Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrowers pursuant to the next following paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the respective Issuing Bank or, to the extent that the Revolving Credit Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Revolving Credit Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement shall not constitute a Revolving Credit Loan and shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligations to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

          (f) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall reimburse such Issuing Bank in respect of such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the Business Day immediately following the day that any Borrower receives such notice; provided that the Borrowers may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with a Revolving Credit ABR Borrowing in the Dollar Equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

resulting Revolving Credit ABR Borrowing. If the Borrowers fail to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Credit Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrowers in respect thereof and such Revolving Credit Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof.

          (g) Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ obligations to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the respective Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply strictly with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder, except in each case for errors or omissions resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Bank or its employees or agents.

          No Issuing Bank shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit by the respective Issuing Bank or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the respective Issuing Bank, except in each case for errors or omissions resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Bank or its employees or agents; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank, any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or the related drafts or documents, if done in accordance with the standard of care specified in the NYUCC, shall be binding on the Borrowers and shall not result in any liability of such Issuing Bank to the Borrowers.

          (h) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank for any Letter of Credit shall, within a reasonable time following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly after such examination notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligations to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Credit Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

          (i) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank for any Letter of Credit shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrowers reimburse such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans; provided that, if the Borrowers fail to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section, then the rate

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

specified in Section 2.11(c) shall apply on each such past-due day. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for account of such Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for account of such Revolving Credit Lender to the extent of such payment.

          (j) Replacement of an Issuing Bank. Any Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time at the designation of the Borrowers and the consent of the successor Issuing Bank (with notice to the Administrative Agent). The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.10(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued by it thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to include such successor or any previous Issuing Bank, or such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

          (k) Cash Collateralization. If either (i) the Loans shall have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8.01 (an “Acceleration Event”) or (ii) the Borrowers shall be required to provide cover for LC Exposure pursuant to Section 2.09(b) or Section 2.19(d)(ii), the Borrowers shall immediately deposit into an account designated by the Administrative Agent an amount in Dollars in cash equal to, in the case of an Acceleration Event, the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit as of such date and, in the case of cover pursuant to Section 2.09(b), the amount required under Section 2.09(b), as the case may be. The Borrowers shall not at any time thereafter permit the amount of such deposit to be less than the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit at such time. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent in Permitted Investments and at the Borrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the LC Exposure at such time or, with the consent of Revolving Credit Lenders with LC Exposure representing more than 50% of the total LC Exposure, be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement.

          SECTION 2.05 Funding of Borrowings

          (a) Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, Local Time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrowers by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrowers designated by the Borrowers in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that Revolving Credit ABR Borrowings made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.04(f) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the respective Issuing Bank.

          (b) Presumption by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date (or, in the case of any ABR Borrowing, prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date such ABR

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

Borrowing is to be made) of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If the Borrowers and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by the Borrowers for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

          SECTION 2.06 Interest Elections.

          (a) Elections by the Borrowers. The Loans comprising each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing (other than any Eurocurrency Borrowing made pursuant to Section 2.01(a) or Section 2.01(b)), shall have the Interest Period specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrowers may elect to convert such Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type or to continue such Borrowing as a Borrowing of the same Type and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, may elect the Interest Period therefor, all as provided in this Section; provided that (i) a Borrowing denominated in one Currency may not be continued as, or converted to, a Borrowing in a different Currency, (ii) no Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency may be continued if, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, (iii) a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency may not be converted to a Borrowing of a different Type and (iv) the Borrowers may at any time during the pendency of an Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Loan provide an Interest Election Request hereunder to select a new Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Loan, the applicable LIBO Rate for such Eurocurrency Loan to be effective on the Business Day specified in such request, which effective date shall be not less than the second Business Day following such request (and such request shall otherwise be given in accordance with, and comply with the requirements, if applicable, of, paragraph (c) below), in which case the relevant Lenders shall be entitled to receive amounts payable under Section 2.15 as if such Lenders had received a prepayment of such Loan on such effective date. The Borrowers may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

          (b) Notice of Elections. To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrowers were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrowers.

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

          (c) Content of Interest Election Requests. Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

     (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

     (ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

     (iii) whether, in the case of a Borrowing denominated in Dollars, the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurocurrency Borrowing; and

     (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurocurrency Borrowing, the Interest Period therefor after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period” and permitted under Section 2.02(d).

          (d) Notice by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders. Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

          (e) Failure to Elect; Events of Default. If the Borrowers fail to deliver a timely and complete Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, then, unless such Eurocurrency Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

          Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders so notifies the Borrowers, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (A) no outstanding Borrowing denominated in Dollars may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Borrowing, (B) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period therefor and (C) no outstanding Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency may have an Interest Period of more than one month’s duration.

          SECTION 2.07 Termination and Reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments.

          (a) Scheduled Termination. Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

          (b) Voluntary Termination or Reduction. The Borrowers may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (i) each partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments pursuant to this Section shall be in an amount that is $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) the Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans in accordance with Section 2.09, the total Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the total Revolving Credit Commitments.

          (c) Notice of Voluntary Termination or Reduction. The Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least two Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments delivered

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

by the Borrowers may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrowers (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

          (d) Effect of Termination or Reduction. Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permanent. Subject to Section 2.19(h), each reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made ratably among the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments.

          SECTION 2.08 Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

          (a) Repayment. The Borrowers hereby unconditionally promise to pay the Loans as follows:

     (i) to the Administrative Agent for account of the Revolving Credit Lenders the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans on the Maturity Date,

     (ii) to the Administrative Agent for account of the Term Lenders the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans on each Principal Payment Date falling in the month and year set forth below in the aggregate principal amount equal to (A) the percentage set forth opposite such Principal Payment Date multiplied by (B) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans as of the Amendment Effective Date, subject to adjustment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section:

Principal Payment Date		Percentage
September, 2014			7.50	%
December, 2014			7.50	%
March, 2015			8.75	%
June, 2015			8.75	%

September, 2016			12.5	%
Maturity Date			12.5	%

     (iii) to the extent any Term Loan remains outstanding on the Maturity Date, to the Administrative Agent for account of the applicable Term Lenders the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans on the Maturity Date.

          In addition to the foregoing, if any Obligor incurs any Subordinated Indebtedness that requires pursuant to the terms thereof a redemption or principal repayment with respect to such Subordinated Indebtedness prior to the date that is six months after the Maturity Date in an aggregate principal amount for all such redemptions and repayments exceeding $250,000,000 (the first date on which the aggregate principal amount of all such redemptions and repayments made on or prior to such date shall exceed $250,000,000, the “Test Date”), then on the date of the incurrence of such Subordinated Indebtedness:

     (A) the Maturity Date shall be brought forward such that the Maturity Date shall occur on the date (the “Accelerated Maturity Date”) that is six months prior to the Test Date; and

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

     (B) the amortization schedule for the Term Loans contained in paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section shall be adjusted by adding to the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans required to be repaid on the Accelerated Maturity Date an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans scheduled to be repaid after the Accelerated Maturity Date (as determined before the incurrence of such Subordinated Indebtedness).

          (b) Adjustment of Amortization Schedule. Any prepayment of the Term Loans shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of the Term Loans to be made pursuant to this Section in accordance with Section 2.09.

          (c) Manner of Payment. Prior to any repayment or prepayment of any Borrowings of any Class hereunder, and subject (in the case of a prepayment) to any applicable provisions of Section 2.09, the Borrowers shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings of the applicable Class to be paid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such selection not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, two Business Days before (or, in the case of ABR Borrowings, the same Business Day of) the scheduled date of such repayment; provided that each repayment of Borrowings of any Class shall be applied to repay any outstanding ABR Borrowings of such Class before any other Borrowings of such Class. If the Borrowers fail to make a timely selection of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid or prepaid, such payment shall be applied, first, to pay any outstanding ABR Borrowings of the applicable Class and, second, to other Borrowings of such Class in the order of the remaining duration of their respective Interest Periods (the Borrowing with the shortest remaining Interest Period to be repaid first). Each payment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in such Borrowing.

          (d) Maintenance of Records by Lenders. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice records evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts and Currency of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

          (e) Maintenance of Records by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall maintain records in which it shall record (i) the amount and Currency of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and each Interest Period therefor, (ii) the amount and Currency of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount and Currency of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

          (f) Effect of Entries. The entries made in the records maintained pursuant to paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section shall be presumptively correct evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein absent manifest error; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such records or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

          (g) Promissory Notes. Any Lender may request that Loans of any Class made by it be evidenced by a promissory note, which promissory note shall (i) in the case of any Revolving Credit Loan, be substantially in the form of Exhibit F and (ii) in the case of any Term Loan, be substantially in the form of Exhibit G. In such event, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 10.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

          SECTION 2.09 Prepayment of Loans.

          (a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, subject to the requirements of this Section. Any prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this paragraph shall be applied to the installments thereof in the manner directed by the Borrowers.

          (b) Mandatory Prepayments—Revolving Credit Loans—Foreign Currency Valuations. On each Quarterly Date prior to the Maturity Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure. For the purpose of this determination, the outstanding principal amount of any Loan that is denominated in any Foreign Currency shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the amount in the Foreign Currency of such Loan, determined as of such Quarterly Date. If on the date of such determination the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the sum of (i) 105% of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments as then in effect plus (ii) the amount then on deposit in the account contemplated by Section 2.04(k), the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and the Borrowers thereof and the Borrowers shall, within five Business Days after their receipt of such notice, prepay the Revolving Credit Loans (and/or provide cover for LC Exposure as specified in Section 2.04(k)) in such amounts as shall be sufficient to eliminate such excess.

          (c) Notices, Etc. The Borrowers shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time (or, in the case of a Borrowing denominated in a Foreign Currency, 11:00 a.m., London time), two Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid and, in the case of a mandatory prepayment, a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.07, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.07. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the relevant Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.11 and all other amounts payable under this Agreement, including under Section 2.15. Amounts prepaid in respect of Term Loans may not be reborrowed.

          SECTION 2.10 Fees.

          (a) Commitment Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue on the average daily unused amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the Amendment Effective Date to but excluding the date such Revolving Credit Commitment terminates at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on each Quarterly Date and on the date the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate, commencing on December 31, 2011. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). For purposes of computing commitment fees with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and LC Exposure of such Lender.

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

          (b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay (i) to the respective Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate of 0.125% on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Amendment Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder, and (ii) to the Administrative Agent for account of each Revolving Credit Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Amendment Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure at a rate per annum equal to (i) the Applicable Rate applicable to interest on Revolving Credit Eurocurrency Loans minus (ii) the fronting fee referred to in clause (i) above. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including each Quarterly Date shall be payable on the third Business Day following such Quarterly Date, commencing on December 31, 2011; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to any Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 Business Days after receipt of a reasonably detailed written invoice therefor. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

          (c) Administrative Agent Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.

          (d) Payment of Fees. All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in Dollars and immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the respective Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of facility fees and participation fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

          SECTION 2.11 Interest.

          (a) ABR Loans. The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

          (b) Eurocurrency Loans. The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

          (c) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrowers hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided above or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

          (d) Payment of Interest. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Credit Loans, upon termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand, (ii) in the event of any

repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of a Revolving Credit ABR Loan prior to the Maturity Date), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in Dollars prior to the end of the Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Borrowing shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

          (e) Computation. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be presumptively correct absent manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrowers, deliver to the Borrowers a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.11(a) and Section 2.11(b).

          SECTION 2.12 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Loan (the Currency of such Loan herein called the “Affected Currency”):

     (a) the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be presumptively correct absent manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Affected Currency for such Interest Period, or

     (b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders in respect of the relevant Facility that by reason of any changes arising after the Amendment Effective Date the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Affected Currency determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,

then the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given, (i) if the Affected Currency is Dollars (x) any Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any Loans denominated in Dollars under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurocurrency Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period with respect thereto, to ABR Loans or (ii) if the Affected Currency is an Agreed Foreign Currency, the request for any Eurocurrency Loans under the relevant Facility to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be ineffective. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent (which action the Administrative Agent will take promptly after the conditions giving rise to such notice no longer exist), no further Eurocurrency Loans under the relevant Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrowers have the right to convert Loans under the relevant Facility to Eurocurrency Loans. If the Borrowers are not permitted to continue a Eurocurrency Loan which is denominated in a Foreign Currency pursuant to this Section, such Eurocurrency Loan shall automatically be redenominated in Dollars on the last day of the applicable Interest Period in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent thereof.

     SECTION 2.13 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof, in each case, first made after the Amendment Effective Date, shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurocurrency Loans as contemplated by this Agreement, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof (a “Rate Determination Notice”) to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, and (a) the commitment

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

of such Lender hereunder to make Eurocurrency Loans, continue Eurocurrency Loans as such and convert ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans shall be suspended during the period of such illegality, (b) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars, if any, shall be converted automatically to ABR Loans denominated in Dollars 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 and (c) (i) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurocurrency Loans denominated in any Agreed Foreign Currency, if any, shall be converted automatically on the respective last days of the then current Interest Periods with respect to such Loans (an “Affected Interest Period”) to Eurocurrency Loans denominated in such Agreed Foreign Currency having the next shortest Interest Period which is not affected by such adoption of or change in any Requirement of Law and (ii) if all Interest Periods are Affected Interest Periods in respect of such Eurocurrency Loans denominated in any Agreed Foreign Currency, during the 30-day period following any such Rate Determination Notice (the “Negotiation Period”) the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall negotiate in good faith with a view to agreeing upon a substitute interest rate basis which shall reflect the cost to the applicable Lenders of funding such Loans from alternative sources (a “Substitute Basis”), and if such Substitute Basis is so agreed upon during the Negotiation Period, such Substitute Basis shall apply in lieu of the Adjusted LIBO Rate to all Interest Periods for the Eurocurrency Loans denominated in such Agreed Foreign Currency of the applicable Lenders commencing on or after the first day of an Affected Interest Period, until the circumstances giving rise to such Rate Determination Notice have ceased to apply. If a Substitute Basis is not agreed upon during the Negotiation Period, each affected Lender shall determine (and shall certify from time to time in a certificate delivered by such Lender to the Administrative Agent setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of the computation of such amount) the rate basis reflecting the cost to such Lender of funding its Eurocurrency Loan denominated in such Agreed Foreign Currency for any Interest Period commencing on or after the first day of an Affected Interest Period, until the circumstances giving rise to such Rate Determination Notice have ceased to apply, and such rate basis shall be presumptively correct, absent manifest error, and shall apply in lieu of the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the relevant Interest Periods. If a Rate Determination Notice has been given, then until such Rate Determination Notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no Eurocurrency Loans of the applicable Lenders denominated in such Agreed Foreign Currency shall have an Interest Period having a duration equal to an Affected Interest Period. The Borrowers may elect to prepay the Eurocurrency Loans denominated in such Agreed Foreign Currency of the applicable Lenders pursuant to Section 2.09(a) at any time; provided that if the Borrowers elect not to prepay such Eurocurrency Loans and the Borrowers are not permitted to continue such Eurocurrency Loan pursuant to this Section, such Eurocurrency Loan shall automatically be redenominated in Dollars on the last day of the applicable Interest Period in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent thereof. If any such conversion of a Eurocurrency Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 2.15. For the purposes of this Section, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all rules, regulations, orders, requests, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all rules, regulations, orders, requests, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to have been adopted and gone into effect from and after the Amendment Effective Date.

          SECTION 2.14 Increased Costs.

          (a) Increased Costs Generally. Except with respect to Taxes (which shall be governed by Section 2.16), if the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority first made, in each case, subsequent to the Amendment Effective Date:

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

     (i) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, any requirement to maintain liquid assets, 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 that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Adjusted LIBO Rate hereunder; or

     (ii) shall impose on such Lender any other condition not otherwise contemplated hereunder;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender, by an amount which such Lender reasonably deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Eurocurrency Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit (in each case hereunder), or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrowers shall promptly pay such Lender, in Dollars, within ten Business Days after the Borrowers’ receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor (showing with reasonable detail the calculations thereof), any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

          (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Lender or any holding company controlling such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority first made, in each case, subsequent to the Amendment Effective Date shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such holding company’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, within ten Business Days after submission by such Lender to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a reasonably detailed written request therefor (consistent with the detail provided by such Lender to similarly situated borrowers), the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender, in Dollars, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such holding company on an after-tax basis for such reduction.

          (c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender to the Borrowers (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be presumptively correct in the absence of manifest error.

          (d) Delay in Requests. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any amounts incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrowers of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such 180-day period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.

          (e) Dodd-Frank and Basel III. For the purposes of this Section, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all rules, regulations, orders, requests, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all rules, regulations, orders, requests, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to have been adopted and gone into effect from and after the Amendment Effective Date.

          SECTION 2.15 Break Funding Payments. The Borrowers agree to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense (other than lost profits, including the loss of Applicable Rate) that such Lender may actually sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by any Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans after such Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by any Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurocurrency Loans after such Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (regardless of whether such notice is permitted to be revocable under Section 2.09(c) and is revoked in accordance herewith), (c) the making of a payment, prepayment, conversion or continuation of Eurocurrency Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default) or (d) the assignment as a result of a request by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.18(b) of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period therefor. A reasonably detailed certificate as to (showing in reasonable detail the calculation of) any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrowers by any Lender shall be presumptively correct in the absence of manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof.

          SECTION 2.16 Taxes.

          (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of each Obligor hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any Obligor shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Obligor shall make such deductions and (iii) such Obligor shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

          (b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Obligors. Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the Obligors shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

          (c) Indemnification by the Obligors. The Obligors shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Bank, within 30 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Obligors hereunder and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate prepared in good faith as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Obligors by a Lender or an Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, shall be presumptively correct absent manifest error.

          (d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Obligor to a Governmental Authority, such Obligor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

          (e) Status of Foreign Lenders. Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Borrowers and to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) (i) two accurate and complete copies of IRS Form W-8ECI or W-8BEN, or, (ii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming exemption from United States federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit E and two accurate and complete copies of IRS Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions or successors to such forms, in each case properly completed and duly executed by such Foreign Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, United States federal withholding tax on all payments by an Obligor under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Foreign Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Foreign Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Foreign Lender. Each Foreign Lender shall (i) promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrowers and Administrative Agent (or any other form of certification adopted by the United States taxing authorities for such purpose) and (ii) take such steps as shall not be disadvantageous to it, in its sole judgment, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its lending office pursuant to Section 2.18(a)) to avoid any requirement of applicable laws of any such jurisdiction that any Borrower make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Foreign Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Foreign Lender is not legally able to deliver. If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender fails to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Withholding Agent such documentation as shall be reasonably requested by the Withholding Agent sufficient for the Withholding Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such applicable reporting requirements.

          (f) Status of U.S. Lenders. Each Lender other than a Foreign Lender (a “U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent two accurate and complete copies of IRS Form W-9, or any subsequent versions or successors to such form. Such forms shall be delivered by each U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement. In addition, each U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such U.S. Lender. Each U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certifications to the Borrowers and Administrative Agent (or any other form of certification adopted by the United States taxing authorities for such purpose).

          (g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Obligor or with respect to which any Obligor has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly pay over such refund to such Obligor (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Obligor under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the applicable Obligor, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Obligor (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority; provided further that such Obligor shall not be required to repay to the Administrative Agent or the Lender an amount in excess of the amount paid over by such party to such Obligor pursuant to this Section. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person.

          SECTION 2.17 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Setoffs.

          (a) Payments by the Obligors. Each Obligor shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.14, Section 2.15 or Section 2.16, or otherwise), or under any other Loan Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein), prior to 2:00 p.m., Local Time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account, except as otherwise expressly provided in the relevant Loan Document and except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and payments pursuant to Section 2.14, Section 2.15, Section 2.16 and Section 10.03, which shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension at the then applicable rate. All amounts owing under this Agreement (including commitment fees, payments required under Section 2.14, and payments required under Section 2.15 relating to any Loan denominated in Dollars, but not including principal of, and interest on, any Loan denominated in any Foreign Currency or payments relating to any such Loan required under Section 2.15, which are payable in such Foreign Currency) or under any other Loan Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein) are payable in Dollars. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Borrowers shall fail to pay any principal of any Loan when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise), the unpaid portion of such Loan shall, if such Loan is not denominated in Dollars, automatically be redenominated in Dollars on the due date thereof (or, if such due date is a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor, on the last day of such Interest Period) in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent thereof on the date of such redenomination and such principal shall be payable on demand; and if the Borrowers shall fail to pay any interest on any Loan that is not denominated in Dollars, such interest shall automatically be redenominated in Dollars on the due date therefor (or, if such due date is a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor, on the last day of such Interest Period) in an amount equal to the Dollar Equivalent thereof on the date of such redenomination and such interest shall be payable on demand.

          (b) Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, to pay principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

          (c) Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein (including Section 2.19): (i) each Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans shall be made from the Revolving Credit Lenders, each payment of commitment fee under Section 2.10 in respect of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be made for account of the Revolving Credit Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments under Section 2.07 shall be applied to the

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Revolving Credit Commitments; (ii) each Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans shall be allocated pro rata among the Revolving Credit Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Revolving Credit Commitments (in the case of the making of Revolving Credit Loans) or their respective Revolving Credit Loans that are to be included in such Borrowing (in the case of conversions and continuations of Revolving Credit Loans); (iii) the Borrowing of Term Loans shall be allocated pro rata among the Term Lenders according to the amounts set forth on Schedule 1 hereto (in the case of the making of Term Loans) or their respective Term Loans that are to be included in such Borrowing (in the case of conversions and continuations of Term Loans); (iv) each payment or prepayment of principal of Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans by the Borrowers shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans of such Class held by them; and (v) each payment of interest on Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans by the Borrowers shall be made for account of the relevant Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders.

          (d) Sharing of Payments by Lenders. Subject to Section 2.19, if any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (A) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (B) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them; provided that:

     (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

     (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by any Obligor pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to any Obligor or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).

Each Obligor consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Obligor rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Obligor in the amount of such participation.

          (e) Payments by the Borrowers; Presumptions by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or an Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Agents or any Lender against the Borrowers.

          (f) Certain Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(e), 2.05(b), 2.17(e) or 10.03(c) then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Administrative Agent or the applicable Issuing Bank to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) until such time as the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and the Issuing Banks each agree that such Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to fail to make such payment, hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under such Sections; in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

          SECTION 2.18 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

          (a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.13, 2.14, 2.16(a) or 2.16(c) with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrowers, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided that (i) such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage and (ii) nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrowers or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.13, 2.14 or 2.16(a). The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

          (b) Replacement of Lenders. The Borrowers shall be permitted to replace (at their sole expense) with a financial institution or financial institutions any Lender that (x) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.14, 2.15 (to the extent a request made by a Lender pursuant to the operation of Section 2.15 is materially greater than requests made by other Lenders) or 2.16 or gives a notice of illegality pursuant to Section 2.13, (y) is a Defaulting Lender, or (z) that has refused to consent to any waiver or amendment with respect to any Loan Document that requires the consent of all of the Lenders and has been consented to by the Required Lenders; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.15) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) the replacement financial institution or financial institutions, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank to the extent that an assignment to such replacement financial institution of the rights and obligations being acquired by it would otherwise require the consent of the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 10.04, (iv) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.04, (v) the Borrowers shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in respect of any period prior to the date on which such replacement shall be consummated, (vi) if applicable, the replacement financial institution or financial institutions shall consent to such amendment or waiver, (vii) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender, and (viii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter.

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

          SECTION 2.19. Defaulting Lenders.

          Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

          (a) commitment fees shall cease to accrue from and after the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(a);

          (b) if such Defaulting Lender is an Issuing Bank, fronting fees shall cease to accrue from and after the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender on the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.10(b)(i);

          (c) the Revolving Credit Commitment, Revolving Credit Exposure and Term Loans, if any, of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification pursuant to Section 10.02), provided that any amendment, waiver or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders or that would (i) change the percentage of Revolving Credit Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans or LC Exposures, or the number of Lenders, that shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder, (ii) amend Section 10.02 in a manner which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other Lenders and is adverse to such Defaulting Lender or this Section 2.19, (iii) increase or extend the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender or subject such Defaulting Lender to any additional obligations (it being understood that any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default shall not constitute an increase or extension of the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender or an additional obligation of any Lender), (iv) reduce the principal of the Loans made by such Defaulting Lender or any LC Disbursements payable hereunder to such Defaulting Lender or (v) postpone the scheduled date for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loans made by such Defaulting Lender or any LC Disbursements payable hereunder to such Defaulting Lender, shall in each case require the consent of such Defaulting Lender (which consent shall be deemed to have been given if such Defaulting Lender fails to respond to a written request for such consent within 30 days after receipt of such written request);

          (d) if any LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or at any time such Lender remains a Defaulting Lender, then:

     (i) all or any part of such LC Exposure shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Adjusted Applicable Percentages but only to the extent (x) the sum of any Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure plus its Adjusted Applicable Percentage of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure does not exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and (y) the sum of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure does not exceed the total of all Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments (it being understood that such LC Exposure shall not be reallocated after the Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated on the Maturity Date);

     (ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within three Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.04(k) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

     (iii) if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to this Section 2.19(d), the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.10(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (and such fees shall cease to accrue with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure) during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

     (iv) if the LC Exposure of the Non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.19(d), then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.10(a) and 2.10(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such Non-Defaulting Lenders’ Adjusted Applicable Percentages; and

     (v) if any Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is not reallocated pursuant to this Section 2.19(d), then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.10(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the applicable Issuing Bank(s) until such LC Exposure is reallocated;

          (e) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend or increase any Letter of Credit unless such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure that would result from such newly issued, extended or increased Letter of Credit has been or would be, at the time of such issuance, extension or increase, fully allocated among Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.19(d)(i) or fully cash collateralized by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.19(d)(ii);

          (f) in the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and the Issuing Banks each agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and on such date such Defaulting Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Defaulting Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage;

          (g) no reallocation pursuant to paragraph (d) above, nor the operation of any other provision of this Section 2.19, will (i) constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender, or (except with respect to clause (f) above) cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender, or (ii) except as expressly provided in this Section 2.19, excuse or otherwise modify the performance by the Borrowers of their respective obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and

          (h) anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers may terminate the unused amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Defaulting Lender on a non-pro rata basis upon not less than three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), provided that such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

          SECTION 2.20 Joint and Several Liability of the Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, each Borrower hereby accepts joint and several liability hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by Administrative Agent and Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings of the other Borrower to accept joint and several liability for the Borrower Obligations

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

(as hereinafter defined). Each Borrower, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrower, with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Borrower Obligations (including any Borrower Obligations arising under this Section), it being the intention of the parties hereto that all of the Borrower Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each Borrower without preferences or distinction among them. If and to the extent that any Borrower shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Borrower Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the Borrower Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event, the other Borrower will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Borrower Obligations. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower Obligations of each Borrower under the provisions of this Section constitute the absolute and unconditional, full recourse Borrower Obligations of each Borrower, enforceable against each such Person to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, binding effect or enforceability of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other circumstances whatsoever. As used in this Section, “Borrower Obligations” means all liabilities and obligations of every nature of the Borrowers from time to time owed to the Agents, the Issuing Banks, the Lenders or any of them under any Loan Document, whether for principal, interest (including all interest and expenses accrued or incurred subsequent to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings with respect to the Borrowers, whether or not such interest or expenses are allowed as a claim in such proceeding), fees, expenses, indemnification or otherwise and whether primary, secondary, direct, indirect, contingent, fixed or otherwise (including obligations of performance).

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Parent Guarantor hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:

     (i) at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Parent Guarantor, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

     (iv) any lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, any Holder as security for any of the Obligations shall fail to be perfected.

The Parent Guarantor hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any Holder exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Credit Parties under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Obligations.

          SECTION 3.03 Reinstatement. The obligations of the Parent Guarantor under this Article shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Credit Party in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and the Parent Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify each Holder on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including fees of counsel) incurred by such Holder in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

          SECTION 3.04 Subrogation. The Parent Guarantor hereby agrees that until the payment and satisfaction in full of all Obligations (other than any contingent or indemnification obligations) and the expiration and termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and all LC Exposure of the Lenders under this Agreement it shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 3.01, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against any Credit Party or any other guarantor of any of the Obligations or any security for any of the Obligations.

          SECTION 3.06 Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Article is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Obligations whenever arising.

          SECTION 3.07 General Limitation on Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state or Federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of the Parent Guarantor under Section 3.01 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 3.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Parent Guarantor, any Holder or any other Person, be automatically limited and

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

ARTICLE IX
AGENCY

          SECTION 9.01 The Agents. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints Citibank to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes each Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

          Each Person serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include each Person serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Each such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Obligors or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

          Neither Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither Agent shall:

     (a) be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

     (b) have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that such Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and

     (c) except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, or shall be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Obligor or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

          Neither Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 10.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to such Agent by the Obligors, a Lender or an Issuing Bank.

          Neither Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent.

          Each Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, each Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing Bank unless such Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for an Obligor), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

          Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through its Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of each Agent and any such sub-agents, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as such Agent.

          Subject to, and effective upon, the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, any Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor with the consent of the Borrowers (which consent (i) shall not be required if a Payment Default or Bankruptcy Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and approved by the Borrowers and shall have accepted such appointment within 45 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders with the consent of the Borrowers (which consent (i) shall not be required if a Payment Default or Bankruptcy Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York and an office in London, England (or a bank having an Affiliate with such an office) having a combined capital and surplus that is not less than $500,000,000 or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor bank, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder. After an Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.03 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent.

          Each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agents or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

          The Agents are hereby irrevocably authorized by each of the Lenders to effect any release or subordination of Liens or Obligations contemplated by Section 10.18.

          SECTION 9.02 Bookrunners, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the bookrunners, arrangers, co-documentation agents or syndication agent listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as an Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank hereunder.

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

The Administrative Agent or the Borrowers may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement); provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

          Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding:

     (x) So long as Citibank or any of its Affiliates is the Administrative Agent, materials required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.01 shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent in an electronic medium in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by e-mail at ***@***. The Credit Parties agree that the Administrative Agent may make such materials, as well as any other written information, documents, instruments and other material relating to a Credit Party, any of its Subsidiaries or any other materials or matters relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, the “Communications”) available to the Lenders by posting such notices on Intralinks or a substantially similar electronic system (the “Platform”). The Borrowers and the Lenders acknowledge that (1) although the Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time, the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution, (2) the Platform is provided “as is” and “as available” and (3) neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates warrants the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the Communications or the Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Communications or the Platform, except to the extent such errors or omissions are due to the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in connection with the Platform.

     (y) Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) (a “Notice”) specifying that any Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such information, documents or other materials to such Lender for purposes of this Agreement; provided that if requested by any Lender, the Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy of the Communications to such Lender by email or telecopier. Each Lender agrees (1) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such Lender’s e-mail address to which a Notice may be sent by electronic transmission (including by electronic communication) on or before the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record an effective e-mail address for such Lender) and (2) that any Notice may be sent to such e-mail address.”

          SECTION 10.02 Waivers; Amendments.

          (a) No Deemed Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay by any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Obligor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

          (b) Amendments. Neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the applicable Credit Parties and the Required Lenders or by the applicable Credit Parties and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of the Security Documents, the Collateral Agent) with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall

     (i) increase any Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender,

     (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon (except for reduction of interest by virtue of a default waiver), or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby,

     (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Revolving Credit Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby,

     (iv) change Section 2.17(c) or (d) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby,

     (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the percentage in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, or

     (vi) release all or substantially all of the (x) Parent Guarantor from its guarantee obligations under Article III, Carried Interest Guarantors from the Carried Interest Guarantee and Security Agreement, the Management Fee Guarantors from the Management Fee Guarantee and Security Agreement or the General Guarantors from the General Guarantee and Security

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

Agreement, or (y) Collateral, without in each case the written consent of each Holder, and in each case except pursuant to a transaction permitted by Section 7.03;

and provided further that (x) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Agent or any Issuing Bank hereunder or under the other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of such Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be and (y) any modification or supplement of Article III shall require the consent of the Parent Guarantor.

          SECTION 10.03 Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

          (a) Costs and Expenses. The Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by each Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of not more than one counsel per jurisdiction (unless multiple counsels are necessary to avoid conflicts of interest) for such Agent), in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof, (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, (iii) all documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender (including the fees, charges and disbursements of not more than one counsel per jurisdiction (unless multiple counsels are necessary to avoid conflicts of interest) for each such Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender) in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit and (iv) all transfer, stamp, documentary or other similar taxes, assessments or charges levied by any governmental or revenue authority in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other document referred to herein or therein and all costs, expenses, taxes, assessments and other charges incurred in connection with any filing, registration, recording or perfection of any security interest contemplated by any Security Document or any other document referred to therein.

          (b) Indemnification by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall indemnify each Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and each Issuing Bank, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related costs and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of not more than one counsel per jurisdiction (unless multiple counsels are necessary to avoid conflicts of interest)) incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by such Borrower or any other Credit Party any Obligor arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of any action, claim, judgment or suite arising out of or in connection with (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by such Borrower or any other Credit Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related costs and expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or the breach of any Loan Document by, such Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates or the directors, officers, employees or advisors of any of them.

          (c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrowers (and, with respect to the guarantees hereunder, the Parent Guarantor) for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by them to any Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Issuing Bank or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Issuing Bank or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against such Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Issuing Bank in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for such Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Issuing Bank in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph (c) are several obligations.

          (d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Obligor shall assert, and each Obligor hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

          (e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor.

          SECTION 10.04 Successors and Assigns.

          (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that none of the Obligors may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder (except pursuant to a transaction permitted hereunder) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, each Issuing Bank, Participants, to the extent provided in paragraph (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each Agent, each Issuing Bank, the Lenders and the Employee Loan Obligee) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

          (b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) to any Person; provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

     (i) Minimum Amounts.

          (A) In the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

          (B) in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Revolving Credit Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of a Revolving Credit Commitment, or $1,000,000, in the case of any assignment in respect of a Term Loan, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Non-Consent Event has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

     (ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Revolving Credit Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations in respect of Revolving Credit Commitments and Term Loans on a non-pro rata basis.

     (iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

          (A) the consent of the Borrowers (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) a Non-Consent Event has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;

          (B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

          (C) the consent of the Issuing Banks shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding).

     (iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

     (v) No Assignment to the Obligors. No such assignment shall be made to any Obligor or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

     (vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15 and Section 10.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment.

          (c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York, New York a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Credit Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be presumptively correct absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

          (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Obligors or any of the Obligors’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (iv) the consent of the Borrowers (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any such participation unless (x) a Non-Consent Event has occurred and is continuing at the time of such participation or (y) such participation is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

          Each Lender that sells a participation pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower and solely for tax purposes, shall maintain a register comparable to the Register on which it shall enter the name and address of each Participant and the economic interests of each Participant in all or a portion of the participating Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it) (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be presumptively correct absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, such Lender shall not be required to disclose the Participant Register except that (i) such Lender shall be required to make its Participant Register available to the Administrative Agent or to the Borrower if requested by the Borrower in connection with the exercise by a related Participant of remedies hereunder and (ii) such Lender shall be required to make its Participant Register available to the Internal Revenue Service if requested by the Internal Revenue Service or the Borrower and to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Service.

          Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the proviso of Section 10.02(b) that directly and

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

adversely affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (e) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(d) as though it were a Lender.

          (e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 and Section 2.16 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrowers’ prior written consent after disclosure of such greater payments. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.16(e) as though it were a Lender and any such Participant shall be deemed to be a Lender for the purposes of the definition of Excluded Taxes.

          (f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

          SECTION 10.05 Survival. All representations and warranties made by the Obligors herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Revolving Credit Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Section 2.14, Section 2.15, Section 2.16, Section 3.03 and Section 10.03 and Article IX shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Revolving Credit Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

          SECTION 10.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and any separate letter agreements among the Obligors and CGMI and certain affiliates thereof, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and certain affiliates thereof and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and certain affiliates thereof, with respect to fees payable thereto and their initial Revolving Credit Commitments and Term Loans and the syndication thereof) constitute the entire contract between and among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

          SECTION 10.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

          SECTION 10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against any and all of the obligations of such Credit Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or such Issuing Bank shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Credit Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender or such Issuing Bank different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender, each Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees to notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

          SECTION 10.09 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Service of Process; Etc.

          (a) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding will be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

          (c) Service of Process. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.01.

          (d) Waiver of Venue. Each party hereto irrevocably waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document brought in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and further irrevocably waives any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

          SECTION 10.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

          SECTION 10.11 No Immunity. To the extent that any Obligor may be or become entitled, in any jurisdiction in which judicial proceedings may at any time be commenced with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, to claim for itself or its properties or revenues any immunity from suit, court jurisdiction, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of a judgment, execution of a judgment or from any other legal process or remedy relating to its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and to the extent that in any such jurisdiction there may be attributed such an immunity (whether or not claimed), each Obligor hereby irrevocably agrees not to claim and hereby irrevocably waives such immunity to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of such jurisdiction.

          SECTION 10.12 European Monetary Union.

          (a) Definitions. As used herein, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

     “EMU” means economic and monetary union as contemplated in the Treaty on European Union.

     “EMU Legislation” means legislative measures of the European Council for the introduction of, changeover to or operation of a single or unified European currency (whether known as the euro or otherwise), being in part the implementation of the third stage of EMU.

     “Euros” or “€” refers to the single currency of Participating Member States of the European Union, which shall be an Agreed Foreign Currency and a Foreign Currency under this Agreement.

     “National Currency” means the Currency, other than the Euro, of a Participating Member State.

     “Participating Member State” means each state so described in any EMU Legislation.

     “Target Operating Day” means any day that is not (i) a Saturday or Sunday, (ii) Christmas Day or New Year’s Day or (iii) any other day on which the Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross Settlement Express Transfer system (or any successor settlement system) is not scheduled to operate (as determined by the Administrative Agent).

     “Treaty on European Union” means the Treaty of Rome of March 25, 1957, as amended by the Single European Act 1986 and the Maastricht Treaty (which was signed at Maastricht on February 7, 1992, and came into force on November 1, 1993).

          (b) Effectiveness of Provisions. The provisions of paragraphs (c) through (h) of this Section shall be effective on the Amendment Effective Date; provided that, if and to the extent that any such provision relates to any state (or the Currency of such state) that is not a Participating Member State

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

on the Amendment Effective Date, such provision shall become effective in relation to such state (and such Currency) at and from the date on which such state becomes a Participating Member State.

          (c) Redenomination and Alternative Currencies. Each obligation under this Agreement of a party to this Agreement which has been denominated in the National Currency of a Participating Member State shall be redenominated in Euros in accordance with EMU Legislation; provided that, if and to the extent that any EMU Legislation provides that following the Amendment Effective Date an amount denominated either in Euros or in the National Currency of a Participating Member State and payable within the Participating Member State by crediting an account of the creditor can be paid by the debtor either in Euros or in such National Currency, any party to this Agreement shall be entitled to pay or repay any such amount either in Euros or in such National Currency.

          (d) Payments by the Administrative Agent Generally. With respect to the payment of any amount denominated in Euros or in a National Currency, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable to the Obligors or any of the Lenders in any way whatsoever for any delay, or the consequences of any delay, in the crediting to any account of any amount required by this Agreement to be paid by the Administrative Agent if the Administrative Agent shall have taken all relevant steps to achieve, on the date required by this Agreement, the payment of such amount in immediately available, freely transferable, cleared funds (in Euros or in such National Currency, as the case may be) to the account of any Lender in the Principal Financial Center in the Participating Member State which the Obligors or such Lender, as the case may be, shall have specified for such purpose. For the purposes of this paragraph, “all relevant steps” means all such steps as may be prescribed from time to time by the regulations or operating procedures of such clearing or settlement system as the Administrative Agent may from time to time determine for the purpose of clearing or settling payments in Euros or such National Currency.

          (e) Certain Rate Determinations.

Without prejudice and in addition to any method of conversion or rounding prescribed by the EMU Legislation, each reference in this Agreement to a minimum amount, or to a multiple of a specified amount, in a National Currency to be paid to or by the Administrative Agent shall be replaced by a reference to such reasonably comparable and convenient amount, or to a multiple of such reasonably comparable and convenient amount, in Euros as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably specify.

          (h) Other Consequential Changes. Without prejudice to the respective liabilities of the Obligors to the Lenders and the Lenders to the Obligors under or pursuant to this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Section, each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably specify to be necessary or appropriate to reflect the introduction of or changeover to the Euro in Participating Member States.

          SECTION 10.13 Judgment Currency. This is an international loan transaction in which the specification of Dollars or any Foreign Currency, as the case may be (the “Specified Currency”), and payment in New York City or the country of the Specified Currency, as the case may be (the “Specified Place”), is of the essence, and the Specified Currency shall be the currency of account in all events relating to Loans denominated in the Specified Currency. The payment obligations of each Obligor under this Agreement shall not be discharged or satisfied by an amount paid in another currency or in another place, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent that the amount so paid on conversion to the Specified Currency and transfer to the Specified Place under normal banking procedures does not yield the amount of the Specified Currency at the Specified Place due hereunder. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in the Specified Currency into another currency (the “Second Currency”), the rate of exchange that shall be applied shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the Specified Currency with the Second Currency on the Business Day next preceding the day on which such judgment is rendered. The obligation of each Obligor in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document (in this Section called an “Entitled Person”) shall, notwithstanding the rate of exchange actually applied in rendering such judgment, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Entitled Person of any sum adjudged to be due hereunder in the Second Currency such Entitled Person may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase and transfer to the Specified Place the Specified Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so adjudged to be due; and each Obligor hereby, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agrees to indemnify such Entitled Person against, and to pay such Entitled Person on demand, in the Specified Currency, the amount (if any) by which the sum originally due to such Entitled Person in the Specified Currency hereunder exceeds the amount of the Specified Currency so purchased and transferred.

          SECTION 10.14 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

          SECTION 10.15 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.

          (a) Treatment of Certain Information. Each Obligor acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and other services may be offered or provided to such Obligor or one or more of its Subsidiaries (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Lender or by one or more subsidiaries or affiliates of such Lender and each Obligor hereby authorizes each Lender to share any information delivered to such Lender by such Obligor and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with the decision of such Lender to enter into this Agreement, to any such subsidiary or affiliate, it being understood that any such subsidiary or affiliate receiving such information shall be bound by the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section as if it were a Lender hereunder. Such authorization shall survive the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Revolving Credit Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

          (b) Confidentiality. Each of the Agents, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives) to any swap or derivative or similar transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to any Credit Party and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (iii) any rating agency, or (iv) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar organization, (g) with the consent of the Borrowers or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to either Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Credit Parties. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Credit Party relating to such Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

          SECTION 10.16 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Credit Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), such Lender may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Credit Parties, which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Credit Parties in accordance with said Act.

          SECTION 10.17 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for each day to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

          SECTION 10.18 Release of Collateral and Obligations; Subordination of Liens. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, upon request of the Borrowers in connection with any disposition of Property permitted by the Loan Documents, the Collateral Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender) take such actions as shall be required to promptly release its security interest in any Collateral being disposed of in such disposition, and to release any Obligations under any Loan Document of any Person being disposed of in such disposition, to the extent necessary to permit consummation of such disposition in accordance with the Loan Documents. Any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any Loan Document relating to any such Property so disposed of (other than Property disposed of to any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries) shall no longer be deemed to be repeated once such Property is so disposed of.

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, when all Obligations (other than any contingent or indemnification obligations not then due) have been satisfied and otherwise paid in full, all Revolving Credit Commitments have terminated or expired and no Letter of Credit (that have not been cash collateralized in accordance with Section 2.04(k)) shall be outstanding, upon request of the Borrowers, the Collateral Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Lender) take such actions as shall be required to promptly release its security interest in all Collateral, and to release all Obligations (other than any contingent or indemnification obligations not then due) under any Loan Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be contingent or indemnification obligations not then due. Any such release of Obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such Obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Credit Party, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Credit Party or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

          SECTION 10.19 Acknowledgments. Each Obligor hereby acknowledges that:

     (a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

     (b) neither the Agents, the Issuing Banks nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to such Obligor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Agents, the Issuing Banks and Lenders, on the one hand, and such Obligor, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of creditor and debtor; and

     (c) no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby.

          SECTION 10.20 Fiscal Year.

Title: Executive Director, JP Morgan

Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

AMENDMENT NO. 1

          AMENDMENT NO. 1 dated as of December 13, 2011 (this “Amendment”) among each of the “Obligors” listed on the signature pages hereto (collectively, the “Obligors”), each of the “Carried Interest Guarantors” listed on the signature pages hereto (collectively, the “Carried Interest Guarantors”), each of the “Management Fee Guarantors” listed on the signature pages hereto (collectively, the “Management Fee Guarantors”, and together with the Obligors and the Carried Interest Guarantors, the “Credit Parties”) and the Lenders party to the Credit Agreement referred to below executing this Amendment.

          The Obligors, the lenders party thereto and Citibank, N.A. as administrative agent and collateral agent, are parties to a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of September 30, 2011 (the “Credit Agreement”). The Obligors and the Lenders wish now to amend the Credit Agreement in certain respects, and accordingly, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

          Section 1. Definitions. Except as otherwise defined in this Amendment, terms defined in the Credit Agreement are used herein as defined therein.

          Section 2. Amendments. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent specified in Section 4 below, but effective as of the date hereof, the Credit Agreement shall be amended as follows:

          2.01. References Generally. References in the Credit Agreement (including references to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby) to “this Agreement” (and indirect references such as “hereunder”, “hereby”, “herein” and “hereof”) shall be deemed to be references to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.

          2.02. Defined Terms. Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

          (a) Definition of “Change in Control”. The definition of “Change in Control” in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by (i) replacing the “.” at the end of clause (c) thereof with “;” and (ii) inserting the following proviso to clauses (a) through (c) thereof as a new line immediately after the end of clause (c) thereof:

“provided that any intraday reorganization with respect to the Obligors occurring in connection with the Company Reorganization shall be deemed not to constitute a “Change in Control” so long as notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this proviso no change when measured from the time immediately prior to the commencement of such intraday reorganization to the time immediately after such intraday reorganization shall constitute a Change in Control.”

          (b) Definition of “Permitted Investors”. The definition of “Permitted Investors” in Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by (i) amending clause (d) thereof to add “or other personal planning vehicle” immediately after the words “any trust” and (ii) amending and restating clause (e) thereof to read in its entirety as follows:

          “(e) any Person, all or substantially all of whose Equity Interests are owned or Controlled by Persons described in clauses (a) through (d) hereof or any group (within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules of the SEC thereunder as in effect on the Effective Date) consisting of such Persons.”

          2.03. Cash Collateralization. Section 2.04(k) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by amending and restating the first and second sentences thereof to read in their entirety as follows:

          “If either (i) the Loans shall have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8.01 (an “Acceleration Event”) or (ii) the Borrowers shall be required to provide cover for LC Exposure pursuant to Section 2.09(b) or Section 2.19(d)(ii), the Borrowers shall immediately deposit into an account designated by the Administrative Agent an amount in Dollars in cash equal to, in the case of an Acceleration Event, the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit as of such date and, in the case of cover pursuant to Section 2.09(b) or Section 2.19(d)(ii), the amount required under Section 2.09(b) or Section 2.19(d)(ii), as the case may be. The Borrowers shall not at any time thereafter permit the amount of such deposit to be less than (i) in the case of an Acceleration Event, the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit at such time and (ii) in the case of cover pursuant to Section 2.09(b) or Section 2.19(d)(ii), the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate amount required under Section 2.09(b) or Section 2.19(d)(ii), as the case may be.”

          2.04. Foreign Currency Valuations. The second sentence of Section 2.09(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

          “For the purpose of this determination, the outstanding principal amount or stated amount of any Loan or Letter of Credit that is denominated in any Foreign Currency shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the amount in the Foreign Currency of such Loan or Letter of Credit, determined as of such Quarterly Date.”

          2.05. Use of Proceeds and Letters of Credit. Section 6.08 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

          “SECTION 6.08 Use of Proceeds and Letters of Credit. The proceeds of the Term Loans will be used by the Obligors and their Subsidiaries for working capital and general corporate purposes, including Investments. The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans and the Letters of Credit will be used by the Obligors and their Subsidiaries (a) for working capital and general corporate purposes, including Investments, and (b) solely in connection with the Specified IPO, for (i) a single dividend prior to the occurrence of such Specified IPO, the amount of Revolving Credit Loan proceeds which can be used in such dividend to be in an amount not greater than $400,000,000 (the “Revolving Credit Dividend Amount”), (ii) the repurchase or redemption of Subordinated Indebtedness from the Mubadala Investors in transactions conducted on an arm’s length basis and (iii) the purchase by the Obligors of direct or indirect investments in any of the Fund Entities from any Person that is an officer, member of the management team or an employee of any Obligor (or any Parent thereof) or an owner as of the Amendment Effective Date (or a former owner) of the Equity Interests of any Obligor (or any Parent thereof) in transactions conducted on an arm’s length basis for fair market value (as defined below), provided that prior to any such dividend, repurchase or redemption contemplated by the foregoing subclauses (i) and (ii) of this clause (b), the Administrative Agent shall have received a solvency certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of each Obligor substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto. On or prior to the date that is 30 days after the Specified IPO Date, or if such date is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day, and solely if Revolving Credit Loans in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Dividend Amount have not been repaid, the Borrowers shall cause the Net Cash Proceeds received from the initial sale of Equity Interests in the Specified IPO to be contributed to the Obligors, which proceeds may thereafter be used by the Obligors and their Subsidiaries only for general corporate purposes. For purposes of this Section 6.08, “fair market value” shall be determined as of the date on which the pricing of the applicable repurchase, redemption or purchase is fixed pursuant to a

binding agreement (and which may be reasonably determined by reference to the carrying values of the relevant investments as of the balance sheet for the fiscal quarter most recently ended for which financial statements have been delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.01). No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly, for any purpose that entails a violation of any of the Regulations of the Board, including Regulations U and X. For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to consummate the Specified IPO after the use of proceeds described in clause (b) of this Section 6.08 has been effected shall not, by itself, constitute a breach of this Agreement or a Default or Event of Default.”

          2.06. Distributions. The first sentence of Section 6.09(d) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by amending and restating the proviso contained therein to read in its entirety as follows:

          “provided that (x) the Obligors and their Subsidiaries may maintain reserves in respect of Carried Interest in accordance and consistent with past practice and (y) the Obligors may permit any of their Subsidiaries to retain Management Fees and Carried Interest in aggregate amounts necessary to satisfy the requirements of relevant Governmental Authorities (including requirements with respect to capitalization).”

          Section 3. Representations and Warranties. Each Credit Party represents and warrants to each Holder that immediately before and after giving effect to this Amendment (a) the representations and warranties set forth in Article IV of the Credit Agreement and in the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on the date hereof as if made on and as of the date hereof (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such specific date), and (b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

          Section 4. Conditions Precedent. The amendments set forth in Section 2 hereof shall become effective, as of the date hereof, upon the execution and delivery of this Amendment by the Obligors, the other Credit Parties and the Required Lenders.

          Section 5. Confirmation of Security Documents and Guarantee. Each Credit Party, by its execution of this Amendment, hereby (i) consents to the amendment to the Credit Agreement contemplated hereby, (ii) unconditionally confirms and ratifies that all of its obligations as a guarantor under the Loan Documents (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to which it is a party shall continue in full force and effect for the benefit of the Holders and (iii) unconditionally confirms that the security interests granted by it under each of the Security Documents to which it is a party shall continue in full force and effect in favor of the Holders with respect to the Credit Agreement as amended hereby.

          Section 6. Miscellaneous. Except as herein provided, the Credit Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect. This Amendment shall constitute a “Loan Document” for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same amendatory instrument and any of the parties hereto may execute this Amendment by signing any such counterpart. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.
