2.8. Optional Principal Payments. The Borrower may from time to time pay, without penalty or premium, all outstanding Floating Rate Advances (other than Swing Line Loans), or, in a minimum aggregate amount of $2,500,000 or any integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, any portion of the outstanding Floating Rate Advances (other than Swing Line Loans) upon two Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower may at any time pay, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.3 but without penalty or premium, all outstanding Swing Line Loans, or, in a minimum amount of $100,000 and increments of $50,000 in excess thereof, any portion of the outstanding Swing Line Loans, with notice to the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender by 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the date of repayment. The Borrower may from time to time pay, subject to the payment of any funding indemnification amounts required by Section 3.3 but without penalty or premium, all outstanding Eurodollar Advances, or, in a minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof, any portion of the outstanding Eurodollar Advances upon three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent.

2.9. Method of Selecting Types and Interest Periods for New Advances. The Borrower shall select the Type of Advance and, in the case of each Eurodollar Advance, the Interest Period applicable thereto from time to time. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice by an Authorized Officer (a “Borrowing Notice”) not later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the Borrowing Date of each Floating Rate Advance and not later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the third Business Days preceding the Borrowing Date for each Eurodollar Advance, specifying:

(i)

the Borrowing Date, which shall be a Business Day, of such Advance,

(ii)

the aggregate amount of such Advance,

(iii)

the Type of Advance selected, and

(iv)

in the case of each Eurodollar Advance, the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Not later than noon (Chicago time) on each Borrowing Date, each Lender shall make available its Revolving Loan or Revolving Loans in funds immediately available in Chicago to the Administrative Agent at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII. The Administrative Agent will make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the Borrower at the Administrative Agent’s aforesaid address.

2.10. Conversion and Continuation of Outstanding Advances. Floating Rate Advances (other than Swing Line Loans) shall continue as Floating Rate Advances unless and until such Floating Rate Advances are converted into Eurodollar Advances pursuant to this Section 2.10 or are repaid in accordance with Section 2.8. Each Eurodollar Advance shall continue as a Eurodollar Advance until the end of the then applicable Interest Period therefor, at which time such Eurodollar Advance shall be automatically converted into a Floating Rate Advance unless (x) such Eurodollar Advance is or was repaid in accordance with Section 2.8 or (y) the Borrower shall have given the Administrative Agent a Conversion/Continuation Notice (as defined below) requesting that, at the end of such Interest Period, such Eurodollar Advance continue as a Eurodollar Advance for the same or another Interest Period. Subject to the terms of Section 2.7, the Borrower may elect from time to time to convert all or any part of a Floating Rate Advance (other than a Swing Line Loan) into a Eurodollar Advance. The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (a “Conversion/Continuation Notice”) of each conversion of a Floating Rate Advance into a Eurodollar Advance or continuation of a Eurodollar Advance not later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) at least three Business Days prior to the date of the requested conversion or continuation, specifying:

(i)

the requested date, which shall be a Business Day, of such conversion or continuation,

(ii)

the aggregate amount and Type of the Advance which is to be converted or continued, and

(iii)

the amount of such Advance which is to be converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Advance and the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

2.11. Changes in Interest Rate, etc. Each Floating Rate Advance (other than a Swing Line Loan) shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the date such Advance is made or is automatically converted from a Eurodollar Advance into a Floating Rate Advance pursuant to Section 2.10, to but excluding the date it is paid or is converted into a Eurodollar Advance pursuant to Section 2.10 hereof, at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate for such day. Each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for each day from and including the day such Swing Line Loan is made to but excluding the date it is paid, at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate for such day or such other rate, if any, agreed to by the Borrower and the Swing Line Lender for such day. Changes in the rate of interest on that portion of any Advance maintained as a Floating Rate Advance will take effect simultaneously with each change in the Alternate Base Rate. Each Eurodollar Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from and including the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent as applicable to such Eurodollar Advance based upon the Borrower’s selections under Sections 2.9 and 2.10 and otherwise in accordance with the terms hereof. No Interest Period may end after the Facility Termination Date.

2.12. Rates Applicable After Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.9 or 2.10, during the continuance of a Default or Unmatured Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that no Advance may be made as, converted into or continued as a Eurodollar Advance. During the continuance of a Default the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 8.2 requiring unanimous consent of the Lenders to changes in interest rates), declare that (i) each Eurodollar Advance shall bear interest for the remainder of the applicable Interest Period at the rate otherwise applicable to such Interest Period plus 2% per annum, (ii) each Floating Rate Advance shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate in effect from time to time plus 2% per annum and (iii) the LC Fee shall be increased by 2% per annum, provided that, during the continuance of a Default under Section 7.6 or 7.7, the interest rates set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above and the increase in the LC Fee set forth in clause (iii) above shall be applicable to all Credit Extensions without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

2.13. Method of Payment. All payments of the Obligations hereunder shall be made, without setoff, deduction, or counterclaim, in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s address specified pursuant to Article XIII, or at any other Lending Installation of the Administrative Agent specified in writing by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower, by noon (local time) on the date when due and shall (except in the case of Reimbursement Obligations for which the LC Issuer has not been fully indemnified by the Lenders, with respect to repayments of Swing Line Loans or as otherwise specifically required hereunder) be applied ratably by the Administrative Agent among the Lenders. Each payment delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender shall be delivered promptly by the Administrative Agent to such Lender in the same type of funds that the Administrative Agent received at its address specified pursuant to Article XIII or at any Lending Installation specified in a notice received by the Administrative Agent from such Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no payments of principal, interest, fees or other amounts delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Defaulting Lender shall be delivered by the Administrative Agent to such Defaulting Lender. Instead, such payments shall, for so long as such Defaulting Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, be held by the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized and directed by all parties hereto to hold such funds in escrow and apply such funds as follows: (i) First, if applicable to any payments due from such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or the LC Issuer, and (ii) Second, to Credit Extensions required to be made by such Defaulting Lender on any Borrowing Date to the extent such Defaulting Lender fails to make such Credit Extensions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the termination of all Commitments and the payment and performance of all of the Obligations (other than those owing to a Defaulting Lender), any funds then held in escrow by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be distributed to each Defaulting Lender, pro rata in proportion to amounts that would be due to each Defaulting Lender but for the fact that it is a Defaulting Lender. Each reference to the Administrative Agent in this Section 2.13 shall also be deemed to refer, and shall apply equally, to the LC Issuer, in the case of payments required to be made by the Borrower to the LC Issuer pursuant to Section 2.20.6, and the Swing Line Lender, in the case of payments required to be made by the Borrower to the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.5.4.

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

(ii) The Administrative Agent shall also maintain accounts in which it will record (a) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period with respect thereto, (b) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder, (c) the original stated amount of each Facility LC and the amount of LC Obligations outstanding at any time, and (d) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and each Lender’s share thereof.

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

(iv) Any Lender may request that its Revolving Loans be evidenced by a promissory note or, in the case of the Swing Line Lender, promissory notes representing its Revolving Loans and Swing Line Loans, respectively, substantially in the form of Exhibit B, with appropriate changes for notes evidencing Swing Line Loans (each a “Note”). In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender such Note or Notes payable to the order of such Lender. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by each such Note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after any assignment pursuant to Section 12.1) be represented by one or more Notes payable to the order of the payee named therein or any assignee pursuant to Section 12.1, except to the extent that any such Lender or assignee subsequently returns any such Note for cancellation and requests that such Loans once again be evidenced as described in paragraphs (i) and (ii) above.

2.15. Telephonic Notices. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to extend, convert or continue Advances, effect selections of Types of Advances and to transfer funds based on telephonic notices made by any person or persons the Administrative Agent or any Lender in good faith believes to be an Authorized Officer, it being understood that the foregoing authorization is specifically intended to allow Borrowing Notices, Swingline Borrowing Notices and Conversion/Continuation Notices to be given telephonically. The Borrower agrees to deliver promptly to the Administrative Agent a written (which includes electronic mail) confirmation, if such confirmation is requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, of each telephonic notice signed by an Authorized Officer. If the written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the records of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall constitute prima facie evidence of the action requested by Borrower.

2.16. Interest Payment Dates; Interest and Fee Basis. Interest accrued on each Floating Rate Advance shall be payable on each Payment Date, commencing with the first such date to occur after the date hereof, on any date on which the Floating Rate Advance is prepaid, whether due to acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on that portion of the outstanding principal amount of any Floating Rate Advance converted into a Eurodollar Advance on a day other than a Payment Date shall be payable on the date of conversion. Interest accrued on each Eurodollar Advance shall be payable on the last day of its applicable Interest Period, on any date on which the Eurodollar Advance is prepaid, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at maturity. Interest accrued on each Eurodollar Advance having an Interest Period longer than three months shall also be payable within three (3) Business Days following the Borrower’s receipt of an invoice (which invoice may not be delivered to the Borrower more than three (3) Business Days prior to the applicable payment date) from the Administrative Agent with respect to the period ending on the last day of each three-month interval during such Interest Period. Interest, facility fees and LC Fees, other than interest based on the Floating Rate, shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year. Interest based on the Floating Rate shall be calculated for actual days elapsed on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year. Interest shall be payable for the day an Advance is made but not for the day of any payment on the amount paid if payment is received prior to noon (local time) at the place of payment. If any payment of principal of or interest on an Advance shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of a principal payment, such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.

2.17. Notification of Advances, Interest Rates, Prepayments and Commitment Reductions. Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the contents of each Aggregate Commitment reduction notice, Borrowing Notice, Conversion/Continuation Notice, and repayment notice received by it hereunder. The Administrative Agent will notify each Lender of the interest rate applicable to each Eurodollar Advance promptly upon determination of such interest rate and will give each Lender prompt notice of each change in the Alternate Base Rate.

2.18. Lending Installations. Each Lender may book its Loans and its participation in any LC Obligations and Swing Line Loans and the LC Issuer may book the Facility LCs at any Lending Installation selected by such Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, and may change its Lending Installation from time to time, subject to the limitations of Section 3.5 hereof. All terms of this Agreement shall apply to any such Lending Installation and the Loans, Facility LCs, participations in LC Obligations and any Notes issued hereunder shall be deemed held by each Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, for the benefit of any such Lending Installation. Each Lender and the LC Issuer may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in accordance with Article XIII, designate replacement or additional Lending Installations through which Loans will be made by it or Facility LCs will be issued by it and for whose account Loan payments or payments with respect to Facility LCs are to be made.

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

2.20. Facility LCs.

2.20.1. Issuance. The LC Issuer hereby agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to issue letters of credit (each, a “Facility LC”) and to renew, extend, increase, decrease or otherwise modify each Facility LC (“Modify,” and each such action a “Modification”), from time to time from and including the date of this Agreement and prior to the Facility Termination Date upon the request of the Borrower; provided that immediately after each such Facility LC is issued or Modified, (i) the aggregate amount of the outstanding LC Obligations shall not exceed $25,000,000 and (ii) the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments. Facility LCs may have an expiry date beyond the Facility Termination Date, provided that (a) no Facility LC shall have an expiry date later than the date one year after the Facility Termination Date and (b) the Borrower is unconditionally obligated, without any further notice, act or demand, to (x) pay to the Administrative Agent an amount in immediately available funds, which funds shall be held in the Facility LC Collateral Account, equal to 105% to the amount of LC Obligations outstanding on the Facility Termination Date or (y) provide a letter of credit in the amount of, and securing, such LC Obligations in form and substance, and issued by an issuer, acceptable to the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent. The letters of credit identified on Schedule 2.20 (each an “Existing Facility LC”) shall each be deemed to be a “Facility LC” issued on the date of this Agreement for all purposes of the Loan Documents.

2.20.2. Participations. Upon the issuance or Modification by the LC Issuer of a Facility LC in accordance with this Section 2.20, the LC Issuer shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably sold to each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the LC Issuer, a participation in such Facility LC (and each Modification thereof) and the related LC Obligations in proportion to its Pro Rata Share.

2.20.3. Notice. Subject to Section 2.20.1, the Borrower shall give the LC Issuer notice prior to 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) at least two Business Days prior to the proposed date of issuance or Modification of each Facility LC, specifying the beneficiary, the account party, the proposed date of issuance (or Modification) and the expiry date of such Facility LC, and describing the proposed terms of such Facility LC and the nature of the transactions proposed to be supported thereby. The account party shall be the Borrower or a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, and if the account party is a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary the Borrower hereby agrees that it shall be jointly and severally, absolutely and unconditionally liable with such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary for all reimbursement obligations and all other liabilities with respect to such Facility LC and such Wholly-Owned Subsidiary shall agree to all applicable terms hereunder and execute such other agreements requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with any such Facility LC. Upon receipt of such notice, the LC Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender, of the contents thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s participation in such proposed Facility LC. The issuance or Modification by the LC Issuer of any Facility LC shall, in addition to the conditions precedent set forth in Article IV (the satisfaction of which the LC Issuer shall have no duty to ascertain), be subject to the conditions precedent that such Facility LC shall be satisfactory to the LC Issuer and that the Borrower shall have executed and delivered such application agreement and/or such other instruments and agreements relating to such Facility LC as the LC Issuer shall have reasonably requested (each, a “Facility LC Application”). In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any Facility LC Application, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

2.20.4. LC Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, with respect to each Facility LC (including, without limitation, each Existing Facility LC), a letter of credit fee at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans in effect from time to time on the face amount of such Facility LC, such fee to be payable in arrears on each Payment Date (each such fee described in this sentence an “LC Fee”). The Borrower shall also pay to the LC Issuer for its own account (x) at the time of issuance of each Facility LC, a fronting fee in an amount to be agreed upon between the LC Issuer and the Borrower, and (y) documentary and processing charges in connection with the issuance or Modification of and draws under Facility LCs in accordance with the LC Issuer’s standard schedule for such charges as in effect from time to time.

2.20.5. Administration; Reimbursement by Lenders. Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Facility LC of any demand for payment under such Facility LC, the LC Issuer shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and each other Lender as to the amount to be paid by the LC Issuer as a result of such demand and the proposed payment date (the “LC Payment Date”). The responsibility of the LC Issuer to the Borrower and each Lender shall be only to determine that the documents (including each demand for payment) delivered under each Facility LC in connection with such presentment shall be in substantial conformity with such Facility LC. The LC Issuer shall endeavor to exercise the same care in the issuance and administration of the Facility LCs as it does with respect to letters of credit in which no participations are granted, it being understood that in the absence of any gross negligence or willful misconduct by the LC Issuer, each Lender shall be unconditionally and irrevocably liable without regard to the occurrence of any Default or any condition precedent whatsoever, to reimburse the LC Issuer on demand for (i) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of each payment made by the LC Issuer under each Facility LC to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.20.6 below, plus (ii) interest on the foregoing amount to be reimbursed by such Lender, for each day from the date of the LC Issuer’s demand for such reimbursement (or, if such demand is made after 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on such date, from the next succeeding Business Day) to the date on which such Lender pays the amount to be reimbursed by it, at a rate of interest per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate for the first three days and, thereafter, at a rate of interest equal to the rate applicable to Floating Rate Advances.

2.20.6. Reimbursement by Borrower. The Borrower shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to reimburse the LC Issuer on or before the applicable LC Payment Date for any amounts to be paid by the LC Issuer upon any drawing under any Facility LC, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind; provided that neither the Borrower nor any Lender shall hereby be precluded from asserting any claim for direct (but not consequential) damages suffered by the Borrower or such Lender to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (i) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the LC Issuer in determining whether a request presented under any Facility LC issued by it complied with the terms of such Facility LC or (ii) the LC Issuer’s failure to pay under any Facility LC issued by it after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Facility LC. All such amounts paid by the LC Issuer and remaining unpaid by the Borrower shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to (x) the rate applicable to Floating Rate Advances for such day if such day falls on or before the applicable LC Payment Date and (y) the sum of 2% plus the rate applicable to Floating Rate Advances for such day if such day falls after such LC Payment Date. The LC Issuer will pay to each Lender ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share all amounts received by it from the Borrower for application in payment, in whole or in part, of the Reimbursement Obligation in respect of any Facility LC issued by the LC Issuer, but only to the extent such Lender has made payment to the LC Issuer in respect of such Facility LC pursuant to Section 2.20.5. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including without limitation the submission of a Borrowing Notice in compliance with Section 2.9 and the satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article IV), the Borrower may request an Advance hereunder for the purpose of satisfying any Reimbursement Obligation.

2.20.7. Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.20 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Borrower may have or have had against the LC Issuer, any Lender or any beneficiary of a Facility LC. The Borrower further agrees with the LC Issuer and the Lenders that the LC Issuer and the Lenders shall not be responsible for, and the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligation in respect of any Facility LC shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even if such documents should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Borrower, any of its Affiliates, the beneficiary of any Facility LC or any financing institution or other party to whom any Facility LC may be transferred or any claims or defenses whatsoever of the Borrower or of any of its Affiliates against the beneficiary of any Facility LC or any such transferee. The LC Issuer shall not be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Facility LC. The Borrower agrees that any action taken or omitted by the LC Issuer or any Lender under or in connection with each Facility LC and the related drafts and documents, if done without gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall be binding upon the Borrower and shall not put the LC Issuer or any Lender under any liability to the Borrower. Nothing in this Section 2.20.7 is intended to limit the right of the Borrower to make a claim against the LC Issuer for damages as contemplated by the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.20.6.

2.20.8. Actions of LC Issuer. The LC Issuer shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any Facility LC, draft, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by the LC Issuer. The LC Issuer shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement unless it shall first have received such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it reasonably deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.20, the LC Issuer shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Lenders and any future holders of a participation in any Facility LC.

2.20.9. Indemnification. The Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, the LC Issuer and the Administrative Agent, and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees from and against any and all claims and damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses which such Lender, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent may incur (or which may be claimed against such Lender, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent by any Person whatsoever) by reason of or in connection with the issuance, execution and delivery or transfer of or payment or failure to pay under any Facility LC or any actual or proposed use of any Facility LC, including, without limitation, any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses which the LC Issuer may incur by reason of or in connection with (i) the failure of any other Lender to fulfill or comply with its obligations to the LC Issuer hereunder (but nothing herein contained shall affect any rights the Borrower may have against any defaulting Lender) or (ii) by reason of or on account of the LC Issuer issuing any Facility LC which specifies that the term “Beneficiary” included therein includes any successor by operation of law of the named Beneficiary, but which Facility LC does not require that any drawing by any such successor Beneficiary be accompanied by a copy of a legal document, satisfactory to the LC Issuer, evidencing the appointment of such successor Beneficiary; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify any Lender, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent for any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs or expenses to the extent, but only to the extent, caused by (x) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the LC Issuer in determining whether a request presented under any Facility LC complied with the terms of such Facility LC or (y) the LC Issuer’s failure to pay under any Facility LC after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Facility LC. Nothing in this Section 2.20.9 is intended to limit the obligations of the Borrower under any other provision of this Agreement.

2.20.10. Lenders’ Indemnification. Each Lender shall, ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, indemnify the LC Issuer, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such indemnitees’ gross negligence or willful misconduct or the LC Issuer’s failure to pay under any Facility LC after the presentation to it of a request strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Facility LC) that such indemnitees may suffer or incur in connection with this Section 2.20 or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitees hereunder.

2.20.11. Facility LC Collateral Account. The Borrower agrees that it will, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders after a Default has occurred and is continuing and until the final expiration date of any Facility LC and thereafter as long as any amount is due and owing to the LC Issuer or the Lenders in respect of any Facility LC, maintain a special collateral account pursuant to arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (the “Facility LC Collateral Account”) at the Administrative Agent’s office at the address specified pursuant to Article XIII, in the name of the Borrower but under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and in which the Borrower shall have no interest other than as set forth in Section 8.1. The Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and the LC Issuer, a security interest in all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all funds which may from time to time be on deposit in the Facility LC Collateral Account to secure the prompt and complete payment and performance of the Obligations, provided that it is acknowledged and agreed that no funds may be required to be deposited in such Facility LC Collateral Account until after a Default. The Administrative Agent will invest any funds on deposit from time to time in the Facility LC Collateral Account in certificates of deposit of JPMCB having a maturity not exceeding 30 days. Nothing in this Section 2.20.11 shall either obligate the Administrative Agent to require the Borrower to deposit any funds in the Facility LC Collateral Account until after a Default or limit the right of the Administrative Agent to release any funds held in the Facility LC Collateral Account in each case other than as required under Section 2.20.1 or Section 8.1.

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

2.21. Extension of Facility Termination Date. The Borrower may request a one-year extension of the Facility Termination Date by submitting a request for an extension to the Administrative Agent (an “Extension Request”) no more than 90 and no less than 50 days prior to each anniversary of the closing of this Agreement. Promptly upon receipt of an Extension Request, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender thereof and shall request each Lender to approve the Extension Request. Each Lender approving the Extension Request shall deliver its written consent no later than 15 days prior to such anniversary of the closing of this Agreement. If the consent of each of the Lenders is received by the Administrative Agent, the Facility Termination Date shall be extended by one year from the then existing Facility Termination Date and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and each Lender of the new Facility Termination Date. No Lender shall be required to consent to such Extension Request.

2.22. Replacement of Lender. If the Borrower is required pursuant to Section 3.2, 3.3 or 3.4 to make any additional payment to any Lender or if any Lender’s obligation to make or continue, or to convert Floating Rate Advances into, Eurodollar Advances shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.1, or if any Lender does not approve or consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination pursuant to Section 8.2.1 or an Extension Request pursuant to Section 2.21 when Lenders constituting the Required Lenders are approving such proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination pursuant to Section 8.2.1 or Extension Request, as applicable, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender (any Lender so affected an “Affected Lender”), the Borrower may elect to replace such Affected Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that no Default or Unmatured Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, and provided further that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Advances and other Obligations due to the Affected Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Affected Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of Section 12.1 applicable to assignments, and (ii) the Borrower shall pay to such Affected Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (A) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Affected Lender by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Affected Lender under Sections 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4, and (B) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 3.3 had the Loans of such Affected Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.

2.23 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.6(a);

(b) the Commitment and Outstanding Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 8.2); provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected thereby;

(c) if any Swing Line Loan Exposure or Facility LC Credit Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i) all or any part of the Swing Line Loan Exposure and LC Obligations of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Outstanding Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swing Line Loan Exposure and LC Obligations does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within three Business Days following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swing Line Loan Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the LC Issuer only the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Obligations (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.20.11 for so long as such LC Obligations is outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Obligations pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay the LC Fee to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to the first sentence of Section 2.20.4 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Obligations during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Obligations is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the LC Obligations of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.5(a) and Section 2.15.6(ii) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Pro Rata Shares; and

(v) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Obligations is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the LC Issuer or any other Lender hereunder, all LC Fees payable under to the first sentence of Section 2.20.4 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Obligations shall be payable to the LC Issuer until and to the extent that such LC Obligations is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loan and the LC Issuer shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Facility LC, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Obligations will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.23(c), and participating interests in any newly made Swing Line Loan or any newly issued or increased Facility LC shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.23(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a Parent of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Administrative Agent or the LC Issuer has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to fund any Swing Line Loan and the LC Issuer shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Facility LC, unless the Administrative Agent or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the LC Issuer each agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swing Line Loan Exposure and LC Obligations of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swing Line Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share.

2.24 Incremental Credit Extensions.

(a) At any time and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.24, the Borrower may request (i) one or more tranches of term loans (the “Incremental Term Loans”) and/or (ii) one or more increases in the Aggregate Commitment (each such increase, a “Commitment Increase”) with the consent of the Administrative Agent but without the consent of any Lender not providing such Incremental Term Loans or Commitment Increases, as the case may be; provided that the aggregate amount of all Incremental Term Loans and all Commitments (after giving effect to all Commitment Increases) shall not exceed $200,000,000. Any tranche of Incremental Term Loans (A) shall be available to the Borrower in Dollars and (B) shall rank pari passu in right of payment and security with the Revolving Loans, (C) shall not mature earlier than the Revolving Facility Termination Date (but may have amortization prior to such date, may be required to be mandatorily prepaid in full prior to prepayment of the Revolving Loans, and may permit voluntary prepayments by the Borrower) and (D) except as set forth above, shall be treated substantially the same as (and in any event no more favorably than) the Revolving Loans; provided that (1) the terms and conditions applicable to any tranche of Incremental Term Loans maturing after the Revolving Facility Termination Date may provide for material additional or different financial or other covenants or prepayment requirements applicable only during periods after the Revolving Facility Termination Date and (2) the Incremental Term Loans may be priced differently than the Revolving Loans.

(b) Each tranche of Incremental Term Loans and each Commitment Increase shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $5,000,000. A commitment to make Incremental Term Loans shall become an “Incremental Term Loan Commitment” under this Agreement, and a commitment to participate in a Commitment Increase shall become a “Commitment” (or in the case of a Commitment Increase to be provided by an existing Revolving Lender, an increase in such Lender’s Commitment) under this Agreement, in any such case, pursuant to a “Commitment and Acceptance” substantially in the form of Exhibit C (a “Commitment and Acceptance”). Any request for a tranche of Incremental Term Loans or a Commitment Increase shall be made in a written notice (an “Increase Notice”) given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower not less than ten Business Days (or such other period agreed to between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) prior to the proposed effective date therefor, which Increase Notice shall specify the amount of the proposed tranche of Incremental Term Loans or the Commitment Increase, as the case may be, and the proposed effective date thereof. Incremental Term Loans may be made, and Commitment Increases may be provided, by any existing Lender or by any other bank or other financial institution (any such other bank or other financial institution, a “Proposed New Lender”) as determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower; provided that any Proposed New Lender in the case of a Commitment Increase shall be consented to by the LC Issuer and Swing Line Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders on or before the Business Day immediately prior to the proposed effective date of the tranche of Incremental Term Loan Commitments (and the related Incremental Term Loans) or the Commitment Increase, of the amount of each Lender’s and Proposed New Lender’s Incremental Term Loan Commitment or new or increased Commitment, as applicable, and the resulting aggregate amount of the tranche of Incremental Term Loan Commitments (and the related Incremental Term Loans) or the amount of the Aggregate Commitment, as the case may be, which amount shall be effective on the following Business Day, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions described in clause (c) below.

(c) Without limiting the applicability of any conditions to Advances set forth in this Agreement, the effectiveness of any tranche of Incremental Term Loan Commitments (and the corresponding availability of the related Incremental Term Loans) and the effectiveness of each Commitment Increase shall be subject to the following conditions precedent:

(i) Both as of the date of the applicable Increase Notice and as of the proposed effective date of such Incremental Term Loan Commitments (and related Incremental Term Loans) or Commitment Increase, (x) all representations and warranties under Article V and the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects as though made on such date (except with respect to any representation or warranty expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date which shall have been true and correct in all material respects as of such specified date), (y) no event shall have occurred and then be continuing which constitutes an Unmatured Default or a Default and (z) the Borrower shall have demonstrated to the Administrative Agent’s reasonable satisfaction that, as of the proposed effective date of the Commitment Increase or Incremental Term Loan Commitments, as the case may be, after giving effect thereto, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are in compliance on a pro forma basis with the covenants contained in Section 6.17 recomputed as of the last day of the most recently ended fiscal quarter of the Borrower for which financial statements are available, as if such Commitment Increase or Incremental Term Loan Commitments, as applicable, had been effective as of the first day of each relevant period for testing such compliance;

(ii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Proposed New Lender or Lender that shall have agreed to provide a commitment in support of such Incremental Term Loans or Commitment Increase shall have executed and delivered a Commitment and Acceptance;

(iii) counsel for the Loan Parties shall have provided to the Administrative Agent supplemental opinions in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;

(iv) the Borrower, the Guarantors and the Proposed New Lenders shall otherwise have executed and delivered such other instruments and documents as may be required under Article IV or that the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably requested in connection with such increase (including, in the case of a tranche of Incremental Term Loans, an amendment to, or amended and restatement of, this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents (an “Incremental Term Loan Amendment”), executed by the Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such Incremental Term Loans, if any, each Proposed New Lender, if any, and the Administrative Agent, which amendment or amendments may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect such Incremental Term Loans in accordance with this Section 2.24), and each Loan Party shall have reaffirmed its obligations, and the Liens granted, under the Loan Documents; and

(v) in the case of a Commitment Increase, the Administrative Agent shall have administered the reallocation of the Outstanding Credit Exposures on the effective date of such increase ratably among the Revolving Lenders (including new Lenders) after giving effect to such increase; provided, that (1) the Borrower hereby agree to compensate the Lenders for all losses, expenses and liabilities incurred by any Lender in connection with the sale or assignment of any Eurodollar Loan resulting from such reallocation on the terms and in the manner set forth in Section 3.3, and (2) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the reallocations effected pursuant to this clause (v).

Upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent to any tranche of Incremental Term Loans or Commitment Increase, the Administrative Agent shall promptly advise the Borrower and each Lender of the effective date thereof (each such effective date, an “Increase Effective Date”). Upon any Increase Effective Date that is supported by a Proposed New Lender, such Proposed New Lender shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender and shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment or other requirement on the part of any Lender to make Incremental Term Loans or increase its Commitment at any time.

ARTICLE III

YIELD PROTECTION; TAXES

3.1 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Advance:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Base Rate for such Interest Period; or

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Eurodollar Base Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Advance for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any request that requests the conversion of any Advance to, or continuation of any Advance as, a Eurodollar Advance shall be ineffective and any such Eurodollar Loan shall be repaid on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) if any request for an Advance requests a Eurodollar Advance such request shall be ineffective, and (iii) if any request for an Advance requests a Eurodollar Advance, such Advance shall be made as an Floating Rate Advance; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such notice affect only one Type of Advances, then the other Type of Advances shall be permitted.

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

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Eurodollar Base Rate) or the LC Issuer;

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

(iii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) Other Connection Taxes on gross or net income, profits or revenue (including value-added or similar Taxes));

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

(b) If any Lender or the LC Issuer determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the LC Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the LC Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Facility LCs held by, such Lender, or the Facility LCs issued by the LC Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or the LC Issuer or such Lender’s or the LC Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the LC Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the LC Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the LC Issuer or such Lender’s or the LC Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or the LC Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the LC Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the LC Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

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

3.3 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of a Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked and is revoked), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.22, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Eurodollar Base Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

3.4 (a) Withholding of Taxes; Gross-Up. Each payment by any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without withholding for any Taxes, unless such withholding is required by any law. If any Withholding Administrative Agent determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it is so required to withhold Taxes, then such Withholding Administrative Agent may so withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, then the amount payable by such Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that, net of such withholding (including such withholding applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section), the applicable Recipient receives the amount it would have received had no such withholding been made.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) Evidence of Payments. Upon the request by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of any Taxes by any Withholding Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority, such Withholding Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return (or relevant portion thereof) reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

(d) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall indemnify each Recipient for any Indemnified Taxes that are paid or payable by such Recipient in connection with any Loan Document (including amounts paid or payable under this Section 3.4(d)) and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this Section 3.4(d) shall be paid within 30 days after the Recipient delivers to any Loan Party a certificate stating the amount of any Indemnified Taxes so paid or payable by such Recipient and describing the basis for the indemnification claim. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error. Such Recipient shall deliver a copy of such certificate to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent for any Taxes (but, in the case of any Indemnified Taxes, only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so) attributable to such Lender that are paid or payable by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The indemnity under this Section 3.4(e) shall be paid within 30 days after the Administrative Agent delivers to the applicable Lender a certificate stating the amount of Taxes so paid or payable by the Administrative Agent. Such certificate shall be conclusive of the amount so paid or payable absent manifest error.

(f) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, any applicable withholding Tax with respect to any payments under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without, or at a reduced rate of, withholding. In addition, any Lender, if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to any withholding (including backup withholding) or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.4(f)(ii)(A) through (E) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Upon the reasonable request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, any Lender shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 3.4(f). If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Lender, such Lender shall promptly (and in any event within 10 days after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify such Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the form or certification if it is legally eligible to do so.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Borrower is a U.S. Person, any Lender with respect to such Borrower shall, if it is legally eligible to do so, deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies reasonably requested by such Borrower and the Administrative Agent) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party hereto, duly completed and executed copies of whichever of the following is applicable:

(A) in the case of a Lender that is a U.S. Person, IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;

(B) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (1) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (2) with respect to any other applicable payments under this Agreement, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(C) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender for whom payments under this Agreement constitute income that is effectively connected with such Lender’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States, IRS Form W-8ECI;

(D) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code both (1) IRS Form W-8BEN and (2) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D (a “U.S. Tax Certificate”) to the effect that such Lender is not (a) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (b) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code (c) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (d) conducting a trade or business in the United States with which the relevant interest payments are effectively connected;

(E) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender that is not the beneficial owner of payments made under this Agreement (including a partnership or a participating Lender) (1) an IRS Form W-8IMY on behalf of itself and (2) the relevant forms prescribed in clauses (A), (B), (C), (D) and (F) of this paragraph (f)(ii) that would be required of each such beneficial owner or partner of such partnership if such beneficial owner or partner were a Lender; provided, however, that if the Lender is a partnership and one or more of its partners are claiming the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, such Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Certificate on behalf of such partners; or

(F) any other form prescribed by law as a basis for claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax together with such supplementary documentation necessary to enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the amount of Tax (if any) required by law to be withheld.

(iii) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Withholding Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Withholding Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Withholding Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Withholding Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 3.4(f)(iii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.4 (including additional amounts paid pursuant to this Section 3.4), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including any Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid to such indemnified party pursuant to the previous sentence (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.4(g), in no event will any indemnified party be required to pay any amount to any indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 3.4(g) if such payment would place such indemnified party in a less favorable position (on a net after-Tax basis) than such indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 3.4(g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.4 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations under any Loan Document.

(i) LC Issuer. For purposes of Section 3.4(e) and (f), the term “Lender” includes any LC Issuer.

3.5. Lender Statements; Survival of Indemnity. To the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate Lending Installation with respect to its Eurodollar Loans to reduce any liability of the Borrower to such Lender under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.4 or to avoid the unavailability of Eurodollar Advances under Section 3.3, so long as such designation is not, in the judgment of such Lender, disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender shall deliver a written statement of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Section 3.1, 3.2 or 3.4. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in connection with a Eurodollar Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender funded its Eurodollar Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the Eurodollar Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the written statement of any Lender shall be payable on demand after receipt by the Borrower of such written statement. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.4 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE V

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders that:

5.1. Existence and Standing. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is a corporation, partnership (in the case of Subsidiaries only), limited liability company or similar entity duly and properly incorporated or organized, as the case may be, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization and has all requisite authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted and where the failure to have such authority would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.2. Authorization and Validity. The Borrower has the power and authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to perform its obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery by the Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by proper corporate (to the extent such concept applies to such entity) proceedings, and the Loan Documents to which the Borrower is a party constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).

5.3. No Conflict; Government Consent. Neither the execution and delivery by the Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, nor the consummation of the transactions therein contemplated, nor compliance with the provisions thereof will violate (i) any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) the Borrower’s or any Subsidiary’s articles or certificate of incorporation, partnership agreement, certificate of partnership, articles or certificate of organization, by-laws, or operating or other management agreement, as the case may be, or (iii) the provisions of any indenture, instrument or other material agreement to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or is subject, or by which it, or its Property, is bound, or conflict with or constitute a default thereunder, or result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien in, of or on the Property of the Borrower or a Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, instrument or other material agreement. No order, consent, adjudication, approval, license, authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, or other action in respect of any governmental or public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, which has not been obtained by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, is required to be obtained by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the borrowings under this Agreement, the payment and performance by the Borrower of the Obligations or the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents.

5.4. Financial Statements. The consolidated financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 heretofore delivered to the Lenders were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in effect on the date such statements were prepared and fairly present the consolidated financial condition and operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries at such date and the consolidated results of their operations for the period then ended.

5.5. Material Adverse Change. Since June 30, 2011 there has been no change in the business, Property, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.6. Taxes. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have filed all United States federal tax returns and all other material tax returns which are required to be filed and have paid all taxes due pursuant to said returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except such taxes, if any, (i) as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with Agreement Accounting Principles or (ii) as to which the aggregate amount of potential tax liability is not material to the Borrower and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. The United States income tax returns of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries have been audited by the Internal Revenue Service through the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. No tax liens have been filed and no material claims are being asserted with respect to any such taxes. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in respect of any taxes or other governmental charges are adequate.

5.7. Litigation and Contingent Obligations. There is no litigation, arbitration, governmental investigation, proceeding or inquiry pending or, to the knowledge of any of their officers, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or which seeks to prevent, enjoin or delay the making of any Credit Extensions. Other than any liability incident to any litigation, arbitration or proceeding which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Borrower has no material Contingent Obligations not provided for or disclosed in the financial statements referred to in Section 5.4.

5.8. Subsidiaries. Schedule 1 contains an accurate list of all Subsidiaries of the Borrower as of the date of this Agreement, setting forth their respective jurisdictions of organization and the percentage of their respective Capital Stock owned by the Borrower or other Subsidiaries. All of the issued and outstanding shares of Capital Stock of such Subsidiaries have been (to the extent such concepts are relevant with respect to such ownership interests) duly authorized and issued and are fully paid and non-assessable.

5.9. ERISA. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all projected benefit obligations under each Plan (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $40,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of such Plan, and the present value of all projected benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $40,000,000 the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans.

5.10. Accuracy of Information. No information, exhibit or report furnished by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to the Administrative Agent or to any Lender in connection with the negotiation of, or compliance with, the Loan Documents contained any material misstatement of fact or omitted to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading.

5.11. Regulations T, U and X. Margin Stock constitutes less than 25% of the value of those assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries which are subject to any limitation on sale, pledge, or other restriction hereunder.

5.12. Material Agreements. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any charter or other corporate restriction which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in (i) any agreement to which it is a party, which default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) any agreement or instrument evidencing or governing Indebtedness in an outstanding amount equal to or exceeding $15,000,000 in the aggregate.

5.13. Compliance With Laws. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have complied with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, orders and restrictions of any domestic or foreign government or any instrumentality or agency thereof having jurisdiction over the conduct of their respective businesses or the ownership of their respective Property except for any failure to comply with any of the foregoing which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.14. Ownership of Properties. On the date of this Agreement, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries will have good title, free of all Liens other than those permitted by Section 6.14, to all of the Property and assets reflected in the Borrower’s most recent consolidated financial statements provided to the Administrative Agent as owned by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

5.15. Plan Assets; Prohibited Transactions. The Borrower is not an entity deemed to hold “plan assets” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101 of an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) which is subject to Title I of ERISA or any plan (within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code), and neither the execution of this Agreement nor the making of Credit Extensions hereunder gives rise to a prohibited transaction within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

5.16. Environmental Matters. In the ordinary course of its business, the officers of the Borrower consider the effect of Environmental Laws on the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, in the course of which they identify and evaluate potential risks and liabilities accruing to the Borrower due to Environmental Laws. On the basis of this consideration, the Borrower has concluded that Environmental Laws cannot reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary has received any notice to the effect that its operations are not in material compliance with any of the requirements of applicable Environmental Laws or are the subject of any federal or state investigation evaluating whether any remedial action is needed to respond to a release of any toxic or hazardous waste or substance into the environment, which non-compliance or remedial action could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

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

In connection with the delivery of each such Guaranty, the Borrower will also deliver or caused to be delivered to the Administrative Agent such resolutions and related corporate documents and opinions of counsel reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection therewith. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Borrower may request that any Guarantor be released from its Guaranty, and the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized on behalf of all the Lenders, without the necessity of any further consent from any Lender, to release any such Guarantor from its Guaranty, provided that before and after giving effect to such release (and giving effect to any sale of the Guarantor or its assets if such release is requested in connection with such a sale) the Borrower is in compliance the terms of this Section 6.10 and all other terms of the Agreement and no Default or Unmatured Default exists.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Subsidiary may liquidate or dissolve if the Borrower determines in good faith that such liquidation or dissolution is in the best interests of the Borrower and is not materially disadvantageous to the Lenders and the assets of such Subsidiary that is liquidated or dissolved are transferred to a Loan Party.

ARTICLE VIII

ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES

8.1. Acceleration; Facility LC Collateral Account. (i) If any Default described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 occurs with respect to the Borrower, the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligation and power of the LC Issuer to issue Facility LCs shall automatically terminate and the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer or any Lender and the Borrower will be and become thereby unconditionally obligated, without any further notice, act or demand, to pay to the Administrative Agent an amount in immediately available funds, which funds shall be held in the Facility LC Collateral Account, equal to the difference of (x) 105% of the amount of LC Obligations at such time, less (y) the amount on deposit in the Facility LC Collateral Account at such time which is free and clear of all rights and claims of third parties and has not been applied against the Obligations (such difference, the “Collateral Shortfall Amount”). If any other Default occurs, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of or at the request of the Required Lenders (a) may terminate or suspend the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder and the obligation and power of the LC Issuer to issue Facility LCs, or declare the Obligations to be due and payable, or both, whereupon the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower hereby expressly waives, and (b) upon notice to the Borrower and in addition to the continuing right to demand payment of all amounts payable under this Agreement, make demand on the Borrower to pay, and the Borrower will, forthwith upon such demand and without any further notice or act, pay to the Administrative Agent the Collateral Shortfall Amount, which funds shall be deposited in the Facility LC Collateral Account. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, it is understood that, other than with respect to a Default described in Section 7.6 of 7.7, (1) no Lender has the right to individually terminate its obligations to make Loans hereunder (such right of termination residing with the Administrative Agent as provided above), and (2) no Lender has the right to declare its Loans due and payable prior to maturity (such right to declare the Loans due and payable residing with the Administrative Agent as provided above).

(ii) If at any time while any Default is continuing or at any time on or after the Facility Termination Date while any Obligations, including any Facility LCs, are outstanding, the Administrative Agent determines that the Collateral Shortfall Amount at such time is greater than zero, the Administrative Agent may make demand on the Borrower to pay, and the Borrower will, forthwith upon such demand and without any further notice or act, pay to the Administrative Agent the Collateral Shortfall Amount, which funds shall be deposited in the Facility LC Collateral Account.

(iii) The Administrative Agent may at any time or from time to time after funds are deposited in the Facility LC Collateral Account, apply such funds to the payment of the Obligations and any other amounts as shall from time to time have become due and payable by the Borrower to the Lenders or the LC Issuer under the Loan Documents.

(iv) At any time while any Default is continuing, neither the Borrower nor any Person claiming on behalf of or through the Borrower shall have any right to withdraw any of the funds held in the Facility LC Collateral Account. After all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Aggregate Commitment has been terminated, any funds remaining in the Facility LC Collateral Account shall be returned by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower or paid to whomever may be legally entitled thereto at such time.

(v) If, within 30 days after acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations or termination of the obligations of the Lenders to make Loans and the obligation and power of the LC Issuer to issue Facility LCs hereunder as a result of any Default (other than any Default as described in Section 7.6 or 7.7 with respect to the Borrower) and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the Obligations due shall have been obtained or entered, the Required Lenders (in their sole discretion) shall so direct, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the Borrower, rescind and annul such acceleration and/or termination.

8.2. Amendments

8.2.1. Except as provided in Section 2.24 with respect to an Incremental Term Loan Amendment, and subject to the provisions of this Article VIII, the Required Lenders (or the Administrative Agent with the consent in writing of the Required Lenders) and the Borrower may enter into agreements supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding or modifying any provisions to the Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or the Borrower hereunder or waiving any Default hereunder; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement shall, without the consent of all of the Lenders:

(i)

Extend the final maturity of any Loan, or extend the expiry date of any Facility LC to a date after the Facility Termination Date or forgive all or any portion of the principal amount thereof, any accrued interest or fees or any Reimbursement Obligation related thereto, or reduce the Applicable Margin or the Applicable Fee Rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon or Reimbursement Obligations related thereto.

(ii)

Extend the Facility Termination Date, or reduce the amount or extend the payment date for, the mandatory payments required under Section 2.2, or increase the amount of the Aggregate Commitment (other than as allowed under Section 2.24), the Commitment of any Lender (other than as allowed under Section 2.24) hereunder or the commitment to issue Facility LCs, or permit the Borrower to assign its rights under this Agreement.

(iii)

Amend this Section 8.2 or Section 2.24 or reduce the percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders (it being understood that, solely with the consent of the parties prescribed by Section 2.24 to be parties to an Incremental Term Loan Amendment, Incremental Term Loans may be included in the determination of Required Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Commitments and the Revolving Loans are included on the Effective Date).

(iv)

Release the Borrower hereunder or, unless otherwise allowed under this Agreement as of the date hereof, release any Guarantor which is a Significant Subsidiary under any Guaranty.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) no amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Administrative Agent shall be effective without the written consent of the Administrative Agent, (b) no amendment of any provisions relating to the LC Issuer shall be effective without the written consent of the LC Issuer, (c) no amendment of any provision of this Agreement relating to the Swing Line Lender or any Swing Line Loans shall be effective without the written consent of the Swing Line Lender, (d) the Administrative Agent may waive payment of the fee required under Section 12.1 without obtaining the consent of any other party to this Agreement; (e) any Lender’s Commitment may be increased or decreased with the written consent of such Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower; (f) the above clauses (i) through (iii) shall not be construed as prohibiting any (x) amendment or other modification permitted under Section 2.24 (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, any increase in any Commitment of any Lender shall require the written consent of such Lender) or (y) “amend-and-extend” transaction that extends the Facility Termination Date only for those Lenders that agree to such an extension (which extension may include increased pricing and fees for such extending Lenders, and which extension shall not apply to those Lenders that do not approve such extension), and (g) any Person may be added as a Lender hereunder with the written consent of such Person, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and subject to the execution of such supplemental agreements and documents required by the Administrative Agent.

8.2.2 Notwithstanding Section 8.2.1, the Commitment Schedule may be amended by the Administrative Agent to reflect any changes in the Commitments permitted under the terms of this Agreement, and shall be deemed automatically amended each time the Administrative Agent sends a revised Commitment Schedule to the Lenders and the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement to reflect changes allowed hereunder.

8.2.3 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Defaulting Lenders shall not be entitled to vote (whether to consent or to withhold its consent) with respect to any amendment, modification, termination or waiver and, for purposes of determining the Required Lenders, the Commitments and the Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall be disregarded except as provided in Section 2.23(b).

8.2.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to each relevant Loan Document (i) to add one or more credit facilities (in addition to the Incremental Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.24) to this Agreement and to permit extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Revolving Loans, Incremental Term Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (y) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and Lenders.

8.2.5 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Borrower only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents as may be reasonably necessary or advisable to cure any error, ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency in order to more accurately reflect the intent of the parties, provided that (x) prior written notice of such proposed cure shall be given to the Lenders and (y) the Required Lenders do not object to such cure in writing to the Administrative Agent within two Business Days of such notice.

8.3. Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lenders, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of a Credit Extension notwithstanding the existence of a Default or the inability of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to such Credit Extension shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lenders required pursuant to Section 8.2, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan

Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer and the Lenders until the Obligations have been paid in full.

L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of 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.

ARTICLE X

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Each of the Lenders and the LC Issuer hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf, and on behalf of the Lenders, including execution of the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

The bank 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 such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 8.2), and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as 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 with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 8.2) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection with any Loan Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the Collateral or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or its counsel.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may from time to time change any such designations and add any Affiliates of the Administrative Agent as parties hereto for purposes of being performing the duties to be performed by the Administrative Agent hereunder.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the LC Issuer and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right (with the consent of the Borrower unless a Default has occurred and is continuing (any such consent of the Borrower not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)), to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (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 LC Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between such Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.6 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

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

None of the Lenders identified in this Agreement as a Syndication Agent or a Documentation Agent, shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Lenders shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Lender. Each Lender hereby makes the same acknowledgments with respect to the relevant Lenders in their respective capacities as a Syndication Agent or a Documentation Agent, as applicable, as it makes with respect to the Administrative Agent in the preceding paragraphs.

Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights of any Lender, including the LC Issuer, in accordance with the Agreement, the proceeds of which are applied in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and subject to the agreements in the second succeeding paragraph, each Lender agrees that it will not take any action, nor institute any actions or proceedings, against the Borrower or other Loan Party with respect to any Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders or, as may be provided in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, with the consent of the Administrative Agent.

The Lenders, including the LC Issuer, are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Administrative Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender. The Administrative Agent shall have the exclusive right on behalf of the Lenders to enforce the payment of the principal of and interest on any Loan or any Facility LC after the date such principal or interest has become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

The acknowledgments and agreements of any Lender in this Article X shall be deemed to be made by such Lender on behalf of itself and its Affiliates. For purposes of such acknowledgements and agreements, the term “Lender” shall include the LC Issuer and the Swing Line Lender.

ARTICLE XI

SETOFF; RATABLE PAYMENTS

11.1. Setoff. In addition to, and without limitation of, any rights of the Lenders under applicable law, if the Borrower becomes insolvent, however evidenced, or any Default occurs, any and all deposits (including all account balances, whether provisional or final and whether or not collected or available) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender to or for the credit or account of the Borrower may be offset and applied toward the payment of the Obligations owing to such Lender, whether or not the Obligations, or any part thereof, shall then be due.

11.2. Ratable Payments. If any Lender, whether by setoff or otherwise, has payment made to it upon its Outstanding Credit Exposure (other than payments received pursuant to Section 3.2, 3.3 or 3.4) in a greater proportion than that received by any other Lender, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to purchase a portion of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure held by the other Lenders so that after such purchase each Lender will hold its Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure. If any Lender, whether in connection with setoff or amounts which might be subject to setoff or otherwise, receives collateral or other protection for its Obligations or such amounts which may be subject to setoff, such Lender agrees, promptly upon demand, to take such action necessary such that all Lenders share in the benefits of such collateral ratably in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure. In case any such payment is disturbed by legal process, or otherwise, appropriate further adjustments shall be made.

ARTICLE XII

SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS

12.1. Successors and Assigns (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of the LC Issuer that issues any Facility LC), except that (i) no Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. 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 (including any Affiliate of the LC Issuer that issues any Facility LC), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (other than an Ineligible Assignee) 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) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:

(A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if a Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; provided, further, that, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to an assignment unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof;

(B) the Administrative Agent; and

As used herein, “Ineligible Assignee” means a (a) Defaulting Lender, (b) natural person or (c) company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person or relative(s) thereof; provided that, such company, investment vehicle or trust shall not constitute an Ineligible Assignee if it (x) has not been established for the primary purpose of acquiring any Loans or Commitments, (y) is managed by a professional advisor, who is not such natural person or a relative thereof, having significant experience in the business of making or purchasing commercial loans, and (z) has assets greater than $25,000,000 and a significant part of its activities consist of making or purchasing commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business; provided that upon the occurrence of a Default, any Person (other than a Lender) shall be an Ineligible Assignees if after giving effect any proposed assignment to such Person, such Person would hold more than 25% of the then outstanding Aggregate Outstanding Credit Exposure or Commitments, as the case may be.

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Type, the amount of the Commitment or 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) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(B) 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, provided that this clause shall not be construed to prohibit the assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of one Type of Commitments or Loans;

(C) 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;

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more Credit Contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Loan Parties and their related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws; and

(E) unless a Default exists, the assignee may not be a Competitor.

For the purposes of this Section 12.1(b), the term “Approved Fund” has the following meaning:

“Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto 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 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 and 10.7). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 12.1 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations 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, the LC Issuer and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the LC Issuer and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the LC Issuer and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; and (D) unless a Default exists under Section 7.2, 7.6 or 7.7, the Participant may not be a Competitor. 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 clauses (a)—(e) the first proviso to Section 8.2.1 that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.2, ..3.3 and 3.4 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.4(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.4(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.18 and 2.19 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.2 or 3.4, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Facility LCs or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Facility LC or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Until adjusted for first time based on the Leverage Ratio as of the end of the first full fiscal quarter ending after the Effective Date, the Applicable Margin and Applicable Fee Rate will be set at Level I. Thereafter, the Applicable Margin and the Applicable Fee Rate will vary with the Borrower’s Leverage Ratio as set forth above.

For the purposes of this Schedule, the following terms have the following meanings, subject to the final paragraph of this Schedule:

“Financials” means the annual or quarterly financial statements of the Borrower delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(i) or (ii).

“Level I Status” exists at any date if, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Borrower referred to in the most recent Financials, the Leverage Ratio is less than 0.50 to 1.00.

“Level II Status” exists at any date if, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Borrower referred to in the most recent Financials, (i) the Borrower has not qualified for Level I Status and (ii) the Leverage Ratio is less than 1.00 to 1.00.

“Level III Status” exists at any date if, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Borrower referred to in the most recent Financials, (i) the Borrower has not qualified for Level I Status or Level II Status and (ii) the Leverage Ratio is less than 1.50 to 1.00.

“Level IV Status” exists at any date if, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Borrower referred to in the most recent Financials, (i) the Borrower has not qualified for Level I Status, Level II Status or Level III Status and (ii) the Leverage Ratio is less than 2.00 to 1.00.

“Level V Status” exists at any date if, as of the last day of the fiscal quarter of the Borrower referred to in the most recent Financials, (i) the Borrower has not qualified for Level I Status, Level II Status, Level III Status or Level IV Status and (ii) the Leverage Ratio is less than 2.50 to 1.00.

“Level VI Status” exists at any date if the Borrower has not qualified for Level I Status, Level II Status, Level III Status, Level IV Status or Level V Status.

“Status” means either Level I Status, Level II Status, Level III Status, Level IV Status, Level V Status or Level VI Status.

The Applicable Margin and Applicable Fee Rate shall be determined in accordance with the foregoing table based on the Borrower’s Status as reflected in the then most recent Financials. Adjustments, if any, to the Applicable Margin or Applicable Fee Rate shall be effective 50 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year and 95 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower. If the Borrower fails to deliver the Financials to the Administrative Agent at the time required pursuant to Section 6.1 or any Default has occurred and is continuing, then the Applicable Margin and Applicable Fee Rate shall be set at Level VI Status (for the avoidance of doubt, any such setting of the Applicable Margin and Applicable Fee Rate at Level VI Status is in addition to any actions under Section 2.12 of the Credit Agreement).

EXHIBIT A

ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION

This Assignment and Assumption (the “Assignment and Assumption”) is dated as of the Effective Date set forth below and is entered into by and between [Insert name of Assignor] (the “Assignor”) and [Insert name of Assignee] (the “Assignee”).

FORM OF OPINION

April [ ], 2012

JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.,

as Administrative Agent and LC Issuer

And the Lenders party to the Credit Agreement referred to below

Re:	Credit Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I have acted as counsel to (i) Lancaster Colony Corporation, an Ohio corporation (the “Company” or “Borrower”), (ii) T. Marzetti Company, an Ohio corporation (“Marzetti”), (iii) New York Frozen Foods, Inc., an Ohio corporation (“Frozen”), (iv) The Quality Bakery Company, Inc., an Ohio corporation (“Quality;” Marzetti, Frozen and Quality each, an “Ohio Guarantor” and collectively, the “Ohio Guarantors”), (v) Marzetti Frozen Pasta, Inc., an Iowa corporation (the “Iowa Guarantor”), and (vi) Sister Schubert’s Homemade Rolls, Inc., an Alabama corporation (“Alabama Guarantor” and together with the Ohio Guarantors and the Iowa Guarantor, the “Guarantors” and each, a “Guarantor”) in connection with the Credit Agreement as of even date herewith (the “Credit Agreement”) among Borrower, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., a national banking association (“JPMCB”), and the other lenders party thereto as lenders (the “Lenders”), and JPMCB in its separate capacities as LC Issuer and as Administrative Agent (the “Agent”).

This opinion is provided to you at the request of the Lenders pursuant to Section 4.01(v) of the Credit Agreement. Unless otherwise defined in this opinion letter, capitalized terms in this letter have the meanings given to those terms in the Credit Agreement.

In connection with my opinions expressed below, I have reviewed the following documents (collectively, the “Loan Documents”) to which one or more of Borrower and the Guarantors is a party, each dated as of even date herewith unless otherwise noted:

(i)

Credit Agreement;

(ii)

the Notes, if any, executed by Borrower, as described in Schedule 1 hereto; and

(iii)

each Guaranty executed by the Guarantors.

In connection with my opinions expressed in Paragraph 1 and 2 below, I have reviewed a copy of (i) the articles of incorporation or certificate of incorporation, as applicable, of Borrower and each Guarantor, each certified by the Ohio Secretary of State, Iowa Secretary of State or Alabama Secretary of State, as applicable, as of a recent date, and (ii) the code of regulations or bylaws, as applicable, of Borrower and each Guarantor, provided to me by Borrower and each Guarantor, the foregoing items described in clauses (i) and (ii), being the “Organizational Documents”), (iii) resolutions of Borrower and each Guarantor, each as to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, (iv) incumbency certificates as to Borrower and each Guarantor, as to the incumbency of certain officers thereof, and (v) the good standing certificates of Borrower and each Guarantor issued by the Ohio Secretary of State, Iowa Secretary of State, or Alabama Secretary of State, as applicable, as of a recent date.

As to matters of fact pertinent to my opinions expressed below, I have relied without independent investigation upon the factual representations and warranties of Borrower and the Guarantors contained in the Loan Documents and the related Schedules attached thereto, upon factual information provided to me by Borrower or the Guarantors, as applicable, and upon those facts that I have assumed below to be true. As used in this opinion, “my knowledge,” “known to me” or words of similar import means my actual knowledge, without investigation or inquiry other than as set forth in this opinion. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, please be advised that in connection with my opinion set forth in Paragraph 6, I have not conducted searches of the dockets of any jurisdiction to determine the existence of any actions or proceedings, and no such search should be inferred.

In connection with my opinions, I have assumed:

All natural person executing documents have sufficient capacity to do so;

Other than with respect to Borrower and the Guarantors, in each case below, each of the Loan Documents has been duly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of each of the parties thereto, is the valid and binding obligation of each such party, and is enforceable against each such party in accordance with its terms;

That all original documents reviewed by me are accurate and complete and that all documents reviewed by me as copies conform in all respects to authentic original documents and that there has been no change to any of the Loan Documents;

All books and records of Borrower and the Guarantors that I have reviewed are accurate and complete;

That all signatures other than the signature of Borrower and the Guarantors are genuine;

That all parties other than Borrower and the Guarantors have, and at all material times have had, full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform each of the Loan Documents to which they are parties;

That execution and delivery of the Loan Documents by all parties thereto other than Borrower and the Guarantors do not violate provisions of statutory law applicable to such parties;

That there has not been any mutual mistake of fact or misunderstanding, or any fraud, duress, or undue influence;

That all parties have complied with any requirements of good faith, fair dealing or conscionability;

That there are no agreements or understandings among the parties other than the Loan Documents, and no prior course of dealing or usage of trade that would define, supplement or qualify the Loan Documents;

The Organizational Documents and the good standing and full force and effect certificates of Borrower and the Guarantors have not changed since the dates of the documents and certificates that I have reviewed, and each Organizational Document and such good standing or full force and effect certificate remains in effect as of the date of this opinion; and

Each of the Credit Parties has acted and will continue to act in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner in the exercise of any remedies with respect to the Loan Documents.

As to all matters of fact material to my opinions, I have relied on the foregoing assumptions, upon the representations and warranties of each of Borrower and the Guarantors contained in the Loan Documents, and upon factual information that I have assumed below to be true. I make no representation, and express no opinion, as to the factual accuracy of the representations and warranties of the parties contained in the Loan Documents and no such representation or opinion should be inferred.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications, exceptions and limitations set forth below, I am of the opinion that:

1. Borrower is a corporation, existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of Ohio. Each Ohio Guarantor is a corporation, existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of Ohio. The Iowa Guarantor is a corporation, existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of Iowa. The Alabama Guarantor is a corporation, existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of Alabama. Borrower and each Guarantor has the power and authority under its Organizational Documents and applicable law to conduct its business as presently conducted, to execute and deliver the Loan Documents to which it is a party, and to perform its agreements in the Loan Documents to which it is a party.

2. Execution and delivery of the applicable Loan Documents by Borrower and each Guarantor, as applicable, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and each of the Loan Documents has been duly executed and delivered by Borrower and each Guarantor, as applicable.

3. Each of the Loan Documents is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the applicable Borrower or the Guarantor party thereto, and is enforceable against each such Borrower and Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as limited or qualified by the comments, limitations and qualifications set forth herein.

4. Execution and delivery by Borrower and each of the Guarantors of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, and the performance by Borrower and each of the Guarantors of its obligations contained in the Loan Documents to which it is a party do not: (a) as to Borrower and each Guarantor, violate its respective Organizational Documents, (b) breach or otherwise violate any court order known to me naming such Borrower or Guarantor, (c) violate any applicable provisions of statutory law or published regulations of governmental authority that in my experience normally is applicable to general business corporations or other entities in connection with loans of the type contemplated by the Loan Documents, (d) violate any agreement of such Borrower or Guarantors for indebtedness for borrowed money in excess of the original principal amount of U.S.$15,000,000 (“Material Indebtedness”), or (e) pursuant to the Organizational Documents or any agreement for Material Indebtedness, result in, or require the creation of, a lien in favor of any person against Borrower or a Guarantor.

5. No consents or approvals of, and no filings (other than the filing of the Credit Agreement after the Effective Date with the SEC on Form 8-K) or registrations with, any governmental authority on the part of any Borrower or Guarantor are necessary in connection with the execution and delivery by any such Borrower or Guarantor of the Loan Documents to which it is a party or the performance by any such Borrower or Guarantor of its respective obligations under such Loan Documents.

6. I hereby confirm to you that to my knowledge, other than as identified on Schedule 2 hereto there is no action or proceeding against any Borrower or Guarantor, pending or overtly threatened in writing, before any court, governmental agency or arbitrator that: (a) seeks to affect the enforceability of any Loan Document, or (b) seeks monetary compensatory damages in excess of $15,000,000, plus costs, expenses and fees that are not covered by insurance; provided that I express no opinion as to the amount at issue in such matters.

My opinions expressed herein are subject to the following qualifications, limitations and comments:

A. The enforceability of the obligations of Borrower and the Guarantors under the applicable Loan Documents may be limited or affected by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other statutes or rules of law affecting creditors’ rights generally.

B. The enforceability of the obligations of Borrower and the Guarantors under the applicable Loan Documents is subject to general principles of equity (whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity). I express no opinion as to the availability of equitable relief, including, without limitation, specific performance or injunctive relief.

C. Certain rights, remedies and waivers contained in the Loan Documents may be unenforceable in whole or in part. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, I express no opinion as to the enforceability of provisions (i) purporting to waive constitutional or statutory rights; (ii) providing for indemnification by Borrower or the Guarantors of any party for losses arising from that party’s negligence or willful misconduct; (iii) providing for waiver of service of process or designation of a particular manner of service of process; or (iv) waivers of notice. The inclusion of such rights and remedies, however, does not invalidate the Loan Documents as a whole, and although I do not know the significance the Agent or the Lenders attach to any particular right or remedy contained in any Loan Document, in my judgment the Loan Documents contain sufficient rights and remedies for the practical realization of the benefits purported to be provided thereby, subject to the qualifications stated elsewhere in this opinion.

D. I express no opinion as to any matter that would require a financial, mathematical or accounting calculation or determination.

E. Various acts may be required in connection with the enforcement of remedies contained in the Loan Documents. My opinion does not extend to any such acts.

F. I express no opinion as to title or perfection with respect to any real or personal property.

G. I express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provision of any Loan Document which purports to limit the ability of a court to decide the extent to which any portion of such Loan Document determined to be invalid may be severed from such Loan Document.

H. I express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provision of any Loan Document providing for the indemnification, release or exculpation of any party insofar as such provisions may require indemnification, release or exculpation for matters that violate statutory duties or public policy, including in relation to the offer, issue or sale or distribution of securities or criminal violations.

I. I express no opinion as to any provision in any Loan Document that seeks to preserve the solvency of any guarantor, pledgor or grantor by purporting to limit the amount of the liability of, and/or provide rights of contribution in favor of, such guarantor, pledgor or grantor.

J. The opinion expressed in Clause 1 hereof as to the good standing of Borrower and each Guarantor is (i) given solely on the basis of the certificates of good standing issued by the Governmental Authorities identified on Exhibit 1 hereto, and speaks only as to the date of such certificate and not as of the date hereof and (ii) is limited to the meaning ascribed to such certificates by such Governmental Authorities and applicable law.

K. My opinions expressed above are limited to (i) the law of the State of Ohio, (ii) the statutes of the State of Iowa comprising the general corporation law as contained in standard statutory compilations, (iii) the statutes of the State of Alabama comprising the general corporation law as contained in standard statutory compilations, (iv) the federal laws of the United States of America, each in effect on the date hereof, and, (v) specifically, to the presently-existing statutes of Ohio and the reported decisions of the Ohio and the federal courts. I express no opinion as to the law of any other jurisdiction. To the extent that any agreement that I have reviewed is by its terms governed by the internal law of a jurisdiction other than the state of Ohio, or does not state by which law it is governed, I have assumed that the internal law of the state of Ohio would nevertheless apply. I express no opinion as to any local laws or ordinances. I express no opinion as to any environmental laws or state or federal securities laws. I undertake no obligation to advise you of any facts that come to our attention after the date hereof, or any change in fact or in applicable law, or to supplement this opinion in any respect.

My opinions expressed above may be relied upon by the Agent and the Lenders and by their respective successors and assigns permitted under the Credit Agreement, in each case only in connection with the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents. It may not be relied upon for any other purpose and may not be relied upon by any other person for any purpose whatsoever, without our prior written consent.

Very truly yours,
