NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto hereby agree that the Prior Credit Agreement is amended and restated as follows:

SECTION 2.01. Commitments.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender and each Fronting Bank (as applicable) agrees, severally and not jointly, as follows: (i) each Lender agrees to make Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrower at any time and from time to time until the Commitment Termination Date of such Lender up to the amount of such Lender’s Available Commitment; (ii) each Fronting Bank agrees to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower at any time and from time to time until such Fronting Bank’s Fronting Bank Termination Date in an aggregate stated amount at any time outstanding not to exceed such Fronting Bank’s LC Fronting Bank Commitment; and (iii) each Lender agrees to purchase participations in such Letters of Credit as more fully set forth in Section 2.17.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at no time shall (A) the aggregate amount of Outstanding Credits exceed the Total Commitment, (B) any Lender’s Outstanding Credits exceed the amount of such Lender’s Commitment and (C) any Fronting Bank make any Extension of Credit relating to a Letter of Credit if such Extension of Credit would cause (x) the aggregate amount of Outstanding Credits to exceed the Total Commitment or (y) the aggregate LC Outstandings relating to such Fronting Bank to exceed such Fronting Bank’s LC Fronting Bank Commitment.

(b) Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow, pay or prepay Revolving Credit Loans and request new Extensions of Credit on and after the date hereof and prior to the latest Commitment Termination Date subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein.

SECTION 2.02. Revolving Credit Loans.

(a) Each Revolving Credit Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Revolving Credit Loans made or Converted by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments; provided, however, that the failure of any Revolving Credit Lender to make any Revolving Credit Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Revolving Credit Loan required to be made by such other Lender). The Revolving Credit Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $10,000,000 (or an aggregate principal amount equal to the remaining balance of the Available Commitments).

(b) Each Borrowing under this Section 2.02 shall be comprised entirely of Eurodollar Loans or ABR Loans, as the Borrower may request pursuant to Section 2.03. Each Lender may at its option make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Revolving Credit Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Revolving Credit Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time. No more than 18 Eurodollar Borrowings may be outstanding at any time.

-27-

(c) Each Lender shall make each Revolving Credit Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Agent in New York, New York, not later than noon, New York City time, and the Agent shall by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, credit the amounts so received to the account or accounts specified from time to time in one or more notices delivered by the Borrower to the Agent or, if a Borrowing shall not occur on such date because any condition precedent herein specified shall not have been met or otherwise waived, return the amounts so received to the respective Lenders. Revolving Credit Loans shall be made by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with Section 2.12. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s portion of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with this subsection (c) and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Agent, such Lender and the Borrower (without waiving any claim against such Lender for such Lender’s failure to make such portion available) severally agree to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Revolving Credit Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Effective Rate. If such Lender shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Credit Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

Period; provided, however, that any Conversion of, or with respect to, any Eurodollar Loans shall be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loans, unless the Borrower shall also reimburse the Lenders in respect thereof pursuant to Section 8.05(b) on the date of such Conversion.

(c) Mandatory Conversion, Etc.

If no Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing is specified in any such Borrowing Request or Conversion Notice, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration (subject to the limitations set forth in the definition of “Interest Period”).

(d) General Provisions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Borrower may not borrow Loans at the Eurodollar Rate or Convert Loans resulting in Eurodollar Loans at any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Eurodollar Borrowing shall be requested or Converted if the Interest Period with respect thereto would end after any Commitment Termination Date.

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders, a fee (the “LC Fee”) on the daily average Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit issued by any Fronting Bank during the preceding quarter, calculated at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans (regardless of whether any such Revolving Credit Loans are then outstanding).

The Commitment Fee due to each Lender shall commence to accrue on the date of this Agreement, and shall cease to accrue on the date of termination of such Lender’s Commitment, as provided herein. All Fronting Fees and LC Fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days that each Letter of Credit is outstanding, assuming a year of 360 days, and shall be payable in arrears on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 (with the first payment being due on December 31, 2011), and on the date that such Letter of Credit expires or is drawn in full.

(e) The Borrower agrees to pay the Agent the fees from time to time payable to it in its capacity as Agent pursuant to the Fee Letters (the “Administrative Fees”).

(f) All Fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Agent for distribution, if and as appropriate, among the Lenders. Once paid, none of the Fees shall be refundable under any circumstances.

(d) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to subsections (b) and (c) above shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Outstanding Credits in accordance with their terms.

-30-

SECTION 2.06. Interest on Loans.

(a) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal to the LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin from time to time in effect for Eurodollar Borrowings.

(b) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing, including each Swingline Loan, shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of (i) 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, for periods during which the Alternate Base Rate is determined by reference to the Prime Rate and (ii) 360 days for other periods) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin from time to time in effect for ABR Borrowings.

SECTION 2.07. Alternate Rate of Interest.

In the event, and on each occasion, that on the day two Business Days prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing the Agent shall have determined (i) that dollar deposits in the principal amounts of the Eurodollar Loans comprising such Borrowing are not generally available in the London interbank market or (ii) that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate, the Agent shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, give facsimile notice of such determination to the Borrower and the Lenders. In the event of any such determination under clause (i) or (ii) above, until the Agent shall have advised the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.03 shall be deemed to be a request for an ABR Borrowing. In the event the Required Lenders notify the Agent that the rates at which dollar deposits are being offered will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining Eurodollar Loans during such Interest Period, the Agent shall notify the Borrower of such notice and until the Required Lenders shall have advised the Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any request by the Borrower for a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be deemed a request for an ABR Borrowing. Each determination by the Agent hereunder shall be made in good faith and shall be conclusive absent manifest error; provided that the Agent, shall, upon request, promptly provide to the Borrower a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination.

(c) Each reduction in the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, on the date of each termination or reduction of the Commitments, the Commitment Fee on the amount of the Available Commitments so terminated or reduced, in each case accrued through the date of such termination or reduction.

SECTION 2.09. Prepayment.

Prepayments of Swingline Loans are permitted in accordance with Section 2.18(c). Each Prepayment Notice shall be irrevocable; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.08(b), then such Prepayment Notice may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.08(b).

-32-

(b) On any date on which the Total Commitment shall be reduced pursuant to Section 2.08(b) above, the Borrower shall, with respect to outstanding Loans, prepay such Loans and/or, with respect to LC Outstandings, deliver cash collateral to be held by the Agent in the Cash Collateral Account to the extent and for the duration necessary to cause the Outstanding Credits minus the amount of cash held in the Cash Collateral Account to be no greater than the Total Commitment (after giving effect to any such reduction pursuant to Section 2.08(b)). At such time that cash is no longer required to be held by the Agent as collateral under this Section 2.09(b), the Agent will repay and reassign to the Borrower any such cash then on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account, and the Lien of the Agent on the Cash Collateral Account with respect to such cash shall automatically terminate.

SECTION 2.10. Increased Costs.

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

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (including, without limitation, any reserve requirement under regulations of the Board to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency Liabilities), the Swingline Lender or any Fronting Bank;

(ii) subject any Credit Party to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (i) through (iv) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on any Lender, the Swingline Lender or any Fronting Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Credit Party of making, Converting or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Credit Party of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such other Credit Party hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or such other Credit Party, the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such other Credit Party, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such other Credit Party, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

-33-

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

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

(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender, the Swingline Lender or any Fronting Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s, the Swingline Lender’s or such Fronting Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender, the Swingline Lender or a Fronting Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender, the Swingline Lender or such Fronting Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s, the Swingline Lender’s or such Fronting Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

SECTION 2.11. Change in Legality.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain any Eurodollar Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to any Eurodollar Loan, then, by written notice to the Borrower and to the Agent, such Lender may:

(i) declare that Eurodollar Loans will not thereafter be made by such Lender hereunder, whereupon any request for a Eurodollar Borrowing shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for an ABR Loan unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn (any Lender delivering such a declaration hereby agreeing to withdraw such declaration promptly upon determining that such event of illegality no longer exists); and

-34-

(ii) require that all outstanding Eurodollar Loans made by it be Converted to ABR Loans, in which event all such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically Converted to ABR Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in subsection (b) below.

In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights under (i) or (ii) above, all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise have been applied to repay the Eurodollar Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the Converted Eurodollar Loans of such Lender shall instead be applied to repay the ABR Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the Conversion of, such Eurodollar Loans.

(b) For purposes of this Section, a notice by any Lender shall be effective as to each Eurodollar Loan, if lawful, on the last day of the Interest Period currently applicable to such Eurodollar Loan; in all other cases such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt.

SECTION 2.12. Pro Rata Treatment.

Except as required under Sections 2.10, 2.15, 2.20 and 2.21, each Extension of Credit, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing, each payment of interest on the Loans, each payment of a reimbursement obligation in respect of a drawn Letter of Credit, each payment of Commitment Fees and LC Fees, each reduction of the Total Commitment and each Conversion of any Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans, shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages (or, if such Lender’s Commitment shall have expired or been terminated, in accordance with the respective principal amounts of their Outstanding Credits). For purposes of determining the Available Commitments of the Lenders at any time, the LC Outstandings and Swingline Outstandings shall be deemed to have utilized the Commitments of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentages at such time. Each Lender agrees that in computing such Lender’s portion of any Extension of Credit to be made hereunder, the Agent may, in its discretion, round each Lender’s percentage of such Extension of Credit to the next higher or lower whole dollar amount.

SECTION 2.13. Sharing of Setoffs.

(a) Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Revolving Credit Loans, Swingline Outstandings or LC Outstandings as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of its Revolving Credit Loans, Swingline Outstandings and LC Outstandings shall be reduced so as to be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of the Revolving Credit Loans, Swingline Outstandings and LC Outstandings of any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender

-35-

at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in the Revolving Credit Loans, Swingline Outstandings or LC Outstandings of such other Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, Swingline Outstandings and LC Outstandings and participations in the Revolving Credit Loans, Swingline Outstandings and LC Outstandings held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans, Swingline Outstandings and LC Outstandings then outstanding as the principal amount of its Revolving Credit Loans, Swingline Outstandings and LC Outstandings prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans, Swingline Outstandings and LC Outstandings outstanding prior to such exercise of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that, if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest. The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in a Revolving Credit Loans, Swingline Outstandings or any LC Outstandings deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made an Extension of Credit in the amount of such participation.

(b) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.17(d), 2.18(d) or subsection (f) of Article VII, then the Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Agent for the account of such Lender for the benefit of the Agent, the Swingline Lender or the applicable Fronting Bank to satisfy such Lender’s obligations to it under such provision of this Agreement until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such provision, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Agent in its discretion.

SECTION 2.14. Payments.

(a) The Borrower shall make each payment (including principal of or interest on any Outstanding Credit or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder from an account in the United States not later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the date when due in dollars to the Agent at its offices at 1111 Fannin Street, 10^th Floor, Houston, Texas 77002, in immediately available funds. Each such payment shall be made without off-set, deduction or counterclaim; provided that the foregoing shall not constitute a relinquishment or waiver of the Borrower’s rights to any independent claim that the Borrower may have against the Agent, any Fronting Bank or any Lender.

(b) Whenever any payment (including principal of or interest on any Outstanding Credit or any Fees or other amounts) hereunder shall become due, or otherwise would occur, on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest or Fees, if applicable.

-36-

(c) If the Borrower shall default (after giving effect to any applicable grace period under paragraph (c) of Article VI) in the payment of any amount becoming due hereunder (other than the principal amount of any Loan), whether by scheduled maturity, notice of prepayment, acceleration or otherwise, the Borrower shall on demand from time to time from the Agent pay interest, to the fullest extent permitted by law, on such defaulted amount up to (but not including) the date of actual payment (after as well as before judgment) at a rate per annum equal to rate of interest applicable to ABR Loans plus 2.00%.

SECTION 2.15. Taxes.

(a) Fronting Bank. For purposes of this Section 2.15, the term “Lender” includes any Fronting Bank and the Swingline Lender.

(b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Credit Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Credit Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify each Credit Party, within 30 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Credit Party or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Credit Party and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by such Credit Party (with a copy to the Agent, unless the Agent is such Credit Party), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of any other Credit Party, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify a Credit Party for any accrued Indemnified Taxes under this Section 2.15(d) unless such Credit Party notifies the Borrower of such indemnification claim no later than 180 days after the earlier of (i) the date on which the Credit Party receives from the

-37-

relevant Governmental Authority written notice of the imposition of such Indemnified Taxes, and (ii) the date on which such Credit Party has made payment of such Indemnified Taxes; provided that the foregoing shall not limit the Borrower’s obligation to indemnify such Credit Party for such Indemnified Taxes accrued after such earlier date if such Credit Party has given timely notice thereof to the Borrower under this Section 2.15(d); and provided further, that if the Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted giving rise to such claims are retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 8.04(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this subsection (e).

(f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.15, the Borrower shall deliver to the 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 Agent.

(g) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

-38-

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

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

(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2 or Exhibit E-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

-39-

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.15 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

-40-

(i) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Credit Document.

SECTION 2.16. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.10, delivers a notice pursuant to Section 2.11 or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.10 or 2.15 or eliminate the illegality under Section 2.11, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.10, delivers a notice pursuant to Section 2.11 or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with subsection (a) above, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 8.04), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.10 or Section 2.15) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Credit Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:

(i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 8.04(b)(iv);

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and funded participations in Letters of Credit, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (including any amounts under Section 8.05(b)) 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);

-41-

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.10, illegality pursuant to Section 2.11 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments or, in the case of Section 2.11, eliminate the illegality thereafter;

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law; and

(v) in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 2.17. Letters of Credit.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Letter of Credit shall be issued (or the stated maturity thereof extended or terms thereof modified or amended) on not less than three Business Days’ prior notice thereof by the delivery by the Borrower of (x) a Request for Issuance to the Agent (which shall promptly distribute copies thereof to the Lenders) and the Fronting Bank designated by the Borrower and (y) unless waived, a duly completed copy of such Fronting Bank’s standard application or other form for requesting the issuance, extension or other modification of letters of credit, which Request for Issuance and standard application or other form shall be made by the Borrower as the applicant of such Letter of Credit for the support of its or its Subsidiary’s obligations. Each Request for Issuance shall identify the relevant Fronting Bank and shall specify (i) the date (which shall be a Business Day) of issuance of such Letter of Credit (or the date of effectiveness of such extension, modification or amendment) and the stated expiry date thereof (which shall be not later than the earlier of (x) 12 months after its date of issuance (or such longer period of time as may be agreed by the applicable Fronting Bank or as provided in subsection (j) below) and (y) such Fronting Bank’s Fronting Bank Termination Date), (ii) the proposed stated amount (denominated in dollars) of such Letter of Credit (which shall not be less than $1,000,000, unless otherwise agreed to by the applicable Fronting Bank), (iii) the name and address of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit and (iv) a statement of drawing conditions applicable to such Letter of Credit, whether such Letter of Credit is a financial standby letter of credit or a performance standby letter of credit, and if such Request for Issuance relates to an amendment or modification of a Letter of Credit, it shall be accompanied by the consent of the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit thereto; provided, however, that if the terms of any Request for Issuance shall conflict with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. Each Request for Issuance shall be irrevocable unless modified or rescinded by the Borrower not less than two days prior to the proposed date of issuance (or effectiveness) specified therein. Not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the proposed date of issuance (or effectiveness) specified in such Request for Issuance, and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions precedent and the other requirements set forth herein, the applicable Fronting Bank shall issue (or extend, amend or modify) such Letter of Credit and provide notice and a copy thereof to the Agent, which shall promptly furnish copies thereof to the Lenders.

-42-

Each Lender shall, upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit, acquire a participation interest in such Letter of Credit, automatically and without any action on its part or the part of the applicable Fronting Bank, whereby such Lender shall become obligated to perform such obligations in respect of such Letter of Credit as are expressly set forth herein. No Fronting Bank shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such issuance would conflict with any applicable requirement of law.

(b) No Letter of Credit shall be requested or issued hereunder if, after the issuance thereof, the Outstanding Credits would exceed the Total Commitment or if the LC Outstandings would exceed $500,000,000.

(c) Each Fronting Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower by telephone, facsimile or other telecommunication of any Drawing under a Letter of Credit issued by such Fronting Bank. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Fronting Bank:

(i) on the date of receipt by the Borrower of notice of any Drawing pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, if such notice is received not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time), or on the first Business Day following receipt of such notice, if such notice is received later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time), an amount equal to the amount paid by such Fronting Bank in connection with such Drawing (such date being the “Required Reimbursement Date”); and

(ii) if any Drawing shall be reimbursed to any Fronting Bank after 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the applicable Payment Date, interest on any and all amounts required to be paid pursuant to clause (i) of this subsection (c) from and after such Payment Date until payment in full, shall be payable on demand, at the annual rate of interest applicable to ABR Loans as in effect from time to time, provided, however, that from and after the Required Reimbursement Date with respect to such Drawing until payment in full, such interest rate shall be increased by 2.00%.

(d) If any Fronting Bank shall not have been reimbursed in full by the Borrower for any payment made by such Fronting Bank under a Letter of Credit issued by such Fronting Bank for the account of the Borrower on the applicable Payment Date, such Fronting Bank shall give the Agent prompt notice thereof (an “LC Payment Notice”) no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately succeeding the applicable Payment Date. The Agent shall forward to each Lender a copy of such LC Payment Notice no later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the date on which such LC Payment Notice is received from such Fronting Bank. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Lender severally agrees to fund its participation in the reimbursement obligation of the Borrower to each Fronting Bank by paying to the Agent for the account of such Fronting Bank an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of such unreimbursed amount paid by such Fronting Bank, plus interest on such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from the date of the payment by such Fronting Bank to the date of payment to such Fronting Bank by such Lender. Each such payment by a Lender shall be made not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the later to occur of (i) the Business Day immediately following the date of such payment by such Fronting Bank and (ii) the Business Day on which the Lender shall have received

-43-

an LC Payment Notice from such Fronting Bank. Each Lender’s obligation to make each such payment to the Agent for the account of each Fronting Bank shall be several and shall not be affected by the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default or the failure of any other Lender to make any payment under this subsection (d). Each Lender further agrees that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) The failure of any Lender to make any payment to the Agent for the account of any Fronting Bank in accordance with subsection (d) above shall not relieve any other Lender of its own obligation to make any similar payment to the Agent, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any such payment. If any Lender (a “non-performing Lender”) shall fail to make any payment to the Agent for the account of any Fronting Bank in accordance with subsection (d) above within five Business Days after the LC Payment Notice relating thereto, then such non-performing Lender agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of the applicable Fronting Bank forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon for each day from the date such Lender would have funded its participation had it complied with the requirements of subsection (d) above until the date such amount is paid to the Agent at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

(f) The payment obligations of each Lender under subsections (d) and (e) above and of the Borrower under this Agreement in respect of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation, the following circumstances:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating hereto or to such Letter of Credit;

(ii) any amendment or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, the terms of this Agreement or such Letter of Credit;

(iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that any Lender or the Borrower for the account of which such Letter of Credit was issued may have at any time against any beneficiary, or any transferee, of such Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any Fronting Bank, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit, or any unrelated transaction;

(iv) any statement or any other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(v) payment in good faith by any Fronting Bank under the Letter of Credit issued by such Fronting Bank against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or

(vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

-44-

(g) The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit issued for the account of the Borrower. Neither any Fronting Bank, any Lender, nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or Affiliates shall be liable or responsible for (i) the use that may be made of such Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee thereof in connection therewith; (ii) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (iii) payment by any Fronting Bank against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to such Letter of Credit; or (iv) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under such Letter of Credit, except that the Borrower for the account of which such Letter of Credit was issued and each Lender shall have the right to bring suit against the applicable Fronting Bank, and such Fronting Bank shall be liable to the Borrower and any Lender, to the extent of any direct, as opposed to consequential, damages suffered by the Borrower or such Lender which the Borrower or such Lender proves were caused by such Fronting Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence, including, in the case of the Borrower, such Fronting Bank’s willful failure to make timely payment under such Letter of Credit following the presentation to it by the beneficiary thereof of a draft and accompanying certificate(s) which strictly comply with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Fronting Bank may accept sight drafts and accompanying certificates presented under any Letter of Credit issued by such Fronting Bank that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and payment against such documents shall not constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence by such Fronting Bank. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall be obligated to indemnify the Borrower for damages caused by any Fronting Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(h) If there shall be more than one Fronting Bank that has issued a Letter of Credit at any time hereunder, each such Fronting Bank shall, with respect to the Letters of Credit issued by it and the reimbursement obligations owing to it, be regarded hereunder as the “Fronting Bank” and shall have all of the rights, interests, protections and obligations of the “Fronting Bank” hereunder with respect to such Letters of Credit and reimbursement obligations and all matters relating thereto. Whenever any action may be, or is required to be, taken by the Fronting Bank hereunder, each Fronting Bank may, or shall, take such action only in respect of the Letters of Credit issued by it and the reimbursement obligations owing to it. Whenever the consent of the Fronting Bank is required hereunder with respect to any proposed action, the consent of each Fronting Bank of a Letter of Credit that is then outstanding, or in respect of which reimbursement obligations remain outstanding, shall be required for such proposed action to be taken. Any notice to be provided to the Fronting Bank shall be provided to each Fronting Bank of a Letter of Credit that is then outstanding, or in respect of which reimbursement obligations remain outstanding, and each such Fronting Bank shall have the right to request any information, and take any other action, as the Fronting Bank is permitted to do hereunder. The protections accorded the Fronting Bank hereunder shall inure to the benefit of each Fronting Bank, regardless of whether any Letter of Credit issued by any such Fronting Bank or any reimbursement obligations in respect thereof are outstanding at the time the benefits of such protections are asserted.

-45-

(i) No Fronting Bank shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such issuance would result in the aggregate of the Stated Amounts of all Letters of Credit issued by such Fronting Bank exceeding such Fronting Bank’s LC Fronting Bank Commitment.

(j) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Request for Issuance, any Fronting Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the Fronting Bank to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by a Fronting Bank, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such Fronting Bank for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Borrower and the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) such Fronting Bank to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Fronting Bank Termination Date of the applicable Fronting Bank; provided, however, that such Fronting Bank shall not permit any such extension if such Fronting Bank has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof.

SECTION 2.18. Swingline Loans.

(a) Swingline Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make Swingline Loans to Borrower from time to time prior to the Swingline Termination Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $200,000,000 or (ii) the sum of the aggregate Outstanding Credits exceeding the Total Commitments; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not 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, Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans.

(b) Swingline Loans. To request a Swingline Loan, Borrower shall deliver, by hand delivery or telecopier, a duly completed and executed Borrowing Request to the Agent and the Swingline Lender, not later than 1:00 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 the amount of the requested Swingline Loan. Each Swingline Loan shall be an ABR Loan and no Swingline Loan may be Converted into a Eurodollar Loan. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to Borrower to an account as directed by Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request maintained with the Agent by 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan. Borrower shall not request a Swingline Loan if at the time of or immediately after giving effect to the Extension of Credit contemplated by such request a Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom. Swingline Loans shall be made in minimum amounts of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 above such amount.

-46-

(c) Prepayment. Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to repay any Swingline Loan, in whole or in part, upon giving written notice to the Swingline Lender and the Agent before 12:00 (noon), New York City time, on the proposed date of repayment.

(d) Mandatory Borrowings and Participations. On any Business Day, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, give notice to the Lenders, with a copy to the Borrower and the Agent, that all then-outstanding Swingline Loans shall be funded with a Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans, in which case Revolving Credit Loans constituting ABR Loans (each such Borrowing, a “Mandatory Borrowing”) shall be made on the immediately succeeding Business Day by all Revolving Credit Lenders pro rata based on each such Lender’s Percentage, and the proceeds thereof shall be applied directly to repay such outstanding Swingline Loans. Each Revolving Credit Lender hereby irrevocably agrees to make such Revolving Credit Loans upon one Business Day’s notice in connection with each Mandatory Borrowing in the amount and in the manner specified in the preceding sentence and on the date specified to it in writing by the Swingline Lender notwithstanding (i) that the amount of the Mandatory Borrowing may not comply with the minimum amount for each Borrowing specified in Section 2.02, (ii) whether any conditions specified in Article IV-B are then satisfied, (iii) whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (iv) the date of such Mandatory Borrowing or (v) any reduction in the Total Commitment after any such Swingline Loans were made. In the event that, in the sole judgment of the Swingline Lender, any Mandatory Borrowing cannot for any reason be made on the date otherwise required above (including as a result of the commencement of an insolvency or other bankruptcy proceeding in respect of the Borrower), each Revolving Credit Lender hereby agrees that it shall forthwith purchase from the Swingline Lender (without recourse or warranty) such participation of the outstanding Swingline Loans as shall be necessary to cause each such Lender to share in such Swingline Loans ratably based upon their respective Percentages; provided that all principal and interest payable on such Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender, until the date the respective participation is purchased and, to the extent attributable to the purchased participation, shall be payable to the Lender purchasing same from and after such date of purchase. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this subsection by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.02(c) with respect to Revolving Credit Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.02 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Agent shall notify Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired by the Lenders pursuant to this subsection, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from Borrower (or other party on behalf of Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Agent. Any such amounts received by the Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this subsection, as their interests may appear. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this subsection shall not relieve Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.

-47-

SECTION 2.19. Increase in Commitments.

(a) Borrower Request. Borrower may by written notice to the Agent elect to request, prior to the latest Commitment Termination Date, an increase to the then existing Total Commitments by an amount not in excess of $500,000,000 in the aggregate and not less than $100,000,000 individually (each an “Incremental Commitment Increase”). Each such notice shall specify (i) the date (each, an “Increase Effective Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the Incremental Commitment Increase shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Agent and (ii) the identity of each assignee to whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such Incremental Commitment Increase be allocated and the amounts of such allocations. Incremental Commitment Increases may be provided by any existing Lender (it being understood that (i) any existing Lender approached to provide all or a portion of the Incremental Commitment Increase may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide such Incremental Commitment Increase and (ii) the Borrower shall have no obligation to offer any existing Lender the opportunity to provide any such Incremental Commitment Increase) or by any other bank or other financial institution (any such other bank or other financial institution being called an “Additional Lender”); provided that the Agent, each Fronting Bank and the Swingline Lender shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld, in the case of the Agent) to such Lender’s or such Additional Lender’s making such Incremental Commitment Increase if such consent would be required under Section 8.04(b)(iii)(B) or (C) for an assignment of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, to such Lender or Additional Lender.

(b) Conditions. The Incremental Commitment Increase shall become effective, as of such Increase Effective Date; provided that:

(i) all of the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in the Credit Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of materiality qualifications otherwise set forth in such representations and warranties), after giving effect to such Incremental Commitment Increase;

(ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from such Incremental Commitment Increase; and

(iii) the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered no later than the proposed Increase Effective Date (A) a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower to the effect that as of the Increase Effective Date the statements set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above are true, (B) certified copies of the resolutions of the Board of Directors (or any duly authorized committee thereof) of the Borrower authorizing the Incremental Commitment Increase and all documents evidencing other necessary corporate action and governmental approvals or filings with respect to such Incremental Commitment Increase, (C) an opinion of counsel to the Borrower as to such matters related to the foregoing as the Agent may reasonably request and (D) such other documents reasonably requested by the Agent in connection with any such transaction.

-48-

(c) Terms of New Loans and Commitments. The Incremental Commitment Increase shall be effected by a joinder agreement (the “Increase Joinder”) executed by the Borrower, the Agent, each Lender, if any, and each Additional Lender, if any, making such Incremental Commitment Increase, in form and substance satisfactory to each of them. The Increase Joinder may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.19.

(d) Adjustment of Loans. Each of the Lenders having a Commitment prior to such Increase Effective Date (the “Pre-Increase Revolving Lenders”) shall assign to any Lender or Additional Lender, as the case may be, which is providing a portion of the Incremental Commitment Increase on the Increase Effective Date (the “Post-Increase Revolving Lenders”), and such Post-Increase Revolving Lenders shall purchase from each Pre-Increase Revolving Lender, at the principal amount thereof, such interests in the Revolving Credit Loans and participation interests in LC Outstandings and Swingline Outstandings on such Increase Effective Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Credit Loans and participation interests in LC Outstandings and Swingline Outstandings will be held by Pre-Increase Revolving Lenders and Post-Increase Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance with their Commitments after giving effect to such Incremental Commitment Increase.

SECTION 2.20. Extension of Commitment Termination Date.

(a) The Borrower may, by notice to the Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders) not earlier than 45 days prior to any anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Anniversary Date”) but no later than 30 days prior to any such Anniversary Date, request that each Lender extend such Lender’s Commitment Termination Date for an additional one year after the Commitment Termination Date then in effect for such Lender hereunder (the “Existing Commitment Termination Date”). The Borrower may request no more than two extensions pursuant to this Section.

(b) Each Lender, acting in its sole and individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Agent given not earlier than 30 days prior to the applicable Anniversary Date and not later than the date (the “Lender Extension Notice Date”) that is 20 days prior to the applicable Anniversary Date, advise the Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to such extension (and each Lender that determines not to so extend its Existing Commitment Termination Date (a “Non-Extending Lender”) shall notify the Agent of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any event no later than the Lender Extension Notice Date)), and any Lender that does not so advise the Agent on or before the Lender Extension Notice Date shall be deemed to be a Non-Extending Lender. The election of any Lender to agree to such extension shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree.

(c) The Agent shall notify the Borrower of each Lender’s determination under this Section no later than the date that is 15 days prior to the applicable Anniversary Date, or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day (the “Specified Date”).

-49-

(d) The Borrower shall have the right on or before the fifth Business Day after the Specified Date (the “Extension Date”) to replace each Non-Extending Lender (i) with an existing Lender, and/or (ii) by adding as “Lenders” under this Agreement in place thereof, one or more Persons (each Lender in clauses (i) and (ii), an “Additional Commitment Lender”), each of which Additional Commitment Lenders shall be an Eligible Assignee and shall have entered into an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agent pursuant to which such Additional Commitment Lender shall, effective as of the Extension Date, undertake a Commitment (and, if any such Additional Commitment Lender is already a Lender, its Commitment shall be in addition to such Lender’s Commitment hereunder on such date); provided that the aggregate amount of the Commitments for all Additional Commitment Lenders shall be no more than the aggregate amount of the Commitments of all Non-Extending Lenders; provided, further, that the existing Lenders shall have the right to increase their Commitments up to the amount of the Non-Extending Lenders’ Commitments before the Borrower shall have the right to substitute any other Person for any Non-Extending Lender.

(e) If (and only if) the aggregate amount of the Commitments of the Lenders that have agreed to extend their Existing Commitment Termination Dates plus the aggregate additional Commitments of the Additional Commitment Lenders shall be more than 50% of the aggregate amount of the Commitments in effect immediately prior to the Specified Date, then, effective as of the Extension Date, the Existing Commitment Termination Date of each Lender agreeing to an extension and of each Additional Commitment Lender shall be extended to the date that is one year after the Existing Commitment Termination Date, and each Additional Commitment Lender shall thereupon become a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the extension of a Lender’s Existing Commitment Termination Date pursuant to this Section shall be effective with respect to such Lender on the Extension Date only if (i) the following statements shall be true: (A) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or would result from the extension of the Existing Commitment Termination Date and (B) all the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in the Credit Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of materiality qualifications otherwise set forth in such representations and warranties, before and after giving effect to such extension), and (ii) on or prior to the Extension Date the Agent shall have received the following, each dated the Extension Date and in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent: (1) a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Borrower to the effect that as of the Extension Date the statements set forth in clauses (A) and (B) above are true, (2) certified copies of the resolutions of the Board of Directors (or any duly authorized committee thereof) of the Borrower authorizing such extension, and of all documents evidencing other necessary corporate action and governmental approvals or filings with respect to such extension of the Existing Commitment Termination Date, (3) an opinion of counsel to the Borrower as to such matters related to the foregoing as the Agent may reasonably request and (4) such other documents reasonably requested by the Agent in connection with any such transaction.

(g) Subject to subsection (e) above, the Commitment of any Non-Extending Lender that has not been replaced pursuant to subsection (d) above shall automatically terminate on its Existing Commitment Termination Date (without regard to any extension by any other Lender), it being understood and agreed that such Non-Extending Lender’s participations in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit outstanding on such Existing Commitment Termination Date shall terminate thereon.

-50-

(h) Each of the Swingline Lender and each Fronting Bank may, in its sole discretion, elect to extend its Swingline Termination Date or Fronting Bank Termination Date, as applicable, in connection with any extension of the Commitment Termination Date; provided that, (i) the Borrower and the Agent may appoint a replacement for any such resigning Swingline Lender or Fronting Bank that does not so elect to extend its Swingline Termination Date or Fronting Bank Termination Date, as applicable, and (ii) the extension of any Commitment Termination Date may become effective without regard to whether such replacement is appointed.

SECTION 2.21. 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) Commitment Fees shall cease to accrue on such Defaulting Lender’s Available Commitment, unless such Lender is a Defaulting Lender only because it has a Lender Parent that has become the subject of a Bankruptcy Event;

(b) the Commitment and Outstanding Credits of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether (i) the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action under this Agreement or (ii) all Lenders affected thereby have taken or may take any action under this Agreement, except to the extent Section 8.08 expressly requires the consent of such Defaulting Lender to an amendment, waiver or other modification;

(c) if any Swingline Loan, Letter of Credit or unpaid reimbursement obligation of the Borrower in respect of any Letter of Credit is outstanding at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:

(i) all or any part of the obligation of such Defaulting Lender to participate in such Swingline Loan, Letter of Credit or reimbursement obligation shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentages but only to the extent that (x) the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Outstanding Credits does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Commitments and (y) the conditions set forth in Article IV-B are satisfied at such time (it being understood that such reallocation shall be deemed to be an Extension of Credit that would increase the Outstanding Credits and be subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in such Article);

(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 Agent (x) first, prepay its Swingline Loans, if any, and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of the applicable Fronting Banks only the Borrower’s obligations, if any, corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s obligation to participate in Letters of Credit (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and such Fronting Banks for so long as such LC Outstandings are outstanding;

-51-

(iii) if and to the extent that the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s obligation to participate in Letters of Credit pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any LC Fees with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Percentage of the Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit during the period such Defaulting Lender’s obligation is cash collateralized;

(iv) if the obligation of the non-Defaulting Lenders to participate in Letters of Credit is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the LC Fees payable to the Lenders shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Percentages;

(v) if all or any portion of the obligation of the non-Defaulting Lenders to participate in Letters of Credit is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of any Fronting Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all LC Fees payable with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Percentage of the Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit shall be payable to the applicable Fronting Banks until and to the extent that such obligation is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(vi) so long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Swingline Lender shall be required to fund any Swingline Loan, and no Fronting Bank shall be required to make any Extension of Credit in connection with a Letter of Credit, unless the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding obligations to participate in such Letter of Credit will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with this subsection (c), and participating interests in any newly made Swingline Loan or any new Extension of Credit relating to a Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with subsection (c)(i) above (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

(d) In the event that the Agent, the Borrower, the Swingline Lender and the Fronting Banks all agree that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the obligation of such Lender to participate in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit 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 Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Percentage.

(e) No reallocation or cash collateralization of a Defaulting Lender’s obligations pursuant to subsecton (c)(i) or (ii) above, and no remedy of the circumstances that caused a Lender to become a Defaulting Lender, shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim that the Borrower or any Credit Party may have against such Defaulting Lender.

-52-

(f) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of a Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VI or otherwise) or received by the Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.13 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Fronting Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to cash collateralize the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s obligation to participate in Letters of Credit in accordance with subsection (c)(ii) above; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize the Fronting Banks’ future fronting exposure to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with subsection (c)(ii) above; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Fronting Banks or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any Fronting Bank or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loan or reimbursement obligation under Section 2.17(c) in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Article IV-B were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans owed to all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans owed to such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to any reallocation of Commitments pursuant to subsection (c)(i) above. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.21(f) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

Such Cash Collateral Account shall at all times be free and clear of all rights or claims of third parties. The Cash Collateral Account shall be maintained with the Agent or at a depositary bank acting on behalf of the Agent in the name of, and under the sole dominion and control of, the Agent, and amounts deposited in the Cash Collateral Account shall bear interest at a rate equal to the rate generally offered by JPMorgan Chase or such depositary bank, as the case may be, for deposits equal to the amount deposited by the Borrower in the Cash Collateral Account, for a term to be determined by the Agent in its sole discretion. The Borrower hereby grants to the Agent for the benefit of the Fronting Banks and the

-69-

Lenders a Lien on, and hereby assigns to the Agent for the benefit of the Fronting Banks and the Lenders all of its right, title and interest in, the Cash Collateral Account and all funds from time to time on deposit therein to secure its reimbursement obligations in respect of Letters of Credit issued for its account. If any drawings then outstanding or thereafter made are not reimbursed in full immediately upon demand or, in the case of subsequent drawings, upon being made, then, in any such event, the Agent may apply the amounts then on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account, in such priority as the Agent shall elect, toward the payment in full of any or all of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder as and when such obligations shall become due and payable, regardless of whether the amounts to be so applied were deposited by the Borrower for the account of which the Letter(s) of Credit then being drawn were issued. Upon payment in full, after the termination of the Letters of Credit, of all such obligations, the Agent will repay and reassign to the Borrower any cash then on deposit in the Cash Collateral Account and the Lien of the Agent on the Cash Collateral Account and the funds therein shall automatically terminate.

ARTICLE VII

THE AGENT

(a) In order to expedite the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, JPMorgan Chase is hereby appointed to act as Agent on behalf of the Lenders and the Fronting Banks. Each Lender and each Fronting Bank hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent to take such actions on behalf of such Lender and such Fronting Bank and to exercise such powers as are specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms and provisions hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent is hereby expressly authorized by the Lenders and the Fronting Banks, without hereby limiting any implied authority, (i) to receive on behalf of the Lenders and the Fronting Banks all payments of principal of and interest on the Outstanding Credits and all other amounts due to the Lenders and the Fronting Banks hereunder, and promptly to distribute to each Lender and each Fronting Bank, its proper share of each payment so received; (ii) to give notice on behalf of each Lender and each Fronting Bank to the Borrower of any Event of Default of which the Agent has actual knowledge acquired in connection with its agency hereunder; and (iii) to distribute to each Lender and each Fronting Bank copies of all notices, financial statements and other materials delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement as received by the Agent.

(b) Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable as such for any action taken or omitted by any of them except for its or his or her own gross negligence or willful misconduct, or be responsible for any statement, warranty or representation herein or the contents of any document delivered in connection herewith, or be required to ascertain or to make any inquiry concerning the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement. The Agent shall not be responsible to the Lenders or the Fronting Banks for the due execution, genuineness, validity, enforceability or effectiveness of this Agreement or other instruments or agreements. The Agent may deem and treat the Lender or the Fronting Bank that makes any Extension of Credit as the holder of the indebtedness resulting therefrom for all purposes hereof until it shall have received notice from such Lender or such Fronting Bank, given as provided herein, of the transfer thereof. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or refraining from acting, in accordance with written instructions signed by the Required Lenders

-70-

and, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, such instructions and any action or inaction pursuant thereto shall be binding on all the Lenders and the Fronting Banks. The Agent shall, in the absence of knowledge to the contrary, be entitled to rely on any instrument or document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall have any responsibility to the Borrower or any Subsidiary on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any Lender or any Fronting Bank of any of its obligations hereunder or to any Lender or any Fronting Bank on account of the failure of or delay in performance or breach by any other Lender, any Fronting Bank or the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any of their respective obligations hereunder or in connection herewith. The Agent may execute any and all duties hereunder by or through agents or employees and shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel selected by it with respect to all matters arising hereunder and shall not be liable for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel.

(c) The Lenders and the Fronting Banks hereby acknowledge that the Agent shall not be under any duty to take any discretionary action permitted to be taken by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement unless it shall be requested in writing to do so by the Required Lenders.

(d) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, the Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Fronting Banks and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent acceptable to the Borrower. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Fronting Banks, appoint a successor Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor bank, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent and the Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After the Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 8.05 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Agent.

(e) With respect to the Extensions of Credit made by it hereunder, JPMorgan Chase, in its individual capacity and not as Agent, shall have the same rights, obligations and powers as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not Agent.

(f) Each Lender agrees (i) to reimburse the Agent, on demand, in the amount of its pro rata share (based on its Commitment hereunder or, if all of the Commitments shall have been terminated, the amount of its percentage of Outstanding Credits) of any expenses incurred for the benefit of the Lenders or the Fronting Banks, in its role as Agent, including counsel fees and compensation of agents and employees paid for services rendered on behalf of the Lenders or the Fronting Banks, which shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrower (but without limiting the

-71-

Borrower’s obligation to make such reimbursement) and (ii) to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent and any of its directors, officers, employees or agents, on demand, in the amount of such pro rata share, from and against any and all liabilities, taxes, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by it under this Agreement to the extent the same shall not have been reimbursed by the Borrower; provided that neither any Lender nor any Fronting Bank shall be liable to the Agent for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents. Each Lender and each Fronting Bank agrees that any allocation made in good faith by the Agent of expenses or other amounts referred to in this subsection (f) shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(g) Each Lender and each Fronting Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or Fronting Bank or any Person designated as a “Joint Lead Arranger”, a “Syndication Agent” or a “Documentation Agent” on the cover page of this Agreement, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each Fronting Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or Fronting Bank or any Person designated as a “Joint Lead Arranger”, a “Syndication Agent” or a “Documentation Agent” on the cover page of this Agreement, 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 or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

(h) None of the Persons designated as a “Joint Lead Arranger”, a “Syndication Agent” or a “Documentation Agent” on the cover page of this Agreement shall have any duties, liabilities, obligations or responsibilities under this Agreement other than, if applicable, in such Person’s role as a Credit Party.

(i) Each Secured Party party hereto hereby further authorizes the Collateral Agent on behalf of and for the benefit of such Secured Parties, to be the agent for and representative of such Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral and the Security Documents. Subject to Section 8.08, without further written consent or authorization from any such Secured Party, the Collateral Agent may execute any documents or instruments necessary to in connection with a sale or disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement, release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of such sale or other disposition of assets, or with respect to which the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 8.08) have otherwise consented (to the extent such consent is required).

(j) Anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Agents and each Secured Party hereby agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, in accordance with the terms hereof, and all powers, rights and remedies

-72-

under the Security Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, in accordance with the terms of the Security Documents, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition.

(k) To the extent required by any applicable law, the Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that the Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not property executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of withholding tax ineffective), such Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the Agent (to the extent that the Agent has not already been reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Agent as tax or otherwise, including any interest, additions to tax or penalties thereto, together with all expenses incurred, including legal expenses and any other out-of-pocket expenses, whether or not such tax were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Government Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time 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); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

-75-

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned.

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

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

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

and

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that the Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment.

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

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person.

(vii) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably con-

-76-

sent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent, each Fronting Bank, the Swingline Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in accordance with its Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this subsection, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.15 and 8.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

(c) Register. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in New York City, New York 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 amounts (and stated interest) 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 absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the Agent, the Fronting Banks, the Swingline Lender and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and

directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under subsection (f) of Article VII with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clauses (i) through (iv) of Section 8.08(b) that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10, 2.15 and 8.05(b) (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.15(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.15(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.16 as if it were an assignee under subsection (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.10 or 2.15, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.16 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 8.06 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Credit Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

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

-78-

(f) Resignation of Fronting Banks. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Fronting Bank as provided below, any Fronting Bank may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Fronting Bank acceptable to the Borrower. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Fronting Bank gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Fronting Bank may appoint a successor Fronting Bank, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Fronting Bank hereunder by a successor bank, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Fronting Bank and the retiring Fronting Bank shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After a Fronting Bank’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of Sections 2.10, 2.15 and 8.05 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Fronting Bank.

SECTION 8.05. Expenses; Indemnity.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel to the Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Fronting Banks, one local counsel and one regulatory counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and, in the event of an actual or potential conflict of interest, such additional counsel as the Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Swingline Lender or any Fronting Bank determines in good faith is necessary in light of such actual or potential conflict of interest) incurred by the Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Fronting Banks in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement or in connection with any amendment, modification and waiver of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated). The Borrower further agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of one counsel to the Credit Parties, one local counsel and one regulatory counsel in each applicable jurisdiction and, in the event of an actual or potential conflict of interest, such additional counsel as any Credit Party determines in good faith is necessary in light of such actual or potential conflict of interest) incurred by (i) any Credit Party in connection with the enforcement of rights under the Credit Documents and upon an Event of Default (including in respect of workouts and restructurings) and (ii) the Collateral Agent in connection with the preservation of, enforcement of rights with respect to and collection on the Collateral. In addition to the foregoing, the Borrower shall pay or reimburse the Fronting Bank that issued such Letter of Credit for such reasonable, normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Fronting Bank in issuing, negotiating, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering such Letter of Credit.

(b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender, the Swingline Lender and each Fronting Bank against any loss, calculated in accordance with the next sentence, or reasonable expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (i) any failure by the Borrower to borrow or to Convert any Loan hereunder (including as a result of the Borrower’s failure to fulfill any of the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV) after notice of such borrowing or Conversion has been given pursuant to Section 2.03, (ii) any payment, prepayment or

-79-

Conversion of a Eurodollar Loan, or assignment of a Eurodollar Loan of the Borrower required by any other provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 2.16) or otherwise made or deemed made, on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period, if any, applicable thereto, (iii) any default in payment or prepayment of the principal amount of any Outstanding Credit or any part thereof or interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable (at the due date thereof, whether by scheduled maturity, acceleration, irrevocable notice of prepayment (including any notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.09(a) and revoked pursuant to the last sentence of such Section) or otherwise) or (iv) the occurrence of any Event of Default, including, in each such case, any loss or reasonable expense sustained or incurred or to be sustained or incurred by such Lender in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, or with respect to commitments made or obligations undertaken with third parties, to effect or maintain any Loan hereunder or any part thereof as a Eurodollar Loan. Such loss shall include an amount equal to the excess, if any, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (x) its cost of obtaining the funds for the Loan being paid, prepaid, Converted or not borrowed (assumed to be the LIBO Rate for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment, refinancing or failure to borrow or refinance to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow or Convert, the Interest Period for such Loan that would have commenced on the date of such failure) over (y) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would be realized by such Lender in reemploying the funds so paid, prepaid or not borrowed or Converted for such period or Interest Period, as the case may be.

(c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Agent, the Fronting Banks, the Swingline Lender, each Lender, each of their Affiliates and the directors, officers, partners, employees and agents of the foregoing (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all costs, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel for all Indemnitees (unless in the good faith opinion of the Agent or such counsel, it would be inappropriate under applicable standards of legal professional conduct, due to an actual or potential conflict of interest, to have only one counsel), incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee in connection with (i) the preparation, execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, (ii) the use of the proceeds of the Extensions of Credit or (iii) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, including any of the foregoing arising from the negligence, whether sole or concurrent, on the part of any Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (A) are determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (B) result from any litigation not involving an act or omission of the Borrower brought by an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee (unless such litigation relates to claims against the Agent, acting in such capacity); provided, further, that the Borrower agrees that it will not, nor will it permit any Subsidiary to, without the prior written consent of each Indemnitee, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification could be sought under the indemnification provisions of this subsection (c) (whether or not any Indemnitee is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding), unless such settlement, compromise or consent does not include any statement as to an admission of fault, culpa-

-80-

bility or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnitee, does not involve any payment of money or other value by any Indemnitee or any injunctive relief or factual findings or stipulations binding on any Indemnitee and contains an unconditional release of each Indemnitee that could seek such indemnification under this subsection (c). It is understood that, with respect to any particular investigation, litigation or other proceeding subject to indemnification hereunder, the Borrower shall not be required to reimburse, or indemnify and hold harmless for, the reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses of more than one outside counsel (in addition to one local counsel and one regulatory counsel in each applicable jurisdiction) for all Indemnitees that are the subject of such investigation, litigation or other proceeding, unless representation of all such Indemnitees in such matter by a single counsel would be inappropriate due to the existence of an actual or potential conflict of interest, in which case the Borrower shall be required to reimburse, and indemnify and hold harmless for, the reasonable and documented legal fees and expenses of such additional counsel as any Indemnitee determines in good faith are necessary in light of such actual or potential conflict of interest.

(d) Without limiting the obligations of the Borrower under subsection (c) above, neither the Borrower nor any Indemnitee shall have any liability for any punitive, special, indirect or consequential damages resulting from this Agreement or any other Credit Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date). No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent that such damages have resulted from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of any Indemnitee or any of its Related Parties (as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).

(e) The provisions of this Section shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Outstanding Credits, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Agent, any Lender or any Fronting Bank. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable on written demand therefor.

(f) A certificate of any Lender, the Swingline Lender, any Fronting Bank or the Agent setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender, the Swingline Lender, such Fronting Bank or such Agent is entitled to receive pursuant to subsection (b) above and containing an explanation in reasonable detail of the manner in which such amount or amounts shall have been determined shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 8.06. Right of Setoff.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the Swingline Lender and each Fronting Bank is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by

-81-

such Lender, the Swingline Lender or such Fronting Bank to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, the Swingline Lender or such Fronting Bank (as the case may be), irrespective of whether or not such Lender, the Swingline Lender or such Fronting Bank (as the case may be), shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender, the Swingline Lender and each Fronting Bank under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender, the Swingline Lender or such Fronting Bank may have.

SECTION 8.07. Applicable Law.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

SECTION 8.08. Waivers; Amendment and Releases.

(a) No failure or delay of the Agent, the Swingline Lender, any Fronting Bank or any Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agent, the Swingline Lender, the Fronting Banks and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by subsection (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on the Borrower or any Subsidiary in any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders; provided, however, that no such agreement shall (i) decrease the principal amount of, or extend the maturity of or any scheduled principal payment date or date for the payment of any interest on, any Loan or reimbursement obligation in respect of a Letter of Credit or date for the payment of any Fee, or waive or excuse any such payment or any part thereof, or decrease the rate of interest on any Loan or any reimbursement obligation in respect of a Letter of Credit, without the prior written consent of each Lender affected thereby (other than waivers of the default rate of interest), (ii) increase the Commitment of any Lender or decrease any Fee payable to any Lender without the prior written consent of each Lender affected thereby (other than as set forth in Section 2.21(a) or Section 2.21(c) or the definition of Commitment Fee Percentage), (iii) amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.12, Section 2.13, Section 5.13, the provisions of this Section or the definition of the “Required Lenders”, or amend, modify or waive any condition set forth in Article IV-A, in each case, without the prior written consent of each Lender, (iv) amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.21 without the prior written consent of the Agent, the Swingline Lender, each Fronting Bank and the Required Lenders, (v) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Security Documents, in ei-

-82-

ther case without the prior written consent of each Lender or (v) change or waive any provision hereof relating to Swingline Loans (including the definition of “Swingline Commitment” or “Swingline Termination Date”), without the written consent of the Swingline Lender; provided further, however, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Agent, the Swingline Lender or any Fronting Bank hereunder (including, without limitation under Section 2.21) without the prior written consent of the Agent, the Swingline Lender or the applicable Fronting Bank, as the case may be. Each Lender, the Swingline Lender and each Fronting Bank shall be bound by any waiver, amendment or modification authorized by this Section, and any consent by any Lender, the Agent, the Swingline Lender or any Fronting Bank pursuant to this Section shall bind any assignee of its rights and interests hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any waiver, amendment or modification hereunder, except that the consent of such Defaulting Lender shall be required for any waiver, amendment or modification that effects any change described in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (v) of this subsection (b), in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) to the extent such Defaulting Lender is affected thereby.

(c) The Borrower or the Agent shall have the right to replace all, but not less than all, Non-Consenting Lenders (so long as all Non-Consenting Lenders are so replaced) with one or more Eligible Assignees so long as at the time of such replacement each such Eligible Assignee consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination. Each Lender agrees that, if Borrower or Agent elects to replace such Lender in accordance with this Section, it shall promptly execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption to evidence such sale and purchase; provided that the failure of any such Non-Consenting Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register.

(d) The Lenders hereby irrevocably agree that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent on any Collateral shall be automatically released (i) in full, upon the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all Obligations hereunder (except for Hedging Obligations in respect of any Secured Hedging Agreement and contingent indemnification obligations in respect of which a claim has not yet been made), (ii) upon the sale or other disposition of such Collateral (including as part of or in connection with any other sale or other disposition permitted hereunder) to any Person, to the extent such sale or other disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on a certificate to that effect provided to it by the Borrower upon its reasonable request without further inquiry), (iii) to the extent such Collateral is comprised of property leased to the Borrower, upon termination (in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or expiration of such lease, (iv) if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other percentage of the Lenders whose consent may be required in accordance with this Section 8.08) and (v) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Security Documents. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those being released) upon (or obligations (other than those being released) of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries in respect of) all interests retained by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral except to the extent otherwise released in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Documents. The

-83-

Lenders hereby authorize the Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to execute and deliver any instruments, documents, and agreements necessary or desirable to evidence and confirm the release of any Collateral pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this subsection, all without the further consent or joinder of any Lender. Any release of Collateral permitted by this Agreement or any of the Security Documents will be deemed not to impair the Liens created by the Security Documents in contravention thereof and any Person that is required to deliver an officer’s certificate or opinion of counsel pursuant to Section 314(d) of the Trust Indenture Act shall be entitled to rely upon the foregoing as a basis for delivery of such certificate or opinion.

SECTION 8.09. Resignation of Swingline Lender.

The Swingline Lender may resign as Swingline Lender upon 60 days’ prior written notice to the Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Swingline Lender shall resign, then the Borrower may appoint from among the Lenders a successor Swingline Lender, whereupon such successor Swingline Lender shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the replaced or resigning Swingline Lender under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and the term “Swingline Lender” shall mean such successor or such new Swingline Lender effective upon such appointment (it being understood that if no existing Lender elects to accept such appointment, then the Borrower may appoint another bank or financial institution of its choosing (which bank or financial institution shall be satisfactory to the Agent, in its reasonable discretion) as a successor Swingline Lender). The acceptance of any appointment as a Swingline Lender hereunder shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such successor, in a form satisfactory to the Borrower and the Agent. If the Swingline Lender resigns as Swingline Lender, it shall retain all rights of the Swingline Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swingline Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Revolving Credit Loans and fund risk participations in outstanding Swingline Loans.

SECTION 8.10. Entire Agreement.

SECTION 8.11. Severability.

In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of

-84-

the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 8.12. Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute but one contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section 8.03.

SECTION 8.13. Headings.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the applicable interest rate, together with all fees and charges which are treated as interest under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), as provided for herein or in any other document executed in connection herewith, or otherwise contracted for, charged, received, taken or reserved by any Lender or any Fronting Bank, shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by such Lender or such Fronting Bank (as the case may be) in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable on the Outstanding Credits of such Lender or such Fronting Bank (as the case may be), together with all Charges payable to such Lender or such Fronting Bank (as the case may be), shall be limited to the Maximum Rate.

(b) If the amount of interest, together with all Charges, payable for the account of any Lender or any Fronting Bank in respect of any interest computation period is reduced pursuant to subsection (a) above and the amount of interest, together with all Charges, payable for such Lender’s or such Fronting Bank’s (as the case may be) account in respect of any subsequent interest computation period, would be less than the Maximum Rate, then the amount of interest, together with all Charges, payable for such Lender’s or such Fronting Bank’s (as the case may be) account in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be automatically increased to such Maximum Rate; provided that at no time shall the aggregate amount by which interest paid for the account of any Lender or any Fronting Bank has been increased pursuant to this subsection (b) exceed the aggregate amount by which interest, together with all Charges, paid for its account has theretofore been reduced pursuant to subsection (a) above.

SECTION 8.15. Jurisdiction; Venue.

(a) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the

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.

SECTION 8.16. Confidentiality.

Each Credit Party shall hold all non-public information furnished by or on behalf of Holdings, the Borrower or any other Subsidiary of the Borrower in connection with such Credit Party’s evaluation of whether to become a Credit Party hereunder or obtained by such Credit Party pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement (“Confidential Information”), confidential in accordance with its customary procedure for handling confidential information of this nature and (in the case of a Lender that is a bank) in accordance with safe and sound banking practices and in any event may make disclosure as required or requested by any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory agency or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process or Applicable Law or (a) to such Credit Party’s attorneys, professional advisors, independent auditors, trustees or Affiliates, (b) to any other Credit Party, (c) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under any Credit Document or any action or proceeding relating to any Credit Document or the enforcement of rights thereunder, (d) with the consent of the Borrower, (e) to the extent that such Confidential Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this provision, or (y) becomes available to any Credit Party or any of its affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower and (f) to any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, subject to customary confidentiality obligations on the part of such assignee or participant; provided that unless specifically prohibited by Applicable Law or court order, each Credit Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the Borrower of any request made to such Credit Party by any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with a routine examination of the Lender by such governmental agency, regulator or agency) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information; and provided further that in no event shall any Credit Party be obligated or required to return any materials furnished by the Borrower or any other Subsidiary of the Borrower. Each Credit Party agrees that it will not provide to prospective

-86-

transferees or to any pledgee referred to in Section 8.04 or to prospective direct or indirect contractual counterparties to any swap agreements or derivative transactions to be entered into in connection with or relating to Loans made hereunder any of the Confidential Information unless such Person is advised of and agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 8.16 or confidentiality provisions at least as restrictive as those set forth in this Section 8.16.

SECTION 8.17. Electronic Communications.

(a) The Borrower hereby agrees that it will provide to the Agent all information, documents and other materials that it is obligated to furnish to the Agent pursuant to Section 5.03 (collectively, the “Communications”) by delivering the Communications in accordance with the last paragraph of Section 5.03 or by transmitting the Communications in Microsoft Word, Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) or other electronic/soft medium format that is reasonably acceptable to the Agent to Agent’s Loan and Agency Services Group at ***@*** or faxing the Communications to (713) ###-###-####, or to such other addressee as the Agent may notify the Borrower from time to time. In addition, the Borrower agrees to continue to provide the Communications to the Agent in the manner otherwise specified in this Agreement, but only to the extent reasonably requested by the Agent.

(b) The Agent agrees that the receipt of the Communications by the Agent at its e-mail address set forth above shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to the Agent for purposes of this Agreement. Each Lender and Fronting Bank agrees to notify the Agent in writing (including by electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s or Fronting Bank’s e-mail address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and that the foregoing notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

(c) Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Agent or any Lender or Fronting Bank to give any notice or other communication pursuant to this Agreement in any other manner specified in this Agreement.

(d) The Borrower further agrees that the Agent may make the Communications available to the Lenders by posting the Communications on Intralinks or a substantially similar electronic transmission system (the “Platform”), so long as the access to such Platform is limited (i) to the Agent, the Fronting Banks, the Lenders or any bonafide potential transferee or assignee thereof, including any Participant, and (ii) remains subject the confidentiality requirements set forth in Section 8.16.

EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT COMMUNICATIONS FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BORROWER, ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND ALL CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION IN COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 8.16 AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
