(a)                                 As a sublimit under the Revolving Commitment, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Fronting Bank, in reliance on the agreements of the Lenders set forth in Section 2.8.4, agrees to issue standby or commercial letters of credit (each, a “Letter of Credit”) for the account of the Borrower or, subject to Section 2.8.10, any Subsidiary thereof, which Letters of Credit may be issued on any Business Day from the Closing Date through but not including the thirtieth (30th) Business Day prior to the Maturity Date in such form as may be approved from time to time by Fronting Bank; provided, that Fronting Bank shall not issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, (a) the L/C Obligations would exceed the L/C Sublimit or (b) the Revolving Outstandings would exceed the Revolving Commitment.

(b)                                 Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be denominated in Dollars, (ii) expire on a date no more than twelve (12) months after the date of issuance or last renewal of such Letter of Credit (subject to automatic renewal for additional one (1) year periods pursuant to the terms of the Letter of Credit Application or other documentation acceptable to Fronting

25

Bank), which date shall be no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the Maturity Date and (iii) be subject to the Uniform Customs, in the case of a commercial Letter of Credit, or ISP98, in the case of a standby Letter of Credit, in each case as set forth in the Letter of Credit Application or as determined by Fronting Bank and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the laws of the State of New York.

(c)                                  Fronting Bank shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit hereunder if (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain Fronting Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Applicable Law applicable to Fronting Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over Fronting Bank shall prohibit, or request that Fronting Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon Fronting Bank with respect to letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular any restriction or reserve or capital requirement (for which Fronting Bank is not otherwise compensated) not in effect on the Closing Date, or any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable, in effect or known to Fronting Bank as of the Closing Date and that Fronting Bank in good faith deems material to it, or (ii) the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 are not satisfied.  References herein to “issue” and derivations thereof with respect to Letters of Credit shall also include extensions or modifications of any outstanding Letters of Credit, unless the context otherwise requires.  Fronting Bank shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless Fronting Bank has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of cash collateral, satisfactory to Fronting Bank (in its sole discretion) with Borrower or such Defaulting Lender to eliminate the Fronting Bank’s actual or potential fronting exposure (after giving effect to Section 3.15.1(d)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other then outstanding Letters of Credit as to which Fronting Bank has actual or potential fronting exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.

2.8.2                     Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit.  Borrower may from time to time request that Fronting Bank issue a Letter of Credit by delivering to Fronting Bank at its applicable office (with a copy to Agent at Agent’s Office) a Letter of Credit Application therefor, completed to the satisfaction of Fronting Bank, and such other certificates, documents and other papers and information as Fronting Bank or Agent may request.  Upon receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, Fronting Bank shall process such Letter of Credit Application and the certificates, documents and other papers and information delivered to it in connection therewith in accordance with its customary procedures and shall, subject to Section 2.8.1 and Section 4, promptly issue the Letter of Credit requested thereby (but in no event shall Fronting Bank be required to issue any Letter of Credit earlier than three (3) Business Days after its receipt of the Letter of Credit Application therefor and all such other certificates, documents and other papers and information relating thereto) by issuing the original of such Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof or as otherwise may be agreed by Fronting Bank and Borrower.  Fronting Bank shall promptly furnish to Borrower and Agent a copy of such Letter of Credit and Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the issuance and upon request by any Lender, furnish to such Lender a copy of such Letter of Credit and the amount of such Lender’s participation therein. Each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the additional terms and conditions of the letter of credit agreement and related documents, if any, required by Fronting Bank in connection with

26

the issuance thereof (each, as supplemented, modified, amended, extended, restated or supplanted, a “Letter of Credit Agreement”).

2.8.3                     Commissions and Other Charges.

(a)                                 Letter of Credit Commissions.  Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the account of Fronting Bank and the L/C Participants, a letter of credit commission with respect to each issuance of a Letter of Credit in the amount equal to (i) in the case of commercial Letters of Credit, the applicable amount under Fronting Bank’s generally applicable schedule of fees and charges then in effect for such issuance and (ii) in the case of standby Letters of Credit, the daily amount available to be drawn under such standby Letters of Credit times the Applicable LIBOR Margin with respect to Revolving Loans that are LIBOR Rate Loans (determined, in each case, on a per annum basis).  Such commission shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, on the Maturity Date and thereafter on demand of Agent.  Agent shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, distribute to Fronting Bank and the L/C Participants all commissions received pursuant to this Section 2.8.3 in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Revolving Commitment.

(b)                                 Fronting Fee. Borrower shall pay to Fronting Bank, at any time that Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is not Fronting Bank, a fronting fee as agreed to by Fronting Bank and Borrower.

(c)                                  Other Fees, Costs, Charges and Expenses.  In addition to the foregoing fees and commissions, Borrower shall pay or reimburse Fronting Bank for such normal and customary fees, costs, charges and expenses as are incurred or charged by Fronting Bank in issuing, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit issued by it.

Any letter of credit fees or other amounts described above not yet paid that are otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided cash collateral satisfactory to Fronting Bank shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in the respective Pro Rata Shares allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 3.15.1(d) with the balance of such unpaid fee, if any, payable to Fronting Bank for its own account.

2.8.4                     L/C Participations.

(a)                                 Fronting Bank irrevocably agrees to grant and hereby grants to each L/C Participant, and, to induce Fronting Bank to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each L/C Participant irrevocably agrees to accept and purchase and hereby accepts and purchases from Fronting Bank, on the terms and conditions hereinafter stated, for such L/C Participant’s own account and risk an undivided interest equal to such L/C Participant’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Commitment in Fronting Bank’s obligations and rights under and in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by it hereunder and the amount of each draft paid by Fronting Bank thereunder.  Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with Fronting Bank that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit issued by Fronting Bank for which Fronting

27

Bank is not reimbursed in full by Borrower through a Revolving Loan or otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to Fronting Bank upon demand at Fronting Bank’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Commitment of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed.

(b)                                 Upon becoming aware of any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to Fronting Bank pursuant to Section 2.8.4(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by Fronting Bank under any Letter of Credit, issued by it, Fronting Bank shall notify Agent of such unreimbursed amount and Agent shall notify each L/C Participant (with a copy to the Fronting Bank) of the amount and due date of such required payment and such L/C Participant shall pay to Agent (which, in turn shall pay Fronting Bank) the amount specified on the applicable due date.  If any such amount is paid to Fronting Bank after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to Fronting Bank on demand, in addition to such amount, the product of (i) such amount, times (ii) the daily average Federal Funds Rate as determined by Agent during the period from and including the date such payment is due to the date on which such payment is immediately available to Fronting Bank, times (iii) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360.  A certificate of Fronting Bank with respect to any amounts owing under this Section shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  With respect to payment to Fronting Bank of the unreimbursed amounts described in this Section, if the L/C Participants receive notice that any such payment is due (A) prior to 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day, such payment shall be due that Business Day, and (B) after 1:00 p.m. on any Business Day, such payment shall be due on the following Business Day.

(c)                                  Whenever, at any time after Fronting Bank has made payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and has received from any L/C Participant its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Commitment of such payment in accordance with this Section, Fronting Bank receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from Borrower or otherwise), or any payment of interest on account thereof, Fronting Bank will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, that in the event that any such payment received by Fronting Bank shall be required to be returned by Fronting Bank, such L/C Participant shall return to Fronting Bank the portion thereof previously distributed by Fronting Bank to it.

2.8.5                     Reimbursement Obligation of Borrower.  In the event of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, Borrower agrees to reimburse (either with the proceeds of a Revolving Loan as provided for in this Section or with funds from other sources), in same day funds, Fronting Bank on each date on which Fronting Bank notifies Borrower of the date and amount of a draft paid by it under any Letter of Credit for the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any amounts referred to in Section 2.8.3(c) incurred by Fronting Bank in connection with such payment.  Unless Borrower shall immediately notify Fronting Bank that Borrower intends to reimburse Fronting Bank for such drawing from other sources or funds, Borrower shall be deemed to have timely given a Notice of Borrowing to Agent requesting that the Lenders make a Revolving Loan bearing interest at the Base Rate on the applicable repayment date in the amount of (i) such draft so paid and (ii) any amounts referred to in Section 2.8.3(c) incurred by Fronting Bank in connection with such payment, and the Revolving Lenders shall make a

28

Revolving Loan bearing interest at the Base Rate in such amount, the proceeds of which shall be applied to reimburse Fronting Bank for the amount of the related drawing and such fees and expenses.  Each t Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to fund a Revolving Loan in accordance with this Section to reimburse Fronting Bank for any draft paid under a Letter of Credit issued by it is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, non-satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.6 or Section 4.  If Borrower has elected to pay the amount of such drawing with funds from other sources and shall fail to reimburse Fronting Bank as provided above, the unreimbursed amount of such drawing shall bear interest at the rate which would be payable on any outstanding Base Rate Loans which were then overdue from the date such amounts become payable (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) until payment in full.

2.8.6                     Obligations Absolute.  Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.8 (including, without limitation, the Reimbursement Obligation) shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any set off, counterclaim or defense to payment which Borrower may have or have had against Fronting Bank or any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person.  Borrower also agrees that Fronting Bank and the L/C Participants shall not be responsible for, and Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligation under Section 2.8.5 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among Borrower and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of Borrower against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee.  Fronting Bank shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it, except for errors or omissions caused by Fronting Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final nonappealable judgment.  Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by Fronting Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct shall be binding on Borrower and shall not result in any liability of Fronting Bank or any L/C Participant to Borrower.  The responsibility of Fronting Bank to Borrower in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit issued to it shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment substantially conforms to the requirements under such Letter of Credit.

2.8.7                     Effect of Letter of Credit Application and Letter of Credit Agreement.  To the extent that any provision of any Letter of Credit Application or any Letter of Credit Agreement related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 2.8, the provisions of this Section 2.8 shall apply.

2.8.8                     Resignation of Fronting Bank.

(a)                                 Any Lender may at any time resign from its role as Fronting Bank hereunder upon not less than thirty (30) days prior notice to Borrower and Agent (or such shorter period of time as may be acceptable to Borrower and Agent).

29

(b)                                 The resigning Fronting Bank shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of Fronting Bank hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it that are outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Fronting Bank and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including, without limitation, the right to require the Revolving Lenders to take such actions as are required under Section 2.8.4).  Without limiting the foregoing, upon the resignation of a Lender as Fronting Bank hereunder, Borrower may, or at the request of such resigned Fronting Bank Borrower shall, use commercially reasonable efforts to, arrange for one or more of the other Lenders to issue Letters of Credit as Fronting Bank hereunder in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, issued by such resigned Fronting Bank and outstanding at the time of such resignation, or make other arrangements satisfactory to the resigned Fronting Bank to effectively cause another Lender to assume the obligations of the resigned Fronting Bank with respect to any such Letters of Credit.

2.8.9                     Reporting of Letter of Credit Information..  At any time that there is a Fronting Bank that is not also the financial institution acting as Agent, then (a) on the last Business Day of each calendar month, (b) on each date that a Letter of Credit is amended, terminated or otherwise expires, (c) on each date that a Letter of Credit is issued or the expiry date of a Letter of Credit is extended, and (d) upon the request of Agent, Fronting Bank shall deliver to Agent a report setting forth in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to Agent information (including, without limitation, any reimbursement, cash collateral, or termination in respect of Letters of Credit issued by Fronting Bank) with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by Fronting Bank that is outstanding hereunder.  No failure on the part of Fronting Bank to provide such information pursuant to this Section 2.8.9 shall limit the obligations of Borrower or any Lender hereunder with respect to its reimbursement and participation obligations hereunder.

2.8.10              Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse, or to cause the applicable Subsidiary to reimburse Fronting Bank hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit.  Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of any of its Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of Borrower and that Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

2.9                               Swingline Loans.

2.9.1                     Swingline Commitment. The Swingline Lender shall from time to time from the Closing Date through the day prior to the Maturity Date make loans to Borrower in such amounts as Borrower may request, up to an aggregate maximum amount of $5,000,000 (each, a “Swingline Loan” ), provided that (a) the amount of each such Swingline Loan does not exceed the Revolving Availability at such time; and (b) without the consent of all of the Lenders, no Swingline Loan may be made during the continuation of an Event of Default, provided written notice of such Event of Default shall have been provided to Swingline Lender by Agent or a Lender sufficiently in advance of the making of such Swingline Loan.

2.9.2                     Request for Swingline Loan. Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow under the Swingline Commitment, subject to the remaining availability under the Swingline Commitment and the Revolving Commitment, upon electronic mail request by an Authorized

30

Signatory of Borrower made to Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (California time), on the Business Day of the requested borrowing. Each Swingline Loan shall be in a principal amount of not less than $250,000 and in an integral multiple of $100,000 thereafter. Promptly after receipt of such a request for borrowing, Agent shall provide telephonic verification to the Swingline Lender that, after giving effect to such request, availability under the Swingline Commitment and the Revolving Commitment will exist (and such verification shall be promptly confirmed in writing by telecopier or electronic mail). Swingline Loans requested by Borrower not later than 2:00 p.m. (California time) on a Business Day shall be made by Swingline Lender on such day. Swingline Loans requested by Borrower after such time on a Business Day shall be made by Swingline Lender as soon as possible, but no later than the following Business Day. Borrower shall notify the Swingline Lender of its intention to make a repayment of a Swingline Loan not later than 1:00 p.m. (California time) on the date of repayment. If the Swingline Lender receives repayment, after 3:00 p.m. (California time), on a Business Day, such payment shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. The Swingline Lender shall promptly notify Agent of the Swingline Loan outstanding each time there is a change therein.

2.9.3                     Swingline Interest Rate. Swingline Loans shall bear interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Base Rate or at a rate otherwise agreed to by the Swingline Lender and Borrower. Interest shall be payable quarterly on such dates as may be specified in writing by the Swingline Lender and in any event on the Maturity Date. The Swingline Lender shall be responsible for invoicing Borrower for such interest. The interest payable on Swingline Loans is solely for the account of the Swingline Lender (subject to Section 2.9.5 below).

2.9.4                     Swingline Maturity Date. Subject to Section 2.9.6 below, the principal amount of all Swingline Loans shall be due and payable on the earlier of (a) ten (10) Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made, (b) the Maturity Date or (c) upon the occurrence of any Event of Default. The principal amount of a Swingline Loan may be repaid, without premium or penalty, at any time before becoming due, including on the same day as such Swingline Loan is made.

2.9.5                     Swingline Participation. Upon the making of a Swingline Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from the Swingline Lender a participation therein in an amount equal to that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Commitment times the amount of the Swingline Loan. Upon demand made by the Swingline Lender, which shall occur not more than once per week, each Lender shall, according to its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Commitment, promptly provide to the Swingline Lender an amount equal to its participation purchase price as described in the foregoing sentence. The obligation of each Lender to so provide its purchase price to the Swingline Lender shall be absolute and unconditional (except for modifications or demand made by the Swingline Lender) and shall not be affected by the existence of an uncured Event of Default; provided that no Lender shall be obligated to purchase its Pro Rata Share of (a) the Swingline Loans to the extent that, after giving effect to such Swingline Loan, the Revolving Outstandings at any time exceed the Revolving Commitment, (b) Swingline Loans to the extent that, after giving effect to such Swingline Loan, the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans outstanding exceed $5,000,000, or (c) any Swingline Loan made (absent the consent of all of the Lenders) during the continuation of an Event of Default if written notice of such Event of Default shall have been provided to Swingline Lender

31

by Agent or a Lender sufficiently in advance of the making of such Swingline Loan; provided, that the obligation of such Lender to purchase such participation shall be reinstated upon the date on which such Event of Default has been waived in accordance with this Agreement. Each Lender that has provided to the Swingline Lender the purchase price due for its participation in Swingline Loans shall thereupon acquire a pro rata participation, to the extent of such payment, in the claim of the Swingline Lender against Borrower for principal and interest and shall share, in accordance with that pro rata participation, in any principal payment made by Borrower with respect to such claim and in any interest payment made by Borrower (but only with respect to periods subsequent to the date such Lender paid the Swingline Lender its purchase price) with respect to such claim.

2.9.6                     Swingline Repayment; Revolving Loans. The Swingline Lender may, at any time, in its sole discretion, but not less than two Business Days’ prior written notice to Borrower and Lenders, demand payment of the Swingline Loans by way of a Revolving Loan in the full amount or any portion of the outstanding amount of Swingline Loans. In each case, Agent shall automatically provide the advances made by each Lender to the Swingline Lender (which the Swingline Lender shall then apply to the outstanding amount of the Swingline Loans). In the event that Borrower fails to request a Revolving Loan within the time specified by this Section 2.9.6 on any such date, Agent may, but is not required to, without notice to or the consent of Borrower, cause Base Rate Loans to be made by the Lenders under the Revolving Commitment in amounts which are sufficient to reduce the outstanding amount of the Swingline Loans as required above. The proceeds of such advances shall be paid directly to the Swingline Lender for application to the outstanding amount of the Swingline Loans.

2.10                        Use of Proceeds. On the Closing Date, the proceeds of the Loans shall be used by Borrower and its Subsidiaries solely as follows: (a) first, to repay in full the Indebtedness outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement and (b) second, to pay fees, commissions and expenses required to be paid under Section 4.1. After the Closing Date, the proceeds of the Loans shall be used for working capital needs and general corporate purposes (including Capital Expenditures, Permitted Acquisitions and Distributions, in each case, to the extent permitted hereunder).

3.1.2                     Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, interest on all outstanding Obligations shall, upon the election of Agent, after approval of Required Lenders pursuant to Section 9.2.1, confirmed by written notice from Agent to Borrower, accrue and be payable at the Default Rate. Interest accruing at the Default Rate shall be payable to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, on demand and in any event on the Maturity Date. Agent shall not be required to (a) accelerate the maturity of the Loans or (b) exercise any other rights or remedies under the Loan Documents, in order to charge the Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default specified in Sections 9.1.5, 9.1.6, or 9.1.7, the interest rate shall be increased automatically to the Default Rate without the necessity of any action by Agent.

3.1.3                     Principal. If not sooner paid, Borrower shall repay the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans as follows:

(a)                                 the amount, if any, by which the Revolving Outstandings at any time exceed the Revolving Commitment shall be payable immediately;

(b)                                 commencing on October 1, 2015, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans shall be payable in installments to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, as set forth below:

(c)                                  the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans shall in any event be payable on the Maturity Date.

3.1.4                     Voluntary Prepayment; Termination of Revolving Commitment.

(a)                                 Any Loan may, at any time and from time to time, voluntarily be paid or prepaid in whole or in part without premium or penalty, except that with respect to any voluntary prepayment (i) each prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of at least $250,000, (ii) each prepayment of principal on any LIBOR Loan shall be accompanied by payment of interest accrued to the date of payment on the amount of principal paid, and (iii) any payment or prepayment of all or any part of any LIBOR Loan on a day other than the last day of the applicable LIBOR Loan Period shall be subject to Section 14.2. Provided no Event of

33

Default exists, any prepayment shall be applied to Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Loans as directed by Borrower, subject to Section 3.9.

(b)                                 Upon at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice to Agent (which notice Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the Lenders), Borrower may terminate the Revolving Commitment in whole or reduce the Revolving Commitment in increments of $250,000, without premium or penalty, prior to the scheduled Maturity Date; provided, that at such time Borrower shall (i) prepay all outstanding Revolving Loans to the extent they exceed the reduced Revolving Commitment amount elected by Borrower, (ii) pay all accrued interest and fees thereon, and (iii) reimburse Lenders for any reasonable and documented, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lenders in connection with such prepayment and termination, including any amounts set forth in Section 14.2.

3.1.5                     Maximum Rate of Interest. In no event shall the aggregate of all interest on the Obligations charged or collected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or pursuant to the Notes exceed the highest rate permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable. In the event that such a court determines that a Lender has charged or received interest under this Agreement or the Notes in excess of the highest applicable rate, the rate in effect under this Agreement or the Notes shall automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law and Lender shall promptly apply such excess to reduce the principal balance of the Obligations, or if the principal balance of the Obligations owing have been paid in full, Lender shall promptly apply such excess to reduce any other Obligations, and if all Obligations have been paid in full, then Lender shall refund to Borrower any interest received by Lender in excess of the maximum lawful rate; provided, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the highest applicable rate, Borrower shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the highest applicable rate, until such time as the total interest received by Lender from the making of Loans hereunder is equal to the total interest that Lender would have received had the interest rate payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this Section 3.1.5) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement. It is the intent of this Agreement that Borrower not pay or contract to pay, and that Lender not receive or contract to receive, directly or indirectly, interest in excess of that which may be paid by Borrower under Applicable Law.

3.2                               Unused Revolving Loan Fee. Borrower shall pay to Agent a non-refundable fee for the ratable benefit of the Lenders (the “Unused Revolving Loan Fee”) commencing as of the Closing Date, payable quarterly in arrears, on each Quarterly Payment Date, commencing on January 2, 2015, and ending on the Termination Date. The Unused Revolving Loan Fee shall be, for each day after the Closing Date through the Termination Date, an amount equal to (a) the difference between (i) the Revolving Commitment, and (ii) the closing balance of the Revolving Loans for such day, not including Swingline Loans but including issued and outstanding Letters of Credit, multiplied by (b) (i) 0.20% if the Deposit Amount as of the most recent Quarterly Payment Date was greater than or equal to $10,000,000 or (ii) 0.30% otherwise, the product of which is then divided by (c) 360.

3.3                               Fees to Agent. On each date upon which a fee is payable or costs are reimbursable, Borrower shall pay to Agent such fees or cost reimbursements as agreed upon by

34

letter agreement between Borrower and Agent in accordance with such letter agreement, which fees and cost reimbursements shall be solely for Agent’s own account and are nonrefundable, subject to the terms of such letter agreement.

3.4                               Late Payments. If any installment of principal or interest or any fee or cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document to any Lender is not paid when due, it shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including, without limitation, interest on past due interest) shall be compounded monthly, on the last day of each calendar month, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law.

3.5                               [Reserved].

3.6                               Term of Revolving Commitment. The Revolving Commitment shall be in effect until the Maturity Date unless earlier terminated as provided in this Agreement. The Revolving Loans and all other Obligations shall be automatically due and payable in full on the Maturity Date, unless earlier due and payable or terminated as provided in this Agreement.

3.7                               Note and Accounting. Agent shall provide a quarterly accounting to Borrower of the Loans and other transactions under this Agreement, including Agent’s calculation of principal and interest. Each and every such accounting shall, absent manifest error, be deemed final, binding and conclusive upon Borrower, unless Borrower, within sixty (60) days after the date any such accounting is rendered, provides Agent with written notice of any objection which Borrower may have to any item in such accounting, describing the basis for such objection with reasonable specificity. In that event, only those items expressly objected to in such notice shall be deemed to be disputed by Borrower, and in the event the parties cannot resolve their dispute, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 11.

3.8                               Manner of Payment.

3.8.1                     When Payments Due.

(a)                                 Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, each payment (including any prepayment) by Borrower on account of the principal of or interest on the Loans and any other amount owed to Lenders on account of the Obligations shall be made not later than 12:00 p.m. (California time) on the date specified for payment under this Agreement to Agent in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds. Any payment received by Agent on a day that is not a Business Day or after 12:00 p.m. (California time) on a Business Day, shall be deemed received on the next Business Day. The amount of all payments received by Agent for the account of each Lender shall be immediately paid by Agent to the applicable Lender in immediately available funds and, if such payment was received by Agent by 12:00 p.m. (California time), on a Business Day and not so made available to the account of a Lender on that Business Day, Agent shall reimburse that Lender for the cost to such Lender of funding the amount of such payment at the Federal Funds Rate. All payments shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America.

35

(b)                                 If any payment on any Obligation is specified to be made upon a day that is not a Business Day, it shall (subject to the provisions of the LIBOR Loan Period which may require payment by one (1) earlier Business Day) be deemed to be specified to be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in computing interest and fees, if any, in connection with such payment.

3.8.2                     No Deductions. Borrower shall pay principal, interest, fees, and all other amounts due on the Obligations without set-off or counterclaim or any deduction whatsoever.

3.8.3                     Inadequate Payments. If, on the date on which any amount (including any payment of principal, interest or other costs and expenses) shall be due and payable by Borrower to Lenders, the amount received by any such Lenders from Borrower shall not be adequate to pay the entire amount then due and payable, then Agent shall be authorized, but shall not be obligated, to make a Base Rate Loan to Borrower in the amount of the deficiency.

3.9                               Application of Payments. Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments received at any time by any Lender from or on behalf of Borrower and specifically waives the provisions of California Civil Code Sections 1479 and 2822 or similar provisions under any other Applicable Law giving Borrower the right to designate application of payments. All amounts received by Agent for application to the Obligations shall be applied by Agent in the following order of priority: (a) first, to the payment of any fees then due and payable to Agent, Fronting Bank or any Lender, (b) second, to the payments of all other amounts not otherwise referred to in the other clauses of this Section 3.9 then due and payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents to Agent, Fronting Bank or any Lender (including any indemnities and any costs and expenses incurred by Agent, Fronting Bank or any Lender as a result of a Default or an Event of Default), (c) third, to the payment of interest then due and payable on the Loans, (d) fourth, to the payment of principal then due and payable on the Loans and (e) fifth, to the payment of any liabilities then due and payable under any Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Bank Products Agreements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower irrevocably agrees that, during the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lenders shall have the continuing exclusive right to determine the order and method of the application of payments against the then due and payable Obligations in Lenders’ sole discretion and to revise such application prospectively or retroactively in Lenders’ sole discretion.

3.10                        Use of Proceeds. Borrower will not, directly or indirectly, use any part of any Loan proceeds for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock within the meaning of Regulation U or to extend credit to any Person for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any such margin stock, or for any purpose which violates, or is inconsistent with, Regulation X.

3.11                        All Obligations to Constitute One Obligation. All Obligations related to the Loans constitute one general obligation of Borrower and shall be secured by Agent’s Liens upon all of the Collateral.

3.12                        Authorization to Make Loans. Agent and each Lender (each, an “Authorized Party”) are authorized to make the Loans based on telephonic or other oral or written instructions received from any Person that an Authorized Party believes in good faith to be an authorized representative of Borrower, or at the discretion of such Authorized Party, if such Loans are

36

necessary to satisfy any of the Obligations. Borrower consents to the recordation of any telephonic or other communications between an Authorized Party and Borrower for the purpose of maintaining such party’s business records of such transactions.

3.13                        Authorization to Debit Accounts. Borrower authorizes Agent, upon prior notice to Borrower, to debit any of Borrower’s bank accounts with Agent for the purpose of Borrower’s payment of interest, fees or, to the extent reimbursable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, costs and expenses due and payable by Borrower to Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement.

3.14                        Agent’s Right to Assume Funds Available for Loans. Unless Agent shall have been notified by any Lender no later than 10:00 a.m. (California time) on the Business Day of the proposed funding by Agent of any Loan that such Lender does not intend to make available to Agent such Lender’s portion of the total amount of such Loan, Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Agent on the date of the Loan and Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. If Agent has made funds available to Borrower based on such assumption and such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to Agent by such Lender, Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon Agent’s demand therefor, Agent promptly shall notify Borrower and Borrower shall pay such corresponding amount to Agent. Agent also shall be entitled to recover from such Lender interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by Agent to Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the daily Federal Funds Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Pro Rata Share of the Commitments or to prejudice any rights which Agent or Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

3.15                        Defaulting Lenders.

3.15.1              Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

(a)                                 Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 12.16.

(b)                                 Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 12.10), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to Fronting Bank or Swingline Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by Agent or requested by Fronting Bank, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit;

37

fourth, as Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Agent; fifth, if so determined by Agent and Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, Fronting Bank or Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, Fronting Bank or Swingline Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 3.15.1(b) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(c)                                  Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (i) shall not be entitled to receive any Unused Revolving Loan Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (ii) shall be limited in its right to receive commissions and fees as provided in Section 2.8.3.

(d)                                 Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.8.4 or fund participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.9.5, the Pro Rata Share of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the portion of the Revolving Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided, that, (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and/or Swingline Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (A) the portion of the Revolving Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (B) the aggregate outstanding amount of the Revolving Loans of that Lender.

(e)                                  Termination of Requirement. Cash collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce fronting exposure or other obligations shall no longer be required to be held as cash collateral following (i) the elimination of the applicable fronting exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii) the determination by Agent and Fronting Bank

38

that there exists excess cash collateral; provided, that the Person providing cash collateral and the Fronting Bank may agree that cash collateral shall be held to support future anticipated fronting exposure or other obligations and provided further, that to the extent that such cash collateral was provided by Borrower, such cash collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

3.15.2              Defaulting Lender Cure. If Borrower, Agent, Fronting Bank and Swingline Lender agree in writing in their respective sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares (without giving effect to Section 3.15.1(d)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected Parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

4.1                               Conditions Precedent to Closing.

41

5.                                      REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Borrower represents and warrants that on the Closing Date and on the date of the funding of each Loan or the issuance of each Letter of Credit hereunder:

5.1                               Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries duly organized or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified or registered to transact business and is in good standing in each other jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or the ownership or leasing of its Property makes such qualification or registration necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or registered could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has all requisite power and authority to conduct its business, to own, pledge, mortgage or otherwise encumber and operate its Property, to lease the Property it operates under lease, to conduct its business as now or proposed to be conducted, to execute and deliver each Loan Document to which it is a party and to perform its Obligations. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance with all Applicable Law and other legal requirements applicable to its business, has obtained all authorizations, consents, approvals, orders, licenses and permits from, and has accomplished all filings, registrations and qualifications with, or obtained exemptions from any of the foregoing from, any Governmental Authority that are necessary for the transaction of its business, except where the failure to be so qualified or registered could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.2                               Executive Offices; Corporate or Other Names; Conduct of Business. The locations of Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ chief executive office, other corporate offices, warehouses, other locations of Collateral and locations where all of Borrower’s books and records are kept are as set forth in Schedule 5.2. None of Borrower or its Subsidiaries shall change its (a) name, (b) chief executive office, (c) jurisdiction of formation, or (d) locations of books and records, without, in each instance, giving ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice thereof (or such lesser period of time as consented to by Agent) to Agent and taking all actions deemed reasonably necessary or appropriate by Agent to protect and perfect Agent’s Liens continuously upon the Collateral.

5.3                               Authority; Compliance with Other Agreements and Instruments and Government Regulations. The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower and any Subsidiary of the Loan Documents to which each is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or limited liability company action, and do not and will not:

5.3.1                     Require any consent or approval not heretofore obtained of any member, partner, director, stockholder, security holder or creditor of such Person;

5.3.2                     Violate or conflict with any provision of such Person’s operating agreement, charter, articles or certificate of incorporation or bylaws, as applicable;

5.3.3                     Result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon or with respect to any Property now owned or leased or hereafter acquired or leased by such Person;

42

5.3.4                     Violate any Applicable Law applicable to such Person, which violation could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; or

5.3.5                     Result in a breach of or constitute a default under, or cause or permit the acceleration of any obligation owed under, any indenture or loan or credit agreement or any other Contractual Obligation to which such party is a party or by which such party or any of its Property is bound or affected which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and such party is not in violation of, or default under, any Applicable Law or Contractual Obligation, or any indenture, loan or credit agreement, in any respect which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.4                               No Governmental Approvals Required. Except as previously obtained or made, no authorization, consent, approval, order, license or permit from, or filing, registration or qualification with, any Governmental Authority is or will be required to authorize or permit under Applicable Law the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower and any Subsidiary of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.5                               Subsidiaries. Except as disclosed to the Agent on or prior to the Closing Date, Schedule 5.5 hereto correctly sets forth the names, forms of legal entity, issued and outstanding Stock, owned Stock and jurisdictions of organization of all Subsidiaries of Borrower as of the Closing Date. Except as described in Schedule 5.5, as of the Closing Date, Borrower does not own any capital stock, equity interest or debt security which is convertible, or exchangeable, for capital stock or equity interest in any Person. Unless otherwise indicated in Schedule 5.5, as of the Closing Date, all of the outstanding shares of capital stock, or all of the units of equity interest, as the case may be, of each Subsidiary are owned of record and beneficially by Borrower, there are no outstanding options, warrants or other rights to purchase capital stock of any such Subsidiary, and all such shares or equity interests so owned are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and were issued in compliance with all applicable state and federal securities laws and other Applicable Law, and are free and clear of all Liens, except for Permitted Liens.

5.6                               Financial Statements. Borrower has furnished to Agent the audited financial statements of Borrower and its Subsidiaries (on a consolidated basis) as of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013 (including balance sheets, income statements and operating statements).

The terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are for the purpose of defining the relative rights and obligations of Borrower and Lenders with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and there shall be no third party beneficiaries of any of the terms and provisions of any of the Loan Documents. Subject to Section 12.8.2 of this Agreement, each Lender reserves the right at any time to create and sell a participation in any portion of the Loans and the Loan Documents and to sell, transfer or assign any or all of its rights in the Loans and under the Loan Documents.

11.                               [RESERVED]

12.                               MISCELLANEOUS

12.1        Complete Agreement; Modification of Agreement.

12.2.4     all Charges levied on, or assessed, placed or made against any Collateral, the Notes or the other Loan Documents or the Obligations.

NO INDEMNIFIED PERSON SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO ANY OTHER PARTY TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, ANY SUCCESSOR, ASSIGNEE OR THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY OR ANY OTHER PERSON ASSERTING CLAIMS DERIVATIVELY THROUGH SUCH PARTY, FOR INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHICH MAY BE ALLEGED AS A RESULT OF CREDIT HAVING BEEN EXTENDED OR NOT EXTENDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR AS A RESULT OF ANY OTHER TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER. This Section 12.3.1 shall survive the Termination Date.

61

12.3.2     All obligations of Borrower with respect to any item of Collateral shall be and remain enforceable against, and only against, Borrower and shall not be enforceable against Agent or any Lender.

12.4        No Waiver. Neither Agent’s nor any Lender’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of any Loan Document, nor Agent’s or any Lender’s failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, any right, power or privilege under this Agreement, (a) shall waive, affect or diminish any right of Agent or any Lender thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance therewith, or (b) shall operate as a waiver thereof. Any suspension or waiver of a Default, Event of Default, or other provision under the Loan Documents must be in writing signed by an authorized employee of Agent or any Lender to be effective and shall not suspend, waive or affect any other Default or Event of Default, whether the same is prior or subsequent thereto and whether of the same or of a different type, and shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which Agent or any Lender would otherwise have had on any future occasion.

12.5        Severability; Drafting. Wherever possible, each provision of the Loan Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under Applicable Law, but if any provision of any Loan Document shall be prohibited by or invalid under Applicable Law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of such Loan Document. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any other Loan Document, all undertakings, agreements, covenants, warranties and representations of or binding upon Borrower and all rights of Agent and Lenders, all as contained in the Loan Documents, shall not terminate or expire, but rather shall survive such termination or cancellation and shall continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date; provided, that the reimbursement and expense provisions of Section 12.2, the indemnity provisions of Section 12.3, the governing law and venue provisions of Section 12.14 and the waiver of jury trial provisions of Section 12.15 shall all survive the Termination Date. In the event of a dispute between any of the parties hereto over the meaning of this Agreement, all parties shall be deemed to have been the drafter hereof, and any Applicable Law that states that contracts are construed against the drafter shall not apply.

12.6        Conflict of Terms. Except as otherwise provided in any Loan Document by specific reference to the applicable provisions of this Agreement, if any provision contained in this Agreement is in conflict with, or inconsistent with, any provision in any other Loan Document, the provision contained in this Agreement shall govern and control.

12.7.2              Any party to this Agreement may change the address to which notices shall be directed under this Section 12.7 by giving ten (10) days’ written notice of such change to the other parties.

12.8                        Binding Effect; Assignment.

12.8.1              Subject to the terms of Section 10, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, Agent, Fronting Bank and each of Lenders and their respective successors and assigns. Each Lender represents that it is not acquiring its Note with a view to the distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (subject to any requirement that disposition of such Note must be within the control of such Lender). Any Lender may at any time pledge its Note or any other instrument evidencing its rights as a lender under this Agreement to a Federal Reserve Bank, but no such pledge shall release that Lender from its obligations hereunder or grant to such Federal Reserve Bank the rights of a Lender hereunder absent foreclosure of such pledge.

12.8.2              From time to time following the Closing Date, each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or any portion of its Pro Rata Share of the Commitments; provided that (a) such assignment shall be approved by Agent and, provided no Default or Event of Default then exists, Borrower, which approval(s) shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (b) such assignment shall be evidenced by a Commitment Assignment and Acceptance, a copy of which shall be furnished to Agent as hereinbelow provided and made available to Borrower upon its request; (c) except in the case of an assignment (i) to an Affiliate of the assigning Lender or to another Lender or (ii) of the entire remaining Commitments of the assigning Lender, the assignment shall not assign a Pro Rata Share of the Commitments that is equivalent to less than $5,000,000; and (d) the effective date of any such assignment shall be as specified in the Commitment Assignment and Acceptance, but not earlier than the date which is five (5) Business Days after the date Agent has received the Commitment Assignment and Acceptance. Upon the effective date of such Commitment Assignment and Acceptance, the Eligible Assignee named therein shall be a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement, with the Pro Rata Share of the Commitments therein set forth and, to the extent of such Pro Rata Share, the assigning Lender shall be released from its further obligations under this Agreement. Borrower agrees that it shall execute and deliver (against delivery by the assigning Lender to Borrower of its Notes) to such assignee Lender, Notes evidencing that assignee Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Commitments, and to the assigning Lender, Notes evidencing the Pro Rata Share retained by the assigning Lender.

12.8.3              By executing and delivering a Commitment Assignment and Acceptance, the Eligible Assignee thereunder acknowledges and agrees that: (a) other than the representation and warranty that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the Pro Rata Share of the Commitments being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim, the assigning Lender has made no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) the assigning Lender has made no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of Borrower or the performance by

64

Borrower of the Obligations; (c) it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 8 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Commitment Assignment and Acceptance; (d) it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (e) it appoints and authorizes Agent to take such action and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to Agent by this Agreement; and (f) it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

12.8.4              Agent shall maintain at Agent’s Office a copy of each Commitment Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) of the names and address of each of the Lenders and the Pro Rata Share of the Commitments held by each Lender, giving effect to each Commitment Assignment and Acceptance. The Register shall be available during normal business hours for inspection by Borrower or any Lender upon reasonable prior notice to Agent. After receipt of a completed Commitment Assignment and Acceptance executed by any Lender and an Eligible Assignee, and receipt of a non-refundable assignment fee of Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500) from such Lender or Eligible Assignee, Agent shall, promptly following the effective date thereof, provide to Borrower and the Lenders a revised Schedule 2.1 giving effect thereto. Borrower, Agent and the Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the Pro Rata Share of the Commitments listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Pro Rata Share of the Commitments shall be effective, in each case unless and until a Commitment Assignment and Acceptance effecting the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been accepted by Agent and recorded in the Register as provided above. Prior to such recordation, all amounts owed with respect to the applicable Pro Rata Share of the Commitments shall be owed to the Lender listed in the Register as the owner thereof, and any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Pro Rata Share of the Commitments.

12.8.5              Each Lender may from time to time grant participations to one or more banks or other financial institutions (other than Defaulting Lenders) in a portion of its Pro Rata Share of the Commitments; provided, however, that (a) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; (b) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; (c) the participating banks or other financial institutions shall not be a Lender hereunder for any purpose; (d) Borrower, Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; (e) the participation interest shall be expressed as a percentage of the granting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Commitments as it then exists and shall not restrict an increase in the Commitments, or in the granting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Commitments, so long as the amount of the participation interest is not affected thereby; and (f) the consent of the holder of such participation interest shall not be required for amendments or waivers of provisions of the Loan Documents other than those which (i) increase the Commitments, (ii) extend the Maturity Date or any other date upon which any payment of money is due to the Lenders, (iii) reduce the rate of interest on the Notes, any fee or any other

65

monetary amount payable to the Lenders, or (iv) release any material Collateral from the Lien of the Collateral Documents, except if such release of material Collateral occurs in connection with a disposition permitted under this Agreement in which case such release shall not require the consent of any of the Lenders or of any holder of a participation interest in the Commitments.

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

12.9                        Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent, Fronting Bank and any Lender other than a Defaulting Lender (but in each case only with the consent of the Required Lenders) may exercise its rights under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code and other Applicable Law and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, apply any funds in any deposit account maintained with it by Borrower and/or any Property of Borrower in its possession against the Obligations.

12.10                 Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender severally agrees that if it, through the exercise of any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim against Borrower, or otherwise, receives payment of the Obligations held by it that is ratably more than any other Lender, through any means, receives in payment of the Obligations held by that Lender, then, subject to Applicable Law: (a) the Lender exercising the right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or otherwise receiving such payment shall purchase, and shall be deemed to have simultaneously purchased, from each of the other Lenders a participation in the Obligations held by the other Lenders and shall pay to the other Lenders a purchase price in an amount so that the share of the Obligations held by each Lender after the exercise of the right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or receipt of payment shall be in the same proportion that existed prior to the exercise of the right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or receipt of payment; and (b) such other adjustments and purchases of participations shall be made from time to time as shall be equitable to ensure that all of the Lenders share any payment obtained in respect of the Obligations ratably in accordance with each Lender’s share of the Obligations immediately prior to, and without taking into account, the payment; provided that, if all or any portion of a disproportionate payment obtained as a result of the exercise of the right of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim or otherwise is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender by Borrower or any Person claiming through or succeeding to the rights of Borrower, the purchase of a participation shall be rescinded and the

66

purchase price thereof shall be restored to the extent of the recovery, but without interest. Each Lender that purchases a participation in the Obligations pursuant to this Section 12.10 shall from and after the purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased. Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in an Obligation so purchased pursuant to this Section 12.10 may exercise any and all rights of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim with respect to the participation as fully as if the Lender were the original owner of the Obligation purchased.

12.11                 Section Titles. The Section titles and Table of Contents contained in this Agreement and any other Loan Document are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto.

12.12                 Counterparts. Each Loan Document may be executed in any number of identical counterparts, which shall constitute an original and collectively and separately constitute a single instrument or agreement.

12.13                 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence for payment and performance of the Obligations.

12.14                 Governing Law; Jurisdiction, Etc.

12.14.1       Governing Law.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any claim, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except, as to any other Loan Document, as expressly set forth therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

67

12.14.3       Waiver of Venue.  Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in Section 12.14.2.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

12.15.1       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 LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).

12.15.2       IN THE EVENT ANY SUCH LEGAL PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT OR FILED IN ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA OR IN ANY STATE COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, AND THE WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL SET FORTH IN SECTION 12.15.1 IS DETERMINED OR HELD TO BE INEFFECTIVE OR UNENFORCEABLE, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE ADJUDICATION OF ALL CLAIMS PURSUANT TO JUDICIAL REFERENCE AS PROVIDED IN CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTION 638, AND THE JUDICIAL REFEREE SHALL BE EMPOWERED TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ALL ISSUES IN SUCH REFERENCE, WHETHER FACT OR LAW.

12.16                 Amendments; Consents. No amendment, modification, supplement, extension, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no approval or consent thereunder, and no consent to any departure by Borrower or any other party therefrom, may in any event be effective unless in writing signed by Agent and the Required Lenders (and, in the case of any amendment, modification or supplement of or to any Loan Document to which Borrower is a party, signed by Borrower, and, in the case of any amendment,

68

modification or supplement to Section 13, signed by Agent, respectively), and then only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given; provided, however, that:

12.16.1                   Any amendment, waiver or consent which would (i) amend or waive this Section 12.16 or any part thereof; (ii) amend or waive any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.1; or (iii) amend any provision of this Agreement that expressly requires the consent or approval of all or a specified portion of the Lenders, must be in writing and signed or approved in writing by all of the Lenders;

12.16.2                   Any amendment, waiver or consent which releases any substantial part of the Collateral must be in writing and signed or approved in writing by all Lenders, except that any release in connection with a sale or other disposition of Collateral authorized by Section 7.1 shall not require the approval of any Lenders;

12.16.3                   Any amendment, waiver or consent which increases or decreases the Pro Rata Share of any Lender must be in writing and signed by such Lender;

12.16.4                   Any amendment, waiver or consent which extends the commitment of any Lender must be in writing and signed by such Lender; and

12.16.5                   Any amendment, waiver or consent which modifies the amount of principal, principal prepayments or the rate of interest payable on, any Note, or the amount of any Unused Revolving Loan Fee payable to any Lender, or any other fee or amount payable to any Lender under the Loan Documents or to waive an Event of Default consisting of the failure of Borrower to pay when due principal, interest or any fee must be in writing and signed by such Lender.

Any amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or consent pursuant to this Section 12.16 shall apply equally to, and shall be binding upon, all the Lenders and Agent.

12.17                 Foreign Lenders and Participants.

12.17.1       Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower and Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as will enable Borrower or Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 12.17(ii)(a), (ii)(b) and (ii)(d) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission

69

would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

12.17.2       Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(a)                                 any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement or receives a participation interest herein pursuant to Section 12.8, if applicable (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(b)                                 any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement or receives a participation interest herein pursuant to Section 12.8, if applicable (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

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

(ii)                                  executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

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

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

70

Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

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

(d)                                 if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

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

12.17.4       In the event that Borrower or Agent become aware that a participation has been granted pursuant to Section 12.8.5 to a financial institution that is incorporated or otherwise organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, then, upon request made by Borrower or Agent to the Lender which granted such participation, such Lender shall cause such participant financial institution to deliver the same documents and information to Borrower and Agent as would be required under this Section if such financial institution were a Lender.

12.18                 Confidentiality. Each of the Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (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 regulatory authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to

71

the extent required by Applicable Law or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any suit, 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 or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower relating to the Borrower or its business, other than any such information that (x) is available to the Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or (y) is clearly identified at the time of delivery as not being confidential. 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.

Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Agent may disclose information concerning the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to loan syndication and pricing reporting services or in its marketing or promotional materials, with such information to consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications or marketing or promotional materials and may otherwise use the name, logos, and other insignia of Borrower or its Subsidiaries and the lending commitments provided hereunder in any customary “tombstone” or other customary advertisements, on its website or in other customary marketing materials of Agent.

12.19                 Keepwell.  Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by the Borrower and each Guarantor to honor all of their respective obligations under the Guaranty and the other Loan Documents in respect of Swap Obligations under any Interest Rate Protection Agreement (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 12.19 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 12.19, or otherwise under the Guaranty, voidable under Applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). Subject to Section 8 of the Guaranty, the obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 12.19 shall remain in full force and effect until the Termination Date. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 12.19 constitute, and this Section 12.19 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of the Borrower and each other Guarantor for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

72

13.                               AGENT

13.1                        Appointment and Authorization.

13.1.1                          Each of the Lenders and Fronting Bank hereby irrevocably appoints Wells Fargo Bank, National Association to act on its behalf as Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The provisions of this Section 13 are solely for the benefit of Agent, the Lenders and Fronting Bank, and neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary thereof and no Guarantor shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions.  It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

13.1.2                          Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (including in its capacity as a potential party to an Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Bank Products Agreement) and Fronting Bank hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Agent to act as the agent of such Lender and Fronting Bank for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of Borrower or the Guarantors to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto (including, without limitation, to enter into additional Loan Documents or supplements to existing Loan Documents on behalf of the applicable secured parties).  In this connection, Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by Agent pursuant to this Section 13 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of Section 12 (including Sections 12.2 and 12.3, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) and this Section 13 as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

13.2                        Rights as a Lender.  The Person serving as 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 Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower or any Subsidiary or Guarantor or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

13.3                        Exculpatory Provisions.

13.3.1              Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder and thereunder shall be administrative in nature.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent:

(a)                                 shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

73

(b)                                 shall not 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 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 shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or Applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

(c)                                  shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Borrower, any Guarantor, or any of Subsidiaries or Affiliates of Borrower or any Guarantor that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

13.3.2              Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (a) 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 Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 12.16 and Section 9.2) or (b) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final nonappealable judgment.  Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to Agent by Borrower, a Lender or Fronting Bank.

13.3.3              Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (b) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith (including, without limitation, any report provided to it by Fronting Bank pursuant to Section 2.8.9), (c) 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 or Event of Default, (d) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (e) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 4 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Agent or (f) the utilization of Letters of Credit (it being understood and agreed that Fronting Bank shall monitor utilization of Letters of Credit without any further action by Agent).

13.4                        Reliance by Agent.  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.  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, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its

74

terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or Fronting Bank, Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Fronting Bank unless Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Fronting Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit.  Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), 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.

13.5                        Delegation of Duties.  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 Agent.  Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Section 13 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Commitments (if any) as well as activities as Agent.  Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

13.6                        Resignation of Agent.

13.6.1              Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, Fronting Bank and Borrower.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and Fronting Bank, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided, that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender.  Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

13.6.2              If the Person serving as Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, by notice in writing to Borrower and such Person, remove such Person as Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

13.6.3              With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable), (1) the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by Agent on behalf of the Lenders or Fronting Bank under any of the

75

Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and Fronting Bank directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Agent), and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.  The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor.  After the retiring or removed Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section and Sections 12.2 and 12.3 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Agent was acting as Agent.

13.6.4              Any resignation by, or removal of, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as Fronting Bank and Swingline Lender.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Fronting Bank, if in its sole discretion it elects to, and Swingline Lender, (b) the retiring Fronting Bank and Swingline Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the successor Fronting Bank, if in its sole discretion it elects to, shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangement satisfactory to the retiring Fronting Bank to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Fronting Bank with respect to such Letters of Credit.

13.7                        Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender and Fronting Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent 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 Fronting Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent 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.

13.8                        No Other Duties, etc.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the syndication agents, documentation agents, co-agents, arrangers or bookrunners 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 Agent, a Lender or Fronting Bank hereunder.

76

13.9                        Collateral and Guaranty Matters.

13.9.1              Each of the Lenders (including in its or any of its Affiliate’s capacities as a potential counterparty to an Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Bank Products Agreement) irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion:

(a)                                 to release any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon the termination of the Revolving Commitment and payment in full of all Obligations (other than (1) contingent indemnification obligations under any of the Loan Documents and (2) obligations and liabilities under Interest Rate Protection Agreements or Bank Products Agreements as to which arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Lender shall have been made) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Fronting Bank shall have been made), (ii) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted under the Loan Documents, or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 12.16;

(b)                                 to subordinate any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Permitted Lien; and

(c)                                  to release any Guarantor from its obligations under any Loan Documents if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents.

Upon request by Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement pursuant to this Section 13.9.  In each case as specified in this Section 13.9, Agent will, at Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Party such documents as such Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, or to release such Guarantor from its obligations under any of the Loan Documents, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 13.9.  In the case of any such sale, transfer or disposal of any property constituting Collateral in a transaction constituting a Disposition permitted pursuant to Section 7.1, the Liens created by any of the Collateral Documents on such property shall be automatically released without need for further action by any Person.

13.9.2              Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Party in connection therewith, nor shall Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

13.10                 Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Bank Products Agreements.  No lender that is a party to an Interest Rate Protection Agreement or Bank Products Agreement that obtains the benefits of any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Collateral Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action

77

hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 13 to the contrary, Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Bank Products Agreements unless Agent has received written notice of such Interest Rate Protection Agreements and Bank Products Agreements, together with such supporting documentation as Agent may request, from the applicable lender party thereto, as the case may be

13.11                 Indemnification. Each Lender shall, ratably in accordance with its proportion of the Commitments, indemnify and hold Agent and its directors, officers, agents, employees and attorneys harmless against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and allocated costs of attorneys employed by Agent) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it or them in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents (other than losses incurred by reason of the failure of Borrower to pay the Indebtedness represented by the applicable Note) or any action taken or not taken by it as Agent thereunder, except such as result from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation on the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for that Lender’s Pro Rata Share (in respect of the Revolving Commitment) of any out of pocket cost or expense incurred by Agent in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery, amendment, waiver, restructuring, reorganization (including a bankruptcy reorganization), enforcement or attempted enforcement of the Loan Documents, to the extent that Borrower or any other party is required by Section 12.2 to pay that cost or expense but fails to do so upon demand. Nothing in this Section 13.10 shall entitle Agent or any indemnitee referred to above to recover any amount from Lenders if and to the extent that such amount has theretofore been recovered from Borrower. To the extent that Agent or any indemnitee referred to above is later reimbursed such amount by Borrower, it shall return the amounts paid to it by Lenders in respect of such amount.

13.12                 No Obligations of Borrower. Nothing contained in this Section 13 shall be deemed to impose upon Borrower any obligation in respect of the due and punctual performance by Agent of its obligations to Lenders under any provision of this Agreement, and Borrower shall have no liability to Agent or any of Lenders in respect of any failure by Agent or any Lender to perform any of its obligations to Agent or Lenders under this Agreement.

14.                               COMMITMENT COSTS AND RELATED MATTERS.

14.1                        Changed Circumstances.

14.1.1              Circumstances Affecting LIBOR Availability.  In connection with any request for a LIBOR Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof, if for any reason (a) Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank Eurodollar market for the applicable amount and LIBOR Loan Period of such Loan, (b) Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that reasonable and

78

adequate means do not exist for the ascertaining the LIBOR Basis for such LIBOR Loan Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan or (c) the Required Lenders shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the LIBOR Basis does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans during such LIBOR Loan Period, then Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to Borrower.  Thereafter, until Agent notifies Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make LIBOR Loans and the right of Borrower to convert any Loan to or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Loan shall be suspended, and Borrower shall either (i) repay in full (or cause to be repaid in full) the then outstanding principal amount of each such LIBOR Loan together with accrued interest thereon, on the last day of the then current LIBOR Loan Period applicable to such LIBOR Loan; or (ii) convert the then outstanding principal amount of each such LIBOR Loan to a Base Rate Loan as of the last day of such LIBOR Loan Period.

14.1.2              Laws Affecting LIBOR Basis Availability.  If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of the Lenders (or any of their respective lending offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their respective lending offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any LIBOR Loan, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to Agent and Agent shall promptly give notice to Borrower and the other Lenders.  Thereafter, until Agent notifies Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, (a) the obligations of the Lenders to make LIBOR Loans, and the right of Borrower to convert any Loan to a LIBOR Loan or continue any Loan as a LIBOR Loan shall be suspended and thereafter Borrower may select only Base Rate Loans and (b) if any of the Lenders may not lawfully continue to maintain a LIBOR Loan to the end of the then current LIBOR Loan Period applicable thereto, the applicable Loan shall immediately be converted to a Base Rate Loan for the remainder of such LIBOR Loan Period.

14.2                        Indemnity.  Borrower hereby indemnifies each of the Lenders against any loss or expense (including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain a LIBOR Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained) which may arise or be attributable to each Lender’s obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds acquired to effect, fund or maintain any Loan (a) as a consequence of any failure by Borrower to make any payment when due of any amount due hereunder in connection with a LIBOR Loan, (b) due to any failure of Borrower to borrow, continue or convert on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or Request for Conversion/Continuation or (c) due to any payment, prepayment or conversion of any LIBOR Loan on a date other than the last day of the LIBOR Loan Period therefor.  The amount of such loss or expense shall be determined, in the applicable Lender’s sole discretion, based upon the assumption that such Lender funded its Pro Rata Share of the LIBOR Loans in the London interbank market and using any reasonable attribution or averaging methods which such Lender deems appropriate and practical.  A certificate of such Lender setting forth the basis for determining such amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be forwarded to Borrower through Agent and shall be conclusively presumed to be correct save for manifest error.

79

14.3                        Increased Costs.

14.3.1              Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change in Law shall:

(a)                                 impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or advances, loans or other credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR Basis) or Fronting Bank;

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

(c)                                  impose on any Lender or Fronting Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender, Fronting Bank or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender, Fronting Bank or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, Fronting Bank or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon written request of such Lender, Fronting Bank or other Recipient, Borrower shall promptly pay to any such Lender, Fronting Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, Fronting Bank or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

80

14.3.3              Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Lender, or Fronting Bank or such other Recipient setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender Fronting Bank, such other Recipient or any of their respective holding companies, as the case may be, as specified in Section 14.3.1 or 14.3.2 and delivered to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Borrower shall pay such Lender or Fronting Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

14.3.4              Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Fronting Bank or such other Recipient to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Fronting Bank’s or such other Recipient’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender or Fronting Bank or any other Recipient pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender or Fronting Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or Fronting Bank’s or such other Recipient’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

14.4                        Taxes.

14.4.1              Defined Terms.  For purposes of this Section 14.4, the term “Lender” includes Fronting Bank and the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.

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

14.4.3              Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower.  Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

14.4.4              Indemnification by Borrower.  Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a

81

payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Recipient (with a copy to Agent), or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

14.4.5              Indemnification by the Lenders.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (a) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), and (b) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 14.4.5.

14.4.6              Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 14.4, Borrower shall deliver to Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

14.4.7              Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 14.4 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 14.4), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 14.4.7 (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 14.4.7, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 14.4.7) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This Section shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

82

14.4.8              Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 14.4 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

14.5                        Federal Reserve System/Wire Transfers. The obligation of any Lender to make any loan by wire transfer to Borrower or any other Person shall be subject to all Applicable Law, including the policy of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System on Reduction of Payments System Risk as in effect from time to time. Borrower acknowledges that such laws, regulations and policy may delay the transmission of any funds to Borrower.

14.6                        Assignment of Commitments Under Certain Circumstances; Duty to Mitigate.

14.6.1              If any Lender requests compensation under Section 14.3, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 14.4, then such Lender shall (at the request of Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 14.3 or 14.4, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

14.6.2              In the event (a) any Lender (i) requests compensation pursuant to Section 14.3 or (ii) requires Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 14.4 and, in each case of the foregoing subsections (i) and (ii), such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 14.6.1, (b) any Lender delivers a notice described in Section 14.1, 14.3 or 14.4, (c) any Lender refuses to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document requested by any Borrower and which consent is required under this Agreement for such amendment, waiver or other modification, or (d) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort (including with respect to the assignment fee referred to in Section 12.8.4), upon notice to such Lender and Agent, require such Lender to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 12.8.2), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such assigned obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (x) such assignment shall not conflict with any law, rule or regulation or order of any court or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, (y) Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, and (z) Borrower or such assignee shall have paid to the affected Lender in immediately available funds an amount equal to the sum of the principal of and interest accrued to the date of such payment on the outstanding Loans of such Lender, respectively, affected by such assignment plus all fees and other amounts accrued for the account of such Lender to the extent provided hereunder (and, with respect to replacement of a Defaulting Lender, any

83

additional amounts required to be paid under Section 12.8.6; provided further that, if prior to any such transfer and assignment the circumstances or event that resulted in such Lender’s claim for compensation or notice, as referred to above in (a) and (b) of this Section 14.6, as the case may be, cease to cause such Lender to suffer increased costs or reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital, or cease to have the consequences specified in Section 14.1, 14.3 or 14.4, or cease to result in amounts being payable under Section 14.1 or 14.2, as the case may be, or if such Lender shall waive its right to claim or notice under Section 14.1, 14.3 or 14.4, as applicable in respect of such circumstances or event or shall consent to the proposed amendment, waiver, consent or other modification, as the case may be, then such Lender shall not thereafter be required to make any such transfer and assignment hereunder. Each Lender hereby grants to Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender as assignor, any Commitment Assignment and Acceptance necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this paragraph. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such filing or assignment, delegation and transfer.
