     (c)  whether the Loans comprising such Borrowing are to be Base Rate Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans, and

     (d)  in the case of a Euro-Dollar Borrowing, the duration of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto, subject to the provisions of the definition of Interest Period.

          SECTION 2.03. Money Market Borrowings. (a) The Money Market Option. In addition to Committed Loans pursuant to Section 2.01, the Borrower may, as set forth in this Section, request the Banks from time to time during the Revolving Credit Period to make offers to make Money Market Loans to the Borrower. The Banks may, but shall have no obligation to, make such offers and the Borrower may, but shall have no obligation to, accept any such offers in the manner set forth in this Section.

          (b) Money Market Quote Request. When the Borrower wishes to request offers to make Money Market Loans under this Section, it shall transmit to the Agent by telex or facsimile transmission a Money Market Quote Request substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto so as to be received no later than 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on (x) the fourth Euro-Dollar Business Day prior to the date of Borrowing proposed therein, in the case of a LIBOR Auction or (y) the Domestic Business Day next preceding the date of Borrowing proposed therein, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction (or, in either case, such other time or

15

date as the Borrower and the Agent shall have mutually agreed upon and shall have notified to the Banks not later than the date of the Money Market Quote Request for the first LIBOR Auction or Absolute Rate Auction for which such change is to be effective) specifying:

The Borrower may request offers to make Money Market Loans for more than one Interest Period in a single Money Market Quote Request. No Money Market Quote Request shall be given within five Euro-Dollar Business Days (or following notice to each of the Banks, such other number of days as the Borrower and the Agent may agree upon) of any other Money Market Quote Request.

          (c) Invitation for Money Market Quotes. Promptly upon receipt of a Money Market Quote Request, the Agent shall send to the Banks by telex or facsimile transmission an Invitation for Money Market Quotes substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, which shall constitute an invitation by the Borrower to each Bank to submit Money Market Quotes offering to make the Money Market Loans to which such Money Market Quote Request relates in accordance with this Section.

          (d) Submission and Contents of Money Market Quotes. (i) Each Bank may submit a Money Market Quote containing an offer or offers to make Money Market Loans in response to any Invitation for Money Market Quotes. Each Money Market Quote must comply with the requirements of this subsection (d) and must be submitted to the Agent by telex or facsimile transmission at its offices specified in or pursuant to Section 9.01 not later than (x) 9:30 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Euro-Dollar Business Day prior to the proposed date of Borrowing, in the case of a LIBOR Auction, or (y) 9:30 A.M. (New York City time) on the proposed date of Borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction (or, in either case, such other time or date as the Borrower and the Agent shall have mutually agreed and shall have notified to the Banks not later than the date of the Money Market Quote Request for the first LIBOR Auction or Absolute Rate Auction for which such change is to be effective); provided that Money Market Quotes submitted by the Agent (or any Affiliate of the Agent) in the capacity of a Bank may be submitted, and may only be submitted, if the Agent or such Affiliate notifies the Borrower of the terms of the offer or offers contained therein

16

not later than (x) 9:15 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Euro-Dollar Business Day prior to the proposed date of Borrowing, in the case of a LIBOR Auction or (y) 9:15 A.M. (New York City time) on the proposed date of Borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction. Subject to Articles III and VI, any Money Market Quote so made shall be irrevocable except with the written consent of the Agent given on the instructions of the Borrower.

          (ii) Each Money Market Quote shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto and shall in any case specify:

A Money Market Quote may set forth up to five separate offers by the quoting Bank with respect to each Interest Period specified in the related Invitation for Money Market Quotes.

     (iii)  Any Money Market Quote shall be disregarded if it:

          (e) Notice to Borrower. The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of the terms (x) of any Money Market Quote submitted by a Bank that is in accordance with subsection (d) and

17

(y)  of any Money Market Quote that amends, modifies or is otherwise inconsistent with a previous Money Market Quote submitted by such Bank with respect to the same Money Market Quote Request. Any such subsequent Money Market Quote shall be disregarded by the Agent unless such subsequent Money Market Quote is submitted solely to correct a manifest error in such former Money Market Quote. The Agent’s notice to the Borrower shall specify (A) the aggregate principal amount of Money Market Loans for which offers have been received for each Interest Period specified in the related Money Market Quote Request, (B) the respective principal amounts and Money Market Margins or Money Market Absolute Rates, as the case may be, so offered (including the names of the Banks) and (C) if applicable, limitations on the aggregate principal amount of Money Market Loans for which offers in any single Money Market Quote for any Interest Period may be accepted.

            (f) Acceptance and Notice by Borrower. Not later than 10:30 A.M. (New York City time) on (x) the third Euro-Dollar Business Day prior to the proposed date of Borrowing, in the case of a LIBOR Auction or (y) the proposed date of Borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction (or, in either case, such other time or date as the Borrower and the Agent shall have mutually agreed upon and shall have notified to the Banks not later than the date of the Money Market Quote Request for the first LIBOR Auction or Absolute Rate Auction for which such change is to be effective), the Borrower shall notify the Agent of its acceptance or non-acceptance of the offers so notified to it pursuant to subsection (e). In the case of acceptance, such notice (a “Notice of Money Market Borrowing”) shall specify the aggregate principal amount of offers for each Interest Period that are accepted. The Borrower may accept any Money Market Quote for any Interest Period in whole or in part; provided that:

            (g) Allocation by Agent. If offers are made by two or more Banks with the same Money Market Margins or Money Market Absolute Rates, as the case may be, for a greater aggregate principal amount than the amount in respect of which such offers are accepted for the related Interest Period, the principal amount of Money Market Loans in respect of which such offers are accepted shall be allocated by the Agent among such Banks as nearly as possible (in multiples of such number, not greater than

18

$1,000,000 as the Agent may deem appropriate) in proportion to the aggregate principal amounts of such offers. Determinations by the Agent of the pro rata amounts of Money Market Loans shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

          SECTION 2.04. Notice to Banks; Funding of Loans. (a) Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and of such Bank’s share (if any) of such Borrowing and such Notice of Borrowing shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower.

          (b) Not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date of each Borrowing, each Bank participating therein shall make available its share of such Borrowing, in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City, to the Agent at its address specified in or pursuant to Section 9.01. Unless the Agent determines that any applicable condition specified in Article III has not been satisfied, the Agent will make the funds so received from the Banks available to the Borrower at the Agent’s aforesaid address; provided that Base Rate Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.17(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank.

          (c) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Bank prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Bank will not make available to the Agent such Bank’s share of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Bank has made such share available to the Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section 2.04 and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Bank shall not have so made such share available to the Agent, such Bank and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the higher of the Federal Funds Rate and the interest rate applicable thereto pursuant to Section 2.09 and (ii) in the case of such Bank, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Bank shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank’s Loan included in such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

          SECTION 2.05. Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Bank shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Bank resulting from each Loan made by such Bank, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Bank from time to time hereunder.

          (b) The Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the Commitment of each Bank and the amount of each Loan made hereunder by such Bank, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Bank hereunder and (iii) the

19

amount of any sum received by the Agent hereunder for the accounts of the Banks and each Bank’s share thereof.

          (c) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.05 shall be evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein and shall be presumptively correct absent demonstrable error; provided that the failure of the Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

          (d) Any Bank may request in writing that Loans made by it be evidenced by a Note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Bank a Note payable to the order of such Bank in the form of Exhibit A. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.05) be represented by one or more Notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein.

          (e) Each Bank agrees that it will cancel and return to the Borrower all Notes then held by it upon the earlier of (i) the Termination Date; provided that no Default shall have then occurred and be continuing or (ii) the date such Bank’s Commitment has been terminated and there are no Loans outstanding to or accrued interest owing to such Bank.

          SECTION 2.06. Maturity of Loans. (a) The Committed Loans of each Bank shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon, on the Termination Date.

          (b) Each Money Market Loan shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Money Market Loan.

          SECTION 2.07. Termination or Reduction of Commitments. (a) The Commitments of each Bank shall terminate on the Termination Date.

          (b) During the Revolving Credit Period the Borrower may, upon at least three Domestic Business Days’ notice to the Agent, terminate the Commitments at any time, if no Loans are outstanding at such time and there is no LC Exposure at such time.

          (c) During the Revolving Credit Period the Borrower may, upon at least three Domestic Business Days’ notice to the Agent, ratably reduce the Commitments from time to time by an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000, but only to the extent that the aggregate amount of the Commitments exceeds the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans plus the LC Exposure.

          SECTION 2.08. Increase in Commitments. (a) During the Revolving Credit Period, the Borrower may, by written notice

20

to the Agent (which shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Banks), request at any time or from time to time that the total Commitments be increased; provided that (i) the aggregate amount of all such increases pursuant to this Section shall not exceed $125,000,000, (ii) the Borrower shall offer each Bank the opportunity to increase its Commitment by its Applicable Percentage of the proposed increased amount, and (iii) each Bank, in its sole discretion, may either (A) agree to increase its Commitment by all or a portion of the offered amount or (B) decline to increase its Commitment. Any such notice shall set forth the amount of the requested increase in the total Commitments and the date on which such increase is requested to become effective. In the event that the Banks shall have agreed to increase their Commitments by an aggregate amount less than the increase in the total Commitments requested by the Borrower, the Borrower may arrange for one or more banks or other financial institutions (any such bank or other financial institution being called an “Augmenting Bank”), which may include any Bank, to extend Commitments or increase its existing Commitments in an aggregate amount equal to the unsubscribed amount; provided that (i) each Augmenting Bank, if not already a Bank hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of the Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) and (ii) each Augmenting Bank, if not already a Bank hereunder, shall become a party to this Agreement by completing and delivering to the Agent a duly executed accession agreement in a form satisfactory to the Agent and the Borrower. Increases and new Commitments created pursuant to this paragraph (a) shall become effective on the date specified in the notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no increase in the total Commitments (or in the Commitment of any Bank) shall become effective under this paragraph unless, (i) on the date of such increase, the conditions set forth in clauses (b) and (d) of Section 3.02 shall be satisfied (as though a Borrowing were being made on such date) and the Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated such date and executed by a Responsible Financial Officer of the Borrower, and (ii) the Agent shall have received (to the extent requested by the Agent reasonably in advance of such date) documents consistent with those delivered under clauses (c) and (d) of Section 3.01 as to the corporate power and authority of the Borrower to borrow hereunder and as to the enforceability of this Agreement after giving effect to such increase.

          (b) At the time that any increase in the total Commitments pursuant to paragraph (a) above (a “Commitment Increase”) becomes effective, if any Committed Loans are outstanding, the Borrower shall prepay in accordance with Section 2.12 the aggregate principal amount of all Committed Loans outstanding (the “Initial Loans”); provided that (i) nothing in this Section shall prevent the Borrower from funding the prepayment of Initial Loans with concurrent Borrowings hereunder in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, giving effect to the Commitment Increase, and (ii) no such prepayment shall be required if, after giving effect to the Commitment Increase, each Bank has the same Applicable Percentage as immediately prior to such Commitment Increase.

21

          (c) At the time that any Commitment Increase becomes effective, if any Letters of Credit issued hereunder remain outstanding, each Bank’s participation in such Letters of Credit will be adjusted in accordance with such Bank’s Applicable Percentage, after giving effect to such Commitment Increase.

          SECTION 2.09. Interest Rates. (a) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Loan is made until it becomes due, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate Margin plus the Base Rate for such day. Such interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on the earlier of (i) the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto or (ii) the Termination Date. Any overdue principal of and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest on any Base Rate Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the Base Rate Margin plus the Base Rate for such day.

          The “Base Rate Margin” applicable to any Base Rate Loan outstanding on any day means:

          (b) Each Euro-Dollar Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Euro-Dollar Margin plus the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate. Such interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on the earlier of (i) the last day thereof, (ii) three months after the initial date thereof and, if such Interest Period is longer than three months, at intervals of three months thereafter or (iii) the Termination Date.

          “Euro-Dollar Margin” applicable to any Euro-Dollar Loan outstanding on any day, (A) if Usage on such day is less than or equal to 33%:

22

          (B) if Usage on such day is greater than 33%:

          The “London Interbank Offered Rate” applicable to any Interest Period means the rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/32 of 1%) appearing on the Moneyline Telerate Screen page 3750 (or any successor page) as the London interbank offered rate for deposits in U.S. dollars at 11:00 A.M. (London time) two Euro-Dollar Business Days before the first day of such Interest Period for a period equal to such Interest Period; provided that, if for any reason such rate is not available, the term “London Interbank Offered Rate” applicable to any Interest Period shall mean the rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/32 of 1%) appearing on Reuters Screen LIBO Page (or any successor page) as the London interbank offered rate for deposits in U.S. dollars at approximately 11:00 A.M. (London time) two Euro-Dollar Business Days before the first day of such Interest Period for a period equal to such Interest Period; provided, however, if more than one rate is specified on Reuters Screen LIBO Page (or any successor page), the applicable rate shall be the arithmetic mean of all such rates.

          (c) Any overdue principal of and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest on any Euro-Dollar Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day from and including the date payment thereof was due to but excluding the date of actual payment, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus

23

the Euro-Dollar Margin plus the higher of (i) the London Interbank Offered Rate applicable to such Loan and (ii) the average (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of 1%) of the respective rates per annum at which one day (or, if such amount due remains unpaid more than three Euro-Dollar Business Days, then for such other period of time not longer than three months as the Agent may select) deposits in dollars in an amount approximately equal to such overdue payment due to the Agent are offered to the Agent in the London interbank market for the applicable period determined as provided above (or, if the circumstances described in Section 8.01 shall exist, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the Base Rate Margin plus the Base Rate for such day).

          (d) Subject to clause (y) of Section 8.01, each Money Market LIBOR Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the London Interbank Offered Rate for such Interest Period plus (or minus) the Money Market Margin quoted by the Bank making such Loan in accordance with Section 2.03. Each Money Market Absolute Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the Money Market Absolute Rate quoted by the Bank making such Loan in accordance with Section 2.03. Such interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on the earlier of (i) the last day thereof, (ii) three months after the initial date thereof and, if such Interest Period is longer than three months, at intervals of three months thereafter or (iii) the Termination Date. Any overdue principal of and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest on any Money Market Loan shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum of 2% plus the Base Rate Margin plus the Base Rate for such day.

          (e) The Agent shall determine (in accordance with this Agreement) each interest rate applicable to the Loans hereunder. The Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower by telecopy and the participating Banks by telex, cable or telecopy of each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

          SECTION 2.10. Fees. (a) Facility Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Banks, ratably in proportion to their Commitments (or, if the Commitments have terminated, ratably in proportion to their outstanding Loans and LC Exposure), a facility fee at the rate of (i) 0.125% per annum during each Level I Period, (ii) 0.150% per annum during each Level II Period, (iii) 0.175% per annum during each Level III Period, (iv) 0.225% per annum during each Level IV Period, (v) 0.275% per annum during each Level V Period, (vi) 0.375% during each Level VI Period and (vii) 0.500% during each Level VII Period. Such facility fee shall accrue (i) from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the last day of the Revolving Credit Period, in each case, on the daily average aggregate amount of the Commitments (whether used or unused) and (ii) if any Loans or LC Exposure remains outstanding after the Revolving Credit Period, from and including the last day of the

24

Revolving Credit Period to but excluding the date such Loans shall be repaid in full, on the daily average aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Loans and LC Exposure.

          (b) Letter of Credit and Fronting Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank a letter of credit fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the Euro-Dollar Margin used to determine the interest rate applicable to Euro-Dollar Loans on the average daily amount of such Bank’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Bank’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Bank ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate or rates per annum separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Issuing Bank on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as the Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder.

          (c) Payment. Except as otherwise indicated, accrued facility fees, letter of credit fees and fronting fees under this Section 2.10 shall be payable quarterly in arrears on (i) each Quarterly Date, (ii) the Termination Date and (iii) if any Loans or LC Exposure remains outstanding after the Revolving Credit Period, the date such Loans shall be repaid in full and such LC Exposure ceases to exist. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section shall be payable within 10 days after demand.

          SECTION 2.11. Method of Electing Interest Rates. (a) The Loans included in each Committed Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of rate specified by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Committed Borrowing. Thereafter, the Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by each Group of Loans (subject in each case to the provisions of Article VIII), as follows:

25

provided that, if the Borrower elects to convert any Euro-Dollar Loans to Base Rate Loans or to Euro-Dollar Loans with a different Interest Period, as of any day other than the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Loans, the Borrower shall reimburse each Bank in accordance with Section 2.14.

          Each such election shall be made by delivering a notice (a “Notice of Interest Rate Election”) to the Agent (i) at least one Domestic Business Day before such notice is to be effective if the relevant Loans are to be converted into Base Rate Loans or (ii) at least three Euro-Dollar Business Days before such conversion or continuation is to be effective if such Loans are to be converted into, or continued as, Euro-Dollar Loans.

          A Notice of Interest Rate Election may, if it so specifies, apply to only a portion of the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Group of Loans; provided that (i) such portion is allocated ratably among the Loans comprising such Group and (ii) the portion to which such Notice applies, and the remaining portion to which it does not apply, are each $15,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000.

          (b) Each Notice of Interest Rate Election shall specify:

Each Interest Period specified in a Notice of Interest Rate Election shall comply with the provisions of the definition of Interest Period.

          (c) Upon receipt of a Notice of Interest Rate Election from the Borrower pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Notice of Interest Rate Election to the Agent for any Euro-Dollar Loans, such Loans shall be converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto.

26

          SECTION 2.12. Prepayments. (a) The Borrower may (i) upon notice to the Agent to be received no later than 10:30 A.M. (New York City time), prepay the Base Rate Loans (or any Money Market LIBOR Loans which bear interest at the Base Rate at such time for the reason stated in Section 8.01), in whole or in part, on any Domestic Business Day and (ii) upon at least two Euro-Dollar Business Days’ notice to the Agent, prepay any Euro-Dollar Loan, in whole or in part, in amounts aggregating $15,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment; provided that a Money Market Loan may not be prepaid without the prior written consent of the Bank that holds such Money Market Loan, other than as contemplated by clause (i) above. Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the relevant Loans of the several Banks. Prepayment of a Euro-Dollar Loan on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto shall be subject to Section 2.14.

          (b) Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.12, the Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and of such Bank’s ratable share (if any) of such prepayment and such notice shall not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower.

          SECTION 2.13. General Provisions as to Payments. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment of principal of, and interest on, the Loans, fees and reimbursements of LC Disbursements hereunder, not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date when due, in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City, to the Agent at its address referred to in its Administrative Questionnaire (or to the Issuing Bank, in the case of payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein). The Agent will promptly distribute to each Bank its ratable share of each such payment received by the Agent for the account of the Banks, or to the Issuing Bank in the case of payments for its account. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, any Base Rate Loans or fees shall be due on a day which is not a Domestic Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Domestic Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Euro-Dollar Loans and Money Market LIBOR Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Euro-Dollar Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Euro-Dollar Business Day unless such Euro-Dollar Business Day falls in another calendar month or falls after the Termination Date, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding Euro-Dollar Business Day. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Money Market Absolute Rate Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Euro-Dollar Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Euro-Dollar Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.

          (b) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the

27

Banks or the Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Bank or the Issuing Bank. If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have so made such payment, each Bank or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Bank or the Issuing Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank or the Issuing Bank until the date such Bank or the Issuing Bank repays such amount to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

          SECTION 2.14. Funding Losses. If the Borrower makes any payment of principal with respect to any Fixed Rate Loan or any Fixed Rate Loan is converted to a Base Rate Loan (pursuant to Section 2.11, Section 2.12, Article VI or Article VIII) on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto or the end of an applicable period fixed pursuant to Section 2.09(d), or if any Bank assigns any Fixed Rate Loan as required by Section 8.06 on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, or if the Borrower fails to borrow or prepay any Fixed Rate Loan after notice has been given to any Bank in accordance with Section 2.04(a) or Section 2.12, the Borrower shall reimburse each Bank within 15 days after demand for any resulting loss or expense incurred by it (or by an existing or prospective Participant in the related Loan), including (without limitation) any loss reasonably incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, but excluding loss of margin for the period after such payment or conversion or assignment or failure to borrow or prepay; provided that such Bank shall have delivered to the Borrower a certificate as to the amount of such loss or expense with an explanation of the calculation of such loss or expense, which certificate shall be conclusive if made reasonably and in good faith.

          SECTION 2.15. Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest based on the Prime Rate hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All other interest, facility fees, letter of credit fees and fronting fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

          SECTION 2.16. Regulation D Compensation. For each day for which a Bank is required to maintain reserves in respect of either (x) “Eurocurrency Liabilities” (as defined in all regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) or (y) any other category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate in Euro-Dollar Loans is determined or any category of extensions of credit or other assets which includes loans by a non-United States office of any Bank to United States residents, such Bank may require the Borrower to pay, contemporaneously with each payment of interest

on the Euro-Dollar Loans, additional interest on the related Euro-Dollar Loan of such Bank at a rate per annum determined by such Bank up to but not exceeding the excess of (i) (A) the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate divided by (B) one minus the Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage over (ii) the applicable London Interbank Offered Rate. Any Bank wishing to require payment of such additional interest (x) shall so notify the Borrower and the Agent, in which case such additional interest on the Euro-Dollar Loans of such Bank shall be payable to such Bank at the place indicated in such notice with respect to each Interest Period commencing at least five Euro-Dollar Business Days after the giving of such notice and (y) shall notify the Borrower at least five Euro-Dollar Business Days prior to each date on which interest is payable on the Euro-Dollar Loans of the amount then due to such Bank under this Section. Such Bank’s notice to the Borrower shall set forth its calculation of such additional interest and such calculation shall be conclusive if made reasonably and in good faith.

          SECTION 2.17. Letters of Credit. (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Credit Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) Letters of Credit may be issued to support obligations of Subsidiaries of the Borrower as well as the Borrower, (ii) Letters of Credit issued to support obligations of a Subsidiary may state that they are issued for such Subsidiary’s account and (iii) regardless of any such statement in any Letter of Credit, the Borrower is the “account party” in respect of all Letters of Credit and will be responsible for reimbursement of LC Disbursements as provided herein.

          (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Domestic Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Borrower also

29

shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $50,000,000 and (ii) the sum of the total LC Exposure plus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments.

          (c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Domestic Business Days prior to the Termination Date.

          (d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Banks, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Bank, and each Bank hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Bank’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Bank hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, such Bank’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each Bank acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

          (e) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on (i) the Domestic Business Day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Domestic Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided

30

that the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.02 that such payment be financed with a Base Rate Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Base Rate Borrowing. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Bank of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Bank’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.04 with respect to Loans made by such Bank (and Section 2.04 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Banks), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Banks. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Banks have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Banks and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Bank pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of Base Rate Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

          (f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Banks nor the Issuing Bank (nor any of their Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors, or their Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors), shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence

31

arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or wilful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

          (g) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Banks with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

          (h) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Base Rate Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then the last sentence of the first paragraph of Section 2.09(a) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Bank pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Bank to the extent of such payment.

          (i) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Domestic Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Banks that the Required Banks are demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Banks, an

32

amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (g) or (h) of Article VI. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of the Required Banks), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Domestic Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

          SECTION 5.08. Compliance with Laws.

          SECTION 7.05. Liability of Agent. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, or employees shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in connection herewith (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Banks or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this Agreement or any Borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of the Borrower; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article III, except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Agent; or (iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection herewith.

          SECTION 7.06. Indemnification. Each Bank shall, ratably in accordance with its Commitment (or outstanding Loans and LC Exposure, if the Commitments have terminated), indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) that the Agent may suffer or incur in connection with this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Agent hereunder.

          SECTION 7.07. Credit Decision.

Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such

45

successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder.

ARTICLE VIII

Change in Circumstances

          SECTION 8.01. Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Euro-Dollar Loan or Money Market LIBOR Loan the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that deposits in dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not generally available in the London interbank market for such period or that the London Interbank Offered Rate cannot be determined in accordance with the definition thereof, the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Banks, whereupon until the Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Banks to make Euro-Dollar Loans, to convert outstanding Base Rate Loans into Euro-Dollar Loans or to convert outstanding Euro-Dollar Loans into Euro-Dollar Loans with a different Interest Period shall be suspended, (ii) each outstanding Euro-Dollar Loan or Money Market LIBOR Loan, as the case may be, shall be converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, and (iii) unless the Borrower notifies the Agent at least two Domestic Business Days before the date of any Euro-Dollar Borrowing or Money Market LIBOR Borrowing, as the case may be, for which a Notice of Borrowing has previously been given that it elects not to borrow on such date, (x) if such Borrowing is a Euro-Dollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall instead be made as a Base Rate Borrowing and (y) if such Borrowing is a Money Market LIBOR Borrowing, the Money Market LIBOR Loans comprising such Borrowing shall bear interest for each day from and including the first day to but excluding the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto at the Base Rate for such day.

          SECTION 8.02. Illegality. If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change 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 Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Bank (or its Euro-Dollar

46

Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund its Euro-Dollar Loans and such Bank shall so notify the Agent, the Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the other Banks and the Borrower, whereupon until such Bank notifies the Borrower and the Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Bank to make Euro-Dollar Loans, or to convert outstanding Base Rate Loans into Euro-Dollar Loans, or to convert outstanding Euro-Dollar Loans into Euro-Dollar Loans with a different Interest Period shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the Agent pursuant to this Section 8.02, such Bank shall designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. If such notice is given, all Euro-Dollar Loans of such Bank then outstanding shall be converted to Base Rate Loans either (a) on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Euro-Dollar Loans if such Bank may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Loans to such day or (b) immediately if such Bank may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund such Loans to such day.

          SECTION 8.03. Increased Cost and Reduced Return. (a) If any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change 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 Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or the Issuing Bank with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency, made or adopted after the date hereof (other than a change currently provided for in any existing law, rule or regulation) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, insurance assessment or similar requirement (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, but excluding, with respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan, any such requirement with respect to which such Bank is entitled to compensation during the relevant Interest Period under Section 2.16) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or the Issuing Bank or shall impose on any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or the Issuing Bank or on the United States market for certificates of deposit or the London interbank market any other condition affecting its Fixed Rate Loans (other than Money Market Absolute Rate Loans), its Note (in respect of such Fixed Rate Loans), its obligation to make such Fixed Rate Loans or its participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or such Issuing Bank of making or maintaining any Fixed Rate Loan, participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or such Issuing Bank under this Agreement or under its Note with respect thereto, by an amount reasonably deemed by such Bank or such Issuing Bank to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Bank or such Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Agent), the Borrower shall

47

pay to such Bank or such Issuing Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank or such Issuing Bank for such increased cost or reduction.

          (b) If any Bank or the Issuing Bank shall have determined that any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any such law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency, made or adopted after the date hereof (other than a change currently provided for in any existing law, rule or regulation), has or would have the effect of increasing the amount of capital of such Bank or such Issuing Bank (or its parent) required to be maintained in respect of, or otherwise allocated to, such Bank or such Issuing Bank’s obligations hereunder (its “Required Capital”) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Bank or such Issuing Bank to be material, then such Bank or such Issuing Bank may, by notice to the Borrower and the Agent, increase the facility fee, letter of credit fee or fronting fee payable to such Bank or such Issuing Bank hereunder to the extent required so that the ratio of (w) the sum of the increased facility fee, letter of credit fee or fronting fee applicable to such Bank or such Issuing Bank’s Commitment or Loans hereunder to (x) the prior facility fee, letter of credit fee or fronting fee applicable to such Bank’s or such Issuing Bank’s Commitment or Loans or Letters of Credit (or participations therein) hereunder is the same as the ratio of (y) such Bank’s or such Issuing Bank’s increased Required Capital to (z) its prior Required Capital. Such Bank or such Issuing Bank’s notice to the Borrower and the Agent shall set forth its calculation of the foregoing ratios and the increased facility fee, letter of credit fee or fronting fee to which it is entitled under this Section.

          (c) Each Bank or the Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank or such Issuing Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section (each, a “Trigger Event”) and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such Bank or such Issuing Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank or such Issuing Bank. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, neither any Bank nor the Issuing Bank shall be entitled to any compensation pursuant to this Section in respect of any Trigger Event (i) for any period of time in excess of 120 days prior to such notice or (ii) for any period of time prior to such notice if such Bank or such Issuing Bank (as applicable) shall not have given such notice within 120 days of the date on which such Trigger Event shall have been enacted, promulgated, adopted or issued in definitive or final form unless such Trigger Event is retroactive. A certificate of any Bank or the Issuing Bank claiming compensation under Section 8.03(a) or (b) and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder

48

and describing the method of calculation thereof shall be conclusive if made reasonably and in good faith. In determining such amount, such Bank or such Issuing Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

          SECTION 8.04. Taxes. (a) For purposes of this Section 8.04, the following terms have the following meanings:

          “Taxes” means any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings with respect to any payment by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or under any Note, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (i) in the case of each Bank, the Issuing Bank and the Agent, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise or similar taxes imposed on it, by a jurisdiction under the laws of which such Bank, Issuing Bank or the Agent (as the case may be) is organized or in which its principal executive office is located or, in the case of each Bank, in which its Applicable Lending Office is located and (ii) in the case of each Bank, any United States withholding tax imposed on such payments but only to the extent that such Bank is subject to United States withholding tax at the time such Bank first becomes a party to this Agreement.

          “Other Taxes” means any present or future stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, or similar charges or levies, which arise from any payment made pursuant to this Agreement or under any Note or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Note.

          (b) Any and all payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Bank, the Issuing Bank or the Agent hereunder or under any Note shall be made without deduction for any Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that, if the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes or Other Taxes from any such payments, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 8.04) such Bank, such Issuing Bank or the Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) the Borrower shall furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.01, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

          (c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Bank, the Issuing Bank and the Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 8.04) paid by such Bank, such Issuing Bank or the Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses, except to the extent attributable to the negligence or misconduct of such Bank, such Issuing Bank or the Agent, as the case may be) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made

49

within 15 days from the date such Bank, such Issuing Bank or the Agent (as the case may be) makes demand therefor.

          (d) Each Bank organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Bank listed on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Bank in the case of each other Bank, shall provide the Borrower with (i) two Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) forms W8-BEN or any successor form prescribed by the IRS, certifying that such Bank is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which exempts such Bank from United States withholding tax or reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest and eliminates withholding tax on any fees, or (ii) two IRS forms W8-ECI certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States. If the form provided by a Bank indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from “Taxes” as defined in Section 8.04(a). Each such Bank undertakes to deliver to each of the Borrower and the Agent (A) a replacement form (or successor form) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form so delivered by it, and (B) such amendments thereto or extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be required (but only so long as such Bank remains lawfully able to do so).

          (e) For any period with respect to which a Bank has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form pursuant to Section 8.04(d) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Bank shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 8.04(b) or Section 8.04(c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that if a Bank, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, becomes subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Bank shall reasonably request to assist such Bank to recover such Taxes.

          (f) Each Bank will promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to make any claim for indemnification in respect of Taxes or Other Taxes pursuant to this Section 8.04 (each, a “Tax Event”) and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such claim or any other amounts payable by the Borrower under this Section 8.04 and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, no Bank shall be entitled to any indemnification pursuant to this Section in respect of any Tax Event (i) for any period of time in excess of 180 days prior to such notice or (ii) for any period of time prior to such notice if such Bank shall not have given such notice within 120 days of

50

the date on which such Bank became aware of such Tax Event unless such Tax Event is retroactive.

          SECTION 8.05. Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Euro-Dollar Loans. If (i) the obligation of any Bank to make or maintain Euro-Dollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or (ii) any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 8.03(a) and the Borrower shall, by at least five Euro-Dollar Business Days prior notice to such Bank through the Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section shall apply to such Bank, then, unless and until such Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer apply:

If such Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer apply, the Borrower shall elect that the principal amount of each such Base Rate Loan shall be converted into a Euro-Dollar Loan on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period applicable to the related Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Banks.

          SECTION 8.06. Substitution of Bank. If (i) the obligation of any Bank to make Euro-Dollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or (ii) any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 8.03 or 8.04, the Borrower shall have the right to seek a substitute bank or banks (“Substitute Banks”) (which may be one or more of the Banks) to purchase the Loans and assume the Commitment of such Bank (the “Affected Bank”) under this Agreement and, if the Borrower locates a Substitute Bank, the Affected Bank shall, upon payment to it of the purchase price agreed between it and the Substitute Bank (or, failing such agreement, a purchase price in the amount of the outstanding principal amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon to the date of payment) plus any amount (other than principal and interest) then due to it or accrued for its account hereunder, assign all its rights and obligations under this Agreement and all of its Notes to the Substitute Bank, and the Substitute Bank shall assume such rights and obligations, whereupon the Substitute Bank shall be a Bank party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Bank.

          SECTION 8.07. Election to Terminate. If during any Level I Period, Level II Period or Level III Period (i) the obligation of any Bank to make Euro-Dollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or (ii) any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 8.03 or 8.04, the Borrower may elect to terminate this Agreement as to such Bank, and in connection therewith not to borrow any Loan hereunder from such Bank or to

51

prepay any Base Rate Loan made pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.05 (without altering the Commitments or Loans of the remaining Banks); provided that the Borrower (i) notifies such Bank through the Agent of such election at least two Euro-Dollar Business Days before any date fixed for such borrowing or such a prepayment, as the case may be, and (ii) repays all of such Bank’s outstanding Loans, accrued interest thereon and any other amounts then due to such Bank or accrued for its account hereunder concurrently with such termination. Upon receipt by the Agent of such notice, the Commitment of such Bank shall terminate.

The Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

          SECTION 9.02. No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Agent or any Bank or the Issuing Bank in exercising any right,

52

power or privilege hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

          SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnification. (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent, including reasonable fees and disbursements of special counsel for the Agent, in connection with the preparation and administration of this Agreement, any waiver or consent hereunder or any amendment hereof or any Default or alleged Default hereunder, (ii) if an Event of Default occurs, all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent or any Bank or the Issuing Bank, including fees and disbursements of counsel, in connection with such Event of Default and collection and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom, and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder.

          (b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Bank and the Issuing Bank and hold each Bank and the Issuing Bank harmless from and against any and all liabilities, claims, losses, damages, costs and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, which may be incurred by any Bank or the Issuing Bank (or by the Agent in connection with its actions as Agent hereunder) in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not such Bank or such Issuing Bank shall be designated a party thereto) relating to or arising out of (i) any actual or proposed use of proceeds of Loans hereunder to acquire equity securities of any other Person, (ii) any transaction which violates the change in control provisions set forth in Section 6.01(i) or (iii) any actual or proposed use of any Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement (including any refusal by the Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit); provided that no Bank or Issuing Bank shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

          SECTION 9.04. Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement or the Notes may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Borrower and the Required Banks (and, if the rights or duties of the Agent are affected thereby, by the Agent); provided that no such amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by each Bank directly affected thereby, (i) increase or decrease the Commitment of any Bank or subject any Bank to any additional obligation, (ii) reduce or forgive the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan or LC Disbursement or any fees hereunder or (iii) postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan or LC Disbursement or any fees hereunder or for any reduction or termination of any Commitment; provided

53

further that no such amendment or waiver shall (i) unless signed by all the Banks, amend this Section or otherwise change the percentage of the Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans or LC Exposure, or the number of Banks, which shall be required for the Banks or any of them to take any action under this Section or any other provision of this Agreement; or (ii) amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Issuing Bank without the prior written consent of the Issuing Bank.

          SECTION 9.05. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Bank (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void), except as contemplated by Section 5.06. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit)) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

          (b) Any Bank may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Bank or an Affiliate of a Bank, each of the Borrower and the Agent must give their prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, it being understood that it shall be reasonable for the Borrower to withhold consent if the proposed assignee does not have an investment grade rating), (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Bank or an Affiliate of a Bank or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Bank’s Commitment (or, if the Commitments have terminated, the entire amount of its outstanding Loans and LC Exposure), the amount of the Commitment (or, if the Commitments have terminated, the amount of the outstanding Loans and LC Exposure) of the assigning Bank subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Agent otherwise consent, (iii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, except that this clause (iii) shall not apply to rights in respect of outstanding Money Market Loans, (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (except that such fee shall not be payable in the case of an assignment by a Bank to one of its Affiliates or to another Bank), and (v) the assignee, if it shall not be a Bank, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and provided further that any consent of the

54

Borrower otherwise required under this paragraph shall not be required if an Event of Default under clause (a), (b), (g) or (h) of Section 6.01 has occurred and is continuing. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Bank under this Agreement, and the assigning Bank thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 8.03, 8.05 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Bank of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Bank of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section.

          (c) The Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in The City of New York a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to and LC Exposure of, each Bank pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Banks may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and any Bank, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

          (d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Bank and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Bank hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

          (e) Any Bank may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Issuing Bank or the Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
