Section 2.01. The Commitments.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Lender severally (and not jointly) agrees, during the Availability Period (i) to make, Convert and Continue Dollar Loans to the Company as the Company may request, and (ii) to make and Continue Foreign Currency Loans to the Company or any Foreign Borrower as the Company or such Foreign Borrower may request; provided, however, that in each case: (A) for any Lender, the sum of (1) the aggregate LC Exposure of such Lender, (2) the aggregate principal amount of all Dollar Loans made by such Lender, and

(3) the Equivalent Amount of the aggregate principal amount of all Foreign Currency Loans made by such Lender, shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment at any time, (B) the sum of (1) the aggregate LC Exposure of all Lenders, (2) the aggregate principal amount of all Dollar Loans made by all Lenders, (3) the Equivalent Amount of the aggregate principal amount of all Foreign Currency Loans made by all Lenders, and (4) the aggregate principal amount of all Competitive Loans made by all Lenders, shall not exceed the combined Commitments at any time, and (C) the Equivalent Amount of the aggregate principal amount of all Foreign Currency Loans made by all Lenders shall not exceed the Foreign Currency Limit at any time. Subject to the foregoing and other terms and conditions hereof, Committed Loans may be Borrowed, prepaid and reborrowed as set forth herein without premium or penalty. The Borrower may Convert a Dollar LIBOR Loan to a Base Rate Loan or a Base Rate Loan to a Dollar LIBOR Loan upon request, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Borrower may not Convert a Dollar Loan to a Foreign Currency Loan, a Foreign Currency Loan to a Dollar Loan or a Loan in one Foreign Currency to a Loan in any other Foreign Currency. Each Competitive Loan shall be made in accordance with Section 2.03. The available Commitments also may be utilized by the Company to obtain Letters of Credit in accordance with Section 2.11.

(b) Committed Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more loan accounts or records maintained by such Lender in the Ordinary Course of Business. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, such Lender’s Committed Loans may be evidenced by one or more Committed Loan Notes, instead of or in addition to loan accounts. (Each such Lender may endorse on the schedules annexed to its Committed Loan Note the date, amount and maturity of its Committed Loans and payments with respect thereto.) Such loan accounts, records or Notes shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of such Committed Loans and payments thereon. Any failure so to record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of any Credit Party to pay any amount owing with respect to the Committed Loans.

(c) Unless the Administrative Agent and the Requisite Lenders otherwise consent, Loans with no more than 15 different Interest Periods shall be outstanding at any one time; provided that for the purposes of this sentence only, “Loans” shall mean all Loans outstanding under this Agreement.

(d) The Company may designate one or more Subsidiaries to become Foreign Borrowers for purposes of receiving Foreign Currency Loans, provided that, (i) such Subsidiary is, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, wholly-owned by the Company, (ii) such Subsidiary is neither organized nor domiciled in any State of the United States of America or in the District of Columbia, (iii) the Administrative Agent shall receive a duly executed Foreign Borrower Joinder Agreement, together with such organization documentation, certificates, opinions and other documentation and information, as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to evidence compliance with the conditions to the effectiveness of

such Foreign Borrower Joinder Agreement described in Section 4.03. Foreign Currency Loans shall be Borrowed and Continued as Euromarket Funded unless the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Company or the applicable Foreign Borrower, as the case may be, agree that such Foreign Currency Loans shall be Locally Funded.

Section 2.02. Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Committed Loans.

(a) A Borrower may irrevocably request a Borrowing, Conversion or Continuation of Committed Loans in a Minimum Amount by delivering a duly completed Request for Extension of Credit by Requisite Notice to the Administrative Agent not later than the Requisite Time. All Borrowings, Conversions or Continuations in respect of Dollar Loans shall constitute requests for Base Rate Loans and all Borrowings or Continuations in respect of Foreign Currency Loans shall constitute requests for Foreign Currency Loans with an Interest Period of one month, in each case unless properly and timely otherwise designated as set forth in the prior sentence. In the case of Dollar LIBOR Loans, each Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower) whether such Lender, in its sole discretion, consents to funding a Dollar LIBOR Loan for such requested Interest Period(s) for such Borrowing. If any Lender does not so consent, Dollar LIBOR Loans shall not be available for such Interest Period(s) for such Borrowing.

(b) Each Committed Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Committed Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments. Promptly following receipt of a Request for Extension of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of its Pro Rata Share thereof by Requisite Notice. Each Lender shall make the funds for its Committed Loan available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than the Requisite Time on the Business Day specified in such Request for Extension of Credit. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV, all funds so received shall be made available to Borrower.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the applicable Borrower and the Lenders of Adjusted IBOR applicable to any IBOR Loan upon determination of same.

(d) No Loans other than Base Rate Loans may be requested or continued during the existence of an Event of Default. During the existence of an Event of Default described in clause (a), (e), (f), (g), or (i) of Section 8.01, the Requisite Lenders may determine that (i) any or all of the then outstanding Dollar Loans that are Dollar LIBOR Loans shall be Converted to Base Rate Loans and/or (ii) any or all of the outstanding Foreign Currency Loans with an Interest Period greater than one month shall be replaced by Foreign Currency Loans with an Interest Period of one month. Such Conversion or replacement shall be effective upon notice to the applicable Borrower from the Administrative Agent and shall continue so long as such Event of Default continues

to exist, or in the case of Foreign Currency Loans, the earlier expiration of the applicable Interest Period.

(e) If a Committed Loan is to be made on the same date that another Committed Loan is due and payable, the applicable Borrower or the Lenders, as the case may be, shall make available to the Administrative Agent the net amount of funds giving effect to both such Committed Loans and the effect for purposes of this Agreement shall be the same as if separate transfers of funds had been made with respect to each such Committed Loan.

(f) The failure of any Lender to make any Committed Loan on any date shall not relieve any other Lender of any obligation to make a Committed Loan on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Committed Loan.

Section 2.03. Competitive Loans.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period, each Lender may in its sole and absolute discretion make Competitive Loans to the Company in such principal amounts as the Company may request; provided, however, that the sum of (i) the aggregate LC Exposure of all Lenders, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all Dollar Loans made by all Lenders, (iii) the Equivalent Amount at any time of the aggregate principal amount of all Foreign Currency Loans made by all Lenders, and (iv) the aggregate principal amount of all Competitive Loans, shall not exceed at any time the combined Commitments; provided, further, that the outstanding Competitive Loans made by any Lender may exceed its Commitment. The Competitive Loans shall be deemed to utilize the combined Commitments by an amount equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount thereof.

(b) The Company may irrevocably request Competitive Loans in a Competitive Loan Minimum Amount therefor by delivering a duly completed Competitive Bid Request by Requisite Notice not later than the Competitive Loan Requisite Time therefor. Each Competitive Bid Request shall state whether a Competitive Bid is requested on the basis of a fixed interest rate (an “Absolute Rate Bid”) or on the basis of a margin above or below Adjusted Dollar LIBOR (a “LIBOR Margin Bid”). The Company may not request Competitive Bids for more than three maturities nor request more than one type of Competitive Loan in a single Competitive Bid Request. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees, in its sole and absolute discretion, the Company may not submit a Competitive Bid Request if it has submitted another Competitive Bid Request within the prior five Business Days.

(c) No Competitive Bid Request shall be made for an Absolute Rate Bid with a maturity of less than 14 days or more than 180 days, for a LIBOR Margin Bid with a maturity other than one, two, three or six months, or in any case with a maturity

date subsequent to the Maturity Date. No more than ten different maturities for Competitive Loans may be outstanding at any time.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of a Competitive Bid Request by delivering a written copy thereof to the Lenders. Each Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, bid or not bid on all or a portion of the Competitive Loans requested in such Competitive Bid Request by delivering by Requisite Notice an irrevocable, duly completed Competitive Bid to the Administrative Agent by the Competitive Loan Requisite Time for delivering Competitive Bids. Any Competitive Bid received after such Competitive Loan Requisite Time, that is in a form other than a duly completed Competitive Bid Request, or that is otherwise not responsive to the Competitive Bid Request shall be disregarded. A Lender may subsequently correct any Competitive Bid containing a manifest error if it does so by the Competitive Loan Requisite Time for delivering Competitive Bids. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, notify any Lender of any manifest error it detects in such Lender’s Competitive Bid.

(e) The Competitive Bid Maximum offered by a Lender for any Competitive Loan(s) requested in a Competitive Bid may be less than the principal amount of such Competitive Loan(s) requested by the Company, but shall not be less than the Competitive Loan Minimum Amount for any Competitive Loan for which such Lender is bidding. Each Competitive Bid shall expire unless accepted by the Company prior to the Competitive Loan Requisite Time for accepting Competitive Bids.

(f) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the names of the Lenders providing conforming Competitive Bids and the terms of such Competitive Bids. The Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, accept or reject any Competitive Bid, or any portion thereof, provided, that if the Company accepts any Competitive Bid, or any portion thereof, the following shall apply: (i) the Company must notify the Administrative Agent of its acceptance of any Competitive Bids not later than the Competitive Loan Requisite Time for doing so, (ii) the Company must accept all Absolute Rate Bids at all lower fixed interest rates before accepting any portion of Absolute Rate Bids at a higher fixed interest rate, (iii) the Company must accept all LIBOR Margin Bids at all lower margins over Adjusted Dollar LIBOR before accepting any portion of LIBOR Margin Bids at a higher margin over Adjusted Dollar LIBOR, (iv) each Competitive Loan to be made must be in a Competitive Loan Minimum Amount therefor, (v) if two or more Lenders have submitted a Competitive Bid at the same fixed interest rate or margin, then the Company must accept either all of such Competitive Bids or accept such Competitive Bids in the same proportion as the Competitive Bid Maximum of each Lender for such Competitive Loan bears to the aggregate Competitive Bid Maximums of all such Lenders for such Competitive Loans (subject to clause (iv) above) and (vi) the Company may not accept Competitive Bids for an aggregate amount in excess of the Competitive Loans requested in its Competitive Bid Request.

(g) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each of the Lenders whose Competitive Bid, or any portion thereof, has been accepted or rejected by the Company by telephone, which notification shall promptly be confirmed in writing, delivered in person or by telecopier to such Lenders. Any Competitive Bid, or portion thereof, not timely accepted by the Company and/or timely notified by the Administrative Agent to a Lender as having been accepted shall be deemed rejected.

(h) In the case of a LIBOR Margin Bid, the Administrative Agent shall determine Adjusted Dollar LIBOR on the date which is two Business Days prior to the date of the proposed Competitive Loan, and shall promptly thereafter notify the Company and the Lenders whose LIBOR Margin Bids were accepted by the Company of such Adjusted Dollar LIBOR.

(i) Each Lender which has had a Competitive Bid, or portion thereof, accepted by the Company shall make the funds for its Competitive Loan(s) available to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than the Requisite Time for making such funds available on the Business Day specified in such Competitive Loan Request. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV, all funds so received shall be made available to the Company.

(j) Each Lender’s Competitive Loan shall be evidenced by that Lender’s Competitive Loan Note or by one or more loan accounts or records maintained by such Lender in the Ordinary Course of Business, in each case subject to Section 2.01 (b).

(k) Each Competitive Loan shall be due and payable on the maturity date of such Competitive Loan.

Section 2.04. Prepayments.

(a) The applicable Borrower may at any time and from time to time voluntarily prepay Committed Loans in a Minimum Amount after delivering an irrevocable Requisite Notice not later than the Requisite Time for prepayments. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender thereof and of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. Each prepayment by a Borrower must be made ratably to all outstanding Committed Loans of such Borrower borrowed on the same day.

(b) If for any reason either (i) the sum of (A) the aggregate LC Exposure of all Lenders, (B) the aggregate principal amount of all Dollar Loans made by all Lenders, (C) the Equivalent Amount of the aggregate principal amount of all Foreign Currency Loans made by all Lenders and (D) the aggregate principal amount of all Competitive Loans made by all Lenders, exceeds the combined Commitments in effect at any time or (ii) the Equivalent Amount of the aggregate principal amount of all Foreign Currency Loans made by the Lenders exceeds the Foreign Currency Limit, then upon written request of the Administrative Agent the Company shall immediately prepay or

cause one or more Foreign Borrowers to immediately prepay Committed Loans sufficient to cure such overage.

(c) Any prepayment of an IBOR Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with the costs set forth in Section 3.05.

(d) Competitive Loans may not be prepaid unless (i) expressly so provided in the Competitive Bid Request and Competitive Bid for such Competitive Loan or (ii) otherwise agreed by the Company and the Lender making such Competitive Loan after notice to the Administrative Agent.

(e) The Company may from time to time elect to prepay pursuant to the Guaranty all or part of any Foreign Currency Loan of a Foreign Borrower and such prepayment by the Company shall be made in the manner and subject to the terms that a prepayment would be made by the Foreign Borrower under this Agreement.

Section 2.05. Voluntary Reduction of Commitments.

The Company shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, without penalty or charge, upon giving Requisite Notice not later than the Requisite Time, voluntarily to reduce, permanently and irrevocably, in a Minimum Amount, or to terminate, the then unused portion of the Commitments, provided that any such reduction or termination shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued and unpaid Facility Fees with respect to the portion of the Commitments being reduced or terminated. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of any reduction or termination of the Commitments under this Section. Each Lender’s Commitment shall be reduced by an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such reduction.

Section 2.06. Principal and Interest.

(a) If not sooner paid, the outstanding principal amount of each Committed Loan and Competitive Loan shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date or, if such Loan is not Continued or Converted, at the end of the applicable Interest Period.

(b) Each Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loans made to it (before and after default, before and after maturity, before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding) from the date borrowed until paid in full (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) on each Interest Payment Date for each type of Loan at a rate per annum equal to the applicable interest rate determined in accordance with the definition of such type of Loan in this Agreement, plus, in the case of IBOR Loans, the Applicable Amount.

(c) If any amount of principal of or interest on any Loan or any other amount payable under any Loan Document is not paid in full when due (whether by

acceleration or otherwise) or, in the case of reimbursement obligations under Section 2.11, one Business Day after the date such reimbursement obligations accrues, each Borrower shall pay interest on such unpaid amount from the date such amount becomes due (or, in the case of reimbursement obligations under Section 2.11, one Business Day after the date such reimbursement obligation accrues) until the date such amount is paid in full, and after as well as before any entry of judgment thereon, at a fluctuating rate of interest rate equal to the Default Rate. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including, without limitation, interest on past due interest) shall be compounded monthly, on the last day of each calendar month, to the fullest extent permitted by Requirement of Law, and payable on demand.

(d) Amounts due under this Agreement in respect of any Loan shall be deemed paid for the purposes of this Agreement only, in the case of Dollar Loans, to the extent paid in Dollars or, in the case of Foreign Currency Loans, to the extent paid in the applicable Foreign Currency. If the Administrative Agent receives any payment in respect of any Loan in any currency other than the currency of such Loan, (including upon enforcement of or collection of a judgment), the Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion return such payment to the payor or convert such payment to the currency of such Loan and apply the net proceeds to payment of amounts due in respect of such Loan in accordance with this Agreement, provided that (i) amounts due in respect of such Loan shall be deemed to have been paid by the Borrower only to the extent of the net proceeds, if any, so applied by the Administrative Agent and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any Credit Party, Lender or any other Person arising out of or relating to such conversion of funds or the exchange rate utilized in connection therewith, in each case except to the extent of the Administrative Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 2.07. Fees.

(a) Facility Fee. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, a Facility Fee equal to the Applicable Amount for the Facility Fee times such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the daily aggregate amount of the combined Commitments, (determined daily on a per annum basis). The Facility Fee under the Commitments shall accrue from the Closing Date to but excluding the Maturity Date and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and on the Maturity Date. The Facility Fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears; if there is any change in the Applicable Amount during any quarter, the average daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Amount separately for each period that such Applicable Amount was in effect during such quarter.

(b) Agency Fee. The Company shall pay to the Administrative Agent an agency fee in such amounts and at such times as heretofore agreed upon by letter agreement between the Company and the Administrative Agent. The agency fee is for the services to be performed by the Administrative Agent in acting as Administrative

Agent and is fully earned on the date paid. The agency fee paid to the Administrative Agent is solely for its own account and is nonrefundable.

(c) Letter of Credit Fees. The Company shall pay

(i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue in Dollars at the same Applicable Amount used to determine the interest rate applicable to Committed Loans that are Dollar LIBOR Loans or Foreign Currency Loans on the average daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure, as determined by the Issuing Bank using its customary method of calculating the Dollar amount equivalent of its Foreign Currency Letters of Credit (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and

(ii) to the Issuing Bank a fronting fee and fees with respect of the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder, as may be separately agreed upon between the Company and the Issuing Bank.

Participation fees accrued through and including the last day of March, June, September and December of each year shall be payable on the third Business Day following such last day, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable as agreed between the Issuing Bank and the Company. All participation fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

Section 2.08. Computation of Fees and Interest. Computations of (i) interest with respect to Base Rate Loans and (ii) Local Market IBOR (but not the Applicable Amount or any fees or other amounts) with respect to Foreign Currency Loans in British Pounds Sterling shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed; computations of interest on all other types of Loans and all fees and other amounts under this Agreement shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed, which results in a higher yield to the Lenders than a method based on a year of 365 or 366 days. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made; interest shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by any Requirement of Law shall not accrue or be payable hereunder, and any amount paid as interest hereunder which

would otherwise be in excess of such maximum permitted amount shall instead be treated as a payment of principal.

Section 2.09. Manner and Treatment of Payments among the Lenders, Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.

(a) Unless otherwise provided herein, all payments by any Credit Party or any Lender hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office and account, or to any Person at such place and account as the Administrative Agent may designate, in immediately available funds without defense, setoff or counterclaim not later than the Requisite Time. All payments received after the Requisite Time shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day. All payments of fees pursuant to Section 2.07 shall be payable by the Company in Dollars. All payments of principal of or interest on Competitive Loans or Committed Loans other than Foreign Currency Loans shall be payable in Dollars. All payments of principal of or interest in a Foreign Currency Loan shall be payable in the applicable Foreign Currency.

(b) Upon satisfaction of any applicable terms and conditions set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall promptly make any amounts received in accordance with the prior subsection available in like funds received as follows: (i) if payable to any Borrower, by crediting an account of such Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York City and designated by such Borrower in the applicable Request for Extension of Credit or Competitive Bid Request or, if no account is maintained by such Borrower with the Administrative Agent, then by wire transfer to an account designated in writing by such Borrower and delivered to Administrative Agent, and (ii) if payable to any Lender, by wire transfer to such Lender at the address specified in Schedule 10.02. The Administrative Agent’s determination, or any Lender’s determination not contradictory thereto, of any amount payable hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(c) Subject to the definition of “Interest Period,” if any payment to be made by any Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall instead be considered due on the next succeeding Business Day and the extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest and fees.

(d) Unless any Borrower or Lender has notified the Administrative Agent prior to the date any payment to be made by it is due, that it does not intend to remit such payment, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, assume that such Borrower or Lender, as the case may be, has timely remitted such payment and may, in its discretion and in reliance thereon, make available such payment to the Person entitled thereto. If such payment was not in fact remitted to the Administrative Agent, then:

(i) if any Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the amount of such assumed payment made available to such Lender, together with interest thereon in

respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of (x) the Federal Funds Rate and (y) such rate as may be determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation; and

(ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall on the Business Day following such Credit Date pay to the Administrative Agent the amount of such assumed payment made available to the applicable Borrower, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Borrower to the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of (x) the Federal Funds Rate and (y) such rate as may be determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments or to prejudice any rights which the Administrative Agent or any Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

(iii) if any Lender failed to make a payment funding a Committed Loan, and fails to make such payment on the Business Day following the Credit Date, the applicable Borrower shall repay such Lender’s failed payment funding of such Commitment Loan to the Administrative Agent immediately upon receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such failure to pay by any such Lender.

Section 2.10. Funding Sources. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

Section 2.11. Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company may request the issuance of Letters of Credit for its own account or for the account of any of its Subsidiaries, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Company to, or entered into by the Company with, the Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Incorporation, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. Whenever the Company desires to (i) have a Letter of

Credit issued hereunder, (ii) incorporate an existing letter of credit not issued hereunder as a Letter of Credit for the purposes hereof or (iii) amend, renew or extend a Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder, the Company shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (not less than three Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance, incorporation, amendment, renewal or extension) an LC Request; specifying information as provided in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E and such other information as shall be necessary in the determination of the Issuing Bank to prepare, incorporate, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. The date of issuance, incorporation, amendment, renewal or extension specified in such LC Request shall be a Business Day, and the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section. If requested by the Issuing Bank, the Company also shall submit a letter of credit application on the Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, incorporated, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, incorporation, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit the Company shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, incorporation, amendment, renewal or extension (i) the LC Exposure shall not exceed $150,000,000 and (ii) the sum of (A) the aggregate LC Exposure of all Lenders, (B) the aggregate principal amount of all Dollar Loans made by all Lenders, (C) the Equivalent Amount at any time of the aggregate principal amount of all Foreign Currency Loans made by all Lenders and (D) the aggregate principal amount of all Competitive Loans made by all Lenders, shall not exceed the combined Commitments in effect at any time.

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the expiration date requested in the LC Request and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date.

(d) Participations. By the issuance or incorporation of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) pursuant to Section 2.11(b) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank or the Lenders, the Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from the Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, in Dollars or in the applicable Foreign Currency, as the case may be, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each LC Disbursement made by the Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Company on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) and (f) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Company for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever (other than a withdrawal of such Letter of Credit from this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.11(m)), including any

amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement of Dollar Letters of Credit. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Dollar Letter of Credit issued for the account of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Company shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount in Dollars equal to such LC Disbursement not later than the LC Requisite Time; provided that, if such LC Disbursement is not less than $5,000,000, the Company may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.01 and 2.02 that such payment be financed with a Dollar LIBOR Loan or Base Rate Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Company’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Dollar LIBOR Loan or Base Rate Loan.

(f) Reimbursement of Foreign Currency Letters of Credit. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Foreign Currency Letter of Credit, the Company shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount in the applicable Foreign Currency equal to such LC Disbursement not later than the LC Requisite Time; provided that, if the Equivalent Amount of such LC Disbursement is not less than $5,000,000, the Company may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.01 and 2.02 that such payment be financed with a Foreign Currency Loan to the Company or any eligible Foreign Borrower (whether or not an account party under the Foreign Currency Letter of Credit), bearing interest at Adjusted IBOR for such Foreign Currency in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Company’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Foreign Currency Loan.

(g) Payment by Lenders. If the Company fails to make payment as provided in paragraph (e) and (f) of this Section when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Company in respect thereof and such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars or in the applicable Foreign Currency, as the case may be, its Pro Rata Share of the payment then due from the Company, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.09 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and the terms and conditions of Section 2.09 shall apply in the same manner to all the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Company pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and the Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other

than the funding of Dollar LIBOR Loans or Base Rate Loans as contemplated in paragraph (e) above or the funding of Foreign Currency Loans as contemplated in paragraph (f) above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(h) Obligations Absolute. The Company’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) and (f) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Company’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders nor the Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance, incorporation, transfer or withdrawal of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Company to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Company to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Company that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(i) Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for

payment under a Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Company by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether the Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to reimburse the Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(j) Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Company shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Company reimburses such LC Disbursement, (i) in the case of a LC Disbursement with respect to a Dollar Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum then applicable to Base Rate Loans and (ii) in the case of a LC Disbursement with respect to a Foreign Currency Letter of Credit, at the rate per annum then applicable to Foreign Currency Loans in the applicable Foreign Currency with an Interest Period of one month (with the first such Interest Period beginning on the date such LC Disbursement was made); provided that, in each case (i) and (ii), if the Company fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement on the Business Day after such reimbursement is due pursuant to paragraph (e) and (f) of this Section, then Section 2.06(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of the Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (g) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

(k) Currencies. Amounts due under this Agreement in respect of any Letter of Credit shall be deemed paid for the purposes of this Agreement only, in the case of Dollar Letters of Credit, to the extent paid in Dollars or, in the case of Foreign Currency Letters of Credit, to the extent paid in the applicable Foreign Currency, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement. If the Administrative Agent receives any payment in respect of any Letter of Credit in any currency other than the currency of such Letter of Credit, (including upon enforcement of or collection of a judgment), the Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion return such payment to the payor or convert such payment to the currency of such Letter of Credit and apply the net proceeds to payment of amounts due in respect of such Letter of Credit in accordance with this Agreement, provided that (i) amounts due in respect of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to have been paid only to the extent of the net proceeds, if any, so applied by the Administrative Agent and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any Credit Party, Lender or any other Person arising out of or relating to such conversion of funds or the exchange rate utilized in connection therewith, in each case except to the extent of the Administrative Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(l) Replacement of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Company, the Administrative

Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of the Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Company shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.07(c). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued or incorporated thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(m) Withdrawal of Outstanding Letters of Credit from Agreement. The Company may, with the consent of the Issuing Bank issuing such Letter of Credit, which consent may be given or withheld in its sole discretion, elect to have any undrawn Letter of Credit issued hereunder no longer deemed to be a Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder. The Company may make such election by delivering to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Letter of Credit Withdrawal, signed by the Company and the Issuing Bank, in the form attached as Exhibit F, whereupon such letter of credit shall cease to be Letter of Credit for all purposes hereof.

(n) Collateralization of LC Overage. If for any reason the LC Exposure exceeds $150,000,000, then upon request of the Requisite Lenders, the Company shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash in Dollars equal to the LC Overage as of the date of such request, which amount shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the performance by the Company of its reimbursement obligations pursuant to Sections 2.11(e) and (f). The Administrative Agent (i) may invest the balance in such account in such short-term instruments in the manner and to the extent the Administrative Agent deems consistent with the use of such funds as collateral for the performance of the Company’s obligations, (ii) shall apply the balance in such account to pay any reimbursement obligations that arise pursuant to Section 2.11(e) and (f) from time to time (with any reimbursement obligation payable in a Foreign Currency satisfied by the conversion of funds in such account in such manner at such an exchange rate as determined by the Administrative Agent) and (iii) upon request of the Company from time to time, shall pay to the Company such amount as the Administrative Agent determines to be the excess of the balance in such account over the LC Overage. All investment and reinvestment of funds deposited with the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.11(n) shall be made at the Company’s risk and expense. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. If the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 51% of the total LC Exposure), the balance held by

the Administrative Agent may be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Company under this Agreement.

ARTICLE III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

Section 3.01. Taxes. Each payment of any amount payable by any Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction by reason of, any Applicable Taxes. To the extent that any Borrower is obligated by any Requirement of Law to make any deduction or withholding on account of Applicable Taxes from any amount payable to any Lender under this Agreement, such Borrower shall (i) make such deduction or withholding and pay the same to the relevant Governmental Authority and (ii) pay such additional amount to that Lender as is necessary to result in that Lender’s receiving a net after-Applicable Tax amount equal to the amount to which that Lender would have been entitled under this Agreement absent such deduction or withholding. If a Lender shall become aware that receipt of such a payment resulted in an excess payment or credit to that Lender on account of such Applicable Taxes, that Lender shall promptly refund such excess to such Borrower. In addition, if any Governmental Authority imposes any penalties, interest or other liabilities on any Lender by reason of any Borrower failing to deduct or withhold sufficient amounts on account of Applicable Taxes, or otherwise, such Borrower shall indemnify such Lender against such penalties, interest or other liabilities; provided, however, that such Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify any Lender for such amounts to the extent arising from such Lender’s failure to act in good faith in promptly notifying such Borrower thereof within 45 days from the date on which such Lender became aware of such penalties, interest or other liabilities. Payment by any Borrower under this Section shall be made within 30 days from the date any Lender makes written demand for indemnification hereunder, which demand shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the amount being requested from such Borrower. If a Lender shall become aware that it is entitled to receive a refund or credit from a relevant Governmental Authority directly attributable to Applicable Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Borrower pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify such Borrower of the availability of such refund or credit and shall, within 30 days after receipt of a request by such Borrower (whether as a result of notification that it has made to such Borrower or otherwise), make a claim to such Governmental Authority for such refund or credit at such Borrower’s expense so long as making such a claim is not inconsistent with such Lender’s internal policies and is not disadvantageous to such Lender.

Section 3.02. Illegality.

(a) If any Lender shall determine that the introduction of any Requirement of Law after the date hereof, or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or administration thereof after the date hereof, has made it unlawful,

or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority has asserted after the date hereof that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its Lending Office to make IBOR Loans, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make IBOR Loans shall be suspended until such Lender shall have notified the Company (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist; provided, that, if the designation of an alternative branch or lending office of the Lender will permit the Lender to make or maintain such IBOR Loans, the Lender will designate such alternative branch or lending office, subject to its determination that such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender.

(b) If any Lender shall determine that it is unlawful to maintain any IBOR Loan, the applicable Borrower shall prepay in full all IBOR Loans then outstanding, together with interest accrued thereon, either on the last day of the Interest Period thereof if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such IBOR Loans to such day, or immediately, if the Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such IBOR Loans, together with any amounts required to be paid in connection therewith pursuant to Section 3.05.

Section 3.03. Increased Costs and Reduction of Return. If any Lender shall determine that, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change (other than any change by way of imposition of or increase in reserve requirements included in the calculation of Adjusted IBOR) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law, provided that if such guideline or request does not have the force of law, compliance therewith is customary for banks regulated in a manner similar to such Lender), after the date hereof, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Loans, then the Company shall be liable for, and shall from time to time, within 10 Business Days after demand therefor by such Lender, pay to such Lender additional amounts as are sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased costs; provided, however, that, if the designation of an alternative branch or lending office of the Lender will avoid or reduce the amount of such increased costs, the Lender will designate such alternative branch or lending office, subject to its determination that such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender.

Section 3.04. Capital Adequacy. If any Lender shall determine that (a) the introduction after the date hereof of any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (b) any change after the date hereof in any Capital Adequacy Regulation, (c) any change after the date hereof in the interpretation or administration of any Capital Adequacy Regulation by any central bank or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (d) compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office) or any corporation controlling such Lender, with any Capital Adequacy Regulation; affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and (taking into consideration such Lender’s

or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital) determines that the amount of such capital is increased as a consequence of its Commitments, Loans, credits or obligations under this Agreement, then, within 10 Business Days after demand of such Lender, the Company shall upon demand pay to such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increase; provided, however, that, if the designation of an alternative branch or lending office of the Lender will avoid or reduce such increased amount the Lender will designate such alternative branch or lending office, subject to its determination that such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender.

Section 3.05. Breakfunding Costs. Each Borrower agrees to reimburse each Lender and to hold each Lender harmless from any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of: (a) the failure of such Borrower to make any payment or prepayment of principal of any IBOR Loan (including payments made after any acceleration thereof); (b) the failure of such Borrower to Borrow, Continue or Convert an IBOR Loan after such Borrower has given a Request for Extension of Credit, (c) if caused by a Credit Party or as a result of any acceleration of the Loans by reason of a Default or Event of Default, the prepayment of an IBOR Loan on a day which is not the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto, or (d) if caused by a Credit Party or required by the Requisite Lenders pursuant to Section 2.02(d), the Conversion of any Dollar LIBOR Loan to a Base Rate Loan or the replacement of any Foreign Currency Loan with a Foreign Currency Loan with an Interest Period of one month; including any such loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain its IBOR Loans hereunder or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. Solely for purposes of calculating amounts payable by any Borrower to a Lender under this Section, each IBOR Loan (and each related reserve, special deposit or similar requirement) shall be conclusively deemed to have been funded at Adjusted IBOR used in determining Adjusted IBOR for such IBOR Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the relevant currency in the interbank deposit market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such IBOR Loan is in fact so funded.

Section 3.06. Inability to Determine Rates.

If the Requisite Lenders shall have advised the Agent of the Requisite Lenders’ determination that for any reason adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Adjusted IBOR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed IBOR Loan or that Adjusted IBOR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed IBOR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will forthwith give notice of such determination to the Company. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain IBOR Loans, as the case may be, hereunder shall be suspended until the Requisite Lenders revoke such notice in writing to the Company and the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that no outstanding IBOR Loan shall be terminated prior to

the expiration of the Interest Period unless required by law. Upon receipt of such notice, any Borrower may revoke any Request for Extension of Credit then submitted by it. If the Company does not revoke such notice, any Dollar Loans requested in such notice shall be made, Converted or Continued as Base Rate Loans instead of Dollar LIBOR Loans.

Section 3.07. Matters Applicable to all Requests for Compensation.

(a) No Borrower shall be required to compensate any Lender under Section 3.03 or 3.04 for amounts allocable to any period more than 30 days prior to the date that such Lender initially notifies such Borrower that it intends to claim compensation under such Sections; provided, however, that if such claim relates to any cost or increase that has been retroactively imposed upon such Lender, such Borrower shall be required to compensate such Lender for amounts allocable to the period since the date such cost or increase was so imposed upon such Lender, provided that such Lender notifies such Borrower that it intends to claim such compensation within 60 days of such retroactive cost or increase having been imposed.

(b) The Administrative Agent and any Lender shall provide reasonable detail to the applicable Borrower regarding the manner in which the amount of any payment to the Administrative Agent or that Lender under this Article III has been determined, concurrently with demand for such payment. The Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s determination of any amount payable under this Article III shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(c) For purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Article III any Loans shall be deemed to have been funded at the underlying applicable interest rate set forth in the definition thereof whether or not such Loans was, in fact, so funded.

(d) All obligations of any Borrower under this Article III shall survive termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Loans.

(e) Upon (i) any Borrower becoming obligated for any taxes with respect to any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, (ii) any Lender making a claim for compensation under Section 3.03 or Section 3.04, or (iii) any Lender invoking Section 3.06, such Lender, upon not less than 10 Business Days’ Requisite Notice from the applicable Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), shall execute and deliver a Notice of Assignment and Acceptance covering that Lender’s Pro Rata Share in favor of such Eligible Assignee as such Borrower may designate, subject to payment in full by such Eligible Assignee of all principal, interest, compensation, fees and other amounts owing to such Lender through the date of assignment, including without limitation all amounts owing under this Article III. Upon the removal of any Lender, it shall be released from all obligations and liabilities under any Loan Document. An assignment pursuant to this Section shall be governed by the provisions of Section 10.05 other than the Minimum Amount limitation therein contained. Alternatively, the Company may,

upon 10 Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent (who shall notify each Lender) reduce the combined Commitments by an amount equal to that Lender’s Pro Rata Share (and, for this purpose, no Minimum Amounts shall apply), and in connection therewith, deliver to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, the amounts, described in the first sentence above and release such Lender from its Pro Rata Share.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

The Company and, solely to the extent such representation and warranty relates to such Foreign Borrower or its Subsidiaries, each Foreign Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that:

Section 5.01. Corporate Existence and Power. Each Credit Party and each of its corporate Subsidiaries: (a) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation; (b) has the corporate power and authority and all governmental licenses, authorizations, consents and approvals to own its assets, carry on its business and execute, deliver, and perform its obligations, if any, under, the Loan Documents; (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation, licensed and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of Property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect; and (d) is in compliance with every Requirement of Law except where such noncompliance would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Foreign Borrower is, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, wholly-owned by the Company; and no Foreign Borrower is organized under the laws of any State of the United States of America or in the District of Columbia.

Section 5.02. Corporate Authorization; No Contravention. The execution, delivery and performance by each Credit Party of each Loan Document to which it is a party, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and do not and will not: (a) contravene the terms of any of its Organization Documents; (b) conflict with or result in any breach or contravention of, or the creation of any Lien under, any document evidencing any material Contractual Obligation to which it is a party or any order, injunction, writ or decree of any Governmental Authority to which it or its Property is subject; or (c) violate any Requirement of Law applicable to it.

Section 5.03. Governmental Authorization. No approval, consent, exemption, authorization, or other action by, or notice to, or filing with, any Governmental Authority is necessary or required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by any Credit Party of any Loan Document to which it is a party, other than routine filings required to be made by it in the Ordinary Course of Business after the date hereof.

Section 5.04. Binding Effect. Each Loan Document to which any Credit Party is a party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of each such Credit Party, enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability.

Section 5.05. Litigation. Except as disclosed on Schedule 5.05, there are no actions, suits, investigations, proceedings, claims or disputes pending or to the best of the company’s knowledge, threatened, at law, in equity, in arbitration or before any Governmental Authority, against the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Properties which: (a) purport to affect or pertain to this Agreement, or any other Loan Document, or any of the Transactions; or (b) have a reasonable possibility of an adverse decision which would have a Material Adverse Effect. No injunction, writ, temporary restraining order or any order of any nature has been issued by any court or other Governmental Authority against any Credit Party purporting to enjoin or restrain the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or directing that the Transactions not be consummated as herein or therein provided.

Section 5.06. No Event of Default.

(a) No Event of Default exists or would result from the incurring of any Obligations by any Credit Party.

(b) Except as disclosed on Schedule 5.06, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default under or with respect to any Contractual Obligation in any respect which, individually or together with all such defaults, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.07. ERISA Compliance.

(a) Schedule 5.07 lists all Plans maintained or sponsored by the Company or to which it is obligated to contribute, and separately identifies Plans intended to be Qualified Plans and Multiemployer Plans. Each Plan other than a Multiemployer Plan is in compliance, and, with respect to each Multiemployer Plan, the Company has no knowledge that such Multiemployer Plan is not in compliance, in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other Federal or applicable state law that is not preempted by ERISA. Each Qualified Plan has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to qualify under Section 401 of the Code, and the trusts created thereunder have been determined to be exempt from tax under the provisions of Section 501 of the Code, and to the best knowledge of the Company nothing has occurred which would cause the loss of such qualification or tax-exempt status.

(b) There is no outstanding liability (excluding PBGC premiums due but not delinquent under Section 4001 of ERISA) under Title IV of ERISA with respect to any Plan maintained or sponsored by the Company or any ERISA Affiliate (as to which the Company is or may reasonably be expected to be liable), nor with respect to any Plan to which the Company or any ERISA Affiliate (wherein the Company is or may be liable) contributes or is obligated to contribute, which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Qualified Plans has Unfunded Pension

Liabilities as to which the Company is or may be liable, and which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any Plan maintained or sponsored by the Company or to which the Company is obligated to contribute and as to which the Company is or may reasonably be expected to be liable, and which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened claims, actions or lawsuits, other than routine claims for benefits in the usual and ordinary course, asserted or instituted against (i) any Plan maintained or sponsored by the Company or its assets, (ii) any member of the Controlled Group with respect to any Qualified Plan of the Company, or (iii) any fiduciary with respect to any Plan for which the Company may be directly or indirectly liable, through indemnification obligations or otherwise which in each case would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has not transferred any Unfunded Pension Liability outside of the Controlled Group or otherwise engaged in a transaction that could be subject to Section 4069 or 4212(c) of ERISA which has a reasonable likelihood of having a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.08. Regulations T, U and X. Neither any of the Letters of Credit outstanding hereunder nor the proceeds of any Loan hereunder will be used, in whole or in part, to purchase or carry, or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying, any Margin Stock in violation of Regulations T, U and X.

Section 5.09. Taxes. Each Credit Party and its Subsidiaries have filed all Federal and other material tax returns and reports required to be filed, and have paid all Federal and other taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges levied or imposed upon them or their Properties, income or assets otherwise due and payable, except those which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP.

(b) Since January 31, 2004, there has been no Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Each Foreign Borrower is “solvent” within the meaning given such term or similar terms under laws applicable to such Person, if any, prohibiting such Person from borrowing the Loan from the Lenders requested by or outstanding to such Person or prohibiting the Lenders from making such Loan to such Person (or any such laws that limit or restrict the Lenders’ rights to enforce their rights and remedies under both this Agreement and the Guaranty) on account of such Person’s financial condition at the time such Loan is made.

Section 5.11. Environmental Matters. To the knowledge of the Responsible Officers of the Company, the on-going operations of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries comply in all respects with all Environmental Laws, except such non-compliance which would not reasonably be likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Responsible Officers of the Company, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries have obtained all licenses, permits, authorizations and registrations required under any Environmental Law (“Environmental Permits”) necessary for its ordinary course operations, all such Environmental Permits are in good standing, and the Company and each of its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all material terms and conditions of such Environmental Permits, except where the failure to obtain or maintain such Environmental Permits or such noncompliance would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.12. Subsidiaries. As of the Effective Date, the Company has no Subsidiaries other than those specifically disclosed on Schedule 5.12.

Section 5.13. Insurance. The material real Properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries are insured with financially sound and reputable insurance companies (except to the extent self-insurance is permitted pursuant to Section 6.06), in such amounts, with such deductibles and covering such risks as are customarily carried by companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar Properties in localities where the Company or such Subsidiary operates.

Section 5.14. Full Disclosure. The Company has made available to the Lenders all material agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is subject and all reports or other filings made by the Company under the Exchange Act or Securities Act, and disclosed, through the reports and other filings made by the Company under the Exchange Act or Securities Act or otherwise, all other matters known to it that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Information Memorandum nor any of the reports, financial statements, certificates or other information certified as being true and correct by or on behalf of the Company to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so certified) contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial

information, the Company represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.

Section 5.15. Public Utility Holding Company Act; Investment Company Act. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries are a “holding company”, or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company”, within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended.

Section 5.16. Title to Properties.

(a) The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has good and marketable title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all real Property necessary or used in the ordinary conduct of its business, except for Liens permitted by Section 7.01 and for such defects in title as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) The Company and each of its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property material to its business, and the use thereof by the Company and its Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.17. Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List. None of the Borrower, Subsidiaries of the Borrower or Affiliates of the Borrower are identified on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets, Department of the Treasury, and/or on any other similar list maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control pursuant to any authorizing statute, executive order or regulation or is a person with whom a citizen of the United States is prohibited to engage in transactions by any trade embargo, economic sanction or other prohibition of United States law, regulation or Executive Order of the President of the United States.

its pursuit of a remedy in respect of the default in question and has notified the Administrative Agent on or prior to the expiration of such grace period of the remedy and the actions being taken by the Borrower, then the Borrower shall have an additional period of 30 days to remedy such default; or

(f) Insolvency; Voluntary Proceedings.

Section 8.02. Remedies Upon Event of Default. Without limiting any other rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, or the other Loan Documents, or by any Requirement of Law, or in equity, or otherwise:

(a) Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of any Event of Default other than an Event of Default described in Section 8.01(f) or 8.01(g) in respect of any Credit Party,

(i) the Requisite Lenders may request the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent thereupon shall, terminate the Commitments and/or

declare all or any part of the unpaid principal of all Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, all obligations relating to the LC Exposure at such time and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the same shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without protest, presentment, notice of dishonor, demand or further notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by such Credit Party; and

(ii) on the Business Day that the Company receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated pursuant to clause (i) above, Lenders with LC Exposure representing 51% or more of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this clause (ii), the Company shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure as of such date, which amount shall be applied as provided in Section 8.02(f).

(b) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 8.01(f) or 8.01(g) in respect of any Credit Party,

(i) the Commitments and all other obligations of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and all rights of any Credit Party under the Loan Documents shall terminate without notice to or demand upon such Credit Party, which are expressly waived by such Credit Party and the unpaid principal of all Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, all obligations relating to the LC Exposure at such time and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents shall be forthwith due and payable, without protest, presentment, notice of dishonor, demand or further notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by any Credit Party; and

(ii) the Company shall forthwith deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure, which amount shall be immediately due and payable, without protest, presentment, notice of dishonor, demand or further notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by any Credit Party, and shall be applied as provided in Section 8.02(f).

(c) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Requisite Lenders, or may with the consent of the Requisite Lenders, without notice to (except as expressly provided for in any Loan Document) or demand upon any Credit Party, which are expressly waived by any Credit Party (except as to notices expressly provided for in any Loan Document), proceed to protect, exercise and enforce the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents against any Credit Party and such other rights and remedies as are provided by Requirement of Law or equity.

(d) The rights provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other rights, powers, privileges or remedies provided by law or in equity, or under any other instrument, document or agreement not existing or hereafter arising.

(e) The order and manner in which the Lenders’ rights and remedies are to be exercised shall be determined by the Requisite Lenders in their sole discretion, and all payments received by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or any of them, shall be applied first to the costs and expenses (including reasonable Attorneys Costs incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders), and thereafter paid pro rata to the Lenders in the same proportions that the aggregate Obligations owed to each Lender under the Loan Documents bear to the aggregate Obligations owed under the Loan Documents to all the Lenders, without priority or preference among the Lenders. Regardless of how each Lender may treat payments for the purpose of its own accounting, for the purpose of computing any Credit Party’s Obligations hereunder, payments shall be applied first, to the costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, as set forth above, second, to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest due under any Loan Documents to and including the date of such application (ratably, and without duplication, according to the accrued and unpaid interest due under each of the Loan Documents), and third, to the payment of all other amounts (including principal and fees) then owing to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under the Loan Documents. No application of payments will cure any Event of Default, or prevent acceleration, or continued acceleration, of amounts payable under the Loan Documents, or prevent the exercise, or continued exercise, of rights or remedies of the Lenders hereunder or thereunder or under any Requirement of Law or in equity.

(f) Cash collateral deposited with the Administrative Agent upon the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 8.02(a) or clause (ii) of Section 8.02(b) shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over funds so deposited and shall invest and reinvest such funds in short-term instruments in the manner and to the extent the Administrative Agent deems consistent with the use of such funds as collateral for the performance of the Company’s obligations hereunder. Other than any interest earned on the investment or reinvestment of such funds in accordance with the preceding sentence, all investment and reinvestment shall be made at the Company’s risk and expense and the cash collateral deposited shall not bear interest for the account of the company. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Company for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 51% of the total LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Company under this Agreement. If the

Company is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Company within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

ARTICLE IX

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

Section 9.01. Appointment and Authorization. Subject to Section 9.07, each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof or are reasonably incidental, as determined by the Administrative Agent, thereto. This appointment and authorization is intended solely for the purpose of facilitating the servicing of the Loans and does not constitute appointment of the Administrative Agent as trustee for any Lender or as representative of any Lender for any other purpose and, except as specifically set forth in the Loan Documents to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall take such action and exercise such powers only in an administrative and ministerial capacity.

Section 9.02. Administrative Agent and Affiliates. JPMorgan Chase Bank (and each successor Administrative Agent) has the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” includes JPMorgan Chase Bank in its individual capacity. JPMorgan Chase Bank (and each successor Administrative Agent) and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with any Credit Party, any Subsidiary thereof, or any Affiliate of any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof, as if it were not the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. JPMorgan Chase Bank (and each successor Administrative Agent) need not account to any other Lender for any monies received by it for reimbursement of its costs and expenses as Administrative Agent hereunder, or for any monies received by it in any other capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to hold a fiduciary relationship with any Lender and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

Section 9.03. Lenders’ Credit Decisions. Each Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or the directors, officers, agents, employees or attorneys of the Administrative Agent or of any other Lender, and instead in reliance upon information supplied to it by or on behalf of the Company and upon such other information as it has deemed appropriate, made its

own independent credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also agrees that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or the directors, officers, agents, employees or attorneys of the Administrative Agent or of any other Lender, continue to make its own independent credit analyses and decisions in acting or not acting under the Loan Documents.

Section 9.04. Action by Administrative Agent.

(a) Absent actual knowledge of the Administrative Agent of the existence of a Default, the Administrative Agent may assume that no Default has occurred and is continuing, unless the Administrative Agent (or the Lender that is then the Administrative Agent) has received notice from any Credit Party stating the nature of the Default or has received notice from a Lender stating the nature of the Default and that such Lender considers the Default to have occurred and to be continuing.

(b) The Administrative Agent has only those duties under the Loan Documents as are expressly set forth therein.

(c) Except for any obligation expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and as long as the Administrative Agent may assume that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, exercise its discretion to act or not act, except that the Administrative Agent shall be required to act or not act upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or of all the Lenders, to the extent required by Section 10.01) and those instructions shall be binding upon the Administrative Agent and all the Lenders, provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to act or not act if to do so would be contrary to any Loan Document or to any applicable Requirement of Law or would result, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, in substantial risk of liability to the Administrative Agent.

(d) If the Administrative Agent has received a notice specified in subsection (a), the Administrative Agent shall immediately give notice thereof to the Lenders and shall act or not act upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or of all the Lenders, as required hereunder, provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to act or not act if to do so would be contrary to any Loan Document or to any applicable Requirement of Law or would result, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, in substantial risk of liability to the Administrative Agent, and except that if the Requisite Lenders, or all the Lenders, if required hereunder, fail, for five Business Days after the receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent, to instruct the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may act or not act as it deems advisable for the protection of the interests of the Lenders.

(e) The Administrative Agent shall have no liability to any Lender for acting, or not acting, as instructed by the Requisite Lenders, or all the Lenders, if required hereunder, notwithstanding any other provision hereof.

Section 9.05. Liability of Administrative Agent. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or attorneys shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by them under or in connection with the Loan Documents, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation on the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and its directors, officers, agents, employees and attorneys:

(a) May treat any Lender as a Lender until the Administrative Agent receives notice of the assignment or transfer thereof, in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, signed by the payee, and may treat each Lender as the owner of that Lender’s interest in the Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement until the Administrative Agent receives notice of the assignment or transfer thereof, in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, signed by that Lender.

(b) May consult with legal counsel (including in-house legal counsel), accountants (including in-house accountants) and other professionals or experts selected by it, or with legal counsel, accountants or other professionals or experts for the Credit Parties and/or their Subsidiaries or the Lenders, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in good faith in accordance with any advice of such legal counsel, accountants or other professionals or experts.

(c) Shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statement, warranty or representation made in any of the Loan Documents or in any notice, certificate, report, request or other statement (written or oral) given or made in connection with any of the Loan Documents.

(d) Except to the extent expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, shall have no duty to ask or inquire as to the performance or observance by the Company or its Subsidiaries of any of the terms, conditions or covenants of any of the Loan Documents or to inspect the Property, books or records of the Company or its Subsidiaries.

(e) Will not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, effectiveness, sufficiency or value of any Loan Document, any other instrument or writing furnished pursuant thereto or in connection therewith.

(f) Will not incur any liability by acting or not acting in reliance upon any Loan Document, notice, consent, certificate, statement, request or other instrument or writing believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

(g) Will not incur any liability for any arithmetical error in computing any amount paid or payable by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof or paid or payable to or received or receivable from any Lender under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, principal, interest, Facility Fees, Loans and other amounts;

provided that, promptly upon discovery of such an error in computation, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and (to the extent applicable) such Credit Party and/or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall make such adjustments as are necessary to correct such error and to restore the parties to the position that they would have occupied had the error not occurred.

Section 9.06. Indemnification. Each Lender shall, ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata Share (if the Commitments are then in effect) or in accordance with its proportion of the aggregate outstanding Loans (if the Commitments have then been terminated), indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, directors, officers, agents, employees and attorneys harmless against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, Attorneys Costs that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it or them in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents (other than Loan losses incurred by reason of the failure of any Credit Party to pay the Loans) or any action taken or not taken by it as Administrative Agent thereunder, except such as result from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation on the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for that Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any out-of-pocket cost or expense incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery, amendment, waiver, restructuring, reorganization (including a bankruptcy reorganization), enforcement or attempted enforcement of the Loan Documents, to the extent that any Credit Party is required by Section 10.04 to pay that cost or expense but fails to do so upon demand. Nothing in this Section 9.06 shall entitle the Administrative Agent to recover any amount from the Lenders if and to the extent that such amount has theretofore been recovered from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. To the extent that the Administrative Agent is later reimbursed such cost or expense by any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, it shall return the amounts paid to it by the Lenders in respect of such cost or expense.

Section 9.07. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Requisite Lenders shall, resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to the Lenders and the Company. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the Company shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor Administrative Agent for the Lenders, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case such successor administrative agent shall be selected from among the Lenders by the Requisite Lenders. If no successor Administrative Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Company, a successor administrative agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor administrative agent hereunder, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring

Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX, and Sections 10.04 and 10.16 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as a successor administrative agent is appointed as provided for above.

Section 9.08. No Obligations of Credit Parties. Nothing contained in this Article IX shall be deemed to impose upon any Credit Party any obligation in respect of the due and punctual performance by the Administrative Agent of its obligations to the Lenders under any provision of this Agreement, and, except as expressly provided in any Articles of the Agreement other than this Article IX, no Credit Party shall have liability to the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders in respect of any failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to perform any of its obligations to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, where any provision of this Agreement relating to the payment of any amounts due and owing under the Loan Documents provides that such payments shall be made by any Credit Party to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, such Credit Party’s obligations to the Lenders in respect of such payments shall be deemed to be satisfied upon the making of such payments to the Administrative Agent in the manner provided by this Agreement.

Section 9.09. Documentation Agent; Syndication Agent. None of the Lenders identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as Documentation Agent or Syndication Agent shall have any right, power, obligation, liability or responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders so identified shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relations with any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking any action hereunder.

No amendment, modification, supplement, extension, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no approval or consent thereunder, and no consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, may in any event be effective unless in writing signed by the Requisite Lenders (and, in the case of any amendment, modification or supplement of or to any Loan Document to which such Credit Party is a party, signed by such Credit Party and, in the case of any amendment, modification or supplement

affecting the rights and duties of the Administrative Agent, signed by the Administrative Agent), and then only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given; and, without the approval in writing of each Lender affected thereby, no amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or consent may be effective:

(b) To postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, prepayment of principal of or any installment of interest on, any Loan or any installment of any Facility Fee, or to extend the term of the Commitments;

provided, however, that notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article II or IX shall not be effective until actually received by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any Lender shall be entitled to rely and act on any notice purportedly given by or on behalf of any Credit Party even if such notice (i) was not made in a manner specified herein, (ii) was incomplete, or (iii) was not preceded or followed by any other notice specified herein or the terms of such notice as understood by the recipient varied from any subsequent related notice provided for herein. The applicable Credit Party shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and any Lender from any loss, cost, expense or liability as a result of relying on any notice permitted herein.

Section 10.03. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Lender or the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, powers, privileges and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders provided herein or other Loan Document are cumulative and not exclusive of any right, power, privilege or remedy provided by Requirement of Law or equity. The terms and conditions of Article IX are inserted for the sole benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders; the same may be waived in whole or in part, with or without terms or conditions, in respect of any Loan without prejudicing the Administrative Agent’s, the Issuing Bank’s or the Lenders’ rights to assert them in whole or in part in respect of any other Loan.

Section 10.04. Costs and Expenses. The Company shall pay, whether or not the Transactions shall be consummated:

(a) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent), J.P. Morgan Securities, Salomon

Smith Barney Inc. and Citicorp USA, Inc. in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), and

(b) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement after a Default or Event of Default, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with Letters of Credit or Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Letters of Credit or Loans.

Section 10.05. Binding Effect; Assignment.

(a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which each of the Credit Parties is a party will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Credit Party, the Administrative Agent, each of the Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns, except that (i) no Credit Party may assign its rights hereunder or thereunder or any interest herein or therein without the prior written consent of all the Lenders, and (ii) no Lender may assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Any Lender may at any time pledge its Note or any other instrument evidencing its rights as a Lender under this Agreement to a Federal Reserve Lender, but no such pledge shall release that Lender from its obligations hereunder or grant to such Federal Reserve Lender the rights of a Lender hereunder absent foreclosure of such pledge.

(b) From time to time following the Closing Date, each Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or any portion of its Pro Rata Share; provided that (i) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing such assignee shall be an Eligible Assignee and, if such assignee is not then a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or a CLO, any such assignment shall require the prior written consent of the Company, (ii) any such assignment shall require the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, (iii) any such assignment shall require the written consent of the Issuing Bank, and (iv) except in the case of an assignment to an Affiliate of the assigning Lender, to a CLO administered or managed by the assigning Lender or an Affiliate of the assigning Lender, to another Lender or of the entire remaining Commitment of the assigning Lender; the assignment shall not assign a Pro Rata Share which is equivalent to less than the Minimum Amount therefore. No consent required by this section 10.05(b) shall be unreasonably withheld or delayed; it being understood that it shall not be deemed unreasonable to withhold such consent if based solely on the desire to avoid the payment of additional costs or taxes. A copy of a Notice of Assignment and Acceptance shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent with respect to any assignment. The effective date of any such assignment shall be as specified in the Notice of Assignment and Acceptance, but not earlier than the date which is five Business Days after the date the

(c) By executing and delivering a Notice of Assignment and Acceptance, the Eligible Assignee thereunder acknowledges and agrees that: (i) other than the representation and warranty that it is the legal and beneficial owner of the Pro Rata Share being assigned thereby free and clear of any adverse claim, the assigning Lender has made no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (ii) the assigning Lender has made no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Credit Party or the performance by any Credit Party of the Obligations; (iii) it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 6.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) it appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by this Agreement; and (vi) it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(d) After receipt of a completed Notice of Assignment and Acceptance, and receipt of an assignment fee of $3,500 from such Eligible Assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, promptly following the effective date thereof, provide to the Company and the Lenders a revised Schedule 10.02 giving effect thereto.

(e) Each Lender may from time to time grant participations to one or more banks or other financial institutions (including another Lender) in a portion of its Pro Rata Share; provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participating banks or other financial institutions shall not be a Lender hereunder for any purpose except, if the participation agreement so provides, for the purposes of Article III but only

to the extent that the cost of such benefits to the Company does not exceed the cost which the Company would have incurred in respect of such Lender absent the participation, (iv) the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (v) the participation shall not restrict an increase in the Commitments or in the granting Lender’s Pro Rata Share, so long as the amount of the participation interest is not affected thereby and (vi) the consent of the holder of such participation interest shall not be required for amendments or waivers of provisions of the Loan Documents other than those which (A) extend the Maturity Date as to such participant or any other date upon which any payment of money is due to such participant, (B) reduce the rate of interest owing to such participant, any fee or any other monetary amount owing to such participant or (C) reduce the amount of any installment of principal owing to such participant. A Lender granting a participation in accordance with this clause (e) shall give Requisite Notice to the Company on by executing and delivering a Notice of Participation no later than 5 Business Days after the effective date of such participation.

Each Lender severally agrees that if it, through the exercise of any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim against any Credit Party or otherwise, receives payment of the Obligations held by it that is ratably more than all Extensions of Credit (including Competitive Loans) made by any other Lender, through any means, then, subject to any applicable Requirement of Law: (a) the Lender exercising the right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or otherwise receiving such payment shall purchase, and shall be deemed to have simultaneously purchased, from the other Lenders a participation in the Obligations held by the other Lenders and shall pay to the other Lenders a purchase price in an amount so that the share of the Obligations held by each Lender after the exercise of the right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or receipt of payment shall be in the same proportion that existed prior to the exercise of the right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or receipt of payment; and (b) such other adjustments and purchases of participations shall be made from time to time as shall be equitable to ensure that all of the Lenders share any payment obtained in respect of the Obligations ratably in accordance with each Lender’s share of the Obligations immediately prior to, and without taking into account, the payment; provided that, if all or any portion of a disproportionate payment obtained as a result of the exercise of the right of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim or otherwise is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender by such Credit Party or any Person claiming through or succeeding to the rights of such Credit Party, the purchase of a participation shall be rescinded and the purchase price thereof shall be restored to the extent of the recovery, but without interest. Each Lender that purchases a participation in the Obligations pursuant to this Section shall from and after the purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased. Each Credit Party expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agree that any

Lender holding a participation in an Obligation so purchased may, to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable Requirement of Law, exercise any and all rights of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim with respect to the participation as fully as if the Lender were the original owner of the Obligation purchased.

Section 10.07. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement in any number of separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute but one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Company and the Administrative Agent.

Section 10.08. Severability. The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder shall not in any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder.

Section 10.09. No Third Parties Benefited. This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and their permitted successors and assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to any Person not a party to this Agreement or other Loan Documents.

Section 10.10. Time. Time is of the essence as to each term or provision of this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents.

Section 10.11. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION.

(a) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, COUNTY OF NEW YORK AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH CREDIT PARTY CONSENTS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THOSE COURTS. EACH CREDIT PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY REQUIREMENT OF LAW, ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN

SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT RELATED HERETO. EACH CREDIT PARTY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS, WHICH MAY BE MADE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PERMITTED BY NEW YORK LAW.

Section 10.12. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE CREDIT PARTIES, THE LENDERS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT EACH WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT-RELATED PERSON, PARTICIPANT OR ASSIGNEE, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, OR OTHERWISE. THE CREDIT PARTIES, THE LENDERS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT EACH AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF OR THEREOF. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

Section 10.13. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements and understandings of such Persons, verbal or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and any prior arrangements made with respect to the payment by the Credit Parties of (or any indemnification for) any fees, costs or expenses payable to or incurred (or to be incurred) by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

Section 10.14. Interpretation. This Agreement is the result of negotiations between and has been reviewed by counsel to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Company and other parties, and is the product of all parties hereto. Accordingly, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be construed against the Administrative Agent or any Lender merely because of the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s involvement in the preparation of such documents and agreements.

Section 10.15. Nature of Lenders’ Obligations. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint or joint and several. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document and no action taken by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any of them pursuant hereto or thereto may, or may be deemed to, make the Lenders a partnership, an association, a joint venture or other entity, either among themselves or with any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party. Each Lender’s obligation to make any Loan pursuant hereto is several and not joint or joint and several. A default by any Lender will not increase the Pro Rata Share attributable to any other Lender. Any Lender not in default may, if it desires, assume in such proportion as the nondefaulting Lenders agree the obligations of any Lender in default, but is not obligated to do so. The Administrative Agent agrees that it will use its best efforts either to induce the other Lenders to assume the obligations of a Lender in default or to obtain another Lender, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to replace such a Lender in default.

Section 10.16. Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) The Company shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any exchange or conversion of currencies in connection with Section 2.06 or otherwise, (iv) any civil penalty or fine assessed by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, Department of the Treasury, against the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and all reasonable costs or expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with the defense thereof, as a result of any violation of the representations made in Section 5.17, (v) the issuance of any Letter of Credit or (vi) the failure of the Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under any Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any Governmental Authority, (vii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries or (viii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. As between the Company and the Issuing Bank, the Company assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of a Letter of Credit by, a beneficiary of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of

the foregoing, no Indemnitee shall be responsible for any of the following: (A) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effects of any documents submitted by any party in connection with the request and application for and issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (B) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason whatsoever; (C) any failure of a beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply with any condition of drawing thereunder; (D) any errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not in cipher; (E) any error in interpretation; (F) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (G) any misapplication by a beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing thereunder; or (H) any consequences arising from or related to events or circumstances beyond the control of the Issuing Bank, including any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any Governmental Authority. In furtherance and not in limitation of the specific provisions herein set forth, any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit or related certificates, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not result in or give rise to any liability of any Indemnitee to the Company; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Issuing Bank from liability to the Company to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Company to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Company that are caused by the Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.

(b) The Company shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for funding costs or funding losses (excluding loss of margin) if prepayment or conversion of a IBOR Loan occurs prior to the end of an Interest Period, if caused or requested by any Credit Party or if any Credit Party fails to consummate a IBOR Loan because conditions precedent to borrowing or conversion are not satisfied.

Section 10.17. Nonliability of the Lenders. Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that the relationship between each Credit Party and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrowers and lenders; neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall under any circumstance be construed to be partners or joint venturers of any Credit Party or its Affiliates; neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall under any circumstance be deemed to be in a relationship of confidence or trust or a fiduciary relationship with any Credit Party or its Affiliates, or to owe any fiduciary duty to any Credit Party or its Affiliates; neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders undertake or assume any responsibility or duty to any Credit Party or its Affiliates to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform such Credit Party or its Affiliates of any matter in connection with its Property or the operations of such Credit Party or its Affiliates;

each Credit Party and its Affiliates shall rely entirely upon their own judgment with respect to such matters; and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information undertaken or assumed by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in connection with such matters is solely for the protection of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and neither any Credit Party nor any other Person is entitled to rely thereon.

Section 10.18. Failure to Charge Not Subsequent Waiver. Any decision by the Administrative Agent or any Lender not to require payment of any interest (including Default Interest), fee, cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document, or to calculate any amount payable by a particular method, on any occasion shall in no way limit or be deemed a waiver of the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s right to require full payment of any interest (including Default Interest), fee, cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document, or to calculate an amount payable by another method that is not inconsistent with this Agreement, on any other or subsequent occasion.

Section 10.19. Headings. Section headings in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are included for convenience of reference only and are not part of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents for any other purpose.

Section 10.20. Foreign Lenders and Participants. Each Lender, and each holder of a participation interest herein, that is a “foreign corporation, partnership or trust” within the meaning of the Code shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, (a) within 20 days after the Closing Date, or (b) prior to accepting an assignment or receiving a participation interest herein in respect of Dollar Loans, two duly signed completed copies of either Form W-8BEN (relating to such Person and entitling it to a complete exemption from withholding on all payments to be made to such Person by any Credit Party pursuant to this Agreement) or Form W-8ECI (relating to all payments to be made to such Person by any Credit Party pursuant to this Agreement) of the United States Internal Revenue Service or such other evidence (including, if reasonably necessary, Form W-8 or W-9) satisfactory to the Company and the Administrative Agent that no withholding under the U.S. federal income tax laws is required with respect to such Person. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Person shall (a) promptly submit to the Administrative Agent two such additional duly completed and signed copies of one of such forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available under then current United States laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is satisfactory to the Company and the Administrative Agent of any available exemption from, United States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Person by the Company pursuant to this Agreement and (b) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office, if any) to avoid any Requirement of Law that the Company make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Person. If such Person fails to timely deliver the above forms or other documentation, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from any

interest payment to such Person an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax imposed by Sections 1441 and 1442 of the Code, without reduction. If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold any tax or other amount from payments made in respect of such Person, such Person shall indemnify the Administrative Agent therefor, including all penalties and interest and costs and expenses (including reasonable Attorneys Fees of the Administrative Agent. The obligation of the Lenders under this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent.

For purposes of the foregoing, “confidential information” shall mean any information respecting any Credit Party or its Subsidiaries reasonably considered by such Credit Party to be confidential, other than (i) information previously filed with any Governmental Authority and available to the public, (ii) information previously published in any public medium from a source other than, directly or indirectly, that Lender, and (iii) information previously disclosed by any Credit Party to any Person on a non-confidential basis. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to create or give rise to any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to any Credit Party.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto (and each employee, representative, or other agent of any such party) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such party relating to such U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure, other than any information for which nondisclosure is reasonably necessary in order to comply with applicable securities laws.
