Any amounts received by the Swingline Lenders from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lenders of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lenders, as their interests may appear. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

(d) The Borrower will refinance each Swingline Borrowing with a Revolving Borrowing, or otherwise repay such Swingline Borrowing, together with any interest accrued thereon, within five Business Days after such Swingline Borrowing is made.

SECTION 2.06. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, Chicago time (or, in the case of an ABR Borrowing Request made after 9:00 a.m., Chicago time, on the date of a proposed Borrowing, three hours after receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Borrowing Request), to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders; provided that Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.05. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent or such other Lender designated by the Borrower as shall be reasonably approved by the Administrative Agent.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent agrees to notify the Borrower of such Lender’s failure to do so and the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on

demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.07. Interest Elections. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.

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

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

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

(ii) the aggregate principal amount of the requested Borrowing;

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

(iv) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

(v) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which Interest Period shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period.”

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

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

(e) If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Revolving Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.08. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Termination Date.

(b) The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000 and (ii) any outstanding Loans that would exceed the reduced Commitments must be prepaid together with any payments required under Section 2.18.

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least one Business Day prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.

SECTION 2.09. Repayment of Borrowings; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Termination Date and (ii) to each Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Termination Date and the fifth Business Day after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each day that a Revolving Borrowing is made, the Borrower shall repay such Swingline Loan with the proceeds thereof. Amounts owing by the Borrower in connection with Facility LCs, including, without limitation, Reimbursement Obligations, shall be paid in accordance with Section 2.22.

(b) 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, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable 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, (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof, and (iv) the original stated amount of each Facility LC and the then current amount of LC Obligations.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall, absent manifest error, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in the form of Exhibit D hereto or any other form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 8.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein.

SECTION 2.10. Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section and to Section 2.18.

(b) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Chicago time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Revolving Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Chicago time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment or (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 11:00 a.m., Chicago time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by (i) accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.12 and (ii) if demanded and required pursuant to Section 2.18, break funding payments. If at any time the sum of the aggregate principal amount of all of the Revolving Credit Exposures exceeds the aggregate Commitments, the Borrower shall immediately repay Borrowings or cash collateralize LC Obligations in an account with the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.22(m), as applicable, in an aggregate principal amount sufficient to cause the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving Credit Exposures to be less than or equal to the aggregate Commitments.

SECTION 2.11. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee (a “Facility Fee”), which shall accrue at the Facility Fee Rate on the daily amount of the Commitment of such Lender (whether used or unused) during the period from and including the Availability Date to but excluding the date on which such Commitment terminates; provided that, if such Lender continues to have any Revolving Credit Exposure after its Commitment terminates, then such Facility Fee shall continue to accrue on the daily amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure from and including the date on which its Commitment terminates to but excluding the date on which such Lender ceases to have any Revolving Credit Exposure. Accrued Facility Fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year, on each date on which the Commitments terminate or are reduced (in such case payable only with respect to the portion so reduced) and on the Termination Date, commencing on the first such date to

occur after the date hereof; provided that any Facility Fees accruing after the Termination Date shall be payable on demand. All Facility Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in the fee letter dated April 20, 2012 (the “Administrative Agent Fee Letter”).

(c) The Borrower agrees to pay to each Arranger, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Arrangers in the fee letters dated April 20, 2012 (the “Arranger Fee Letters”).

(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, in the case of Facility Fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.12. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Revolving Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Revolving Loan Margin.

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Revolving Loan Margin.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan, any Reimbursement Obligation, or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section, (ii) in the case of LC Fees, such LC Fees shall be increased by 2% per annum during the period any such fees are not paid when due or (iii) in the case of any other amount, the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section; provided, however, that interest shall only accrue under this paragraph (d) on the amount of any overdue interest payment if such interest payment default continues beyond the five Business Day cure period set forth in Section 6.01(a); provided, further, if such interest payment default is not cured by the end of the applicable five Business Day cure period, then interest shall accrue on such overdue interest payment under this paragraph (d) beginning on the date on which such payment was initially due and not made and ending on the date on which such payment is received by the Administrative Agent.

(e) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans, upon the termination of the Commitments and the repayment of such Loans; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Revolving Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on the principal balance of the Loan so converted shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(f) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate shall at all times be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.13. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.14, 2.18 or 2.20, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, Chicago time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest and all fees thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 901 Main Street, Dallas, Texas ###-###-####, except that payments pursuant to Section 2.14, 2.18, 2.20 and 8.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and except that payments of Swingline Loans shall be made directly to the Swingline Lenders as expressly provided herein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder of principal or interest in respect of any Loan, and all other payments hereunder and under each other loan document delivered in connection herewith, shall be made in dollars. Any payment required to be made by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been made by the time required if the Administrative Agent shall, at or before such time, have taken the necessary steps to make such payments in accordance with the regulations or operating procedures of the clearing or settlement system used by the Administrative Agent to make such payment.

(b) If any Lender, including, without limitation, any LC Issuer, shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of, interest on or other amounts owing in connection with any of its Revolving Loans, participations in Swingline Loans or participations in Facility LCs resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans, participations in Swingline Loans, participations in Facility LCs and any accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and Facility LCs of other Lenders to the extent necessary 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 Revolving Loans, participations in Swingline Loans and participations in Facility LCs; 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 any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans and Facility LCs to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate 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 set-off 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.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(d) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.14. Increased Costs.

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

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

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

(iii) impose on any Lender or any LC Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Facility LC or participation therein;

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

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or any LC Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or such LC Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such LC Issuer’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 such LC Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such LC Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Facility LCs or Swingline Loans

held by, such Lender, or the Facility LCs issued by such LC Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or such LC Issuer or such Lender’s or such LC Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such LC Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such LC Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such LC Issuer or such Lender’s or such LC Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or an LC Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such LC Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any LC Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.14 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such LC Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an LC Issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or such LC Issuer, 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 such LC Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

SECTION 2.15. Basis for Determining Interest Rate for Eurodollar Loans If Inadequate or Unfair. If at any time with respect to the Loans:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be binding and conclusive on all parties) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank market arising after the date of this Agreement adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate, or

(b) Lenders whose aggregate Applicable Percentages total 30% or more give notice to the Administrative Agent that the LIBO Rate as determined by the Administrative Agent will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of maintaining or funding the Loans at any time,

then, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telecopy or telephone (confirmed by telecopy) as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the applicable Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of, any Borrowing as a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and any Eurodollar Borrowing that is requested to be continued shall be converted into an ABR Borrowing on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, and (ii) any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be deemed a request for an ABR Borrowing. If circumstances subsequently change so that the conditions specified in paragraph (a) or (b) above no longer exist, the Administrative Agent (in the case of paragraph (a)) or the specified Lenders (in the case of paragraph (b)) shall notify the Borrower of the reinstated interest rate of the LIBO Rate plus the Revolving Loan Margin.

SECTION 2.16. Illegality. In the event that any Change in Law makes it unlawful for any Lender to make, maintain or fund Loans, then (a) such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each of the other parties hereto, (b) the obligation of Lenders to make the Loans made unlawful for such Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such event, be suspended for the duration of such unlawfulness and (c) with respect to Eurodollar Loans, if such Lender so requests, the Borrower shall on the last day of the respective Interest Periods then in effect with respect thereto or, if earlier, on the latest date as may be required by the relevant law, regulation or interpretation, repay all then outstanding Eurodollar Loans of each Lender made unlawful for such Lender or convert such Eurodollar Loans to ABR Loans. If circumstances subsequently change so that such affected Lender shall determine that it is no longer so affected, such Lender will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and upon receipt of such notice, the obligations of all Lenders to make or continue Loans shall be reinstated.

SECTION 2.17. Substitution of Lenders. If (i) the obligation of any Lender to make Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section 2.16, (ii) any Lender (including, without limitation, throughout this Section 2.17, any LC Issuer) has demanded compensation under Section 2.14 or (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower, provided no Event of Default exists under paragraph (a) or (c) of Section 6.01, shall have the right to substitute a bank or banks (which may be one or more of the Lenders) reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to purchase such Lender’s Loans and participations in Facility LCs, subject to the indemnity provisions of Section 2.18, and to assume the Commitment of such Lender. Upon such purchase and assumption of such substituted bank or banks, the obligations of such Lender hereunder shall be discharged and such Lender shall cease to be obligated to make further Loans and such Lender’s Commitment shall be reduced to zero.

SECTION 2.18. Funding Indemnification. If: (a) any payment of a Loan occurs on a date which is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, whether because of acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, including, without limitation, pursuant to any reduction of the Commitments; or (b) any prepayment of any Loan required to be made pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.16, is not made on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason; or (c) any Loan is not made or converted on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason, other than default by one or more of the Lenders; the Borrower will indemnify each Lender, upon demand (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for the calculations of the amount being claimed) for all losses incurred by each such Lender resulting therefrom, including, without limitation, any costs in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain such Loan. For this purpose, all notices to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement with respect to borrowings, repayments and commitment reductions shall be deemed to be irrevocable.

SECTION 2.19. [Intentionally Omitted].

SECTION 2.20. Taxes.

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

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

(c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.20) paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or an LC Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or an LC Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Indemnification by the Lenders and the LC Issuers. Each Lender and each LC Issuer shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender or such LC Issuer (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 8.04(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender or such LC Issuer, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender and each LC Issuer hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, under this Agreement or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (d).

(e) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.20, 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.

(f) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.20(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient) 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), duly executed originals of IRS Form W-9 or successor form certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

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

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

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

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

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

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

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement 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 and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

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

(g) Any Lender or the Administrative Agent requesting compensation under this Section 2.20 shall use its reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of any Change in Law, policy, rule, guideline or directive giving rise to such demand for compensation not more than 60 days following the date upon which the responsible account officer for such Lender knows or should have known of such change. Such written demand shall be rebuttably presumed correct for all purposes. If any Lender or the Administrative Agent demands compensation under this Section 2.20 more than 60 days following the date upon which a responsible account officer for such Lender or the Administrative Agent knows or should have known that Taxes or Other Taxes have begun to accrue with respect to which such Lender or the Administrative Agent is entitled to compensation under this Section 2.20, then any Taxes or Other Taxes attributable to the period prior to the 60 day period prior to the date on which such Lender or the Administrative Agent provided such notice and demand for compensation shall be excluded from the indemnity obligations of the Borrower under this Section 2.20.

(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.20 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.20), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the

amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.20 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or an LC Issuer, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the Obligations.

SECTION 2.21. [Intentionally Omitted].

SECTION 2.22. Facility LCs.

(a) Issuance. (i) Each LC Issuer hereby agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to issue standby and commercial letters of credit denominated solely in dollars (each, including the Existing Facility LCs, a “Facility LC”), to renew, extend, increase, decrease or otherwise modify each Facility LC (“Modify,” and each such action, a “Modification”) and to honor drawings under Facility LCs, from time to time during the Availability Period upon the request of the Borrower, provided that immediately after each such Facility LC is issued or Modified or drawn upon, (x) the aggregate amount of the outstanding LC Obligations shall not exceed $100,000,000, (y) the Revolving Credit Exposure of any Lender shall not exceed the Commitment of such Lender and (z) the aggregate of the Revolving Credit Exposures of all the Lenders shall not exceed the aggregate of the Commitments. Each request by the Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Facility LC shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the Facility LC or Modification or drawing so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Other than as permitted under Section 2.22(a)(ii) or 2.22(m), no Facility LC shall have an expiry date later than the date that is (x) twelve (12) months after the date issuance or last extension of such Facility LC (unless the Required Lenders have approved such an expiry date) and (y) the fifth Business Day prior to the Termination Date; provided, that any Facility LC may (1) provide for renewal thereof for additional periods of up to twelve (12) months (which in no event shall extend beyond the date referred to in the preceding sentence) and (2) have a later expiry date (but in no event later than the date that is one year after the Termination Date) if cash collateralized on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the relevant LC Issuer and in an amount equal to 105% of the face amount thereof no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the Termination Date. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Facility LCs shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Facility LCs to replace Facility LCs that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed. The letters of credit identified on Schedule 2.22 (the “Existing Facility LCs”) shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant hereto as of the Availability Date, and from and after the Availability Date shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions hereof.

(ii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Facility LC Application, each LC Issuer may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Facility LC that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Facility LC”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Facility LC must permit such LC Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Facility LC) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day

(the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Facility LC is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable LC Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such LC Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Facility LC has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable LC Issuer to permit the extension of such Facility LC at any time to an expiry date not later than the date specified in Section 2.22(a)(i); provided, however, that such LC Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) such LC Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Facility in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.22(a)(i) or (ii) (or otherwise) or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.03 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing such LC Issuer not to permit such extension.

(iii) No LC Issuer shall be required to issue any Facility LC if (x) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such LC Issuer from issuing such Facility LC, or any Law applicable to such LC Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such LC Issuer shall prohibit the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Facility LC in particular or shall impose upon such LC Issuer with respect to such Facility LC any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such LC Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon such LC Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which such LC Issuer in good faith deems material to it and (y) any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless such LC Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of cash collateral, satisfactory to such LC Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate such LC Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.25(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Facility LC then proposed to be issued or that Facility LC and all other LC Obligations as to which such LC Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion. No LC Issuer shall be under any obligation to Modify any Facility LC if (x) such LC Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Facility LC in its amended form under the terms hereof or (y) the beneficiary of such Facility LC does not accept the proposed Modification to such Facility LC. No LC Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Facility LC issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each LC Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (x) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article VII with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such LC Issuer in connection with Facility LCs issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Facility LC Applications pertaining to such Facility LCs as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article VII included such LC Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions and (y) as additionally provided herein with respect to the LC Issuers.

(b) Participations. Upon the issuance or Modification by an LC Issuer of a Facility LC in accordance with this Section 2.22, such LC Issuer shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably sold to each Lender, and each Lender severally agrees, and shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from such LC Issuer, a risk participation in such Facility LC (and each Modification thereof) and the related LC Obligations in proportion to its Applicable Percentage.

(c) Notice. Subject to Section 2.22(a), the Borrower shall give the applicable LC Issuer and the Administrative Agent notice in the form of a Facility LC Application prior to 10:00 a.m. (Chicago time) at least three Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance or Modification of the applicable

Facility LC, or in each case such shorter period as may be agreed to by the applicable LC Issuer and the Administrative Agent, in any particular instance specifying the name and address of the beneficiary, the proposed date of issuance (or Modification) (which shall be a Business Day), the expiry date of such Facility LC, the amount of such Facility LC, the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder, the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder, the purpose and nature of the requested Facility LC, the nature of the proposed Modification (in the case of a Modification) and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare such Facility LC or as the applicable LC Issuer may require. Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the applicable LC Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Facility LC Application from the Borrower and, if not, such LC Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender, of the contents thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s participation in such proposed Facility LC. The issuance or Modification by the applicable LC Issuer of a Facility LC shall, in addition to the conditions precedent set forth in Article IV (the satisfaction of which the applicable LC Issuer shall have no duty to ascertain), be subject to the conditions precedent that such Facility LC shall be reasonably satisfactory to the applicable LC Issuer and that a Responsible Officer shall have executed and delivered such applicable agreement and/or such other instruments and agreements relating to such Facility LC as the applicable LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably requested (each, a “Facility LC Application”). Unless the applicable LC Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or Modification of the applicable Facility LC, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such LC Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Facility LC for the account of the Borrower or enter into the applicable Modification, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with such LC Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Facility LC Application, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

(d) LC Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages, with respect to each Facility LC, a letter of credit participation fee (the “LC Participation Fee”), which shall accrue at the LC Participation Fee Rate on the daily stated amounts of all outstanding Facility LCs. Accrued LC Participation Fees shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. The Borrower shall also pay to the applicable LC Issuer for its own account (x) at the time of issuance of a Facility LC issued by such LC Issuer, a fronting fee in an amount as shall be agreed to by the Borrower and the applicable LC Issuer, and (y) documentary and processing charges in connection with the issuance, amendment, cancellation, negotiation, transfer, or other Modification of and draws under Facility LCs in accordance with such LC Issuer’s standard schedule for such charges as in effect from time to time. The LC Participation Fee and each other fee described in this Section 2.22(d) shall constitute an “LC Fee”. All LC Fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(e) Administration; Reimbursement by Lenders. Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Facility LC of any demand for payment under such Facility LC, the applicable LC Issuer shall notify the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each other Lender as to the amount to be paid by such LC Issuer as a result of such demand and the proposed payment date (the “LC Payment Date”). The responsibility of the applicable LC Issuer to the Borrower and each Lender shall be only to determine that the documents (including each demand for payment) delivered under each Facility LC issued by such LC Issuer in connection with such presentment shall be in conformity in all material respects with such Facility LC. Each LC Issuer shall endeavor to exercise the same care in the issuance and administration of its Facility LCs as it does with respect to letters of credit in which no participations are granted, it

being understood that in the absence of any gross negligence or willful misconduct by such LC Issuer, each Lender shall be unconditionally and irrevocably liable without regard to the occurrence of any Event of Default or any condition precedent whatsoever, to reimburse such LC Issuer on demand for (and the Administrative Agent may apply cash collateral provided for this purpose) (i) such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the amount of each payment made by such LC Issuer under each Facility LC issued by it to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.22(g) below, plus (ii) interest on the foregoing amount to be reimbursed by such Lender, for each day from the date of such LC Issuer’s demand for such reimbursement (or, if such demand is made after 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on such date, from the next succeeding Business Day) to the date on which such Lender pays the amount to be reimbursed by it, at a rate of interest per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by such LC Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, which interest shall be solely for the account of the applicable LC Issuer, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such LC Issuer in connection with the foregoing. Any notice given by any LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this paragraph (e) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice. A certificate of the LC Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph (e) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender’s obligation to participate in Facility LCs and to reimburse the LC Issuers for amounts drawn under Facility LCs shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the applicable LC Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuance of an Unmatured Event of Default or (iii) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(f) Reimbursement by Borrower. The Borrower shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to reimburse each LC Issuer on the first Business Day immediately following the applicable LC Payment Date (the “Reimbursement Date”) for any amounts to be paid by such LC Issuer upon any drawing under any Facility LC issued by it, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind; provided that neither the Borrower nor any Lender shall hereby be precluded from asserting any claim for direct (but not consequential) damages suffered by the Borrower or such Lender to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (i) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such LC Issuer or (ii) such LC Issuer’s failure to pay under any Facility LC issued by it after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Facility LC; and provided further that any payments made by the Borrower after the Reimbursement Date as reimbursement for amounts paid by such LC Issuer upon any drawing under such Facility LC shall be made to such LC Issuer as agent for, and for the account of, the Lenders to the extent such Lenders have made payment to such LC Issuer in respect of such Facility LC pursuant to Section 2.22(e) All such amounts paid by such LC Issuer and remaining unpaid by the Borrower on such LC Payment Date shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to (x) the Alternate Base Rate for such day if such day falls on or before the applicable Reimbursement Date and (y) the sum of 2% plus the Alternate Base Rate for such day if such day falls after such Reimbursement Date. Each LC Issuer will pay to each Lender ratably in accordance with its Applicable Percentage all amounts received by it from the Borrower for application in payment, in whole or in part, of the Reimbursement Obligation in respect of any Facility LC issued by it, but only to the extent such Lender has made payment to such LC Issuer in respect of such Facility LC pursuant to Section 2.22(e). Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the submission of a Borrowing Request and the satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article IV), the Borrower may request a Borrowing hereunder for the purpose of satisfying any Reimbursement Obligation.

(g) Repayment of Obligations. (i) At any time after any LC Issuer has made a payment under any Facility LC and has received from any Lender such Lender’s funding of its participation in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.22(b), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such LC Issuer any payment in respect of the related Reimbursement Obligations or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of cash collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of any LC Issuer pursuant to Section 2.22(f) is required to be returned for any reason (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such LC Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such LC Issuer its Applicable Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(h) Obligations Absolute. (i) Except as set forth herein, the Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.22 with respect to each Facility LC shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any circumstances, including the following:

(1) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Facility LC, this Agreement, or any other loan document;

(2) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Facility LC (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the applicable LC Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Facility LC or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

(3) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Facility LC proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Facility LC;

(4) waiver by the applicable LC Issuer of any requirement that exists for such LC Issuer’s protection and not the protection of the Borrower or any waiver by the applicable LC Issuer which does not in fact materially prejudice the Borrower;

(5) honor of a demand for payment presented electronically even if such Facility LC requires that demand be in the form of a draft;

(6) any payment made by the applicable LC Issuer in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the expiration date of, or the date by which documents must be received under such Facility LC if presentation after such date is authorized by the UCC, the ISP or the UCP, as applicable;

(7) any payment by the applicable LC Issuer under such Facility LC against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Facility LC; or any payment made by the applicable LC Issuer under such Facility LC to any Person

purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Facility LC, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or

(8) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary.

The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Facility LC and each Modification thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the applicable LC Issuer. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the applicable LC Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.

(ii) The Borrower further agrees with each LC Issuer and the Lenders that, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct, the LC Issuers and the Lenders shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligation in respect of any Facility LC shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower, any of its Affiliates, the beneficiary of any Facility LC or any financing institution or other party to whom any Facility LC may be transferred or any claims or defenses whatsoever of the Borrower or of any of its Affiliates against the beneficiary of any Facility LC or any such transferee. No LC Issuer shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Facility LC, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct by such LC Issuer. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by any LC Issuer or any Lender under or in connection with each Facility LC and the related drafts and documents, if done without gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding upon the Borrower and shall not put any LC Issuer or any Lender under any liability to the Borrower. Nothing in this Section 2.22(h) is intended to limit the right of the Borrower to make a claim against the applicable LC Issuer for damages as contemplated by the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.22(f). The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Facility LC; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement.

(i) Actions of the LC Issuers. Each LC Issuer shall be entitled, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct by such LC Issuer, to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, in connection with any Facility LC issued by it, upon any draft, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by such LC Issuer. As between the Lenders, and subject to the provisions of this Section 2.22(i), each LC Issuer shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement unless it shall first have received such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it reasonably deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.22, as between the Lenders, each LC Issuer shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Lenders and any future holders of a participation in any Facility LC. Any LC Issuer may send a Facility LC or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.

(j) Indemnification. The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender required to participate in Facility LCs under Section 2.22(b), each LC Issuer and the Administrative Agent, and their respective affiliates, directors, officers, agents and employees from and against any and all claims and damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses which such Lender, such LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent may incur by reason of or in connection with the issuance, execution and delivery or transfer of or payment or failure to pay under any Facility LC or any actual or proposed use of any Facility LC, including, without limitation, any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses which such LC Issuer may incur by reason of or on account of such LC Issuer issuing any Facility LC which specifies that the term “Beneficiary” included therein includes any successor by operation of law of the named Beneficiary, but which Facility LC does not require that any drawing by any such successor Beneficiary be accompanied by a copy of a legal document, satisfactory to the applicable LC Issuer, evidencing the appointment of such successor Beneficiary; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Lender, any LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent for any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (x) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such LC Issuer, Lender or the Administrative Agent or (y) such LC Issuer’s failure to pay under any Facility LC issued by it after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Facility LC. Nothing in this Section 2.22(j) is intended to limit the obligations of the Borrower under any other provision of this Agreement.

(k) Lenders’ Indemnification. Each Lender shall, ratably in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, indemnify each LC Issuer, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such indemnitees’ gross negligence or willful misconduct or such LC Issuer’s failure to pay under any Facility LC issued by it after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Facility LC) that such indemnitees may suffer or incur in connection with this Section 2.22 or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitees hereunder.

(l) Rights as a Lender. In its capacity as a Lender, each LC Issuer shall have the same rights and obligations as any other Lender.

(m) Cash Collateral. So long as no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default is then outstanding or would result therefrom, the Borrower may elect to have a Facility LC remain outstanding subsequent to the Termination Date. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent and the applicable LC Issuer of such election at least 30 days prior to the Termination Date. The Borrower, no later than 30 days prior to the Termination Date, shall deposit into an account with the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders (the “Facility LC Collateral Account”) an amount in cash equal to 105% of the face amount of the applicable Facility LC. Such cash shall be unencumbered and free and clear of Liens (other than those in favor of the Administrative Agent) on and after the date so deposited. Such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of obligations arising under or in connection with the applicable Facility LC. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the Facility LC Collateral Account, and the Facility LC Collateral Account shall otherwise be opened and maintained on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in the Facility LC Collateral

Account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable LC Issuer for draws and related expenses under the related Facility LC. Any amounts remaining on deposit in the Facility LC Collateral Account subsequent to the expiry or termination of all Facility LCs cash collateralized thereby and the payment of all amounts owing under or in connection with such Facility LCs shall be returned to the Borrower; provided, however, that to the extent an Event of Default is then outstanding, such remaining deposit shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to repay any other obligations due and payable under or in connection with the Credit Agreement. No Lender shall be required to participate in any Facility LC or otherwise have any duty or obligation in respect thereof subsequent to the Termination Date if such Facility LC is cash collateralized in accordance with the foregoing.

(n) LC Issuer Agreements. Each LC Issuer agrees that, unless otherwise requested by the Administrative Agent, such LC Issuer shall report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) on the first Business Day of each week, the daily activity (set forth by day) in respect of Facility LCs during the immediately preceding week, including all issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and cancellations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) on or prior to each Business Day on which such LC Issuer expects to issue, amend, renew or extend any Facility LC, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the aggregate face amount of the Facility LCs to be issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension occurred (and whether the amount thereof changed), it being understood that such LC Issuer shall not permit any issuance, renewal, extension or amendment resulting in an increase in the amount of any Facility LC to occur without first obtaining written confirmation from the Administrative Agent that it is then permitted under this Agreement, (iii) on each Business Day on which such LC Issuer pays any amount in respect of one or more drawings under Facility LCs, the date of such payment(s) and the amount of such payment(s), (iv) on any Business Day on which the Borrower fails to reimburse any Reimbursement Obligation required to be reimbursed to such LC Issuer on such day, the date of such failure and the amount and currency of such payment in respect of Facility LCs and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.

(o) Applicability of ISP and UCP; Limitation of Liability. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by any LC Issuer and the Borrower when a Facility is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Facility LC), (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Facility LC, and (ii) the rules of the UCP shall apply to each commercial Facility LC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no LC Issuer shall be responsible to the Borrower for, and the LC Issuers’ rights and remedies against the Borrower shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of any LC Issuer required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Facility LC or this Agreement, including the Law or any order of a jurisdiction where any LC Issuer or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade—International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Facility LC chooses such law or practice.

SECTION 2.23. [Intentionally Omitted].

SECTION 2.24. Increases of Commitments. At any time after the Availability Date, the Borrower may request from time to time that the aggregate amount of the Commitments be increased; provided that, after giving effect to any such increase, (a) the aggregate amount of increases to the Commitments made pursuant to this Section shall at no time exceed $300,000,000, (b) the Borrower shall not be entitled to make any such request more frequently than once in each fiscal quarter, and (c) each such request shall be in a minimum amount of at least $25,000,000 and increments of $25,000,000 in

excess thereof. Such request shall be made in a written notice given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower not less than fifteen (15) Business Days (or such lesser number of days as the Administrative Agent shall agree) prior to the proposed effective date of such increase, which notice (a “Commitment Increase Notice”) shall specify the amount of the proposed increase in the Commitments and the proposed effective date of such increase. No Lender shall have any obligation to increase its Commitment pursuant to a Commitment Increase Notice. On or prior to the date that is ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Commitment Increase Notice, each Lender shall submit to the Administrative Agent a notice indicating the maximum amount by which it is willing to increase its Commitment in connection with such Commitment Increase Notice (any such notice to the Administrative Agent being referred to herein as a “Lender Increase Notice”). Any Lender which does not submit a Lender Increase Notice to the Administrative Agent prior to the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to have denied any increase in its Commitment. The Administrative Agent shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to allocate the amount of increases necessary to meet the Borrower’s Commitment Increase Notice. The Administrative Agent shall assist and consult with the Borrower in an effort to identify financial institutions which may be interested in becoming parties to the Agreement and not later than three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed effective date the Borrower may notify the Administrative Agent of any financial institution that shall have agreed to become a “Lender” party hereto (a “Proposed New Lender”) in connection with the Commitment Increase Notice. Any Proposed New Lender shall be consented to by the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). If the total amount of the proposed commitment increases set forth in the Lender Increase Notices together with the total amount of the proposed commitments of any Proposed New Lender(s) does not equal or exceed the amount of the requested increase of the Commitments set forth in the relevant Commitment Increase Notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have reduced the amount of its Commitment Increase Notice to the aggregate amount set forth in the Lender Increase Notices and Proposed New Lender notices. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders on or before the Business Day immediately prior to the proposed effective date of the amount of each Lender’s and Proposed New Lender’s Commitment (the “Effective Commitment Amount”) and the aggregate amount of the Commitments, which amounts shall be effective on the following Business Day. Any increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments shall be subject to the following conditions precedent: (A) as of the date of the Commitment Increase Notice and as of the proposed effective date of the increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments, each of the representations and warranties of the Borrower hereunder shall be true and correct in all material respects as if made on and as of such date (unless such representation and warranty specifically related back to an earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall have been true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date) and no event shall have occurred and then be continuing which constitutes an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default, (B) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Proposed New Lender or Lender that shall have agreed to provide a “Commitment” in support of such increase in the aggregate Commitments shall have executed and delivered a “Commitment and Acceptance” substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto, (C) counsel for the Borrower shall have provided to the Administrative Agent supplemental opinions in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (D) the Borrower and the Proposed New Lenders shall otherwise have executed and delivered such other instruments and documents as may be required hereunder or that the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably requested in connection with such increase. If any fee shall be charged by the Lenders in connection with any such increase, such fee shall be in accordance with then prevailing market conditions, which market conditions shall have been reasonably documented by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower. Upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent to any increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments, the Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Borrowers and each Lender of the effective date of such increase. Upon the effective date of any increase in the aggregate Commitments that is supported by a Proposed New Lender, such Proposed New Lender shall be a party hereto as a Lender and shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment on the part of any Lender to increase its Commitment hereunder at any time.

For purposes of this Section 2.24, the term “Buying Lender(s)” shall mean (1) each Lender the Effective Commitment Amount of which is greater than its Commitment prior to the effective date of any increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments and (2) each Proposed New Lender that is allocated an Effective Commitment Amount in connection with any Commitment Increase Notice, and the term “Selling Lender(s)” shall mean each Lender whose Commitment under this Agreement is not being increased from that in effect prior to such increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments. Effective on the effective date of any increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to clause (i) above, each Selling Lender hereby sells, grants, assigns and conveys to each Buying Lender, without recourse, warranty, or representation of any kind, except as specifically provided herein, an undivided percentage in such Selling Lender’s right, title and interest in and to its outstanding Loans and LC Obligations in the respective dollar amounts and percentages necessary so that, from and after such sale, each such Selling Lender’s outstanding Loans and LC Obligations shall equal such Selling Lender’s pro rata share thereof (calculated based upon the Effective Commitment Amounts) of the outstanding Loans and LC Obligations under this Agreement. Effective on the effective date of the increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to clause (i) above, each Buying Lender hereby purchases and accepts such grant, assignment and conveyance from the Selling Lenders. Each Buying Lender hereby agrees that its respective purchase price for the portion of the outstanding Loans and LC Obligations purchased hereby shall equal the respective dollar amount necessary so that, from and after such payments, each Buying Lender’s outstanding Loans and LC Obligations shall equal such Buying Lender’s pro rata share thereof (calculated based upon the Effective Commitment Amounts) of the outstanding Loans and LC Obligations under this Agreement. Such amount shall be payable as follows: (a) with respect to all ABR Loans, on the effective date of the increase in the aggregate of the Commitments by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent and (b) with respect to all Eurodollar Loans, unless otherwise agreed to between the Buying Lenders and Selling Lenders and the Borrower, on the earlier of (i) the last day of the then current Interest Period by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent and (ii) the date on which any such Eurodollar Loan either becomes due (by acceleration or otherwise) or is prepaid (such earlier date being hereinafter referred to as the “Settlement Date”) and, for purposes of calculating interest due and payable with respect to the Eurodollar Loans, the Lenders’ pro rata shares thereof in each such outstanding Eurodollar Loan shall not be adjusted by virtue of the applicable increase until such Settlement Date. The Administrative Agent, in turn, shall wire transfer any such funds received to the Selling Lenders, in same day funds, for the sole account of the Selling Lenders. Each Selling Lender hereby represents and warrants to each Buying Lender that such Selling Lender owns the Loans and LC Obligations being sold and assigned hereby for its own account and has not sold, transferred or encumbered any or all of its interest in such Loans or LC Obligations, except for participations which will be extinguished to the extent of such payment upon payment to Selling Lender of an amount equal to the portion of the outstanding Loans and LC Obligations being sold by such Selling Lender. Each Buying Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that, except for each Selling Lender’s representations and warranties contained in the foregoing sentence, each such Buying Lender has entered into its Commitment and Acceptance with respect to such increase on the basis of its own independent investigation and has not relied upon, and will not rely upon, any explicit or implicit written or oral representation, warranty or other statement of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent concerning the authorization, execution, legality, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or the other loan documents delivered in connection herewith. The Borrower hereby agrees to compensate each Selling Lender for all losses, expenses and liabilities incurred by each Lender in connection with the sale and assignment of any Eurodollar Loan hereunder on the terms and in the manner as required hereunder if the Settlement Date is a date (other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period) on which any such Eurodollar Loans become due (by acceleration or otherwise) or are prepaid.

SECTION 2.25. Defaulting Lenders.

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

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 8.02.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VI or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 8.08 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 the LC Issuers or the Swingline Lenders hereunder; third, to cash collateralize the LC Issuers’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.22(m); fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of 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 LC Issuers’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Facility LCs issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.22(m); sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the LC Issuers or the Swingline Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any LC Issuer or any Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or LC Obligations in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Facility LCs were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Obligations owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Obligations owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in LC Obligations and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments hereunder without giving effect to Section 2.25(a)(iv). 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 2.25(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees.

(1) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive fees payable under Section 2.11(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to extent allocable to the sum of (x) the outstanding principal amount of the Loans funded by it, and (y) its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Facility LCs for which it has provided cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.22.

(2) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive LC Participation Fees for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Applicable Percentage of the stated amount of Facility LCs for which it has provided cash collateral pursuant to Section 2.22.

(3) With respect to any fee payable under Section 2.11(a) or any LC Participation Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (1) or (2) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in LC Obligations or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) below, (y) pay to the relevant LC Issuer and the relevant Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such LC Issuer’s or such Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in LC Obligations and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 4.03 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. 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, Repayment of Swingline Loans. If the reallocation described in clause (a)(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 applicable law, (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to the Swingline Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize the LC Issuers’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.22(m).

(vi) Obligation to Issue Facility LCs. No LC Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Facility LC if any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless such LC Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of cash collateral, satisfactory to such LC Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate such LC Issuer’s actual or

potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 2.25(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Facility LC then proposed to be issued or that Facility LC and all other LC Obligations as to which such LC Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lenders and the LC Issuers 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 Facility LCs and Swingline Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to Section 2.25(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

ARTICLE III

Organization, etc. The Borrower is a corporation duly existing in good standing under the laws of the State of Maryland; each Subsidiary is duly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization except where the failure to be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and each of the Borrower and each Subsidiary is duly qualified and in good standing as a foreign corporation authorized to do business in each jurisdiction where, because of the nature of its activities or properties, such qualification is required, except where the failure to so qualify would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.02. Authorization; No Conflict. The execution and delivery by the Borrower of this Agreement, the Borrowings hereunder, and the performance by the Borrower of its obligations under this Agreement are within the Borrower’s corporate powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, have received all necessary governmental approvals (if any shall be required), and do not and will not contravene or conflict with any provision of law, regulation or court order or of the articles of incorporation or by-laws of the Borrower or of any agreement binding upon the Borrower.

SECTION 3.03. Validity and Binding Nature. This Agreement and each Note is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by the availability of the remedy of specific performance.

SECTION 3.04. Financial Statements. (a) The Borrower’s consolidated financial statements dated July 2, 2011, and March 31, 2012, have been prepared in conformity with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with that of the immediately preceding Fiscal Year or the corresponding period during the immediately preceding Fiscal Year, as the case may be, and accurately present the financial condition of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries at such date and the results of their operations through the fiscal period then ended.

(b) Since July 2, 2011, there has been no Material Adverse Effect; provided that, for purposes of making this representation after the Spin Off has occurred, the transactions contemplated by the Spin Off shall be given pro forma effect as if such transactions occurred on July 2, 2011.

SECTION 3.05. Litigation and Contingent Liabilities. No litigation (including, without limitation, derivative actions), arbitration proceedings or governmental proceedings are pending or threatened against the Borrower or any Subsidiary which, in the Borrower’s good faith judgment would, if adversely determined, have a Material Adverse Effect, except as set forth (including estimates of the dollar amounts involved) in Schedule 3.05.

SECTION 3.06. Liens. None of the assets of the Borrower or any Subsidiary are subject to any Lien, except Liens permitted under Section 5.05 and Liens set forth in Schedule 3.06.

SECTION 3.09. Investment Company Act. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

SECTION 3.10. [Intentionally Omitted].

SECTION 3.12. Copyrights, Patents and Trademarks. Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries owns or is licensed or otherwise has the right to use all of the patents, trademarks, trade names, copyrights, franchises, licenses and rights, as the case may be, necessary for the conduct of its business, except where the failure to have any such right would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.13. Pari Passu. All the payment obligations of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders arising under or pursuant to this Agreement will at all times rank at least pari passu with other unsecured and unsubordinated payment obligations and liabilities, including, without limitation, contingent obligations and liabilities, of the Borrower, other than those which are mandatorily preferred by laws or regulations of general application.

SECTION 3.14. Disclosure. The information delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the arrangement of the credit facility established hereby or delivered pursuant hereto (including the information set forth in any confidential information memorandum delivered in connection with such arrangement), when taken as a whole, did not, at the time of delivery, contain any material misstatement of fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading; provided that with respect to projections and other pro forma financial information included in such information, the Borrower only represents that such information was based upon good faith estimates and assumptions reasonably believed by the preparer thereof to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that such financial information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as a fact and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such financial information may differ from the projected results set forth therein by a material amount.

(c) Bankruptcy, Insolvency, etc. The Borrower or any Subsidiary becomes insolvent or is generally unable to pay, or admits in writing its inability or refusal to pay, debts as they become due; or the Borrower or any Subsidiary applies for, or consents in writing to, the appointment of, a trustee, receiver or other custodian for the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any property thereof, or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or a trustee, receiver or other custodian is appointed for the Borrower or any Subsidiary or for a substantial part of the property of any thereof and is not discharged within 45 days; or any bankruptcy, reorganization, debt arrangement, or other case or proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, or any dissolution or liquidation proceeding is commenced in respect of the Borrower or any Subsidiary and if such case or proceeding is not commenced by the Borrower or such Subsidiary, it is consented to or acquiesced in by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or remains for 45 days undismissed; or the Borrower or any Subsidiary takes any corporate action to authorize, or in furtherance of, any of the foregoing.

(d) Non-Compliance with this Agreement. Failure by the Borrower to comply with or to perform any provision of this Agreement applicable to the Borrower (and not constituting an Event of Default under any other provision of this Article VI) and continuance of such failure for 30 days after notice thereof to the Borrower from the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the holder of any Loan or any LC Issuer.

(e) Warranties. Any representation or warranty made by the Borrower herein is false or misleading in any material respect, or any schedule, certificate, financial statement, report, notice, or other writing furnished by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or Lender (including, without limitation, any LC Issuer) is false or misleading in any material respect on the date as of which the facts therein set forth are stated or certified or deemed to be made.

(i) The incurrence of ERISA Unfunded Liabilities determined in the most recent actuarial report received by the Borrower for all ERISA Single Employer Plans, or (ii) the incurrence by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of withdrawal liabilities, or (iii) the existence of an ERISA Termination Event which imposes any material liability on the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other member of the ERISA Controlled Group, which, when taken together, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Final judgment for the payment of money shall be rendered by a court against the Borrower or any Subsidiary and such judgment shall not be discharged (or provision shall not be made for such discharge), a stay of execution thereof shall not be procured, or such judgment shall not be paid or bonded to the reasonable satisfaction of the Required Lenders within 30 days from the date of entry thereof and the Borrower or any Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall not, within said period of 30 days or such longer period during which the execution of the same shall have been stayed, appeal therefrom and cause the execution thereof to be stayed during such appeal, provided, however, that the amount of all such outstanding judgments shall be in the aggregate at any one time equal to or greater than $75,000,000 (exclusive of judgment amounts fully covered by insurance where the insurer has not denied liability in respect of such judgment).

(h) Change of Control. (i) Any person or group of persons (within the meaning of Section 13 or 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) shall have acquired beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under said Act) of 50% or more of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Borrower or (ii) on and after the Availability Date and after giving effect to the Spin Off, Continuing Directors no longer constitute a majority of the board of directors of the Borrower.

SECTION 6.02. Effect of Event of Default. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 6.02, if any Event of Default described in Section 6.01(c) shall occur, the Commitments (if they have not theretofore terminated) shall immediately terminate and all Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder shall become immediately due and payable, all without notice of any kind; and in the case of any other Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may (and upon written request of the Required Lenders shall) declare the Commitments (if they have not theretofore terminated) to be terminated and all Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder to be immediately due and payable, whereupon the Commitments (if they have not theretofore terminated) shall immediately terminate and all Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder shall become immediately due and payable, all without notice of any kind. The Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Borrower and each Lender of any such

declaration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the effect as an Event of Default of any event described in Section 6.01(a) or Section 6.01(c) may be waived by the written consent of all the Lenders and the effect as an Event of Default of any other event described in this Article VI may be waived by the written consent of the Required Lenders.

ARTICLE VII

The Administrative Agent

Each of the Lenders and each of the LC Issuers hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America, N.A. as the Administrative Agent 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, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article VII are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and the Borrower shall not 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 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.

The bank serving as Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender (if acting in the capacity of 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, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 8.02), 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 this Agreement or any other loan document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law, and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 8.02); (ii) at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances

as provided in Section 8.02); or (iii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and 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, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein (except insofar as a determination by the Administrative Agent is required for such satisfaction), other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the 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 believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent 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 be 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 that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. 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.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers 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 its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs 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 the 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.

The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the LC Issuers and the Borrower in writing. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower (if no Event of Default 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 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, 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.

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, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other loan documents and (ii) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then 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 directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall replace and be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 8.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring 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 it was acting as Administrative Agent.

Any resignation by Bank of America, N.A. as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Article VI shall also constitute its resignation as an LC Issuer and a Swingline Lender. If Bank of America, N.A. resigns as an LC Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an LC Issuer hereunder with respect to all Facility LCs outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an LC Issuer and all LC Obligations with respect thereto, including the right to require the Lenders to make Loans or fund risk participations pursuant to Section 2.22(e). If Bank of America, N.A. resigns as a Swingline Lender, it shall retain all the rights of a Swingline Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swingline Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(c). Upon the appointment by the Borrower of a successor LC Issuer or Swingline Lender hereunder (which successor shall in all cases be a Lender other than a Defaulting Lender), (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring LC Issuer or Swingline Lender, as applicable, (b) the retiring LC Issuer and Swingline Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other loan documents, and (c) the successor LC Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Facility LCs issued by the retiring LC Issuer, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America, N.A. to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America, N.A. with respect to such Facility LCs.

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

Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that neither the Syndication Agent nor any of the Co-Documentation Agents or Co-Agents shall have any separate duties, responsibilities, obligations or authority under this Agreement in such capacity.

SECTION 8.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or the issuance of a Facility LC shall not be construed as a waiver of any Event of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender, including, without limitation, any LC Issuer, may have had notice or knowledge of such Event of Default at the time.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that the consent of all affected Lenders will be required with respect to (i) reductions in the unpaid principal amount or extensions of the scheduled date for the payment of principal of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, (ii) reductions in interest rates or fees or extensions of the dates for payment thereof, (iii) increases in the amounts or extensions of the expiry date of the Lenders’ Commitments, including any commitment to issue Facility LCs (provided, however, that an increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.24 shall be governed by the requirements of such Section and not the consent requirements of this Section; provided, further, that any amendment or modification of Section 2.24 shall require the consent of all of the Lenders), and the consent of 100% of the Lenders will be required with respect to (x) changes to Section 2.13(b) or (c) that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby or to the last sentence of Section 2.08(c) which would alter the pro rata reduction of Commitments thereby, or (y) changes to any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, any Swingline Lender or any LC Issuer hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, such Swingline Lender or such LC Issuer, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision of this Agreement may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent if (i) by the terms of such agreement the Commitment of each Lender not consenting to the amendment provided for therein shall terminate upon the effectiveness of such amendment and (ii) at the time such amendment becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto receives payment in full of the principal of and interest accrued on each Loan made by it and all other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement, including, without limitation, amounts owing in connection with Facility LCs issued by such Lender or in which such Lender has participated. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender disproportionately adversely relative to other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

SECTION 8.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) Subject to the terms of the Administrative Agent Fee Letter and the Arranger Fee Letters, the Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Arrangers and their Affiliates associated with the arrangement, syndication and administration of the credit facilities provided for herein and the preparation, execution, delivery and administration of the credit documentation and any amendment, modification or waiver with respect thereto, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one primary legal counsel for the Administrative Agent and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction for the Administrative Agent (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of one primary legal counsel for the Administrative Agent and one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction for the Administrative Agent and one additional counsel for all Lenders other than the Administrative Agent and additional counsel in light of actual or potential conflicts of interest or the availability of different claims or defenses, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available (a) to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or related expenses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or from the Indemnitee’s material breach of its obligations under this Agreement pursuant to a claim initiated by the Borrower, in each case as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment or (b) for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or indirect damages), except with respect to any such damages incurred or paid by an Indemnitee to a third party to the extent required to be indemnified by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 8.03(b).

(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, any Swingline Lender or any LC Issuer under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, such Swingline Lender or such LC Issuer, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, such Swingline Lender or such LC Issuer in its capacity as such.

(d) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly upon presentation of a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail such request for reimbursement.

(e) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and each party hereto hereby waives, and acknowledges that no party hereto shall have, or make, any claim against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other loan document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Facility LC or the use of the proceeds thereof (except with respect to any such damages incurred or paid by an Indemnitee to a third party to the extent required to be indemnified by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.03(b)). No Indemnitee referred to in clause (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other loan documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

SECTION 8.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) 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 each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent 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 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) Any Lender may assign and sell to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations at the time owing to it), and all assignments will be by novation; provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent must give their prior written consent to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) (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 ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof), (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, (iii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $4,000, and (v) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire; and provided further that any consent of the Borrower otherwise required under this paragraph shall not be required if an Event of Default under clause (c) of Section 6.01 has occurred and is continuing. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations (including, without limitation, the obligation to timely deliver the documentation described in Section 2.20(f)) of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14, 2.18, 2.20 and 8.03 incurred during the time period for which such party was Lender hereunder). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under 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 paragraph (e) of this Section.

(c) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of and interest on 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, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent 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, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Administrative Agent, when applicable, shall also record in the Register the amount of Reimbursement Obligations owing to such Lender.

(d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(e) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations 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 and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. 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 first proviso to Section 8.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (f) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14, 2.18 and 2.20 during the time period for which such party is a Participant to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section, provided that no Participant shall be entitled to any payment under Section 2.20 in respect of Taxes attributable to such Participant’s failure to deliver the documentation described in Section 2.20(f). 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 stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Commitments, Loans, Reimbursement Obligations or other obligations under this Agreement (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 or its other obligations under this Agreement) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Reimbursement Obligation or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant. No Participant shall have the right of setoff provided in Section 8.08 in respect of its participation.

(g) The Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Lender, Participant, any prospective Participant or any prospective assignee referred to in paragraph (b) above (i) which is a commercial bank or an insurance company, or a savings and loan association or company, any and all financial and other information in such Lender’s possession from time to time; and (ii) which is not a commercial bank or an insurance company or a savings and loan association or company, including, without limitation, to any direct, indirect, actual or prospective counterparty (and its advisor) to any swap,

derivative, or securitization transaction related to the obligations under this Agreement, (A) any and all public financial information and other public information in such Lender’s possession from time to time; and (B) after receipt of the written consent of the Borrower and receipt of a confidentiality agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, executed by the person to receive such information, all other financial and other information in such Lender’s possession from time to time which does not constitute public financial information and other public information, as the case may be, concerning the Borrower and the Subsidiaries which has been delivered to such Lender by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, or otherwise obtained by such Lender or the Administrative Agent, pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent in connection with such Lender’s credit evaluation of the Borrower prior to entering into this Agreement or any swap, derivative, or securitization transaction related to the obligations under this Agreement. As used in this paragraph, “public financial information and other public information” means all financial or other information regarding the Borrower and the Subsidiaries, other than that which the Borrower designates in writing as being confidential at the time such information is delivered to any Lender or the Administrative Agent and is not generally available to the public at such time; provided, however, such information shall: (i) cease to be confidential when it becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by such Lender’s or the Administrative Agent’s representatives; or (ii) cease to be confidential when it becomes available to such Lender or the Administrative Agent on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or one of the Borrower’s agents; or (iii) be deemed not to be confidential if such information was known to such Lender or the Administrative Agent on a non-confidential basis prior to the disclosure of such information to such Lender or the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or an agent of the Borrower; or (iv) cease to be confidential when required to be disclosed by law (including statute, rule, regulation or judicial process), including, without limitation, to bank examiners and auditors and appropriate government examining authorities; provided further that the Administrative Agent and any Lender may disclose such information (i) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (iii) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other loan document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder or (iv) on a confidential basis (x) to any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided hereunder or (y) with respect to this Agreement only, to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the credit facilities provided hereunder.

(h) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time any LC Issuer or Swingline Lender assigns all of its Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, such Lender may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as an LC Issuer and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrower, resign as a Swingline Lender. In the event of any such resignation as an LC Issuer or a Swingline Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor LC Issuer or Swingline Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of such Lender as an LC Issuer or a Swingline Lender, as the case may be. If any Lender resigns as an LC Issuer, it shall retain all the

rights, powers, privileges and duties of an LC Issuer hereunder with respect to all Facility LCs outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an LC Issuer and all LC Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Loans or fund risk participations pursuant to Section 2.22(e)). If any Lender resigns as a Swingline Lender, it shall retain all the rights of a Swingline Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swingline Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(c). Upon the appointment of a successor LC Issuer and/or Swingline Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring LC Issuer or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor LC Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Facility LCs issued by such resigning LC Issuer, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the resigning LC Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of such Lender with respect to such Facility LCs.

(j) No assignment permitted by this Section 8.04 shall be made (i) to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (ii) 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 (ii), or (iii) to a natural Person.

SECTION 8.05. Survival. All representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the making of any Loans and the issuance of any Facility LC, regardless of any investigation made by any party hereto or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Facility LC is outstanding and as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.18, 2.20 and 8.03 and Article VII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations, and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 8.06. Counterparts; Integration; Signature Pages. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic transmission (e.g., “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 8.07. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement, each Note and each Facility LC shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under such applicable law, however, any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 8.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies which such Lender may have.

SECTION 8.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

(b) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any loan document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other loan document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other loan document against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 8.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 8.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).

SECTION 8.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 8.12. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate or fee rate applicable to any Loan or Facility LC, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan or Facility LC under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan or Facility LC in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest or fee rate payable in respect of such Loan or Facility LC hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate.

SECTION 8.13. Confirmations. The Borrower and each Lender agree from time to time, upon written request received by it from the other, to confirm to the other in writing (with a copy of each such confirmation to the Administrative Agent) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans of such Lender.

ARTICLE IX

USA PATRIOT Act Notification

The following notification is provided to the Borrower pursuant to Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, 31 U.S.C. Section 5318 (the “Patriot Act”):

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT. To help the government of the United States of America fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each Person that opens an account, including any deposit account, treasury management account, loan, other extension of credit, or other financial services product. Accordingly, when the Borrower opens an account, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders will ask for the Borrower’s name, tax identification number, business address, and other information that will allow the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to identify the Borrower. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may also ask to see the Borrower’s legal organizational documents or other identifying documents.

The remainder of this page is intentionally blank.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized signatories as of the day and year first above written.
