(f) Borrower agrees that, upon the request of either Loan Agent at the request of any Lender, Borrower will promptly execute and deliver to such Lender (i) a Revolving Note with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount, and/or (ii) a Term Note for each Term Loan Facility with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount.

(i) with respect to Reference Rate Loans, at the Reference Rate for each day plus the Applicable Margin; and

(ii) with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans, for each day during an Interest Period therefor, at the Eurodollar Rate for such day plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) Interest on each Loan shall be paid in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. Interest shall also be payable on the date of any prepayment of Loans pursuant to Section 2.12 or 2.13 (except for any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.12 of any Loan that is a Reference Rate Loan) for the portion of the Loans so prepaid and upon payment (including prepayment, except for any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.12 of any Loan that is a Reference Rate Loan) in full thereof and, after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, interest shall be payable on written demand.

(c) Interest on Reference Rate Loans calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty-five (365) or three hundred sixty-six (366) days, as the case may be; otherwise, interest and fees payable hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days, in each case for actual days elapsed, including the first day and excluding the last day.

Interest under this Section 2.08(d) shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed.

(e) Each determination of an interest rate by the applicable Loan Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The applicable Loan Agent shall, at the request of Borrower, deliver to Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the applicable Loan Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.08(a).

(f) If, after the Closing Date, but prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

(i) Administrative Agent shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or

(ii) Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Majority Lenders that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders

(as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,

then the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar Rate Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period may be withdrawn by Borrower or shall be made as Reference Rate Loans, (y) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be converted to or continued as Reference Rate Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be converted, on the first day of such requested Interest Period, to Reference Rate Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall Borrower have the right to convert Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans. The Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice of such withdrawal to Borrower and the Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter.

Section 2.09 Payment of Loans. Borrower shall repay the outstanding amount of (a) all Revolving Loans on the Revolving Credit Termination Date and (b) all Term Loans on the Termination Date.

Section 2.10 Payments. (a) Each payment to Borrower hereunder, and each payment of principal, interest and other sums due from Borrower under this Agreement shall be made in immediately available funds at the applicable Loan Agent’s address for payments indicated on the signature page of this Agreement.

(b) Each Lender agrees that upon receipt of notice from either Loan Agent, it will make the funds which it is to Loan hereunder available to such Loan Agent at such Loan Agent’s address for payments indicated on the signature page of this Agreement not later than 1:00 p.m., New York time, on the date of disbursement, and such Agent will thereupon Loan to Borrower the amount so received from Lenders.

(c) Payment of all sums under this Agreement shall be made by Borrower to the applicable Loan Agent for the account of Lenders, and the applicable Loan Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender its share of such payments by wire transfer of immediately available funds. Each payment by Borrower shall be made without setoff, deduction or counterclaim not later than 3:00 p.m., New York time, on the day such payment is due. All sums received after such time shall be deemed received on the next Banking Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of payment of interest, fees or other sums, as the case may be.

(d) Unless the applicable Loan Agent shall have been notified by telephone (confirmed in writing), by any Lender prior to a Borrowing Date, that such Lender will not make available to the applicable Loan Agent the amount which would constitute its applicable Commitment Percentage of the Loans to be made on such date, the applicable Loan Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the applicable Loan Agent and, in reliance thereon, may (but shall not be required to) make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. If such Lender makes its applicable Commitment Percentage of an Loan available to the applicable Loan Agent after a borrowing date, such Lender shall pay to the

applicable Loan Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) the daily average Federal Funds Rate from and including the borrowing date to but excluding the date the applicable Commitment Percentage of such Loan was made available to the applicable Loan Agent (the “Out of Funds Period”) multiplied by (ii) an amount equal to its applicable Commitment Percentage of such Loan multiplied by (iii) the quotient of the number of days in the Out of Funds Period divided by 365 or 366, as the case may be. A certificate from the applicable Loan Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph (d) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If any Lender’s applicable Commitment Percentage of an Loan is not in fact made available to the applicable Loan Agent by such Lender within one (1) Banking Day after a Borrowing Date, the applicable Loan Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount, with interest thereon at the rate per annum then applicable to the Loans hereunder, on demand from Borrower, without prejudice to the applicable Loan Agent’s and Borrower’s rights against such Defaulting Lender.

(e) Unless the applicable Loan Agent shall have been notified by telephone (confirmed in writing), by Borrower, prior to any date on which a payment is due hereunder, that Borrower will not make the required payment on such date, the applicable Loan Agent may assume that Borrower will make such payment to the applicable Loan Agent and, in reliance upon such assumption, may (but shall not be required to) make available to each Lender the amount due to it on such date. If such amount is not in fact paid to the applicable Loan Agent by Borrower within one (1) Banking Day after such payment is due, the applicable Loan Agent shall be entitled to recover from each Lender the amount paid to it by the applicable Loan Agent, together with interest thereon in the amount equal to the product of (i) the daily average Federal Funds Rate from and including the payment date to but excluding the date the payment was made available to the applicable Loan Agent (the “Out of Funds Interval”) multiplied by (ii) an amount equal to the amount received by such Lender multiplied by (iii) the quotient of the number of days in the Out of Funds Interval divided by 365 or 366, as the case may be. A certificate from the applicable Loan Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph (e) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

Section 2.11 Optional Termination or Reduction of Commitment Amounts. Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than three (3) Banking Days’ notice to the Revolving Credit Agent, to terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments and the L/C Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000 or a whole multiple thereof and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount then in effect; provided, however, that the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount may not at any time be reduced (after giving effect to any prepayments made on the date of such reduction pursuant to Section 2.13(b)) below the sum of (i) the principal amount of the outstanding Revolving Loans, (ii) the undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and (iii) the aggregate amount of all unreimbursed drawings under Letters of Credit on the date of reduction or termination. Any Revolving Credit Commitment Reduction pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall be permanent.

Section 2.12 Optional Prepayments. Upon written notice (or telephone or electric transmission notice confirmed promptly in writing) received by the applicable Loan Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date thereof, Borrower may at any time prepay any Reference Rate Loan in full or in part, without premium or penalty, in the

amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (or, if the outstanding principal amount of all Reference Rate Loans is less than $1,000,000, such lesser amount). Upon written notice (or telephone or electric transmission notice confirmed promptly in writing) received by the applicable Loan Agent not later than 1:00 p.m., New York time, received at least one (1) Banking Day prior to the date of prepayment, which notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment and the amount of Eurodollar Rate Loans being prepaid, Borrower may on the last day of any Interest Period with respect thereto prepay any Eurodollar Rate Loan in full or in part, without premium or penalty (other than costs required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.17(d)), in the amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each such prepayment of Revolving Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.12 may be reborrowed subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Prepayments of Term Loans may not be reborrowed. Any prepayments of Revolving Loans or Term Loans, as the case may be, made pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be applied first to Reference Rate Loans then outstanding and then to Eurodollar Rate Loans then outstanding, subject to Section 2.17(d). Any prepayments of Term Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be applied to Term Loans ratably and to the remaining installments of each thereof in direct order of maturity.

(a) Within ten (10) days of the date of receipt by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any Net Cash Proceeds, Borrower shall apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds, subject to Section 2.20 and other than costs required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.17(d), first, to make a mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans, and second, to make a mandatory prepayment of the outstanding Revolving Loans or, to the extent that at such time no Revolving Loans are outstanding, to cash collateralize any outstanding Letters of Credit, in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds.

(b) If at any time (A) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Revolving Loans plus the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit plus the aggregate amount of all unreimbursed drawings under Letters of Credit shall exceed (B) the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount, Borrower shall, without demand or notice, prepay Revolving Loans or cash collateralize or replace Letters of Credit in such amount as may be necessary to eliminate such excess, and Borrower shall take such action on the Banking Day on which Borrower learns or is notified of the excess, if Borrower so learns or is so notified prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such day, and otherwise on the immediately succeeding Banking Day. Notwithstanding any contrary provision contained herein, the prepayment of any Loan or cash collateralization or replacement of any Letter of Credit hereunder (except for any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.12 of any Loan that is a Reference Rate Loan) shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest on the amount prepaid to the date of payment.

(c) Any prepayments made pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be applied first to Reference Rate Loans to the extent then outstanding and then to Eurodollar Rate Loans to the extent then outstanding, subject to Section 2.17(d). Any prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be applied to the Term Loans ratably and to the installments of each thereof in direct order of maturity and may not be reborrowed.

Section 2.14 Fees. Borrower shall pay to the applicable Loan Agent for the ratable benefit of each relevant Lender (except as otherwise provided):

(a) in respect of each Letter of Credit, (i) a commission on the maximum face amount available for drawing under such Letter of Credit, calculated at the rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Letter of Credit fees (as set forth under the definition of Applicable Margin in Section 1.01) minus one-fourth percent (1/4%), computed for the period from the date such Letter of Credit is issued to the date upon which the next payment is due under this subsection (and, thereafter, from the date of payment under this subsection to the date upon which the next payment is due under this subsection), and payable quarterly in arrears (calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual days elapsed) on the last Banking Day of each March, June, September and December after the issuance of such Letter of Credit and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date;

(ii) a fronting fee in an amount equal to one-fourth percent (1/4%) of the face amount of such Letter of Credit, computed for the period from the date such Letter of Credit is issued to the date upon which the next payment is due under this subsection (and, thereafter, from the date of payment under this subsection to the date upon which the next payment is due under this subsection), and payable quarterly in arrears (calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual days elapsed) on the last Banking Day of each March, June, September and December after the issuance of such Letter of Credit and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided that such fee shall be for the Issuing Lender’s sole account;

(iii) all customary and reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses as are incurred or charged by the Issuing Lender in negotiating, issuing, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit, provided that payment of such costs and expenses shall be for the Issuing Lender’s sole account;

(b) a commitment fee, at the rate per annum equal to 0.50%, on the difference between (i) the average daily Revolving Credit Commitment Amount, and (ii) the average daily principal amount of the outstanding Revolving Loans, participating interests in Letters of Credit and unreimbursed drawings in respect of Letters of Credit. The commitment fees under this Section 2.14(b) shall be payable quarterly in arrears (calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual days elapsed) payable on the last Banking Day of each March, June, September and December and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date; and

(c) all other fees not set forth in this Section 2.14, but set forth in the DIP and Exit Credit Facility Fee Letter in the amounts, and at the times, provided therein.

Section 2.15 Agency Fees. Borrower agrees to pay to the Agents the fees in the amounts and on the dates as set forth in any fee agreements with the Agents and to perform any other obligations contained therein.

Section 2.16 Taxes.

(a) All payments or reimbursements under this Agreement and any instrument or agreement required hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding,

(i) in the case of each Lender and each Agent, taxes imposed on its net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or such Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof,

(ii) in the case of each Lender, taxes imposed on its net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of such Lender’s Lending Branch or any political subdivision thereof, and

(iii) in the case of each Lender that is not a U.S. person as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (“Non-U.S. Lender”), United States federal withholding taxes that are (x) attributable to such Bank’s failure to comply with the requirements of Section 2.16(d), (y) imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time the Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, or (z) imposed other than as a result of a change in treaty, law or regulation or the application or interpretation thereof, except in the case of (x) or (y), to the extent that such Bank’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from Borrower with respect to such taxes.

(all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If Borrower or any Loan Agent shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or any Loan Agent,

(i) the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as may be necessary so that after Borrower or the applicable Loan Agent has made all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.16) such Lender or such Loan Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made,

(ii) Borrower or the applicable Loan Agent shall make such deductions and

(iii) Borrower or the applicable Loan Agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made by Borrower or by any Loan Agent hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) Borrower will indemnify each Lender and each Loan Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.16) paid by such Lender or such Loan Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or such Loan Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor. Any such demand shall show in reasonable detail the amount payable and the calculations used to determine such amount and shall provide reasonably acceptable evidence of payment of such Tax or Other Tax.

(d) Each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver to Borrower and each Loan Agent two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN or Form W-8ECI, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by Borrower under this Agreement. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement. In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.16(d), a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section 2.16(d) that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(e) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Branch if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts which may thereafter accrue and would not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

(f) If Borrower determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting any Indemnified Taxes of Other Taxes for which additional amounts have been paid under this Section 2.16, the relevant Lender, Loan Agent or Issuing Lender shall cooperate with Borrower in challenging such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, at Borrower’s sole expense, if so requested by Borrower in writing.

(g) If a Loan Agent or a Lender determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall pay over such refund to Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the applicable Loan Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that Borrower, upon the request of the applicable Loan Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower

(plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Paying Agent or such Lender in the event the Paying Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.

(h) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Borrower contained in this Section 2.16 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest under this Agreement and the Notes and all other Obligations under this Agreement.

Section 2.17 Increased Costs; Illegality; Indemnity. (a)Borrower shall reimburse or compensate each Lender, within 30 days of written demand (including documentation reasonably supporting such request) by such Lender, for all costs incurred, actual losses suffered (other than lost profit) or payments made by such Lender which are applied or allocated by such Lender to the Credit (all as determined by such Lender in its reasonable discretion) by reason of:

(i) any Lender’s being subject to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Note or any Loan made by it, or change in the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for taxes covered by Section 2.16 and changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender) after the closing date;

(ii) the imposition, modification or holding applicable of any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate after the Closing Date; or

(iii) compliance by such Lender with any direction, requirement or request from any regulatory authority, whether or not having the force of law coming into effect after the Closing Date.

(b) Any Lender seeking (i) reimbursement from Borrower for the costs incurred, losses suffered or payments made as described in subsection (a) of this Section 2.17, or (ii) payment from Borrower under Section 2.18 hereof, may recover such sums from Borrower by delivering to Borrower a statement setting forth the amount owed to such Lender and showing how such calculation was made, signed by a duly authorized officer of such Lender, which statement shall be conclusive evidence of the amount owed absent manifest error; provided, however, that (A) reimbursement or payment under this subsection (b) shall not be demanded by any Lender for the period prior to the Closing Date, and (B) each Lender shall notify Borrower as promptly as practicable of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement that would entitle such Lender to reimbursement or payment under this subsection (b).

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof after the Closing Date shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, (A) the commitment of such Lender hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Loans, continue Eurodollar Rate Loans as such and convert Reference Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall forthwith be cancelled and (B) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Rate Loans, if any, shall if required by law, be converted automatically to Reference Rate Loans on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans or within such earlier period as required by law. If any such conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to paragraph (d) below.

(d) Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any actual loss (other than lost profits) or out-of-pocket expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (A) default by Borrower in payment when due of the principal amount of or interest on any Eurodollar Rate Loan, (B) default by Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans after Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (C) default by Borrower in making any prepayment after Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (D) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, including, without limitation, in each case, any such loss or expense arising from the reemployment of funds obtained by it or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The covenants contained in Subsections (b) and (d) of this Section 2.17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(e) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that no Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.17 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, notifies such Borrower of the change in law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further that, if the change in law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 2.18 Capital Adequacy. If any Lender shall have determined that, after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central Lender or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its Lending Branch or any corporation controlling such Lender) with any direction, requirement or request regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central Lender or

comparable agency, affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and such Lender (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s targeted return on capital) determines that the amount of such capital is increased or required to be increased as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement, then, within 30 days of written demand including documentation reasonably supporting such request by such Lender, Borrower shall immediately pay to such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increase.

Section 2.19 Letters of Credit. (a) The Letters of Credit. (i) From time to time during the Revolving Credit Commitment Period, each Issuing Lender agrees on the terms and conditions set forth herein to issue Letters of Credit for the account of Borrower; provided, that no Issuing Lender shall issue any Letter of Credit if after giving effect to such issuance, the aggregate undrawn amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding plus the aggregate amount of all unreimbursed drawings under Letters of Credit would exceed the L/C Commitment Amount; provided, further, that no Issuing Lender shall issue any Letters of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, the sum of the aggregate undrawn amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding plus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans plus the aggregate amount of unreimbursed drawings under Letters of Credit would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount.

(ii) No Issuing Lender shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any governmental authority or arbitrator shall purport by its terms to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit or any legal requirement applicable to such Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Lender refrain from the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated) not in effect on the Closing Date, or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable, in effect or known to such Issuing Lender on the Closing Date and which such Issuing Lender in good faith deems material to it; or

(B) such Issuing Lender has received notice from the Revolving Credit Agent, or from the Revolving Credit Agent at the request of any Lender, on or prior to the Banking Day immediately prior to the requested date of issuance of such Letter of Credit that one or more of the conditions contained in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied; or

(C) such requested Letter of Credit has an expiration date which is after March 31, 2008, unless arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender have been made for cash collateralization, return or backstop letter of credit for such Letter of Credit on or prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

(iii) Subject to Section 2.19(g), Letters of Credit with a one-year tenor may be by their terms automatically renewable (such automatically renewable Letters of Credit hereby referred to as “Renewable Letters of Credit”) for additional one-year periods (which shall in no event extend beyond the date referred to in the preceding paragraph (a)(ii)(C), as such date is determined at the time of such renewal or extension). The Issuing Lender shall notify all beneficiaries of Renewable Letters of Credit that such Letters of Credit shall not be renewed or extended unless the Revolving Credit Agent and the Issuing Lender shall have received the request from Borrower required under Section 2.19(g) and all conditions precedent to the issuance of Letters of Credit set forth in Section 4.02 are satisfied (or waived) at the time of such renewal or extension (which time, for purposes of this Section and Section 4.02, shall be deemed to be the time of such renewal or extension and not the expiry date of such Letters of Credit).

(b) Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued upon the irrevocable written request of Borrower, received by the Revolving Credit Agent and the Issuing Lender at least seven (7) days (or such shorter time as the Revolving Credit Agent may agree in a particular instance) prior to the proposed date of issuance.

(ii) Each request for issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be by telecopy, confirmed immediately in writing, on the form specified by the Issuing Lender as being its then customary form for letter of credit applications and shall specify: (A) the proposed date of issuance (which shall be a Banking Day); (B) the face amount of the Letter of Credit; (C) the date of expiration of the Letter of Credit; (D) the purpose of such Letter of Credit, (E) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (F) the documents to be presented by the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) the full text of any certificate to be presented by the beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; provided that in the event that the form specified by the Issuing Lender conflicts with any provisions of this Agreement, the provisions in this Agreement shall govern.

(iii) No Letter of Credit shall be issued (or renewed or extended) if such Letter of Credit would thereupon have an expiration date which is after March 31, 2008, unless arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender have been made on or prior to the Revolving Credit Termination

Date for cash collateralization, return or backstop letter of credit for such Letter of Credit.

(iv) Unless an Issuing Lender has received notice on or before the Banking Day immediately preceding the date such Issuing Lender is to issue a requested Letter of Credit (A) from the Revolving Credit Agent directing such Issuing Lender not to issue such Letter of Credit because the amount specified in Section 2.19(a)(i) would be exceeded and/or (B) from any Lender that one or more conditions specified in Section 4.02 are not then satisfied (or waived), then subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.19 and provided that the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 hereof have been satisfied, such Issuing Lender shall, subject to paragraph (a)(ii), on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of Borrower in accordance with the Issuing Lender’s usual and customary business practices. Prior to issuing any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender of such Letter of Credit will consult with the Revolving Credit Agent to confirm that the amount specified in Section 2.19(a)(i) would not be exceeded, and that the conditions specified in Section 4.02 have been satisfied.

(v) Promptly after issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall deliver to Borrower and the Revolving Credit Agent a copy of such Letter of Credit. The Revolving Credit Agent shall promptly deliver a copy thereof to each other Lender. Each Letter of Credit shall provide that, except as otherwise determined in the sole discretion of the Issuing Lender, payment thereunder shall not be made earlier than two (2) Banking Days after receipt of any requisite documents demanding such payment.

(vi) All Letters of Credit shall be issued only in Dollars.

(i) Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender (other than the Issuing Lender) shall be deemed to, and hereby agrees to, have irrevocably purchased from the Issuing Lender a participation in such Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in a percentage equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Lender. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH SUCH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT LETTERS OF CREDIT MAY BE ISSUED WITH EXPIRATION DATES THAT OCCUR AFTER THE REVOLVING CREDIT TERMINATION DATE. EACH SUCH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ITS PARTICIPATING INTEREST APPLIES TO SUCH LETTERS OF CREDIT BOTH BEFORE AND AFTER THE REVOLVING CREDIT TERMINATION DATE INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DURING THE PERIOD FOLLOWING THE REVOLVING CREDIT TERMINATION DATE.

(ii) Borrower shall reimburse the Revolving Credit Agent for the full amount of any drawing under the Letter of Credit on the Banking Day immediately succeeding the date such drawing is honored by the Issuing Lender. Borrower shall pay interest to the Issuing Lender from the date such drawing is honored by the Issuing Lender to the Banking Day immediately succeeding such date at a rate equal to the Reference Rate plus the Applicable Margin. In the event Borrower shall fail to reimburse the Revolving Credit Agent for the full amount of any drawing on the Banking Day immediately succeeding the date such drawing is honored by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Revolving Credit Agent and the Revolving Credit Agent shall as promptly as possible notify each Lender with a Revolving Credit Commitment thereof and Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that a Reference Rate Loan be made by the Lenders with a Revolving Credit Commitment to be disbursed on the date of payment by the Issuing Lender under such Letter of Credit, subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount on such date and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. Any notice given by the Issuing Lender or the Revolving Credit Agent pursuant hereto may be oral if immediately confirmed in writing (including telecopy or telex); provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness and binding effect of such notice. The proceeds of such Revolving Loans shall be paid to the Revolving Credit Agent which will, in turn, disburse such proceeds to the Issuing Lender as reimbursement for such drawings.

(iii) Any unreimbursed Letter of Credit drawing which shall not be converted into a Revolving Loan pursuant to Section 2.19(c)(ii) in whole or in part because such conversion would have caused the Revolving Credit Commitment Amount to be exceeded or because of Borrower’s failure to satisfy (without waiver) the conditions set forth in Section 4.02, shall become due and payable on the Banking Day immediately succeeding the date such drawing is paid by the Issuing Lender. The Revolving Credit Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and Lenders with a Revolving Credit Commitment of the occurrence of any unreimbursed drawing under a Letter of Credit. Any such unreimbursed drawing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Reference Rate plus the sum of the Applicable Margin and 2%.

(iv) Each Lender will, promptly upon receipt of notice of an unreimbursed drawing under a Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.19(c)(iii), make available to the Revolving Credit Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender an amount in immediately available funds equal to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such unreimbursed drawing. If any Lender so notified shall fail to make available to the Revolving Credit Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender the amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any such unreimbursed drawing on the date the relevant Letter of Credit drawing was honored by the Issuing Lender (the “Participation Date”), then interest shall accrue on such Lender’s obligation to make such payment, (i) from the Participation Date to but not including the

second Banking Day after the Participation Date at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate, and (ii) from the second Banking Day after the Participation Date at the same rate specified in Section 2.08(a) for Reference Rate Loans. The Revolving Credit Agent will as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than two (2) Banking Days after the occurrence thereof) give notice of the occurrence of the Participation Date, but failure of the Revolving Credit Agent to give any such notice on the Participation Date or in sufficient time to enable any Lender to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Lender from its obligations under this Section 2.19(c)(iv).

(v) The obligation of each Lender to provide the Revolving Credit Agent with such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of any payment or disbursement made by any Issuing Lender under any outstanding Letter of Credit shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which such Lender may have or have had against such Issuing Lender (or any other Lender), including, without limitation, that the Revolving Credit Termination Date has occurred after, on or prior to the date of such payment or disbursement, any defense based on the failure of the demand for payment under such Letter of Credit to conform to the terms of such Letter of Credit or the legality, validity, regularity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit or any defense based on the identity of the transferee of such Letter of Credit or the sufficiency of the transfer if such Letter of Credit is transferable; provided, however, that Lenders shall not be obligated to reimburse such Issuing Lender for any wrongful payment or disbursement made under any Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Issuing Lender or any of its officers, employees or agents. Further, each Lender agrees to perform its obligations under Section 2.19(c)(iv) despite the occurrence of the Revolving Credit Termination Date, a Default or an Event of Default or any inability of Borrower to require such Lender to fulfill its other obligations hereunder including, without limitation, any inability resulting from the operation of Bankruptcy Code § 365(c)(2) (11 U.S.C. § 365(c)(2)) or otherwise.

(d) Repayment of Participations.

(i) Upon and only upon receipt by the Revolving Credit Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender of funds from Borrower,

(A) in reimbursement of any payment made under a Letter of Credit with respect to which any Lender has theretofore paid the Revolving Credit Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender for such Lender’s participation in the Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.19(c)(iv); or

(B) in payment of interest thereon;

the Revolving Credit Agent will pay to each Lender which has funded its participating interest therein, in the same funds as those received by the Revolving Credit Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender, such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such funds.

(ii) If the Revolving Credit Agent or the Issuing Lender is required at any time to return to Borrower or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official any portion of the payments made by Borrower to the Revolving Credit Agent for the account of the Issuing Lender pursuant to paragraph (i) in reimbursement of payment made under the Letter of Credit or interest thereon, each Lender shall, on demand of the Revolving Credit Agent, forthwith return to the Revolving Credit Agent or the Issuing Lender its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any amounts so returned by the Revolving Credit Agent or the Issuing Lender plus interest thereon from the date such demand is made to but not including the date such amounts are returned by such Lender to the Revolving Credit Agent or the Issuing Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate.

(e) Role of Issuing Lender. (i) Each Issuing Lender will exercise and give the same care and attention to any Letter of Credit as it gives to its other letters of credit and similar obligations.

(ii) Each Lender participating in a Letter of Credit agrees that, in paying any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than the sight draft and certificates required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person delivering any such document. Neither the Issuing Lender nor any of its representatives, officers, employees or agents shall be liable to any Lender for:

(A) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Majority Lenders;

(B) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or

(C) the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any other document contemplated hereby or thereby.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and any other agreements or instrument relating to any Letter of Credit to reimburse each Issuing Lender shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such other agreement or instrument under all circumstances, including, without limitation, the following circumstances:

(A) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (collectively, the “L/C Related Documents”);

(B) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the obligations of Borrower in respect of any Letter of Credit or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the L/C Related Documents;

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

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

(E) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any Collateral Document, for all or any of the obligations of Borrower in respect of any Letter of Credit;

(F) the occurrence of the Revolving Credit Termination Date at any time prior to, on, or after the date the payment or disbursement by the Issuing Lender giving rise to such reimbursement obligation was made;

(G) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including, without limitation, any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Borrower or any Guarantor but excluding (i) any action constituting the Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or (ii) payment or performance; or

(H) the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default.

(g) Requests Regarding Renewals and Extensions of Renewable Letters of Credit. Borrower shall deliver to the Revolving Credit Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender, not earlier than thirty (30) days, and not later than fourteen (14) days, before notice of non-renewal or non-extension is required under the Renewable Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, a written request for renewal or extension of each Renewable Letter of Credit which Borrower desires to renew or extend. Such request shall specify the required date for notice by the Issuing Lender of non-renewal or non-extension under the Renewable Letters of Credit and include a certification by Borrower that as of the date of such request, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and all of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the Collateral Documents are true and correct in all material respects, except as to representations and warranties contained in Section 5.09 and which expressly relate to an earlier date and for changes which are contemplated or permitted by this Agreement. No such request shall be made by Borrower which would cause the expiry date of such Renewable Letter of Credit to extend beyond March 31, 2008. For purposes of this Section 2.19(g), valid delivery by Borrower of the required request shall be deemed to have occurred only upon actual receipt of such notice by the Revolving Credit Agent and the Issuing Lender. If Borrower fails to deliver such a notice within such period with respect to such Renewable Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender of such Renewable Letter of Credit shall deliver appropriate notices of non-extension or non-renewal with respect to such Renewable Letter of Credit.

(h) Increased Costs. If any change in any requirement of law shall either (i) impose, modify or deem or make applicable any reserve, special deposit, assessment or similar requirement against Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Lender or against a Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit or (ii) impose on any Issuing Lender or any Lender participating in such Letter of Credit (a “Participating Lender”) any other condition regarding this Agreement or any Letter of Credit, and the result of any event referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above shall be to increase the cost to such Issuing Lender of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit, or to such Participating Lender of purchasing or maintaining such participating interest in any Letter of Credit (which increase in cost shall be the result of such Issuing Lender’s, or Participating Lender’s, as the case may be, reasonable allocation of the aggregate of such cost increases resulting from such events), then from time to time following notice by such Issuing Lender (or such Participating Lender, as the case may be) to Borrower, Borrower shall pay to such Person, as specified by such Person, additional amounts which shall be sufficient to compensate such Person for such increased cost, together with interest on each such amount from the date demanded until payment in full thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Reference Rate plus the Applicable Margin plus 2% per annum. A certificate submitted by such Issuing Lender or Participating Lender to Borrower concurrently with any such demand by such Person, shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, as to the amount thereof.

(i) Cash Collateralization. If any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding on the date the Revolving Credit Termination Date, Borrower shall either (A) deposit in an account with the Revolving Credit Agent, in the name of the Revolving Credit Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to 103% of the aggregate undrawn amount under all such Letters of Credit as of such date or (B) provide one or more letters of credit from an issuer reasonably satisfactory to Issuing Lender naming the Revolving Credit Agent as beneficiary in a face amount equal to such Letter of Credit which remains

outstanding on the Revolving Credit Termination Date. The obligation to deposit such cash collateral or provide such back-to-back letter(s) of credit shall become effective immediately, and such deposit, if applicable, shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind. Such deposit shall be held by the Revolving Credit Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of Borrower hereunder. The Revolving Credit Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which types of investments shall be made at the reasonable discretion of the Revolving Credit Agent and at Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Revolving Credit Agent to reimburse the Issuing Lender for the amount of any drawing under any such Letter of Credit for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of Borrower in respect of drawings under such Letters of Credit at such time.

Section 2.20 Call Protection.

(a) If for any reason the Term Loans are repaid other than by conversion into the loans under the Exit Credit Agreement or the Alternative Exit Credit Agreement pursuant to Section 10.15(a) or (b), Borrower shall pay to the Lenders concurrently with such repayment an exit fee equal to 1% of the principal amount repaid; and

(b) If (i) the Term Loans are repaid from any source other than by conversion into the loans under the Alternative Exit Credit Agreement pursuant to Section 10.15(b) (other than by reason of the failure of a condition precedent to such conversion to be satisfied or waived by Majority Lenders (excluding conditions precedent the satisfaction of which are within the control of Borrower)) and (ii) the Consummation of the Plan of Reorganization includes any transaction of any kind with, or any funding or financing of any kind provided by, Harbinger Capital Partners Masters Fund I Ltd. or Liberation Investment Group LLC, or any respective Affiliate thereof, then Borrower shall pay (A) to the Lenders concurrently with such repayment an additional exit fee equal to the sum of (x) 2.5% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan Facility and (y) 3.5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments in effect as of the Closing Date and (B) to the Arranger any unpaid balance of the Alternative Exit Facility Commitment Fee (as defined in the Alternative Exit Credit Facility Fee Letter).

No site visit or observation by the Agents shall result in a waiver of any default of Borrower or any Subsidiary or impose any liability on the Agents or Lenders. In no event shall any site visit or observation by the Agents be a representation that Hazardous Materials are or are not present in, on, or under such property, or that there has been or shall be compliance with any Hazardous Materials Laws. Neither Borrower nor any other party is entitled to rely on any site visit or observation by the Agents. The Agents owe no duty to inform Borrower or any other party of any Hazardous Materials or any other adverse condition affecting any such property.

Agreement, which agreement shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit J (an “Assignment and Acceptance”).

(b) Any Lender may, without the consent of the applicable Loan Agent or Borrower, any other Lender to whom obligations are owed in respect of Letters of Credit issued by it or Borrower, at any time sell to one or more Lenders or other entities (a “Participant”) participating interests in any Loans, any Revolving Credit Commitment, any Letter of Credit participations or any reimbursement obligations of such Lender in respect of any Letter of Credit hereunder; provided, however, that such participation shall not increase the amount payable by Borrower in respect of taxes pursuant to Section 2.16 and, provided further that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder; (iii) Borrower and the applicable Loan Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; (iv) no Lender shall transfer, grant or assign any participation under which the Participant shall have rights to approve any amendment or waiver of this Agreement except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (A) extend the scheduled date for the payment of any installment of principal or interest of the Loans in which such Participant is participating, (B) reduce the amount of any scheduled installment of principal of the Loans hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (C) reduce the interest rate applicable to Loans hereunder in which such Participant is participating (other than as a result of a waiver of (i) default interest or (ii) any Default or Event of Default), (D) reduce any fees or other amounts payable hereunder in which such Participant is participating (other than as a result of a waiver of (i) default interest or (ii) any Default or Event of Default); and (v) such Lender shall require its Participants to comply with the provisions of Section 10.03(b). Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.16, 2.17 and 2.18 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Loans and Letters of Credit outstanding from time to time as if it was a Lender; provided that, in the case of Sections 2.16, 2.17 and 2.18, such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of said Section and provided, further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred.

(c) Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Assignee (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee such financial and other information in such Lender’s possession concerning Borrower or its Subsidiaries which has been delivered to Lenders pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to Lenders by Borrower in connection with Lenders’ credit evaluation of Borrower prior to entering into this Agreement; provided that any Transferee or prospective Transferee shall have been advised of and agreed to be bound by the provisions of Section 9.18.

(d) Nothing herein shall prohibit any Lender from pledging or collaterally assigning any Note in accordance with applicable law, including to any Federal Reserve Bank. In the case of any Lender that is a fund that invests in bank loans, such Lender may, without the consent of Borrower or the applicable Loan Agent, collaterally assign or pledge all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, including the Term Loans and Term Notes or any other instrument evidencing its rights as a Lender under this Agreement, to any holder of,

trustee for, or any other representative of holders of, obligations owed or securities issued, by such fund, as security for such obligations or securities.

(e) The Revolving Credit Agent shall, on behalf of Borrower, maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.01 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Revolving Credit Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Revolving Lenders and the Revolving Credit Commitments of, and the principal amount of the Revolving Loans owing to, each Revolving Credit Lender from time to time and the Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of Borrower, maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.01 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Term Lenders and the Term Loan Commitments of, and the principal amount of the Term Loans owing to, each Term Lender from time to time. The entries in the Revolving Credit Register and the Register, as applicable, shall constitute prima facie evidence of the foregoing information, in the absence of manifest error, and Borrower, each other Credit Party, the applicable Loan Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loans and any Notes evidencing the Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. Any assignment of any Loan, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Revolving Credit Register and the Register, as applicable, (and each Note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or transfer of all or part of an Loan evidenced by a Note shall be registered on the Revolving Credit Register and the Register, as applicable, only upon surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of the Note evidencing such Loan, accompanied by a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance, and thereupon one or more new Notes shall be issued to the designated Assignee. Borrower shall be entitled to review the Revolving Credit Register and the Register from time to time during regular business hours.

(f) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an Assignor, an Assignee and any other Person whose consent is required by this Section 9.04, together with payment to the applicable Loan Agent of the registration and processing fee referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 9.04, the applicable Loan Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Revolving Credit Register or Register, as applicable, on the effective date determined pursuant thereto.

Section 9.05 Delays and Waivers. No delay or omission by any Agent, Arranger or Lenders to exercise any right under this Agreement, the Collateral Documents or any instrument or agreement contemplated hereunder or thereunder shall impair any such right, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver thereof. No waiver of any single breach or default under this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default. Any waiver, consent or approval under this Agreement must be in writing to be effective.

Section 9.06 Costs and Expenses. Borrower agrees:

(a) to pay or reimburse any Agent, the Arranger and the Issuing Lenders within thirty days of written demand (together with backup documentation supporting such reimbursement request) for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by them in connection with the development, preparation, delivery, administration and execution of, and any

amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement, any Collateral Document and any other documents or instruments prepared in connection herewith or therewith, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and the consummation of the transactions to occur on the Closing Date, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of one primary counsel to the Agents and one local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction with respect thereto;

(c) to pay or reimburse Agents or the Arranger within thirty days of written demand (together with backup documentation supporting such reimbursement request) for all reasonable appraisal, accounting, audit, search, recordation and filing fees, incurred or sustained by them in connection with the matters referred to under paragraphs (a) and (b) above.

Section 9.07 Telephone Indemnity. Borrower shall protect Lenders and the Agents and hold them harmless from and not liable for any and all actual loss, damage, claim or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees of one counsel) incurred by Agents or Lenders in connection with or in relation to any act or any failure to act upon telephone instructions received by Lenders or Agents from Borrower or any Person who has identified himself as an authorized officer of Borrower, whether or not the instructions are actually given by an authorized officer of Borrower except to the extent such action or failure to act is a result of any such Agent’s or any such Lender’s (or their officer’s, director’s, employee’s or agent’s) gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct as determined by a final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction).

Section 9.08 Other Indemnity. (a) Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Agents, each Lender and each of their respective officers, directors, agents and employees, (each an “Indemnified Person”), from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel) which may be incurred by or asserted against Agents, the Arranger any Lender, any Issuing Lender or any such other indemnified Person in connection with or arising out of any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to this Agreement, the Loans, the Term Loan Commitments, the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Letters of Credit, the use of proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit or the negotiation and preparation of documentation in connection herewith or therewith, whether or not any Agent, the Arranger, any Issuing Lender or such Lender is a party thereto; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to

indemnify any such Indemnified Person from or against any portion of such claims, damages, liabilities or to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is (i) determined by a final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of such Indemnified Person or its officers, directors, employees or agents to the extent acting at the direction of such Indemnified Person, (ii) from a material breach of a Credit Document by such Indemnified Person or its officers, directors, employees or agents acting at the direction of such Indemnified Person, or (iii) from a dispute is solely between Indemnified Persons or their respective officers, affiliates, directors, employees, agents, advisors, controlling persons, members and successors and permitted assigns of such Indemnified Person not arising from an act or omission of Borrower or its Subsidiaries. The foregoing indemnification shall be binding on Borrower forever, and shall survive repayment of the Obligations and the release of any liens under the Collateral Documents. (a) Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Agents, the Issuing Lenders and each Lender, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees of one counsel for all Indemnified Persons) to the extent no actual conflict exists, which may be incurred by or asserted against any Agent, Issuing Lender or Lender or any such indemnified Person in connection with or arising out of any investigation, litigation or proceeding, or any action taken by any Person, with respect to any Hazardous Materials Claim arising out of or related to any of the Properties which are subject to a Lien in favor of the Collateral Agent as contemplated hereunder (including, without limitation, any Hazardous Materials Claim arising out of or relating to any (i) release of Hazardous Materials on, upon, under or into any such Properties or (ii) damage to real or personal property or natural resources and/or harm or injury to Persons alleged to have resulted from such release of Hazardous Materials on, upon or into any such Properties); provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any such indemnified Person from or against any portion of such loss, liability, damage or expense arising out of the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of such indemnified Person. The foregoing indemnification is the personal obligation of Borrower, binding on Borrower forever, and shall survive repayment of the Obligations and release of record of the mortgages or deeds of trust in favor of Collateral Agent encumbering the Properties and any transfer of the Properties by foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure. The foregoing indemnification shall not be affected or negated by any exculpatory clause that may be contained in any of the Collateral Documents. It is expressly understood and agreed that to the extent that Collateral Agent and/or Lenders are strictly liable under any such law, regulation, ordinance or requirement, Borrower’s obligation to Collateral Agent and Lenders under this indemnity shall likewise be without regard to fault on the part of Borrower or its Subsidiaries with respect to the violation or condition which results in liability to Collateral Agent and/or Lenders; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any such indemnified Person from or against any portion of such loss, liability, damage or expense arising after the Collateral Agent shall have foreclosed or otherwise taken possession of such property which is caused by any action or inaction of the Collateral Agent after such time.

(c) The Agents and each Lender agree that in the event that any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is asserted or threatened in writing or instituted against it or any of its officers, directors, agents and employees, or trustees and advisors of an Approved Fund, or any remedial, removal or response action is requested of it or any of its officers,

directors, agents and employees, or trustees and advisors of an Approved Fund, for which any Agent or Lender may desire indemnity or defense hereunder, such Agent or Lender shall promptly notify Borrower in writing.

(d) Borrower at the request of any Agent or Lender, shall have the obligation to defend against such investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested remedial, removal or response action, and any Agent, in any event, may participate in the defense thereof with legal counsel of such Agent’s choice if such Agent asserts defenses that raise potential conflicts of interest with Borrower. No action taken by legal counsel chosen by any Agent or any Lender in defending against any such investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested remedial, removal or response action shall vitiate or in any way impair Borrower’s obligation and duty hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and each Lender (unless such action is grossly negligent or constitutes bad faith or willful misconduct).

RELATION OF LENDERS

Section 10.01 Agents; Enforcement of Guaranties. (a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Agents to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other instrument or agreement contemplated hereunder and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or such other instrument or agreement, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Lender agrees that no Lender shall have the right individually to enforce the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or the other Collateral Documents and hereby appoints the Collateral Agent to act upon the direction of the Majority Lenders to enforce each such Agreement. The Operating Banks agree that none of such Lenders shall take any action to enforce the Operating Bank Guaranty, respectively, until the Collateral Agent has commenced to enforce the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement upon the direction of the Majority Lenders pursuant to the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in such other instrument or agreement, no Agent shall have any duties or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any such other instrument or agreement or otherwise exist against any Agent. Each Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects with reasonable care.

(b) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to enter into the Collateral Documents to which it is a party and to take all action contemplated by the Collateral Agency Agreement; provided that the Collateral Agent shall not enter into or consent to any amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision contained in any Collateral Document or take any action thereunder without the direction of the Loan Agent. Except as permitted by Section 10.13, the Loan Agents shall not direct the Collateral Agent to enter into or consent to any amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of any Collateral Document or direct the Collateral Agent to take any action thereunder without the prior consent of the Majority Lenders. Each Lender agrees that no Lender shall have any right individually to seek or to enforce or to realize upon the security granted to the Collateral Agent under the Collateral Documents, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of all of the Secured Creditors upon the terms of the Collateral Documents and the Collateral Agreement.

Section 10.02 Pro Rata Sharing.

All sums realized under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement (or any guaranty executed and delivered pursuant to Section

3.04) and all proceeds of Collateral distributed to Lenders under the Collateral Agency Agreement (subject to Section 10.13(f)) shall be allocated as set forth in the Collateral Agency Agreement.

Section 10.03 Set-off. (a) Subject to the rights of the Secured Creditors with respect to any Collateral and in addition to any Liens granted by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to the Collateral Agent and any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such Lien or rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Secured Creditor is hereby authorized by Borrower at any time and from time to time with the prior consent of the applicable Loan Agent, without notice to Borrower, or to any other Person (any such notice being hereby expressly waived) to set-off all deposits (excluding payroll, tax, petty cash and trust accounts) of Borrower and any other Debt at any time held or owing by such Secured Creditor to or for the credit of Borrower against and on account of the Secured Obligations owing to such Secured Creditor irrespective of whether or not the applicable Loan Agent or such Secured Creditor shall have made demand under this Agreement or any Collateral Document and to the extent the Secured Obligations are matured. Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express consent of the applicable Loan Agent, set-off against the Obligations or any other amounts owing to such Lender any accounts of Borrower now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each Lender further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so by the applicable Loan Agent, take or cause to be taken any action, including, without limitation, the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings, to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral for the purpose of which is, or could be, to give such Lender any preference or priority against any other Secured Creditor with respect to the Collateral.

(b) If at any time or times any Lender shall receive by payment, foreclosure, set-off or otherwise, any proceeds of any Collateral or any payments with respect to the Secured Obligations arising under, or relating to, this Agreement or the Collateral Documents, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such Lender or any Issuing Lender from the applicable Loan Agent or Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Collateral Agency Agreement, such Lender shall promptly purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Secured Obligations owed to the other Lenders (or, after an Event of Default, the other Secured Creditors) so that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (or, after an Event of Default among the Secured Creditors as provided for in the Collateral Agency Agreement); provided, however, that if all or part of such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but without interest except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with the recovery of the excess payment.

(c) Each Secured Creditor other than in its capacity as a Lender shall be entitled to any rights conferred upon it under this Agreement or any of the Collateral Documents only on the condition and understanding that it shall be bound by the terms of this Section 10.03 to the same extent as Lenders.

Section 10.04 Liability of Agents. No Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement (except for its or such Person’s or its officers, directors, employees agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates) own gross negligence or willful misconduct or bad faith) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by Borrower or any Subsidiary or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or in any other instrument or agreement contemplated hereunder or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other instrument or agreement contemplated hereunder or for the value of any Collateral or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other instrument or agreement contemplated hereunder or for any failure of Borrower or any Subsidiary to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other instrument or agreement contemplated hereunder, or to inspect the properties, books or records of Borrower or any Subsidiary.

Section 10.05 Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, telecopy, telex or telephone message, electronic message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrower or any Guarantor), independent accountants and other experts selected by any Agent. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other instruction or agreement contemplated hereunder unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other instrument or agreement contemplated hereunder in accordance with a request or consent of the Majority Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all Lenders.

Section 10.06 Approvals; Amendments. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 10.06, this Agreement and the Collateral Documents may be amended or waived only upon the prior express written consent of Borrower or Guarantors, as the case may be, party thereto and the Majority Lenders. Upon any occasion requiring or permitting an approval, consent, waiver, election or other action on the part of Majority Lenders, action shall be taken by an Agent for and on behalf or for the benefit of all Lenders upon the direction of Majority Lenders, and any such action shall be binding on all Lenders; provided, however, that (i) unless each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (it being understood that, for the purposes of Section 10.06 (d), (e) or (g), all Lenders shall be deemed to be directly affected thereby) agree in writing, no amendment, modification, consent or waiver shall be effective which:

(a) increases the amount of any Commitment of any Lender or extends the expiry date thereof,

(b) reduces interest (other than as a result of waiving a Default, Event of Default or default interest), principal, commissions or fees owing hereunder,

(d) releases all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their obligations under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or, subject to the proviso in Section 10.13(c) and Section 10.13(e), releases all or substantially all of the Collateral (except (i) in connection with dispositions thereof permitted under this Agreement, (ii) as permitted by subsections 10.13(b) or (d), (iii) any Guarantor may be released from its obligations under the Credit Documents if all of the Capital Stock of, or substantially all of the assets of, such Guarantor are disposed of in a transaction permitted by this Agreement or (iv) as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement),

(e) reduces the percentage specified in the definition of “Majority Lenders”,

(f) amends or waives the provisions of this Section 10.06, or

(g) reduces a specified percentage required for consent in any other provision requiring consent of a specified percentage of Lenders without consent of such percentage of Lenders, and

(ii) unless (x) all Revolving Credit Lenders, if there are two (2) or less Revolving Credit Lenders or (y) the Majority Revolving Lenders, and the Revolving Credit Agent agree in writing, no amendment, modification, consent or waiver shall be effective which waives or otherwise adversely effects the rights of the Revolving Credit Lenders under 10.13(g).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Agents may enter into technical amendments to the Collateral Agency Agreement without the consent of the Lenders, (ii) the Agents may enter into amendments to the Operating Bank Guaranty replacing Annex I thereto without the consent of the Lenders, (iii) no amendment, modification, consent or waiver shall be effective which reduces the amount of any mandatory prepayment under Section 2.13 without the consent of the holders of at least a majority in interest of each Facility. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (other than any to which its consent is required under clauses (a) through (g) above), except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that any Commitment or Loan held or deemed held by any Defaulting Lender shall be excluded from a vote of the Lenders hereunder requiring any consent of the Lenders).

Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.06, if the Agents and Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of the Credit Documents, then the Agents and Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall

become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Credit Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the Majority Lenders within five Banking Days following receipt of notice thereof.

Section 10.07 Notice of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest, commissions and fees payable to Agent hereunder for the account of Lenders, unless such Agent shall have received notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that any Agent receives such a notice, such Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to Lenders. The Agents shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default as shall be requested by the Majority Lenders in accordance with Article VIII; provided, however, that unless and until the Agents shall have received any such request, any such Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as such Agent shall deem advisable in the best interests of Lenders.

Section 10.08 Credit Decision. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither Agents nor any other Lender nor any of their respective Affiliates nor any respective officer, director, employee, agent or attorney-in-fact of any of them has made any representation or warranty to it and that no act by any Agent or any other Lender hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent or any other Lender to such Lender. Each Lender represents to each Agent and to each other Lender that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and Guarantors and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and extend credit to Borrower hereunder (without reliance on any Agent or any other Lender). Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and Guarantors (without reliance on any Agent or any other Lender). Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to Lenders by an Agent hereunder, the Agents shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Borrower or any Guarantor which may come into the possession of any Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

Section 10.09 Lenders’ Indemnity. Each Lender agrees to indemnify each Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), ratably, according to the sum of (i) its Revolving Credit Commitments (or, if the Revolving Credit Commitments have been terminated, the sum of its outstanding Revolving Loans, participating interests in Letters of Credit and unreimbursed drawings in respect of Letters of Credit), and (ii) its outstanding Term Loans, in each case determined in effect on the

date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such sum immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following the repayment of the Loans or the Letters of Credit) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any document contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by any Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse each Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and the allocated cost of in-house counsel) incurred by any such Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any Collateral Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein to the extent that such Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrower.

Section 10.10 Agents as Lender. Each Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent; and the term “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity. Each Agent and its subsidiaries and affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as agent or trustee for other lenders to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates as if it were not an Agent.

Section 10.11 Notice of Transfer. Subject to Section 9.04(a), the applicable Loan Agent may deem and treat a Lender party to this Agreement as the owner of such Lender’s portion of the Credit for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof executed by such Lender shall have been received by the applicable Loan Agent.

Section 10.12 Resignation of Agent. Any Agent may resign upon forty-five (45) days’ written notice to Lenders and Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint (or, in the case of the resignation of the Collateral Agent, shall have the right to direct the Administrative Agent to appoint) a successor to such Agent (which shall be either a Lender or a commercial bank with capital and surplus in excess of $500,000,000 and which successor, unless an Event of Default under Section 8.01 has occurred and is continuing, shall be reasonably acceptable to Borrower). If no successor shall have accepted such appointment within forty-five (45) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, the retiring Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor with the consent of Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Upon the acceptance by the successor of its appointment hereunder, the successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights and obligations of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its obligations under this Agreement. The provisions of this Article X and Sections 9.06, 9.07 and

9.08 shall inure to the benefit of the retiring Agent as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under this Agreement.

Section 10.13 Collateral Matters. (a) Each Loan Agent may from time to time, before or after the occurrence of an Event of Default, make such disbursements and advances to the Collateral Agent (“Agent Loans”) which Loan Agent, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable to preserve or protect the Collateral or any portion thereof, to enhance the likelihood or maximize the amount of repayment of the Obligations or to pay any other amount chargeable to Borrower or any Guarantor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any Collateral Document, including, without limitation, costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 9.06; provided, however, that the Agent Loans shall not exceed $250,000 without the prior written consent of Majority Lenders. The Agent Loans shall be repayable on written demand and be secured by the Collateral. The Agent Loans shall not constitute Loans but shall otherwise constitute Obligations hereunder. The applicable Loan Agent shall notify each Lender in writing of each such Agent Loan, which notice shall include a description of the purpose of such Agent Loan. Without limitation to its obligations pursuant to Section 10.09, each Lender agrees that it shall make available to the applicable Loan Agent, upon the applicable Loan Agent’s demand, in immediately available funds, the amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of each such Agent Loan. If such funds are not made available to the applicable Loan Agent by such Lender within one (1) Banking Day after the applicable Loan Agent’s demand therefor, the applicable Loan Agent will be entitled to recover any such amount from such Lender together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate for each day during the period commencing the date of such demand and ending on the date such amount is received.

(b) Lenders acknowledge that Borrower and its Subsidiaries have created and will create Liens permitted by this Agreement on a substantial portion of their property, including Collateral, to secure obligations owed to Persons other than the Secured Creditors and that Borrower and its Subsidiaries from time to time have requested and will request the Loans Agents and Collateral Agent to execute and deliver releases and subordinations with respect to Liens on the Collateral created by the Collateral Documents in connection with transactions permitted by this Agreement (such as Borrower and its Subsidiaries obtaining financing on equipment and other property secured by Liens described in the definition of “Permitted Liens”). Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the applicable Loan Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to direct the Collateral Agent to release or subordinate on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent any Lien granted to or held by the Collateral Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and Term Loan Commitments, as applicable, and indefeasible payment in full and satisfaction of all of the Obligations; or (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if the sale or disposition is permitted hereunder; or (iii) constituting property in which neither Borrower nor any Guarantor owned an interest at the time the Lien was granted or at any time thereafter; or (iv) constituting property leased to Borrower or any Guarantor; or (v) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Majority Lenders (subject to Section 10.06(d)); or (vi) subject to a Permitted Lien or other Lien permitted by Section 7.03; or (vii) not owned by Borrower or any Guarantor. Upon request by the applicable Loan Agent at any time, Lenders will confirm in writing the applicable Loan Agent’s authority to so direct the release of particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 10.13(b). The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Loan Agents, at their option and discretion (1) to direct the Collateral Agent to release and subordinate, on terms reasonably

satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and the Borrower, Liens on Collateral which is also subject to Permitted Liens, (2) to execute any release, subordination or acknowledgement documents requested by Borrower in order to effect any release or subordination described in this paragraph (b) and (3) to execute acknowledgements with respect to leases to the effect that the Property subject to such leases is not subject to the Liens created by the Credit Documents or Collateral, and the Loan Agents and the Collateral Agent shall have no liability to the Secured Creditors for actions taken pursuant to this paragraph (b). This paragraph (b) is intended as an authorization by the Lenders to permit the Loan Agents and the Collateral Agent to take the actions described herein and neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person shall be entitled to the benefits hereof. In reliance on and pursuant to the foregoing authority the Loan Agents and the Collateral Agent may enter into subordination agreements and take other actions requested by Borrower in order to provide assurance to purchase money financing sources and their assignees and successors of their priority in particular items of Collateral, notwithstanding that such financing sources and their assignees and successors may have failed to maintain perfected first priority security interests thereon.

(c) Without in any manner limiting any Agent’s authority to act without any specific or further authorization or consent by the Majority Lenders (as set forth in Section 10.13(b) above), each Lender agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by Borrower, the authority to direct the release of Collateral conferred upon the Loan Agents under clauses (i) through (vii) of Section 10.13(b) above. Upon receipt by any Loan Agent of confirmation from the Majority Lenders of its authority to direct the release of any particular item or types of Collateral, such Loan Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by Lenders to) direct the Collateral Agent to execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Creditors herein or pursuant hereto upon such Collateral; provided, however, that (i) such Loan Agent shall not be required to direct the Collateral Agent to execute any such document on terms which, in such Loan Agent’s opinion, would expose any Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of Borrower and its Subsidiaries in respect of) all interests retained by Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including (without limitation) the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

(d) The Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the Loan Agents and Collateral Agent are authorized to release the Liens in favor of the Secured Creditors upon the termination of the Commitments, payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Secured Obligations owing as of the date of such termination (other than contingent indemnification obligations). The Lenders authorize the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver any documentation evidencing the release of such Liens.

(e) No Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to any Lender to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Liens granted to the Loan Agents or the Collateral Agent pursuant to any Collateral Document have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to

continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Loan Agents or Collateral Agent in this Section 10.13 or in any of the Collateral Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, each of the Loan Agents and Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given each Loan Agent’s and Collateral Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that the Loan Agents and Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender (except as specifically provided in this Agreement and the Collateral Documents).

EACH LENDER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE LOAN AGENTS AND COLLATERAL AGENT SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR, AND SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY OR OBLIGATION WITH RESPECT TO, THE VALIDITY, EFFECTIVENESS, GENUINENESS, ENFORCEABILITY OR SUFFICIENCY OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES, THE COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS, ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT OR AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER, ANY ACTION TAKEN OR NOT TAKEN OR ANY DECISION MADE BY ANY PERSON (OTHER THAN ANY AGENT) WITH RESPECT TO ANY THEREOF OR WITH RESPECT TO THE COLLATERAL, THE FAILURE OF BORROWER OR ANY SUBSIDIARY TO PERFORM ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER, ANY MISREPRESENTATION BY BORROWER OR ANY SUBSIDIARY HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER, OR THE VALUE OF ANY COLLATERAL OR THE CREATION, ATTACHMENT, PERFECTION OR PRIORITY OF ANY SECURITY INTEREST OR LIEN PURPORTED TO BE CREATED BY THE COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS, THIS AGREEMENT OR SUCH OTHER INSTRUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS AND THAT THE AGENTS HAVE UNDERTAKEN NO INDEPENDENT REVIEW OR ANALYSIS WITH RESPECT TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING.

(f) The benefit of the Collateral Documents and of the provisions of this Agreement relating to the Collateral shall extend to and be available in respect of the Secured Obligations (as defined in the Collateral Agency Agreement) solely on the condition and understanding, as among the Agents and Lenders, that (i) the Secured Obligations shall be entitled to the benefit of the Collateral to the extent expressly set forth in the Collateral Documents, and to such extent the Collateral Agent shall hold, and have the right and power to act with respect to, the Collateral on behalf of and as agent for the holders of the Secured Obligations; but Collateral Agent in its separate capacity as agent hereunder is acting solely as agent for the Lenders and shall have no separate fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure or other obligations whatsoever to any holder of Secured Obligations; and (ii) all matters, acts and omissions relating in any manner to the Collateral, or the omission, creation, perfection, priority, abandonment or release of any Lien, shall be governed solely by the provisions of this Agreement and the Collateral Documents, and no separate Lien, right, power or remedy shall arise or exist in favor of any Lender under any separate instrument or agreement or in respect of any Secured Obligations; and (iii) each Lender shall be bound by all actions taken or omitted, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Collateral Documents, by the Collateral Agent, at the direction of any Loan Agent on behalf of the Lenders; and (iv) no holder of Secured Obligations shall exercise any right of setoff, bank’s lien or similar right except as expressly provided in Section 10.03.

(g) Any Collateral proceeds received by any Loan Agent from the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 4(b) clause Third of the Collateral Agency Agreement shall be applied and paid to the Obligations as follows:

First: To each Loan Agent, the Revolving Syndication Agent, and the Collateral Agent in an amount equal to all costs and expenses (other than principal and interest) incurred in connection with performing their respective duties hereunder and under the Collateral Documents, including, without limitation, those related to or in connection with the administration of this Agreement or the enforcement of their respective rights under the Collateral Documents;

Second: To the Revolving Credit Lenders and the Issuing Lenders in an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid interest and accrued and unpaid fees and commissions payable pursuant to Section 2.14 outstanding in respect of Revolving Loans hereunder or under the Revolving Notes and, if such proceeds shall be insufficient to pay such amounts in full, then ratably (without priority of any one over any other) to the Revolving Credit Lenders and the Issuing Lenders in proportion to the unpaid amounts of such accrued and unpaid interest, fees and commissions owed to the respective Revolving Credit Lenders or Issuing Lender, as the case may be;

Third: To the Revolving Credit Lenders in an amount equal to all unpaid principal of the outstanding Revolving Loans, to the Issuing Lenders in the amount of any unreimbursed Letter of Credit drawings (to the extent they have not been converted into a Revolving Loan), to Revolving Credit Agent for deposit as cash collateral, for application against drawings under any Letters of Credit, up to an amount equal to the undrawn amount of such Letters of Credit, to Interest Expense Hedging Agreement Counterparties, up to an amount equal to all unpaid Obligations in respect of Interest Expense Hedging Agreements and, if such proceeds shall be insufficient to pay such amounts in full, then ratably (without priority of any one over any other) to the Revolving Credit Lenders, the Issuing Lenders, the Revolving Credit Agent and the Interest Expense Hedging Agreement Counterparties in proportion of such amounts owed under this clause Third to the respective Revolving Credit Lender, Issuing Lender, Revolving Credit Agent or Interest Expense Hedging Agreement Counterparties, as the case may be;

Fourth: To the Term Lenders in an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid interest and accrued and unpaid fees and commissions payable pursuant to Section 2.14 outstanding hereunder or under the Term Notes and, if such proceeds shall be insufficient to pay such amounts in full, then ratably (without priority of any one over any other) to the Term Lenders in proportion to the unpaid amounts of such accrued and unpaid interest, fees and commissions owed to the respective Term Lender;

Fifth: To the Term Lenders in an amount equal to all unpaid principal of the outstanding Term Loans, if such proceeds shall be insufficient to pay such amounts in full, then ratably (without priority of any one over any other) to the Term Lenders, in proportion of such amounts owed under this clause Fifth to the respective Term Lender;

Sixth: To any accrued and unpaid fees, commissions and other sums payable pursuant to this Agreement and not paid pursuant to clauses Second through Fifth of this provision and, if such proceeds shall be insufficient to make such payments in full, then ratably (without priority of any one obligation over any other) in proportion to the unpaid amounts of accrued and unpaid fees, commissions and other sums so owed; and

Seventh: Any surplus then remaining shall be paid to Borrower or its successors or assigns, or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.
