1.7. Interest Rates; LIBOR Notifications. The interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is determined by reference to the LIBO Rate, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”). LIBOR is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) publicly announced that: (a) immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; and immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA’s consideration of the case, be provided on a changed methodology (or “synthetic”) basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition, or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published. Each party to this agreement should consult its own advisors to stay informed of any such developments. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, Section 3.5(b) and (c) provide the mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, pursuant to Section 3.5(e), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Eurodollar Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission or any other matter related to LIBOR or other rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any such alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 3.5(b) or (c), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 3.5(d)), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability.

2.1. The Credit Facility.

2.1.1. Revolving Credit Facility.

(a) Each Lender severally agrees, upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth, to make Loans to the Borrower from time to time in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding which, when added to such Lender’s Ratable Share of the Letter of Credit Obligations then outstanding, and after giving effect to the proposed Loan and application of the proceeds thereof to the repayment of any outstanding Obligations, (A) does not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitment and (B) does not cause the Borrowing Base Availability to become less than zero. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Loans.

(b) Subject to the terms hereof, the Revolving Credit Facility is available from the Closing Date to the Termination Date. The Commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility (or the applicable portion of the Commitments thereunder) will expire on the Termination Date therefor.

Each ABR Advance shall continue as an ABR Advance unless and until such ABR Advance is converted into a Eurodollar Advance in accordance with this Section 2.2.4 or is prepaid in accordance with Section 2.6. Each Eurodollar Advance shall continue as a Eurodollar Advance of such Type until the end of the then applicable Interest Period therefor, at which time such Eurodollar Advance shall be automatically continued as a Eurodollar Advance with an Interest Period of one month unless such Eurodollar Advance shall have been either (a) prepaid in accordance with Section 2.6, (b) continued as a Eurodollar Advance for another Interest Period in accordance with this Section 2.2.4 or (c) converted into an ABR Advance in accordance with this Section 2.2.4. Subject to the terms of Section 2.5, the Borrower may elect from time to time to convert and/or continue the Rate Option applicable to all or any part of an Advance into another Rate Option; provided that any conversion or continuation of any Eurodollar Advance shall be made on, and only on, the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice substantially the form of Exhibit G hereto (a “Rate Option Notice”) of each conversion of an ABR Advance into a Eurodollar Advance, or continuation of a Eurodollar Advance or the conversion of a Eurodollar Advance into an ABR Advance, not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) (x) on the Business Day of the conversion of a Eurodollar Advance into an ABR Advance or (y) at least two Business Days prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation of an Advance into or as a Eurodollar Advance, specifying:

(i) the requested date, which shall be a Business Day, of such conversion or continuation;

2.4. Undrawn Fee; Reductions in Aggregate Commitment.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender) an undrawn commitment fee (“Undrawn Fee”) at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Fee Rate on the average daily Available Commitment from the Closing Date to and including the latest Termination Date, payable quarterly in arrears, with such payment being due, with respect to any calendar quarter, not later than the fifth day after submission by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower of an invoice for such calendar quarter, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof and, with respect to each Lender, upon termination or expiration of the Commitment of such Lender.

(b) The Borrower may permanently reduce the Aggregate Commitment in whole, or in part in integral multiples of $10,000,000, upon at least three Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall specify the amount of any such reduction, provided, however, that (i) the amount of the Aggregate Commitment may not be reduced below the sum of (A) aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Loans and (B) the Letter of Credit Obligations and (ii) any such reduction of the Aggregate Commitment shall be allocated ratably among the Commitments of the Lenders (based on their respective Ratable Shares); provided that the Commitments may be terminated in their entirety if all of the Advances have been repaid in full and no Letter of Credit Obligations are outstanding, except undrawn Alternative Letters of Credit, which shall be governed by a reimbursement agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Banks.

2.5. Minimum Amount of Each Advance; Maximum Number of Advances. Each Eurodollar Advance shall be in the minimum amount of $5,000,000 (and in multiples of $1,000,000 if in excess thereof), and each ABR Advance shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 (and in multiples of $1,000,000 if in excess thereof), provided, however, that any ABR Advance may be in the amount of the Borrowing Base Availability. There shall be no more than ten (10) Eurodollar Advances outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility at any time.

2.6. Prepayments.

(a) The Borrower may from time to time prepay, without penalty or premium, all outstanding ABR Advances, or, in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, any portion of the outstanding ABR Advances upon one Business Day’s prior notice to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower may from time to time pay, upon three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.6 but without penalty or premium, (i) all of a Eurodollar Advance, or (ii) in a minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (and provided such payment would not reduce the outstanding principal amount of such Eurodollar Advance to less than $5,000,000) any portion of a Eurodollar Advance.

(b) If, on any date, Borrowing Base Debt exceeds the Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall, no later than one Business Day after such date (unless, for the avoidance of doubt, Borrower has otherwise reduced Borrowing Base Debt so that it no longer exceeds the Borrowing Base on such Business Day), prepay Loans and/or Cash Collateralize Letter of Credit Obligations in accordance with this Section 2.6(b) such that (i) Borrowing Base Debt is equal to or less than the Borrowing Base or (ii) all Letters of Credit are Cash Collateralized and there are no Loans outstanding. Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments made pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be applied, first, to the prepayment of Loans, and second, if the aggregate principal amount of Loans then outstanding is less than the amount of such prepayments because Letter of Credit Obligations constitute a portion thereof, the Administrative Agent shall deposit the balance of such prepayments in a cash collateral account established with the Administrative

-38-

Agent for the benefit of the Lenders on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to Cash Collateralize Letter of Credit Obligations. The application of any prepayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 2.6(b) shall be made, first, to ABR Loans and, second, to Eurodollar Loans.

2.7. Funding.

Interest Rates.(a) Each ABR Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such ABR Loan is made or is automatically converted from a Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan pursuant to Section 2.2.4, to but excluding the date it is paid or is converted into a Eurodollar Loan pursuant to Section 2.2.4, at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate for such day plus the Applicable Base Rate Margin for such day. Changes in the rate of interest on any ABR Loan will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate or the Applicable Base Rate Margin.

(b) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Eurodollar Margin in effect two Business Days prior to the first day of such Interest Period.

2.9. Rates Applicable After Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.2, during the continuance of a Default, the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 9.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders adversely affected thereby to a reduction in an interest rate), declare that no Loan may be made as, converted into or continued (after the then applicable Interest Period therefor) as a Eurodollar Loan. During the continuance of a Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, declare that (i) each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest at the rate otherwise applicable to such Eurodollar Loan plus 2% per annum, (ii) each ABR Loan shall bear interest at the rate per annum otherwise applicable to such ABR Loan plus 2% per annum and (iii) any other amount outstanding shall bear interest at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans plus 2% per annum, provided that, during the continuance of a Default under Section 8.5 or 8.6, the interest rates set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above shall be applicable to all applicable Loans without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

2.10. Method and Allocation of Payments.

Each payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the Administrative Agent received at its address specified pursuant to Article XIV or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Administrative Agent from such Lender.

-39-

(b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.10(c) and (d):

(i) Payments of principal on Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be allocated among the Lenders based on their Ratable Shares; except that payment of principal of Loans made under Commitments on the termination date thereof shall be made ratably to the Lenders of such Commitments; and

(ii) Payments of interest on Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be allocated among the Lenders based on their Ratable Shares; except that payment of interest accrued on Loans made under Commitments on the termination date thereof shall be made ratably to the Lenders of such Commitments.

(c) Payments made by the Borrower shall be applied first, to interest and fees accrued on the Loans or Commitments and second, to the principal of the Loans.

(d) If the Administrative Agent receives payments on any Business Day of any amounts payable to any Lender hereunder and fails to pay such amount to such Lender (i) on or before the close of business on such day if such payment was received by 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on such day or (ii) on or before the next succeeding Business Day if such payment was received after 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on such day of receipt, the Administrative Agent shall pay to such Lender interest on such unpaid amount at the NYFRB Rate until such amount is so paid to such Lender.

2.11. Noteless Agreement; Evidence of Indebtedness.

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

(b) The Administrative Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder and the Rate Option and Interest Period with respect thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

(c) The entries maintained in the accounts maintained pursuant to Sections 2.11(a) and (b) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the Obligations therein recorded; provided however that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Obligations in accordance with their terms.

(d) Any Lender may request that its Loans be evidenced by a Note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender the Note or Notes payable to the order of such Lender in a form supplied by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 13.2) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the order of the payee named therein or any assignee pursuant to Section 13.2, except to the extent that any such Lender or assignee subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in Sections 2.11(a) and (b) above.

2.12. [Reserved]

-40-

2.13. Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis. Interest accrued on each ABR Advance shall be payable monthly, with such payment being due, with respect to any calendar month, not later than the fifth day after submission by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower of an invoice for such calendar month (or portion thereof in the case of August 2018). Interest accrued on each Eurodollar Advance shall be payable on the last day of its applicable Interest Period, on any date on which the Eurodollar Advance is prepaid, whether due to acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on each Eurodollar Advance having an Interest Period longer than three months shall also be payable on each day prior to the last day of such Interest Period that occurs at intervals of three months’ duration after the first day of such Interest Period. Interest and fees under this Agreement shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year except that interest on ABR Advances made at the Prime Rate shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365-day (or, if applicable, 366-day) year. Interest shall be payable for the day a Loan is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on a Loan shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.

2.14. Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Aggregate Commitment Reductions. Promptly after receipt thereof, (a) the Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each Aggregate Commitment reduction notice, and (b) the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of each Borrowing Notice, Rate Option Notice and repayment notice received by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the interest rate applicable to each Eurodollar Loan promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate or Applicable Base Rate Margin.

2.15. Lending Installations. Each Lender may book its Loans at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender and may change its Lending Installation from time to time. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the applicable Loans and Notes issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each Lender for the benefit of such Lending Installation. Each Lender may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in accordance with Article XIV, designate replacement or additional Lending Installations through which Loans will be made by it and for whose account Loan payments are to be made.

2.16. Non-Receipt of Funds by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Borrower or a Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Administrative Agent prior to the date, or time of day in the case of same-day borrowings, on which it is scheduled to make payment to the Administrative Agent of (i) in the case of a Lender, the proceeds of a Loan or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, a payment of principal, interest or fees to the Administrative Agent for the account of any of the Lenders, that it does not intend to make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that such payment has been made. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the amount of such payment available to the intended recipient in reliance upon such assumption. If such Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, has not in fact made such payment to the Administrative Agent, the recipient of such payment shall, on demand by the Administrative Agent, repay to the Administrative Agent the amount so made available, together with interest thereon, in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date such amount was so made available by the Administrative Agent until the date the Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (x) in the case of payment by a Lender, the NYFRB Rate for such day or (y) in the case of payment by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans.

2.17. Extension of Termination Dates and Maturity Dates. The Borrower may request, but not more than once in each fiscal year of the Borrower and on no more than three occasions in the aggregate after the Closing Date, an extension of the Termination Date applicable to all or a portion of the Commitments by submitting a request for an extension to the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Request”). The Extension Request must specify the new Termination Date (the “Extended Maturity Date”), requested by the Borrower with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility or portion of the Commitments thereunder (the date, if any, on which such Extended Maturity Date becomes effective, the “Extension Date”). The Extended Maturity Date shall be not more than one year after the then-existing Termination Date. The Extension Request shall be accompanied by a certificate, signed by the chief financial officer, controller or chief accounting officer of the Borrower, stating that on the date of the Extension Request, no Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing and that all of the representations and warranties in Article VI are true and correct in all material respects (except (i) to the extent any such representation or warranty is stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date and (ii) to the extent already qualified by materiality, in which case said representations and warranties are true and correct in all respects). On the Extension Date (and as a condition to effectiveness of the extension to occur on such Extension Date), the Borrower shall deliver a certificate, signed by the chief financial officer, controller or chief accounting officer of the Borrower, stating that on the Extension Date, no Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing and that all of the representations and warranties in Article VI are true and correct in all material respects (except (i) to the extent any such representation or warranty is stated to relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date and (ii) to the extent already qualified by materiality, in which case said representations and warranties are true and correct in all respects). Promptly upon receipt of an Extension Request, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the contents thereof and shall request each Lender under such Revolving Credit Facility to approve the Extension Request (which approval may be given or withheld by each Lender in its sole discretion). If the Borrower makes an Extension Request, a Lender may, at its election, approve or deny the requested extension of a Termination Date (it being understood that no Lender shall be under any obligation to approve an extension of any Termination Date). Each Lender approving an Extension Request shall deliver its written approval no later than 30 days following such Extension Request or such later date agreed to by the Borrower (such 30th or later date, the “Extension Response Deadline”). If written approval of the Required Lenders is not received by the Administrative Agent by the Extension Response Deadline, the Extension Request shall be denied. If written approval of the Required Lenders is received by the Administrative Agent by the Extension Response Deadline, the Termination Date shall be extended to the Extended Maturity Date but only with respect to Commitments of the Lenders that have given such written approval (the “Extending Lenders”). To the extent an extension fee is agreed among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Extending Lenders, the Borrower shall pay such extension fee to the Extending Lenders, payable on the Extension Date. A Declining Lender may be replaced prior to the Extension Date applicable to such Extension Request as provided in Section 2.20(b). If a Declining Lender is not so replaced, (a) the Aggregate Commitment shall be decreased by the Commitment of each such Declining Lender (with concurrent reduction in the Commitments) as of the applicable Termination Date and (b) the Loans made under the Commitment not extended and all interest, fees and other amounts owed to such Declining Lender with respect to the non-extended Commitments shall be paid in full on the applicable Declining Lender’s Termination Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, following the applicable Extension Date, the Termination Date applicable to any Declining Lender’s Commitment may be extended to the Extended Maturity Date pursuant to a written agreement between such Declining Lender and the Borrower (which written agreement shall be promptly delivered to the Administrative Agent and shall not contain terms more favorable to such Lender than those provided to the Lenders that initially approved the Extended Maturity Date) without complying with any of the other requirements set forth above.

-42-

2.18. Facility Increase.

(a) The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, by notice to the Administrative Agent, request an increase in the Aggregate Commitment (a “Facility Increase”), which notice shall set forth the amount of such requested Facility Increase. Such Facility Increase may be effected (i) by having one or more New Lenders become Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility and/or (ii) by having any one or more of the then-existing Lenders under the Revolving Credit Facility (at their respective election in their sole discretion), in each case, that have been approved by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (such approval by the Administrative Agent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), increase the amount of their existing Commitments, provided that (i) each Facility Increase shall be in an amount not less than $5,000,000, (ii) after giving effect to the Facility Increase, the Aggregate Commitment shall not exceed the Aggregate Credit Facility Limit, (iii) no Unmatured Default or Default exists or would exist after giving effect to the Facility Increase, (iv) all financial covenants set forth in Section 7.27 would be satisfied on a pro forma basis for the most recent determination period, assuming that the Loans outstanding on the date of effectiveness of the Facility Increase had been outstanding on the last day of such determination period, (v) any Facility Increase shall be pursuant to this Agreement, and (vi) the terms and conditions of any Facility Increase shall be the same as the terms and conditions applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility; provided that if there is more than one Termination Date at the time of effectiveness of a Facility Increase, the Termination Date for the Facility Increase shall be the latest Termination Date.

(b) As a condition to a Facility Increase, (i) the Borrower and each applicable Additional Lender shall have executed and delivered a commitment and acceptance (the “Commitment and Acceptance”) substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto and the Administrative Agent shall have accepted and executed the same; (ii) if requested by an Additional Lender, the Borrower shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent the applicable Note payable to the order of such Additional Lender; (iii) the Guarantors shall have consented in writing to the Facility Increase and shall have agreed that their Guaranty Agreements continue in full force and effect; (iv) the Borrower and each Additional Lender shall otherwise have executed and delivered such other instruments and documents as the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably requested in connection with such Facility Increase; and (v) if requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent opinions of counsel (substantially similar to the forms of opinions provided for in Section 5.1(ix), modified to apply to the Facility Increase and to each Note, Commitment and Acceptance, and other documents executed and delivered in connection with such Facility Increase). The form and substance of the documents required under clauses (i) through (v) above shall be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly provide written notice to all of the Lenders hereunder of each Facility Increase and shall promptly provide copies of each Commitment and Acceptance to all of the Lenders.

(c) Upon the effective date of any Facility Increase pursuant to the provisions hereof (the “Increase Date”), which Increase Date shall be mutually agreed upon by the Borrower, each applicable Additional Lender and the Administrative Agent, (A) such Additional Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received, without recourse or warranty, from the Lenders party to this Agreement immediately prior to the Increase Date, an undivided interest and participation in any Letter of Credit then outstanding, ratably, such that each Lender (including each Additional Lender) holds a participation interest in each such Letter of Credit in the amount of its then Ratable Share thereof; and (B) each Additional Lender shall make its Ratable Share of all Advances made on or after such Increase Date and shall otherwise have all of the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder on and after such Increase Date.

-43-

(d) After the Increase Date, the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide to each Lender a new Schedule 1 to this Agreement. In the event that there are any Loans outstanding after giving effect to an increase in the Aggregate Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.18, upon notice from Administrative Agent to each Lender, the amount of such Loans owing to each Lender shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect the new Commitments and the new Ratable Shares, it being intended that all Loans be held ratably in accordance with the Ratable Shares. If, as a result of any such adjustment to the amount of Loans owing to any Lender, any payment of all or a portion of any Eurodollar Loan owing to any such Lender occurs on a day which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the affected Lenders any loss or cost incurred by such Lenders resulting therefrom in accordance with Section 3.6.

(e) Nothing contained herein shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment or agreement on the part of any Lender to increase its Commitment hereunder at any time or a commitment or agreement on the part of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to give or grant any Lender the right to increase its Commitment hereunder at any time.

2.19. [Reserved]

2.20. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of a Lender.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.1 or 3.2, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts in respect of any Indemnified Taxes to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.7, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Installation 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 3.1, 3.2 or 3.7, as the case may be, in the future, or would cause Section 3.5 to be inapplicable, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.1, Section 3.2 or Section 3.7 (only to the extent that such Lender’s request for compensation is in respect of Indemnified Taxes and is materially greater than requests made by other similarly situated Lenders under Section 3.7), or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts in respect of any Indemnified Taxes to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.7, or if a Lender gives notice of illegality pursuant to Section 3.5 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Lending Installation in accordance with Section 2.20(a) or Section 3.5, as the case may be, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, a Non-Consenting Lender or a Declining Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 13.2), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 3.1 or Section 3.7) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 13.3;

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and funded participations in Letters of Credit, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.6) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

-44-

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.1 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.7, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law;

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

(vi) in the case of an assignment by a Declining Lender, the applicable assignee shall agree at the time of such assignment to the extension to the new Termination Date, which agreement shall be set forth in a written instrument delivered and satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

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

2.21. Termination of Commitment of Declining Lender or Non-Consenting Lender. At any time prior to the replacement of a Declining Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to Section 2.20, the Borrower may, upon not less than 15 days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent and such Declining Lender or Non-Consenting Lender, as the case may be, terminate any Commitment of such Declining Lender or Non-Consenting Lender, as the case may be, as of a Business Day (in the case of the termination of a Commitment of a Declining Lender, prior to such Declining Lender’s Termination Date) set forth in such notice; provided, however, that if such Declining Lender or Non-Consenting Lender, as the case may be, is an Issuing Bank, such termination of a Commitment shall be permitted only upon satisfaction of the requirements set forth in Section 4.10. In the event of such termination of a Commitment, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent on the date of termination of such Commitment, for the account of such Declining Lender or Non-Consenting Lender, as the case may be, all Loans and other sums payable to such Declining Lender or Non-Consenting Lender, as the case may be. Such Declining Lender or Non-Consenting Lender, as the case may be, shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.6, 3.7, 4.6, 4.9 and 10.6 to the extent such Declining Lender’s or Non-Consenting Lender’s, as the case may be, entitlement to such benefit arose out of its position as a Lender prior to the termination of its Commitment.

2.22. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents:

(a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

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

-45-

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 12.1 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Letter of Credit Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 4.10; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Unmatured Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ future Letter of Credit Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 4.10; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuing Banks against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document; seventh, so long as no Default or Unmatured Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or outstanding Letters of Credit Obligations in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Obligations are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Commitments without giving effect to clause (iv) below. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.22(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. (A) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Undrawn Fee or Letter of Credit Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(B) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Ratable Share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 4.10.

-46-

(C) With respect to any Undrawn Fee or Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Obligations that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to each Issuing Bank the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank’s Letter of Credit Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Obligations shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. Subject to Section 10.14, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(v) Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Letter of Credit Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 4.10.

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

(c) New Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Letter of Credit Exposure after giving effect thereto.

ARTICLE III

INCREASED COSTS; TAXES

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

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or any Issuing Bank;

(ii) subject any Lender or Issuing Bank to any Taxes (other than (A) any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes indemnified under Section 3.7 and (B) Excluded Taxes); or

(iii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or 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 or Issuing Bank 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 or Issuing Bank 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 or Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then, upon receipt by the Borrower of a certificate delivered by such Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 3.3, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided, in each case, that such Lender or such Issuing Bank has requested such payments from similarly situated borrowers.

3.2. Capital Adequacy. If any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuing Bank or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then, upon receipt by the Borrower of a certificate delivered by such Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 3.3, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered; provided, in each case, that such Lender or such Issuing Bank has requested such payments from similarly situated borrowers.

3.3. Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 3.1 or 3.2 and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

-48-

3.4. Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

3.5. Alternate Rate of Interest.

(a) Subject to clauses (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g) of this Section 3.5, if prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing:

(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable (including because the LIBO Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period; provided that no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred at such time; or

(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders (or, in the case of a Eurodollar Competitive Loan, the Lender that is required to make such Loan) that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, (B) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing and (C) any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Competitive Borrowing shall be ineffective; provided that (x) if the circumstances giving rise to such notice do not affect all the Lenders, then requests by the Borrower for Eurodollar Competitive Borrowings may be made to Lenders that are not affected thereby and (y) if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Borrowings, then the other Type of Borrowings shall be permitted.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of

-49-

such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, if a Term SOFR Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that, this clause (c) shall not be effective unless the Administrative Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Borrower a Term SOFR Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver a Term SOFR Notice after a Term SOFR Transition Event and may do so in its sole discretion.

(d) In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(e) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (d) above and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.5, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.5.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or LIBO Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.

(g) Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to ABR Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of ABR based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of ABR.

3.6. Funding Indemnification. If (a) (i) any payment of a Eurodollar Loan occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise (including the occurrence during the Interest Period of the Termination Date applicable to the Commitment under which such Eurodollar Loan was made), (ii) a Eurodollar Advance is not made, or (iii) any Advance is not continued or converted into a Eurodollar Advance, on the date specified by the Borrower, in each case, for any reason other than default by one or more of the Lenders or (b) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.20, then the Borrower will indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost (including any reasonable internal administrative costs) incurred by it resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any loss or cost in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain such Eurodollar Advance. Determination of amounts payable under this Section 3.6 in connection with a Eurodollar Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its Eurodollar Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the interest rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not.

3.7. Taxes.

(a) For purposes of this Section 3.7, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank.

(b) All payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then the applicable withholding agent shall 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 or Other Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after all such deductions or withholdings have been made by any applicable withholding agent (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.7) each Lender (or, in the case of payments made to the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made.

(c) In addition, the Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse the Administrative Agent for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.7) payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

-51-

(e) [Reserved]

(f) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.7, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(g) (i) Each Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to any payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, each Lender shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Each Lender shall, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders any such documentation (including any specific documentation required below in this Section 3.7(g)) obsolete, expired or inaccurate in any respect, deliver promptly to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent updated or other appropriate documentation (including any new documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its legal ineligibility to do so.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

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

(B) each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

i) two properly completed and duly executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor form) claiming eligibility for the applicable benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party;

ii) two properly completed and duly executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor form);

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) two properly completed and duly executed certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit E-1 (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) two properly completed and duly executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor form); or

-52-

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

(C) 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 the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and to determine, if necessary, the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (C), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.7(g), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any documentation pursuant to this Section 3.7(g) that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to deliver to the Borrower and any successor Administrative Agent any documentation provided by the Lender to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 3.7(g).

(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender receives a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.7 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.7), it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, under this Section 3.7 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, shall repay the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender if the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.

-53-

(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.7 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative 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.

ARTICLE IV

THE LETTER OF CREDIT FACILITY

4.1. Letters of Credit. At the request of the Borrower, each Issuing Bank shall, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, issue from time to time for the account of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, through such offices or branches as it and the Borrower may jointly agree, one or more Letters of Credit in accordance with this Article IV, during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the Business Day prior to the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided that (i) the aggregate face amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding at any time shall not exceed the Aggregate L/C Limit and (ii) no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend or amend any Letter of Credit if after giving effect thereto the aggregate face amount of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank would exceed such Issuing Bank’s L/C Limit. On the Closing Date, the Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be issued and outstanding under this Agreement and shall be Letters of Credit for all purposes of the Loan Documents.

4.2. Limitations.

(a) No Issuing Bank shall issue, amend or extend, at any time, any Letter of Credit:

(i) if, after giving effect to the Letter of Credit or amendment or extension thereof requested hereunder, the aggregate maximum amount then available for drawing under Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank shall exceed any limit imposed by Applicable Law upon such Issuing Bank or any Lender;

(ii) if, after giving effect to the Letter of Credit or amendment or extension thereof requested hereunder, (x) the Borrowing Base Availability would be less than zero or (y) the Letter of Credit Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank would exceed such Issuing Bank’s L/C Limit;

(iii) if such Issuing Bank receives written notice from the Administrative Agent on the proposed Issuance Date of such Letter of Credit that the conditions precedent contained in Section 5.1 or 5.2, as applicable, would not on such Issuance Date be satisfied unless such conditions are thereafter satisfied and written notice of such satisfaction is given to such Issuing Bank by the Administrative Agent;

(iv) that is in a currency other than United States dollars;

(v) subject to Section 4.4(d), if the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the second anniversary of the date of issuance thereof, unless agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank;

-54-

(vi) if the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank approve; provided that (x) on or prior to the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize such Letter of Credit and (y) in no event shall any Letter of Credit issued under this Agreement have an expiry date that occurs after the first anniversary of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date;

(vii) (A) if, in the event that any Termination Date has been extended pursuant to Section 2.17, the undrawn face amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding at the time of such issuance, amendment or extension (other than Letters of Credit that have already been or will concurrently be Cash Collateralized in accordance with this clause (vii)) would, at any time prior to the expiry date of all such Letters of Credit, exceed the Aggregate Commitment at any time prior to such expiry (after giving effect to the expiration of the Commitments of Declining Lenders and any Termination Date scheduled to occur prior to such expiry), unless the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank approve and the Borrower shall have Cash Collateralized such amount of Letters of Credit such that the excess condition referred to in this clause (vii)(A) does not exist and (B) if, in the event that any Termination Date has been extended pursuant to Section 2.17, the undrawn face amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding at the time of such issuance, amendment or extension (other than Letters of Credit that have already been or will concurrently be Cash Collateralized in accordance with this clause (vii)) would, at any time prior to the expiry date of all such Letters of Credit, exceed the Aggregate L/C Limit at any time prior to such expiry (after giving effect to the expiration of the Commitments of Declining Lenders and any Termination Date scheduled to occur prior to such expiry), unless the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank approve and the Borrower shall have Cash Collateralized such amount of Letters of Credit such that the excess condition referred to in this clause (vii)(B) does not exist; provided, however that no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend or amend any Letter of Credit if any Termination Date has been extended pursuant to Section 2.17 and the undrawn face amount of all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank and outstanding at the time of such issuance, amendment or extension (other than Letters of Credit that have already been or will concurrently be Cash Collateralized in accordance with this clause (vii)) would, at any time prior to the expiry date of all such Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, exceed such Issuing Bank’s L/C Limit at any time prior to such expiry; or

(viii) if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender and after giving effect to the issuance of such Letters of Credit or amendment or extension thereof, the sum of Exposures of the Non-Defaulting Lenders would exceed the Non-Defaulting Lenders’ ratable portion of the Aggregate Commitment, unless such excess amount is Cash Collateralized by the Borrower in accordance with Section 4.10.

(b) An Issuing Bank shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

(i) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or require that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense that was not applicable on the Closing Date and that such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it; or

(ii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally.

-55-

4.3. Conditions. In addition to being subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained in Sections 5.1 and 5.2, as applicable, the issuance of any Letter of Credit is subject to the satisfaction in full of the condition that the Borrower shall have delivered to such Issuing Bank at such times and in such manner as the Issuing Bank may reasonably prescribe such documents (including, if requested, an Application) and materials as may be reasonably required pursuant to the terms thereof, and the proposed Letter of Credit shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank in form and content.

4.4. Procedure for Issuance of Letters of Credit.

(a) The Borrower shall give such Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent not less than five (5) Business Days’ (or such shorter period as such Issuing Bank, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall agree) prior written notice of any requested issuance of a Letter of Credit under this Agreement. Such notice shall specify (i) the stated amount of the Letter of Credit requested, (ii) the requested Issuance Date, which shall be a Business Day, (iii) the date on which such requested Letter of Credit is to expire, which date shall be in compliance with the requirements of Section 4.2(v) and (vi), (iv) the purpose for which such Letter of Credit is to be issued and (v) the Person for whose benefit the requested Letter of Credit is to be issued. At the time such request is made, the Borrower shall also provide such Issuing Bank with a copy of the form of the Letter of Credit it is requesting be issued and the proposed form shall be reasonably acceptable to the Issuing Bank.

(b) [Reserved]

(c) An Issuing Bank shall not extend (other than by operation of an automatic renewal provision) or amend any Letter of Credit unless the requirements of this Section 4.4 and Sections 4.1 and 4.2 are met as though a new Letter of Credit were being requested and issued.

(d) If Borrower so requests in any Application, then an Issuing Bank shall issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Evergreen Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Evergreen Letter of Credit must permit such Issuing Bank to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve (12) month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than 30 days (the “Nonextension Notice Date”) prior to the last day of such twelve (12) month period. The Issuing Bank shall use commercially reasonable efforts to advise the Borrower of any such notice of nonextension. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable Issuing Bank, Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such Issuing Bank for any such extension. Once an Evergreen Letter of Credit has been issued, Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable Issuing Bank to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to a date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that such Issuing Bank shall not permit any such extension if (i) such Issuing Bank would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its extended form under the terms hereof (except that Section 4.3 shall not apply), or (ii) it has received notice (which must be in writing) on or before the date that is 10 Business Days preceding the Nonextension Notice Date from Administrative Agent or Borrower that one (1) or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 5.2 is not then satisfied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Issuing Bank shall have any obligation to permit the extension of any Evergreen Letter of Credit at any time.

(e) Any Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, issue to the Borrower or any Subsidiary letters of credit (that are not Letters of Credit) for its own account, and at its own risk. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall apply to any letter of credit that is not a Letter of Credit.

-56-

4.5. Duties of Issuing Bank. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment, shall not put such Issuing Bank under any resulting liability to any Lender or, relieve any Lender of its obligations hereunder to such Issuing Bank. In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank shall have no obligation to the Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered in compliance with the requirements of such Letter of Credit.

4.6. Participation; Reimbursement.

(a) Immediately upon issuance by an Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 4.4, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from such Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, in the amount of its Ratable Share of, such Letter of Credit (including, without limitation, all obligations of the Borrower with respect thereto other than amounts owing to such Issuing Bank under Section 3.2). Immediately upon the Declining Lender’s Termination Date of a Declining Lender or termination of the Commitment of a Declining Lender or Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to Section 2.21, each other Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from such Declining Lender or Non-Consenting Lender, without recourse or warranty, a portion of each such Declining Lender’s or Non-Consenting Lender’s undivided interest and participation in all outstanding Letters of Credit (in the proportion of the Ratable Shares of such purchasing Lenders determined immediately following the termination of the Commitment of such Declining Lender or Non-Consenting Lender) such that, upon such purchase, each Lender holds an undivided interest and participation in all outstanding Letters of Credit in the amount of its then Ratable Share thereof; provided that in no event shall such reallocation result in the Exposure of any Lender exceeding its Commitment. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Date (other than the latest Termination Date then applicable), the aggregate amount of participations in Letters of Credit held by Lenders in respect of Commitments terminating on such Termination Date shall be deemed to be reallocated to the Lenders holding Commitments which are not terminating on such date, such that, upon such reallocation, the participation of the remaining Lenders in outstanding Letters of Credit shall be in proportion to their respective Ratable Shares; provided that in no event shall such reallocation result in the Exposure of any Lender exceeding its Commitment.

(b) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof and the date required for payment of such drawing under such Letter of Credit. In the event that an Issuing Bank makes any payment under any Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall unconditionally reimburse such Issuing Bank not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the next Business Day immediately following the day on which the Borrower receives notice of such payment from the Issuing Bank, whether payment is made through an Advance hereunder or otherwise. If the Borrower shall not have repaid such amount to such Issuing Bank on or before the date of such payment by such Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank shall promptly so notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly so notify each Lender. Upon receipt of such notice, each Lender severally agrees that it shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent (in same day funds) for the account of such Issuing Bank the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Share of the payments so made by such Issuing Bank, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay such amount, and any other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for such Issuing Bank’s account pursuant to this Section 4.6(b), to such Issuing Bank. If the Administrative Agent so notifies such Lender prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on any Business Day, such Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank such Lender’s Ratable Share of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds. If and to the extent such Lender shall not have so made its Ratable Share of the amount of such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing

-57-

Bank forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such payment was first due until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank, at the NYFRB Rate. The failure of any Lender to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank such Lender’s Ratable Share of any such payment shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank its Ratable Share of any payment on the date such payment is to be made.

(c) The Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.2.3 that such payment be financed with an ABR Advance in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Advance. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any payment (other than the funding of ABR Advances as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such payment.

(d) [Reserved]

(e) The obligations of the Lenders to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuing Bank with respect to a Letter of Credit and the Borrower’s reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit hereunder shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and not subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever, including, without limitation, the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents;

(ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), such Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transactions between the Borrower or any other Loan Party and the beneficiary named in any Letter of Credit);

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

(iv) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents;

(v) any failure by the Administrative Agent or an Issuing Bank to make any reports required pursuant to Section 4.8;

(vi) the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default;

(vii) payment by an Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or

-58-

(viii) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

(f) The Borrower’s reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit hereunder to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuing Bank under this Section 4.6 shall, in each case, continue until all Letters of Credit of such Issuing Bank have expired, regardless of whether (i) such Letters of Credit have been Cash Collateralized, (ii) any Commitment has terminated or (iii) the Issuing Bank of such Letter of Credit is a Declining Lender or has been replaced pursuant to Section 2.20.

(g) The Lenders’ obligation in respect of Letters of Credit hereunder to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of an Issuing Bank under this Section 4.6 shall, in each case, continue until all Letters of Credit of such Issuing Bank have expired, regardless of whether (i) such Letters of Credit have been Cash Collateralized, (ii) subject to the last two sentences of Section 4.6(a), any Commitment has terminated or (iii) the Issuing Bank of such Letter of Credit is a Declining Lender or has been replaced pursuant to Section 2.20; provided that if an Issuing Bank agrees to issue, amend or extend a Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 4.2(vi) or (vii), a Lender’s obligation in respect of such Letter of Credit hereunder to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank under this Section 4.6 shall expire upon termination of such Lender’s Commitment unless at the time of such termination an Unmatured Default or Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

4.7. Compensation for Letters of Credit.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (except to the extent that the Borrower shall be required to pay directly to the Lenders as provided in Section 4.7(d)), in the case of each outstanding Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Fee therefor, payable quarterly in arrears as hereinafter provided on the daily average face amount (net of permanent reductions) of each Letter of Credit outstanding at any time during the preceding calendar quarter. The Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears (i) with respect to any calendar quarter, not later than five days following Administrative Agent’s delivery to the Borrower of the invoice for such calendar quarter, (ii) on each Termination Date and (iii) if any Letter of Credit remains outstanding after the latest Termination Date, with respect to any calendar quarter thereafter through the last calendar quarter during which the last Letter of Credit ceases to be outstanding, not later than five days following Administrative Agent’s delivery to the Borrower of the invoice for such calendar quarter (each such date specified in clause (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Quarterly Payment Date”). The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit such Letter of Credit Fees, when received by it, to the Lenders based on their Ratable Shares of the Revolving Credit Facility.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank (except to the extent that the Borrower shall be required to pay directly to the Issuing Bank as provided in Section 4.7(d)) a fronting fee for each Letter of Credit in an amount equal to 0.125% per annum times the daily undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date (including, if any Letter of Credit remains outstanding after the latest Termination Date, each Quarterly Payment Date thereafter until the first Quarterly Payment Date after the date on which the last outstanding Letter of Credit ceases to be outstanding). The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit such fronting fee, when received by it, to such Issuing Bank.

(c) Borrower shall pay to the applicable Issuing Bank, promptly upon demand, the amount of any fees (in addition to the fees described in Sections 4.7(a) and 4.7(b)) which such Issuing Bank customarily charges to a Person similarly situated in the ordinary course of its business for issuing, amending or extending Letters of Credit, for honoring drafts, and taking similar action in connection with Letters of Credit, together with all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Issuing Bank incurred in connection therewith.

-59-

(d) After the latest Termination Date and the payment in full of all other Obligations, the Borrower shall make on each Quarterly Payment Date (i) payments of Letter of Credit Fees under Section 4.7(a) directly to the Lenders in the amounts of their respective Ratable Shares thereof and (ii) payments of fronting fees under Section 4.7(b) directly to each Issuing Bank that issued a Letter of Credit that was outstanding at any time during the prior calendar quarter.

(e) Letter of Credit Fees and fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 4.7(b) shall be calculated, on a pro rata basis for the period to which such payment applies, for actual days elapsed during such period, on the basis of a 360-day year.

(b) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, an Issuing Bank shall furnish to the requesting Administrative Agent or Lender copies of any Letter of Credit or Application to which such Issuing Bank is party.

4.9. Indemnification; Nature of Issuing Bank’s Duties.

(a) In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in this Article IV, the Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save and hold the Administrative Agent and each Lender and Issuing Bank harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from the claims of third parties against the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any Letter of Credit other than, in the case of an Issuing Bank, as a result of its willful misconduct or gross negligence as proven in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, or (ii) the failure of an Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under a Letter of Credit issued by it as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or governmental authority.

(b) As among the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and any Issuing Bank, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender nor (subject to the provisions of Section 4.9(d)) an Issuing Bank shall be responsible: (i) for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of the Letters of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) for failure of the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv)

-60-

None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of any rights or powers of an Issuing Bank under this Section 4.9.

(c) In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by an Issuing Bank under or in connection with the Letters of Credit or any related certificates, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put such Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Lender under any resulting liability to the Borrower or relieve the Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder to any such Person.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.9, the Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify an Issuing Bank under this Section 4.9 in respect of any liability incurred by such Issuing Bank arising primarily out of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Issuing Bank, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment.

4.10. Cash Collateralization.

(a) [Reserved]

(b) At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within two Business Days following the written request of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s share of the Issuing Banks’ Letter of Credit Exposure with respect to Standard Letters of Credit (determined after giving effect to Section 2.22(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender).

(i) The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Banks, and agrees to maintain, an exclusive perfected security interest, subject only to any inchoate tax liens referred to in clause (i) of the definition of “Permitted Liens”, in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Obligations, to be applied pursuant to clause (ii) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim (other than inchoate tax liens referred to in clause (i) of the definition of “Permitted Liens”) of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks as herein provided, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, but subject to clause (iii) below, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 4.10(b)(ii) or Section 2.22 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Obligations (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

-61-

(iii) Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any Issuing Bank’s Letter of Credit Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 4.10(b) or Section 2.22 and to the extent provided by the Borrower, shall be returned to the Borrower following (i) the elimination or reduction of the applicable Letter of Credit Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender or the replacement of the Defaulting Lender as a Lender pursuant to Section 2.20(b) or the expiration or return to the applicable Issuing Bank of the applicable Letter of Credit), or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 2.22, the Person providing Cash Collateral and each Issuing Bank may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Letter of Credit Exposure or other obligations and provided further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrower, such Cash Collateral held by the Administrative Agent shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

In addition, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize Standard Letters of Credit when required by and in accordance with Sections 2.6(b) and 2.22.

4.11. No Obligation. No Lender shall have any obligation hereunder to accept or approve any request for, or to issue, amend or extend, any Letter of Credit hereunder except for the obligations of the Lenders under this Article IV.

4.12. Alternative Letters of Credit. So long as no Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall have the right to Cash Collateralize any Letter of Credit Obligation with respect to any Letter of Credit in accordance with this Section 4.12. In order to designate a Letter of Credit as an Alternative Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent written notice of its election to so designate and deposit Cash Collateral in a deposit account with the Administrative Agent. So long as such Cash Collateral remains in place, such Letter of Credit shall be an “Alternative Letter of Credit” hereunder; provided that, at the Borrower’s election, upon at least five Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Cash Collateral for such Alternative Letter of Credit shall be released and, together with any interest accrued thereon, remitted back to the Borrower, at which time such Letter of Credit shall cease to be an “Alternative Letter of Credit” hereunder; provided further that after giving effect to the designation or cessation of any Alternative Letter of Credit, the amount of Letters of Credit outstanding shall not exceed the limitations set forth in Section 4.1 or 4.2. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower may cause a Letter of Credit that is fully Cash Collateralized pursuant to Section 4.10 to be designated an Alternative Letter of Credit in accordance with this Section 4.12.

4.13. Additional Provisions Regarding Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained herein, no Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank (x) shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular, (y) shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise entitled to be compensated hereunder) not in effect on the date of this Agreement, or (z) shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the date hereof and which such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it; provided that, in the cases of clauses (y) and (z), such Issuing Bank shall have (1) provided written notice to the Borrower of its refusal to issue any Letter of Credit and the specific reasons therefor and the Borrower shall not have fully compensated

-62-

such Issuing Bank for the imposition of such restriction, reserve or capital requirement or reimbursed such Issuing Bank for such loss, cost or expense, as applicable, and (2) sought compensation from similarly situated borrowers. An Issuing Bank shall not be obligated to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such Issuing Bank would have no obligation at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to the Letter of Credit.

4.14. Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of International Standby Practices 1998 published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, Inc. (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each Letter of Credit.

4.15. 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, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Issuing Bank hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

The Borrower will maintain, for itself and each Subsidiary, a system of accounting established and administered in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and furnish to the Lenders (or the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders), which may be by electronic transmission:

(i) Audited Financial Statements. Within 95 days after the close of each of its fiscal years, a consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the end of such period, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for such fiscal year, prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied and audited and reported upon by Ernst & Young LLP or other independent certified public accountants reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (such report shall not be subject to any “going concern” qualification or qualification as to the scope of the audit); provided that filing of such financial statements with the SEC by the Borrower shall constitute delivery to the Administrative Agent.

(ii) Quarterly Financial Statements. Within 50 days after the close of the first three quarterly periods of each fiscal year of the Borrower, for the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, consolidated unaudited balance sheets as at the close of each such period and a related consolidated statement of earnings and cash flows for the period from the beginning of such fiscal year to the end of such quarter, certified by the Borrower’s chief financial officer, chief accounting officer or controller as fairly presenting in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP, subject only to changes resulting from audit, normal year-end adjustments and the absence of footnotes; provided that filing of such quarterly financial statements with the SEC by the Borrower (including officer certifications required as exhibits to Form 10-Q) shall constitute delivery to the Administrative Agent.

(iii) Annual Plan and Forecast. Prior to the effective date of any Facility Increase pursuant to Section 2.18 or the extension of any Termination Date pursuant to Section 2.17, a copy of the plan and forecast (including a projected consolidated balance sheet, income statement and funds flow statement) of the Borrower for such fiscal year to each Lender that requests such information in connection with such Lender’s consideration of the Borrower’s request for any Facility Increase or the extension of any Termination Date.

(iv) Compliance Certificate. Within five (5) days after each of the dates on which financial statements are required to be delivered under Sections 7.1(i) and (ii), a compliance certificate in substantially the form of Exhibit I, signed by the chief financial officer, chief accounting officer or controller of the Borrower, showing the calculations necessary to determine compliance with this Agreement and stating that no Default or Unmatured Default exists, or if any Default or Unmatured Default exists, stating the nature and status thereof.

(vi) Reportable Event. As soon as practicable and in any event within 10 days after any Loan Party knows that any Reportable Event has occurred with respect to any Plan that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, a statement, signed by the chief financial officer, chief accounting officer or controller of the Borrower, describing said Reportable Event and the action which the Borrower proposes to take with respect thereto (provided, however, that the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent notice of any failure to meet the minimum funding standards of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA, regardless of the issuance of any waivers in accordance with Section 412(c) of the Code).

(vii) Environmental Notices. As soon as possible and in any event within 10 days after a Senior Executive of a Loan Party receives written notice of any condition, event or claim where the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary could reasonably be expected to incur or be subject to any Environmental Liability, that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(viii) Borrowing Base Certificate. No later than simultaneous with the delivery of the Compliance Certificate required to be delivered with respect to such fiscal quarter pursuant to Section 7.1(iv), a Borrowing Base Certificate as of the last day of such fiscal quarter, provided that the Borrower, at its option, may also deliver hereunder (x) a Borrowing Base Certificate as of the last day of any fiscal month that is not also the last day of a fiscal quarter and (y) a Pro Forma Borrowing Base Certificate substantially concurrently with the receipt of net cash proceeds from a Material Debt Capital Markets Issuance; provided, if the Borrower delivers a Pro Forma Borrowing Base Certificate as of the end of a fiscal month that is not the most recently ended fiscal month at the time of the relevant Material Debt Capital Markets Issuance, then the Borrower shall be required to deliver an updated Pro Forma Borrowing Base Certificate as of the end of such most recently ended fiscal month as promptly as practicable after financial statements (including the relevant financial information) for such fiscal month become internally available but in any event no later than 20 Business Days after the end of such fiscal month, the components of which shall be updated as of the end of such most recently ended fiscal month, other than Unrestricted Cash, which shall be adjusted to reflect the net cash proceeds of such Material Debt Capital Markets Issuance and the use of proceeds thereof.

(ix) Notice of Litigation. Promptly after the commencement thereof, notice of all actions, suits, proceedings or investigations before or by any Official Body or any other Person against any Loan Party which would be required to be reported by the Borrower on Forms 10-Q, 10-K or 8-K filed with the SEC.

Together with the delivery of financial statements pursuant to Section 7.1(i) and (ii), financial information relating to Unrestricted Subsidiaries to reconcile the calculations showing compliance with Section 7.27 with the financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 7.1(i) and (ii), in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

The Borrower and each other Loan Party will use the proceeds of the Advances for lawful, general business purposes, including working capital support, home construction, lot acquisition, lot development, land acquisition and acquisitions. The Borrower will not request any Loan or Letter of Credit, and the Borrower shall not use, and shall procure that its Subsidiaries shall not use, the proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit in any manner which would result in any violation of Anti-Corruption Laws or applicable Sanctions. No Loan Party is engaged or will engage, principally, in the business of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U), or extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock. No part of the proceeds of any Advance will be used for any purpose that violates the provisions of Regulation U.

7.5. Taxes. Except for violations or failures that individually and in the aggregate would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, Borrower and its Subsidiaries will file in a timely manner complete and correct United States federal and any and all other applicable Tax returns required by law, and pay when due all Taxes upon it or its income, profits or Property, except those which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which adequate reserves have been set aside in accordance with GAAP.

7.6. Insurance. Each Loan Party will maintain with financially sound and reputable insurance companies insurance on all Inventory in such amounts and covering such risks as is customary for companies engaging in the same or similar businesses and owning similar properties in the localities where the Loan Parties operate, or to the customary extent Borrower may be self-insured.

7.7. Compliance with Laws. Each Loan Party will comply with all Applicable Laws (excluding Environmental Laws, compliance with which is governed by Section 7.24 and Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions, compliance with which is governed by the following sentence of this Section 7.7) to which it may be subject, to the extent that noncompliance would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries will comply in all material respects with Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions.

7.8. Maintenance of Properties. Each Loan Party will maintain, preserve, protect and keep its Property in good repair, working order and condition (ordinary wear and tear and casualty excepted) in accordance with the general practice of other businesses of similar character and size, and make all necessary and proper repairs, renewals and replacements so that its business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times, except to the extent that the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

7.9. Lines of Business. The Borrower will not, and will not permit any Guarantor to, engage in any material lines of business, either directly or through any Subsidiary, other than any line of business in which the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary is engaged on the date of this Agreement or that is reasonably related, incidental, complimentary or ancillary thereto or a reasonable extension thereof.

7.10. Mergers; Consolidations; Dissolutions.

(a) The Borrower shall not consolidate or merge with or into, or sell, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets (including by way of liquidation or dissolution), to any Person (in each case other than in a transaction in which the Borrower is the survivor of a consolidation or merger) unless:

(i) the Person formed by or surviving such consolidation or merger (if other than the Borrower), or to which such sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition will be made (collectively, the “Successor Borrower”), is a corporation or other legal entity organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and the Successor Borrower assumes all of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, and

(ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing.

Upon any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the Successor Borrower will be substituted for the Borrower under this Agreement. The Successor Borrower may then exercise every power and right of the Borrower under this Agreement, and except in the case of a lease, the Borrower will be released from all of its liabilities and obligations in respect of this Agreement. If the Borrower leases all or substantially all of its assets, the Borrower will not be released from its Obligations. If the Borrower is not the Successor Borrower, such Successor Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (A) an assumption of the Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents, (B) all documentation and other information required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation, the PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, that has been requested in writing by the Administrative Agent and (C) such certified resolutions, opinions of counsel and other supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, all of which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(b) No Guarantor will consolidate or merge with or into, or sell, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of (including by division) all or substantially all of its assets (including by way of liquidation or dissolution), to any Person (in each case other than in a transaction in which the Borrower or a Guarantor is the survivor of a consolidation or merger, or the transferee in a sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition) unless:

(i) the Person formed by or surviving such consolidation or merger (if other than the Borrower or a Guarantor, as the case may be), or to which such sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition will be made (collectively, the “Successor Guarantor”), is a corporation or other legal entity organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and the Successor Guarantor assumes all of the obligations of the Guarantor under this Agreement and the Guaranty Agreement, and

(ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Unmatured Default has occurred and is continuing;

provided, that the above requirements of this clause (b) shall not apply to the consolidation or merger of a Guarantor, or the sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of a Guarantor, in each case pursuant to a sale or other disposition to a Person other than the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary that is in compliance with Section 7.12.

Upon any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the Successor Guarantor will be substituted for the relevant Guarantor under this Agreement and the Guaranty Agreement. The Successor Guarantor may then exercise every power and right of the relevant Guarantor under this Agreement, and except in the case of a lease, the relevant Guarantor will be released from all of its liabilities and obligations in respect of this Agreement and the Guaranty Agreement. If a Guarantor leases all or substantially all of its assets, such Guarantor will not be released from its Obligations. If a Guarantor is not the Successor Guarantor, such Successor Guarantor shall promptly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (A) an assumption of the Guarantor’s obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is party and (B) such certified resolutions, opinions of counsel and other supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, all of which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(b) In addition, the Borrower may designate as a Non-Loan Party any Guarantor that is an Immaterial Subsidiary or that is not, or is concurrently ceasing to be, a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, in which case such Guarantor shall be released and discharged from the Guaranty Agreement and all other obligations under any of the Loan Documents; provided that (i) the Borrower shall be in compliance with the covenants under Section 7.14 (with such designation being deemed to constitute an Investment by the Borrower in such Subsidiary at the date of designation in an amount equal to the fair market value of the Borrower’s Investment therein as determined in good faith by the Borrower) and Section 7.27 after giving effect to such designation; (ii) such Subsidiary is not an obligor in respect of any Material Indebtedness of any other Loan Party (unless such Subsidiary is being released as an obligor thereunder substantially simultaneously with its release as a Guarantor hereunder); (iii) no Unmatured Default under Section 8.2, 8.5 or 8.6 and no Default shall exist after giving effect to such designation; and (iv) the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate, signed by the chief financial officer, controller or chief accounting officer of the Borrower, stating its election to make such designation and certifying that the requirements of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are satisfied.

(c) The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by the Lenders to execute such documents reasonably satisfactory to it to evidence or effect the release of any Guarantor pursuant to the above provisions of this Section 7.17 as the Borrower shall request, and the Administrative Agent agrees to execute any such documentation as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower upon receipt of such certificates and/or other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request to evidence compliance with the applicable provisions of the Loan Documents.

7.18. Inspection and Appraisal. At all reasonable times, upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent and subject to Section 10.11, the Borrower shall, and shall cause each other Loan Party to, upon reasonable notice, allow Administrative Agent and Lenders and their authorized agents to inspect any of their properties, to review and make excerpts of reports, files, and other records maintained in the ordinary course of business, and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Loan Parties with their respective officers from time to time, during reasonable business hours. Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower shall permit the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their authorized agents to enter upon the Inventory during normal working hours and as often as they desire, for the purpose of inspecting or appraising the Inventory.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10.6 below, (i) as long as no Default exists, the Borrower shall not be required to reimburse the Administrative Agent for the expenses of any such inspections and appraisal and (ii) the Borrower shall not be required to reimburse any Lender that is not the Administrative Agent for the expenses of any such inspections or appraisals.

(b) The designation by the Borrower of any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary as provided above shall constitute an Investment by the Borrower therein at the date of designation in an amount equal to the fair market value of the Borrower’s Investment therein as determined in good faith by the Borrower and the Investment resulting from such designation must otherwise be in compliance with Section 7.14 (as determined at the time of such designation). The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary shall constitute the incurrence at the time of designation of any Indebtedness or Liens of such Subsidiary existing at such time, and the Borrower shall deliver the materials specified in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of Section 7.16 concurrently with the effectiveness of such designation.

-79-

ARTICLE IX

ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES

9.1. Remedies.

9.1.1. Acceleration. If any Default described in Section 8.5 or 8.6 occurs and is continuing with respect to the Borrower, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligations of the Issuing Banks to issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit hereunder shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender. If any other Default occurs and is continuing, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the written consent of the Required Lenders) may terminate or suspend the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligation of any Issuing Bank to issue, amend or extend any Letter of Credit hereunder, or declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower hereby expressly waives.

9.1.2. Application of Payments. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default, and notice thereof to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or the Required Lenders, all payments received on account of the Obligations shall, subject to Section 2.22, be applied by the Administrative Agent as follows:

(i) first, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts payable to the Administrative Agent (including fees and disbursements and other charges of counsel to the Administrative Agent payable under Section 10.6 and amounts pursuant to Section 11.12 payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such);

(ii) second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, expenses, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, reimbursement obligations in respect of drawings under Letters of Credit, interest and Letter of Credit fees) payable to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks (including fees and disbursements and other charges of counsel to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks payable under Section 10.6) arising under the Loan Documents, ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (ii) payable to them;

(iii) third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid Letter of Credit fees and charges and interest on the Loans and unreimbursed drawings under Letters of Credit, ratably among the Lenders and the Issuing Banks in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (iii) payable to them;

(iv) fourth, (A) to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and unreimbursed drawings under Letters of Credit and (B) to Cash Collateralize that portion of Letter of Credit Exposure comprising the undrawn amount of Letters of Credit to the extent not otherwise cash collateralized by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.22 or Section 4.10, ratably among the Lenders and the Issuing Banks in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (iv) payable to them; provided that (x) any such amounts applied pursuant to clause (B) above shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the applicable Issuing Banks to Cash Collateralize Obligations in respect of Letters of Credit and (y) subject to Section 2.22 or Section 4.10, amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to this clause (iv) shall be used to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur;

-84-

(v) fifth, to the payment in full of all other Obligations, in each case ratably among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Obligations owing to them in accordance with the respective amounts thereof then due and payable; and

(vi) finally, the balance, if any, after all Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by law.

If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired (without any pending drawings), such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.

9.2. Amendments.

(a) Subject to Section 3.5, the definition of “Interest Period” and the provisions of this Article IX, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower may enter into agreements for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrower hereunder or waiving any Default hereunder; provided, however, that no such agreement or any waiver shall, without the consent of all of the Lenders adversely affected thereby (or all of the Lenders, in the case of clauses (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi)):

(i) extend the final maturity of any Loan (except as provided in Section 2.17) or forgive all or any portion of the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate (whether by modification of the Pricing Schedule or otherwise) or extend the time for payment of or forgive interest or fees; or

(ii) extend the Termination Date applicable to any Commitments (except as provided in Section 2.17) or increase the amount of the Commitment of any Lender (except as agreed to by such Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.18); or

(iii) permit the Borrower to assign its rights under this Agreement; or

(iv) change, directly or indirectly, the percentage specified in the definition of “Required Lenders,” or change any provision that calls for consent, approval or other action by the Required Lenders, all Lenders or any particular affected Lender; or

(v) amend Section 2.4(b) (as it relates to the ratable allocation among the Lenders of any reduction of the Aggregate Commitment), Section 2.10(b), Section 9.1.2, this Section 9.2 or Section 12.2; or

(vi) release all or substantially all of the Guarantors (as measured by value, not number), except as expressly permitted by this Agreement or the Guaranty Agreement.

(b) No amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Administrative Agent shall be effective without its written consent, and no amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to any outstanding Letter of Credit issued by any Issuing Bank shall be effective without its written consent. The Administrative Agent may waive payment of the fee required under Section 13.2(b)(vii) without obtaining the consent of any other party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to amendments under Section 9.2(a)(i) or (ii) requiring the approval of all of the Lenders, if all Lenders other than one or more Defaulting Lenders approve such amendment, the failure of such Defaulting Lenders to approve such amendment shall not prevent such amendment from becoming effective with respect to such Lenders approving such amendment (it being understood that such amendment will not be effective with respect to such Defaulting Lenders that do not approve such amendment).

-85-

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (i) to add one or more additional term or revolving credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Loans and Commitments and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (ii) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Fee Letter may be amended or waived pursuant to a written instrument signed by JPMorgan and the Borrower, and the consent of no other Person shall be required.

9.3. Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Loan or the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit notwithstanding the existence of a Default or the inability of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Loan or the issuance, amendment or extension of such Letter of Credit shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 9.2, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full.

The Borrower agrees that none of the Administrative Agent, the Arranger nor any Lender shall have liability to the Borrower or any other Loan Party (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses suffered by the Borrower, the Borrower or any other Loan Party in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, the transactions contemplated and the relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless it is determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such losses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party from which recovery is sought. None of the Administrative Agent, the Arranger nor any Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and the Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue for, any special, indirect or consequential damages suffered by the Borrower or any other Loan Party in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

(b) Construction and/or Development.

In addition, Lenders shall not be liable to Borrower or any third party for the failure of Lenders or their authorized agents to discover or to reject materials or workmanship during the course of Lenders’ inspections of the Inventory.

(c) The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that no Lender Party is advising the Borrower as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting, regulatory or any other matters in any jurisdiction. The Borrower shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated herein or in the other Loan Documents, and the Lender Parties shall have no responsibility or liability to the Borrower with respect thereto.

(d) The Borrower further acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Lender Party, together with its Affiliates, is a full service securities or banking firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment banking and other financial services. In the ordinary course of business, any Lender Party may provide investment banking and other financial services to, and/or acquire, hold or sell, for its own accounts and the accounts of customers, equity, debt and other securities and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of, the Borrower and other companies with which the Borrower may have commercial or other relationships. With respect to any securities and/or financial instruments so held by any Lender Party or any of its customers, all rights in respect of such securities and financial instruments, including any voting rights, will be exercised by the holder of the rights, in its sole discretion.

-89-

(e) The Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Lender Party and its affiliates may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other companies in respect of which the Borrower may have conflicting interests regarding the transactions described herein and otherwise. No Lender Party will use confidential information obtained from the Borrower by virtue of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or its other relationships with the Borrower in connection with the performance by such Lender Party of services for other companies, and no Lender Party will furnish any such information to other companies. The Borrower also acknowledges that no Lender Party has any obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, or to furnish to the Borrower, confidential information obtained from other companies.

(f) Other Lenders. The obligations of each Lender under this Agreement are separate and independent such that no action, inaction, or responsibility of one Lender shall be imputed to the remaining Lenders. Borrower hereby waives any claim or demand against each Lender as to the action, inaction, or responsibility of another.

Each of the Administrative 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 purporting to have jurisdiction over it (in which case such Person shall promptly notify the Borrower, in advance, to the extent lawfully permitted to do so); (c) to the extent required by Applicable Law or by any subpoena or similar legal process (in which case such Person shall promptly notify the Borrower, in advance, to the extent lawfully permitted to do so); (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.11 (or as may otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower), to (i) any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee or pledgee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder; (f) with the written consent of the Borrower; (g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.11; (h) to any state, Federal or foreign authority or examiner (including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization) (in which case such Person shall, except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any governmental bank regulatory authority exercising examination or regulatory authority, promptly notify the Borrower, in advance, to the extent lawfully permitted to do so); (i) to any rating agency or the CUSIP Bureau when required by it (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Lender); or (j) to the extent reasonably necessary in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder to the extent reasonably necessary in connection with such enforcement. In addition, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments and the Advances. For the purposes of this Section 10.11, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or its or their business, other than any such information that is publicly available to any Administrative Agent or any Lender prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.11, unless, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as not 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.

10.12. Nonreliance. Each Lender hereby represents that it is not relying on or looking to any margin stock (as defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) for the repayment of the Loans provided for herein.

10.13. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the PATRIOT Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.

10.14. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

10.15. Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for any agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC, a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of

-91-

such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.

As used in this Section 10.15, the following terms have the following meanings:

“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

i. a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);

ii. a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or

iii. a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).”

ARTICLE XI

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

11.1. Appointment and Authority.

(a) Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably appoints JPMorgan to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party 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

-92-

the Administrative 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. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, each of the Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party, to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Administrative Agent may have under such Loan Documents.

(b) Each Issuing Bank shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each Issuing Bank shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article XI with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by each Issuing Bank in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in this Article XI and in the definition of “Related Parties” included each Issuing Bank with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to each Issuing Bank.

11.2. Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative 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, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

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

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

(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 the Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or Applicable Laws, 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; provided, further, that the Administrative Agent may seek clarification or direction from the Required Lenders prior to the exercise of any such instructed action and may refrain from acting until such clarification or direction has been provided; 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 the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

-93-

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 9.1 and 9.2) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Administrative Agent’s reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page) or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

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

11.5. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent. The Administrative 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 Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative 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 non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

-94-

11.6. Resignation of Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (provided no consent of the Borrower shall be required if a Default or Unmatured Default under Section 8.2, 8.5 or 8.6 exists), 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 Administrative 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 Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, with the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor (provided no consent of the Borrower shall be required if a Default or Unmatured Default under Section 8.2, 8.5 or 8.6 exists). 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.

(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative 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 the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and Issuing Bank directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.6 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative 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 Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

-95-

11.7. Acknowledgements of Lenders and Issuing Banks.

(a) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank represents and warrants that (i) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility, (ii) it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and in providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender or Issuing Bank, in each case in the ordinary course of business, and not for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument (and each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing), (iii) it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, or any other Lender or Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Commitments and Loans hereunder and (iv) it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any other Lender or Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates) 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.

(b) Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement on the Closing Date, or delivering its signature page to Amendment No. 2 or an Assignment and Assumption or any other Loan Document pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Closing Date.

(c) Certain Payments.

(i) Each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender or Issuing Bank that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender or Issuing Bank from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Lender or Issuing Bank (whether or not known to such Lender or Issuing Bank), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender or Issuing Bank shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender or Issuing Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or Issuing Bank under this Section 11.7(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

-96-

(ii) Each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender or Issuing Bank to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(iii) The Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) are not recovered from any Lender or Issuing Bank that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender or Issuing Bank with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party.

(iv) Each party’s obligations under this Section 11.7(c) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.

11.8. No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Arranger shall not have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank hereunder. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Administrative Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Nothing in this Agreement or any Loan Document shall require the Administrative Agent to account to any Lender for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by the Administrative Agent for its own account.

11.9. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Letter of Credit Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, Letter of Credit Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.4, 4.7 and 10.6) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

-97-

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and Issuing Bank to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.4 and 10.6.

11.10. Withholding Tax. To the extent required by any Applicable Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 3.7, each Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, all Taxes and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the IRS or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from any amount paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective), whether or not such Tax was correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 11.10. The agreements in this Section 11.10 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, a “Lender” shall, for purposes of this Section 11.10, include any Issuing Bank.

11.11. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have actual knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Unmatured Default hereunder (other than a Default under Section 8.2) unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement describing such Default or Unmatured Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default” or that such notice is delivered pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.

11.12. Administrative Agent’s Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, the fees agreed to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Fee Letter or as otherwise agreed by them from time to time.

11.13. Delegation to Affiliates. The Borrower and the Lenders agree that the Administrative Agent may delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates. Any such Affiliate (and such Affiliate’s directors, officers, agents and employees) which performs duties in connection with this Agreement shall be entitled to the same benefits of the indemnification, waiver and other protective provisions to which the Administrative Agent is entitled under Articles X and XI.

-98-

11.14. Arranger’s Responsibilities and Duties. The Arranger shall not have any responsibilities hereunder in any capacity or be deemed to have any agency or fiduciary relationship with the Borrower or any Lender.

11.15. ERISA.

(a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and each other Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

ARTICLE XII

SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS

12.1. Setoff. If a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each Issuing Bank, and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or such Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, Issuing Bank or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a Lending Installation or Affiliate of such Lender or such Issuing Bank different from the Lending Installation or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.22 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender, each Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

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

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

(ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in outstanding Letters of Credit to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).

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

ARTICLE XIII

BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT; ASSIGNMENTS; PARTICIPATIONS

13.1. Participations.

13.1.1. Permitted Participants; Effect. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 10.6(b) with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).

13.1.2. Voting Rights; Participant Register. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the proviso to Section 9.2 that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.7 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.7(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.7(g) shall be delivered solely to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.2(b); provided that such Participant (A) shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.20 as if it were an assignee under Section 13.2(b); and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.1, 3.2 or 3.7, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent the participation was sold with the Borrower’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.20(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.1 as though it were a Lender; provided that (A) such participation was sold with the Borrower’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (B) such Participant shall be subject to Section 12.2 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and interest amounts) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary in connection with a Tax audit or other proceeding to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

-102-

13.2. Assignments.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.1, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or its foreign equivalent; provided that no such pledge or assignment under this clause (iii) shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 13.1 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

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

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment (which for this purpose includes, without duplication, the Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned.

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

(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) a Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof; and

-103-

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Bank (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless such assignment is to a Person that is a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).

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

(vii) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the 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 the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each other 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 in accordance with its Ratable Share. 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.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Article III and Section 10.6 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under

-104-

this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 13.1. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation or liability with respect to any assignment to a Person that is not permitted to be an assignee hereunder.

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and interest amounts) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender (solely to the extent related to such Lender) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Resignation as Issuing Bank after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time any Issuing Bank assigns all of its Commitments and Loans pursuant to Section 13.2, such Person shall be deemed to also resign as Issuing Bank upon the effectiveness of such assignment. Upon such resignation, the resigning Issuing shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an Issuing Bank hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as Issuing Bank and all Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make ABR Loans or fund participations in unreimbursed amounts pursuant to Section 4.6(b)). A Person becoming a Lender pursuant to an assignment or a Facility Increase shall become an Issuing Bank (or shall cause one of its Affiliates to become an Issuing Bank) in accordance with the definition of “Issuing Bank” by virtue of becoming a Lender.

13.3. Dissemination of Information. The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or assignee or any other Person acquiring an interest in the Loan Documents by operation of law (each a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all information in such Lender’s possession concerning the creditworthiness of the Borrower, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries; provided that each Transferee and prospective Transferee agrees in writing to be bound by Section 10.11 of this Agreement.

(b) Each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may make such materials, as well as any other written information, documents, instruments and other material relating to the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any other materials or matters relating to this Agreement, the Notes or any of the transactions contemplated hereby (other than any Borrowing Notice, Letter of Credit Notice, Rate Option Notice, request for conversion or continuation of any Advances or notices constituting service of process or relating to legal process) (collectively, the “Communications”) available to the Lenders by posting such notices on Debtdomain, IntraLinks, SyndTrak or a substantially similar electronic system (the “Platform”).

No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by any Agent Party in connection with the Communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or representatives (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including, without limitation, direct or indirect, special, indirect or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Communications through the internet, except to the extent the liability of any Agent Party is found in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Agent Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(c) The Administrative Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Administrative Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Administrative Agent for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) (a “Notice”) specifying that any Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such information, documents or other materials to such Lender for purposes of this Agreement; provided that, if requested by any Lender, the Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy of the Communications to such Lender by e-mail or facsimile. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such Lender’s e-mail address(es) to which a Notice may be sent by electronic transmission (including by electronic communication) on or before the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record an effective e-mail address for such Lender) and (ii) that any Notice may be sent to such e-mail address(es) as such Lender shall instruct. The Administrative Agent agrees that it will, upon any Lender’s reasonable request, furnish materials posted on the Platform to such Lender in hard copy to such Lender’s address set forth on the signature pages hereof.
