Section 2.02 Method of Borrowing.

(a) Each Borrowing shall be made on a Business Day, upon notice from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, given (i) in the case of a Borrowing that is a Base Rate Advance, not later than 11:00 A.M. on the date of the proposed Borrowing and (ii) in the case of a Borrowing that is a Eurodollar Rate Advance, not later than 11:00 A.M. on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such notice of a Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) by the Borrower shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A, specifying therein the requested (A) date of such Borrowing, (B) Type of Advance to be made in connection with such Borrowing, (C) aggregate amount of such Borrowing and (D) in the case of a Borrowing comprising Eurodollar Rate Advances, initial Interest Period for each such Advance. The Administrative Agent shall give notice to each Lender promptly upon receipt of each Notice of Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.02(a), the contents thereof and each such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing to be made pursuant thereto. Each Lender shall, before 1:00 P.M. on the date of such Borrowing, make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower in same day funds, the proceeds of such Borrowing. Such Borrowing will then be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent by crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent (or at such other location as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent).

(b) Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. In the case of any Borrowing that the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to comprise Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Borrower shall indemnify the applicable Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure of the Borrower to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing for such Advances, the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Advance is not made on such date.

(c) Each Borrowing (whether for a Base Rate Advance or a Eurodollar Rate Advance) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 or any multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (except that any such Borrowing may be in the aggregate amount of the unutilized Commitment on such date).

Section 2.03 Method of Swing Line Borrowing.

(a) Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made on a Business Day, upon notice from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and a Swing Line Bank, given not later than 1:00 P.M.

-25-

on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing. Each such notice of a Swing Line Borrowing (a “Notice of Swing Line Borrowing”) by the Borrower shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A, specifying therein (i) the requested date of such Swing Line Borrowing, (ii) the requested aggregate amount of such Swing Line Borrowing and (iii) whether the interest rate for such Swing Line Borrowing is to based on the Base Rate or the LIBOR Market Index Rate. The applicable Swing Line Bank shall, before 3:00 P.M. on the date of such Swing Line Borrowing, make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Borrower in same day funds, the proceeds of such Swing Line Borrowing. Such Swing Line Borrowing will then be made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent by crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by such Swing Line Bank and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent. For purposes of determining the amount of Outstanding Credits of any Lender and the amount of unutilized Commitments, each Swing Line Borrowing made by a Swing Line Bank will be deemed to comprise outstanding Advances of the Lenders made in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentages. In addition to the Swing Line Banks listed on Schedule 2.03, the Borrower may from time to time appoint one or more other Lenders (with the consent of such Lender (which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of such Lender) and the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)) to act as a Swing Line Bank hereunder. Any such appointment and the terms thereof (including the Swing Line Commitment of such Swing Line Bank) shall be evidenced by a separate written agreement executed by the Borrower and such Swing Line Bank and acknowledged (to evidence its consent as to the identity of such Swing Line Bank) by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice of any such appointment to the Lenders. Upon such appointment, if and for so long as such Lender shall have any obligation to make Swing Line Advances hereunder or any Swing Line Advance shall remain outstanding, such Lender shall be deemed to be, and shall have all the rights and obligations of, a “Swing Line Bank” under this Agreement.

(b) Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or any multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, or such lesser amount as shall be equal to the aggregate amount of the unutilized Commitment on such date.

(i) the aggregate amount of the Swing Line Advances outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Swing Line Commitments;

(ii) the aggregate amount of the Swing Line Advances of a Swing Line Bank outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Swing Line Commitment of such Swing Line Bank;

(iii) no more than one Swing Line Advance may be made on the same Business Day; and

(iv) each Swing Line Advance shall be paid in full by the Borrower on or before the fourteenth (14th) Business Day after the date the Swing Line Advance is made for such Swing Line Advance; provided, that such payment shall not be made from the proceeds of any other Swing Line Advances.

-26-

(d) On each date a Swing Line Advance is made, each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased a risk participation in such Swing Line Advance from the applicable Swing Line Bank in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Swing Line Advance. Upon request by a Swing Line Bank with an outstanding Swing Line Advance, and notwithstanding whether a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each other Lender shall purchase from such Swing Line Bank, and such Swing Line Bank shall sell and assign to each such other Lender, such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such outstanding Swing Line Advance as of the date of such demand, by making available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Swing Line Bank, by deposit to the Administrative Agent’s account, in same day funds, an amount equal to the sum of (i) the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Swing Line Advance to be purchased by such Lender, plus (ii) interest accrued and unpaid to and as of such date on such portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Swing Line Advance. Each Lender agrees to purchase its Pro Rata Share of an outstanding Swing Line Advance upon notice given not later than one (1) Business Day prior to the Business Day of proposed purchase. Upon any such assignment by a Swing Line Bank to any other Lender of a portion of its Swing Line Advance, such Swing Line Bank represents and warrants to such other Lender that such Swing Line Bank is the legal and beneficial owner of such interest being assigned by it, but makes no other representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to such Swing Line Advance or the applicable Loan Documents. If and to the extent that any Lender shall not have so made the amount of such Swing Line Advance available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of demand by the applicable Swing Line Bank until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate; provided, that if payment is not made within three (3) Business Days of demand, interest thereon shall accrue at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Percentage for Swing Line Advances for each day thereafter until paid. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such amount for the account of the applicable Swing Line Bank, such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute a Swing Line Advance by such Lender for purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal amount of the Swing Line Advance made by such Swing Line Bank shall be reduced by such amount.

(e) Any Swing Line Bank may and, if such Swing Line Bank is a Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 2.23(b), such Swing Line Bank shall, resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower, with any such resignation to become effective (i) if such Swing Line Bank is the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent has given notice of its resignation or has been removed in accordance with Section 8.08, on the Resignation Effective Date or Removal Effective Date, as applicable, (ii) if such Swing Line Bank is party to an Assignment and Acceptance whereby it intends to assign all of its Advances and Commitment to an Eligible Assignee pursuant to Section 2.23(b) or 7.05(b), on the effective date of such assignment or (iii) otherwise, on the later of (x) 30 days after delivery of such notice or (y) such date as agreed by such Swing Line Bank; provided that if such resigning Swing Line Bank is the only remaining Swing Line Bank at the time of its resignation and there is no Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall have the right to appoint a successor

-27-

Swing Line Bank, which shall be a Lender or an Eligible Assignee acceptable to the Required Lenders. If no successor Swing Line Bank shall have been so appointed by the Borrower, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Swing Line Bank’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Swing Line Bank may, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, appoint a successor Swing Line Bank, which shall be a Lender or an Eligible Assignee acceptable to the Borrower. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as a Swing Line Bank hereunder by a successor Swing Line Bank, such successor Swing Line Bank shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Swing Line Bank.

Section 2.04 Letters of Credit.

(a) In addition to the LC Issuing Banks listed on Schedule 2.04, the Borrower may from time to time appoint one or more other Lenders (with the consent of any such Lender (which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of such Lender) and the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)) to act as an LC Issuing Bank hereunder. Any such appointment and the terms thereof shall be evidenced in a separate written agreement executed by the Borrower and the relevant LC Issuing Bank and acknowledged (to evidence its consent as to the identity of such LC Issuing Bank) by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice of any such appointment to the other Lenders. Upon such appointment, if and for so long as such Lender shall have any obligation to issue any Letters of Credit hereunder or any Letter of Credit issued by such Lender shall remain outstanding, such Lender shall be deemed to be, and shall have all the rights and obligations of, an “LC Issuing Bank” under this Agreement.

Each Request for Issuance shall be delivered by the Borrower no later than 11:00 A.M. on the Business Day immediately prior to the proposed date of issuance (or effectiveness) specified therein. Not later than 2:00 P.M. on the proposed date of issuance (or effectiveness) specified in such Request for Issuance, and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions precedent and the other requirements set forth herein, the relevant LC Issuing Bank shall issue (or extend, amend or modify) such Letter of Credit and provide notice and a copy thereof to the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly furnish copies thereof to the Lenders; provided that the relevant LC Issuing Bank shall not issue or amend any Letter of Credit if such LC Issuing Bank has received notice from the Administrative Agent that the applicable conditions precedent have not been satisfied.

(c) No Letter of Credit shall be requested or issued hereunder if, after the issuance thereof, (i) the Outstanding Credits would exceed the aggregate Commitments or (ii) the LC Outstandings would exceed $150,000,000. No LC Issuing Bank shall have any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, the LC Outstandings for all Letters of Credit issued by such LC Issuing Bank would exceed the LC Commitment of such LC Issuing Bank.

(d) The Borrower hereby agrees to pay (through the proceeds of a Borrowing or otherwise) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each LC Issuing Bank and, if any Lender shall have purchased a participation in the Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrower pursuant to paragraph (e) below, such participating Lender, no later than (i) if the Borrower shall have received notice of such LC Issuing Bank’s payment pursuant to any Letter of Credit issued by it not later than 11:00 A.M. on the date of such payment, on such date, or (ii) if such notice has not been received by the Borrower prior to such time on such date, on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice (such date referred to in clause (i) or such Business Day referred to in clause (ii), the “LC Reimbursement Due Date”), a sum equal to the amount so paid by such LC Issuing Bank plus interest on such amount from the date so paid by such LC Issuing Bank until repayment to such LC Issuing Bank in full at a fluctuating interest rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Advances plus, if any amount paid by such LC Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit is not reimbursed by the Borrower on the LC Reimbursement Due Date, 2%, unless refinanced with an Advance.

(e) If any LC Issuing Bank shall not have been reimbursed in full for any payment made by such LC Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit issued by such LC Issuing Bank on the date payment is due from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.04, such LC Issuing Bank shall give the Administrative Agent prompt notice thereof (an “LC Payment Notice”) no later than 11:00 A.M. on the Business Day immediately succeeding such payment date (such date, the “LC Notice Date”). The Administrative Agent shall forward to each Lender no later than 1:00 P.M. on an LC Notice Date, the applicable LC Payment Notice. Each Lender severally agrees to purchase a participation in the Reimbursement Obligation of the Borrower to such LC Issuing Bank by paying to the Administrative Agent for the account of such LC Issuing Bank an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage of such unreimbursed amount paid by such LC Issuing Bank (such amount, an “LC Disbursement”), plus interest on such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from the date of the payment by such LC Issuing Bank to the date of payment to such LC Issuing Bank by such Lender. Each such payment by a Lender shall be made not later than 3:00 P.M. on the applicable LC Notice Date. Each Lender’s

-29-

obligation to make each such payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of such LC Issuing Bank shall be several and shall not be affected by the occurrence or continuance of a Default or the failure of any other Lender to make any payment under this Section 2.04(e). Each Lender further agrees that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(f) The failure of any Lender to make any payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of any LC Issuing Bank in accordance with paragraph (e) above shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to make payment, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender.

(g) The payment obligations of each Lender under Section 2.04(e) and of the Borrower under this Agreement in respect of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto or to such Letter of Credit;

(ii) any amendment or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, the terms of this Agreement or such Letter of Credit;

(iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary, or any transferee, of such Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any LC Issuing Bank, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, thereby or by such Letter of Credit, or any unrelated transaction;

(iv) any statement or any other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(v) payment in good faith by any LC Issuing Bank under the Letter of Credit issued by such LC Issuing Bank against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

(vi) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit by, or any act or omission of, the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for which the beneficiary may be acting); or

(vii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(h) Without limiting any other provision of this Section 2.04, for purposes of this Section 2.04, any LC Issuing Bank may rely upon any oral, telephonic, telegraphic, facsimile, electronic, written or other communication believed in good faith to have been authorized by the Borrower, whether or not given or signed by an authorized Person of the Borrower.

-30-

(i) The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit. Neither any LC Issuing Bank, the Lenders nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or Affiliates shall be liable or responsible for (i) the use that may be made of such Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee thereof in connection therewith; (ii) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (iii) payment by any LC Issuing Bank against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to such Letter of Credit; or (iv) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under such Letter of Credit, except that the Borrower and each Lender shall have the right to bring suit against each LC Issuing Bank, and each LC Issuing Bank shall be liable to the Borrower and any Lender, to the extent of any direct, as opposed to consequential, damages suffered by the Borrower or such Lender that the Borrower or such Lender proves were caused by such LC Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence, including, in the case of the Borrower, such LC Issuing Bank’s (x) failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof or (y) failure to make timely payment under such Letter of Credit following the presentation to it by the beneficiary thereof of a draft and accompanying certificate(s) that strictly comply with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each LC Issuing Bank may accept sight drafts and accompanying certificates presented under the Letter of Credit issued by such LC Issuing Bank that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and payment against such documents shall not constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence by such LC Issuing Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender (in its capacity as a Lender) shall be obligated to indemnify the Borrower for damages caused by any LC Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, on the first date on which the conditions precedent listed in Sections 3.01, 3.02(b), 3.02(c) and 3.02(d) shall be satisfied, the Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be “Letters of Credit” issued hereunder, resulting in Extensions of Credit on such date hereunder; and on such date the Administrative Agent shall confirm in writing to the Borrower and the relevant LC Issuing Banks the occurrence of such Extensions of Credit.

(k) Any LC Issuing Bank may and, if such LC Issuing Bank is a Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 2.23(b), such LC Issuing Bank shall, resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower, with any such resignation to become effective (i) if such LC Issuing Bank is the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent has given notice of its resignation or has been removed in accordance with Section 8.08, on the Resignation Effective Date or Removal Effective Date, as applicable, (ii) if such LC Issuing Bank is party to an Assignment and Acceptance whereby it intends to assign all of its Advances and Commitment to an Eligible Assignee pursuant to Section 2.23(b) or 7.05(b), on the effective date of such assignment or (iii) otherwise, on the later of (x) 30 days after delivery of such notice and (y) such date as agreed by such LC Issuing Bank; provided that if such resigning LC Issuing Bank is the only LC Issuing Bank at the time of its resignation and there is no Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall have the right to appoint a successor LC

-31-

Issuing Bank, which shall be a Lender or an Eligible Assignee acceptable to the Required Lenders. If no successor LC Issuing Bank shall have been so appointed by the Borrower, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring LC Issuing Bank’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring LC Issuing Bank may, on behalf of the Borrower and Lenders, appoint a successor LC Issuing Bank, which shall be a Lender or an Eligible Assignee acceptable to the Borrower. Except as provided in the immediately succeeding sentence, upon the acceptance of any appointment as an LC Issuing Bank hereunder by a successor LC Issuing Bank, such successor LC Issuing Bank shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring LC Issuing Bank. Except as provided in Section 8.08(d) with respect to any LC Issuing Bank which is a resigning Administrative Agent, after the effective date of the resignation of an LC Issuing Bank hereunder, the retiring LC Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an LC Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation, but shall no longer have an LC Commitment and shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or to extend, renew or increase any existing Letter of Credit.

(a) After the Closing Date, the Borrower may on one or more occasions, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and executed by the Borrower and one or more financial institutions (any such financial institution referred to in this paragraph (a) being called a “Designated Lender”), which may include, in the Borrower’s sole discretion, any Lender, cause new Commitments to be extended by the Designated Lenders (or cause the Commitments of the Designated Lenders to be increased, as the case may be); provided that (i) at no time shall the aggregate amount of all extensions of new Commitments and increases in existing Commitments effected pursuant to this paragraph (a) exceed $500,000,000, (ii) each such requested increase shall be in a minimum principal amount of $50,000,000, (iii) each Designated Lender shall (A) be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent, each LC Issuing Bank and each Swing Line Bank (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (B) if not an existing Lender, execute all such documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Commitment or Commitments of such Designated Lender and/or its status as a Lender hereunder, and (iv) immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to such proposed increase, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Extensions of new Commitments and increases in existing Commitments pursuant to this paragraph (a) shall become effective on the date specified in the applicable notice delivered by the Borrower. The Borrower shall deliver (i) a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, dated as of the effective date of such additional Commitments, stating that all representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in Article IV (other than the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.04 and 4.05(b)) (with all references in such Article to a Borrowing or Swing Line Borrowing being deemed to be references to the increase of the Commitments) are true in all material respects as if made on and as of such effective date (other than with respect to any representation and warranty that expressly relates to an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true in all material respects as of such earlier date, and except for any representation and warranty that is qualified by materiality or reference to Material Adverse Change, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true in all respects as of such earlier date), (ii) evidence of

-32-

appropriate corporate authorization on the part of the Borrower with respect to the increase in the Commitments and (iii) if requested by a Designated Lender, such opinions of counsel for the Borrower with respect to the increase in the Commitments as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. Any Lender or any other financial institution offered or approached to provide all or a portion of any increase in the Commitment pursuant to this paragraph (a) may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Commitment.

(b) The Outstanding Credits will be reallocated on the effective date of such increase among the Lenders in accordance with their revised Pro Rata Shares (and, with respect to any outstanding Advances, the Lenders agree to make all payments and adjustments necessary to effect the reallocation and the Borrower shall pay any and all costs required pursuant to Section 2.13 in connection with such reallocation as if such reallocation were a repayment). Prepayments made under this paragraph (b) shall not be subject to the notice or minimum amount requirements of Section 2.12.

(c) Promptly following the effective date of any Commitment increase pursuant to this Section 2.05, the Administrative Agent shall distribute an amended Schedule I to this Agreement (which shall thereafter be incorporated into this Agreement) to reflect any changes in Lenders, the Commitments and each Lender’s Pro Rata Percentage as of such effective date.

Section 2.06 Maturity of Advances; Extension and Termination of Commitment.

(a) Each outstanding Advance shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable in full, and the Commitments and the Swing Line Commitments shall terminate, on the Termination Date.

(b) The Borrower may request up to two one-year extensions of the Termination Date in effect on the date of any such request (the “Current Termination Date”) (notice of the exercise of which shall be given by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in writing at least 30 days prior to any anniversary of the Closing Date). Upon the delivery of such a written request by an authorized officer of the Borrower (an “Extension Request”), the Administrative Agent promptly shall deliver a copy of such Extension Request to each of the Lenders. Each Lender, acting in its sole discretion, shall by notice made in writing and delivered to the Administrative Agent on a Business Day not more than 30 days following the date of such Extension Request, advise the Administrative Agent whether such Lender agrees to such extension (each Lender agreeing to an Extension Request within such timeframe being referred to herein as an “Extending Lender”, and each Lender declining to agree to an Extension Request within such timeframe being referred to herein as a “Non-Extending Lender”). Any Lender which has not provided written notice to the Administrative Agent indicating whether such Lender agrees to the requested Extension Request prior to the 30^th day following the date of such Extension Request shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender. The election of any Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Lender to agree.

(c) If Lenders constituting the Required Lenders shall not have agreed to the Extension Request on or prior to the 30th day following the date of such Extension Request, then the Current Termination Date shall not be so extended, the principal amount of all Advances and all other amounts payable under this Agreement shall be payable in full and the Commitment shall terminate on the Current Termination Date.

-33-

(d) If Lenders constituting the Required Lenders shall have agreed to the Extension Request on or prior to the 30th day following the date of such Extension Request (such date, the “Extension Date”), then the Termination Date applicable to Extending Lenders shall be extended to be the day that is one year after the Current Termination Date. In the event of such extension, (w) the Commitments of each Non-Extending Lender shall terminate on the Current Termination Date, (x) the principal amount of all Advances and other amounts payable to each Non-Extending Lender under this Agreement shall be payable in full on the Current Termination Date, (y) the Lenders’ aggregate Commitment shall be reduced by the amount of the Commitment of each Non-Extending Lender unless such Non-Extending Lender is replaced pursuant to paragraph (e) below and (z) the outstanding Reimbursement Obligations will be reallocated on the Current Termination Date among the Extending Lenders in accordance with their revised Pro Rata Shares (and the Lenders agree to make all payments and adjustments necessary to effect the reallocation). Prepayments made under this paragraph (d) shall not be subject to the notice requirements of Section 2.12.

(e) In the event that the Termination Date is extended under paragraph (d) above, the Borrower shall have the right, on or before the Current Termination Date, at the Borrower’s sole expense and effort, to require any Non-Extending Lender to assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided, that such assignment shall be in accordance with, and subject to the requirements and restrictions contained in Section 7.05.

(f) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.06, no extension of the Termination Date shall become effective for any Lender unless, on the Extension Date, (i) the conditions set forth in Sections 3.02(b) and 3.02(c) (with all references in such Sections to a Borrowing or Swing Line Borrowing being deemed to be references to the extension of the Termination Date) shall be satisfied, and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect, dated the Extension Date and executed on behalf of the Borrower by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have received copies (certified to be true and complete by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower) of all governmental approvals (if any) required for each of the Borrower and the Parent in connection with such extension.

Section 2.07 Evidence of Advances.

(a) Each Lender shall maintain an account or accounts evidencing each Advance made by such Lender to the Borrower from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. Each Lender will make reasonable efforts to maintain the accuracy of its account or accounts, and to update promptly its account or accounts from time to time, as necessary.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 7.05(c) and a subaccount for each Lender, in which Register and subaccounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date, amount and Interest Period, if applicable, of each Advance, and whether

-34-

such Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a Eurodollar Rate Advance or a Swing Line Advance, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from or for the account of the Borrower and each Lender’s percentage share thereof. The Administrative Agent will make reasonable efforts to maintain the accuracy of the subaccounts referred to in the preceding sentence and to update promptly such subaccounts from time to time, as necessary.

(c) The entries made in the Register and subaccounts maintained pursuant to Section 2.07(b), to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of such obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain any such Register, subaccount or account, as applicable, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Advances in accordance with the terms thereof.

(d) Upon the request of any Lender, which request shall be made through the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, the Borrower shall deliver to such Lender a duly executed Note in the form of Exhibit D with appropriate insertions as to dates and principal amounts.

Section 2.08 Interest Rates.

(a) The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance from and including the date of such Advance to but excluding the date such Advance shall be paid in full (provided, that if the principal amount of any Advance is borrowed and repaid on the same day, the Borrower shall pay interest on such principal amount at the applicable interest rate for such day), at the following rates per annum:

(i) if such Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a variable rate per annum equal at all times to the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Percentage, payable quarterly in arrears on each Payment Date while such Base Rate Advance is outstanding, on the date of each prepayment to the extent required by Section 2.11(a) or 2.12, as applicable, and on the date such Base Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full;

(ii) if such Advance is a Eurodollar Rate Advance, a fixed rate per annum during each Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Advance equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Percentage, payable on the last day of the Interest Period (and, in the case of any Interest Period of more than three months’ duration, on each day that occurs during such Interest Period every three months after the first day of such Interest Period), on the date of each prepayment to the extent required by Section 2.11(a) or 2.12, as applicable, and on the date such Eurodollar Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full; and

(iii) if such Advance is a Swing Line Advance, at the election of the Borrower, a variable rate per annum equal to (A) the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus the Applicable Percentage for Eurodollar Rate Advances or (B) the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Percentage for Base Rate Advances, in each case, payable quarterly

-35-

in arrears on each Payment Date while such Swing Line Advance is outstanding, on the date of each prepayment to the extent required by Section 2.11(b) or 2.12, as applicable, and on the date such Swing Line Advance shall be paid in full.

(b) Subject to Section 7.02, (i) immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 6.01(a), 6.01(g) or 6.01(h) (in the case of Section 6.01(g) and 6.01(h), with respect to the Borrower and the Parent only), or (ii) at the election of the Required Lenders, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, (A) all outstanding Eurodollar Rate Advances shall bear interest at a rate per annum of two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Percentage) then applicable to Eurodollar Rate Advances until the end of the applicable Interest Period and thereafter at a rate equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Percentage) then applicable to Base Rate Advances, (B) all outstanding Base Rate Advances and other Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to two percent (2%) in excess of the rate (including the Applicable Percentage) then applicable to Base Rate Advances or such other Obligations and (C) all accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on demand of the Administrative Agent. Interest shall continue to accrue on the Obligations after the filing by the Borrower (as to itself) or against the Borrower (as a debtor) of any petition seeking any relief in bankruptcy or under any act or law pertaining to insolvency or debtor relief, whether state, federal or foreign.

(c) Upon the request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower with evidence of the amount of the Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage currently in effect.

Section 2.09 Fees.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 2.24, the Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) equal to the product of (i) the average daily amount of the Commitments (regardless of usage), multiplied by (ii) a per annum percentage equal to the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time. The Facility Fee shall accrue from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the Termination Date and shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date. Subject to Section 2.24(a)(iii), the Administrative Agent shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, distribute to each Lender all Facility Fees received pursuant to this Section 2.09(a) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages.

(b) Except as set forth in Section 2.24, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a fee (the “LC Fee”) with respect to each Letter of Credit in the amount equal to the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit multiplied by the Applicable Percentage with respect to Eurodollar Rate Advances (determined on a per annum basis), payable in arrears on each Payment Date. Subject to Section 2.24(a)(iii), the Administrative Agent shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, distribute to each Lender all LC Fees received pursuant to this Section 2.09(b) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages.

-36-

(c) The Borrower shall pay to each LC Issuing Bank such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such LC Issuing Bank in issuing, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any letter of credit as may be separately agreed between the Borrower and such LC Issuing Bank.

(d) In addition to the fees provided for in paragraphs (a) through (c) above, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Administrative Agent and the Joint Lead Arrangers, and to each LC Issuing Bank party thereto such other fees as are provided for in the Fee Letters.

Section 2.10 Termination or Reduction of Commitment.

(a) The Borrower may, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ notice to the Lenders, terminate at any time, or reduce from time to time, in each case without premium or penalty, by an aggregate amount of at least $5,000,000 (and integrals of $1,000,000 in excess thereof), the Commitment, the LC Commitment or the Swing Line Commitment.

(b) All accrued Facility Fees (as provided under Section 2.09) on the Commitment (in the case of a termination of the Commitment) or on the portion of the Commitment being reduced (in the case of a reduction of the Commitment) under this Section 2.10 shall be payable on the effective date of such reduction or termination.

(c) The Borrower hereby agrees to repay the outstanding principal amount of (i) all Advances in full on the Termination Date, (ii) all Swing Line Advances in accordance with Section 2.03(c)(iv) (but, in any event, no later than the Termination Date) and (iii) all other Obligations in full on the Termination Date, together with, in each case, without duplication, all accrued but unpaid interest thereon in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 2.11 Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) On each date on which the Commitment is reduced pursuant to Section 2.10, the Borrower shall repay or prepay such principal amount of the outstanding Advances, if any (together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment and any compensation payable pursuant to Section 2.13), and/or deposit funds in the Cash Collateral Account in respect of undrawn Letters of Credit outstanding on such date, as may be necessary so that after such payment and/or deposit, the Outstanding Credits do not exceed the amount of the Commitment as then reduced.

(b) On each date on which the Swing Line Commitments are reduced pursuant to Section 2.10, the Borrower shall repay or prepay such principal amount of the outstanding Swing Line Advances, if any (together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment), as may be necessary so that after such payment the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Swing Line Advances does not exceed the amount of the Swing Line Commitments as then reduced.

(c) On each date on which the LC Commitments are reduced pursuant to Section 2.10, the Borrower shall provide Cash Collateral for each LC Issuing Bank in an amount equal to the amount by which the LC Outstandings for all Letters of Credit issued by such LC Issuing Bank exceeds the LC Commitment of such LC Issuing Bank as then reduced, if any.

-37-

Section 2.12 Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may, upon notice delivered to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (a) on the date of prepayment in the case of any Base Rate Advance or Swing Line Advance, and (b) at least three (3) Business Days prior to such date in the case of any Eurodollar Rate Advance, prepay any such Advance, without premium or penalty, in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating at least $5,000,000 (and integrals of $1,000,000 in excess thereof) by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment and any compensation payable pursuant to Section 2.13.

Section 2.13 Compensation after Prepayment or Conversion. The Borrower shall, upon the demand of any Lender, pay to such Lender any amounts which are required to compensate such Lender for any losses (excluding losses of anticipated profits), costs or expenses incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain any Eurodollar Rate Advance, or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained, which may arise as a result of the optional or mandatory prepayment or Conversion of any Eurodollar Rate Advance, on any date other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period, or the failure to prepay any Advance on the date of prepayment specified in any notice of prepayment, except if arising in connection with a Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender and the replacement of such Lender pursuant to Section 2.23(b) or the termination of the Commitment of such Lender pursuant to Section 2.24(d). The amount of such loss or expense shall be determined, in the applicable Lender’s sole discretion, based upon the assumption that such Lender funded its Pro Rata Share of the Eurodollar Rate Advances in the London interbank market and using any reasonable attribution or averaging methods which such Lender deems appropriate and practical. A certificate of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender delivered by such Lender to the Administrative Agent no later than twelve (12) months after the event giving rise to the claim for compensation (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then the twelve-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof) shall be promptly forwarded to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender shall (unless the subject of a good faith dispute by the Borrower) be payable within fifteen (15) days after demand and receipt by the Borrower of such written statement, unless such Lender shall have failed to timely give notice of such claim for compensation as provided herein, in which event the Borrower shall not have any obligation to pay such claim.

Section 2.14 General Provisions as to Payments.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment of principal of, and interest on, the Advances, the LC Fee and the Facility Fees hereunder not later than 1:00 P.M. on the date when due in federal or other funds immediately available without setoff or counterclaim to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender at its Lending Office. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of each such payment, the Administrative Agent shall distribute to each Lender, at its Lending Office, its Pro Rata Share of such payment, including each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of Swing Line Advances purchased by such Lender in accordance with Section 2.03(d). If and to the extent that the Administrative Agent shall not have so distributed to any

-38-

Lender, at its Lending Office, its Pro Rata Share of such payment, the Administrative Agent agrees to pay to such Lender forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of demand by such Lender until the date such amount is paid to such Lender, at the Federal Funds Rate.

(b) Subject to the qualifications set forth in the definition of “Interest Period”, whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Advances or of Facility Fees or the LC Fee payable hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payab1e for such extended time.

Section 2.15 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Advances and Swing Line Advances determined by reference to the Base Rate, in each case when the Base Rate is determined by the Prime Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest provided hereunder shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed.

Section 2.16 Compensation, Additional Interest.

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

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Eurodollar Rate), any Swing Line Bank or any LC Issuing Bank;

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on any Lender, any Swing Line Bank or any LC Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Advances made by such Lender, Swing Line Bank or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender, Swing Line Bank or such other Recipient of making, Converting to, Continuing or maintaining any Advance or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Advance, or to increase the cost to such Lender, such Swing Line Bank, such LC Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, Swing Line Bank, LC Issuing Bank or other Recipient hereunder with respect to such Advance or Letter of Credit (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, Swing Line Bank, LC Issuing Bank or other Recipient, the Borrower will

-39-

pay to such Lender, Swing Line Bank, LC Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, Swing Line Bank, LC Issuing Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender, Swing Line Bank, LC Issuing Bank or other Recipient setting forth in reasonable detail the basis, method and calculations upon which such Lender, Swing Line Bank, LC Issuing Bank or other Recipient determined the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender, Swing Line Bank, LC Issuing Bank, other Recipient or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender, Swing Line Bank or LC Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 15 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender, Swing Line Bank, LC Issuing Bank or other Recipient to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s, Swing Line Bank’s, LC Issuing Bank’s or other Recipient’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender, Swing Line Bank, LC Issuing Bank or other Recipient pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than four (4) months prior to the date that such Person notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Person’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the four-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

-40-

(e) Subject to the requirements of Section 7.05(e), the provisions of this Section 2.16 shall be applicable with respect to any Participant or Assignee, and any calculations required by such provisions shall be based upon the circumstances of such Participant or Assignee.

Section 2.17 Taxes.

(a) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.17, the term “Lender” includes any LC Issuing Bank and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within 15 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate (together with a copy of the applicable documents from the Governmental Authority imposing such Indemnified Taxes) as to the amount of such payment or liability and setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 7.05(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses

-41-

arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

(f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(g) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.17(g)(ii)(A), 2.17(g)(ii)(B) and 2.17(g)(ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

-42-

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN; or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA

-43-

(including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Closing Date.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, Swing Line Bank or LC Issuing Bank, the termination of the Commitments, Swing Line Commitments and LC Commitments, and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Section 2.18 Changed Circumstances.

(a) Circumstances Affecting LIBOR Rate Availability. In connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Advance, a LIBOR Market Index Rate Advance or a Base Rate Advance as to which the interest rate is determined with reference to the LIBOR Market Index Rate or a Conversion to or Continuation thereof, if for any reason (i) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank Eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Advance, (ii) the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that any of the means set forth in the definition of “LIBOR” or “LIBOR Market Index Rate” do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Advance, any LIBOR Market Index Rate Advance or any Base Rate Advance as to which the interest rate is determined with reference to the LIBOR Market Index Rate or (iii) the Required Lenders shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the Eurodollar Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Advances during such Interest Period, or the LIBOR Market Index Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders or Swing Line Banks, as applicable, of making or maintaining such Advances, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Advances, LIBOR Market Index Rate Advances or Base Rate Advances as to which the interest rate is determined with reference to the LIBOR Market Index Rate and the right of the Borrower to Convert any Advance to or Continue any Advance as a Eurodollar Rate Advance, LIBOR Market Index Rate Advance or a Base Rate Advance as to which the interest rate is determined with reference to the LIBOR Market Index Rate shall be suspended, and the Borrower shall either (i) without regard to notice or minimum amount requirements set forth in Section 2.12, repay in full (or cause to be repaid in full) the then outstanding principal amount of each such Advance together with accrued interest thereon (subject to Section 2.15), on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Advance; or (ii) Convert the then outstanding principal amount of each such Advance to a Base Rate Advance as to which the interest rate is not determined by reference to the LIBOR Market Index Rate as of the last day of such Interest Period.

(b) Laws Affecting LIBOR Rate Availability. If any Change in Law shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any Eurodollar Rate Advance, any LIBOR Market Index Rate Advance or any Base Rate Advance as to which the interest rate is determined by reference to the LIBOR Market Index Rate (such Lenders so affected, the “Affected Lenders”), such Affected Lenders shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Borrower and the other Lenders. Thereafter, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Affected Lenders to make their respective portions of Eurodollar Rate Advances, LIBOR Market Index Rate Advances or Base Rate Advances as to which the interest rate is determined by reference to the LIBOR Market Index Rate, and the right of the Borrower to Convert such Affected Lenders’ portion of any Advance to a Eurodollar Rate Advance or Continue such Affected Lenders’ portion of any

-45-

Advance as a Eurodollar Rate Advance, LIBOR Market Index Rate Advance or a Base Rate Advance as to which the interest rate is determined by reference to the LIBOR Market Index Rate shall be suspended and thereafter the Borrower may select only Base Rate Advances as to which the interest rate is not determined by reference to the LIBOR Market Index Rate hereunder with respect to such Affected Lenders’ portion of any Advances, (ii) such Affected Lenders’ portion of all Base Rate Advances shall cease to be determined by reference to the LIBOR Market Index Rate and (iii) if such Affected Lenders may not lawfully continue to maintain a Eurodollar Rate Advance or a LIBOR Market Index Rate Advance to the end of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, such Affected Lenders’ portion of the applicable Advance shall immediately be Converted to a Base Rate Advance as to which the interest rate is not determined by reference to the LIBOR Market Index Rate for the remainder of such Interest Period.

Section 2.19 Conversion of Advances.

(a) The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. on the third Business Day prior to the date of any proposed Conversion into or Continuation as Eurodollar Rate Advances and on the Business Day of any proposed Conversion into Base Rate Advances subject to the provisions of Section 2.18, Convert all Advances of one Type into Advances of another Type or Types or Continue Advances of the same Type having the same or a new Interest Period; provided that no Advance shall be Converted to or Continued as a Eurodollar Rate Advance if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Each such notice of a Conversion or Continuation shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion or Continuation, (ii) the Advances to be Converted or Continued and (iii) with respect to any Continuation, or if such Conversion is into, or with respect to Eurodollar Rate Advances, the duration of the Interest Period for each such Advance.

(b) If the Borrower shall fail to select the Type of any Advance or the duration of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Advance in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” and Section 2.19(a) or if any proposed Conversion of an Advance to a Eurodollar Rate Advance upon Conversion shall not occur as a result of the circumstances described in Section 2.18 or 2.19(c), such Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then-existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance.

(c) Each notice of Conversion or Continuation given pursuant to Section 2.19(a) shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. In the case of any Advance that is to be Converted to a Eurodollar Rate Advance, the Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders against any loss, cost or expense incurred by the Lenders as a result of any failure to fulfill on the date specified for such Conversion the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund such Eurodollar Rate Advance, upon such Conversion, when such Conversion, as a result of such failure, does not occur. The Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph (c) shall survive the repayment of all other amounts owing to the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the termination of the Commitment.

-46-

(d) References in this Section 2.19 to “Advances” and “Types of Advances” shall not include the Swing Line Advances.

Section 2.20 Set off. Each Lender, Swing Line Bank and LC Issuing Bank may at any time upon or after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and without notice to the Borrower, set-off against the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement the whole or any portion or portions of any or all deposits and other sums credited by or due from such Lender, Swing Line Bank or LC Issuing Bank to the Borrower or subject to withdrawal by the Borrower, whether or not any other Person or Persons could also withdraw money therefrom; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.24 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuing Banks, the Swing Line Banks and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Agreement as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, Swing Line Bank and LC Issuing Bank under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or LC Issuing Bank may have in law or in equity. Each Lender, Swing Line Bank and LC Issuing Bank agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

Section 2.21 Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein:

(a) Each payment or prepayment of principal of any Advance, and each payment of interest on the Advances, shall be allocated first, to the payment or prepayment of principal of, or interest on, the Swing Line Advances (x) initially, if such payment is to satisfy the requirements of Section 2.03(c)(iv), to the applicable Swing Line Bank in accordance with Section 2.03(c)(iv) and (y) then, pro rata among the Swing Line Banks in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Swing Line Advances; and second, pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their outstanding Advances. Each payment of the Facility Fee and the LC Fee, each reduction of the Commitments and each Conversion or extension of any Advance shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentages.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a Borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of

-47-

the Federal Funds Rate and a rate reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to the Advances made in connection with such Borrowing. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(c) The obligations of the Lenders under this Agreement to make Advances and issue or participate in Letters of Credit are several and are not joint or joint and several. The failure of any Lender to make available its Pro Rata Share of any Advance requested by the Borrower shall not relieve it or any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Pro Rata Share of such Advance available on the borrowing date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make its Pro Rata Share of such Advance available on the borrowing date.

Section 2.22 Sharing of Payments. The Lenders agree among themselves that, in the event that any Lender shall obtain payment in respect of any Advance or any other obligation owing to such Lender under this Agreement through the exercise of a right of set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, in excess of its Pro Rata Share of such payment as provided for in this Agreement, such Lender shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders a Participation Interest in such Advances and other obligations in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time, as shall be equitable to the end that all Lenders share such payment in accordance with their respective ratable shares as provided for in this Agreement. The Lenders further agree among themselves that if payment to a Lender obtained by such Lender through the exercise of a right of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or other event as aforesaid shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored, each Lender which shall have shared the benefit of such payment shall, by repurchase of a Participation Interest theretofore sold, return its share of that benefit (together with its share of any accrued interest payable with respect thereto) to each Lender whose payment shall have been rescinded or otherwise restored. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing such a Participation Interest may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all rights of payment, including set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim, with respect to such Participation Interest as fully as if such Lender were a holder of such Advance or other obligation in the amount of such Participation Interest. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, if any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall fail to remit to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender an amount payable by such Lender or the Administrative Agent to the Administrative Agent or such other Lender pursuant to this Agreement on the date when such amount is due, such payments shall be made together with interest thereon for each date from the date such amount is due until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent or such other Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a

-48-

secured claim in lieu of a set-off to which this Section 2.22 applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders under this Section 2.22 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim. The provisions of this Section 2.22 shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (B) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.25 or (C) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Advances or participations in Swing Line Advances and Letters of Credit to any assignee or participant.

Section 2.23 Mitigation of Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or any Lender delivers notice pursuant to Section 2.18(b), then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.16 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future, or would eliminate or reduce the effect of any Change in Law that resulted in such notice having been delivered by such Lender pursuant to Section 2.18(b), and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.16, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.23(a), or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, Affected Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 7.05(b)), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.16 or 2.17) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(i) the Borrower shall have paid (or caused to be paid) to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 7.05(b)(iv);

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances and participations in Letters of Credit, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.13 as though such

-49-

assignment were a prepayment) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.16 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law;

(v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent; and

(vi) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming an Affected Lender, the Borrower shall have required all such Affected Lenders to assign all such interests, rights and obligations to an assignee (or assignees) that is not an Affected Lender.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

Section 2.24 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 7.04.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VI or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.20) shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any LC Issuing Bank or Swing Line Bank hereunder; third, subject to Section 2.24(a)(v), if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by any LC Issuing Bank or Swing Line Bank, to Cash Collateralize the LC Issuing Banks’ and Swing Line Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.25; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such

-50-

Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Advances under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the LC Issuing Banks’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.25; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the LC Issuing Banks or the Swing Line Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any LC Issuing Bank or any Swing Line Bank against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advances or LC Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Advances were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of and LC Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of, or LC Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.24(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. (A) Such Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive a Facility Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to extent allocable to the sum of (1) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Base Rate Advances and Eurodollar Rate Advances funded by it, and (2) its Pro Rata Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit and Swing Line Advances for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.25.

(B) Such Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive LC Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Pro Rata Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.25.

(C) With respect to any Facility Fee or LC Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to sub-clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in LC Disbursements or Swing Line Advances that has

-51-

been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each LC Issuing Bank and Swing Line Bank, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such LC Issuing Bank’s or Swing Line Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. For purposes of computing the amount of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s obligation to acquire, purchase, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Advances pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.04, the “Pro Rata Percentage” and “Pro Rata Share” of each such Non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender; provided that, (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 are satisfied (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time); and (ii) the aggregate amount of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s obligation to acquire, purchase, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Advances shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the Outstanding Credits of such Non-Defaulting Lender.

(v) Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swing Line Advances. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, at the Borrower’s election, (A) prepay Swing Line Advances in an amount equal to the Swing Line Banks’ Fronting Exposure or (B) Cash Collateralize the Swing Line Banks’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.25 and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the LC Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.25.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Swing Line Bank and each LC Issuing Bank agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Advances to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.24(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder in any Lender’s status from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

-52-

(c) New Swing Line Advances/Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) no Swing Line Bank shall be required to fund any Swing Line Advances unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swing Line Advance and (ii) no LC Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

(d) Termination of Defaulting Lenders. The Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender upon not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.24(a)(ii) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided that such termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuing Bank, any Swing Line Bank or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender

(e) No Waiver. The rights and remedies against, and with respect to, a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.24 are in addition to, and cumulative and not in limitation of, all other rights and remedies that the Administrative Agent and each Lender, each LC Issuing Bank, each Swing Line Bank or the Borrower may at any time have against, or with respect to, such Defaulting Lender. In particular, no reallocation under Section 2.24(a)(iv) shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any LC Issuing Bank, any Swing Line Bank or any Lender may have against a Defaulting Lender arising from such Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased Outstanding Credits following such reallocation.

Section 2.25 Cash Collateral.

(a) Defaulting Lenders Generally.

(d) Termination of Requirement.

-70-

due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Advances, Letters of Credit and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 7.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (v) each Fee Letter may be amended, or rights or privileges thereunder waived, in a writing executed only by the parties thereto.

(b) In connection with any proposed amendment, change or waiver (a “Proposed Change”) requiring the consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders, if the consent of the Required Lenders to such Proposed Change is obtained, but the consent to such Proposed Change of other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in paragraph (a) above being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, so long as the Lender that is acting as Administrative Agent is not a Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Non-Consenting Lender to assign and delegate (or to execute a Power of Attorney to the Administrative Agent for the Administrative Agent to assign and delegate on such Non-Consenting Lender’s behalf) without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 7.05), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and any relevant Issuing Bank), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Advances and participations in Letter of Credit payments that have not been reimbursed, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) the Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 7.05(b)(iv). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the return of the Note held by any such Non-Consenting Lender is not a condition to the effectiveness of any assignment pursuant to this Section 7.04(b).

Section 7.05 Benefit of Agreement.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided that, except as permitted by Section 5.02(b), the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its interests and obligations without prior written consent of each of the Lenders; and provided further that the rights of each Lender to transfer, assign or grant participations in its rights and/or obligations hereunder shall be limited as set forth in this Section 7.05.

(b) Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Advances, its Notes, and its Commitment); provided that:

(i) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee;

(ii) except in the case of an assignment to another Lender, an Affiliate of an existing Lender or any Approved Fund or an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and

-76-

obligations under this Agreement, any such partial assignment shall be in an amount at least equal to $10,000,000 (or, if less, the remaining amount of the Commitment being assigned by such Lender) or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof;

(iii) each such assignment by a Lender of any portion of its Advances shall be accompanied by an assignment of a constant, and not varying, percentage of all of such Advances, and each such assignment by a Lender of any portion of its Advances shall be accompanied by an assignment of a constant, and not varying, percentage of all of such Lender’s Advances;

(iv) the parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note subject to such assignment and a processing fee of $3,500;

(v) except for any (A) Swing Line Bank which is a Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 2.23(b), and (B) any LC Issuing Bank which (1) is a Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 2.23(b) and (2) has no Letters of Credit issued by it on such date of replacement, the consents of each LC Issuing Bank and Swing Line Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment; and

(vi) in connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the Pro Rata Share previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each LC Issuing Bank, each Swing Line Bank and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Pro Rata Share and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Advances in accordance with its Pro Rata Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Upon execution, delivery, and acceptance of such Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of such assignment, have the obligations, rights, and benefits of a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall, to the extent of such assignment, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Upon the consummation

-77-

of any assignment pursuant to this Section 7.05, the assignor, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if required, new Notes are issued to the assignor and the assignee. Each assignee shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent certification as to an exemption from or reduction of withholding of Taxes in accordance with Section 2.17(g). To the extent that an assignment of all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitment pursuant to this Section 7.05 would, at the time of such assignment, result in increased costs under Section 2.16 or 2.17 from those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment, then the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such increased costs (although the Borrower shall be obligated to pay any other increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective assignment).

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 7.01 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Advances owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Any assignment of any Advance or other obligations shall be effective only upon an entry with respect thereto being made in the Register.

(d) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by the parties thereto, together with any Note subject to such assignment and payment of the processing fee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit C, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the parties thereto.

(e) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person, or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each a “Participant”) in all or a portion of its rights, obligations or rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment or its Advances); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the obligations of the Borrower hereunder owing to such Lender and to approve any amendment, modification, or waiver of any provision of this Agreement (other than amendments, modifications, or waivers decreasing the amount of principal of or the rate at which interest is payable on such Advances or Notes, extending any scheduled principal payment date or date fixed for the payment of interest on such Advances or Notes, or extending its Commitment). The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.17(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.17(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to

-78-

the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.23 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.13, 2.16 or 2.17, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.13, 2.16 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or other central banking authority for such Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(h) Any Lender may furnish any information concerning the Borrower in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and Participants), subject, however, to the provisions of Section 7.06.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all or a portion of its Advances in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lender.

Section 7.06 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Swing Line Banks and the LC Issuing Banks agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related

-79-

Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed and required to keep such Information confidential and not to use such Information except in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, and it being further understood that each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Swing Line Banks and the LC Issuing Banks will be responsible for any disclosure or use of such Information by its Affiliates and its employees, officers and directors in a manner not permitted by this Section); (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); provided that except in connection with any routine bank examination of the Administrative Agent, such Lender, such Swing Line Bank or such LC Issuing Bank, such Person or Related Party shall (to the extent permitted by any regulatory authority), at the expense of the Borrower, provide the Borrower and the Parent with prompt (and to the extent practicable, prior) notice of such requested disclosure so that the Borrower or Parent may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and, in any event, such Person or Related Party shall provide only that portion of such Information that in the reasonable judgment of such Person or Related Party, as the case may be, is relevant, advisable or legally required to be provided, to the extent practicable; (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; provided that the Administrative Agent, such Lender, such Swing Line Bank or such LC Issuing Bank, as applicable, shall (to the extent legally permitted to do so), at the expense of the Borrower, provide the Borrower and the Parent with prompt (and to the extent practicable, prior) notice of such requested disclosure so that the Borrower or Parent may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and, in any event, the Administrative Agent, such Lender, such LC Issuing Bank or such LC Issuing Bank shall provide only that portion of such Information that in the reasonable judgment of such Person is relevant, advisable or legally required to be provided, to the extent practicable; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or this Agreement or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to this Agreement; (h) with the consent of the Borrower; or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any LC Issuing Bank or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than any Borrower Party (as defined below) that is not known by the Administrative Agent, such Lender, such Swing Line Bank, such LC Issuing Bank or such Affiliate to be prohibited from disclosing such information to it by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation to the Borrower, the Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Borrower Party relating to the Borrower, the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any LC Issuing Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Borrower Party. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided

-80-

in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. For purposes of this Section, “Borrower Party” means the Borrower, the Parent or any Subsidiary, Affiliate, attorney, accountant, auditor, advisor or agent of the Borrower or the Parent.

Section 7.07 Representation by Lender. Each Lender hereby represents that it is a commercial lender or financial institution which makes loans in the ordinary course of its business and that it will make its Advances hereunder for its own account in the ordinary course of such business; provided that, subject to Sections 2.23 and 7.05, the disposition of the Advances owed to such Lender and the Notes held by such Lender shall at all times be within its exclusive control.

(b) Waiver of Venue. Each party hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section.

The provisions of this Section are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Swing Line Banks and the LC Issuing Banks and neither the Borrower nor the Parent shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall act solely as Administrative Agent of the Lenders, the Swing Line Banks and the LC Issuing Banks and, does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with or for the Borrower, the Parent or any of their respective Affiliates.

The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender, a Swing Line Bank, an LC Issuing Bank, the Borrower or the Parent referring to the Loan Document, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders, the Swing Line Banks and the LC Issuing Banks.

Each Lender, Swing Line Bank and LC Issuing Bank expressly acknowledges that each of the Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates has not made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent or any Affiliate thereof hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, the Parent or any of their respective Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender, Swing Line Bank or LC Issuing Bank. Each Lender, Swing Line Bank and LC Issuing Bank represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, Swing Line Bank or LC Issuing Bank, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Parent or their respective Affiliates and made its own decision to make its Advances hereunder and enter into this Agreement.

Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders, the Swing Line Banks and the LC Issuing Banks by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender, Swing Line Bank or LC Issuing Bank with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, assets, property, financial or other conditions, prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Parent or their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

Section 8.07 Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, the Parent, their respective Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates as though the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder. With respect to the Advances and all obligations of the Borrower and the Parent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any Lender, any Swing Line Bank and any LC Issuing Bank, in such capacity, and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and

-85-

the terms “Lender”, “Lenders”, “Swing Line Bank”, “Swing Line Banks”, “LC Issuing Bank” and “LC Issuing Banks” shall include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity, as applicable.

Section 8.08 Successor Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders, the Swing Line Banks, the LC Issuing Banks and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Such successor shall be subject to the approval of the Borrower, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that such approval shall not be necessary if at the time such successor is appointed there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(a), 6.01(g) or 6.01(h). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may, (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, the Swing Line Banks and the LC Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender or shall be another commercial bank or trust company organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000. Such successor shall be subject to the approval of the Borrower, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that such approval shall not be necessary if at the time such successor is appointed there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(a), 6.01(g) or 6.01(h). Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent (x) is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person, or (y) no longer has any Commitment as a Lender, the Borrower may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Lenders and such Person, remove such Person as Administrative Agent. In connection with such removal, the Required Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent, subject to the approval of the Borrower, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that such approval shall not be necessary if at the time such successor is appointed there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(a), 6.01(g) or 6.01(h). If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after its removal (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders (in the case of a removal pursuant to clause (x) of this Section 8.08(b)) or the Borrower (in the case of a removal pursuant to clause (y) of this Section 8.08(b))) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(c) Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent, shall be discharged from its duties

-86-

and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. In the event that no successor has been appointed on the Resignation Effective Date or Removal Effective Date, as applicable, any Cash Collateral held by the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to be held by such Person, for the benefit of the Lenders, the Swing Line Banks and the LC Issuing Banks, as applicable, until a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed hereunder.

(d) Any resignation by or removal of Wells Fargo as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as an LC Issuing Bank and Swing Line Bank. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of Wells Fargo as the retiring LC Issuing Bank and Swing Line Bank, (ii) the retiring LC Issuing Bank and Swing Line Bank shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the Borrower shall (at the expense of (x) the retiring Administrative Agent, in the case of a resignation by the Administrative Agent and (y) the Borrower in the case of a removal of the Administrative Agent) (A) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause an LC Issuing Bank to issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or (B) make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring LC Issuing Bank to cause the obligations of the retiring LC Issuing Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit to be Cash Collateralized.

Section 8.09 Other Agents. No Joint Lead Arranger nor any Lender identified as an “Agent” (other than the Administrative Agent) shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than, in the case of any such Person which is also a Lender, Swing Line Bank or LC Issuing Bank, those applicable to all Lenders, Swing Line Banks or LC Issuing Banks, as applicable, as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any other Lender, Swing Line Bank or LC Issuing Bank. Each Lender, Swing Line Bank and LC Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.
