THE FACILITY

Section 2.1                                   The Commitments

On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, each Lender severally agrees to make a loan in Dollars (each a “Loan”) to the Borrower on the Closing Date in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed such Lender’s Commitment.  The Loans shall be funded by each Lender to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower on the Closing Date as set forth in Section 2.2(b) below in an amount equal to 99.0% of the stated principal amount of such Lender’s Loan.  Amounts of Loans repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

29

Section 2.2                                   Borrowing Procedures

(a)                                  The Borrowing shall be made on notice given by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) three Business Days prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing.  The notice shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit C (Form of Notice of Borrowing) (a “Notice of Borrowing”), specifying (A) the date of such proposed Borrowing and (B) the aggregate amount of such proposed Borrowing.

(b)                                 The Administrative Agent shall give to each Lender prompt notice of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the Notice of Borrowing with respect to the proposed Borrowing and the applicable interest rate determined pursuant to Section 2.14(a) (Determination of Interest Rate).  Each Lender shall, before 11:00 am. (New York time) on the date of the proposed Borrowing, make available to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 8.8 (Notices, Etc.), in immediately available funds, such Lender’s Ratable Portion of such proposed Borrowing.  Upon fulfillment (or due waiver in accordance with Section 8.1 (Amendments, Waivers, Etc.)) on the Closing Date, of the applicable conditions set forth Section 3.1 (Conditions Precedent to Loans) and after the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds, the Administrative Agent shall make such funds available to the Borrower.

(c)                                  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of the Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Ratable Portion of such Borrowing (or any portion thereof), the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Ratable Portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with this Section 2.2 and the Administrative 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 Lender shall not have so made such Ratable Portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative 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 Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter at the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing.  If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such corresponding amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.  If the Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such payment shall not relieve such Lender of any obligation it may have hereunder to the Borrower.

(d)                                 The failure of any Lender to make on the date specified any Loan or any payment required by it (such Lender being a “Non-Funding Lender”) shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations to make such Loan or payment on such date but no such

30

other Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make a Loan or payment required under this Agreement.

Section 2.3                                   [Reserved]

Section 2.4                                   [Reserved]

Section 2.5                                   [Reserved]

Section 2.6                                   Repayment of Loans

On the Maturity Date, the Borrower shall repay the entire unpaid principal amount of the Loans (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall equal an aggregate principal amount at maturity of $400,000,000, less any repayments of the principal amount thereof made prior to the Maturity Date, plus any PIK Payment thereon that may be added to the principal amount).

Section 2.7                                   Evidence of Debt

(a)                                  Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

(b)                                 (i)                                     The Administrative Agent, acting as agent of the Borrower solely for this purpose and for tax purposes, shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 8.8 (Notices, Etc.) a record of ownership (the “Register”) in which the Administrative Agent agrees to register by book entry the Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s interest in each Loan, and in the right to receive any payments hereunder and any assignment of any such interest or rights.  In addition, the Administrative Agent, acting as agent of the Borrower solely for this purpose and for tax purposes, shall establish and maintain accounts in the Register in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record (A) the names and addresses of the Lenders, (B) the Commitments of each Lender from time to time, (C) the amount of each Loan made and the Interest Period applicable thereto and (D) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower, whether such sum constitutes principal or interest (and the type of Loan to which it applies), fees, expenses or other amounts due under the Loan Documents and each Lender’s share thereof, if applicable.

(ii)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Loans (including the Notes evidencing such Loans) are registered obligations and the right, title, and interest of the Lenders and their assignees in and to such Loans shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register.  A Note shall only evidence the Lender’s or a registered assignee’s right, title and interest in and to the related Loan, and in no event is any such Note to be

31

considered a bearer instrument or obligation.  This Section 2.7(b) and Section 8.2 shall be construed so that the Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related regulations (or any successor provisions of the Code or such regulations).

(c)                                  The entries made in the Register and in the accounts therein maintained pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans owing by it in accordance with their terms.  In addition, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement.  Information contained in the Register with respect to any Lender shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, such Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d)                                 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, in the event that any Lender requests that the Borrower execute and deliver a promissory note or notes payable to such Lender in order to evidence the Indebtedness owing to such Lender by the Borrower hereunder, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver a Note or Notes to such Lender evidencing any Loans, as the case may be, of such Lender, substantially in the form of Exhibit B (Form of Note).

Section 2.8                                   Optional Prepayments

(a)                                  The Borrower may, upon at least three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans at the prepayment prices specified below, in whole or in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that if any prepayment of the Loans are made by the Borrower other than on the last day of an Interest Period for the Loans, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.14(e) (Breakage Costs).  Each partial prepayment of Loans shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $1,000,000 or integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof.  Upon the giving of such notice of prepayment, the principal amount of the Loans specified to be prepaid shall become due and payable on the date specified for such prepayment at the following prepayment prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, pursuant to the terms below:

32

(b)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may rescind any notice of prepayment under Section 2.8(a) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of the Facility, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.

(c)                                  No Borrower shall have the right to prepay the principal amount of any Loan other than as provided in this Section 2.8.

Section 2.9                                   Mandatory Prepayments

(a)                                  Change of Control Offer.  On the Change of Control Payment Date, if the Change of Control shall have occurred, the Borrower will, to the extent lawful, prepay all Loans properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, at a prepayment price in cash equal to (i) 100% of the principal amount thereof if such Change of Control occurs on or prior to the 12-month anniversary of the Closing Date or (ii) 101% of the principal amount thereof if such Change of Control occurs after the 12-month anniversary of the Closing Date, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of prepayment.

(b)                                 Qualified Equity Issuance Offer.  On the Qualified Equity Issuance Payment Date, if the Qualified Equity Issuance shall have occurred, the Borrower will, to the extent lawful, prepay the maximum principal amount of Loans properly tendered that may be purchased out of any Qualified Equity Issuance Net Proceeds at a prepayment price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of prepayment.  If Lenders holding Loans with an aggregate principal amount in excess of the amount the Borrower is required to prepay elect to have their Loans prepaid, the principal amount of the Loans to be prepaid will be determined pro rata based on the aggregate principal amount of such Loans.

Section 2.10                            Interest

(a)                                  Rate of Interest.

(i)                                     Subject only to Section 2.14 (Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans), all Loans shall be Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(ii)                                  All Loans and the outstanding amount of all other Obligations shall bear interest, in the case of Loans, on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loans are made (or added to the principal amount in the case of any PIK Payment) and, in the case of such other Obligations, from the date such other Obligations are due and payable until, in all cases, paid in full, as follows:

33

(A)                              if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (1) the Eurodollar Rate determined for the applicable Interest Period and (2) the Applicable Margin; and

(B)                                if a Base Rate Loan or such other Obligation, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (1) the Base Rate as in effect from time to time and (2) the Applicable Margin.

(b)                                 Interest Payments.

(i)                                     Interest on the Loans will accrue in arrears, in accordance with clause (a) above, and be payable on each March 15, June 15, September 15, and December 15, beginning September 15, 2007 by adding such interest for the applicable Interest Period to the principal amount of the outstanding Loans (each such payment, a “PIK Payment”).

(ii)                                  Accrued and unpaid interest on each Loan shall be payable in cash (A) upon the payment or prepayment thereof in full or in part on the principal amount paid or prepaid and (B) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.

(iii)                               Interest accrued on the amount of all other Obligations shall be payable on demand from and after the time such Obligation becomes due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

(c)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Borrower shall pay interest on overdue principal at the rate specified in clause (a)(ii) above plus 1% per annum.

Section 2.11                            Conversion Option

(a)                                  In the event that the Loans have been converted into Base Rate Loans pursuant to clause (b) or clause (d) of Section 2.14 (Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans), and the Administrative Agent has subsequently transmitted the requisite notices under clause (b) or clause (d), as applicable, that the circumstances causing such conversion no longer exist, then the Borrower may elect at any time on any Business Day to convert any such Base Rate Loans or any portion thereof back into Eurodollar Rate Loans; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of the Eurodollar Rate Loans for each Interest Period must be in the amount of at least $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof.  Each conversion shall be allocated among the Loans of each Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Ratable Portion.  Each such election shall be made by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior written notice (a “Notice of Conversion”) specifying (A) the amount of Loan being converted, (B) the applicable Interest Period and (C) the date of such conversion.

34

(b)                                 The Adminstrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion and of the options selected therein.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no conversion in whole or in part of Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be permitted at any time at which conversion into a Eurodollar Rate Loan would violate any other provision of Section 2.14 (Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans).  Each Notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable.

Section 2.12                            Fees

The Borrower has agreed to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Arranger fees, the amount and dates of payment of which are embodied in the Fee Letter.

Section 2.13                            Payments and Computations

(a)                                  The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder (including fees and expenses) not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day when due in Dollars to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 8.8 (Notices, Etc.) in immediately available funds without set off or counterclaim.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter cause to be distributed immediately available funds relating to the payment of principal, interest or fees to the applicable Lenders, in accordance with the application of payments set forth in clause (f) or (g) below, as applicable, for the account of their respective Lending Offices; provided, however, that amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 (Capital Adequacy), Section 2.16 (Taxes) or Section 2.14(c) or (d) (Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans) shall be paid only to the affected Lender or Lenders.  Payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. (New York time) shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day.

(b)                                 All computations of interest and of fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days (or 365/366 days in the case of Obligations bearing interest at the Base Rate), in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest and fees are payable.  Each determination by the Administrative Agent of a rate of interest hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c)                                  In lieu of making any payment permitted or required under this Agreement other than on the last day of the Interest Period therefor so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower at its option may deposit with the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the amount of the Loan to be prepaid and such Loan shall be repaid on the last day of the Interest Period therefor in the required amount; provided that interest in respect of such Loan shall continue to accrue at the rate provided hereunder until such amount shall have been applied in full to prepay the Loans.  Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent in an escrow account established on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.  Such deposit shall constitute cash collateral for the Loans; provided that the Borrower may at any time direct that such deposit be applied to make the applicable payment required pursuant to this Section 2.10 (Interest); provided, further, that while a Default or Event of Default has

35

occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may apply such deposit to make the applicable payment required under this Agreement.

(d)                                 Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of any Eurodollar Rate Loan to be made in the next calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.  All repayments of any Loans shall be applied to repay such Loans outstanding as Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans as notified by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in writing (which writing may be by telecopy) not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) one Business Day prior to the scheduled date of such payment; provided, however, that if the Borrower fails to so notify the Administrative Agent, such payment shall be applied first, to repay such Loans outstanding as Base Rate Loans and then, to repay such Loans outstanding as Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(e)                                  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower to the Lenders prior to the date on which any payment is due hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each applicable Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender.  If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each applicable Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon (at the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter, at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans) for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent.

(f)                                    Except for payments and other amounts received by the Administrative Agent and applied in accordance with the provisions of clause (g) below, all payments and any other amounts received by the Administrative Agent from or for the benefit of the Borrower shall be applied as follows: first, to pay principal of, and interest on, any portion of the Loans the Administrative Agent may have advanced pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement on behalf of any Lender, for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrower, second, to pay all other Obligations then due and payable and third, as the Borrower so designates.  Payments in respect of the Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to each Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Loans; and all payments of fees and all other payments in respect of any other Obligation shall be allocated among such of the Lenders as are entitled thereto and, for such payments allocated to the Lenders, in proportion to their respective Ratable Portions.

(g)                                 The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments in respect of the Obligations after the occurrence and

36

during the continuance of an Event of Default and agrees that, notwithstanding the provisions of clause (f) above, the Administrative Agent may, and, upon either (A) the written direction of the Requisite Lenders or (B) the acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 6.2 (Remedies) shall, apply all payments in respect of any Obligations in the following order:

(i)                                     first, to pay Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Administrative Agent;

(ii)                                  second, to pay Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Lenders;

(iii)                               third, to pay Obligations in respect of any fees then due to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders;

(iv)                              fourth, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Loans;

(v)                                 fifth, to pay or prepay principal amounts on the Loans; and

(vi)                              sixth, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations;

provided, however, that if sufficient funds are not available to fund all payments to be made in respect of any Obligation described in any of clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) above, the available funds being applied with respect to any such Obligation (unless otherwise specified in such clause) shall be allocated to the payment of such Obligation ratably, based on the proportion of the Administrative Agent’s or Lender’s interest in the aggregate outstanding Obligations described in such clauses.  The order of priority set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) above may at any time and from time to time be changed by the agreement of the Requisite Lenders without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by the Borrower or by any other Person that is not a Lender.  The order of priority set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above may be changed only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent in addition to that of the Requisite Lenders.

Section 2.14                            Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans

(a)                                  Determination of Interest Rate

The Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the procedures set forth in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate.”  The Administrative Agent’s determination shall be presumed to be correct absent manifest error and shall be binding on the Borrower.

(b)                                 Interest Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or Unfair

In the event that (i) the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the

37

Eurodollar Rate then being determined is to be fixed or (ii) the Requisite Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans in the applicable currency for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period for such Loan, convert into a Base Rate Loan and the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that the Requisite Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

(c)                                  Increased Costs

If at any time any Lender determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in determining the Eurodollar Rate) or the compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall have the effect of increasing the cost to such Lender (except with respect to Taxes, which shall be governed by Section 2.16) of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loans, then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost.  A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(d)                                 Illegality

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the date of this Agreement shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) the obligation of such Lender to make or to continue Eurodollar Rate Loans and to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and each such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan as part of any requested Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (ii) if the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans are then outstanding, the applicable Borrower shall immediately convert each such Loan into a Base Rate Loan.  If, at any time after a Lender gives notice under this clause (d), such Lender determines that it may lawfully make Eurodollar Rate Loans, such Lender shall promptly give notice of that determination to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit the notice to each other Lender.  The Borrower’s right to request, and

38

such Lender’s obligation, if any, to make Eurodollar Rate Loans, or convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans, shall be thereupon restored.

(e)                                  Breakage Costs

In addition to all amounts required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.10 (Interest), the Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon written request, for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans to the Borrower but excluding any loss of the Applicable Margin on the relevant Loans) that such Lender may sustain (i) if for any reason (other than solely by reason of such Lender being a Non-Funding Lender) a proposed Borrowing or conversion into Eurodollar Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion given by the Borrower or in a telephonic request by it for borrowing or conversion after notice therefor is given pursuant to Section 2.11 (Conversion Option), (ii) if for any reason any Eurodollar Rate Loan is prepaid on a date that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, (iii) as a consequence of a required conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan as a result of any of the events indicated in clause (d) above or (iv) as a consequence of any failure by the Borrower to repay Eurodollar Rate Loans when required by the terms hereof.  The Lender making demand for such compensation shall deliver to the Borrower concurrently with such demand a written statement as to such losses, expenses and liabilities, and this statement shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes as to the amount of compensation due to such Lender, absent manifest error.

Section 2.15                            Capital Adequacy

If at any time any Lender determines that (a) the adoption of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the date of this Agreement regarding capital adequacy, (b) compliance with any such law, treaty, rule, regulation or order or (c) compliance with any guideline or request or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s (or any corporation controlling such Lender’s) capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change, compliance or interpretation, then, upon demand from time to time by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such reduction.  A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error.

Section 2.16                            Taxes

(a)                                  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.16, any and all payments by the Borrower under each Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (i) in the case of each Lender and the Administrative Agent (A) taxes measured by its net income, branch profits and franchise taxes imposed on it, and similar taxes imposed by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the laws of which such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized, (B) any U.S. withholding taxes payable with respect to payments under the Loan Documents under laws (including any statute, treaty or regulation) in effect at the time a Lender becomes a party hereto or designates a new Lending Office, but not excluding any U.S. withholding taxes payable to the extent such Lender or its assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment or designation of a new Lending Office, to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such withholding tax pursuant to this Section 2.16 and (C) any withholding taxes attributable to a Lender’s failure to comply with Section 2.16(f), and (ii) in the case of each Lender, except to the extent arising solely as a result of entering into this Agreement, taxes measured by its net income, branch profits and franchise taxes imposed on it as a result of a present or former connection between such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any taxing authority thereof or therein (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”).  If any Taxes shall be required by law to be deducted from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Lender or the Administrative Agent (w) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16), such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (x) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (y) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (z) the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence of such payment.

(b)                                 In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies of the United States or any political subdivision thereof or any applicable foreign jurisdiction, and all liabilities with respect thereto, in each case arising from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (collectively, “Other Taxes”).

(c)                                  The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.16) paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including for penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto.  This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the

40

Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor, which demand shall include reasonable supporting documentation of the imposition of such Taxes or Other Taxes.

(d)                                 Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 8.8 (Notices, Etc.), the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(e)                                  Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 2.16 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations.

(f)                                    (i)                                     Each Non-U.S. Lender that is entitled to an exemption from U.S. withholding tax, or that is subject to such tax at a reduced rate under an applicable tax treaty, shall (v) on or prior to the Closing Date in the case of each Non-U.S. Lender that is a signatory hereto, (w) on or prior to the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender or the date a successor Administrative Agent becomes the Administrative Agent hereunder, (x) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and (z) from time to time if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with two completed originals of each of the following, as applicable:

(A)                              Form W-8ECI (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax because the income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business) or any successor form;

(B)                                Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under an income tax treaty) or any successor form;

(C)                                in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, a Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the portfolio interest exemption) or any successor form; or

(D)                               any other applicable form, certificate or document prescribed by the IRS certifying as to such Non-U.S. Lender’s entitlement to such exemption from U.S. withholding tax or reduced rate with respect to all payments to be made to such Non-U.S. Lender under the Loan Documents.

(ii)                                  Unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments

41

under any Loan Document to or for a Lender are not subject to U.S. withholding tax or are subject to U.S. withholding tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable Requirements of Law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate and pay over such amounts to the applicable taxing authority.  If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent have received forms or other documents indicating that payments under any Loan Document to or for a Non-U.S. Lender are subject to U.S. withholding tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall withhold amounts at such reduced rate and pay over such amounts to the applicable taxing authority.

(iii)                               Each U.S. Lender shall (v) on or prior to the Closing Date in the case of each U.S. Lender that is a signatory hereto, (w) on or prior to the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which such U.S. Lender becomes a Lender or on or prior to the date a successor Administrative Agent becomes the Administrative Agent hereunder, (x) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and (z) from time to time if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with two completed originals of Form W-9 (certifying that such U.S. Lender is entitled to an exemption from U.S. backup withholding tax) or any successor form.  Solely for purposes of this Section 2.16(f), a U.S. Lender shall not include a Lender or an Administrative Agent that may be treated as an exempt recipient based on the indicators described in Treasury Regulation section 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii).

(g)                                 Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and Requirements of Law) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that would be payable or may thereafter accrue and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

Section 2.17                            Substitution of Lenders

(a)                                  In the event that (i)(A) any Lender makes a claim under Section 2.14(c) (Increased Costs) or Section 2.15 (Capital Adequacy), (B) it becomes illegal for any Lender to continue to fund or make any Eurodollar Rate Loan and such Lender notifies the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.14(d) (Illegality), (C) the Borrower is required to make any payment pursuant to Section 2.16 (Taxes) that is attributable to a particular Lender or (D) any Lender becomes a Non-Funding Lender, (ii) in the case of clause (i)(A) above, as a consequence of increased costs in respect of which such claim is made, the effective rate of interest payable to such Lender under this Agreement with respect to its Loans materially exceeds the effective average annual rate of interest payable to the Requisite Lenders under this Agreement and (iii) in the case of clause (i)(A),(B) and

42

(C) above, Lenders holding at least 75% of the Commitments are not subject to such increased costs or illegality, payment or proceedings (any such Lender, an “Affected Lender”), the Borrower may substitute any Lender and, if reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, any other Eligible Assignee (a “Substitute Institution”) for such Affected Lender hereunder, after delivery of a written notice (a “Substitution Notice”) by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Affected Lender within a reasonable time (in any case not to exceed 90 days) following the occurrence of any of the events described in clause (i) above that the Borrower intends to make such substitution; provided, however, that, if more than one Lender claims increased costs, illegality or right to payment arising from the same act or condition and such claims are received by the Borrower within 30 days of each other, then the Borrower may substitute all, but not (except to the extent the Borrower have already substituted one of such Affected Lenders before Borrower’s receipt of the other Affected Lenders’ claim) less than all, Lenders making such claims.

(b)                                 If the Substitution Notice was properly issued under this Section 2.17, the Affected Lender shall sell, and the Substitute Institution shall purchase, all rights and claims of such Affected Lender under the Loan Documents and the Substitute Institution shall assume, and the Affected Lender shall be relieved of, the Affected Lender’s Commitments and all other prior unperformed obligations of the Affected Lender under the Loan Documents (other than in respect of any damages (which pursuant to Section 8.5, do not include exemplary or punitive damages, to the extent permitted by applicable law) in respect of any such unperformed obligations).  Such purchase and sale (and the corresponding assignment of all rights and claims hereunder) shall be recorded in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent and shall be effective on (and not earlier than) the later of (i) the receipt by the Affected Lender of its Ratable Portion of the Loans, together with any other Obligations owing to it, (ii) the receipt by the Administrative Agent of an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to it and the Borrower whereby the Substitute Institution shall agree to be bound by the terms hereof and (iii) the payment in full to the Affected Lender in cash of all fees, unreimbursed costs and expenses and indemnities accrued and unpaid through such effective date.  Upon the effectiveness of such sale, purchase and assumption, the Substitute Institution shall become a “Lender” hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement having a Commitment in the amount of such Affected Lender’s Commitment assumed by it and such Commitment of the Affected Lender shall be terminated; provided, however, that all indemnities under the Loan Documents shall continue in favor of such Affected Lender.

(c)                                  Each Lender agrees that, if it becomes an Affected Lender and its rights and claims are assigned hereunder to a Substitute Institution pursuant to this Section 2.17, it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance to evidence such assignment, together with any Note (if such Loans are evidenced by a Note) evidencing the Loans subject to such Assignment and Acceptance; provided, however, that the failure of any Affected Lender to execute an Assignment and Acceptance shall not render such assignment invalid.

ARTICLE V

COVENANTS

The Borrower agrees with the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to each of the following, as long as any Obligation (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim is pending) or any Commitment remains outstanding and, in each case, unless the Requisite Lenders otherwise consent in writing (provided, however, that during any period of time that (i) the Loans have Investment Grade Ratings from both Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under this Agreement (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event”), the covenants set forth in Sections 5.1 (Indebtedness), 5.2 (Liens, Etc.), 5.5 (Restricted Payments), 5.8 (Transactions with Affiliates), clause (3) of Section 5.4 (Merger, Consolidation or Sale of All or Substantially All Assets) and Section 5.10 (Future Guarantors) will not be applicable to the Loans (the “Suspended Covenants”).  In the event that the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants under this Agreement for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) one or both of the Rating Agencies (a) withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Loans below an Investment Grade Rating and/or (b) the Borrower or any of its Affiliates enters into an agreement to effect a transaction that would result in a Change of Control and one or more of the Rating Agencies indicate that if consummated, such transaction (alone or together with any related recapitalization or refinancing transactions) would cause such Rating Agency to withdraw its Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the ratings assigned to the Loans below an Investment Grade Rating, then from and after the Reversion Date the Borrower and its Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants with respect to future events (but not retroactively), including, without limitation, a proposed transaction described in clause (b) above):

Section 5.1                                   Indebtedness

The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, Incur any Indebtedness; provided, however, that (i) the Borrower may Incur Indebtedness if, after giving effect to such event on a pro forma basis, the Borrower’s Consolidated EBITDA Ratio for the four full fiscal quarters immediately preceding such event, taken as one period calculated on the assumption that such Indebtedness had been incurred on the first day of such four quarter period, is greater than or equal to 1.75:1; (ii) Marquee may Incur Indebtedness if, after giving effect to such event on a pro forma basis, the Borrower’s Consolidated EBITDA Ratio for the four full fiscal quarters immediately preceding such event, taken as one period calculated on the assumption that such Indebtedness had been incurred on the first day of such four quarter period, is greater than or equal to 1.75:1; and (iii) AMC and its Subsidiaries may Incur Indebtedness if, after giving effect to such event on a pro forma basis, AMC’s Consolidated EBITDA Ratio for the four full fiscal quarters immediately preceding such event, taken as one period calculated on the assumption that such Indebtedness had been incurred on the first day of such four quarter period, is greater

54

than or equal to 2.0:1); provided further, however, that the foregoing limitations shall not apply to:

(a)                                  Indebtedness of the Borrower under the Loans;

(b)                                 Indebtedness of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries under the AMC Credit Agreement together with the Guarantees thereunder and the issuance and creation of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances thereunder (with letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the face amount thereof) in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed $975.0 million; provided that Grupo Cinemex may Incur Indebtedness under this clause (b) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $25.0 million;

(c)                                  Indebtedness of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries outstanding on the Closing Date (other than Indebtedness described in clause (b) above);

(d)                                 Indebtedness of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries consisting of Permitted Interest Rate Protection Agreements;

(e)                                  Indebtedness of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to any one or the other of them;

(f)                                    Indebtedness of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries incurred to renew, extend, refinance or refund (each, a “refinancing”) any Indebtedness outstanding on the Closing Date in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the principal amount of the Indebtedness so refinanced plus the amount of any premium required to be paid in connection with such refinancing pursuant to the terms of the Indebtedness so refinanced or the amount of any premium reasonably determined by the Borrower as necessary to accomplish such refinancing by means of a tender offer or privately negotiated repurchase, plus the expenses of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries incurred in connection with such refinancing;

(g)                                 Indebtedness of any Subsidiary incurred in connection with the Guarantee of any Indebtedness of the Borrower; provided that in the event such Indebtedness that is being Guaranteed is a Subordinated Obligation of the Borrower, then the related Guarantee shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Subsidiary Guarantee;

(h)                                 Indebtedness relating to Currency Hedging Obligations entered into solely to protect the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries from fluctuations in currency exchange rates and not to speculate on such fluctuations;

(i)                                     Capitalized Lease Obligations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries;

55

(j)                                     Indebtedness of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with one or more standby letters of credit or performance bonds issued in the ordinary course of business or pursuant to self-insurance obligations;

(k)                                  Indebtedness represented by property, liability and workers’ compensation insurance (which may be in the form of letters of credit);

(l)                                     Acquired Indebtedness; provided that such Indebtedness, if incurred by the Borrower, would be in compliance with the limitations in this Section 5.1 (Indebtedness) above;

(m)                               Indebtedness of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to an Unrestricted Subsidiary for money borrowed; provided that such Indebtedness is subordinated in right of payment to the Loans and the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Indebtedness is greater than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Loans;

(n)                                 Indebtedness Incurred by Grupo Cinemex under the Mexican Credit Agreements together with the Guarantees thereunder and the issuance and creation of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances thereunder (with letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the face amount thereof) in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed $125.0 million;

(o)                                 Construction Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount that does not exceed $100.0 million at any time outstanding; and

(p)                                 Indebtedness of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries not otherwise permitted to be incurred pursuant to clauses (a) through (o) above which, together with any other Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (p), has an aggregate principal amount that does not exceed $100 million at any time outstanding.

Indebtedness described in clauses (a) through (p) above constitutes “Permitted Indebtedness.”

For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of permitted Indebtedness described in clauses (a) through (p) above or is entitled to be Incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, the Borrower shall, in its sole discretion, classify or reclassify, or later divide, classify or reclassify, such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this covenant.

Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness which is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included in the determination of such amount of Indebtedness; provided that the Incurrence of the Indebtedness represented by such guarantee or letter of credit, as the case may be, was in compliance with this covenant.

56

For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed or first Incurred (whichever yields the lower U.S. dollar equivalent), in the case of revolving credit debt; provided that if such Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced.

Section 5.2            Liens, Etc.

The Borrower will not, directly or indirectly, create, Incur or suffer to exist any Lien, other than a Permitted Lien, on any asset or property of the Borrower securing Indebtedness of the Borrower unless the Loans are equally and ratably secured with (or on a senior basis to, in the case of obligations subordinated in right of payment to the Loans) the obligations so secured until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien.  Any Lien which is granted to secure the Loans under this covenant shall be automatically released and discharged at the same time as the release of the Lien that gave rise to the obligation to secure the Loans under this covenant.

Section 5.3            [Reserved]

Section 5.4            Merger, Consolidation or Sale of All or Substantially All Assets

The Borrower shall not, in a single transaction or through a series of related transactions, consolidate with or merge with or into any other Person (other than any Wholly Owned Subsidiary) or sell, assign, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person (other than any Wholly Owned Subsidiary) or group of affiliated Persons unless at the time and after giving effect thereto:

(a)           either (i) the Borrower shall be the continuing corporation, or (ii) the Person (if other than the Borrower) formed by such consolidation or into which the Borrower is merged or the Person which acquires by conveyance, transfer, lease or disposition the properties and assets of the Borrower substantially as an entirety (the “Surviving Entity”) shall be a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia and shall, in either case, expressly assume all the Obligations of the Borrower under the Loans and this Agreement;

(b)           immediately after giving effect to such transaction on a pro forma basis, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and

57

(c)           immediately after giving effect to such transaction on a pro forma basis, except in the case of the consolidation or merger of any Subsidiary with or into the Borrower, the Borrower (or the Surviving Entity if the Borrower is not the continuing corporation) could incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness) under the provisions of Section 5.1 (Indebtedness).

Upon any consolidation or merger or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower in accordance with the foregoing, the successor corporation formed by such a consolidation or into which the Borrower is merged or to which such transfer is made shall succeed to, shall be substituted for and may exercise every right and power of the Borrower under the Loans and this Agreement, with the same effect as if such successor corporation had been named as the Borrower therein.  In the event of any transaction (other than a lease) described and listed in the immediately preceding paragraphs in which the Borrower is not the continuing corporation, the successor Person formed or remaining shall succeed to, be substituted for and may exercise every right and power of the Borrower, and the Borrower shall be discharged from all obligations and covenants under the Loans and this Agreement.

The Borrower shall not directly or indirectly:

(a)           declare or pay any dividend on, or make any distribution in respect of, any shares of the Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s Capital Stock (excluding dividends or distributions payable in shares of its Capital Stock or in options, warrants or other rights to purchase such Capital Stock, but including dividends or distributions payable in Redeemable Capital Stock or in options, warrants or other rights to purchase Redeemable Capital Stock (other than dividends on such Redeemable Capital Stock payable in shares of such Redeemable Capital Stock)) held by any Person other than the Borrower or any of its Wholly Owned Subsidiaries;

(b)           purchase, redeem or acquire or retire for value any Capital Stock of the Borrower or any Affiliate thereof (other than any Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower) or any options, warrants or other rights to acquire such Capital Stock; or

(c)           make any principal payment on, or redeem, repurchase, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value, in each case prior to any scheduled repayment or scheduled maturity, any Subordinated Obligation of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the payment, redemption, repurchase, defeasance, acquisition or retirement of (i) Subordinated Obligation in anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or final maturity, in each case due within one year of the date of such payment, redemption, repurchase, defeasance, acquisition or retirement and (2) Indebtedness permitted under clause (e) of Section 5.1 (Indebtedness)).

(such payments or any other actions described in (a), (b) and (c) above are collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”) unless at the time of and after giving effect to the

58

proposed Restricted Payment (the amount of any such Restricted Payment, if other than cash, as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and evidenced by a Board Resolution):

(1)           no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(2)           the Borrower could incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness) under the provisions of Section 5.1 (Indebtedness) above;

(4)           in the case of any Restricted Payments described in clause (b) above that are not made on a pari passu basis to all holders of the Borrower’s or such Affiliate’s Capital Stock, such Restricted Payment shall not have been made prior to February 15, 2008.

Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, the Borrower may:

(i)            pay the distributions contemplated by the Transactions; provided that such distributions shall not count against the Cumulative Credit;

(ii)           pay dividends on its Capital Stock within 60 days of the declaration thereof if, on the declaration date, such dividends could have been paid in compliance with the foregoing limitation;

(iv)          redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire or retire Subordinated Obligation of the Borrower or any Subsidiary by exchange for, or out of the proceeds of, the substantially concurrent sale of, new Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Subsidiary which is Incurred in accordance with Section 5.1 (Indebtedness) so long as:

(A)          the principal amount of such new Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of the Subordinated Obligation being so redeemed, repurchased, acquired or retired for value (plus the amount of any premium required to be paid under the terms of the instrument

59

governing the Subordinated Obligation being so redeemed, repurchased, acquired or retired plus any fees incurred in connection therewith);

(D)          such Indebtedness has a Weighted Average Life to Maturity at the time Incurred which is not less than the shorter of (x) the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Subordinated Obligation being so redeemed, repurchased, acquired or retired and (y) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity that would result if all payments of principal on the Subordinated Obligation being redeemed, repurchased, acquired or retired that were due on or after the date one year following the last maturity date of any Loans then outstanding were instead due on such date one year following the last date of maturity of the Loans then outstanding; or

(v)           repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value of any Subordinated Obligation pursuant to the provisions similar to those described under Section 5.11 (Change of Control) or pursuant to “asset sale” covenants set forth in indentures governing notes issued by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that, in the case of a Change of Control, all Loans tendered by holders of the Loans in connection with a Change of Control have been repurchased, redeemed or acquired for value.

Section 5.6            [Reserved]

Section 5.7            [Reserved]

Section 5.8            Transactions with Affiliates

The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly enter into or suffer to exist any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, the sale, purchase, exchange or lease of assets, property or services) with any Affiliate of the Borrower (other than a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower) involving aggregate consideration in excess of $5.0 million, unless:

(a)           such transaction or series of transactions is on terms that are no less favorable to the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, than would be available

60

at the time of such transaction or series of transactions in a comparable transaction in an arm’s-length dealing with an unaffiliated third party;

(b)           such transaction or series of transactions is in the best interests of the Borrower; and

(c)           with respect to a transaction or series of transactions involving aggregate payments equal to or greater than $50.0 million, a majority of disinterested members of the Board of Directors determines that such transaction or series of transactions complies with clauses (a) and (b) above, as evidenced by a Board Resolution.

Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may enter into or suffer to exist the following:

(i)            the Transactions and any transaction pursuant to any contract in existence on the Closing Date;

(ii)           any Restricted Payment permitted to be made pursuant to Section 5.5 (Restricted Payments);

(iii)          any transaction or series of transactions between the Borrower and one or more of its Subsidiaries or between two or more of its Subsidiaries (provided that no more than 5% of the equity interest in any such Subsidiary is owned, directly or indirectly (other than by direct or indirect ownership of an equity interest in the Borrower), by any Affiliate of the Borrower other than a Subsidiary);

(iv)          the payment of compensation (including amounts paid pursuant to employee benefit plans) for the personal services of officers, directors and employees of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and

(v)           the holding by any Affiliate of the Borrower of any of the Loans on the same terms and conditions as any other Lender thereunder.

Section 5.9            Reports and Other Information

The Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent will forward to or post on the Approved Electronic Platform for the Lenders) each of the following:

(a)           within the time period specified in the Commission’s rules and regulations, annual reports on Form 10-K (or any successor or comparable form) containing the information required to be contained therein (or required in such successor or comparable form), and

(b)           within the time period specified in the Commission’s rules and regulations, reports on Form 10-Q (or any successor or comparable form) containing the

61

information required to be contained therein (or required in such successor or comparable form).

In the event that:

(i)            the rules and regulations of the Commission permit the Borrower and any direct or indirect parent of the Borrower to report at such parent entity’s level on a consolidated basis and

(ii)           such parent entity of the Borrower is not engaged in any business in any material respect other than incidental to its ownership, directly or indirectly, of the capital stock of the Borrower,

such consolidated reporting at such parent entity’s level in a manner consistent with that described in this covenant for the Borrower will satisfy this covenant; provided that the same is accompanied by consolidating information that explains in reasonable detail the differences between the information relating to such direct or indirect parent and any of its Subsidiaries other than the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the information relating to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a standalone basis, on the other hand.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower will be deemed to have furnished such reports referred to above to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders if (i) Marquee has filed such reports (with respect to Marquee) with the Commission via the EDGAR filing system and such reports are publicly available and (ii) the Borrower has provided to the Administrative Agent the financial statements which it would have been required to include in such reports if the Borrower had been the registrant thereunder.  In addition, such requirements shall be deemed satisfied by the filing with the Commission of a registration statement or an amendment thereto relating to debt or equity securities of the Borrower if such registration statement and/or amendments thereto are filed at times that otherwise satisfy the time requirements set forth in the first paragraph of this covenant.

In the event that any direct or indirect parent of the Borrower is or becomes a guarantor of the Loans, the Borrower shall satisfy its obligations under this Section 5.9 (Reports and Other Information) with respect to financial information relating to the Borrower by furnishing financial information relating to such direct or indirect parent; provided that the same is accompanied by consolidating information that explains in reasonable detail the differences between the information relating to such direct or indirect parent and any of its Subsidiaries other than the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the information relating to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a standalone basis, on the other hand.

Section 5.10         Future Guarantors

After the Closing Date, the Borrower will cause each Subsidiary which guarantees any Indebtedness of the Borrower to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an

62

amendment to this Agreement pursuant to which such Subsidiary will unconditionally Guarantee, on a joint and several basis, the full and prompt payment of the principal of, and interest on the Loans on a senior basis.  Each such Guarantee will be limited to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by that Subsidiary without rendering such Guarantee, as it relates to such Subsidiary, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Subsidiary is released and discharged in full from its obligations under its Guarantees of all other Indebtedness of the Borrower, then the Guarantee of the Loans by such Subsidiary shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged.

Section 5.11         Change of Control

(a)           Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each Lender will have the right to require the Borrower to prepay all or any part of such Lender’s Loans at a prepayment price in cash equal to (i) 100% of the principal amount thereof, if the Change of Control occurs on or prior to the 12-month anniversary of the Closing Date, or (ii) 101% of the principal amount thereof, if the Change of Control occurs after the 12-month anniversary of the Closing Date, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of prepayment, except to the extent the Borrower has previously elected to prepay Loans as described under Section 2.8 (Optional Prepayments).

(b)           In the event that at the time of such Change of Control the terms of the Indebtedness of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries restrict or prohibit the prepayment of Loans pursuant to this covenant, then prior to the mailing of the notice to Lenders provided for in the immediately following paragraph but in any event within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Borrower shall, or shall cause one or more of its Subsidiaries to:

Section 5.16         Compliance Certificate

The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower beginning with the fiscal year 2008, an Officers’ Certificate stating that to such officer’s knowledge, the Borrower is in compliance with all covenants and conditions to be complied with by it under this Agreement.  For purposes of this Section 5.16 (Compliance Certificate), such compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice under this Agreement.

Section 6.3            [Reserved]

Section 6.4            Rescission

After a declaration of acceleration, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Administrative Agent, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Loans, by written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

(a)           the Borrower has paid or deposited, or caused to be paid or deposited, with the Administrative Agent a sum sufficient to pay (i) all sums paid or

Section 6.5            Waiver of Past Defaults

Subject to Section 6.2 (Remedies), the Lenders holding a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Loans then outstanding by notice to the Administrative Agent may waive an existing Default and its consequences except:

(a)           a Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on a Loan, or

(b)           a Default in respect of a provision that under Section 8.1 (Amendments, Waivers, Etc.) cannot be amended without the consent of each Lender affected.

When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any consequent right.

Section 6.6            Control By Majority

The Lenders holding a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Loans then outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any

69

remedy available to the Administrative Agent or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Administrative Agent with respect to the Loans.  However, the Administrative Agent may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Agreement or, subject to Section 7.1 (Authorization and Action), that the Administrative Agent determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Lenders or would involve the Administrative Agent in personal liability; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may take any other action deemed proper by the Administrative Agent that is not inconsistent with such direction.  Prior to taking any action hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to reasonable indemnification against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.

Section 6.7            Limitation on Suits

A Lender may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Agreement or the Loans unless:

(a)           such Lender shall have previously given to the Administrative Agent written notice of a continuing Event of Default;

(b)           the Lenders holding at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Loans then outstanding shall have made a written request to the Administrative Agent to pursue the remedy,

(c)           such Lender or Lenders shall have offered to the Administrative Agent reasonable security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense, to the Administrative Agent to pursue such proceeding; and

(d)           the Administrative Agent has failed to institute such proceeding and has not received from the Lenders holding at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, within 60 days after such notice, request and offer.

The foregoing limitations on the pursuit of remedies by a Lender shall not apply to a suit instituted by a Lender for the enforcement of payment of the principal of or interest on such Loan on or after the applicable due date specified in this Agreement. A Lender may not use this Agreement to prejudice the rights of another Lender or to obtain a preference or priority over another Lender.

Section 6.8            Rights of Lender to Receive Payment

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the right of any Lender to receive payment of principal of and interest on the Loans held by such Lender, on or after the respective due dates expressed in this Agreement, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Lender.

(b)           As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that (i) the Administrative Agent in good faith believes exposes it to personal liability unless the Administrative Agent receives an indemnification satisfactory to it from the Lenders with respect to such action or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law.  The Administrative Agent agrees to give to each Lender, if applicable, prompt notice of each notice given to it by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

(c)           In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders except to the limited extent provided in Section 2.7(b), and its duties are entirely administrative in nature.  The Administrative Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation other than as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents or any other relationship as the agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender or holder of any other Obligation.  The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties under any Loan Document by or through its agents or employees.

(d)           The Arranger shall not have any obligations or duties whatsoever in such capacity under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and shall incur no liability hereunder or thereunder in such capacity.

(a)           Each of the Lenders and the Borrower agree that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Approved Electronic Communications available to the Lenders by posting such Approved Electronic Communications on IntraLinks™ or a substantially similar electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”).

(b)           Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Closing Date, a dual firewall and a User ID/Password Authorization System) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a single-user-per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution.  In consideration for the convenience and other benefits afforded by such distribution and for the other consideration provided hereunder, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Lenders and the Borrower hereby approves distribution of the

72

Approved Electronic Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.

(d)           Each of the Lenders and the Borrower agree that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Approved Electronic Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally-applicable document retention procedures and policies.

Section 7.4            The Administrative Agent Individually

With respect to its Ratable Portion, the Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender.  The terms “Lenders”, “Requisite Lenders” and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include, without limitation, the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender or as one of the Requisite Lenders.  JPMorgan and its respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with, the Borrower as if JPMorgan were not acting as the Administrative Agent.

Section 7.5            Lender Credit Decision

Each Lender acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, conduct its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower in connection with the making and continuance of the Loans.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and other Loan Documents.  Except for the documents expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall not

73

have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial or other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any Affiliate thereof or any employee or agent of any of the foregoing.

Section 7.6            Indemnification

Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each of its Affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting their obligation to do so), from and against such Lender’s aggregate Ratable Portion of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of financial and legal advisors) of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s or such Affiliate’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of financial and legal advisors) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower.

Section 7.7            Successor Agents

The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower.  Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent.  If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, selected from among the Lenders.  In either case, such appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Borrower (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default).  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Prior to any retiring

74

Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the retiring Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Agent its rights as Agent under the Loan Documents.  After such resignation, the retiring Agent shall continue to have the benefit of this Article VII as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(G)           any amendments that would expressly subordinate the Loans to any other Indebtedness; and

75

(H)          any amendment that would impair the right of any Lender to receive payment of principal of or premium, if any, and interest on such Lender’s Loans on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Lender’s Loans; and

(ii)           the consent of 100% of the Lenders shall be required to make any changes to Sections 6.5 (Waiver of Past Defaults) or 6.8 (Rights of Lender to Receive Payment) or clause (i) of this Section 8.1(a) or the definition of the terms “Requisite Lenders,” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby.

(b)           Without the consent of or notice to any Lender, the Borrower and Administrative Agent may amend this Agreement to:

(i)            cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency,

(c)           The consent of the Lenders is not necessary under this Agreement to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment.  It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment.  After an amendment under this Agreement becomes effective, the Borrower shall mail to the respective Lenders a notice briefly describing such amendment.  However, the failure to give such notice to all Lenders entitled to receive such notice, or any defect therein, will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment.

(d)           The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the written concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender.  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 the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(e)           If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination requiring the consent of all Lenders, the consent of Requisite Lenders is obtained but the consent of any Lender whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in this Section 8.1 being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, at the Borrower’s request, an Eligible Assignee reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent shall have the right to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lender, and such Non-Consenting Lender agrees that it shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, sell and assign to the Lender acting as the Administrative Agent or such Eligible Assignee, all of the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender, in each case, for an amount equal to the principal balance of all such Loans held by the Non-Consenting Lender and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale; provided, however, that such purchase and sale shall be recorded in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent and not be effective until (x) the Administrative Agent shall have received from such Eligible Assignee an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower whereby such Eligible Assignee shall agree to be bound by the terms hereof and (y) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payments of all Loans held by it and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of the sale.  Each Lender agrees that, if it becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance to evidence such sale and purchase and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Note (if the assigning Lender’s Loans are evidenced by Notes) subject to such Assignment and Acceptance; provided, however, that the failure of any Non-Consenting Lender to execute an Assignment and Acceptance shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register.

(f)            The provisions under Section 5.11 (Change of Control) and clause (a) of Section 2.9 (Mandatory Prepayments) relating to the Borrower’s obligation to make

77

an offer to prepay the Loans as a result of a Change of Control may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Lenders of a majority in principal amount of the Loans.

(g)           The provisions under Section 5.18 (Qualified Equity Issuance) and clause (b) of Section 2.9 (Mandatory Prepayments) relating to the Borrower’s obligation to make an offer to prepay the Loans as a result of a Qualified Equity Issuance may be waived or modified with the written consent of the lenders of a majority in principal amount of the Loans.

Section 8.2            Assignments and Participations

(a)           Each Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including all of its rights and obligations with respect to the Loans); provided, however, that (i) if any such assignment shall be of the assigning Lender’s Loans and Commitments, such assignment shall cover the same percentage of such Lender’s Loans and Commitments, (ii) the aggregate amount being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event (if less than the assignor’s entire interest) be less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, except, in either case, (A) with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or (B) if such assignment is being made to a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender, and (iii) if such Eligible Assignee is not, prior to the date of such assignment, a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender, such assignment shall be subject to the prior consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower; provided, further, that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8.2, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required for any assignment occurring when any Event of Default under Section 6.1(a), (b), (h), (i) or (j) shall have occurred and be continuing.

(b)           The parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note (if the assigning Lender’s Loans are evidenced by a Note) subject to such assignment.  Upon the execution, delivery, acceptance and recording in the Register of any Assignment and Acceptance and, other than in respect of assignments made pursuant to Section 2.17 (Substitution of Lenders) and Section 8.1(e) (Amendments, Waivers, Etc.), the receipt by the Administrative Agent from the assignee of an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500 from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender, (ii) the Notes (if any) corresponding to the Loans assigned thereby shall be transferred to such assignee by notation in the Register and (iii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (except for those surviving the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances

78

occurring prior to such assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

(c)           The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 8.8 (Notices, Etc.) a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and shall record in the Register the names and addresses of the Lenders and the principal amount of the Loans owing to each Lender from time to time and the Commitments of each Lender.  Any assignment pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall not be effective until such assignment is recorded in the Register.

(d)           Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record or cause to be recorded the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower.  Within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall, if requested by such assignee, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent new Notes to the order of such assignee in an amount equal to the Commitments and Loans assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Lender has surrendered any Note for exchange in connection with the assignment and has retained Commitments or Loans hereunder, new Notes to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitments and Loans retained by it hereunder.  Such new Notes shall be dated the same date as the surrendered Notes and be in substantially the form of Exhibit B (Form of Note).

(e)           In addition to the other assignment rights provided in this Section 8.2, each Lender may do each of the following:

(i)            grant to a Special Purpose Vehicle the option to make all or any part of any Loan that such Lender would otherwise be required to make hereunder and the exercise of such option by any such Special Purpose Vehicle and the making of Loans pursuant thereto shall satisfy (once and to the extent that such Loans are made) the obligation of such Lender to make such Loans thereunder; provided, however, that (x) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment or an offer to commit by such a Special Purpose Vehicle to make Loans hereunder and no such Special Purpose Vehicle shall be liable for any indemnity or other Obligation (other than the making of Loans for which such Special Purpose Vehicle shall have exercised an option, and then only in accordance with the relevant option agreement) and (y) such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain responsible to the other parties for the performance of its obligations under the terms of this Agreement and shall remain the holder of the Obligations for all purposes hereunder; and

(ii)           assign, as collateral or otherwise, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Loans), to (A) without notice to or consent

79

of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, any Federal Reserve Bank (pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board) and (B) without notice to or consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, (1) any holder of, or trustee or other representative for the benefit of, the holders of such Lender’s Securities and (2) any Special Purpose Vehicle to which such Lender has granted an option pursuant to clause (i) above;

provided, however, that no such assignment or grant shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder except as expressly provided in clause (i) above and except, in the case of a subsequent foreclosure pursuant to an assignment as collateral, if such foreclosure is made in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 8.2 other than this clause (e) or clause (f) below.  Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any such Special Purpose Vehicle, such party shall not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Special Purpose Vehicle that has been granted an option pursuant to this clause (e) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation proceeding (such agreement shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations).  The terms of the designation of, or assignment to, such Special Purpose Vehicle shall not restrict such Lender’s ability to, or grant such Special Purpose Vehicle the right to, consent to any amendment or waiver to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or to the departure by the Borrower from any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document without the consent of such Special Purpose Vehicle except, as long as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to, and shall be entitled to continue to, deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement, to the extent any such consent would reduce the principal amount of, or the rate of interest on, any Obligations, amend this clause (e) or postpone any scheduled date of payment of such principal or interest.  Each Special Purpose Vehicle shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15 (Capital Adequacy) and 2.16 (Taxes) and of 2.14(d) (Illegality) as if it were such Lender; provided, however, that anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Borrower shall, at any time, be obligated to make any payment under Section 2.15 (Capital Adequacy), 2.16 (Taxes) or 2.14(d) (Illegality) to any such Special Purpose Vehicle and any such Lender in excess of the amount the Borrower would have been obligated to pay to such Lender in respect of such interest if such Special Purpose Vehicle had not been assigned the rights of such Lender hereunder; and provided, further, that such Special Purpose Vehicle shall have no direct right to enforce any of the terms of this Agreement against the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders.

(f)            Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons (except to the Persons designated by the Borrower in writing to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing Date) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Loans).  The terms of such participation shall not, in any event, require the participant’s consent to any amendments, waivers or other modifications of any provision of any Loan Documents, the consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, or to the exercising or refraining from

80

exercising any powers or rights such Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower), except if any such amendment, waiver or other modification or consent (a) increases the commitments of such participant, (b) reduces the principal, interest or fees payable to such participant, and (c) extends the final maturity of the Loans or commitments in which such participant participates.  In the event of the sale of any participation by any Lender, (w) such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (x) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties for the performance of such obligations, (y) such Lender shall remain the holder of such Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement and (z) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15 (Capital Adequacy) and 2.16 (Taxes) and of 2.14(d) (Illegality) as if it were a Lender; provided, however, that anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower shall not, at any time, be obligated to make any payment under Section 2.15 (Capital Adequacy), 2.16 (Taxes) or 2.14(d) (Illegality) to the participants in the rights and obligations of any Lender (together with such Lender) in excess of the amount the Borrower would have been obligated to pay to such Lender in respect of such interest had such participation not been sold; and provided, further, that such participant in the rights and obligations of such Lender shall have no direct right to enforce any of the terms of this Agreement against the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders.

Section 8.3            Costs and Expenses

(a)           The Borrower agrees upon demand to pay, or reimburse the Administrative Agent for, all of the Administrative Agent’s reasonable out-of-pocket audit, legal, appraisal, valuation, filing, document duplication and reproduction and investigation expenses and for all other reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of every type and nature (including the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of the Administrative Agents’ counsel, Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, local legal counsel, auditors, accountants, appraisers, printers, insurance and environmental advisors, and other consultants and agents) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any of the following: (i) the Administrative Agent’s audit and investigation of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in connection with the preparation, negotiation or execution of any Loan Document or the Administrative Agent’s periodic audits of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, (ii) the preparation, negotiation, execution or interpretation of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III (Conditions to Loans)), any Loan Document or any proposal letter or commitment letter issued in connection therewith, or the making of the Loans hereunder, (iii) the creation, perfection or protection of the Liens under any Loan Document (including any reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses for local counsel in various jurisdictions), (iv) the ongoing administration of this Agreement and the Loans, including consultation with attorneys in connection therewith and with respect to the Administrative Agent’s rights and responsibilities hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (v) the protection, collection or enforcement of any

81

Obligation or the enforcement of any Loan Document, (vi) the commencement, defense or intervention in any court proceeding relating in any way to the Obligations, the Borrower, any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (vii) the response to, and preparation for, any subpoena or request for document production with which the Administrative Agent is served or deposition or other proceeding in which the Administrative Agent is called to testify, in each case, relating in any way to the Obligations, the Borrower, any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (viii) any amendment, consent, waiver, assignment, restatement, or supplement to any Loan Document or the preparation, negotiation and execution of the same.

(b)           The Borrower further agrees to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders upon demand for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (including allocated costs of internal counsel and costs of settlement), incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lenders in connection with any of the following: (i) in enforcing any Loan Document or Obligation or any security therefor or exercising or enforcing any other right or remedy available by reason of an Event of Default, (ii) in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work-out” or in any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding, (iii) in commencing, defending or intervening in any litigation or in filing a petition, complaint, answer, motion or other pleadings in any legal proceeding relating to the Obligations, the Borrower, any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries and related to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Loan Document or (iv) in taking any other action in or with respect to any suit or proceeding (bankruptcy or otherwise) described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above; provided, however, that the Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph (b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the expenses of counsel shall be limited to one outside counsel to the Administrative Agent and one outside counsel to the Lenders and, in each case, any reasonably appropriate local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction, and if the interests of any Lender or group of Lenders (other than all of the Lenders) are distinctly or disproportionately affected, one additional outside counsel for such Lender or group of Lenders.

Section 8.4            Indemnities

(a)           The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, Arranger, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates, and each of the directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, representatives, attorneys, consultants and advisors of or to any of the foregoing (including those retained in connection with the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III (Conditions to Loans) (each such Person being an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, obligations, losses, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, disbursements and expenses, joint or several, of any kind or nature (including fees, disbursements and expenses of financial and legal advisors to any such Indemnitee) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in connection with or arising out of any investigation, litigation or proceeding, whether or

82

not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any such indemnitee or any of its directors, security holders or creditors or any such Indemnitee, director, security holder or creditor is a party thereto, whether direct, indirect, or consequential and whether based on any federal, state or local law or other statutory regulation, securities or commercial law or regulation, or under common law or in equity, or on contract, tort or otherwise, in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Obligation or any act, event or transaction related or attendant to any thereof, or the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loans or in connection with any investigation of any potential matter covered hereby (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, that the Borrower shall not have any liability under this Section 8.4 to an Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnified Matter that has resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order.  Without limiting the foregoing, “Indemnified Matters” include (i) all Environmental Liabilities and Costs arising from or connected with the past, present or future operations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries involving any damage to real or personal property or natural resources or harm or injury alleged to have resulted from any Release of Contaminants on, upon or into such property or migrating from such property, (ii) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any Remedial Action concerning the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any Environmental Lien on Real Property or any asset owned or leased by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and (iv) any costs or liabilities concerning the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, including their operations and owned or leased Real Property, incurred in connection with any other matter under any Environmental Law, including the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (49 U.S.C. § 9601 et seq.) and applicable state property transfer laws, whether, with respect to any such matter, such Indemnitee is a mortgagee pursuant to any leasehold mortgage, a mortgagee in possession, the successor in interest to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or the owner, lessee or operator of any property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries by virtue of foreclosure, except, with respect to those matters referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, to the extent (x) incurred following foreclosure by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, any Lender having become the successor in interest to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and (y) to the extent attributable solely to acts or omissions of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or any agent on behalf of the Administrative Agent, such Lender or any other Indemnitee.

(b)           The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, Arranger, and each Lender for, and hold the Administrative Agent, Arranger, and each Lender harmless from and against, any and all claims for brokerage commissions, fees and other compensation made against the Administrative Agent, the Arranger and the Lenders for any broker, finder or consultant with respect to any agreement, arrangement or understanding made by or on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

83

(c)           The Borrower, at the request of any Indemnitee, shall have the obligation to defend against any investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action, in each case contemplated in clause (a) above, and the Borrower, in any event, may participate in the defense thereof with legal counsel of the Borrower’s choice.  In the event that such Indemnitee requests the Borrower to defend against such investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action, the Borrower shall promptly do so and such Indemnitee shall have the right to have legal counsel of its choice participate in such defense.  No action taken by legal counsel chosen by such Indemnitee in defending against any such investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action, shall vitiate or in any way impair the Borrower’s obligation and duty hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnitee.

(d)           The Borrower agrees that any indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 8.4) or any other Loan Document shall (i) survive payment in full of the Obligations and (ii) inure to the benefit of any Person that was at any time an Indemnitee under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Section 8.5            Limitation of Liability

(a)           The Borrower agrees that no Indemnitee shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) to the Borrower or any of its respective Subsidiaries or any of its respective equity holders or creditors for or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and in the other Loan Documents, except to the extent such liability is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  In no event, however, shall any Indemnitee be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings).  The Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees (each for itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries) not to sue upon any such claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

(b)           IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY AGENT AFFILIATE HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT OR CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY OR ANY AGENT AFFILIATE’S TRANSMISSION OF APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR ANY USE OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH LIABILITY OF ANY AGENT AFFILIATE IS FOUND IN A FINAL NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FORM SUCH AGENT AFFILIATE’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

84

(c)           IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY DIRECTOR, OFFICER, EMPLOYEE, MANAGER, INCORPORATOR OR HOLDER OF ANY EQUITY INTERESTS IN THE COMPANY OR ANY DIRECT OR INDIRECT PARENT CORPORATION, AS SUCH, HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER UNDER THE LOANS, THE LOAN AGREEMENT, OR FOR ANY CLAIM BASED ON, IN RESPECT OF, OR BY REASON OF, SUCH OBLIGATIONS OR THEIR CREATION.  EACH LENDER BY MAKING A LOAN WAIVES AND RELEASES ALL SUCH LIABILITY.  THE WAIVER AND RELEASE ARE PART OF THE CONSIDERATION FOR ISSUANCE OF THE LOANS.

Section 8.6            Right of Set-off

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default each Lender and each Affiliate of a Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the Obligations now or hereafter existing whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and even though such Obligations may be unmatured.  Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.  Each Lender agrees that it shall not, without the express consent of the Requisite Lenders (and that, it shall, to the extent lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of the Requisite Lenders) exercise its set-off rights under this Section 8.6 against any deposit accounts of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries maintained with such Lender or any Affiliate thereof.  The rights of each Lender under this Section 8.6 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender may have.

Section 8.7            Sharing of Payments, Etc.

(a)           If any Lender (directly or through an Affiliate thereof) obtains any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off (including pursuant to Section 8.6 (Right of Set-off)) or otherwise) of the Loans owing to it, any interest thereon, fees in respect thereof or amounts due pursuant to Section 8.3 (Costs and Expenses) or 8.4 (Indemnities) (other than payments pursuant to Section 2.14 (Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans), 2.15 (Capital Adequacy) or 2.16 (Taxes) (in each case, whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off (including pursuant to Section 8.6 (Right of Set-off)) or otherwise) in excess of its Ratable Portion of all payments of such Obligations obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender (a “Purchasing Lender”) shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders (each, a “Selling Lender”) such participations in their Loans or other Obligations as shall be necessary to cause such Purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them.

85

(b)                                 If all or any portion of any payment received by a Purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Selling Lender shall be rescinded and such Selling Lender shall repay to the Purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Selling Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Selling Lender’s required repayment in relation to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the Purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the Purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered.

(c)                                  The Borrower agrees that any Purchasing Lender so purchasing a participation from a Selling Lender pursuant to this Section 8.7 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
