bank hereby waives any right of setoff against the Synthetic LC Deposit Account that it may have under applicable law or otherwise with respect to amounts owed to it by Synthetic LC Lenders other than in its capacity as Synthetic LC Issuing Bank with respect to unreimbursed Synthetic LC Disbursements (it being agreed that such waiver shall not reduce the rights of the Synthetic LC Depositary Bank, in its capacity as Synthetic LC Issuing Bank or otherwise, to apply or require the application of the amounts in the Synthetic LC Deposit Account in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement).

(j) Funding of Synthetic LC Deposits.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Synthetic LC Lender severally agrees to transfer to Administrative Agent for deposit in such Synthetic LC Lender’s Sub-Account with Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount up to but not exceeding such Synthetic LC Lender’s Synthetic LC Commitment.

(iii) Notice of receipt of such Funding Notice in respect of Synthetic LC Deposits, together with the amount of each Synthetic LC Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof shall be provided by Administrative Agent to each Synthetic LC Lender and to Synthetic LC Depositary Bank.

(iv) Each Synthetic LC Lender shall make the amount of its Synthetic LC Deposit available to Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Closing Date by wire transfer of same day funds in Dollars, at the Principal Office designated by Administrative Agent. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified herein, Administrative Agent shall remit to Collateral Agent the proceeds of such Synthetic LC Deposits for deposit by Collateral Agent into the Synthetic LC Deposit Account.

(v) Borrower may only request Synthetic LC Lenders to make Synthetic LC Deposits on the Closing Date.

(vi) Synthetic LC Deposits shall be available, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, for application pursuant to Section 2.5(e) to reimburse such Synthetic LC Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Synthetic LC Disbursements that are not reimbursed by Borrower. The obligations of Synthetic LC Lenders to make the deposits required by this Section 2.5(j) are several, and no Synthetic LC Lender shall be responsible for any other Synthetic LC Lender’s failure to make its deposit as so required.

(k) Synthetic LC Deposits in Synthetic LC Deposit Account. The following amounts will be deposited in the Synthetic LC Deposit Account at the following times:

(i) Each Synthetic LC Lender shall make such Synthetic LC Lender’s Synthetic LC Deposits available to Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.5(j). Thereafter, the Synthetic LC Deposits shall be available, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, for application pursuant to Section 2.5(e) to reimburse Synthetic LC Issuing Bank for such Synthetic LC Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Synthetic LC Disbursements that are not reimbursed by Borrower.

(ii) On any date prior to the Synthetic LC Commitment Termination Date on which Administrative Agent or Synthetic LC Issuing Bank receives any reimbursement payment from Borrower in respect of a Synthetic LC Disbursement with respect to which amounts were withdrawn from the Synthetic LC Deposit Account to reimburse Synthetic LC Issuing Bank, subject to subparagraph (iii) below, Administrative Agent shall remit to Collateral Agent, or Synthetic LC Issuing Bank shall transfer to Collateral Agent, which shall deposit in the Synthetic LC Deposit Account, and Administrative Agent shall credit to the Sub-Accounts of the Synthetic LC Lenders, the portion of such reimbursement payment to be deposited therein, in accordance with Section 2.5(e).

(iii) If at any time when any amount is required to be deposited in the Synthetic LC Deposit Account under subparagraph (ii) above the sum of such

amount and the amount held in the Synthetic LC Deposit Account at such time would exceed the total Synthetic LC Deposits, then such excess shall not be deposited in the Synthetic LC Deposit Account and shall instead be paid to Administrative Agent, which shall pay to each Synthetic LC Lender its Pro Rata Share of such excess.

(iv) Concurrently with the effectiveness of any assignment by any Synthetic LC Lender of all or any portion of its Synthetic LC Deposit, Administrative Agent shall transfer into the Sub-Account of the assignee the corresponding portion of the amount on deposit in the assignor’s Sub-Account in accordance with Section 10.6(g).

(l) Withdrawals From and Closing of Synthetic LC Deposit Account. Amounts on deposit in the Synthetic LC Deposit Account shall be withdrawn and distributed (or transferred, in the case of subparagraph (iv) below) as follows:

(i) On each date on which Synthetic LC Issuing Bank is to be reimbursed by the Synthetic LC Lenders pursuant to Section 2.5(e) for any Synthetic LC Disbursement made by Synthetic LC Issuing Bank, Administrative Agent shall instruct Collateral Agent to, and Collateral Agent shall to the extent funds are available, withdraw from the Synthetic LC Deposit Account the amount of such unreimbursed Synthetic LC Disbursement (and Administrative Agent shall debit the Sub-Account of each Synthetic LC Lender in the amount of such Synthetic LC Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such unreimbursed Synthetic LC Disbursement) and Collateral Agent shall apply such amount to reimburse Synthetic LC Issuing Bank for such Synthetic LC Disbursement (if such Synthetic LC Issuing Bank shall be the Synthetic LC Depositary Bank) or transfer such amount to Administrative Agent, which shall apply the amount so transferred to reimburse Synthetic LC Issuing Bank (if Synthetic LC Issuing Bank shall not be the Synthetic LC Depositary Bank), all in accordance with Section 2.5(e).

(ii) Concurrently with each voluntary reduction of the total Synthetic LC Commitments pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.14 or 2.16, Administrative Agent shall instruct Collateral Agent to, and Collateral Agent shall to the extent funds are available, withdraw from the Synthetic LC Deposit Account and Collateral Agent shall remit such funds to Administrative Agent and Administrative Agent shall pay to each Synthetic LC Lender such Synthetic LC Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any amount by which the Synthetic LC Deposits, after giving effect to such reduction of the total Synthetic LC Commitments, would exceed the greater of the total Synthetic LC Commitments and the total Synthetic LC Usage (and the Synthetic LC Depositary Bank agrees to pay over such amounts in the Synthetic LC Deposit Account to Administrative Agent).

(iii) Concurrently with any reduction of the total Synthetic LC Commitments to zero pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.14, 2.15 or Section 8, Administrative Agent shall instruct Collateral Agent to, and Collateral Agent shall to the extent funds are available, withdraw from the Synthetic LC Deposit Account and Collateral Agent shall remit such funds to Administrative Agent and

Administrative Agent shall pay to each Synthetic LC Lender such Synthetic LC Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the excess at such time of the aggregate amount of the Synthetic LC Deposits over the Synthetic LC Usage (and the Synthetic LC Depositary Bank agrees to pay over such amounts in the Synthetic LC Deposit Account to Administrative Agent).

(iv) Concurrently with the effectiveness of any assignment by any Synthetic LC Lender of all or any portion of its Synthetic LC Deposit, the corresponding portion of the assignor’s Sub-Account shall be transferred on the records of Administrative Agent from the assignor’s Sub-Account to the assignee’s Sub-Account in accordance with Section 10.6(g) and, if required by Section 10.6(g), Administrative Agent shall close such assignor’s Sub-Account.

Each Synthetic LC Lender irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that its Synthetic LC Deposit may be applied or withdrawn from time to time as set forth in this paragraph (l).

(m) Investment of Amounts in Synthetic LC Deposit Account. The Synthetic LC Depositary Bank shall invest, or cause to be invested, the amounts held from time to time in the Synthetic LC Deposit Account so as to earn for the account of Collateral, acting on behalf of each Synthetic LC Lender, a return thereon (the “Synthetic LC Deposit Return”) for each day at a rate per annum equal to (i) the one month LIBOR rate as determined by Synthetic LC Depositary Bank on such day (or if such day was not a Business Day, the first Business Day immediately preceding such day) based on rates for deposits in dollars (as set forth by Bloomberg L.P.-page BTMM or any other comparable publicly available service as may be selected by Synthetic LC Depositary Bank) (the “Benchmark LIBOR Rate”) minus (ii) 0.15% per annum (based on a 365/366 day year). The Benchmark LIBOR Rate will be reset on each Business Day. The Synthetic LC Deposit Return accrued through and including March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year shall be paid by the Synthetic LC Depositary Bank to Administrative Agent, for payment to each Synthetic LC Lender, on the second Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the date on which each of the total Synthetic LC Deposits and the Synthetic LC Usage shall have been reduced to zero.

(n) Sufficiency of Synthetic LC Deposits to Provide for Undrawn/ Unreimbursed Synthetic Letters of Credit. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, including Sections 2.1 and 2.5, no Synthetic Letter of Credit shall be issued or increased as to its stated amount if, after giving effect to such issuance or increase, the aggregate

amount of the Synthetic LC Deposits would be less than the Synthetic LC Usage. Administrative Agent agrees to provide, at the request of Synthetic LC Issuing Bank or Collateral Agent, information to such Synthetic LC Issuing Bank or Collateral Agent, respectively, as to the aggregate amount of the Synthetic LC Deposits and the Synthetic LC Usage.

(o) Satisfaction of Synthetic LC Lender Funding Obligations. Borrower and Synthetic LC Issuing Bank each acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, the deposits by Collateral Agent for Administrative Agent, on behalf of each Synthetic LC Lender, in the Synthetic LC Deposit Account on and after the Closing Date of funds equal to such Synthetic LC Lender’s Synthetic LC Commitment will fully discharge the obligation of such Synthetic LC Lender to reimburse such Synthetic LC Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Synthetic LC Disbursements that are not reimbursed by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.5(d), and that no other or further payments shall be required to be made by any Synthetic LC Lender in respect of any such reimbursement obligations.

2.6. Pro Rata Shares; Availability of Funds.

(a) Pro Rata Shares. All Loans and Synthetic LC Deposits shall be made, and all participations purchased, by Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan or Synthetic LC Deposit requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby nor shall any Term Loan Commitment, Synthetic LC Commitment or any Revolving Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby.

(b) Availability of Funds. Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the applicable Credit Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s Loan or Synthetic LC Deposit requested on such Credit Date, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Administrative Agent on such Credit Date and Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount on such Credit Date. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to Administrative Agent by such Lender, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the customary rate set by Administrative Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, (i) in the case of Loans, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent together with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the rate payable hereunder for the applicable Loans and (ii) in the case of Synthetic LC Deposits, Administrative Agent may withdraw from the Synthetic LC Deposit Account such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date until the date of such withdrawal by Administrative Agent, at the rate for Synthetic LC Deposits provided in Section

2.5(m). Nothing in this Section 2.6(b) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Synthetic LC Commitment, Term Loan Commitments and Revolving Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

2.7. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Term Loans made on the Closing Date shall be applied by Borrower to fund (i) the refinancing of Existing Indebtedness and (ii) to pay certain other fees and expenses relating to the credit facilities established hereunder. The proceeds of the Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans, Synthetic Letters of Credit and Letters of Credit made after the Closing Date shall be applied by Borrower for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries. No portion of the proceeds of any Credit Extension shall be used in any manner that causes or might cause such Credit Extension or the application of such proceeds to violate Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X of the Board of Governors or any other regulation thereof or to violate the Exchange Act.

2.8. Evidence of Debt; Register; Lenders’ Books and Records; Notes.

(a) Lenders’ Evidence of Debt. Each Lender shall maintain on its internal records an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of Borrower to such Lender, including the amounts of the Loans made by it and each repayment and prepayment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower, absent manifest error; provided, that the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Revolving Commitments or Borrower’s Obligations in respect of any applicable Loans; and provided further, in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern.

(b) Register. Administrative Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it) shall maintain at the Principal Office a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders, the Revolving Commitments and Loans of each Lender and the Synthetic LC Commitments and Synthetic LC Deposits of each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower, Collateral Agent, any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s Loans or Synthetic LC Deposits), Issuing Bank (with respect to any entry relating to Letters of Credit), Synthetic LC Issuing Bank (with respect to any entry relating to Synthetic Letters of Credit or Synthetic LC Deposits) or Synthetic LC Depositary Bank (with respect to any entry relating to Synthetic Letters of Credit or Synthetic LC Deposits) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Administrative Agent shall record, or shall cause to be recorded, in the Register the Revolving Commitments and the Loans of each Lender and the Synthetic LC Commitments and the Synthetic LC Deposits of each Lender, each in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6, and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans and each withdrawal from Synthetic LC Deposit Account, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower and each Lender, absent manifest error; provided, failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Revolving Commitments or Synthetic LC Commitments or Borrower’s Obligations in respect of any Loan or Synthetic LC Deposit. Borrower hereby designates Wachovia to serve as Borrower’s agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 2.8, and Borrower

hereby agrees that, to the extent Wachovia serves in such capacity, Wachovia and its officers, directors, employees, agents, sub-agents and affiliates shall constitute “Indemnitees.”

(c) Notes. If so requested by any Lender by written notice to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, or at any time thereafter, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 10.6) on the Closing Date (or, if such notice is delivered after the Closing Date, promptly after Borrower’s receipt of such notice) a Note or Notes to evidence such Lender’s Term Loan, Revolving Loan or Swing Line Loan, as the case may be.

2.9. Interest on Loans.

(a) Except as otherwise set forth herein, each Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise) thereof as follows:

(i) in the case of Revolving Loans:

(1) if a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; or

(2) if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin;

(ii) in the case of Swing Line Loans, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; and

(iii) in the case of Term Loans:

(1) if a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate plus 2.50% per annum; or

(2) if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus 3.50% per annum;

(b) The basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Loan (except a Swing Line Loan which can be made and maintained as Base Rate Loans only), and the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, shall be selected by Borrower and notified to Administrative Agent and Lenders pursuant to the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be; provided, until the date that Syndication Agent notifies Borrower that the primary syndication of the Loans, Synthetic LC Commitments and Revolving Commitments has been completed, as determined by Syndication Agent, the Term Loans shall be maintained as either (1) Eurodollar Rate Loans having an Interest Period of no longer than one month or (2) Base Rate Loans. If on any day a Loan is outstanding with respect to which a Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice has not been delivered to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then for that day such Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan.

(c) In connection with Eurodollar Rate Loans there shall be no more than five (5) Interest Periods outstanding at any time. In the event Borrower fails to specify between a Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Rate Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, such Loan (if outstanding as a Eurodollar Rate Loan) will be automatically converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then-current Interest Period for such Loan (or if outstanding as a Base Rate Loan will remain as, or (if not then outstanding) will be made as, a Base Rate Loan). In the event Borrower fails to specify an Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month. As soon as practicable after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date, Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the Eurodollar Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower and each Lender.

(d) Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.9(a) shall be computed (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans on the basis of a 365-day or 366-day year, as the case may be, and (ii) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, on the basis of a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Term Loan, the last Interest Payment Date with respect to such Term Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted from a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Eurodollar Rate Loan to such Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Base Rate Loan to such Eurodollar Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided, if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan.

(e) Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Loan (i) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect to interest accrued on and to each such payment date; (ii) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears upon any prepayment of that Loan, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid; and (iii) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears at maturity of the Loans, including final maturity of the Loans; provided, however, with respect to any voluntary prepayment of a Base Rate Loan, accrued interest shall instead be payable on the applicable Interest Payment Date.

(f) Borrower agrees to pay (x) to Issuing Bank as described in paragraph (g) below, with respect to drawings honored under any Letter of Credit, interest on the amount paid by Issuing Bank in respect of each such honored drawing from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date such amount is reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower at a rate equal to (i) for the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the applicable Reimbursement Date, the rate of interest otherwise payable hereunder with respect to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans, and (ii) thereafter, a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the rate of interest otherwise payable hereunder with respect to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate

Loans, and (y) to Administrative Agent, for the account of Synthetic LC Issuing Bank and the Synthetic LC Lenders as described in paragraph (g) below, with respect to any Synthetic LC Disbursement, interest on the amount paid by Synthetic LC Issuing Bank in respect of each such Synthetic LC Disbursement from the date of such Synthetic LC Disbursement to but excluding the date such amount is reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower at a rate equal to (i) for the period from the date of such Synthetic LC Disbursement to but excluding the applicable Synthetic LC Reimbursement Date, the rate of interest otherwise payable hereunder with respect to Term Loans that are Base Rate Loans, and (ii) thereafter, a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the rate of interest otherwise payable hereunder with respect to Term Loans that are Base Rate Loans.

(g) Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.9(f) shall be computed on the basis of a 365/366-day year for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues, and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand is made, on the date on which the related drawing under a Letter of Credit or Synthetic LC Disbursement, as applicable, is reimbursed in full by or on behalf of Borrower. Promptly upon receipt by Administrative Agent of any payment of interest due in respect of LC Disbursements pursuant to Section 2.9(f), Administrative Agent shall distribute to each Synthetic LC Lender, out of the interest received by Administrative Agent in respect of the period from the date of such Synthetic LC Disbursement to but excluding the date on which such Synthetic LC Disbursement is reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower, the amount that such Synthetic LC Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the letter of credit fee that would have been payable in respect of such Synthetic Letter of Credit for such period if no Synthetic LC Disbursement had been made under such Synthetic Letter of Credit; in the event Synthetic LC Issuing Bank shall have been reimbursed for all or any portion of such Synthetic LC Disbursement pursuant to Section 2.5(e), Administrative Agent shall distribute to each Synthetic LC Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any interest received by Administrative Agent in respect of that portion of such Synthetic LC Disbursement so reimbursed by Lenders for the period from the date on which Lenders made such reimbursement to but excluding the date on which such portion of such Synthetic LC Disbursement is reimbursed by Borrower, net of any amounts paid to such Lender pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence in respect of letter of credit fees for such period in respect of such Letter of Credit. Promptly upon receipt by Issuing Bank of any payment of interest in respect of drawings under Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.9(f), Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender, out of the interest received by Issuing Bank in respect of the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date on which Issuing Bank is reimbursed for the amount of such drawing (including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of any Revolving Loans), the amount that such Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the letter of credit fee that would have been payable in respect of such Letter of Credit for such period if no drawing had been honored under such Letter of Credit; in the event Issuing Bank shall have been reimbursed by Lenders for all or any portion of such honored drawing, Issuing Bank shall distribute to each Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under Section 2.4(e) with respect to such honored drawing such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any interest received by Issuing Bank in respect of that portion of such honored drawing so reimbursed by Lenders for the period from the date on which Issuing Bank was so reimbursed by Lenders to but excluding the date on which such portion of such honored drawing is reimbursed by Borrower. All interest payable pursuant to Section 2.9(f) that is not

distributed to Lenders as described in the two preceding sentences shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank or Synthetic LC Issuing Bank, as applicable.

2.10. Conversion/Continuation.

(a) Subject to Section 2.19 and so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, Borrower shall have the option:

(i) to convert at any time all or any part of any Term Loan or Revolving Loan equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount from one Type of Loan to another Type of Loan; provided, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may only be converted on the expiration of the Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan unless Borrower shall pay all amounts due under Section 2.19 in connection with any such conversion; or

(ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, to continue all or any portion of such Loan equal to $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount as a Eurodollar Rate Loan.

Borrower shall deliver a Conversion/Continuation Notice to Administrative Agent (with a copy to Collateral Agent) no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed conversion date (in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan) and at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date (in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan). Except as otherwise provided herein, a Conversion/Continuation Notice for conversion to, or continuation of, any Eurodollar Rate Loans (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and Borrower shall be bound to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance therewith.

2.11. Default Interest The principal amount of all Loans outstanding and not paid when due and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on the Loans or any fees or other amounts owed hereunder and not paid when due, shall thereafter bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable bankruptcy laws) payable on demand at a rate that is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder with respect to the applicable Loans (or, in the case of any such fees and other amounts, at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans that are Revolving Loans); provided, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, upon the expiration of the Interest Period in effect at the time any such increase in interest rate is effective such Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon become Base Rate Loans and shall thereafter bear interest payable upon demand at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.11 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Collateral Agent, Administrative Agent or any Lender.

2.12. Fees.

(a) Borrower agrees to pay to Lenders having Revolving Exposure:

(i) commitment fees equal to (1) the average of the daily difference between (a) the Revolving Commitments and (b) the aggregate principal amount of (x) all outstanding Revolving Loans plus (y) the Letter of Credit Usage plus (z) with respect to the commitment fees due to the Swing Line Lender under this Section 2.12(a)(i), all outstanding Swing Line Loans, times (2) the Applicable Revolving Commitment Fee Percentage; and

(e) In addition to any of the foregoing fees, Borrower agrees to pay (i) to Agents such other fees in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon and (ii) to Administrative Agent for the account of each Synthetic LC Lender, the fees set forth in Section 2.5(m) (it being understood that the Synthetic LC Deposit Return paid to Administrative Agent on behalf of the Synthetic LC Lenders pursuant to Section 2.5(m) during the applicable period shall be credited towards payment of the fees referred to in Section 2.12(b) for such period).

second, to prepay Second Lien Term Loans in accordance with the Second Lien Credit Agreement;

third, to prepay the Swing Line Loans to the full extent thereof;

fourth, to prepay the Revolving Loans and pay any outstanding reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit and to pay any outstanding reimbursement obligations with respect to Synthetic Letters of Credit, in each case to the full extent thereof, on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans and amount of outstanding reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit, on the one hand, and the amount of outstanding reimbursement obligations with respect to Synthetic Letters of Credit, on the other hand,); and

fifth, to cash collateralize, on a pro rata basis, outstanding Letters of Credit (without a reduction in the Revolving Commitments) on the one hand, and outstanding Synthetic Letters of Credit and reduce the Synthetic LC Commitments by the amount of such cash collateralization, on the other hand.

(c) Application of Prepayments of Loans to Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Rate Loans. Considering each Class of Loans being prepaid separately, any prepayment thereof 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 which minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19(c).

2.17. General Provisions Regarding Payments.

(a) All payments by Borrower of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made in Dollars in same day funds, without defense, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date due at the Principal Office designated by Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders; for purposes of computing interest and fees, funds received by Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by Borrower on the next succeeding Business Day.

(b) All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan (other than voluntary prepayments of Revolving Loans) shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid, and all such payments (and, in any event, any payments in respect of any Loan on a date when interest is due and payable with respect to such Loan) shall be applied to the payment of interest then due and payable before application to principal.

(c) Administrative Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it) shall promptly distribute to each Lender at such address as such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due hereunder, together with all other amounts due thereto, including all fees payable with respect thereto, to the extent received by Administrative Agent.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions hereof, if any Conversion/ Continuation Notice is withdrawn as to any Affected Lender or if any Affected Lender makes Base Rate Loans in lieu of its Pro Rata Share of any Eurodollar Rate Loans, Administrative Agent shall give effect thereto in apportioning payments received thereafter.

(e) Subject to the provisos set forth in the definition of “Interest Period” as they may apply to Revolving Loans, whenever any payment to be made hereunder with respect to any Loan shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to Revolving Loans only, such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder or of the Revolving Commitment fees hereunder.

(f) Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to charge Borrower’s accounts with Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent in order to cause timely payment to be made to Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent of all principal, interest, fees and expenses due hereunder (subject to sufficient funds being available in its accounts for that purpose).

(g) Administrative Agent shall deem any payment by or on behalf of Borrower hereunder that is not made in same day funds prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) to be a non-conforming payment. Any such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by Administrative Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds, and (ii) the applicable next Business Day. Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic notice to Borrower, Collateral Agent and each applicable Lender (confirmed in

writing) if any payment is non-conforming. Any non-conforming payment may constitute or become a Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Section 8.1(a). Interest shall continue to accrue on any principal as to which a non-conforming payment is made until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than the period from the date of such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the rate determined pursuant to Section 2.11 from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full.

(h) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and not otherwise been waived and the maturity of the Obligations shall have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8.1, or any Event of Default under Section 8.1(f) or (g) shall have occurred, or as to any mandatory prepayments under Section 2.15 at any time an Event of Default shall have occurred and not otherwise been waived in accordance with the terms hereof, then, in each case, all payments or proceeds received by Agents hereunder in respect of any of the Obligations, shall be applied in accordance with the application arrangements described in Section 7.2 of the Pledge and Security Agreement. In the event of any mandatory prepayments under Sections 2.15(a) through 2.15(e), Borrower shall provide a certificate as to the Loan to Value Ratio after giving effect to such mandatory prepayment, prior to making any such mandatory prepayment, showing that the Applicable Loan to Value Ratio is satisfied. If the Applicable Loan to Value Ratio shall not be satisfied after giving effect to such mandatory prepayment, then such mandatory prepayment shall be applied first to the principal of the Swing Line Loans and second to the Revolving Loans, and thereafter in accordance with Section 2.16(b).

2.18. Ratable Sharing. Lenders hereby agree among themselves that if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, amounts payable in respect of Letters of Credit, fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify Collateral Agent, Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided, if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, set-off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by

Borrower to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder.

2.19. Making or Maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(a) Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loans, that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such Loans on the basis provided for in the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower, Collateral Agent and each Lender of such determination, whereupon (i) no Loans may be made as, or converted to, Eurodollar Rate Loans until such time as Administrative Agent notifies Borrower, Collateral Agent and Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, and (ii) any Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice given by Borrower with respect to the Loans in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be a Funding Notice for or Conversion/Continuation Notice into Base Rate Loans.

(b) Illegality or Impracticability of Eurodollar Rate Loans. In the event that on any date any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation with Borrower and Administrative Agent) that the making, maintaining or continuation of its Eurodollar Rate Loans (i) has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or (ii) has become impracticable, as a result of contingencies occurring after the date hereof which materially and adversely affect the London interbank market or the position of such Lender in that market, then, and in any such event, such Lender shall be an “Affected Lender” and it shall on that day give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower, Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Thereafter (1) the obligation of the Affected Lender to make Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by the Affected Lender, (2) to the extent such determination by the Affected Lender relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by Borrower pursuant to a Funding Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Affected Lender shall make such Loan as (or continue such Loan as or convert such Loan to, as the case may be) a Base Rate Loan, (3) the Affected Lender’s obligation to maintain its outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans (the “Affected Loans”) shall be terminated at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the Affected Loans or when required by law, and (4) the Affected Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by Borrower pursuant to a Funding Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, Borrower shall have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 2.19(c), to rescind such Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice as to all Lenders by giving notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to

Administrative Agent (with a copy to Collateral Agent) of such rescission on the date on which the Affected Lender gives notice of its determination as described above (which notice of rescission Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this Section 2.19(b) shall affect the obligation of any Lender other than an Affected Lender to make or maintain Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans in accordance with the terms hereof.

(c) Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid by such Lender to Lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Eurodollar Rate Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by such Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or a rescission pursuant to Section 2.19(b)) a borrowing of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Funding Notice or a telephonic request for borrowing, or a conversion to or continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Conversion/Continuation Notice or a telephonic request for conversion or continuation; (ii) if any prepayment or other principal payment of, or any conversion of, any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan; or (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by Borrower.

(d) Booking of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Any Lender may make, carry or transfer Eurodollar Rate Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of such Lender.

(e) Assumptions Concerning Funding of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 2.19 and under Section 2.20 shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded each of its relevant Eurodollar Rate Loans through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such Eurodollar Rate Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and through the transfer of such Eurodollar deposit from an offshore office of such Lender to a domestic office of such Lender in the United States of America; provided, however, each Lender may fund each of its Eurodollar Rate Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 2.19 and under Section 2.20.

2.20. Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a) Compensation For Increased Costs and Taxes. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.21 (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Lender (which term shall include Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.20(a)) shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or application

thereof (including the introduction of any new law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order), or any determination of a court or Governmental Authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive issued or made after the date hereof by any central bank or other governmental or quasi-governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law): (i) subjects such Lender (or its applicable lending office) to any additional Tax (other than any Tax on the overall net income of such Lender) with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or any payments to such Lender (or its applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder; (ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender (other than any such reserve or other requirements with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans that are reflected in the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate); or (iii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or its obligations hereunder or the London interbank market; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Loans hereunder participating in, issuing or maintaining Synthetic Letters of Credit or Synthetic LC Deposits hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable lending office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Such Lender shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 2.20(a), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

(b) Capital Adequacy Adjustment. In the event that any Lender (which term shall include Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.20(b)) shall have determined that the adoption, effectiveness, phase-in or applicability after the Closing Date of any law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) with any guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s Loans, Revolving Commitments, Synthetic LC Deposits or Synthetic Letters of Credit, or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans or the Synthetic Letters of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase-in, applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling corporation with regard to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within five

Business Days after receipt by Borrower from such Lender of the statement referred to in the next sentence, Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling corporation on an after-tax basis for such reduction. Such Lender shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.20(b), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

(c) Notice. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be under any obligation to compensate any Lender or the Issuing Bank under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.20 with respect to increased costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is 180 days prior to the date of the delivery of the statement required pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b); provided further that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of any change in any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation or order within such 180-day period.

2.21. Taxes; Withholding, etc.

(a) Payments to Be Free and Clear. All sums payable by any Credit Party hereunder and under the other Credit Documents shall (except to the extent required by law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax (other than a Tax on the overall net income of any Lender) imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or within the United States of America or any political subdivision in or of the United States of America or any other jurisdiction from or to which a payment is made by or on behalf of any Credit Party or by any federation or organization of which the United States of America or any such jurisdiction is a member at the time of payment.

(b) Withholding of Taxes. If any Credit Party or any other Person is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any such Tax from any sum paid or payable by any Credit Party to Administrative Agent or any Lender (which term shall include Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.21(b)) under any of the Credit Documents: (i) Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent (with a copy to Collateral Agent) of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as Borrower becomes aware of it; (ii) Borrower shall pay any such Tax before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on any Credit Party) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be) on behalf of and in the name of Administrative Agent or such Lender; (iii) the sum payable by such Credit Party in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction, withholding or payment, Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction, withholding or payment been required or made; and (iv) within thirty days after paying any sum from which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding, and within thirty days after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is required by clause (ii) above to pay, Borrower shall deliver to

Administrative Agent (with a copy to Collateral Agent) evidence satisfactory to the other affected parties of such deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other authority; provided, no such additional amount shall be required to be paid to any Lender under clause (iii) above except to the extent that any change after the date hereof (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or after the effective date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which such Lender became a Lender (in the case of each other Lender) in any such requirement for a deduction, withholding or payment as is mentioned therein shall result in an increase in the rate of such deduction, withholding or payment from that in effect at the date hereof or at the date of such Assignment Agreement, as the case may be, in respect of payments to such Lender.

(c) Evidence of Exemption From U.S. Withholding Tax. Each Lender that is not a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “Non-US Lender”) shall deliver to Administrative Agent (with a copy to Collateral Agent) for transmission to Borrower, on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or on or prior to the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of Borrower or Administrative Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (i) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or any successor forms), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Borrower to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of the Credit Documents, or (ii) if such Lender is not a “bank” or other Person described in Section 881(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI pursuant to clause (i) above, a Certificate re Non-Bank Status together with two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Borrower to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of interest payable under any of the Credit Documents. Each Lender that is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) for United States federal income tax purposes (a “U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to Administrative Agent (with a copy to Collateral Agent) and Borrower on or prior to the Closing Date (or, if later, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement) two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, certifying that such U.S. Lender is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax, or otherwise prove that it is entitled to such an exemption. Each Lender required to deliver any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters pursuant to this Section 2.21(c) hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of such forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall promptly deliver to Administrative Agent (with a copy to Collateral Agent) for transmission to Borrower two new original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI , or a Certificate re

Non-Bank Status and two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor form), as the case may be, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Internal Revenue Code and reasonably requested by Borrower to confirm or establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to payments to such Lender under the Credit Documents, or notify Administrative Agent (with a copy to Collateral Agent) and Borrower of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence. Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any Non-US Lender under Section 2.21(b)(iii) if such Lender shall have failed (1) to deliver the forms, certificates or other evidence referred to in the second sentence of this Section 2.21(c), or (2) to notify Administrative Agent (with a copy to Collateral Agent) and Borrower of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence, as the case may be; provided, if such Lender shall have satisfied the requirements of the first sentence of this Section 2.21(c) on the Closing Date or on the date of the Assignment Agreement pursuant to which it became a Lender, as applicable, nothing in this last sentence of Section 2.21(c) shall relieve Borrower of its obligation to pay any additional amounts pursuant this Section 2.21 in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender is not subject to withholding as described herein.

2.22. Obligation to Mitigate. Each Lender (which term shall include Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.22) agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering its Loans or Letters of Credit, as the case may be, becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause such Lender to become an Affected Lender or that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under Section 2.19, 2.20 or 2.21, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to (a) make, issue, fund or maintain its Credit Extensions, including any Affected Loans, through another office of such Lender, or (b) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an Affected Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.19, 2.20 or 2.21 would be materially reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Revolving Commitments, Loans or Letters of Credit through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Revolving Commitments, Loans or Letters of Credit or the interests of such Lender; provided, such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other office pursuant to this Section 2.22 unless Borrower agrees to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other office as described above. A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.22 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Lender to Borrower (with a copy to Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

2.23. Defaulting Lenders. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any Lender, other than at the direction or request of any regulatory agency or authority, defaults (a “Defaulting Lender”) in its obligation to fund (a

“Funding Default”) any Revolving Loan or its portion of any unreimbursed payment, or to make a Synthetic LC Deposit, including under Sections 2.3(b)(iv), 2.4 or 2.5 (in each case, a “Defaulted Loan”), then (a) during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” for purposes of voting on any matters (including the granting of any consents or waivers) with respect to any of the Credit Documents; (b) to the extent permitted by applicable law, until such time as the Default Excess with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced to zero, (i) any voluntary prepayment of the Revolving Loans shall, if Borrower so directs at the time of making such voluntary prepayment, be applied to the Revolving Loans of other Lenders as if such Defaulting Lender had no Revolving Loans outstanding and the Revolving Exposure of such Defaulting Lender were zero, and (ii) any mandatory prepayment of the Revolving Loans shall, if Borrower so directs at the time of making such mandatory prepayment, be applied to the Revolving Loans of other Lenders (but not to the Revolving Loans of such Defaulting Lender) as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Loans of such Defaulting Lender, it being understood and agreed that Borrower shall be entitled to retain any portion of any mandatory prepayment of the Revolving Loans that is not paid to such Defaulting Lender solely as a result of the operation of the provisions of this clause (b); (c) such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment and outstanding Revolving Loans and such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Usage shall be excluded for purposes of calculating the Revolving Commitment fee payable to Lenders in respect of any day during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, and such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Revolving Commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.12 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment in respect of any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender; and (d) the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments and the aggregate Synthetic LC Exposure of all Lenders as at any date of determination shall be calculated as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Loans of such Defaulting Lender. No Revolving Commitment or Synthetic LC Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.23, performance by Borrower of its obligations hereunder and the other Credit Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of any Funding Default or the operation of this Section 2.23. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.23 are in addition to other rights and remedies which Borrower may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default and which Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default.

2.24. Removal or Replacement of a Lender. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that: (a) (i) any Lender (an “Increased-Cost Lender”) shall give notice to Borrower that such Lender is an Affected Lender or that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under Section 2.19, 2.20 or 2.21, (ii) the circumstances which have caused such Lender to be an Affected Lender or which entitle such Lender to receive such payments shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Lender shall fail to withdraw such notice within five Business Days after Borrower’s request for such withdrawal; or (b) (i) any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender, (ii) the Default Period for such Defaulting Lender shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Defaulting Lender shall fail to cure the default as a result of which it has become a Defaulting Lender within five Business Days after Borrower’s request that it cure such default; or (c) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 10.5(b), the

consent of Requisite Lenders shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required shall not have been obtained; then, with respect to each such Increased-Cost Lender, Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender (the “Terminated Lender”), Borrower may, by giving written notice to Administrative Agent (with a copy to Collateral Agent) and any Terminated Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Loans, its Revolving Commitments and its Synthetic LC Commitments and Synthetic LC Deposit, if any, in full to one or more Eligible Assignees (each a “Replacement Lender”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 and Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid the fees, if any, payable thereunder in connection with any such assignment from an Increased Cost Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender and the Defaulting Lender shall pay the fees, if any, payable thereunder in connection with any such assignment from such Defaulting Lender; provided, (1) on the date of such assignment, the Replacement Lender shall pay to Terminated Lender an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Terminated Lender, (B) an amount equal to the Synthetic LC Deposit of such Terminated Lender, together with all accrued Synthetic LC Deposit Return thereon, (C) an amount equal to all unreimbursed Synthetic LC Disbursements that have been funded by such Terminated Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (D) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.12 and all other amounts owing to such Terminated Lender pursuant to any other provision of any Credit Document; (2) on the date of such assignment, Borrower shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.19(c), 2.20 or 2.21; or otherwise as if it were a prepayment and (3) in the event such Terminated Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Terminated Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender; provided, Borrower may not make such election with respect to any Terminated Lender that is also an Issuing Bank unless, prior to the effectiveness of such election, Borrower shall have caused each outstanding Letter of Credit issued thereby to be cancelled. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender and the termination of such Terminated Lender’s Revolving Commitments and Synthetic LC Commitments, if any, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such Terminated Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Terminated Lender.

4.6. Binding Obligation. Each Credit Document has been duly executed and delivered by each Credit Party that is a party thereto and is the legally valid and binding obligation of such Credit Party, enforceable against such Credit Party in accordance with its respective terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability.

Borrower, each of its Subsidiaries and each of their respective ERISA Affiliates are in compliance with all applicable provisions and requirements of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan, and have performed all their obligations under each Employee Benefit Plan , except, in each case, where the failure to comply or perform would not reasonably be expected to result in liabilities of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in excess of $15,000,000 in the aggregate or have Material Adverse Effect. Each Employee Benefit Plan which is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service indicating that such Employee Benefit Plan is so qualified and nothing has occurred subsequent to the issuance of such determination letter which would cause such Employee Benefit Plan to lose its qualified status. No liability to the PBGC (other than required premium payments), the Internal Revenue Service, any Employee Benefit Plan (other than routine contributions) or any trust established under Title IV of ERISA (other than routine contributions) has been or is expected to be incurred by Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates, which would, when taken together with all such liabilities, exceed $15,000,000 in the aggregate for the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or which would reasonably be expected to have Material Adverse Effect. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all such ERISA Events, would exceed $15,000,000 in the aggregate for the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or would reasonably be expected to have Material Adverse Effect. Except to the extent required under Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code or similar state laws and to the extent an employee became entitled to benefits prior to his or her termination of employment (e.g., severance, long term disability benefits, etc.), no Employee Benefit Plan provides health or welfare benefits (through the purchase of insurance or otherwise) for any retired or former employee of Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates. The present value of the aggregate benefit liabilities under each Pension Plan sponsored, maintained or contributed to by Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates (determined as of the end of the most recent plan year on the basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for funding purposes in the most recent actuarial valuation for

such Pension Plan), did not exceed the aggregate current value of the assets of such Pension Plan. As of the most recent valuation date for each Multiemployer Plan for which the actuarial report is available, the potential liability of Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their respective ERISA Affiliates for a complete withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan (within the meaning of Section 4203 of ERISA), when aggregated with such potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, based on information available pursuant to Section 4221(e) of ERISA is zero. Borrower, each of its Subsidiaries and each of their ERISA Affiliates have complied with the requirements of Section 515 of ERISA with respect to each Multiemployer Plan and are not in material “default” (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA) with respect to payments to a Multiemployer Plan.

4.21. Certain Fees. No broker’s or finder’s fee or commission will be payable with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents, except as payable to the Agents and the Lenders.

4.22. Solvency. The Credit Parties are and, upon the incurrence of any Obligation by any Credit Party on any date on which this representation and warranty is made, will be, Solvent.

4.23. Compliance with Statutes, etc. Each of Borrower and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all applicable statutes, regulations and orders of, and all applicable restrictions imposed by, all Governmental Authorities, in respect of the conduct of its business and the ownership of its property (including compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws with respect to any Real Estate Asset or governing its business and the requirements of any permits issued under such Environmental Laws with respect to any such Real Estate Asset or the operations of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries), except such non-compliance that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

4.24. Disclosure. No representation or warranty of any Credit Party contained in any Credit Document or in any other documents, certificates or written statements furnished to any Agent or Lender by or on behalf of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact (known to Borrower, in the case of any document not furnished by it) necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which the same were made, except for the possible adjustment to the Historical Financial Statements described in Schedule 4.7 hereto. Any projections and pro forma financial information contained in such materials are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by Lenders that such projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections may differ materially and adversely from the projected results. There are no facts known (or which should upon the reasonable exercise of diligence be known) to Borrower (other than matters of a general economic nature) that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and that have not been disclosed herein or in such other documents, certificates and statements furnished to Lenders for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby

4.25. Patriot Act. To the extent applicable, each Credit Party is in compliance, in all material respects, with the (i) Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, and each of the foreign assets control regulations of the Untied States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) and any other enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto, and (ii) Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA Patriot Act of 2001). No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

SECTION 5. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

Promptly upon any officer of Borrower obtaining knowledge (i) of any condition or event that constitutes a Default or an Event of Default or that notice has been given to Borrower with respect thereto; (ii) that any Person has given any notice to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or taken any other action with respect to any event or condition set forth in Section 8.1(b); or (iii) of the occurrence of any event or change that has caused or evidences, either in any case or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, a certificate of its Authorized Officer specifying the nature and period of existence of such condition, event or change, or specifying the notice given and action taken by any such Person and the nature of such claimed Event of Default, Default, default, event or condition, and what action Borrower has taken, is taking and proposes to take with respect thereto;

(o) Certification of Public Information. Concurrently with the delivery of any document or notice required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 5.1, Borrower shall indicate in writing whether such document or notice contains Nonpublic Information. Borrower and each Lender acknowledge that certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to Borrower, its Subsidiaries or their securities) and, if documents or notices required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 5.1 or otherwise are being distributed through IntraLinks/IntraAgency, SyndTrak or another relevant website or other information platform (the “Platform”), any document or notice that Borrower has indicated contains Nonpublic Information shall not be posted on that portion of the Platform designated for such public-side Lenders. If Borrower has not indicated whether a document or notice delivered pursuant to this Section 5.1 contains solely Nonpublic Information,

Administrative Agent reserves the right to post such document or notice solely on that portion of the Platform designated for Lenders who wish to receive material nonpublic information with respect to Borrower, its Subsidiaries and their securities;

(p) Loan to Value; Collateral Reporting. No less frequently than with the delivery of financial statements of Borrower and its Subsidiaries pursuant to Sections 5.1(a) and 5.1(b), Borrower shall provide to Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent (i) a certificate substantially similar in form and substance to the certificate attached hereto as Exhibit N (the “Loan to Value Ratio Certificate”) certifying as to the calculation of the correct Value as of the end of such period and setting forth the correct Loan to Value Ratio as of such date based on closing book values of Borrower and its Subsidiaries and (ii) a Collateral report with the reports identified on Exhibit O hereto (and, in the case of clause (i) above, at any time that the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments is greater than or equal to $50,000,000 for any five (5) Business Days in any calendar month, Borrower shall provide to Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent a Loan to Value Ratio Certificate certifying as to the calculation of the correct Value as of the end of such period and setting forth the correct Loan to Value Ratio as of such date within 25 days after the end of each such calendar month, which Value shall not be based on closing book values but shall be based on Borrower’s best estimates of data).

Documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(a), (b), (j), (k) or (n) (to the extent any such documents are included in materials otherwise filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission) may be delivered electronically and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date (i) on which Borrower posts such documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission; or (ii) on which such documents are posted on Borrower’s behalf on an Internet or intranet website, if any, to which each Lender, Issuing Bank, Synthetic LC Issuing Bank and each Administrative Agent have access (whether a commercial, third-party website or whether sponsored by the Administrative Agent); provided that: (i) Borrower shall deliver paper copies of such documents to either Administrative Agent or any Lender that requests Borrower to deliver such paper copies until a written request to cease delivering paper copies is given by such Administrative Agent or such Lender and (ii) Borrower shall notify each Administrative Agent and each Lender (by telecopier or electronic mail) of the posting of any such documents and provide to the Administrative Agent by electronic mail electronic versions (i.e., soft copies) of such documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in every instance the Borrower shall be required to provide paper copies of the Compliance Certificates required by Section 5.1(c) to the Administrative Agent. Except for such Compliance Certificates, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to request the delivery or to maintain copies of the documents referred to above, and in any event shall have no responsibility to monitor compliance by Borrower with any such request for delivery, and each Lender shall be solely responsible for requesting delivery to it or maintaining its copies of such documents.

5.2. Existence. Except as otherwise permitted under Section 6.8, each Credit Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence and all rights and franchises, licenses and permits material to its business; provided, no Credit Party (other than Borrower with respect to existence) or any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to preserve any such existence, right or franchise, licenses and permits if the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.3. Payment of Taxes and Claims. Each Credit Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, pay all Taxes imposed upon it or any of its properties or assets or in respect of any of its income, businesses or franchises before any penalty or fine accrues thereon, and all claims (including claims for labor, services, materials and supplies) for sums that have become due and payable and that by law have or may become a Lien upon any of its properties or assets, prior to the time when any penalty or fine shall be incurred with respect thereto; provided, no such Tax or claim need be paid if (i) such Tax or claim does not, together with all other Taxes then remaining unpaid, exceed $250,000 in the aggregate or (ii) it is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly instituted and diligently conducted, so long as (a) adequate reserve or other appropriate provision, as shall be required in conformity with GAAP shall have been made therefor, and (b) in the case of a Tax or claim which has or may become a Lien against any of the Collateral, such contest proceedings conclusively operate to stay the sale of any portion of the Collateral to satisfy such Tax or claim. No Credit Party will, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, file or consent to the filing of any consolidated income tax return with any Person (other than Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries).

5.4. Maintenance of Properties. Each Credit Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain or cause to be maintained in good repair, working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, all material properties used or useful in the business of Borrower and its Subsidiaries and from time to time will make or cause to be made all appropriate repairs, renewals and replacements thereof.

5.5. Insurance. Borrower will maintain or cause to be maintained, with financially sound and reputable insurers, such public liability insurance, third party property damage insurance, business interruption insurance and casualty insurance with respect to liabilities, losses or damage in respect of the assets, properties and businesses of Borrower and its Subsidiaries as may customarily be carried or maintained under similar circumstances by Persons of established reputation engaged in similar businesses, in each case in such amounts (giving effect to self-insurance), with such deductibles, covering such risks and otherwise on such terms and conditions as shall be customary for such Persons. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower will maintain or cause to be maintained (a) flood insurance with respect to each Flood Hazard Property that is located in a community that participates in the National Flood Insurance Program, in each case in compliance with any applicable regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and (b) replacement value casualty insurance on the Collateral under such policies of insurance, with such insurance companies, in such amounts, with such deductibles, and covering such risks as are at all times carried or maintained under similar circumstances by Persons of established reputation engaged in similar business (it being understood and agreed that Borrower’s hazard self-insurance program of $250,000 per store consistent with past prudent business practice and currently in effect as of the Closing Date is acceptable). Each such policy of insurance shall (i) name Collateral Agent, on behalf of Secured Parties, as an additional insured thereunder as its interests may appear, (ii) in the case of each casualty insurance policy, contain a loss payable clause or endorsement, satisfactory in form and substance to Collateral Agent, that names Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, as the loss payee thereunder and provide for at least thirty days’ prior written notice to Collateral Agent of any modification or cancellation of such policy.

5.6. Books and Records; Inspections. Each Credit Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep proper books of record and accounts in which full, true and correct entries in conformity in all material respects with GAAP shall be made of all dealings and transactions in relation to its business and activities. Each Credit Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, permit any authorized representatives designated by Collateral Agent, Administrative Agent or any Lender to visit and inspect any of the properties of any Credit Party and any of its respective Subsidiaries, to inspect, copy and take extracts from its and their financial and accounting records, and to discuss its and their affairs, finances and accounts with its and their officers and independent public accountants, all upon reasonable notice and at such reasonable times during normal business hours and as often as may reasonably be requested; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent may visit Borrower only once during any Fiscal Year at Borrower’s expense, and no Lender or Administrative Agent may visit the Borrower more than once per Fiscal Year and such visit shall be at the expense of such Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable.

5.7. Lenders Meetings. Borrower will, upon the request of Administrative Agent or Requisite Lenders, participate in a meeting of Administrative Agent and Lenders once during each Fiscal Year to be held at Borrower’s corporate offices (or at such other location as may be agreed to by Borrower and Administrative Agent) at such time as may be agreed to by Borrower and Administrative Agent.

5.8. Compliance with Laws. Each Credit Party will comply, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and all other Persons, if any, on or occupying any Facilities to comply, with the requirements of all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority (including all Environmental Laws), noncompliance with which could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

5.9. Environmental.

(a) Environmental Disclosure. Borrower will deliver to Administrative Agent and Lenders:

(i) as soon as practicable following receipt thereof, copies of all environmental audits, investigations, analyses and reports of any kind or character, whether prepared by personnel of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or by independent consultants, governmental authorities or any other Persons, with respect to significant environmental matters at any Facility or with respect to any material Environmental Claims;

(ii) promptly upon an officer of Borrower obtaining knowledge of the occurrence thereof, written notice describing in reasonable detail (1) any Release required to be reported to any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory agency under any applicable Environmental Laws, (2) any remedial action taken by Borrower or any other Person in response to (A) any Hazardous Materials Activities the existence of which has a reasonable possibility of resulting in one or more Environmental Claims having, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, or (B) any Environmental Claims that, individually or in the aggregate, have a

reasonable possibility of resulting in a Material Adverse Effect, and (3) Borrower’s discovery of any occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of any Facility that could cause such Facility or any part thereof to be subject to any material restrictions on the ownership, occupancy, transferability or use thereof under any Environmental Laws;

(iii) as soon as practicable following the sending or receipt thereof by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, a copy of any and all written communications with respect to (1) any Environmental Claims that, individually or in the aggregate, have a reasonable possibility of giving rise to a Material Adverse Effect, (2) any Release required to be reported to any federal, state or local governmental or regulatory agency, and (3) any request for information from any governmental agency that suggests such agency is investigating whether Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries may be potentially responsible for any Hazardous Materials Activity that, individually or in the aggregate, has a reasonable possibility of resulting in a Material Adverse Effect;

(iv) prompt written notice describing in reasonable detail (1) any proposed acquisition of stock, assets, or property by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to (A) expose Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to, or result in, Environmental Claims that could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect or (B) affect the ability of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to maintain in full force and effect all material Governmental Authorizations required under any Environmental Laws for their respective operations and (2) any proposed action to be taken by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to modify current operations in a manner that could reasonably be expected to subject Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to any additional material obligations or requirements under any Environmental Laws; and

5.10. Subsidiaries. In the event that any Person becomes a Domestic Subsidiary of Borrower (or Borrower elects to have Movie Gallery Canada become a Guarantor), Borrower shall (a) promptly cause such Domestic Subsidiary (or Movie Gallery Canada, as the case may be) to become a Guarantor hereunder and a Grantor under the Pledge and Security Agreement by executing and delivering to Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent a Counterpart

With respect to each such Subsidiary, Borrower shall promptly send to Administrative Agent written notice setting forth with respect to such Person (i) the date on which such Person became a Subsidiary of Borrower, and (ii) all of the data required to be set forth in Schedules 4.1 and 4.2 with respect to all Subsidiaries of Borrower; and such written notice shall be deemed to supplement Schedule 4.1 and 4.2 for all purposes hereof.

5.11. Additional Material Real Estate Assets. In the event that (i) any Credit Party acquires a Material Real Estate Asset, (ii) a Real Estate Asset owned or leased on the Closing Date becomes a Material Real Estate Asset or (iii) the Scheduled Sale-Leaseback Properties (or any of them) that constitutes a Material Real Estate Asset are not disposed of pursuant to a sale and leaseback transaction described in Section 6.10 which shall close on or before May 15, 2007, and, in each case, such interest has not otherwise been made subject to the Lien of the Collateral Documents in favor of Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, then such Credit Party shall promptly (and, in respect of the Scheduled Sale-Leaseback Properties, no later than June 15, 2007) take all such actions and execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such mortgages, documents, instruments, agreements, opinions and certificates similar to those described in Sections 3.1(g), 3.1(h) and 3.1(i) with respect to each such Material Real Estate Asset that Collateral Agent shall reasonably request to create in favor of Collateral Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties, a valid and, subject to any filing and/or recording referred to herein, perfected First Priority security interest in such Material Real Estate Assets.

5.12. Interest Rate Protection. No later than ninety (90) days following the Closing Date and at all times thereafter until the third anniversary of the Closing Date, Borrower shall obtain and cause to be maintained protection against fluctuations in interest rates pursuant to one or more Interest Rate Agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent and Syndication Agent, in order to ensure that no less than 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the total Indebtedness for borrowed money of Borrower and its

SECTION 7. GUARANTY

7.1. Guaranty of the Obligations. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.2, Guarantors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guaranty to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Beneficiaries the due and punctual payment in full of all Obligations when the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)) (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

7.2. Contribution by Guarantors. All Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves (collectively, the “Contributing Guarantors”), in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under this Guaranty such that its Aggregate Payments exceeds its Fair Share as of such date, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause each Contributing Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date. “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Contributing Guarantor to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Contributing Guarantors multiplied by (b) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors under this Guaranty in respect of the obligations Guaranteed. “Fair Share Contribution Amount” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render its obligations hereunder or thereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any comparable applicable provisions of state law; provided, solely for purposes of calculating the “Fair Share Contribution Amount” with respect to any Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this Section 7.2, any assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor. “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (1) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including in respect of this Section 7.2), minus (2) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor from the other Contributing Guarantors as contributions under this Section 7.2. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Guarantor. The

110

allocation among Contributing Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this Section 7.2 shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Contributing Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 7.2.

7.3. Payment by Guarantors. Subject to Section 7.2, Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Beneficiary may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of Borrower to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)), Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in Cash, to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of Beneficiaries, an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (including interest which, but for Borrower’s becoming the subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against Borrower for such interest in the related bankruptcy case) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to Beneficiaries as aforesaid.

7.4. Liability of Guarantors Absolute. Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

(a) this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectability. This Guaranty is a primary obligation of each Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety;

(b) Administrative Agent may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between Borrower and any Beneficiary with respect to the existence of such Event of Default;

(c) the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of Borrower and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the obligations of Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against Borrower or any of such other guarantors and whether or not Borrower is joined in any such action or actions;

(d) payment by any Guarantor of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge any Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which has not been paid. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Administrative Agent is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any Guarantor’s covenant to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release such Guarantor from its covenant to pay the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall not, except to the extent

111

satisfied by such Guarantor, limit, affect, modify or abridge any other Guarantor’s liability hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(e) any Beneficiary, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) request and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any other Guarantor) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of such Beneficiary in respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Beneficiary may have against any such security, in each case as such Beneficiary in its discretion may determine consistent herewith or the applicable Hedge Agreement and any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against Borrower or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Credit Documents or any Hedge Agreements; and

(f) this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Credit Documents or any Hedge Agreements, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to events of default) hereof, any of the other Credit Documents, any of the Hedge Agreements

112

or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Credit Document, such Hedge Agreement or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security; (iii) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (iv) the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to the other Credit Documents or any of the Hedge Agreements or from the proceeds of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as collateral for indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though any Beneficiary might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) any Beneficiary’s consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which Borrower may allege or assert against any Beneficiary in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (viii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

7.5. Waivers by Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of Beneficiaries: (a) any right to require any Beneficiary, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against Borrower, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from Borrower, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any Deposit Account or credit on the books of any Beneficiary in favor of Borrower or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Beneficiary whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of Borrower or any other Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of Borrower or any other Guarantor from any cause other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any Beneficiary’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts to bad faith; (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Beneficiary protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder, the Hedge Agreements or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to Borrower and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 7.4 and any right to consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof.

113

7.6. Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, etc. Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Revolving Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, each Guarantor hereby waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Borrower or any other Guarantor or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Borrower with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Beneficiary now has or may hereafter have against Borrower, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Beneficiary. In addition, until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Revolving Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations, including any such right of contribution as contemplated by Section 7.2. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against Borrower or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights any Beneficiary may have against Borrower, to all right, title and interest any Beneficiary may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right any Beneficiary may have against such other guarantor. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights at any time when all Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been finally and indefeasibly paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.

7.7. Subordination of Other Obligations. Any Indebtedness of Borrower or any Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor (the “Obligee Guarantor”) is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, and any such Indebtedness collected or received by the Obligee Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of the Obligee Guarantor under any other provision hereof.

7.8. Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Revolving Commitments and Synthetic LC Commitments shall have terminated and all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations.

114

7.9. Authority of Guarantors or Borrower. It is not necessary for any Beneficiary to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guarantor or Borrower or the officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them.

7.10. Financial Condition of Borrower. Any Credit Extension may be made to Borrower or continued from time to time, and any Hedge Agreements may be entered into from time to time, in each case without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of Borrower at the time of any such grant or continuation or at the time such Hedge Agreement is entered into, as the case may be. No Beneficiary shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of Borrower. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from Borrower on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of Borrower and its ability to perform its obligations under the Credit Documents and the Hedge Agreements, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of Borrower and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Beneficiary to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of Borrower now known or hereafter known by any Beneficiary.

7.11. Bankruptcy, etc. (a) So long as any Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent acting pursuant to the instructions of Requisite Lenders, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency case or proceeding of or against Borrower or any other Guarantor. The obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of Borrower or any other Guarantor or by any defense which Borrower or any other Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.

(b) Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding referred to in clause (a) above (or, if interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case or proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case or proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations because it is the intention of Guarantors and Beneficiaries that the Guaranteed Obligations which are guaranteed by Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve Borrower of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person to pay Administrative Agent, or allow the claim of Administrative Agent in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced.

(c) In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid by Borrower, the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are

115

rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from any Beneficiary as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes hereunder.

7.12. Discharge of Guaranty Upon Sale of Guarantor. If all of the Equity Interests of any Guarantor or any of its successors in interest hereunder shall be sold or otherwise disposed of (including by merger or consolidation) in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, the Guaranty of such Guarantor or such successor in interest, as the case may be, hereunder shall automatically be discharged and released without any further action by any Beneficiary or any other Person effective as of the time of such Asset Sale.

121

of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter, and no Agent shall have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to Lenders.

(b) Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement or an Assignment Agreement and funding its Term Loan, Synthetic LC Deposit and/or Revolving Loans on the Closing Date, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Credit Document and each other document required to be approved by any Agent, Requisite Lenders or Lenders, as applicable on the Closing Date.

If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided, in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof; and provided further, this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement described in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence.

Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall promptly transfer to such successor Administrative Agent all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents, whereupon such retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder.

122

become effective on the thirtieth day after such notice of resignation.

The Collateral Agent may resign in accordance with the terms of the Pledge and Security Agreement.

123

In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default each Lender is hereby authorized by each Credit Party at any time or from time to time subject to the consent of Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), without notice to any Credit Party or to any other Person (other than Administrative Agent), any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of any Credit Party to such Lender hereunder, the Letters of Credit, the Synthetic Letters of Credit and participations therein and under the other Credit Documents, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected hereto, the Letters of Credit, the Synthetic Letters of Credit and participations therein or with any other Credit Document, irrespective of whether or not (a) such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or (b) the principal of or the interest on the Loans or any amounts in respect of the Letters of Credit, the Synthetic Letters of Credit or any other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 2 and although such obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured.

10.5. Amendments and Waivers.

(a) Requisite Lenders’ Consent. Subject to the additional requirements of Sections 10.5(b) and 10.5(c), no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of the Credit Documents, or consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of the Requisite Lenders; provided that Administrative Agent may, with the consent of Borrower only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, so long as

(iv) amend, modify, terminate or waive any obligation of Lenders relating to (x) the Letters of Credit, including the purchase of participations in Letters of Credit as provided in Section 2.4(e) without the written consent of Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Issuing Bank, or (y) the Synthetic Letters of Credit, including the purchase of participations in Synthetic Letters of Credit as provided in Section 2.5(e) without the written consent of Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and Synthetic LC Issuing Bank;

Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 10.5 shall be binding upon each Lender at the time outstanding, each future Lender and, if signed by a Credit Party, on such Credit Party.

10.6. Successors and Assigns; Participations.

(a) Generally. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and assigns of Lenders. No Credit Party’s rights or obligations hereunder nor any interest therein may be assigned or delegated by any Credit Party without the prior written consent of all Lenders. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, Affiliates of each of the Agents and Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Register. Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the corresponding Commitments, Synthetic LC Deposits and Loans listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Commitment, Synthetic LC Deposit or Loan shall be effective, in each case, unless and until recorded in the Register following receipt of an Assignment Agreement effecting the assignment or transfer thereof, in each case, as provided in Section 10.6(d). Each assignment shall be recorded in the Register on the Business Day the Assignment Agreement is received by Administrative Agent, if received by 12:00 noon New York City time, and on the following Business Day if received after such time, prompt notice thereof shall be provided to Borrower and a copy of such Assignment Agreement shall be maintained, as applicable. The date of such recordation of a transfer shall be referred to herein

130

as the “Assignment Effective Date.” Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Commitments, Synthetic LC Deposits or Loans.

(c) Right to Assign. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, including all or a portion of its Commitment, Synthetic LC Deposit or Loans owing to it or other Obligations (provided, however, that pro rata assignments shall not be required and each assignment shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any applicable Loan and any related Commitments):

(i) to any Person meeting the criteria of clause (i) of the definition of the term of “Eligible Assignee” upon the giving of notice to Borrower and Administrative Agent; and

(ii) to any Person meeting the criteria of clause (ii) of the definition of the term of “Eligible Assignee” upon giving of notice to Borrower and Administrative Agent and, in the case of assignments of Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments to any such Person (except in the case of assignments made by or to GSCP), consented to by each of Borrower and Administrative Agent (such consent not to be (x) unreasonably withheld or delayed or, (y) in the case of Borrower, required at any time an Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing); provided, further each such assignment pursuant to this Section 10.6(c)(ii) shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than (A) $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by Borrower and Administrative Agent or as shall constitute the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans of the assigning Lender) with respect to the assignment of the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans, (B) $2,500,000 (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by Borrower and Administrative Agent or as shall constitute the aggregate amount of the Term Loans of the assigning Lender) with respect to the assignment of Term Loans and (C) $250,000 (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by Borrower and Administrative Agent or as shall constitute the aggregate amount of the Synthetic LC Commitment and Synthetic LC Deposits of the assigning Lender) with respect to the assignment of the Synthetic LC Commitment and Synthetic LC Deposits.

(d) Mechanics. Assignments and assumptions of Loans, Synthetic LC Deposits and Commitments shall only be effected by manual execution and delivery to Administrative Agent of an Assignment Agreement. Assignments shall be effective as of the Assignment Effective Date. In connection with all assignments there shall be delivered to Administrative Agent such forms, certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as the assignee under such Assignment Agreement may be required to deliver pursuant to Section 2.21(c).

(e) Representations and Warranties of Assignee. Each Lender, upon execution and delivery hereof or upon succeeding to an interest in the Commitments, Synthetic

131

LC Deposits, and Loans, as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the Closing Date or as of the Assignment Effective Date that (i) it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) it has experience and expertise in the making of or investing in commitments or loans such as the applicable Commitments, Synthetic LC Deposits or Loans, as the case may be; and (iii) it will make or invest in, as the case may be, its Commitments, Synthetic LC Deposits or Loans for its own account in the ordinary course and without a view to distribution of such Commitments, Synthetic LC Deposits or Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Section 10.6, the disposition of such Commitments, Synthetic LC Deposits or Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control).

(f) Effect of Assignment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 10.6, as of the Assignment Effective Date with respect to any Assignment Agreement (i) the assignee thereunder shall have the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder to the extent of its interest in the Loans, Synthetic LC Deposits and Commitments as reflected in the Register and shall thereafter be a party hereto and a “Lender” for all purposes hereof; (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to the assignee, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which survive the termination hereof under Section 10.8) and be released from its obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto on the Assignment Effective Date; provided, anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, (x) Issuing Bank shall continue to have all rights and obligations thereof with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank until the cancellation or expiration of such Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder, (y) Synthetic LC Issuing Bank shall continue to have all rights and obligations thereof with respect to any Synthetic Letters of Credit issued by such Synthetic LC Issuing Bank until the cancellation or expiration of such Synthetic Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder and (z) such assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of all indemnities hereunder as specified herein with respect to matters arising out of the prior involvement of such assigning Lender as a Lender hereunder); (iii) the Commitments shall be modified to reflect any Commitment of such assignee and any Commitment of such assigning Lender, if any; and (iv) if any such assignment occurs after the issuance of any Note hereunder, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its applicable Notes to Administrative Agent for cancellation, and thereupon Borrower shall issue and deliver new Notes, if so requested by the assignee and/or assigning Lender, to such assignee and/or to such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the new Revolving Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender.

(g) Synthetic LC Deposits. In connection with each assignment of a Synthetic LC Deposit, the Synthetic LC Deposit of the assigning Synthetic LC Lender shall not be released, but shall instead be purchased by the relevant assignee, and the amount of such Synthetic LC Deposit shall continue to be held in the Synthetic LC Deposit Account for application (to the extent not already applied) in accordance with Section 2.5 to satisfy such assignee’s obligations in respect of the Synthetic LC Usage. Each Synthetic LC Lender agrees that immediately prior to each such assignment (i) Administrative Agent shall establish a new Sub-Account in the name of the assignee, (ii) a corresponding portion of the amount held in the

132

Synthetic LC Deposit Account credited by Administrative Agent to the Sub-Account of the assigning Synthetic LC Lender shall be purchased by the assignee and shall be transferred from the assigning Synthetic LC Lender’s Sub-Account to the assignee’s Sub-Account and (iii) if after giving effect to such assignment the Synthetic LC Deposit of the assigning Synthetic LC Lender shall be zero, Administrative Agent shall close the Sub-Account of such assigning Synthetic LC Lender.

(h) Participations.

(i) Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell one or more participations to any Person (other than Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates) in all or any part of its Commitments, Loans or in any other Obligation.

(ii) The holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate of the Lender granting such participation, shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except with respect to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (A) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan, Note, Letter of Credit (unless such Letter of Credit is not extended beyond the Revolving Commitment Termination Date) or Synthetic Letter of Credit (unless such Synthetic Letter of Credit is not extended beyond the Synthetic LC Termination Date) in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (B) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (C) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Collateral Documents (except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Loans hereunder in which such participant is participating.

(iii) Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19(c), 2.20 and 2.21 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section; provided, (x) a participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.20 or 2.21 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such participant, unless the sale of the participation to such participant is made with Borrower’s prior written consent and (y) a participant that would be a Non-US Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.21 unless Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such participant and such participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply with Section 2.21 as though it were a Lender; provided further that, except as specifically set forth in clauses (x) and (y) of this sentence, nothing herein shall require any notice to Borrower or any other Person in connection with the sale of any

133

participation. To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.4 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18 as though it were a Lender.

(i) Certain Other Assignments and Participations. In addition to any other assignment or participation permitted pursuant to this Section 10.6:

(i) any Lender may assign and/or pledge all or any portion of its Loans, the other Obligations owed by or to such Lender, and its Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender including any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; and

(ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.6, any Lender may sell participations (or otherwise transfer its rights) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Credit Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Term Loans, Revolving Loans, Letters of Credit and Synthetic Letters of Credit) to one or more lenders or other Persons that provide financing to such Lender;

provided, that no Lender, as between Borrower and such Lender, shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment, pledge, participation or other transfer and provided further, that in no event shall the applicable Federal Reserve Bank, pledge, trustee, lender or other financing source described in the preceding clauses (i) or (ii) be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the assigning, selling or transferring Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder.

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

10.8. Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Credit Extension. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of each Credit Party set forth in Sections 2.19(c), 2.20, 2.21, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 and the agreements of Lenders set forth in Sections 2.18, 9.3(b) and 9.6 shall survive the payment of the Loans, the return of the Synthetic LC Deposits, the cancellation or expiration of the Letters of Credit and the Synthetic Letters of Credit, and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder, and the termination hereof.

10.9. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or

134

privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies given to each Agent and each Lender hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Credit Documents or any of the Hedge Agreements. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.

10.10. Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither any Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Credit Party makes a payment or payments to Administrative Agent or Lenders (or to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders), or any Agent or Lenders enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

10.11. Severability. In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

10.12. Obligations Several; Independent Nature of Lenders’ Rights. The obligations of Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Credit Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. The amounts payable at any time hereunder to each Lender shall be a separate and independent debt, and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights arising out hereof and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

10.13. Headings. Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

10.14. APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

135

10.15. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST ANY CREDIT PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING HERETO OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT, OR ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS, MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇. BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT, EACH CREDIT PARTY, FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, IRREVOCABLY (A) ACCEPTS GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS; (B) WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS; (C) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO THE APPLICABLE CREDIT PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS PROVIDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 10.1; (D) AGREES THAT SERVICE AS PROVIDED IN CLAUSE (C) ABOVE IS SUFFICIENT TO CONFER PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER THE APPLICABLE CREDIT PARTY IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND OTHERWISE CONSTITUTES EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT; AND (E) AGREES THAT AGENTS AND LENDERS RETAIN THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY CREDIT PARTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

10.16. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LOAN TRANSACTION OR THE LENDER/BORROWER RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN ITS RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH PARTY HERETO FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 10.16 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS HERETO OR ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR

136

TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOANS MADE HEREUNDER. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

10.17. Confidentiality. Each Agent, and each Lender (which term shall for the purposes of this Section 10.17 include Issuing Bank and Synthetic LC Issuing Bank) shall hold all non-public information regarding Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their businesses identified as such by Borrower and obtained by such Lender pursuant to the requirements hereof in accordance with such Lender’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of such nature, it being understood and agreed by Borrower that, in any event, each Agent and each Lender may make (i) disclosures of such information to Affiliates of such Lender or Agent and to their respective agents and advisors (and to other Persons authorized by a Lender or Agent to organize, present or disseminate such information in connection with disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this Section 10.17), (ii) disclosures of such information reasonably required by any bona fide or potential assignee, pledgee, transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated assignment, pledge, transfer or participation of any Loans or any participations therein or by any direct or indirect contractual counterparties (or the professional advisors thereto) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to Borrower and its obligations (provided, such assignees, pledgees, transferees, participants, counterparties and advisors are advised of and agree to be bound by either the provisions of this Section 10.17 or other provisions at least as restrictive as this Section 10.17), (iii) disclosure to any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Credit Parties received by it from any of the Agents or any Lender, and (iv) disclosures required or requested by any governmental agency or representative thereof or by the NAIC or pursuant to legal or judicial process; provided, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender and each Agent shall make reasonable efforts to notify Borrower of any request by any governmental agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of such Lender by such governmental agency) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information. In addition, each Agent and each Lender may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar services providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

10.18. Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this

137

Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Lenders and Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to Borrower.

10.19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

10.20. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by Borrower and Administrative Agent of written or telephonic notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof.

10.21. Patriot Act. Each Lender and Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

10.22. Electronic Execution of Assignments.
