Line Lender of any such notice received from the Borrower.  The Swing Line Lender shall make each Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower by means of a credit to the general deposit account of the Borrower with the Swing Line Lender as promptly as practicable after the receipt of such notice on the requested date of such Swing Line Loan (and in any event not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time) if the Swing Line Lender receives such notice by 2:00 p.m. (New York time)).

(c)           Payments of Swing Line Loans.  The Borrower will repay each Swing Line Loan on the fifth Business Day after the date of such Loan, together with interest accrued thereon from the date of such Loan until paid in full at the rates provided in Section 3.02(a)(i) (or if applicable, Section 3.02(b)), such interest to be payable on the same dates on which interest would be payable under Section 3.02(a)(i) (or if applicable, Section 3.02(b)).

(d)           Participations by Lenders in Swing Line Loans.

(i)  The Swing Line Lender may, by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on any Business Day, require the Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swing Line Loans outstanding.  Such notice to the Administrative Agent shall specify the aggregate amount of Swing Line Loans in which the Lenders will participate.  Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Lender, specifying in such notice the amount of such Lender’s pro rata share of such Swing Line Loan or Loans.  Each Lender agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above in this paragraph, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for account of the Swing Line Lender, such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such Swing Line Loan or Loans.

(ii)           Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this clause (d) is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by (A) any setoff or counterclaim which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Bank, the Borrower or any other Person, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments or any of them or (C) any other circumstance whatsoever.

(iii)          Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 3.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 3.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swing Line Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders.

(iv)          The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swing Line Loan acquired pursuant to this clause (d), and thereafter payments in respect of such Swing Line Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swing Line Lender.  Any amounts received by the Swing Line Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swing Line Loan after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swing Line Lender, as their interests may appear (and if all or any portion of any such amount

26

received by the Administrative Agent is recovered or must be restored, the corresponding payments to the Lenders shall be rescinded and the amount thereof restored, without interest).  The purchase of participations in a Swing Line Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

SECTION 2.04.  Fees.

(a)  Agency Fee.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the Administrative Agent’s own account, an administrative agency fee at the times and in the amounts set forth in the Fee Letter.

(b)  Commitment Fee.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee on the daily average unutilized amount of such Lender’s Commitment, for each day during the period from the date hereof until the Commitment Termination Date, at a rate of 0.20% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year, on the Commitment Termination Date and on the date of termination of the Commitments;  provided, that solely for purposes of this Section 2.04(b) the making of a Swing Line Loan shall not be deemed to constitute a utilization of the Commitments.

(c)  Letter of Credit Fees.

(i)  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the pro rata account of the Lenders based on their respective Commitment Percentages, a commission on the average daily undrawn amount of each outstanding Letter of Credit at a rate equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect for Eurocurrency Loans of the relevant Tranche (minus the amount of the fronting fee referred to below), payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the Commitment Termination Date, commencing on the first such date after the date hereof.

(ii)  The Borrower agrees to pay to each Issuing Lender, for the sole account of such Issuing Lender, (x) a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender, payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and on the Commitment Termination Date, in an amount equal to 0.125% per annum of the average daily available amount of such Letter of Credit and (y) such customary fees and charges in connection with the issuance or administration of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender as may be agreed in writing between the Borrower and such Issuing Lender from time to time.  The Issuing Lender will notify the Borrower of any and all such fees and charges payable under this Section.

SECTION 2.05.  Changes of Commitments.

(a)   Commitment Termination Date.  The Commitment of each Lender shall be automatically reduced to zero on the Commitment Termination Date.

27

(b)   Commitment Termination or Reduction.  The Borrower shall have the right, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate in whole or reduce ratably in part the unused portions of the Commitments of either or both of the Tranches, provided, that each partial reduction shall be in a minimum aggregate amount, as to each Tranche, of $5,000,000.  Once terminated or reduced, the Commitments may not be reinstated.

(c)   Commitment Increase.  The Borrower may, by giving at least 15 Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, propose that the Aggregate Facility Amount be increased (each such proposed increase being a “Commitment Increase”), through an increase of the Commitment of one or more existing Lenders (each an “Increasing Lender”) and/or the addition of one or more Persons (who must be Eligible Assignees) as assuming Lenders (each an “Assuming Lender”), as the Borrower may determine, all effective as of a date (the “Commitment Increase Date”) that shall be specified in such notice and that shall be prior to the Commitment Termination Date; provided the following limitations shall apply:

(A) the Borrower may not propose more than two Commitment Increases during any calendar quarter,

(B) the proposed Commitment Increase in respect of the Commitment of any Increasing Lender or any Assuming Lender shall for each Commitment Increase Date be no less than $100,000,000,

(C)  the Aggregate Facility Amount may not in any event at any time exceed $2,000,000,000,

(D)  no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the relevant Commitment Increase Date or shall result from the proposed Commitment Increase, and

(E)  the representations and warranties in Article V shall be true in all material respects on and as of the Commitment Increase Date as if made on and as of such date.

The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of a proposed Commitment Increase promptly upon its receipt of notice from the Borrower with respect thereto.  Each Lender will consider in good faith any such proposed Commitment Increase, provided that it shall be in each Lender’s sole discretion whether to agree to increase its Commitment hereunder in connection therewith.  No later than 10 Business Days after its receipt of the Borrower’s notice proposing a Commitment Increase, each Lender that is willing to increase its Commitment hereunder shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a notice in which such Lender shall set forth the maximum increase in its Commitment to which such Lender is willing to agree (any Lender not responding by such time to be deemed not to have agreed to such increase in its Commitment), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide to the Borrower a copy of such Increasing Lender’s notice.  The Administrative Agent shall cooperate with the Borrower in discussions with the Lenders and Eligible Assignees with a view to arranging any proposed Commitment Increase

28

through the increase of the Commitments of one or more of the Lenders and/or the addition of one or more Eligible Assignees as Assuming Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable efforts to secure any such proposed Commitment Increase (provided that any such addition of an Eligible Assignee as an Assuming Lender shall be subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, that any allocations of any increase of Commitments hereunder (including any allocation as between Increasing Lenders and Assuming Lenders) shall be determined by the Borrower in its sole discretion.

(ii)  If agreement is reached prior to the relevant Commitment Increase Date with any Increasing Lenders and Assuming Lenders, if any, as to a Commitment Increase (the amount of which may be less than (subject to the limitation set forth in clause (i)(B) of this Section 2.05(c)) but not greater than that amount specified in the applicable notice from the Borrower), the Borrower shall deliver, no later than one Business Day prior to such Commitment Increase Date, a notice thereof in reasonable detail to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders, including any Assuming Lenders).  The Assuming Lenders, if any, shall become Lenders hereunder as of such Commitment Increase Date and the Commitments of any Increasing Lenders and such Assuming Lenders shall become or be, as the case may be, as of such Commitment Increase Date, the amounts specified in the notice delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent; provided, that:

(x)  the Administrative Agent shall have received at or prior to 9:00 a.m. (New York time) on such Commitment Increase Date (A) if requested by any Assuming Lender or Increasing Lender, a duly executed Note, dated as of such Commitment Increase Date, for such Assuming Lender or Increasing Lender, dated the date to which interest on the existing Notes shall have been paid for each Increasing Lender, in each case in an amount equal to the Commitment of each such Assuming Lender and such Increasing Lender after giving effect to such Commitment Increase and (B) a certificate of a Financial Officer stating that each of the applicable conditions to such Commitment Increase set forth in this Section 2.05(c) has been satisfied;

(y)  with respect to each Assuming Lender, the Administrative Agent shall have received, at or prior to 9:00 a.m. (New York time) on such Commitment Increase Date, an appropriate New Lender Assumption Agreement, duly executed by such Assuming Lender and the Borrower and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent; and

(z)  each Increasing Lender shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent, at or prior to 9:00 a.m. (New York time) on such Commitment Increase Date, confirmation in writing satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as to its increased Commitment, with a copy of such confirmation to the Borrower.

(iii)  Upon its receipt of confirmation from a Lender that it is increasing its Commitment hereunder, together with the appropriate Note and certificate referred to in clause (ii)(x) above in each case, if any, the Administrative Agent shall (A) record the

29

information contained therein in the Register and (B) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower.  Upon its receipt of a New Lender Assumption Agreement as provided above executed by an Assuming Lender representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, together with the appropriate Note and certificate referred to in clause (ii)(x) above, the Administrative Agent shall accept such assumption agreement, record the information contained therein in the Register and (z) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower.

(iv)  In the event that the Administrative Agent shall not have received notice from the Borrower as to any agreement with respect to a Commitment Increase on or prior to the relevant Commitment Increase Date or the Borrower shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent prior to such Commitment Increase Date, withdraw its proposal for a Commitment Increase or any of the actions provided for above in clauses (ii)(x) through (ii)(z) shall not have occurred by 9:00 a.m. (New York time) on such Commitment Increase Date, such proposal by the Borrower shall be deemed not to have been made.  In such event, any actions theretofore taken under clauses (ii)(x) through (ii)(z) above shall be deemed to be of no effect and all the rights and obligations of the parties shall continue as if no such proposal had been made.

(v)  In the event that the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower as to any agreement with respect to a Commitment Increase on or prior to the relevant Commitment Increase Date and the actions provided for in clauses (ii)(x) through (ii)(z) above shall have occurred by 9:00 a.m. (New York time) on such Commitment Increase Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders (including any Assuming Lenders) of the occurrence of such Commitment Increase Date promptly and in any event by 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on such date by facsimile transmission or electronic messaging system.  Each Increasing Lender and each Assuming Lender shall, before 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on such Commitment Increase Date, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account for Loans denominated in the relevant Currency, in same day funds, an amount equal to such Increasing Lender’s or such Assuming Lender’s ratable portion of the Borrowings then outstanding (calculated based on its Commitment Percentage after giving effect to the relevant Commitment Increase).  After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds, the Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices in an amount to each Lender such that the aggregate amount of the outstanding Loans owing to each Lender after giving effect to such distribution equals such Lender’s ratable portion of the Borrowings then outstanding (calculated based on its Commitment as a percentage of the aggregate Commitments outstanding after giving effect to the relevant Commitment Increase).

(vi)  The Letter of Credit Facility Amount will automatically be increased proportionately with and at the same time as each Commitment Increase.

ARTICLE III

PAYMENTS

SECTION 3.01.  Repayment.  The Borrower agrees to repay the full principal amount of each Loan by each Lender, and each such Loan shall mature, on the Commitment Termination Date.

SECTION 3.02.  Interest.

(a)  Ordinary Interest.  The Borrower agrees to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan, from the date of such Loan until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

(i)  ABR Loans.  While such Loan is an ABR Loan, a rate per annum equal to the ABR in effect from time to time plus the Tranche A Applicable Margin for ABR Loans as in effect from time to time, to the extent such Loan is a Tranche A ABR Loan, or plus the Tranche B Applicable Margin for ABR Loans as in effect from time to time, to the extent such Loan is a Tranche B ABR Loan, interest under this clause (i) to be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and on the date such ABR Loan shall be Converted and on the date of each payment of principal thereof.

(ii)  Eurocurrency Loans.  While such Loan is a Eurocurrency Loan, a rate per annum for each Interest Period for such Loan equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the Tranche A Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Loans as in effect from time to time, to the extent such Loan is a Tranche A Eurocurrency Loan, or plus the Tranche B Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Loans as in effect from time to time, to the extent such Loan is a Tranche B Eurocurrency Loan, interest under this clause (ii) to be payable on the last day of such Interest Period and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on the date three months after the first day of such Interest Period, and on each date on which such Eurocurrency Loan shall be Continued or Converted and on the date of each payment of principal thereof.

(b)  Default Interest.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall pay interest on:

(i)  any principal of any Loan that is not paid when due (whether at scheduled maturity, by mandatory prepayment or otherwise), payable on demand and in any event on the date such amount shall be paid, at a rate per annum equal at all times to two percent (2%) per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such Loan pursuant to said Section 3.02(a)(i) or (a)(ii), as applicable; and

(ii)  any interest, fee or other amount thereof that is not paid when due, from the due date thereof until such amount shall be paid, payable on demand and in any event on the date such amount shall be paid in full, at a rate per annum equal at all times to two percent (2%) per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on Tranche A ABR

31

Loans or Tranche B ABR Loans, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 3.02(a)(i) above.

SECTION 3.03.  Eurocurrency Reserves.  The Borrower shall pay to each Lender additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Loan of such Lender, from the date of such Loan until such principal amount is paid in full, at an interest rate per annum equal at all times to the remainder obtained by subtracting (i) the Eurocurrency Rate for each Interest Period for such Loan from (ii) the rate obtained by dividing such Eurocurrency Rate by a percentage equal to 100% minus the Eurocurrency Rate Reserve Percentage of such Lender for such Interest Period, payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan.  Such additional interest shall be determined by such Lender and notified to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 3.04.  Interest Rate Determinations.

(a)  Reference Banks.  Each Reference Bank agrees to furnish to the Administrative Agent timely information for the purpose of determining each Eurocurrency Rate if so requested by the Administrative Agent.  If any one or more of the Reference Banks shall not furnish such timely information to the Administrative Agent for the purpose of determining any such interest rate, the Administrative Agent shall determine such interest rate on the basis of timely information furnished by the remaining Reference Banks (subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of “Eurocurrency Rate” in Section 1.01 and to clause (c) below).

(b)  Notice of Interest Rates.  The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the Lenders of the applicable interest rates determined by the Administrative Agent.

(c)  Unavailability of Rate.  If the relevant rates required to determine the Eurocurrency Rate do not appear on the Screen Page and fewer than two Reference Banks furnish timely information to the Administrative Agent for determining such rate for any Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Loans, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the interest rate cannot be determined for such Eurocurrency Loans for such Interest Period, whereupon:

(i)  each such Eurocurrency Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor, be Converted into an ABR Loan; and

(ii)  the obligation of the Lenders to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans into, Eurocurrency Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

(d)  Eurocurrency Rate Inadequate.  If, with respect to any Eurocurrency Loans, the Majority Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurocurrency Rate for any Interest Period for such Loans will not fairly reflect the cost to such Majority Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their respective Eurocurrency Loans for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon:

32

(i)  any Notice of Borrowing requesting a Borrowing comprised of Eurocurrency Loans shall be ineffective;

(ii)  each Eurocurrency Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor, be Converted into an ABR Loan; and

(iii)  the obligation of the Lenders to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans into, Eurocurrency Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and such Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

(e)  Certain Mandatory Conversions.

(i)  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (x) each Eurocurrency Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor, be Converted into an ABR Loan and (y) the obligation of the Lenders to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans into, Eurocurrency Loans shall be suspended.

(ii)  If this Agreement shall require that any Eurocurrency Loan be Converted to an ABR Loan and such Eurocurrency Loan is denominated in an Alternate Currency, the Borrower shall on the last day of the current Interest Period pay or prepay the full amount of such Eurocurrency Loan (provided, that the foregoing shall not prevent the Borrower from borrowing additional Loans to the extent otherwise permitted hereunder).

SECTION 3.05.  Voluntary Conversion or Continuation of Loans.

(a)  Conversions.  The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion, Convert all or any portion of the outstanding Loans of one Type comprising part of the same Borrowing into Loans of the other Type;  provided, that in the case of any such Conversion of a Eurocurrency Loan into an ABR Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor, the Borrower shall promptly reimburse the Lenders the amounts provided in Section 3.12 relating to such prepayment.  Each such notice of a Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Loans to be Converted, and (z) if such Conversion is into Eurocurrency Loans, the duration of the initial Interest Period for each such Loan.  Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.

(b)  Continuations.  The Borrower may, on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Continuation, Continue all or any portion of the outstanding Eurocurrency Loans comprising part of the same Borrowing for one or more Interest Periods.  Each such notice of a Continuation shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Continuation, (ii) the Eurocurrency Loans to be Continued and (y) the duration of the next Interest Period for the Eurocurrency Loans subject to such Continuation.  Each notice of Continuation shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.

33

SECTION 3.06.  Prepayments of Loans.

(a)  Optional Prepayment.  The Borrower may, on notice (given not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the second Business Day prior to the date of the proposed prepayment of Loans (in the case of Eurocurrency Loans) or given not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day of the proposed prepayment of Loans (in the case of ABR Loans)), stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount (stated in Dollars) of the prepayment, and if such notice is given the Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding principal amounts of the Loans comprising part of the same Borrowing in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (i) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount not less than $5,000,000 or integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, in the case of Loans denominated in an Alternate Currency, the Alternate Currency Equivalent thereof in such Alternate Currency) and (ii) in the case of any such prepayment of a Eurocurrency Loan on a day other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor, the Borrower shall reimburse the Lenders the amounts provided in Section 3.12 relating to such prepayment.  No optional prepayment of Loans shall be permitted except as provided in this clause (a).

(b)           Borrowing Base.  (i)  If at any time the Total Credit Exposure for either Tranche exceeds the Borrowing Base for such Tranche (after giving effect to any reallocation referred to below), the Borrower will, within 30 days of providing notice thereof to the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 6.01(a)(v), prepay Loans and/or Swing Line Loans of such Tranche or, if no such Loans and no Swing Line Loans are outstanding, provide cash collateral for the outstanding L/C Exposure of such Tranche pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, in such aggregate amount as may be required to cause such Total Credit Exposure to be equal to or less than such Borrowing Base.  Total Credit Exposure shall be deemed reallocated from Tranche B to Tranche A to the extent an updated Borrowing Base Certificate delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent demonstrates that there is adequate Tranche A Availability for such reallocation, such reallocation to be effective on the date such Borrowing Base is certified.

(ii)           Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may not designate any Portfolio Investment included in the Borrowing Base as an Excluded Investment (or cause any Eligible Portfolio Investment included in the Borrowing Base to cease to be subject to a perfected first priority Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent) if, after giving pro forma effect to such designation and any related Excluded Investment Financing, the Total Credit Exposure for either Tranche would exceed the Borrowing Base for such Tranche (or if as a result of such designation any excess of such Borrowing Base over such Total Credit Exposure would be increased).

(c)  Alternate Currency Revaluation.  If at any time by reason of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates (1) the Total Credit Exposure exceeds (2) 105% of the then aggregate amount of the Commitments, and the Majority Lenders shall so request, the Administrative Agent shall use all reasonable efforts to give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrower, specifying the amount to be prepaid under this clause (c), and the Borrower shall prepay Loans and/or Swing Line Loans or, if no Loans and no Swing Line Loans are outstanding, provide cash collateral for or otherwise backstop outstanding Letters of Credit on terms reasonably

34

satisfactory to the Borrower, the Issuing Lender and the Administrative Agent, in such aggregate amount as may be required to cause the Total Credit Exposure (treating such cash collaterization or other backstopping for purposes hereof as a reduction in such Exposure) to be equal to or less than the aggregate amount of the Commitments, such payments or other measures to be made within 30 days of demand or, in the case of prepayment of Eurocurrency Loans, on the date that is the earlier of (i) the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor and (ii) the last Business Day of the first full calendar month after such revaluation, provided that any such prepayment shall be accompanied by any amounts payable under Section 3.12.  The determinations of the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error.

SECTION 3.07.  Payments; Computations; Etc.

(a)           Pro Rata Payments.  The Loans comprising each Borrowing shall be made pro rata among the Lenders based on their respective Commitment Percentages.  All payments of principal of and interest on the Loans shall be made for the pro rata account of the Lenders based on the respective outstanding principal amounts thereof, and all payments of commitment fees and letter of credit commission shall be made for the pro rata account of the Lenders based on their respective Commitment Percentages.

(b)           Lenders’ Obligations Several.  The obligations of the Lenders under this Agreement are several and the failure of any Lender to make any Loan or any payment required to be made by it hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder, nor shall any Lender be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender.  The amounts payable at any time hereunder shall be a separate and independent debt and each Lender shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights under this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender to be joined as an additional party in any proceedings for such purpose.

(c)           Currencies.  All payments by the Borrower of or in respect of principal of and interest on and other amounts directly relating to any Loan that is denominated in an Alternate Currency shall be made in such Alternate Currency.  All payments of principal and interest on any Loan denominated in Dollars, and any Swing Line Loan, all payments in respect of any Letter of Credit, and all payments of fees payable pursuant to Section 2.04(c), commitment fees and agency fees hereunder and all other payments by the Borrower provided for in this Agreement, except as provided in the preceding sentence, shall be made in Dollars.

(d)  Payments.

(i)  The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder and under each other Loan Document without set-off or counterclaim to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account in the Principal Financial Center for the relevant Currency not later than 11:00 a.m. Local Time on the due date of such payment (each such payment made after such time on such date to be deemed to have been made on the next Business Day).

(ii)  The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest ratably to the Lenders as provided in

35

Section 3.07(a) 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 9.06(c), from and after the assignment date set forth therein, the Administrative Agent shall remit 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 assignment date directly between themselves.

(e)  Computations.  All computations of interest based on the ABR (except any Federal Funds Rate component thereof) shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable.  All computations of interest based on the Eurocurrency Rate or the Federal Funds Rate and of commitment fee shall be made by the Administrative Agent, and any computations of amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.03, shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days, for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or other amount is payable.  Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(f)  Payment Dates.  Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes would be due on a day other than a Business Day, such due date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and any such extension of such due date shall in such case be included in the computation of interest;  provided, that if such extension would cause payment of principal or interest in respect of Eurocurrency Loans to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

(g)  Presumption by Administrative Agent.

(i)            Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed time of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available at such time in accordance with Section 2.01(b) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (x) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (y) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans.  If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the

36

Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period.  If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.  Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

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

SECTION 3.08.  Sharing of Payments, Etc.  If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided, that:

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

(ii)  the provisions of this subsection shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this subsection shall apply).

The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such

37

participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 3.09.  Increased Costs.

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

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

(ii)  impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting or Eurocurrency Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any Eurocurrency Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) in respect of Eurocurrency Loans then, from time to time upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.  This Section 3.09 shall not apply to matters covered by Section 3.11 relating to Taxes.

(b)  Capital Requirements.  If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for such reduction.

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

(d)  Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation

38

therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

SECTION 3.10.  Illegality.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its Eurocurrency Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make or Continue Eurocurrency Loans or to fund or otherwise maintain Eurocurrency Loans hereunder, (i) the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans into, Eurocurrency Loans shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist and (ii) each Eurocurrency Loan of such Lender shall convert into an ABR Loan at the end of the then current Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Loan.

SECTION 3.11.  Taxes.

(a)  All payments on account of the principal of and interest on the Loans and the Notes, fees and all other amounts whatsoever payable by the Borrower under the Loan Documents, including amounts payable under paragraph (b) of this Section 3.11, shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or liability for Indemnified Taxes.

(b)  The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender (including each Issuing Lender) against, and reimburse them upon demand for, any Indemnified Taxes paid at any time by them and any loss, liability, claim or expense, including interest, penalties and legal fees, that they may incur at any time arising out of or in connection with any failure of the Borrower to make any payment of Indemnified Taxes when due.

(c)  In the event that the Borrower, any Person making a payment hereunder on behalf of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by applicable law, decree or regulation to deduct or withhold Indemnified Taxes from any amounts payable on, under or in respect of this Agreement, the Loans or any Loan Document, the Borrower shall promptly pay the Person entitled to such amount such additional amounts as may be required, after the deduction or withholding of Indemnified Taxes, to enable such Person to receive from the Borrower on the due date thereof an amount equal to the full amount stated to be payable to such Person.

(d)  The Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent original or certified copies of official tax receipts in respect of each payment of Indemnified Taxes required under this Section 3.11, as soon as practicable (and in any event no later than 45 days) after the date such payment is made, and the Borrower shall promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent at its request or at the request of any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) any other information, documents and receipts that the Administrative Agent or such Lender may reasonably require to establish that full and timely payment has been made of all Indemnified Taxes required to be paid under this Section 3.11.

(e)  The Borrower agrees to pay all present and future stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise taxes, charges or similar levies and any related interest

39

or penalties incidental thereto imposed by Guernsey, or any jurisdiction from which any amount payable hereunder is made, or any municipality or other political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein which arises from any payment made by the Borrower under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, enforcement or registration of any Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Applicable Taxes”).

(f)  If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund or credit (in lieu of such refund) of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.11, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 3.11 with respect to the Taxes of Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender in the event the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender to make available its tax returns or its books or records (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

(g)  If pursuant to this Section 3.11 the Borrower is required to pay to or for the account of any Lender any additional amounts in excess of such additional amounts payable on the date hereof, then such Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if, in the sole and absolute judgment of such Lender, such change (i) would eliminate or reduce any such excess additional amounts and (ii) would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

SECTION 3.12.  Break Funding Payments.  The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender which is in the nature of funding breakage costs or costs of liquidation or redeployment of deposits or other funds and any other related expense (but excluding loss of margin or other loss of anticipated profit), which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Loans after the Borrower has given a Notice of Borrowing requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (including as a result of any failure to fulfill, on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing, the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV), (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of any Eurocurrency Loan when due after the Borrower has given notice thereof in accordance with this Agreement, (c) the making by the Borrower of a prepayment of any Eurocurrency Loan on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, (d) default by the Borrower in payment when due of the principal of or interest on any Eurocurrency Loan, (e) the Conversion or Continuation of any Eurocurrency Loan on a day other than on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto, and (f) any assignment such Lender is required to make pursuant to Section 3.13(b) if such Lender holds Eurocurrency Loans at the time of such assignment.  A certificate of any Lender setting forth any

40

amount or amounts and a reasonable basis for the determination thereof that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay to such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 3.13.  Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)  Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.09, or requires the Borrower to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.11, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, if, in the sole and absolute judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.09 or 3.11, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.

(b)  Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.09, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.11, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, or if any Lender has failed to consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, discharge or termination that, pursuant to the terms of Section 9.01, requires the consent of all of the Lenders or all of the Lenders affected (and such Lender is an affected Lender) and with respect to which the Majority Lenders shall have granted their consent, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 9.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(i)  no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on and as of the date of such notice and the date of such assignment;

(ii)  such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.12) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii)  in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.09 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.11, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(iv)  such assignment does not conflict with applicable law.

41

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.  A Lender so replaced shall not be required to pay the processing and recordation fee referred to in Section 9.05(b).

(b)  Indemnification by the Borrower.  The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel for the Indemnitees in each relevant jurisdiction or of more than one such counsel to the extent any Indemnitee reasonably determines that there is an actual conflict of interest requiring the employment of separate

60

counsel), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, provided, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower against an Indemnitee for breach of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c)  Reimbursement by Lenders.  To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under clause (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Commitment Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided, that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent in connection with such capacity.

(d)  Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereto agrees that it will not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Swing Line Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any Letter of Credit.

(e)  Payments.  All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 10 Business Days after demand therefor.

SECTION 9.05.  Binding Effect, Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Lender that such Lender has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lenders.

61

SECTION 9.06. Assignments and Participations.

(a)  Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of clause (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of clause (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest in accordance with clause (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 clause (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)  Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it);  provided, that

(i)   except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(ii)  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 under both Tranches with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned; and

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

Subject to notice to the Borrower and acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (c) of this Section, from and after the Assignment Date specified in each Assignment and Assumption (an “Assignment Date”), the Eligible Assignee thereunder

62

shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.11, 3.12 and 9.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to such Assignment Date. 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 clause (d) of this Section.

(c)  Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address specified in Section 9.02 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 Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d)  Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it);  provided, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent 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, modification or waiver described in the first proviso of Section 9.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to clause (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of 3.11 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.12 as though it were a Lender.

(e)  Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.09 and 3.11 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant.

63

(f)  Certain Pledges. Any Lender, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent may at any time grant security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement or any Note 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.

SECTION 9.07. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

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

(b)  Submission to Jurisdiction. The Borrower irrevocably submits, for itself and its Property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and the Borrower irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, in such Federal court. The Borrower 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 any Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document against the Borrower or its Properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c)  Waiver of Venue. The Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Loan Document in any court referred to in clause (b) above. The Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d)  Service of Process. The Borrower agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to KKR KPE LLC (the “Process Agent”) as agent for the Borrower in New York, New York for service of process at its address set forth in Section 9.02, or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower;  provided, that if the Process Agent changes its location (outside the Borough of Manhattan) or ceases to act as the Borrower’s agent for service of process, the Borrower will, by an instrument reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, promptly appoint another Person (subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent) in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York to act as the Borrower’s agent for service of process. Each other party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.02. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

64

(e)  Waiver of Immunity. To the extent that the Borrower may be or become entitled to claim for itself or its Property any immunity on the ground of sovereignty or the like from suit, court jurisdiction, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of a judgment or execution of a judgment, and to the extent that in any such jurisdiction there may be attributed such an immunity (whether or not claimed), the Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees not to claim and hereby irrevocably waives such immunity with respect to its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 9.08. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.09. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Execution.

(a)  Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

(b)  Electronic Execution of Loan Documents or any Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Loan Documents or 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.

SECTION 9.10. Survival. The provisions of Sections 3.09, 3.11 and 3.12 and Article VIII and Section 9.04 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 9.11. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY

65

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

SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority), (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 under any Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, provided, that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential, provided, that all information received pursuant to Section 6.01(a)(iii) through (vi) and 6.01(h) shall be treated as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

SECTION 9.13. No Fiduciary Relationship. The Borrower acknowledges that neither any Lender nor the Administrative Agent has any fiduciary relationship with, or fiduciary duty to, the Borrower arising out of or in connection with any Loan Document, and the relationship between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the one hand, and the

66

Borrower, on the other, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor. This Agreement does not create a joint venture among the parties.

SECTION 9.14. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.15. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.

SECTION 9.16. Judgment Currency. This is an international loan transaction in which the specification of Dollars or an Alternate Currency, as the case may be (the “Specified Currency”), and any payment in New York City or the country of the Specified Currency, as the case may be (the “Specified Place”), is of the essence, and the Specified Currency shall be the currency of account in all events relating to Amounts denominated in such Specified Currency. The payment obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be discharged by an amount paid in another currency or in another place, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, to the extent that the amount so paid on conversion to the Specified Currency and transfer to the Specified Place under normal banking procedures does not yield the amount of the Specified Currency at the Specified Place due hereunder. If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in the Specified Currency into another currency (the “Second Currency”), the rate of exchange which shall be applied shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the Specified Currency with the Second Currency on the Business Day next preceding that on which such judgment is rendered. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder shall, notwithstanding the rate of exchange actually applied in rendering such judgment, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be due hereunder or under the Notes in the Second Currency to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase and transfer to the Specified Place the Specified Currency with the amount of the Second Currency so adjudged to be due; and the Borrower hereby, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against, and to pay the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on demand in the Specified Currency, any difference between the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, in the Specified Currency and the amount of the Specified Currency so purchased and transferred.

SECTION 9.17  European Monetary Union. (a)  Definitions. In this Section 9.17 and in each other provision of this Agreement to which reference is made in this Section 9.17 (whether expressly or impliedly), the following terms have the following respective meanings:

67

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

“EMU Legislation” shall mean legislative measures of the European Council for the introduction of, changeover to or operation of a single or unified European currency, being in part the implementation of the third stage of EMU.

“Euro” shall mean the single currency of Participating Member States of the European Union, which shall be a Currency under this Agreement.

“Euro Unit” shall mean a currency unit of the Euro.

“National Currency Unit” shall mean a unit of any Currency (other than a Euro Unit) of a Participating Member State.

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

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

(b)  Alternative Currencies. If and to the extent that any EMU Legislation provides that an amount denominated either in the Euro or in the National Currency Unit of a Participating Member State and payable within the Participating Member State by crediting an account of the creditor can be paid by the debtor either in the Euro Unit or in that National Currency Unit, any party to this Agreement shall be entitled to pay such amount either in the Euro Unit or in such National Currency Unit.

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

68

settlement system as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably determine for the purpose of clearing or settling payments of the Euro.

For the purposes of determining the date on which the applicable rate for Eurocurrency Loans, as the case may be, is determined under this Agreement for any Loan denominated in the Euro (or any National Currency Unit) for any Interest Period therefor, references in this Agreement to London Banking Days shall be deemed to be references to Target Operating Days. In addition, if the Administrative Agent determines that there is no Eurocurrency Rate displayed on the Screen Page for deposits denominated in the National Currency Unit in which any Loans are denominated, the Eurocurrency Rate for such Loans shall be based upon the rate displayed on the applicable Screen Page for the offering of deposits denominated in Euro Units.

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

(f)  Other Consequential Changes. Without prejudice to the respective liabilities of the Borrower to the Lenders and the Lenders to the Borrower under or pursuant to this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Section 9.17, each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify to be necessary or appropriate to reflect the introduction of or changeover to the Euro in Participating Member States.
