     Section 2.01 The Advances. Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make Advances to the Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until the Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount (based in respect of any Advance denominated in Sterling on the Equivalent in Dollars), not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Commitment less (i) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations and (ii) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans. Each Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 (or the Equivalent thereof in Sterling) or an

integral multiple of $1,000,000 (or the Equivalent thereof in Sterling) in excess thereof and shall consist of Advances of the same Type made on the same day by the Lenders ratably according to their respective Commitments. Within the limits of each Lender’s Commitment, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay pursuant to Section 2.11 and reborrow under this Section 2.01.

     Section 2.02 Making the Advances. (a) Each Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than (x) 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurocurrency Rate Advances denominated in Dollars, (y) 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the fifth Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurocurrency Rate Advances denominated in Sterling, or (z) 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances, by the Borrower Agent to the Administrative Agent, which shall give to each Lender prompt notice thereof. Each such notice of a Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be by telephone, confirmed promptly in writing, and signed by a duly authorized officer of the Borrower Agent, or any other employee of the Borrower Agent that is authorized by the President or Chief Financial Officer of the Borrower Agent, in substantially the form of Exhibit B-1 hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing, (iii) aggregate amount of such Borrowing, (iv) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the initial Interest Period and whether such Advance shall be in Dollars or in Sterling, and (v) applicable Borrower. Each Lender shall, before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account, in Same Day Funds, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the applicable Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s address referred to in Section 8.02; provided, however, that if, on the date the Notice of Borrowing with respect to such Borrowing is given by the Borrower Agent, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, and second, shall be made available to the applicable Borrower as provided above.

     (b) Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Borrowers may not select Eurocurrency Rate Advances for any Borrowing if the aggregate amount of such Borrowing is less than $5,000,000 (or the Equivalent thereof in Sterling) or if the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall then be suspended pursuant to Section 2.09 or 2.13 and (ii) the Eurocurrency Rate Advances may not be outstanding as part of more than ten separate Borrowings.

     (c) Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowers. In the case of any Borrowing that the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing for such Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation, any loss (excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds

acquired by such Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.

     (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.02 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, but shall have no obligation to, make available to the applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such amount available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable at the time to Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Overnight Rate. If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement, and thereafter, the Borrowers’ obligation to repay such amount to the Administrative Agent in accordance with this subsection (d) shall no longer be required; provided that the Borrowers shall not be relieved of their obligation to pay the interest on such amount referred to herein unless and only to the extent that such Lender has paid the interest on such amount referred to herein.

     (e) The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

     Section 2.03 Letters of Credit.

     (a) The Letter of Credit Commitment.

     (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) the L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars or Sterling for the account of either Borrower or its respective Subsidiaries, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below, and (2) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; and (B) the Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued for the account of either Borrower or its Subsidiaries (for the avoidance of doubt, including any Letters of Credit with an expiry date later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date issued in accordance with Section 2.03(a)(ii)(B) below) and any drawings thereunder; provided that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit (based in respect of any Letter of Credit denominated in Sterling on the Equivalent in Dollars), (x)

the Outstanding Amount of all Advances, all L/C Obligations and all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the Total Commitment, (y) the Outstanding Amount of the Advances of any Lender plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, and (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Each request by the Borrower Agent for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrowers that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers’ ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrowers may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

     (ii) The L/C Issuer shall not issue any Letter of Credit if:

     (A) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of the requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last extension, provided that a requested Letter of Credit may have an expiry date that occurs more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last extension if all Lenders have approved such expiry date; or

     (B) the expiry date of the requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless (i) on or before the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, the Borrowers have Cash Collateralized 100% of the undrawn amount of such Letter of Credit, such Cash Collateral to be in the same currency as the related Letter of Credit or (ii) all the Lenders have otherwise approved such expiry date.

     (iii) The L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

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

     (B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the L/C Issuer applicable to letters of credit generally, so long as such

policies are consistently applied by the L/C Issuer to its customers generally and to letters of credit issued by it, such policies are not unusual to similarly situated financial institutions and such policies are not contrary to the express contractual obligations of the L/C Issuer under this Agreement;

     (C) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer, the Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $1,000,000;

     (D) the Letter of Credit is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars or Sterling;

     (E) any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, unless the L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of Cash Collateral, satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (in its sole discretion) with the Borrowers or such Lender to eliminate the L/C Issuer’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 8.16(a)(iv)) with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other L/C Obligations as to which the L/C Issuer has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion; or

     (F) the Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder.

     (iv) The L/C Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the L/C Issuer would not be permitted at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof.

     (v) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to the Letter of Credit.

     (vi) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the Administrative Agent in Article VII with respect to any acts taken or omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article VII included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.

     (b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.

     (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower Agent delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a duly authorized officer of the Borrower Agent or any other

employee of the Borrower Agent that is authorized by the President or Chief Financial Officer of the Borrower Agent. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) at least one Business Day (or such later date and time as the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature of the requested Letter of Credit; (H) the applicable Borrower or Subsidiary on whose account the Letter of Credit is being issued; and (I) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may require. Additionally, the Borrower Agent shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.

     (ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower Agent and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in Article III shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the applicable Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit (for the avoidance of doubt, including any Letters of Credit with an expiry date later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date issued in accordance with Section 2.03(a)(ii)(B)), each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share Percentage times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

     (iii) If the Borrower Agent so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the L/C Issuer to

prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) 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 Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the L/C Issuer, the Borrower Agent shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date unless on or before the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, the Borrowers have complied with the requirements set forth in Section 2.03(a)(ii)(B), in which case such expiry date shall not extend more than twelve months past the Letter of Credit Expiration Date unless all Lenders have otherwise consented thereto; provided, however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) 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 any Loan Party that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 3.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.

     (iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

     (c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

     (i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent thereof. In the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in Sterling, the Borrowers shall reimburse the L/C Issuer in Sterling, unless (A) the L/C Issuer (at its option) shall have specified in such notice that it will require reimbursement in Dollars, or (B) in the absence of any such requirement for reimbursement in Dollars, the Borrower Agent shall have notified the L/C Issuer promptly following receipt of the notice of drawing that the Borrowers will reimburse the L/C Issuer in Dollars. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Letter of Credit denominated in Sterling, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower Agent of the Equivalent in Dollars of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the next Business Day succeeding payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrowers shall reimburse the L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrowers fail to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of

the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (expressed in the Equivalent in Dollars thereof in the case of a Letter of Credit denominated in Sterling) (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, the Borrower Agent shall be deemed to have requested a Borrowing of Base Rate Advances to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount (expressed in the amount of the Equivalent in Dollars thereof in the case of any Unreimbursed Amount in Sterling), without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.01 for the principal amount of Base Rate Advances, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Total Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower Agent of a Notice of Borrowing). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.03(c)(i) 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.

     (ii) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the L/C Issuer, in Dollars, at the Administrative Agent’s office for Dollar-denominated payments in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Advance to the Borrowers in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer in Dollars.

     (iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Borrowing of Base Rate Advances because the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount (expressed in the amount of the Equivalent in Dollars thereof in the case of any Unreimbursed Amount in Sterling) that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest in accordance with Section 2.08(b). In such event, each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.03.

     (iv) Until each Lender funds its Advance or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.

     (v) Each Lender’s obligation to make Advances or L/C Advances to reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right

which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, either Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Advances pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower Agent of a Notice of Borrowing). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

     (vi) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance included in the relevant Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the L/C Issuer submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

     (d) Repayment of Participations.

     (i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrowers or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof (based on the Equivalent in Dollars for any payment received in Sterling) in Dollars .

     (ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned by the L/C Issuer (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share 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.

     (e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrowers to reimburse the L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

     (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;

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

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

     (iv) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, so long as the L/C Issuer reasonably determined that such draft or certificate substantially complied with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit 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 Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under the bankruptcy code of the United States or any other liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, or similar debtor relief laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions from time to time in effect and affecting the rights of creditors generally; or

     (v) 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, a Borrower or any Subsidiary.

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

     (f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and each Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any

document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrowers hereby assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrowers’ pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(e); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrowers may have a claim against the L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrowers, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrowers which the Borrowers prove were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

     (g) Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer and the Borrowers when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit.

     (h) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share Percentage, in Dollars, a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Advances times the Equivalent in Dollars of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit; provided, however, any Letter of Credit Fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.03 or Section 2.18 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Pro Rata Share Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 8.16(a)(iv), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the L/C Issuer for its own account. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.04. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March,

June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand and (ii) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears. If there is any change in the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Advances during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Advances separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Advances was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at a rate equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Advances plus 2% per annum.

     (i) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The Borrowers shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account, in Dollars, a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum specified in the Fee Letter, computed on the Equivalent in Dollars of the daily amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit on a quarterly basis in arrears Such fronting fee shall be due and payable on the tenth Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.04. In addition, the Borrowers shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account, in Dollars, the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.

     (j) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.

     (k) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Borrowers shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrowers, and that each Borrower’s respective business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

     Section 2.04 Swing Line Loans.

     (a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.04, to make Advances (each such Advance, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date to the Termination Date in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of Advances of the Swing Line Lender, may exceed the

amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, (i) the Outstanding Amount of all Advances, all L/C Obligations and all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the Total Commitment, and (ii) the Outstanding Amount of the Advances of any Lender plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment, and provided, further, that the Borrowers shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.11, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall be in Dollars. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

     (b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower Agent’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 3:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $1,000,000, (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day and (iii) identifying the applicable Borrower. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a duly authorized officer of the Borrower Agent or any other employee of the Borrower Agent that is authorized by the President or Chief Financial Officer of the Borrower Agent. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Lender) prior to 4:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 3.02 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 5:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the applicable Borrower in Same Day Funds.

     (c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.

     (i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrowers (each of which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Lender make a Base Rate Advance in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Notice of Borrowing for purposes hereof) and in

accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.01 for the principal amount of Base Rate Advances, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Total Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 3.02. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower Agent with a copy of the applicable Notice of Borrowing promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall make an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount specified in such Notice of Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to the applicable Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s office not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day specified in such Notice of Borrowing, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Advance to the Borrowers in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

     (ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such an Advance in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Advances submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

     (iii) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

     (iv) Each Lender’s obligation to make Advances or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, either Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) in the case of each Lender’s obligation to purchase and fund risk participations only, the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make Advances (but not to fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans) pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the

obligation of the Borrowers to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

     (d) Repayment of Participations.

     (i) At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share (determined at the time of such purchase and funding) of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

     (ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of the all amounts owing hereunder and under any Loan Document and the termination of this Agreement.

     (e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower Agent for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until a Lender funds its Base Rate Advance or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Pro Rata Share shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender, and after such Lender funds its Base Rate Advance or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Swing Line Loan, such interest shall be for the account of such Lender.

     (f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrowers shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

     Section 2.05 Fees. In addition to certain fees described in subsections (h) and (i) of Section 2.03:

     (a) Facility Fee. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee on (i) until the Termination Date, the aggregate amount of such Lender’s Commitment from the Effective Date in the case of each Initial Lender and from the effective date specified in the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which it became a Lender in the case of each other Lender until the Termination Date and (ii) after the Termination Date in the event that any Letter of Credit is issued with an expiry date that occurs beyond the Termination Date, on the aggregate amount of such Lender’s unfunded and funded risk

participations in all such Letters of Credit until such Letters of Credit have expired and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto have been paid in full or terminated (the “Extended L/C Termination Date”), in each case, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 8.16, at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Percentage in effect from time to time, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December (each a “Facility Fee Payment Date”), commencing with the Facility Fee Payment Date first occurring after the Effective Date, and, in the case of clause (i) above, on the Termination Date, and in the case of clause (ii) above on the Extended L/C Termination Date.

     (b) Agent’s Fees. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account such fees as may from time to time be agreed between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, including without limitation in the Fee Letter.

     Section 2.06 Termination or Reduction of the Commitments. The Borrowers shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate in whole or permanently reduce ratably in part the unused portions of the respective Commitments of the Lenders, provided that each partial reduction of the Total Commitment shall be in the aggregate amount of $25,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

     Section 2.07 Repayment of Advances.

     (a) The Borrowers shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders on the Termination Date the aggregate principal amount of all Advances then outstanding together with all accrued and unpaid interest, fees and costs associated therewith. Repayments made pursuant to this clause (a) shall be in the same currency in which such outstanding Advances were made.

     (b) The Borrowers shall repay each Swing Line Loan together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon on the earlier to occur of (i) the date ten (10) Business Days after such Swing Line Loan is made, and (ii) the Termination Date.

     (a) Scheduled Interest. The Borrowers shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance owing to each Lender from the date of such Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

     (i) Base Rate Advances. During such periods as such Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (x) the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus (y) the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Advances in effect from time to time, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December during such periods and on the date such Base Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.

     (ii) Eurocurrency Rate Advances.

     (c) If the Borrowers shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01, the Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower Agent and the Lenders and such Advances will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Advance, Convert into Base Rate Advances.

     (d) On the date on which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Eurocurrency Rate Advances comprising any Borrowing shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than $5,000,000, such Advances shall automatically Convert into Base Rate Advances.

(New York City time) on the third Business Day, with respect to Advances in Dollars, or the fifth Business Day, with respect to Advances in Sterling, prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.09 and 2.13, Convert all Advances of one Type comprising the same Borrowing into Advances of the other Type; provided, however, that any Conversion of Eurocurrency Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Advances, any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified in Section 2.02(b) and no Conversion of any Advances shall result in more separate Eurocurrency Rate Borrowings than permitted under Section 2.02(b). Each such notice of a Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Advances to be Converted, and (iii) if such Conversion is into Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for each such Advance. Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowers.

     (b) Mandatory Prepayments.

     (i) If at any time the sum of (A) the aggregate principal amount of all Advances denominated in Dollars then outstanding plus (B) the Equivalent in Dollars of the aggregate principal amount of all Advances denominated in Sterling then outstanding plus (C) the aggregate amount of all L/C Obligations denominated in Dollars then outstanding plus (D) the Equivalent in Dollars of the aggregate amount of all L/C Obligations denominated in Sterling outstanding exceeds the Total Commitment on such date, the Borrowers shall, within two Business Days after receipt of such notice given pursuant to (ii) below, prepay the outstanding principal amount of any Advances and/or Cash Collateralize 100% of the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.11(b) in an aggregate amount sufficient to reduce such sum to an amount not to exceed the Total Commitment on such date.

The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice of any prepayment required under this Section 2.11(b) to the Borrower Agent and the Lenders.

     (c) Hedging Agreements. All Hedging Agreements, if any, between the Borrowers and any Lender or its affiliates are independent agreements governed by the written provisions of such Hedging Agreements, which will remain in full force and effect, unaffected by any repayment, prepayment, acceleration, reduction, increase or change in terms of this Agreement or the Notes, except as otherwise expressly provided in said written swap agreements, and any payoff statements from the Administrative Agent relating to this Agreement shall not apply to said Hedging Agreements, except as otherwise expressly provided in such payoff statement.

     (a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation occurring after the date hereof, (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) issued or made after the date hereof, or (iii) the Mandatory Cost, as calculated hereunder, not representing the cost to any Lender or the L/C Issuer of complying with the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank in relation to its making, funding or maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Advances or participating in, issuing or maintaining Letters of Credit, there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Advances or to any

Lender or the L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letters of Credit (excluding for purposes of this Section 2.12 any such increased costs resulting from (i) Indemnifiable Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.15 shall govern) and (ii) changes in taxes measured by or imposed upon the net income or gross income or franchise taxes, or taxes measured by or imposed upon capital or net worth, or branch taxes, of such Lender, its Applicable Lending Office or the L/C Issuer), then the Borrowers shall from time to time, within ten days of demand by such Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or the L/C Issuer additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer for such increased cost; provided that, before making any such demand, each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office and the L/C Issuer agrees to use reasonable efforts to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates if the making of such a designation or assignment would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such additional cost and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender or the L/C Issuer.

     (b) If any Lender or the L/C Issuer reasonably determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) issued or made after the date hereof affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any corporation controlling such Lender or the L/C Issuer and that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend hereunder, the L/C Issuer’s commitment to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, and other commitments of similar types, and such Lender or the L/C Issuer reasonably determines that the rate of return on its or such controlling corporation’s capital as a consequence is reduced to a level below that which such Lender, the L/C Issuer or such controlling corporation would have achieved but for the occurrence of such conditions, then, within ten days of demand by such Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, from time to time as specified by such Lender or the L/C Issuer, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender, the L/C Issuer or such corporation in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender or the L/C Issuer reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s commitment to lend hereunder.

     (c) If a Lender changes its Applicable Lending Office or the L/C Issuer assigns its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates (other than pursuant to this Section 2.12 or Section 2.13 or 2.15(g)) and the effect of such change, as of the date of such change, would be to cause the Borrowers to become obligated to pay any additional amounts under this Section 2.12, the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay such additional amount.

     (d) A certificate of a Lender or the L/C Issuer setting forth the amount of any claim made under this Section 2.12 and identifying with reasonable specificity the basis for calculating such amount, shall be delivered to the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

     Section 2.13 Illegality; Circumstances Affecting Availability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent (who will promptly notify the Borrower Agent and the other Lenders) that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation after the date hereof makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurocurrency Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Advances for which interest is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate or to fund or maintain such Advances hereunder, or if the Administrative Agent determines that by reason of circumstances affecting foreign exchange and interbank markets generally, the Eurocurrency Rate cannot be determined, then (A) each Eurocurrency Rate Advance will automatically, upon such notice, Convert into a Base Rate Advance (the interest rate on which Base Rate Advances shall, if necessary to avoid any illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate), and (B) the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances, Convert Base Rate Advances into Eurocurrency Rate Advances or, if necessary to avoid any illegality, to make Base Rate Advances the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate component of the Base Rate shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower Agent and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension or inability to determine the Eurocurrency Rate no longer exist or that such Lender has entered into one or more Assignment and Assumptions pursuant to Section 8.06 assigning its Commitment to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that, before making any such demand, each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a designation would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

     Section 2.14 Payments Generally and Computations.

     (a) General. All payments hereunder and under the Notes to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. The Borrowers shall make each payment hereunder and under the Notes not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in Dollars, in the case of Advances denominated in Dollars, or in Sterling, in the case of Advances denominated in Sterling, to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account in Same Day Funds. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or facility fees ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.12, 2.15 or 8.04(c)) to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Assumption and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 8.06(c), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Assumption, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Assumption shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.

     (b) All computations of interest based on the Base Rate (including in each case where the Base Rate is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate) or the Federal Funds Rate and all computations of interest in respect of Advances denominated in Sterling shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the Eurocurrency Rate (other than (i) any case where the Base Rate is determined by reference to the Eurocurrency Rate, and (ii) in respect of interest on Advances in Sterling) and of facility fees, shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or facility fees are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

     (c) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or facility fee, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, or cause any payment of interest on or principal of Advances to be made after the Maturity Date, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

     (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower Agent prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders or the L/C Issuer hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender or the L/C Issuer. If and to the extent the Borrowers shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer until the date such Lender or the L/C Issuer repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Overnight Rate.

     Section 2.15 Taxes.

     (a) Except as otherwise required by law, any and all payments by the Borrowers hereunder, under the Notes or under any other Loan Document issued hereunder shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.14, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings and all liabilities with respect thereto (all such taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings, and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder, under the Notes or under any other Loan Document, along with any penalties, additions to tax, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (whether or not correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant taxing authority), collectively being hereafter referred to as “Taxes”), excluding, in the case of payments made to any Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent (A) Taxes imposed on or measured by its net income, and franchise Taxes, branch Taxes, Taxes on doing business and Taxes measured by or imposed upon its capital or net worth, in each case imposed as a result of

such Lender (and or such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office), the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent being organized under the laws of, or being a legal resident of, or having a fixed place of business or a permanent establishment or doing business in the jurisdiction imposing such Tax (other than any such connection arising solely from such Lender (and or such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office), the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent having executed, delivered or performed its obligations, or having received a payment, or having enforced its rights and remedies, under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents), (B) United States branch profits tax or any similar tax imposed by any jurisdiction in which either Borrower is located, (C) in the case of a Lender (including such a Lender when acting in the capacity of L/C Issuer) organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, any United States withholding tax that is required to be imposed on amounts payable to such Lender (including such a Lender when acting in the capacity of L/C Issuer) pursuant to applicable laws in force at the time such Lender becomes a party hereto (or designates a new Applicable Lending Office), (D) as provided in Section 2.15(g), (E) any tax imposed by Sections 1471-1474 of the Code, (F) United Kingdom withholding Taxes except to the extent such United Kingdom withholding Taxes would not have been imposed but for a change, after the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) becomes a party hereto, in United Kingdom tax law or officially published HM Revenue & Customs practice or an amendment or revocation, after the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) becomes a party hereto, of an applicable United Kingdom income tax treaty with Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Iceland, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland or the United States, and (G) United Kingdom Taxes imposed as a result of the failure of HM Revenue & Customs to approve, on or before a payment of interest to a Lender hereunder, a claim by such Lender for exemption from such United Kingdom Taxes, where such failure is due to such Lender’s failure to submit a validly completed and executed Treaty Form within a reasonable time after such Lender would have been allowed to submit such Treaty Form, it being understood that after any such approval by HM Revenue & Customs of such Lender’s claim for exemption, such United Kingdom Taxes with respect to such Lender shall not be excluded from the application of this Section 2.15(a) (any non-excluded Taxes hereinafter referred to as “Indemnifiable Taxes”). If either Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Indemnifiable Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder, under any Note issued hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent or, if the Administrative Agent shall be required by law to deduct any Indemnifiable Taxes from or in respect of any sum paid or payable hereunder, under any Note or under any other Loan Document to any Lender or the L/C Issuer, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions for Indemnifiable Taxes (including deductions for Indemnifiable Taxes, whether by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15) such Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower (or, as the case may be and as required by applicable law, the Administrative Agent) shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower (or, as the case may be and as required by applicable law, the Administrative Agent) shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

     (b) In addition, the Borrowers shall timely pay in accordance with applicable laws any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise (other than income) or

property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder, under the Notes or under any other Loan Document or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or performing under this Agreement, the Notes, any other Loan Document or any document to be furnished under or in connection with any thereof or any modification or amendment in respect of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”); provided that for the avoidance of doubt, the Taxes imposed by Sections 1471-1474 of the Code shall not be treated as Other Taxes.

     (c) The Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Indemnifiable Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on or paid by such Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.

     (d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Indemnifiable Taxes under Section 2.15(a) by the Borrowers, the Borrower Agent shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 8.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment to the extent such receipt is received by the Borrowers, or other written proof of payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent showing payment thereof. In the case of any payment hereunder or under the Notes issued hereunder by or on behalf of a Borrower organized under the laws of the United Kingdom through an account or branch outside the United Kingdom or by or on behalf of the Borrower by a payor that is not a United Kingdom person, if the Borrower determines that no Indemnifiable Taxes are payable in respect thereof, the Borrower shall furnish, or shall cause such payor to furnish, to the Administrative Agent, at such address, an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Administrative Agent stating that such payment is exempt from Indemnifiable Taxes.

     (e) Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender and on the date of the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter as requested in writing by the Borrower Agent shall provide each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Agent with (i) two original Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI, or W-8IMY as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States withholding tax and (ii) to the extent that any such form or other certification becomes obsolete with respect to any Lender, such Lender shall, upon the written request of the Borrower Agent to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, promptly provide either an updated or successor form or certification to the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent unless, in each case, any change in treaty, law or regulation has occurred after the date such Lender becomes a party hereunder which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender so advises the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent. Each Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code shall deliver to the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable laws or reasonably requested by the

Borrower Agent or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

     (f) Each Lender shall (i) as soon as reasonably practicable following the date it becomes a party hereto, submit to its Relevant Taxing Authority a validly completed Treaty Form (or successor Treaty Form thereto) claiming exemption from United Kingdom withholding Tax on interest, or (ii)(A) on or before the date it becomes a party hereto, furnish to the Borrower, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I (a “U.K. Tax Compliance Certificate”) certifying that such Lender (1) is a “bank” within the meaning of Section 879 of the Income Tax Act 2007 of the United Kingdom and (2) is within the charge to corporation tax in the United Kingdom with respect to payment hereunder and (B) agree, upon reasonable request by the Borrower, to provide to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, such other forms as may be required by law in order to establish the legal entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from United Kingdom withholding Tax with respect to payments under this Agreement and the Notes issued hereunder, unless, in each case, any change in treaty, law or regulation has occurred after the date such Lender becomes a party hereunder which renders any such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender so advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

     (g) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower Agent with the appropriate form described in Section 2.15(e) (other than if the Borrower Agent has failed to timely request with reasonable notice any appropriate renewal, successor or other form or if any such form otherwise is not required under subsection (e) or (f)), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 2.15(a) or (c) with respect to Indemnifiable Taxes imposed by the United Kingdom or the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Lender become subject to Indemnifiable Taxes or United Kingdom or United States withholding Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrowers shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Indemnifiable Taxes or United Kingdom or United States withholding Taxes.

     (h) If a condition or an event occurs which would, or would upon the passage of time or giving notice, result in the payment of any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15, each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office and the L/C Issuer agrees to use its reasonable efforts to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates if the making of such a change or assignment would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender or the L/C Issuer.

     (i) If the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender, in its sole opinion, determines that it has finally and irrevocably received or been granted a refund in respect of any Indemnifiable Taxes or Other Taxes as to which indemnification has been paid by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.15(a) or (c), it shall promptly remit such refund to the Borrowers, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender; provided,

however, that the Borrowers upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender, agree promptly to return such refund to such party in the event such party is required to repay such refund to the relevant taxing authority. The Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender shall provide the Borrower Agent with a copy of any notice or assessment from the relevant taxing authority (deleting any confidential information contained therein) requiring the repayment of such refund. Nothing contained herein shall impose an obligation on the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender to apply for any refund or to disclose to any party any information regarding their proprietary information regarding tax affairs and computations. If the Borrowers determine in good faith that a reasonable basis exists for contesting any Taxes for which indemnification has been demanded hereunder, the relevant Lender, the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to the extent permitted by law, rule or regulation, shall reasonably cooperate with the Borrowers in challenging such Taxes at the Borrowers’ expense if so requested by the Borrower Agent in writing. If any Indemnifiable Taxes or Other Taxes are imposed that result in an indemnification or payment obligation on any Borrower, such Borrower shall be entitled to challenge or dispute the imposition of such Indemnifiable Taxes or Other Taxes with the applicable taxing authority in an appropriate proceeding diligently conducted, and such Borrower shall be permitted to control such proceeding, including as to settlement.

     (j) If a Lender changes its Applicable Lending Office or the L/C Issuer assigns its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates (other than pursuant to subsection (g) above or Section 2.12 or 2.13) and the effect of such change, as of the date of such change, would be to cause the Borrowers to become obligated to pay any additional amounts under this Section 2.15, the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay such additional amount.

     (k) A certificate of a Lender or the L/C Issuer setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer specified in Section 2.15(a), (b), or (c) above, as the case may be, and identifying with reasonable specificity the basis for calculation of such amount or amounts, shall be delivered to the Borrower Agent and the Administrative Agent and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

     (l) The obligations of a Lender and the L/C Issuer under this Section 2.15 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Advances and all other Obligations hereunder.

     Section 2.16 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Advances owing to it (other than pursuant to Section 2.12, 2.15 or 8.04(c)), or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans held by it, in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Advances obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Advances (and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans) owing to them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount

equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.16 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all of its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment that is in excess of such Lender’s ratable share made by or on behalf of the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including those provisions providing for the application of funds when a Defaulting Lender exists) or (y) the application of Cash Collateral or other credit support (and proceeds thereof) in respect of obligations relating to Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans (including related Lender participation obligations) provided for in 2.18.

     Section 2.17 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Advances shall be available (and the Borrowers agree that they shall use such proceeds) solely (i) for working capital, capital expenditures, and for other lawful purposes (including, without limitation, to provide liquidity support for commercial paper issued by the Borrowers, acquisition financing and repurchases of equity, Existing Debt or other Debt of the Parent and its Subsidiaries to the extent not prohibited by this Agreement), and (ii) to repay in full all amounts outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement.

     Section 2.18 Cash Collateral and Other Credit Support.

     (a) Certain Credit Support Events.

     (i) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer (A) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing, (B) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, or (C) if the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations exceeds the Letter of Credit Sublimit, the Borrowers shall, in the case of clause (A) and (B) above, promptly Cash Collateralize 100% of the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, and in the case of clause (C) above, promptly Cash Collateralize 100% of such excess.

     (ii) At any time (A) a Defaulting Lender exists, (B)(1) the Borrower Agent requests a Letter of Credit or a Swing Line Loan or (2) a Letter of Credit or a Swing Line Loan is outstanding, and (C) the Pro Rata Share Percentages of each non-Defaulting Lender can not fully be adjusted as set forth in Section 8.16(a)(iv), then the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, may, in their sole discretion, require that the Borrowers enter into arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, for the delivery of Cash Collateral to the Administrative Agent in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to Section 8.16(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). With respect to the circumstances described in clause (B)(1) above, such arrangements shall be a condition to the Advance of such

Swing Line Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. With respect to the circumstances described in clause (B)(2) above, such arrangements shall be made no later than five (5) Business Days after written notice to the Borrower Agent from the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender that the circumstances in clause (A) and (C) above exist, unless the Borrowers (x) have replaced such Defaulting Lender prior to such time in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (y) in the case of a Swing Line Loan, have otherwise repaid such Swing Line Loan, or (z) in the case of a Letter of Credit, have otherwise caused such Letter of Credit to be terminated or replaced.

     (b) Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at Bank of America. The Borrowers, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Lender, agree that to the extent any Cash Collateral is provided to the Administrative Agent under any of this Section 2.18 or Sections 2.03, 2.11, 6.02 or 8.16, the Borrowers or such Lender, as applicable, will at such time grant to (and subject to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender), a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral (including all deposit accounts and all balances therein, all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and all proceeds of the foregoing) pursuant to a security agreement and a Cash Collateral account control agreement, in each case, to be mutually agreed and entered into between the Borrowers, or the Defaulting Lender, as the case may be, and the Administrative Agent, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.18(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Borrowers or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

     (c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.18 or Sections 2.03, 2.11, 6.02 or 8.16 in respect of Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

     (d) Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 8.06(b)(vi))) or (ii) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.18 may

be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 6.02), and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations.

     (e) Claims against Defaulting Lenders. No action taken, permitted to be taken or omitted to be taken by the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender or any Lender under this Section 2.18 or any of the other terms or provisions of this Agreement shall constitute or be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender or any other Lender may have against a Defaulting Lender for its failure to comply with any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement.

     Section 2.19 Joint and Several Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable as a primary obligor, and not merely as surety, for any and all Obligations now or hereafter owed by either Borrower to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, whether voluntary or involuntary and however arising, whether direct or acquired by any Lender by assignment or succession, whether due or not due, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined, and whether either Borrower may be liable individually or jointly with others, or whether recovery upon such Obligations may be or hereafter become barred by any statute of limitations, or whether such Obligations may be or hereafter become otherwise unenforceable (such Obligations, the “Borrowers’ Liabilities”). Moreover, for valuable consideration, each Borrower unconditionally guarantees and promises to pay to Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the Lenders, as and when due, in lawful money of the United States, any and all of the Borrowers’ Liabilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of each Borrower individually with respect to its Borrowers’ Liabilities shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law.

     (a) The guaranty of each Borrower hereunder shall be a continuing guaranty relating to any Borrowers’ Liabilities, including those arising under successive transactions which shall either continue Obligations or from time to time renew any Obligations after such Obligations shall have been satisfied. Any payment by either Borrower shall not reduce the Borrowers’ maximum obligation hereunder. The guaranty of each Borrower hereunder is a guaranty of payment and not of collection.

     (b) The Obligations of each Borrower are independent, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against one Borrower whether action is brought against the other Borrower or whether the other Borrower is joined in any such action or actions; and each Borrower waives the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder.

     (c) Each Borrower agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any responsibility to inquire into the apportionment, allocation or disposition of the proceeds of any Credit Extension as between the Borrowers, and acknowledges that its liability hereunder shall not be reduced or diminished by such Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the other Borrower giving or receiving of notices and other communications, making requests

for, or effecting conversions or continuations of, Loans or Letters of Credit, executing and delivering certificates, or receiving or allocating disbursements from the Lenders. Each Borrower acknowledges that the handling of any Advances, Letters of Credit or other Obligations made hereunder or under any other Loan Document on a joint borrowing basis as set forth in this Agreement is solely an accommodation to the Borrowers and is done at their request. Each Borrower agrees that no Lender nor the Administrative Agent nor the L/C Issuer shall incur any liability to such Borrower as a result of such accommodation.

     (d) Each Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that the request for any joint handling of any Advances, Letters of Credit or other Obligations made hereunder or under any other Loan Document was made because the Borrowers are engaged in related operations and are interdependent. Each Borrower expects to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from the availability of each Advance, Letter of Credit or other Obligation because the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent on the continued successful performance of the functions of the Borrowers as a group.

     (e) Each Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that (i) it has established adequate means of obtaining from the other Borrower on a continuing basis financial and other information pertaining to the business, operations and condition (financial and otherwise) of the other Borrower and its respective property, and (ii) it now is and hereafter will be completely familiar with the business, operations and condition (financial and otherwise) of the other Borrower, and its property. Each Borrower hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of the Administrative Agent to disclose to such Borrower any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of the other Borrower, or the property of the other Borrower, whether now or hereafter known by the Administrative Agent or any Lender during the term of this Agreement.

     (f) Each Borrower expressly waives any right to require the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to marshal assets in favor of either Borrower or any other Person or to proceed against the other Borrower or any other Person or any collateral provided by the other Borrower or any other Person, and agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may proceed against either Borrower and/or collateral in such order as they shall determine in their sole and absolute discretion. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may file a separate action or actions against either Borrower, whether action is brought or prosecuted with respect to any other security or against any other Person, or whether any other Person is joined in any such action or actions. Each Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and the other Borrower may deal with each other in connection with the Obligations, the Borrowers’ Liabilities or otherwise, or alter any contracts or agreements now or hereafter existing between any of them, in any manner whatsoever, all without in any way altering or affecting the obligations of such Borrower under the Loan Documents.

     (g) Each Borrower expressly waives any and all defenses now or hereafter arising or asserted by reason of (i) any disability or other defense of the other Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person with respect to any Obligations, (ii) the unenforceability or invalidity as to the other Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person of the Obligations, (iii) the unenforceability or invalidity of any security or guaranty for the Obligations or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of priority of any security for the Obligations, (iv) the cessation

for any cause whatsoever of the liability of either Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person (other than by reason of the full payment and performance of all Obligations), (v) to the extent permitted by law, any failure of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to give notice of sale or other disposition to either Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any sale or disposition, (vi) to the extent permitted by law, any failure of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to comply with applicable laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any collateral or other security for any Obligation, including without limitation any failure of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to conduct a commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of any collateral or other security for any obligation, (vii) any act or omission of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, that directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge or release of either Borrower or any Guarantor or the Obligations or any other security or guaranty therefor by operation of law or otherwise, (viii) any law which provides that the obligation of a surety or guarantor must neither be larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal or which reduces a surety’s or guarantor’s obligation in proportion to the principal obligation, (ix) any failure of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to file or enforce a claim in any bankruptcy or other proceeding with respect to the other Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person, (x) the election by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in any bankruptcy proceeding of the other Borrower or any Guarantor, of the application or non-application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, (xi) any extension of credit or the grant of any Lien under Section 364 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in connection with the bankruptcy of the other Borrower or any Guarantor, (xii) any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, or (xiii) any agreement or stipulation with the other Borrower or any Guarantor with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person.

     (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere contained herein or in any other Loan Document to which either Borrower is a party, each Borrower hereby waives, so long as any Lender shall have any Commitment hereunder, any Advance or other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit or other L/C Obligation shall remain outstanding, with respect to the other Borrower and its successors and assigns (including any surety) and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, to reimbursement, to exoneration, to contribution, to setoff or to any other rights that could accrue to a surety against a principal, to a guarantor against a maker, to an accommodation party against the party accommodated, or to a holder or transferee against a maker and which either Borrower may have or hereafter acquire against the other Borrower or any other Person in connection with or as a result of the execution, delivery and/or performance of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Each Borrower agrees that, so long as any Lender shall have any Commitment hereunder, any Advance or other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit or other L/C Obligation shall remain outstanding, it shall not have or assert any such rights against the other Borrower or its successors and assigns or any other party (including any surety), either directly or as an attempted setoff to any action commenced against either Borrower by the other Borrower (as borrower or in any other capacity) or any other party. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is intended to benefit the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and shall not limit or otherwise affect Borrowers’ liability hereunder, under any other Loan Document to which either Borrower is a party, or the enforceability hereof or thereof.

     (i) Any obligations of either Borrower or any Guarantor to the other Borrower, now or hereafter existing, including but not limited to any obligations to a Borrower or a Guarantor as subrogee of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or resulting from a Borrower’s performance under this guaranty, are hereby subordinated to the Borrowers’ Liabilities. Such obligations of a Borrower or a Guarantor to the other Borrower, if the Administrative Agent so requests, shall be enforced, and performance received by such Borrower or such Guarantor as trustee for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders on account of the Obligations of the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of either Borrower under the other provisions of the guaranty contained herein.

     (j) Each Borrower irrevocably appoints IVZ (the “Borrower Agent”) as its agent for all purposes relevant to this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, including (i) the giving and receipt of all notices (including any Notice of Borrowing) and any Issuer Document, (ii) the execution and delivery of all documents, instruments and certificates contemplated herein and all modifications hereto, (iii) the receipt of the proceeds of any Advances made by the Lenders to either Borrower hereunder, and (iv) for receiving service of process. Any acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification or other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given or taken by all Borrowers, or by either or each Borrower acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given or taken only by the Borrower Agent, whether or not either Borrower joins therein. Any notice, demand, consent, acknowledgement, direction, certification or other communication received from the Borrower Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be deemed to have been received from each Borrower (to the extent delivery by such Borrower is required by or appropriate under the terms of this Agreement). Any notice, demand, consent, acknowledgement, direction, certification or other communication required to be delivered by any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer to either Borrower, or the Borrowers collectively, shall be deemed to have been so delivered if delivered to the Borrower Agent, and any proceeds of any Advances made by the Lenders to be made available to either Borrower shall be deemed to have been made available to such Borrower if made available to the Borrower Agent.

     (k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent this Agreement requires payment of an amount by “each Borrower”, “the Borrowers” or “a Borrower”, such payment shall be made by the Borrowers, jointly and severally, without duplication.

COVENANTS OF THE BORROWER

     Section 5.01 Affirmative Covenants.

ARTICLE VII

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

     Section 7.01 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, and neither the Borrowers, the Parent nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

     Section 7.02 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Parent, the Borrowers or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

     Section 7.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

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

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

     (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Parent, the Borrowers or any of their respective Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person 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 or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 6.01 and 8.01) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, provided, such limitation of liability of the Administrative Agent shall not prohibit or limit any cause of action either Borrower may otherwise have against any Lender. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers, a Lender or the L/C Issuer.

     The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set

forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

     Section 7.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and reasonably believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of an Advance, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Advance or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Parent or 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 good faith in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

     Section 7.05 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

     Section 7.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Borrowers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from

its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section; provided, such Lenders so acting directly shall be and be deemed to be protected by all indemnities and other provisions herein for the benefit and protection of the Administrative Agent as if each such Lender were itself the Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 8.04 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 the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

     Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall also constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender; (b) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all of its respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents; and (c) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

     Section 7.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

     Section 7.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Arrangers listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent, a Lender or the L/C Issuer.

     Section 7.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Advance or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise

     (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Advances, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel, and all other amounts, due the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03(h) and (i), 2.05 and 8.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

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

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.05 and 8.04.

     Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting any amount owing by a Loan Party to a Lender or the Administrative Agent or the rights of any Lender or the L/C Issuer or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or the L/C Issuer in any such proceeding.

     Section 7.10 Guaranty Matters. The Lenders and the L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Borrowers or a Subsidiary of the Parent as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder.

     Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders shall promptly confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty pursuant to this Section 7.10.

     (d) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that either Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the L/C Issuer or any Related Party thereof, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share

(determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought and without regard to the last sentence in the definition of Pro Rata Share Percentage) 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 (or any such sub-agent) or the L/C Issuer in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party thereof acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (d) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.02(e).

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender, the L/C Issuer and each of their respective 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 indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender, the L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of a Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrowers now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or the L/C Issuer or the Note held by such Lender, whether or not such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or such Note and although such obligations may be unmatured; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.16 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting

Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers after any such set-off and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of each Lender, the L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that such Lender, the L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates may have.

     Section 8.06 Successors and Assigns.

     (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and each Lender (except by operation of law or to the extent permitted hereunder) and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, and (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

     (b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Advances (including for purposes of this subsection (b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

     (i) Minimum Amounts. (A) In the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Advances and the L/C Advances at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; (B) and in any case not described in subsection b(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Advances outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Advances of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $10,000,000 and increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from

members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met;

     (ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Advances and the L/C Advances or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to rights of the Swing Line Lender in respect of Swing Line Loans;

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

     (A) the consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrowers shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof;

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

     (C) the consent of the L/C Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding); and

     (D) the consent of the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment.

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

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

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

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement with respect to the interest assigned and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement in addition to any rights and obligations it may theretofore have as a Lender, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.15, and 8.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrowers (at their expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 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 subsection (d) of this Section.

     (c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Advances and L/C Advances owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender

of which it has received notice. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and the Lenders at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

     (d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender, the Parent, the Borrowers or any of the Parent’s or the Borrowers’ respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Advances (including such Lender’s participations L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the 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, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 8.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.12, 2.15 and 8.04 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.05 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.16 as though it were a Lender.

     (e) Limitation upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12 or 2.15 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrowers’ prior written consent. A Participant that would be a foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.15 unless the Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.15 as though it were a Lender.

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

     (g) Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of

a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

     (h) Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its Commitment and Advances pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank of America may, (i) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrowers and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ notice to the Borrowers and the Lenders, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation, the Borrowers shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the Borrowers to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If Bank of America resigns as L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Advances or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Advances or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). Upon the appointment of a successor and acceptance of such appointment by the successor L/C Issuer and/or Swing Line Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be, and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such Letters of Credit.

Each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction or any credit insurance provider, in each case, relating to either Borrower and its obligations, (g)

Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Borrowing, any Advance or any L/C Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Advance or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit or L/C Obligation shall remain outstanding.

(i) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.12, (ii) if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any governmental authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, (iii) if any Lender is, or within fifteen (15) Business Days of such assignment or delegation was, a Defaulting Lender, (iv) if any Lender is unable to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances pursuant to Section 2.13, or (v) if any Lender shall fail to provide any consent, or consent to any waiver or amendment, agreed to by the Required Lenders then the Borrowers may, at its sole expense and effort, upon written notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 8.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

     (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes, 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 any such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by

If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or under the Notes in another currency into Dollars, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, the Administrative Agent could purchase such other currency with Dollars in New York City, New York, at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given, together with any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with such purchase.

     (b) Indemnity. The obligation of the Borrowers in respect of any sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any Note shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than Dollars, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day next succeeding receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase Dollars with such other currency. If the Dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in Dollars, the Borrowers agree, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender against such loss, and if the Dollars so purchased exceed the sum originally due to any the Administrative Agent or any

Lender in Dollars, the Administrative Agent or such Lender agrees to remit to the Borrowers such excess.

L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Act.

     (a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender as provided in Section 8.16(b), to the extent permitted by applicable law:

may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, to be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Advance or L/C Advance in respect of which that 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 Borrowers, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Advances under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advances or L/C Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Advances or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 8.16(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

In the event that any such Defaulting Lender’s participation obligation has not been reallocated to other Lenders or Cash Collateralized in accordance with the terms hereof, the Borrowers shall (x) be required to pay to each of the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, the amount of such fee allocable to its Fronting Exposure arising from that Defaulting Lender and (y) not be required to pay the remaining amount of such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender.

     (iv) Reallocation of Pro Rata Share Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans pursuant to Sections 2.03 and 2.04, the “Pro Rata Share Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided, that, (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (1) the Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Advances and L/C Advances of that Lender.

     (b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and the L/C Issuer agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be 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 that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Share Percentage (without giving effect to Section 8.16(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers 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.

The Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender will promptly notify the Borrowers at the time the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender determines or is otherwise informed of the existence of a Defaulting Lender.

     Section 8.17 No Advisory or Fiduciary Relationship. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each of the Parent, the Borrowers and each other Loan Party acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arrangers are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Parent, the Borrowers, each other Loan Party and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arrangers, on the other hand, (B) each of the Parent, the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) each of the Parent, the Borrowers and each other Loan Party is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and

each Arranger is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender or Arranger has any obligation to the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Arranger and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Parent, the Borrowers, the other Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender or Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Parent, the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Parent, each Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any Arranger with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

     Section 8.18 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrowers. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

     Section 8.19 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.19, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by the bankruptcy code of the United States or any comparable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization or other debtor relief laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

Schedule 1.01

SCHEDULE 1.02

MANDATORY COST FORMULA

1.

The Mandatory Cost (to the extent applicable) is an addition to the interest rate to compensate Lenders for the cost of compliance with:

	(a)		the requirements of the Bank of England and/or the Financial Services Authority (or, in either case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions); or
	(b)		the requirements of the European Central Bank.

2.		On the first day of each Interest Period (or as soon as practicable thereafter) the Administrative Agent shall calculate, as a percentage rate, a rate (the “Additional Cost Rate”) for each Lender, in accordance with the paragraphs set out below. The Mandatory Cost will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as a weighted average of the Lenders’ Additional Cost Rates (weighted in proportion to the percentage participation of each Lender in the relevant Loan) and will be expressed as a percentage rate per annum. The Administrative Agent will, at the request of the Borrowers or any Lender, deliver to the Borrowers or such Lender as the case may be, a statement setting forth the calculation of any Mandatory Cost.
3.		The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Eurocurrency Lending Office in a Participating Member State will be the percentage notified by that Lender to the Administrative Agent. This percentage will be certified by such Lender in its notice to the Administrative Agent as the cost (expressed as a percentage of such Lender’s participation in all Advances made from such Eurocurrency Lending Office) of complying with the minimum reserve requirements of the European Central Bank in respect of Advances made from that Eurocurrency Lending Office.
4.		The Additional Cost Rate for any Lender lending from a Eurocurrency Lending Office in the United Kingdom will be calculated by the Administrative Agent as follows:

(a)

in relation to any Advance in Sterling:

AB+C(B-D)+E x 0.01		per cent per annum
100 - - (A+C)

(b)

in relation to any Advance in any currency other than Sterling:

E x 0.01		per cent per annum
300

Schedule 1.02

Where:

	“A”		is the percentage of Eligible Liabilities (assuming these to be in excess of any stated minimum) which that Lender is from time to time required to maintain as an interest free cash ratio deposit with the Bank of England to comply with cash ratio requirements.
	“B”		is the percentage rate of interest (excluding the Applicable Margin, the Mandatory Cost and any interest charged on overdue amounts pursuant to Section 2.07(b) and, in the case of interest (other than on overdue amounts) charged at the Default Rate, without counting any increase in interest rate effected by the charging of the Default Rate) payable for the relevant Interest Period of such Advance.
	“C”		is the percentage (if any) of Eligible Liabilities which that Lender is required from time to time to maintain as interest bearing Special Deposits with the Bank of England.
	“D”		is the percentage rate per annum payable by the Bank of England to the Administrative Agent on interest bearing Special Deposits.
	“E”		is designed to compensate Lenders for amounts payable under the Fees Regulations and is calculated by the Administrative Agent as being the average of the most recent rates of charge supplied by the Lenders to the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph 7 below and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000.

5.

For the purposes of this Schedule:

	(a)		“Eligible Liabilities” and “Special Deposits” have the meanings given to them from time to time under or pursuant to the Bank of England Act 1998 or (as may be appropriate) by the Bank of England;
	(b)		“Fees Regulations” means the FSA Supervision Manual or such other law or regulation as may be in force from time to time in respect of the payment of fees for the acceptance of deposits;
	(c)		“Fee Tariffs” means the fee tariffs specified in the Fees Regulations under the activity group A.1 Deposit acceptors (ignoring any minimum fee or zero rated fee required pursuant to the Fees Regulations but taking into account any applicable discount rate);
	(d)		“EMU Legislation” means the legislative measures of the European Council for the introduction of, changeover to or operation of a single or unified European currency.
	(e)		“Participating Member State” means each state so described in any EMU Legislation.

Schedule 1.02

(f)

“Tariff Base” has the meaning given to it in, and will be calculated in accordance with, the Fees Regulations.

6.		In application of the above formulae, A, B, C and D will be included in the formulae as percentages (i.e. 5% will be included in the formula as 5 and not as 0.05). A negative result obtained by subtracting D from B shall be taken as zero. The resulting figures shall be rounded to four decimal places.
7.		If requested by the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers, each Lender with a Eurocurrency Lending Office in the United Kingdom or a Participating Member State shall, as soon as practicable after publication by the Financial Services Authority, supply to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, the rate of charge payable by such Lender to the Financial Services Authority pursuant to the Fees Regulations in respect of the relevant financial year of the Financial Services Authority (calculated for this purpose by such Lender as being the average of the Fee Tariffs applicable to such Lender for that financial year) and expressed in pounds per £1,000,000 of the Tariff Base of such Lender.
8.		Each Lender shall supply any information required by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of calculating its Additional Cost Rate. In particular, but without limitation, each Lender shall supply the following information in writing on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Lender:

	(a)		its jurisdiction of incorporation and the jurisdiction of the Eurocurrency Lending Office out of which it is making available its participation in the relevant Advance; and
	(b)		any other information that the Administrative Agent may reasonably require for such purpose.

Each Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any change to the information provided by it pursuant to this paragraph.

9.		The percentages or rates of charge of each Lender for the purpose of A, C and E above shall be determined by the Administrative Agent based upon the information supplied to it pursuant to paragraphs 7 and 8 above and on the assumption that, unless a Lender notifies the Administrative Agent to the contrary, each Lender’s obligations in relation to cash ratio deposits, Special Deposits and the Fees Regulations are the same as those of a typical bank from its jurisdiction of incorporation with a Eurocurrency Lending Office in the same jurisdiction as such Lender’s Eurocurrency Lending Office.
10.		The Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any Person if such determination results in an Additional Cost Rate which over- or under-compensates any Lender and shall be entitled to assume that the information provided by any Lender pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above is true and correct in all respects.

Schedule 1.02

11.		The Administrative Agent shall distribute the additional amounts received as a result of the Mandatory Cost to the Lenders on the basis of the Additional Cost Rate for each Lender based on the information provided by each Lender pursuant to paragraphs 3, 7 and 8 above.
12.		Any determination by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Schedule in relation to a formula, the Mandatory Cost, an Additional Cost Rate or any amount payable to a Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.
13.		The Administrative Agent may from time to time, after consultation with the Borrowers and the Lenders, determine and notify to all parties any amendments which are required to be made to this Schedule in order to comply with any change in law, regulation or any requirements from time to time imposed by the Bank of England, the Financial Services Authority or the European Central Bank (or, in any case, any other authority which replaces all or any of its functions) and any such determination shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all parties hereto.

EXECUTION VERSION

GUARANTY

     This GUARANTY dated May 24, 2010 made by INVESCO ADVISERS, INC., a Delaware corporation, INVESCO NORTH AMERICAN HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation, and INVESCO MANAGEMENT GROUP INC., a Delaware corporation (each, individually, a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”), in favor of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and each of the Lenders (as each such term is defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below).

     PRELIMINARY STATEMENT. The Lenders and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender are parties to a Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof (said Agreement, as it may hereafter be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, being the “Credit Agreement”, the terms defined therein are used herein as therein defined) with Invesco Holding Company Limited, a company organized under the laws of England and Wales (“IHCL”), IVZ, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“IVZ”, and together with IHCL, collectively, the “Borrowers” and each individually, a “Borrower”) and Invesco Ltd. (the “Parent”). The Guarantors may receive a portion of the proceeds of the Advances under the Credit Agreement and will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement. It is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Credit Agreement and the making of Advances by the Lenders thereunder that the Guarantors shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce the Lenders to make Advances under the Credit Agreement from time to time, each Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

     Section 1. Guaranty; Limitation of Liability. (a) Each Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of each other Loan Party now or hereafter existing under the Loan Documents, whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses or otherwise (such obligations, including, without limitation, the obligations of the Borrowers under Section 2.15 of the Credit Agreement, being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by a Loan Party to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender under the Loan Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving such Loan Party.

     (b) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be joint and several and unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of any Loan Document, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against either Borrower, any action to enforce the same, or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor (other than a defense of payment in full or complete performance). Each

Guarantor hereby waives the benefit of diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of either Borrower, any right to require a proceeding first against such Borrower, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Guaranty shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Credit Agreement, the Notes and this Guaranty. This Guaranty is a guarantee of payment and not of collection.

     (c) Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Guaranty, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and each Lender, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Guaranty and the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of bankruptcy law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty and the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, the Lenders and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

     Section 2. Waiver of Subrogation. Until the Credit Agreement is terminated and all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to exercise any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against either Borrower that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Borrower’s obligations under the Credit Agreement and each Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty, in any such instance including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Lenders against either Borrower, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from either Borrower, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to a Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Lenders and shall forwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations in favor of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Loan Documents and that the waiver set forth in this Section 2 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

     Section 3. No Set-Off. Each payment to be made by a Guarantor hereunder in respect of its obligations shall be payable in the currency or currencies in which such obligations are denominated, and shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature.

     Section 4. Obligations Absolute; Obligations Not Affected. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be continuing and shall remain in full force and effect until all the

Guaranteed Obligations have been paid and satisfied in full. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected, impaired or diminished in any way by any act, omission, matter or thing whatsoever, occurring before, upon or after any demand for payment hereunder (and whether or not known or consented to by the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any of the Lenders) which, but for this provision, might constitute a whole or partial defense to a claim against any Guarantor hereunder or might operate to release or otherwise exonerate any Guarantor from any of its obligations hereunder or otherwise affect such obligations, whether occasioned by default of any of the Lenders or otherwise, including, without limitation:

     (a) any limitation of status or power, disability, incapacity or other circumstance relating to either Borrower or any other Person, including any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition, dissolution, winding-up or other proceeding involving or affecting either Borrower or any other Person;

     (b) any irregularity, defect, unenforceability or invalidity in respect of any indebtedness or other obligation of either Borrower or any other Person under the Loan Documents;

     (c) any failure of either Borrower, the Parent or any other Guarantor, whether or not without fault on its part, to perform or comply with any of the provisions of any Loan Document to which it is a party, or to give notice thereof to the Guarantors;

     (d) the taking or enforcing or exercising or the refusal or neglect to take or enforce or exercise any right or remedy from or against either Borrower or any other Person or their respective assets or the release or discharge of any such right or remedy;

     (e) the granting of time, renewals, extensions, compromises, concessions, waivers, releases, discharges and other indulgences to either Borrower or any other Person;

     (f) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment, variation, supplement, replacement or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, any of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any increase or decrease in the principal amount of or interest on Advances with respect to any of the Loan Documents;

     (g) any change in the ownership, control, name, objects, businesses, assets, capital structure or constitution of either Borrower, the Parent, such Guarantor, any other Guarantor or any other Person;

     (h) the occurrence of any change in the laws, rules, regulations or ordinances of any jurisdiction by any present or future action of any governmental authority or court amending, varying, reducing or otherwise affecting, or purporting to amend, vary, reduce or otherwise affect, any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the obligations of the Guarantors under this Guaranty or the obligations of the Parent under the Parent Guaranty; and

     (i) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of either Borrower or the Parent under the Loan Documents to which it is a party or of the Guarantors in respect of this Guaranty (other than a defense of payment in full or complete performance).

     Section 5. Waiver. Without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 1 hereof, each Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof, notice of any liability of such Guarantor hereunder, notice or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Lenders upon the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder, and diligence, presentment, demand for payment on either Borrower, protest, notice of dishonor or non-payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or other notice or formalities to either Borrower, the Parent or any Guarantor of any kind whatsoever.

     Section 6. No Obligation To Take Action Against the Borrowers. None of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any of the Lenders shall have any obligation to enforce or exhaust any rights or remedies or to take any other steps under any security for the Guaranteed Obligations or against either Borrower or any other Person or any property of either Borrower or any other Person before the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Lenders are entitled to demand payment and performance by the Guarantors of their liabilities and obligations under this Guaranty.

     Section 7. Dealing with the Borrowers and Others. The Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Lenders, without releasing, discharging, limiting or otherwise affecting in whole or in part the obligations and liabilities of each Guarantor hereunder and without the consent of or notice to any Guarantor, may:

     (a) grant time, renewals, extensions, compromises, concessions, waivers, releases, discharges and other indulgences to either Borrower or any other Person;

     (b) take or abstain from taking security or collateral from either Borrower or from perfecting security or collateral of either Borrower;

     (c) release, discharge, compromise, realize, enforce or otherwise deal with or do any act or thing in respect of (with or without consideration) any and all collateral, mortgages or other security given by either Borrower, the Parent, or any third party with respect to the obligations or matters contemplated by the Loan Documents;

     (d) accept compromises or arrangements from either Borrower or the Parent;

     (e) apply all monies at any time received from either Borrower or the Parent or from any security upon such part of the obligations as the Lenders may see fit or change any such application in whole or in part from time to time as the Lenders may see fit; and

     (f) otherwise deal with, or waive or modify their right to deal with, either Borrower and all other Persons and any security as the Lenders or the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer may see fit.

     Section 8. Governing Law, Waiver of Jury Trial.

EXECUTION VERSION

GUARANTY

     This GUARANTY dated May 24, 2010 made by INVESCO LTD., a company organized under the laws of Bermuda (the “Guarantor”), in favor of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and each of the Lenders (as each such term is defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below).

     PRELIMINARY STATEMENT. The Lenders and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender are parties to a Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof (said Agreement, as it may hereafter be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, being the “Credit Agreement”, the terms defined therein are used herein as therein defined) with Guarantor, Invesco Holding Company Limited, a company organized under the laws of England and Wales (“IHCL”) and IVZ, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with IHCL, collectively, the “Borrowers” and each individually, a “Borrower”). The Guarantor may receive a portion of the proceeds of the Advances under the Credit Agreement and will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement. It is a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Credit Agreement and the making of Advances by the Lenders thereunder that the Guarantor shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and in order to induce the Lenders to make Advances under the Credit Agreement from time to time, the Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

     Section 1. Guaranty; Limitation of Liability. (a) The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of each other Loan Party now or hereafter existing under the Loan Documents, whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses or otherwise (such obligations, including, without limitation, the obligations of the Borrowers under Section 2.15 of the Credit Agreement, being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by a Loan Party to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender under the Loan Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving such Loan Party.

     (b) The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of any Loan Document, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against either Borrower, any action to enforce the same, or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Guarantor (other than a defense of payment in full or complete performance). The Guarantor hereby waives the benefit of diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of either Borrower, any right to require a proceeding first

against such Borrower, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Guaranty shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Credit Agreement, the Notes and this Guaranty. This Guaranty is a guarantee of payment and not of collection.

     (c) The Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Guaranty, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and each Lender, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Guaranty and the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of bankruptcy law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty and the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, the Lenders and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

     Section 2. Waiver of Subrogation. Until the Credit Agreement is terminated and all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full, the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to exercise any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against either Borrower that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Borrower’s obligations under the Credit Agreement and the Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty, in any such instance including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Lenders against either Borrower, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from either Borrower, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed to have been paid to the Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Lenders and shall forwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations in favor of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents. The Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Loan Documents and that the waiver set forth in this Section 2 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

     Section 3. No Set-Off. Each payment to be made by the Guarantor hereunder in respect of its obligations shall be payable in the currency or currencies in which such obligations are denominated, and shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature.

     Section 4. Obligations Absolute; Obligations Not Affected. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be continuing and shall remain in full force and effect until all the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid and satisfied in full. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected, impaired or diminished in any way by any act, omission, matter

or thing whatsoever, occurring before, upon or after any demand for payment hereunder (and whether or not known or consented to by the Guarantor, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any of the Lenders) which, but for this provision, might constitute a whole or partial defense to a claim against the Guarantor hereunder or might operate to release or otherwise exonerate the Guarantor from any of its obligations hereunder or otherwise affect such obligations, whether occasioned by default of any of the Lenders or otherwise, including, without limitation:

     (a) any limitation of status or power, disability, incapacity or other circumstance relating to either Borrower or any other Person, including any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition, dissolution, winding-up or other proceeding involving or affecting either Borrower or any other Person;

     (b) any irregularity, defect, unenforceability or invalidity in respect of any indebtedness or other obligation of either Borrower or any other Person under the Loan Documents;

     (c) any failure of either Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor, whether or not without fault on its part, to perform or comply with any of the provisions of any Loan Document to which it is a party, or to give notice thereof to the Guarantor;

     (d) the taking or enforcing or exercising or the refusal or neglect to take or enforce or exercise any right or remedy from or against either Borrower or any other Person or their respective assets or the release or discharge of any such right or remedy;

     (e) the granting of time, renewals, extensions, compromises, concessions, waivers, releases, discharges and other indulgences to either Borrower or any other Person;

     (f) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment, variation, supplement, replacement or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, any of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any increase or decrease in the principal amount of or interest on Advances with respect to any of the Loan Documents;

     (g) any change in the ownership, control, name, objects, businesses, assets, capital structure or constitution of either Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Guarantor or any other Person;

     (h) the occurrence of any change in the laws, rules, regulations or ordinances of any jurisdiction by any present or future action of any governmental authority or court amending, varying, reducing or otherwise affecting, or purporting to amend, vary, reduce or otherwise affect, any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty or the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guaranty; and

     (i) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of either Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Loan Documents

to which it is a party or of the Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (other than a defense of payment in full or complete performance).

     Section 5. Waiver. Without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 1 hereof, the Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof, notice of any liability of the Guarantor hereunder, notice or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Lenders upon the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder, and diligence, presentment, demand for payment on either Borrower, protest, notice of dishonor or non-payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or other notice or formalities to either Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or the Guarantor of any kind whatsoever.

     Section 6. No Obligation To Take Action Against the Borrowers. None of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any of the Lenders shall have any obligation to enforce or exhaust any rights or remedies or to take any other steps under any security for the Guaranteed Obligations or against either Borrower or any other Person or any property of either Borrower or any other Person before the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Lenders are entitled to demand payment and performance by the Guarantor of its liabilities and obligations under this Guaranty.

     Section 7. Dealing with the Borrowers and Others. The Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Lenders, without releasing, discharging, limiting or otherwise affecting in whole or in part the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantor hereunder and without the consent of or notice to the Guarantor, may:

     (a) grant time, renewals, extensions, compromises, concessions, waivers, releases, discharges and other indulgences to either Borrower or any other Person;

     (b) take or abstain from taking security or collateral from either Borrower or from perfecting security or collateral of either Borrower;

     (d) accept compromises or arrangements from either Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor;

     (e) apply all monies at any time received from either Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or from any security upon such part of the obligations as the Lenders may see fit or change any such application in whole or in part from time to time as the Lenders may see fit; and

     (f) otherwise deal with, or waive or modify their right to deal with, either Borrower and all other Persons and any security as the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the L/C Issuer may see fit.

The Guarantor 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 Guaranty shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Guaranty in the courts of any jurisdiction.

     (e) The Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty in any New York State or federal court.

respect to the Transactions and the Transaction Documents, there has been no mutual mistake of fact and there exists no fraud or duress.

     We have relied, with your permission, upon the representations and warranties contained in the Credit Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to the extent the same relate to matters of fact relevant to the opinions expressed herein and upon certificates of public officials and certain officers of each of the Borrowers, the Parent and the Subsidiary Guarantors with respect to the factual matters contained therein.

     In addition we have assumed, with your permission, the following matters (as to which we understand you are relying solely upon the opinions of Linklaters, U.K. counsel to IHCL and APPLEBY, Bermuda counsel to the Parent):

(a) IHCL is a limited company formed and existing under the laws of England.

(b) The Parent is an exempted company incorporated with limited liability and existing under the laws of Bermuda.

(d) The execution, delivery and performance by each of IHCL and the Parent of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action of each of IHCL and the Parent.

(e) Each of IHCL and the Parent has duly executed and delivered each Transaction Document to which it is a party.

     Based upon the foregoing and subject to the assumptions, exceptions and qualifications set forth herein and Annex I hereto, we are of the opinion that:

Each of IVZ and each Subsidiary Guarantor has duly executed and delivered each Transaction Document to which it is a party.

     4. The Credit Agreement constitutes, and after giving effect to the initial Borrowing, each Note will constitute, a valid and legally binding obligation of the Borrowers, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforcement thereof may be limited by the limitations set forth on Annex I hereto.

     5. Each of the Credit Agreement and the Parent Guaranty constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Parent, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that enforcement thereof may be limited by the limitations set forth in Annex I hereto.

     6. The Subsidiary Guaranty constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of each of the Subsidiary Guarantors, except to the extent that enforcement thereof may be limited by the limitations set forth in Annex I hereto.

     8. The execution and delivery by each of IVZ and each Subsidiary Guarantor of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party do not and if each of IVZ and each Subsidiary Guarantor were to perform its obligations under the such Transaction Documents such performance would not (a) violate the Organizational Documents of IVZ or any Subsidiary Guarantor; or (b) violate any existing constitutional provision, statute, or regulation of the States of New York or Delaware or the United States of America.

     9. The execution and delivery by the Parent and the performance of its obligations under the Credit Agreement and the Parent Guaranty will not constitute a violation of any existing constitutional provision, statute, or regulation of the State of New York or the United States of America.

     10. The execution and delivery by IHCL and the performance of its obligations under the Credit Agreement will not constitute a violation of any existing constitutional provision, statute, or regulation of the State of New York or the United States of America.
