“Agreement” has the meaning assigned to such term in the preamble hereto.

“Alternate Base Rate” means, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the greater of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus ¹/2 of 1% and (c) the Eurocurrency Rate on such day (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) for a one-month Interest Period commencing two Business Days thereafter plus 1%. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or such Eurocurrency Rate shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or such Eurodollar Rate, respectively.

“Applicable Percentage” means, with respect to any Lender, the percentage of the total Commitments represented by such Lender’s Commitment; provided that in the case of Section 2.22 when a Defaulting Lender shall exist, “Applicable Percentage” shall mean the percentage of the total Commitments (disregarding any Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) represented by such Lender’s Commitment. If the Commitments have terminated or expired, the Applicable Percentages shall be determined based upon the Commitments most recently in effect, giving effect to any assignments and to any Lender’s status as a Defaulting Lender at the time of determination.

“Applicable Rate” means, for any day, with respect to any ABR Loan or Eurocurrency Loan, or with respect to the facility fees and utilization fees payable hereunder, as the case may be, the applicable rate per annum set forth below under the caption “ABR Spread”, “Eurocurrency Spread”, “Fed Funds Spread”, “Facility Fee Rate” or “Utilization Fee Rate”, as the case may be, based upon the ratings by Moody’s and S&P, respectively, applicable on such date to the Index Debt and the Utilization on such Date. The Eurocurrency Spread shall be applicable to Eurocurrency Borrowings and Overnight Eurocurrency Borrowings:

Each change in the Applicable Rate shall apply during the period commencing on the effective date of such change and ending on the date immediately preceding the effective date of the next such change. If the rating system of Moody’s or S&P changes, or if either such rating agency ceases to be in the business of rating corporate debt obligations, the Borrower and the Lenders shall negotiate in good faith to amend this definition to reflect such changed rating system or the unavailability of ratings from such rating agency and, pending the effectiveness of any such amendment, the Applicable Rate shall be determined by reference to the rating most recently in effect prior to such change or cessation.

Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all computations of amounts and ratios referred to in this Agreement shall be made without giving effect to any election under FASB ASC Topic 825 “Financial Instruments” (or any other financial accounting standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Parent or any Subsidiary at “fair value” as defined therein.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender agrees to make revolving credit loans (“Revolving Loans”) denominated in Dollars or denominated in one or more Foreign Currencies, to the Borrower or any Designated Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (a) such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding such Lender’s Commitment, or (b) the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the aggregate Commitments. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower or any Designated Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow the Revolving Loans. Each Lender may, at its option, make any Loan available to the Borrower or any Designated Borrower by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that, any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of such Designated Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.02. Loans and Borrowings. (a) Each Revolving Loan shall be made as part of a Revolving Borrowing made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

(b) Subject to Section 2.12, each Revolving Borrowing in Dollars shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans, Fed Funds Loans or Eurocurrency Loans as the Borrower or the relevant Designated Borrower may request in accordance herewith.

Each Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan or a Fed Funds Loan as the Borrower or the relevant Designated Borrower may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurocurrency Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower or any Designated Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Each Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, Fed Funds Revolving Borrowing or Overnight Eurocurrency Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 or, in the case of any such Borrowing in a Foreign Currency, the approximate Dollar Equivalent thereof or such other amount as shall be acceptable to the Administrative Agent. Each ABR Revolving Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000; provided that an ABR Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Commitments.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower or any Designated Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date.

SECTION 2.03. Requests for Revolving Borrowings. (a) To request a Borrowing, the Borrower or any Designated Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (x) in the case of a Eurocurrency Borrowing not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing, (y) in the case of an Overnight Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 9:00 a.m., Local Time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing or (z) in the case of an ABR Borrowing or a Fed Funds Borrowing, not later than 12:00 Noon, Local Time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such telephonic Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile (or in any other manner approved pursuant to Section 9.01(b)) to the Administrative Agent of a written Borrowing Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower or any Designated Borrower. Each such telephonic and written Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i)

the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;

(ii)

the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii)

whether such Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing, a Fed Funds Borrowing, a Eurocurrency Borrowing or an Overnight Eurocurrency Borrowing;

(vi)

the location and number of the Borrower’s or the relevant Designated Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 2.05.

If no election as to the Type of Revolving Borrowing is specified, then the requested Revolving Borrowing if it is denominated in Dollars shall be an ABR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Eurocurrency Borrowing, then the Borrower or the relevant Designated Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing. Fed Funds Borrowings (including the Fed Funds Borrowings requested as Swingline Loans) and Overnight Eurocurrency Borrowings shall not, in either case, be requested more than five times in any calendar month.

(b) Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall have the ability to act through its London Office under this Article II.

SECTION 2.04. Swingline Loans. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans denominated in Dollars to the Borrower

or any Designated Borrower from time to time during the Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans of any Swingline Lender exceeding its Swingline Commitment (except to the extent such Swingline Lender otherwise agrees at the time of any such Swingline Loan) or (ii) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the total Commitments; provided that no Swingline Lender shall be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower or any Designated Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans. Swingline Loans shall not be required to be borrowed from the Swingline Lenders on a pro rata basis.

(b) To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower or any Designated Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by facsimile (or in any other manner approved pursuant to Section 9.01(b))), not later than 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the relevant Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Borrower or a Designated Borrower. Such Swingline Lender shall make such Swingline Loan available to the Borrower or such Designated Borrower, as the case may be, by means of a credit by 6:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan to the general deposit account of the Borrower or such Designated Borrower in New York with the Swingline Lender or to an account maintained with the Administrative Agent or such Swingline Lender and designated by the Borrower or such Designated Borrower in the request for such Swingline Loan. A Swingline Loan denominated in Dollars shall be an ABR Loan or Fed Funds Loan, as designated in the request therefor.

(c) A Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on any Business Day require the Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of its Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including 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. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.05 with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.05 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders with respect thereto), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower or the relevant Designated Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by any Swingline Lender from the Borrower or any Designated Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower or such Designated Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by such Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to such Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to such Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as

applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower or such Designated Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower or any Designated Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

SECTION 2.05. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Revolving Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 noon, Local Time (or 3 p.m., Local Time, in the case of a Borrowing of ABR Loans or Fed Fund Loans following same day notice therefor), to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower or the relevant Designated Borrower, as the case may be, by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account in the relevant currency maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York City or London (or at such other location as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent) and designated by the Borrower or such Designated Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower or the relevant Designated Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower or such Designated Borrower, as the case may be, severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower or such Designated Borrower, as the case may be, to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation (or, if greater, the Fed Funds Effective Rate (for a Borrowing in Dollars) or the Overnight Eurocurrency Rate (for a Borrowing in a Foreign Currency)) or (ii) in the case of the Borrower or such Designated Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans (in the case of a Borrowing in Dollars) or Overnight Eurocurrency Loans (in the case of a Borrowing that is not in Dollars). If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.06. Interest Elections. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower or the relevant Designated Borrower, as the case may be, may elect to convert such Borrowing (if it is a Borrowing in Dollars) to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower or the relevant Designated Borrower, as the case may be, may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower or the relevant Designated Borrower, as the case may be, shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the

effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile (or in any other manner approved pursuant to Section 9.01(b)) to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and signed by the Borrower or such Designated Borrower.

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

(i)

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

(ii)

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

(iii)

whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing, a Fed Funds Borrowing, a Eurocurrency Borrowing or an Overnight Eurocurrency Borrowing; and

(iv)

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

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

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

(e) If the Borrower or the relevant Designated Borrower, as the case may be, fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall, if such Borrowing is denominated in Dollars, be converted to an ABR Borrowing and, if such borrowing is denominated in a Foreign Currency, be continued for an Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (x) (i) no outstanding Revolving Borrowing in Dollars may be converted to or continued as a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing in Dollars shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (y) any Revolving Borrowing in a Foreign Currency shall be continued as a Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing only with an Interest Period of seven days or one month.

(f) For a Revolving Loan in one currency to be converted to a Revolving Loan in another currency, such Revolving Loan shall be repaid and reborrowed, except as contemplated in Section 2.14(e).

SECTION 2.07. Termination and Reduction of Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date.

(b) Subject to Section 2.07(c), the Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $5,000,000 and not less than $25,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of any Loans in accordance with Section 2.09, the sum of the Revolving Credit Exposures hereunder is greater than the Commitments.

(c) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election terminate or reduce the Commitments under paragraph (b) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments.

SECTION 2.08. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) Each of the Borrower and the Designated Borrowers hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan made to the Borrower or such Designated Borrower on the Maturity Date (or, in the case of any Fed Funds Rate Revolving Loan or Overnight Eurocurrency Revolving Loan, if sooner and to the extent not then being converted pursuant to Section 2.06, the date three Business Days after the date of a Borrowing hereof) and (ii) to each Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Maturity Date and the first date after such Swingline Loan made by such Swingline Lender is made that is the 15th or last day of a calendar month and is at least five Business Days after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Borrowing denominated in Dollars is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding for more than three Business Days.

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

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount and currency of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower or any Designated Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

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

(e) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by promissory notes. In such event, the Administrative Agent shall prepare and each of the Borrower and the Designated Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.09. Optional Prepayment of Loans. (a) Each of the Borrower and the Designated Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing made by it in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section.

(b) The Borrower or the relevant Designated Borrower, as the case may be, shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the relevant Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by facsimile (or in any other manner approved pursuant to Section 9.01(b))) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, a Fed Funds Borrowing or an Overnight Eurocurrency Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., Local Time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount and currency of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.07, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.07. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the relevant Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type and in the same currency as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.11.

SECTION 2.10. Mandatory Prepayments of Revolving Loans. If, on any Calculation Date, the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures exceed 105% of the aggregate Commitments, the Borrower and/or any Designated Borrower shall, without notice or demand, within five Business Days after such Calculation Date, prepay Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans in an aggregate amount such that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposures do not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments.

SECTION 2.11. Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee, which shall accrue at the Applicable Rate on the daily amount of the Commitment of such Lender (whether used or unused) during the period from and including the date hereof to but excluding the date on which such Commitment terminates; provided that, if such Lender continues to have any Revolving Credit Exposures after its Commitment terminates, then such facility fee shall continue to accrue on the daily amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposures from and including the date on which its Commitment terminates to but excluding the date on which such Lender ceases to have any Revolving Credit Exposures.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders a utilization fee, which shall accrue for each day at the Applicable Rate on the aggregate principal amount of the Loans outstanding on each day when Utilization is greater than 50% during the period from and including the date hereof to but excluding the date on which the Commitments terminate;

provided that, if any Loan continues to be outstanding after the Commitments terminate, then utilization fee shall continue to accrue on the aggregate principal amount of the Loans from and including the date on which the Commitments terminate to but excluding the date on which Loans are paid in full.

(c) Accrued facility fees and utilization fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing September 30, 2007 and on the date on which the Commitments terminate; provided that any facility fees or utilization fees accruing after the date on which the Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. All facility fees and utilization 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).

(d) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

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

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurocurrency Revolving Borrowing shall bear interest at the Eurocurrency Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(d) The Loans comprising each Overnight Eurocurrency Borrowing shall bear interest at the Overnight Eurocurrency Rate in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower or the relevant Designated Borrower, as the case may be, hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section , (ii) in the case of any other amount denominated in Dollars, 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section and (iii) in the case of any other amount denominated in a Foreign Currency, the Overnight Eurocurrency Rate for such Foreign Currency plus the Applicable Rate plus 2%.

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

(g) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate and interest on Eurocurrency Loans or Overnight Eurocurrency Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency for which the customary rate base is a year of 365 days shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Fed Funds Rate, Eurocurrency Rate or Overnight Eurocurrency Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and any such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.13. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurocurrency Borrowing denominated in any currency:

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

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

(c) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower and the relevant Designated Borrowers) that deposits in the applicable Foreign Currency are not generally available, or cannot be obtained by the relevant Lenders, in the applicable market (any Foreign Currency affected by the circumstances described in clause (a), (b) or (c) is referred to as an “Affected Foreign Currency”),

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower or the relevant Designated Borrower, as the case may be, and the Lenders by telephone or facsimile (or in any other manner approved pursuant to Section 9.01(b)) as promptly as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) pursuant to clause (a) or (b) of this Section 2.13 in respect of any Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars, then (i) any Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (ii) any ABR Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurocurrency Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (iii) any outstanding Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Loans and (y) in respect of any Revolving Loans in an Affected Foreign Currency, then (i) such Revolving Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall not be made and (ii) any outstanding Revolving Loans in an Affected Foreign Currency shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to Revolving Loans denominated in Dollars. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars or in an Affected Foreign Currency, as applicable, shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert ABR Loans to Eurocurrency Loans.

SECTION 2.14. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including any such requirement in the nature of a Eurocurrency Reserve Requirement) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender; or

(ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurocurrency Loans or Overnight Eurocurrency Loans in any currency made by such Lender or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurocurrency Loan or Overnight Eurocurrency Loan in such currency (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then, upon the request of such Lender, the Borrower or the relevant Designated Borrower, as the case may be, will pay to such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

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

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

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower or the relevant Designated Borrower, as the case may be, shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower in writing of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if, (i) any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any such Lender to make or maintain any Revolving Loan denominated in a Foreign Currency or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Revolving Loan, or (ii) there shall have occurred any change in national or international financial, political or economic conditions (including the imposition of or any change in exchange controls, but excluding conditions otherwise covered by this Section 2.14) which would make it impracticable for the Lenders to make or maintain Revolving Loans denominated in a Foreign Currency after the Effective Date to, or for the account of, the Borrower or the relevant Designated Borrower, then, by written notice to the Borrower or the relevant Designated Borrower and to the Administrative Agent:

(i)

such Lender or Lenders may declare that Revolving Loans denominated in such Foreign Currency will not thereafter (for the duration of such unlawfulness) be made by such Lender or Lenders hereunder (or be continued for additional Interest Periods), whereupon any request for a Revolving Loan denominated in such Foreign Currency or to continue a Revolving Loan denominated in such Foreign Currency, as the case may be, for an additional Interest Period) shall, as to such Lender or Lenders only, be of no force and effect, unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and

(ii)

such Lender may require that all outstanding Revolving Loans denominated in such Foreign Currency made by it be converted to ABR Loans, Fed Funds Loans or Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars, as the case may be (unless repaid by the Borrower or the relevant Designated Borrower, as the case may be), in which event all such Revolving Loans denominated in such Foreign Currency shall be so converted, as of the effective date of such notice as provided in paragraph (f) below and at the Exchange Rate on the date of such conversion or, at the option of the Borrower or the relevant Designated Borrower, as the case may be, repaid on the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto or, if earlier, the date on which the applicable notice becomes effective.

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise have been applied to repay the converted Revolving Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans, Fed Funds Loans or Eurocurrency Loans denominated in Dollars, as the case may be, made by such Lender resulting from such conversion.

(f) For purposes of Section 2.14(e), a notice to the Borrower or the relevant Designated Borrower by any Lender shall be effective as to each Revolving Loan denominated in the relevant Foreign Currency made by such Lender, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period currently applicable to such Revolving Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt thereof by the Borrower or the relevant Designated Borrower.

SECTION 2.15. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.09(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower or any Designated Borrower pursuant to Section 2.17, then, in any such event, the Borrower or the relevant Designated Borrower, as the case may be, shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurocurrency Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Eurocurrency Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for deposits in the relevant currency of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurocurrency market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered

to the Borrower or the relevant Designated Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower or the relevant Designated Borrower, as the case may be, shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 Business Days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.16. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any Designated Borrower shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if the Borrower or such Designated Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions for Indemnified Tax and Other Taxes (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower or such Designated Borrower shall make such deductions for Indemnified Tax and Other Taxes and (iii) the Borrower or such Designated Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Borrower or the relevant Designated Borrower, as the case may be, shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) The Borrower or the relevant Designated Borrower, as the case may be, shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or such Designated Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that, the Administrative Agent or the Lender, as the case may be, shall cooperate with the Borrower or the relevant Designated Borrower for the refund of incorrectly or illegally imposed Taxes. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower or such Designated Borrower by a Lender or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower or the relevant Designated Borrower, as the case may be, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower or the relevant Designated Borrower, as the case may be, is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower or such Designated Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or such Designated Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

(f) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or any Designated Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower or any Designated Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower or such

Designated Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by it under this Section 2.16 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrower or such Designated Borrower, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower or such Designated Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

SECTION 2.17. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) The Borrower or the relevant Designated Borrower, as the case may be, shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or of amounts payable under Section 2.14, 2.14 or 2.16, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, Local time, on the date when due, in Dollars or the relevant Foreign Currency and in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at the New York Office or London Office, as the case may be, except payments to be made directly to the Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof, in each case on a ratable basis. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars or the relevant Foreign Currency.

(b) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Revolving Loans or Swingline Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans (using the then current Exchange Rates); provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

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

(d) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.05(b), 2.16(f) or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

SECTION 2.18. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests, or expects to request, compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower or the relevant Designated Borrower, as the case may be, is required to, expects to be required to, pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder with respect thereto to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.16, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise subject such Lender to any regulatory, legal or financial disadvantage. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or if the Borrower or any Designated Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, or if any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder or becomes a Defaulting Lender, or if any Lender fails to consent to a proposed amendment or waiver which is consented to by the Required Holders but which requires a unanimous approval of all Lenders, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be

required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 2.19. Judgment Currency. (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction, the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligations of the Borrower or relevant Designated Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower or such Designated Borrower as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agrees to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Borrower or the relevant Designated Borrower contained in this Section 2.19 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

SECTION 2.20. Foreign Currency Exchange Rate. (a) No later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on each Calculation Date with respect to a Foreign Currency, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Exchange Rate as of such Calculation Date with respect to such Foreign Currency. The Exchange Rates so determined shall become effective on the relevant Calculation Date (a “Reset Date”), shall remain effective until the next succeeding Reset Date and shall for all purposes of this Agreement (other than Section 2.14(e) and any other provision requiring the use of a current Exchange Rate) be the Exchange Rates employed in converting any amounts between Dollars and Foreign Currencies.

(b) No later than 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on each Reset Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the aggregate amount of the Dollar Equivalents of the principal amounts of the Revolving Loans denominated in Foreign Currencies then outstanding (after giving effect to any Revolving Loans to be made or repaid on such date).

(c) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Designated Borrower of each determination of an Exchange Rate hereunder.

SECTION 2.21. Additional Foreign Currencies. (a) The Borrower or any Designated Borrower may from time to time in accordance with Article II request that Eurocurrency Revolving Loans be made in currencies other than those specifically listed in the definition of “Foreign Currency”; provided that, such requested currency is a lawful currency (other than Dollars, Pounds Sterling and Euros) that is readily available and freely transferable and convertible into Dollars. In the case of any such request with respect to the making of Eurocurrency Revolving Loans, such request shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.

(b) Any such request shall be made to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 am London time, 20 Business Days prior to the date of the desired Credit Extension (or such other time or date as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender thereof. Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent, not later than 11:00 am London time, 10 Business Days after receipt of such request whether it consents, in its sole discretion, to the making of such Eurocurrency Revolving Loans in such requested currency.

(c) Any failure by a Lender to respond to such request within the time period specified in the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a refusal by such Lender to permit Eurocurrency Loans to be made in such requested currency. If the Administrative Agent and all the Lenders consent to making Eurocurrency Loans in such requested currency, the Administrative Agent shall so notify the Borrower or the relevant Designated Borrower and such currency shall thereupon be deemed for all purposes to be a Foreign Currency hereunder for purposes of any Borrowings of Eurocurrency Loans. If the Administrative Agent shall fail to obtain consent to any request for an additional currency under this Section 2.21, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Borrower or the relevant Designated Borrower.

SECTION 2.22. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) fees shall cease to accrue on the unused Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.11(a) and (b), as applicable;

(b) the Commitment and Revolving Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided, that this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender affected thereby;

(c) if any Swingline Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then (i) all or any part of the Swingline Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments; and (ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent, prepay such Swingline Exposure; and

(d) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, each Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan, and participating interests in any newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.22(c)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to any Person as to which any Lender is, directly or indirectly, a subsidiary shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) any Swingline Lender has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, such Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan unless such Swingline Lender shall have entered into arrangements with the Parent, the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to such Swingline Lender, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

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

SECTION 2.23. Extended Commitments. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary:

(a) On or prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding Revolving Loans as necessary so that on such date, for purposes of effecting the cancellation of portions of the Commitments of the Extending Lenders as provided for in paragraph (b) of this Section 2.23, there shall be no outstanding Revolving Loans. Following such cancellations, on such effective date or thereafter, the Borrower may reborrow under the Commitments (including the Extended Commitments) as then in effect.

(b) On or prior to the Second Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding Swingline Loans in full.

(c) On the Second Amendment Effective Date, each Lender which is listed as having an “Extended Commitment” on Schedule 2.01 shall become an Extending Lender, and (i) the part of its Commitment in effect immediately prior to such effective date which is designated as its “Extended Commitment” on Schedule 2.01 shall be converted to be an Extended Commitment, (ii) the remaining portion of such Commitment shall be cancelled (but for each Extending Lender the portion of its Commitment in effect immediately prior to such effective date that will be cancelled will not be equal to more than 30/70ths of its Extended Commitment) and (iii) the Maturity Date as applicable to such Extended Commitment and any Revolving Loans made thereunder shall be extended to the Extended Maturity Date.

(d) On the Second Amendment Effective Date, the Swingline Commitment of each Extending Lender that is a Swingline Lender shall be reduced to be equal to its Extended Commitment, and the Swingline Commitment of each Lender which is not an Extending Lender (a “Non-Extending Lender”) shall be irrevocably terminated.

(e) On the Second Amendment Effective Date, the Commitment of Lehman Commercial Paper Inc. (the “Exiting Lender”) shall be irrevocably terminated, and the Exiting Lender shall no longer have any obligation under the Credit Agreement.

(f) On the Second Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower and the Designated Borrowers shall pay all accrued interest and fees hereunder.

(g) If on any date after the Second Amendment Effective Date, all or any part of the Commitment of a Non-Extending Lender is assigned to a new Lender or an Extending Lender and such new Lender or Extending Lender is willing for all or any part of such Commitment to be converted to be an Extended Commitment, such Lender shall give notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Promptly following its receipt of such notice, the Borrower and Administrative Agent shall notify such new Lender or Extending Lender as to whether each is willing to consent to such conversion.

If such consents are given, on the first Business Day following such notice which either is a day on which no Revolving Credit Exposures are outstanding or is June 15, 2012 (or, if such conversion is of all of such Commitment, on the fifth Business Day following such consent), such conversion shall become effective and the non-extended portion of such Commitment shall be cancelled (but the portion of such Commitment that will be cancelled will not be equal to more than 30/70ths of the Extended Commitment), provided that the aggregate amount of the Extended Commitments (including any Additional Commitments) shall not at any time exceed $1,000,000,000. In connection with any such conversion, the Borrower may pay such new Lender or Extending Lender, directly or through the Administrative Agent, such fees with respect thereto as it may agree with such new Lender or Extending Lender.

(h) From the Second Amendment Effective Date to June 15, 2012, all Revolving Loans shall be made and prepaid or repaid ratably in accordance with the Commitments (including the Extended Commitments and any Additional Commitments) of the Lenders from time to time in effect. On June 15, 2012, only the Revolving Loans that are not Extended Revolving Loans shall be due and payable, and each of the Extending Lenders consents and agrees to the payment thereof and agrees that Section 2.17(b) shall not apply to such payment. Commencing on June 15, 2012, all Revolving Loans shall be made and prepaid or repaid ratably in accordance with the Extended Commitments.

(i) From the Second Amendment Effective Date to June 15, 2012, the Revolving Credit Exposures in respect of the Swingline Loans shall be allocated ratably in accordance with the Commitments (including the Extended Commitments and any Additional Commitments) of the Lenders from time to time in effect. The Borrower and the Designated Borrowers shall repay each Swingline Loan outstanding on June 15, 2012 on such day. Commencing on June 15, 2012, the Revolving Credit Exposures in respect of any Swingline Loans shall be allocated ratably in accordance with the Extended Commitments.

SECTION 2.24. Additional Commitments. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time on or after the Second Amendment Effective Date, to agree with any Lender upon an increase in the Commitment of such Lender or to add as a “Lender” with a new Commitment another financial institution or other entity (each such Lender or other financial institution or entity, an “Additional Commitment Lender,” and each such Commitment, an “Additional Commitment”), provided that the aggregate amount of the Additional Commitments obtained on or after the Second Amendment Effective Date shall not exceed $250,000,000 and the aggregate amount of the Extended Commitments (including any Additional Commitments) shall not at any time exceed $1,000,000,000. Each Additional Commitment shall be an Extended Commitment of the Additional Commitment Lender in the full amount thereof, as such amount may be (a) reduced from time to time pursuant to Section 2.07 and (b) as to any Additional Lender or assignee thereof, reduced or increased from time to time pursuant to assignments by or to it pursuant to Section 9.04. Upon any Additional Commitment becoming effective, the Borrower shall borrow such Revolving Loans thereunder and make such prepayments of the other Revolving Loans as may be required in order to make the outstanding Revolving Loans under such Additional Commitment ratable with the Revolving Loans outstanding under the other Commitments, all in a manner as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent in consultation with the Borrower and the relevant Additional Commitment Lender, it being understood that such determinations may modify and supersede other provisions hereof as to requirements for notice, minimum amounts, Interest Periods and other similar items, but any required prepayments shall in any event be subject to Section 2.15. The terms applicable to any Additional Commitment and the Revolving Loans hereunder shall be the same terms as are applicable to the Extended Commitments and the Extended Revolving Loans. Each Additional Commitment Lender shall enter into documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to evidence and provide for its Additional Commitment. Any Additional Commitment Lender which is not a Lender shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

In connection with any Additional Commitment Lender made after the Second Amendment Effective Date the Borrower may pay the relevant Additional Commitment Lender, directly or through the Administrative Agent, such fees with respect thereto as it may agree with such Additional Commitment Lender.

ARTICLE VIII

The Administrative Agent

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

The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Parent or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided

in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Parent or the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

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

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor reasonably acceptable to the Borrower (except that the Borrower’s consent shall not be required if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent reasonably acceptable to the Borrower (except that the Borrower’s consent shall not be required if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

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

(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, 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 reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one 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 actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property

owned or operated by the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) 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 are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

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

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Parent, the Borrower and each of the Designated Borrowers shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

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

SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Parent, the Borrower or any Designated Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Parent, the Borrower or any Designated Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of:

(A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; and

(B) the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of any Commitment to an assignee that is a Lender with a Commitment immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment.

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

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $10,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, which Assignment and Assumption shall specify the amount of Commitments and/or Loans to be assigned that are Extended Commitments and/or Extended Revolving Loans, as the case may be, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, which fees shall not be payable by the Borrower, except in connection with the replacement of a Lender pursuant to Section 2.17;

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

(E) no assignments may be made to any natural persons.

For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the term “Approved Fund” has the following meaning:

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

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a

register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.04(c), 2.05(b), 2.16(f) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.17(c) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 or 2.16 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.16 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.16(e) as though it were a Lender.

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

SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Parent, the Borrower or any Designated Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile (or in any other manner approved pursuant to Section 9.01(b)) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Parent, the Borrower or any Designated Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower or any Designated Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

(b) Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(c) Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
