Unless otherwise indicated, all accounting terms, ratios and measurements shall be interpreted or determined in accordance with GAAP from time to time; provided that, if at any time any change in GAAP would impact the calculation of any financial covenant or other requirements set forth in any Loan Document, and either the Borrower or the Requisite Lenders shall so request, the Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such financial covenant or other requirements to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP (any such amendment subject to the approval of the Requisite Lenders pursuant to Section 13.6.); provided further that, until so amended, such financial covenant or other requirements shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein.

ARTICLE II. CREDIT FACILITIES

Section 2.1. Revolving Loans.

(a)    Generally. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, including without limitation, Section 2.18., during the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Termination Date, each Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make Revolving Loans in Dollars to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to, but not to exceed, the amount of such Lender’s Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Termination Date, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Loans hereunder.

- 34 -

(b)    Requesting Revolving Loans. The Borrower shall give the Agent notice pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing of each borrowing of Revolving Loans. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be delivered to the Agent (i) in the case of LIBOR Loans, before 10:00 a.m. Pacific time on the date three Business Days prior to the proposed date of such borrowing and (ii) in the case of Base Rate Loans, before 9:00 a.m. Pacific time on the proposed date of such borrowing. The Agent will transmit by telecopy, electronic mail or other form of transmission the Notice of Borrowing (or the information contained in such Notice of Borrowing) to each Lender promptly upon receipt by the Agent. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable once given and binding on the Borrower.

(c)    Disbursements of Revolving Loan Proceeds. No later than 11:00 a.m. Pacific time on the date specified in the Notice of Borrowing, each Lender will make available for the account of its applicable Lending Office to the Agent, in immediately available funds, the proceeds of the Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender. With respect to Revolving Loans to be made after the Effective Date, unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the specified date of borrowing that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Agent the Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender on such date, the Agent may assume that such Lender will make the proceeds of such Revolving Loan available to the Agent on the date of the requested borrowing as set forth in the Notice of Borrowing and the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower the amount of such Revolving Loan to be provided by such Lender. Subject to satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article VI. for such borrowing, the Agent will make the proceeds of such borrowing available to the Borrower in the account specified in the Disbursement Instruction Agreement, no later than 1:00 p.m. Pacific time on the date specified by the Borrower in such Notice of Borrowing.

(d)    Assumptions Regarding Funding by Lenders. With respect to Revolving Loans to be made after the Effective Date, unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Lender that such Lender will not make available to the Agent a Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender in connection with any borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender will make the proceeds of such Revolving Loan available to the Agent in accordance with this Section, and the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower the amount of such Revolving Loan to be provided by such Lender. In such event, if such Lender does not make available to the Agent the proceeds of such Revolving Loan, then such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Agent on demand the amount of such Revolving Loan with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Revolving Loan is made available to the Borrower but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay the amount of such interest to the Agent for the same or overlapping period, the Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays to the Agent the amount of such Revolving Loan, the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make available the proceeds of a Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender.

- 35 -

(e)    Commitment Reallocation. Simultaneously with the effectiveness of this Agreement, the “Commitments” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) of each of the “Lenders” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) as existing immediately prior to the Effective Date, shall be reallocated among the Lenders so that the Commitments are held by the Lenders as set forth on Schedule I attached hereto. To effect such reallocations each Lender who either had no “Commitment” under the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior to the Effective Date or whose Commitment upon the effectiveness of this Agreement exceeds its “Commitment” under the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement (each an “Assignee Lender”) shall be deemed to have purchased all right, title and interest in, and all obligations in respect of, the Commitments from the “Lenders” under the Existing Credit Agreement who will not have a Commitment on and as of the Effective Date or whose Commitments upon the effectiveness of this Agreement are less than their respective “Commitment” under the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement (each an “Assignor Lender”), so that the Commitments of the Lenders will be held by the Lenders as set forth on Schedule I. Such purchases shall be deemed to have been effected by way of, and subject to the terms and conditions of, an Assignment and Assumption without the payment of any related assignment fee, and, except for Revolving Notes to be provided to the Assignor Lenders and Assignee Revolving Lenders in the principal amount of their respective Commitments, no other documents or instruments shall be, or shall be required to be, executed in connection with such assignments (all of which are hereby waived). The Assignor Lenders, the Assignee Lenders and the other Lenders shall make such cash settlements among themselves, through the Agent, as the Agent may direct (after giving effect to the making of any Revolving Loans to be made on the Effective Date and any netting transactions effected by the Agent) with respect to such reallocations and assignments so that the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans shall be held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amount of the Commitments set forth on Schedule I.

Section 2.2. Bid Rate Loans.

(a)    Bid Rate Loans. At any time during the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Termination Date, and so long as the Borrower continues to maintain an Investment Grade Rating, the Borrower may, as set forth in this Section, request the Lenders to make offers to make Bid Rate Loans to the Borrower in Dollars. The Lenders may, but shall have no obligation to, make such offers and the Borrower may, but shall have no obligation to, accept any such offers in the manner set forth in this Section.

(b)    Requests for Bid Rate Loans. When the Borrower wishes to request from the Lenders offers to make Bid Rate Loans, it shall give the Agent notice (a “Bid Rate Quote Request”) so as to be received no later than 9:00 a.m. Pacific time on (x) the Business Day immediately preceding the date of borrowing proposed therein, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction and (y) the date four (4) Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of a LIBOR Auction. The Agent shall deliver to each Lender a copy of each Bid Rate Quote Request promptly upon receipt thereof by the Agent. The Borrower may request offers to make Bid Rate Loans for up to 3 different Interest Periods in any one Bid Rate Quote Request; provided that if granted each separate Interest Period shall be deemed to be a separate borrowing (a “Bid Rate Borrowing”). Each Bid Rate Quote Request shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit L and shall specify as to each Bid Rate Borrowing all of the following:

(i)    the proposed date of such Bid Rate Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

- 36 -

(ii)    the aggregate amount of such Bid Rate Borrowing which shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof which shall not cause any of the limits specified in Section 2.18. to be violated;

(iii)    whether the Bid Rate Quote Request is for LIBOR Margin Loans or Absolute Rate Loans; and

(iv)    the duration of the Interest Period applicable thereto, which shall not extend beyond the Termination Date.

The Borrower shall not deliver any Bid Rate Quote Request within five Business Days of the giving of any other Bid Rate Quote Request and the Borrower shall not deliver more than one Bid Rate Quote Request in any calendar month.

(c)    Bid Rate Quotes.

(i) Each Lender may submit one or more Bid Rate Quotes, each containing an offer to make a Bid Rate Loan in response to any Bid Rate Quote Request; provided that, if the Borrower’s request under Section 2.2.(b) specified more than one Interest Period, such Lender may make a single submission containing only one Bid Rate Quote for each such Interest Period. Each Bid Rate Quote must be submitted to the Agent not later than 8:30 a.m. Pacific time (x) on the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction and (y) on the date three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of a LIBOR Auction, and in either case the Agent shall disregard any Bid Rate Quote received after such time; provided that the Lender then acting as the Agent may submit a Bid Rate Quote only if it notifies the Borrower of the terms of the offer contained therein not later than 30 minutes prior to the latest time by which the Lenders must submit applicable Bid Rate Quotes. Any Bid Rate Quote so made shall be irrevocable except with the consent of the Agent given at the request of the Borrower. Such Bid Rate Loans may be funded by a Lender’s SPC (if any) as provided in Section 13.5.(k); however, such Lender shall not be required to specify in its Bid Rate Quote whether such Bid Rate Loan will be funded by such SPC.

(ii)    Each Bid Rate Quote shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit M and shall specify:

(A)    the proposed date of borrowing and the Interest Period therefor;

(B)    the principal amount of the Bid Rate Loan for which each such offer is being made; provided that the aggregate principal amount of all Bid Rate Loans for which a Lender submits Bid Rate Quotes (x) may be greater or less than the Commitment of such Lender but (y) shall not exceed the principal amount of the Bid Rate Borrowing for a particular Interest Period for which offers were requested; provided further that any Bid Rate Quote shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof;

- 37 -

(C)    in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction, the rate of interest per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/1,000th of 1%) offered for each such Absolute Rate Loan (the “Absolute Rate”);

(D)    in the case of a LIBOR Auction, the margin above or below applicable LIBOR (the “LIBOR Margin”) offered for each such LIBOR Margin Loan, expressed as a percentage (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest 1/1,000th of 1%) to be added to (or subtracted from) the applicable LIBOR; and

(E)    the identity of the quoting Lender.

Unless otherwise agreed by the Agent and the Borrower, no Bid Rate Quote shall contain qualifying, conditional or similar language or propose terms other than or in addition to those set forth in the applicable Bid Rate Quote Request and, in particular, no Bid Rate Quote may be conditioned upon acceptance by the Borrower of all (or some specified minimum) of the principal amount of the Bid Rate Loan for which such Bid Rate Quote is being made.

(d)    Notification by Agent. The Agent shall, as promptly as practicable after the Bid Rate Quotes are submitted (but in any event not later than 9:30 a.m. Pacific time (x) on the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction or (y) on the date three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of a LIBOR Auction), notify the Borrower of the terms (i) of any Bid Rate Quote submitted by a Lender that is in accordance with Section 2.2.(c) and (ii) of any Bid Rate Quote that amends, modifies or is otherwise inconsistent with a previous Bid Rate Quote submitted by such Lender with respect to the same Bid Rate Quote Request. Any such subsequent Bid Rate Quote shall be disregarded by the Agent unless such subsequent Bid Rate Quote is submitted solely to correct a manifest error in such former Bid Rate Quote. The Agent’s notice to the Borrower shall specify (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Bid Rate Borrowing for which offers have been received and (B) the principal amounts and Absolute Rates or LIBOR Margins, as applicable, so offered by each Lender (identifying the Lender that made such Bid Rate Quote).

(e)    Acceptance by Borrower.

(i)    Not later than 10:30 a.m. Pacific time (x) on the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction and (y) on the date three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing, in the case of a LIBOR Auction, the Borrower shall notify the Agent of its acceptance or nonacceptance of the Bid Rate Quotes so notified to it pursuant to Section 2.2.(d). which notice shall be in the form of Exhibit N. In the case of acceptance, such notice shall specify the aggregate principal amount of Bid Rate Quotes for each Interest Period that are accepted. The failure of the Borrower to give such notice by such time shall constitute nonacceptance. The Borrower may accept any Bid Rate Quote in whole or in part; provided that:

(A)    the aggregate principal amount of each Bid Rate Borrowing may not exceed the applicable amount set forth in the related Bid Rate Quote Request;

- 38 -

(B)    the aggregate principal amount of each Bid Rate Borrowing shall comply with the provisions of Section 2.2.(b)(ii) and together with all other Bid Rate Loans then outstanding shall not cause the limits specified in Section 2.18. to be violated;

(C)    acceptance of Bid Rate Quotes may be made only in ascending order of Absolute Rates or LIBOR Margins, as applicable, in each case beginning with the lowest rate so offered;

(D)    any acceptance in part by the Borrower shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and

(E)    the Borrower may not accept any Bid Rate Quote that fails to comply with Section 2.2.(c) or otherwise fails to comply with the requirements of this Agreement.

(ii)    If Bid Rate Quotes are made by two or more Lenders with the same Absolute Rates or LIBOR Margins, as applicable, for a greater aggregate principal amount than the amount in respect of which Bid Rate Quotes are permitted to be accepted for the related Interest Period, the principal amount of Bid Rate Loans in respect of which such Bid Rate Quotes are accepted shall be allocated by the Agent among such Lenders in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of such Bid Rate Quotes. Determinations by the Agent of the amounts of Bid Rate Loans shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(f)    Obligation to Make Bid Rate Loans. The Agent shall promptly (and in any event not later than (x) 11:30 a.m. Pacific time on the proposed date of borrowing of Absolute Rate Loans and (y) on the date three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing of LIBOR Margin Loans) notify each Lender as to whose Bid Rate Quote has been accepted and the amount and rate thereof. A Lender who is notified that it has been selected to make a Bid Rate Loan may designate its SPC (if any) to fund such Bid Rate Loan on its behalf, as described in Section 13.5.(k). Any SPC which funds a Bid Rate Loan shall on and after the time of such funding become the obligee in respect of such Bid Rate Loan and be entitled to receive payment thereof when due. No Lender shall be relieved of its obligation to fund a Bid Rate Loan, and no SPC shall assume such obligation, prior to the time the applicable Bid Rate Loan is funded. Any Lender whose offer to make any Bid Rate Loan has been accepted shall, not later than 12:30 p.m. Pacific time on the date specified for the making of such Loan, make the amount of such Loan available to the Agent at its Principal Office in immediately available funds, for the account of the Borrower. The amount so received by the Agent shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, be made available to the Borrower not later than 1:30 p.m. Pacific time on such date by depositing the same, in immediately available funds, in an account of the Borrower designated by the Borrower.

- 39 -

(g) No Effect on Commitment. Except for the purpose and to the extent expressly stated in Section 2.13. and 2.18., the amount of any Bid Rate Loan made by any Lender shall not constitute a utilization of such Lender’s Commitment.

Section 2.3. Letters of Credit.

(a)    Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation, Section 2.18., the Issuing Banks, on behalf of the Lenders, agree to issue for the account of the Borrower during the period from and including the Effective Date to, but excluding, the date 30 days prior to the Termination Date, one or more letters of credit (each a “Letter of Credit”) up to a maximum aggregate Stated Amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed $50,000,000 as such amount may be reduced from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof (the “L/C Commitment Amount”); provided, that an Issuing Bank shall not be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if, after giving effect to such issuance, the aggregate Stated Amount of outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank would exceed the lesser of (i) one-half of the L/C Commitment Amount and (ii) the Commitment of such Issuing Bank in its capacity as a Lender hereunder.

(b)    Terms of Letters of Credit. At the time of issuance, the amount, form, terms and conditions of each Letter of Credit, and of any drafts or acceptances thereunder, shall be subject to approval by the applicable Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may (i) the expiration date of any Letter of Credit extend beyond the Termination Date, (ii) any Letter of Credit have an initial duration in excess of one year, or (iii) any Letter of Credit contain an automatic renewal provision (other than renewal provisions which are automatic in the absence of a notice of non-renewal from the applicable Issuing Bank so long as any such renewal provision does not provide for a renewal period that extends beyond the Termination Date). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Letter of Credit may, as a result of its express terms or as the result of the effect of an automatic extension provision, have an expiration date of not more than one year beyond the Termination Date (any such Letter of Credit being referred to as an “Extended Letter of Credit”), so long as the Borrower delivers to the Agent for its benefit and the benefit of the Issuing Bank that issued such Letter of Credit and the Lenders no later than 30 days prior to the Termination Date, Cash Collateral for such Letter of Credit for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account in an amount equal to the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit; provided, that the obligations of the Borrower under this Section in respect of such Extended Letters of Credit shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in effect until no such Extended Letters of Credit remain outstanding. If the Borrower fails to provide Cash Collateral with respect to any Extended Letter of Credit by the date 30 days prior to the Termination Date, such failure shall be treated as a drawing under such Extended Letter of Credit (in an amount equal to the maximum Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit), which shall be reimbursed (or participations therein funded) by the Lenders in accordance with the immediately following subsections (i) and (j), with the proceeds being utilized to provide Cash Collateral for such Letter of Credit.

- 40 -

(c)    Requests for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrower shall give the applicable Issuing Bank and the Agent written notice at least 5 Business Days prior to the requested date of issuance of a Letter of Credit, such notice to describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Letter of Credit and the nature of the transactions or obligations proposed to be supported by such Letter of Credit, and in any event shall set forth with respect to such Letter of Credit (i) the requested initial Stated Amount, (ii) the proposed beneficiary, (iii) whether such Letter of Credit is to be a standby or commercial letter of credit, and (iv) the requested expiration date. The Borrower shall also execute and deliver such customary applications and agreements for standby letters of credit, and other forms as requested from time to time by the applicable Issuing Bank. Provided the Borrower has given the notice prescribed by the first sentence of this subsection and delivered such application and agreements referred to in the preceding sentence, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the satisfaction of any applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article VI., the applicable Issuing Bank shall issue the requested Letter of Credit on the requested date of issuance for the benefit of the stipulated beneficiary but in no event prior to the date 5 Business Days following the date after which the applicable Issuing Bank has received all of the items required to be delivered to it under this subsection. No Issuing Bank shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such issuance would conflict with, or cause such Issuing Bank or any Lender to, exceed any limits imposed by any Applicable Law. References to “issue” and derivations thereof with respect to Letters of Credit shall also include extensions or modifications of any outstanding Letters of Credit, unless the context otherwise requires and except for reductions of the Stated Amount of any outstanding Letters of Credit. Upon the written request of the Borrower, the applicable Issuing Bank shall deliver to the Borrower a copy of (i) any Letter of Credit proposed to be issued by such Issuing Bank hereunder prior to the issuance thereof and (ii) each issued Letter of Credit by such Issuing Bank within a reasonable time after the date of issuance thereof. To the extent any term of a Letter of Credit Document is inconsistent with a term of any Loan Document, the term of such Loan Document shall control.

(d)    Reimbursement Obligations. Upon receipt by an Issuing Bank from the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank of any demand for payment under such Letter of Credit and such Issuing Bank’s determination that such demand for payment complies with the requirements of such Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent of the amount to be paid by such Issuing Bank as a result of such demand and the date on which payment is to be made by such Issuing Bank to such beneficiary in respect of such demand. The Borrower hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to pay and reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for the amount of each demand for payment under such Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank at or prior to the date on which payment is to be made by such Issuing Bank to the beneficiary thereunder, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind. Upon receipt by an Issuing Bank of any payment in respect of any Reimbursement Obligation in respect of a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing bank, such Issuing Bank shall promptly pay to each Lender that has acquired a participation therein under the second sentence of Section 2.3.(i) such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such payment.

(e)    Manner of Reimbursement. Upon its receipt of a notice referred to in the immediately preceding subsection (d), the Borrower shall advise the Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank whether or not the Borrower intends to borrow hereunder to finance its obligation to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for the amount of the related demand for payment and, if it does, the Borrower shall submit a timely request for such borrowing as provided in the applicable

- 41 -

provisions of this Agreement. If the Borrower fails to so advise the Agent and such Issuing Bank, or if the Borrower fails to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank by the date of such payment (the failure of which the applicable Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Agent), then (i) if the applicable conditions contained in Article VI. would permit the making of Revolving Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a borrowing of Revolving Loans (which shall be Base Rate Loans) in an amount equal to the unpaid Reimbursement Obligation and the Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of the amount of the Revolving Loan to be made available to the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. and (ii) if such conditions would not permit the making of Revolving Loans, the provisions of subsection (j) of this Section shall apply. The amount limitations set forth in the second sentence of Section 3.5.(a) shall not apply to any borrowing of Base Rate Loans under this subsection.

(f)    Effect of Letters of Credit on Commitments. Upon the issuance by an Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit and until such Letter of Credit shall have expired or been terminated, the Commitment of each Lender shall be deemed to be utilized for all purposes of this Agreement in an amount equal to the product of (i) such Lender’s Commitment Percentage and (ii) the sum of (A) the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit plus, without duplication, (B) any related Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding.

(g)    Issuing Banks’ Duties Regarding Letters of Credit; Unconditional Nature of Reimbursement Obligations. In examining documents presented in connection with drawings under Letters of Credit and making payments under such Letters of Credit against such documents, each Issuing Bank shall only be required to use the same standard of care as it uses in connection with examining documents presented in connection with drawings under letters of credit in which it has not sold participations and making payments under such letters of credit. The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, none of the Issuing Banks, the Agent or any of the Lenders shall be responsible (unless resulting from bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment) for, and Borrower’s obligations in respect of Letters of Credit shall not be affected in any manner by, (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effects of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of or any drawing honored under any Letter of Credit even if such document should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit, or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telex, telecopy, electronic mail or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds of any drawing under any Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Banks, the Agent or the Lenders. None of

- 42 -

the above shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the Issuing Banks’ or the Agent’s rights or powers hereunder. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, if taken or omitted in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not create against such Issuing Bank any liability to the Borrower, the Agent, any other Issuing Bank or any Lender. In this connection, the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for any drawing made under any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, and to repay any Revolving Loan made pursuant to the second sentence of the immediately preceding subsection (e), shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any other applicable Letter of Credit Document under all circumstances whatsoever, including without limitation, the following circumstances: (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit Document or any term or provisions therein; (B) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the Letter of Credit Documents; (C) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against any Issuing Bank, the Agent, any Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or in the Letter of Credit Documents or any unrelated transaction; (D) any breach of contract or dispute between the Borrower, any Issuing Bank the Agent, any Lender or any other Person; (E) any demand, statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein or made in connection therewith being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (F) any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; (G) payment by an Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit issued by it against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and (H) any other act, omission to act, delay or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable defense to or discharge of the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section or Section 13.9., but not in limitation of the Borrower’s unconditional obligation to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any drawing made under a Letter of Credit as provided in this Section and to repay any Revolving Loan made pursuant to the second sentence of subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify the Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in respect of any liability incurred by the Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender arising solely out of the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender in respect of a Letter of Credit as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, nothing in this Section shall affect any rights the Borrower may have with respect to the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit.

(h)    Amendments, Etc. The issuance by an Issuing Bank of any amendment, supplement or other modification to any Letter of Credit issued by it shall be subject to the same conditions applicable under this Agreement to the issuance of new Letters of Credit (including, without limitation, that the request therefor be made through the applicable Issuing Bank and the Agent), and no such amendment, supplement or other modification shall be issued unless either (i) the respective Letter of Credit affected thereby would have complied with such conditions had it originally been issued hereunder in such amended, supplemented or modified form or (ii) the Requisite Lenders shall have consented thereto. In connection with any such amendment, supplement or other modification, the Borrower shall pay the fees, if any, payable under the last sentence of Section 3.6.(b).

- 43 -

(i)    Lenders’ Participation in Letters of Credit. Immediately upon the issuance by the applicable Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit (or in the case of Existing Letters of Credit, upon the Agreement Date) each Lender shall be deemed to have absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from such Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the liability of such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit and each Lender thereby shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as surety, and shall be unconditionally obligated to such Issuing Bank to pay and discharge when due, such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such Issuing Bank’s liability under such Letter of Credit. In addition, upon the making of each payment by a Lender to the Agent in respect of any Letter of Credit for the account of an Issuing Bank pursuant to the immediately following subsection (j), such Lender shall, automatically and without any further action on the part of any Issuing Bank, the Agent or such Lender, acquire (i) a participation in an amount equal to such payment in the Reimbursement Obligation owing to such Issuing Bank by the Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit and (ii) a participation in a percentage equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage in any interest or other amounts payable by the Borrower in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation (other than the Fees payable to such Issuing Bank pursuant to the second and last sentences of Section 3.6.(b)).

(j)    Payment Obligation of Lenders. Each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, on demand in immediately available funds the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of each drawing paid by such Issuing Bank under each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.3.(d). Each Lender’s obligation to make such payments to the Agent under this subsection, and the Agent’s right to receive the same for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and shall not be affected in any way by any circumstance whatsoever, including without limitation, (i) the failure of any other Lender to make its payment under this subsection, (ii) the financial condition of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, (iii) the existence of any Default or Event of Default, including any Event of Default described in Section 11.1.(e) or 11.1.(f) or (iv) the termination of the Commitments. Each such payment to the Agent for the account of any Issuing Bank shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or deduction whatsoever.

(k)    Information to Lenders. Promptly following any change in any Letter of Credit outstanding, the applicable Issuing Bank shall deliver to the Agent, who shall promptly deliver the same to each Lender and the Borrower a notice describing the aggregate amount of all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank and outstanding at such time. Upon the request of any Lender from time to time, each Issuing Bank shall deliver any other information reasonably requested by such Lender with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank and then outstanding. Other than as set forth in this subsection, the Issuing Banks shall have no duty to notify the Lenders regarding the issuance or other matters regarding Letters of Credit issued hereunder. The failure of any Issuing Bank to perform its requirements under this subsection shall not relieve any Lender from its obligations under Section 2.3.(j).

- 44 -

(l)    Existing Letters of Credit. The Borrower, the Issuing Banks, the Agent and the Lenders agree that each of the letters of credit described on Schedule 2.3.(l) (the “Existing Letters of Credit”) shall, from and after the Effective Date, be deemed to be a Letter of Credit issued under this Agreement and shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(l)    Extended Letters of Credit. Each Lender confirms that its obligations under the immediately preceding subsections (i) and (j) shall be reinstated in full and apply if the delivery of any Cash Collateral in respect of an Extended Letter of Credit is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise.

Section 2.4. Swingline Loans.

(a)    Swingline Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, including without limitation, Section 2.18., if necessary to meet the various funding deadlines of the Borrower, each Swingline Lender agrees severally and not jointly to make Swingline Loans in Dollars to the Borrower, during the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Swingline Termination Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to, but not exceeding, the lesser (such amounts being referred to as the “Swingline Availability” of a given Swingline Lender) of (i) $37,500,000 and (ii) the Commitment of such Swingline Lender minus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Loans made by such Swingline Lender. If at any time the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans made by a Swingline Lender outstanding at such time exceeds the Swingline Availability of such Swingline Lender in effect at such time, the Borrower shall immediately pay the Agent for the account of such Swingline Lender the amount of such excess. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans hereunder.

(b)    Procedure for Borrowing Swingline Loans. The Borrower shall give the Agent and the Swingline Lender selected by the Borrower to make a Swingline Loan notice pursuant to a Notice of Swingline Borrowing delivered to the applicable Swingline Lender no later than 11:00 a.m. on the proposed date of such borrowing. Any such telephonic notice shall include all information to be specified in a written Notice of Swingline Borrowing. On the date of the requested Swingline Loan and subject to satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 6.2. for such borrowing, the applicable Swingline Lender will make the proceeds of such Swingline Loan available to the Agent no later than 1:00 pm on such date at its Principal Office in Dollars, in immediately available funds, for the account of the Borrower. Not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of the requested Swingline Loan and subject to satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article VI. for such borrowing, the Agent will make the proceeds of such Swingline Loan available to the Borrower in Dollars, in immediately available funds, by depositing them in the account specified by the Borrower in the Disbursement Authorization Agreement.

- 45 -

(c)    Interest. Swingline Loans shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Market Index Rate as in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are LIBOR Loans or at such other rate or rates as the Borrower and the applicable Swingline Lender may agree from time to time in writing. Interest on a Swingline Loan is solely for the account of the Swingline Lender that made such Swingline Loan (except to the extent a Lender acquires a participating interest in such Swingline Loan pursuant to the immediately following subsection (e)). All accrued and unpaid interest on Swingline Loans shall be payable on the dates and in the manner provided in Section 2.5. with respect to interest on Base Rate Loans (except as the applicable Swingline Lender and the Borrower may otherwise agree in writing in connection with any particular Swingline Loan made by such Swingline Lender).

(d)    Swingline Loan Amounts, Etc. Each Swingline Loan shall be in the minimum amount of $500,000, or such other minimum amounts agreed to by the Swingline Lenders and the Borrower. Any voluntary prepayment of a Swingline Loan must be in the minimum amount of $100,000 or, if less, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans (or such other minimum amounts upon which the Swingline Lenders and the Borrower may agree) and in connection with any such prepayment, the Borrower must give the Swingline Lenders prior written notice thereof no later than 10:00 a.m. on the date of such prepayment. The Swingline Loans shall, in addition to this Agreement, be evidenced by the Swingline Notes.

(e)    Repayment and Participations of Swingline Loans. The Borrower agrees to repay each Swingline Loan borrowed by it within one Business Day of demand therefor by the Swingline Lenders and in any event, within 5 Business Days after the date such Swingline Loan was made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the Swingline Loans borrowed by it on the Swingline Termination Date (or such earlier date as the Swingline Lenders and the Borrower may agree in writing). In lieu of demanding repayment of any outstanding Swingline Loan from the Borrower, the Swingline Lenders may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swingline Lenders to act on its behalf), request a borrowing of Revolving Loans (which shall be Base Rate Loans) from the Lenders in an amount equal to the principal balance of such Swingline Loan. The amount limitations contained in Section 3.5.(a) shall not apply to any borrowing of Base Rate Loans made pursuant to this subsection. The Swingline Lenders shall give notice to the Agent of any such borrowing of Base Rate Loans not later than 9:00 a.m. on the proposed date of such borrowing. Each Lender will make available to the Agent at the Principal Office for the account of such Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, the proceeds of the Base Rate Loan to be made by such Lender. The Agent shall pay the proceeds of such Base Rate Loans to the Swingline Lenders, which shall apply such proceeds to repay such Swingline Loan. If the Lenders are prohibited from making Loans required to be made under this subsection for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation, the occurrence of any of the Defaults or Events of Default described in Sections 11.1.(e) or 11.1.(f), each Lender shall purchase from the Swingline Lenders, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such Swingline Loan, by directly purchasing a participation in such Swingline Loan in such amount and paying the proceeds thereof to the Agent for the account of the Swingline Lenders in Dollars and in immediately available funds. A Lender’s obligation to purchase such a participation in a Swingline Loan shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including without limitation, (i) any

- 46 -

claim of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or any other Person may have or claim against the Agent, the Swingline Lenders or any other Person whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuation of a Default or Event of Default (including without limitation, any of the Defaults or Events of Default described in Sections 11.1.(e) or 11.1.(f)) or the termination of the Commitments of any Lender, (iii) the existence (or alleged existence) of an event of condition which has had or could have a Material Adverse Effect, (iv) any breach of any Loan Document by the Agent, any Lender, the Borrower or any other Loan Party or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. If such amount is not in fact made available to the Swingline Lender by any Lender, the Swingline Lenders shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon for each day from the date of demand thereof, at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Swingline Lenders’ demand therefor, and until such time as such Lender makes the required payment, the Swingline Lenders shall be deemed to continue to have outstanding Swingline Loans in the amount of such unpaid participation obligation for all purposes of the Loan Documents (other than those provisions requiring the other Lenders to purchase a participation therein). Further, such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Loans, and any other amounts due to it hereunder, to the Swingline Lender to fund Swingline Loans in the amount of the participation in Swingline Loans that such Lender failed to purchase pursuant to this Section until such amount has been purchased (as a result of such assignment or otherwise).

Section 2.5. Rates and Payment of Interest on Loans.

(a)    Rates. The Borrower promises to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made by such Lender for the period from and including the date of the making of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at the following per annum rates:

(i)    during such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate (as in effect from time to time), plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans;

(ii)    during such periods as such Loan is a LIBOR Loan, at LIBOR for such Loan for the Interest Period therefor, plus the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans;

(iii)    if such Loan is an Absolute Rate Loan, at the Absolute Rate for such Loan for the Interest Period therefor quoted by the Lender making such Loan in accordance with Section 2.2.; and

(iv)    if such Loan is a LIBOR Margin Loan, at LIBOR for such Loan for the Interest Period therefor plus the LIBOR Margin quoted by the Lender making such Loan in accordance with Section 2.2.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the continuance of an Event of Default (i) under Section 11.1(a), (e) or (f) or (ii) upon the vote of the Requisite Lenders under any other provision of Section 11.1, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender and each Issuing Bank interest at the Post-Default Rate on the outstanding principal amount of any Loan made by such Lender, on all Reimbursement Obligations and on any other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes held by such Lender to or for the account of such Lender (including without limitation, accrued but unpaid interest to the extent permitted under Applicable Law).

- 47 -

(b)    Payment of Interest. All accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal amount of each Loan shall be payable (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans, monthly in arrears on the first day of each month, (ii) in the case of a LIBOR Loan or a Bid Rate Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period therefor and, if such Interest Period is longer than three months, at three-month intervals following the first day of such Interest Period, and (iii) for all Loans, (A) on the Termination Date and (B) on any date on which the principal balance of such Loan is due and payable in full (whether at maturity, due to acceleration or otherwise). Interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand. All determinations by the Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on the Lenders and the Borrower for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c)    Borrower Information Used to Determine Applicable Interest Rates. The parties understand that the applicable interest rate for the Obligations and certain fees set forth herein may be determined and/or adjusted from time to time based upon certain financial ratios and/or other information to be provided or certified to the Lenders by the Borrower (the “Borrower Information”). If it is subsequently determined that any such Borrower Information was incorrect (for whatever reason, including without limitation because of a subsequent restatement of earnings by the Borrower) at the time it was delivered to the Agent, and if the applicable interest rate or fees calculated for any period were lower than they should have been had the correct information been timely provided, then, such interest rate and such fees for such period shall be automatically recalculated using correct Borrower Information. The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing of any additional interest and fees due because of such recalculation, and the Borrower shall pay such additional interest or fees due to the Agent, for the account of each Lender, within 5 Business Days of receipt of such written notice. Any recalculation of interest or fees required by this provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and this provision shall not in any way limit any of the Agent’s or any Lender’s other rights under this Agreement.

Section 2.6. Number of Interest Periods.

There may be no more than 8 different Interest Periods with respect to LIBOR Loans outstanding at the same time and no more than 5 different Interest Periods with respect to Bid Rate Loans outstanding at the same time.

Section 2.7. Repayment of Loans.

(a)    Revolving Loans. The Borrower shall repay the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Revolving Loans in full on the Termination Date.

(b)    Bid Rate Loans. The Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued interest on, each Bid Rate Loan on the last day of the Interest Period of such Bid Rate Loan.

- 48 -

Section 2.8. Prepayments.

(a)    Optional. Subject to Section 5.4., the Borrower may prepay any Revolving Loan at any time without premium or penalty. The Borrower shall give the Agent at least one Business Days prior written notice of the prepayment of any Revolving Loan. A Bid Rate Loan may only be prepaid with the prior written consent of the Lender holding such Bid Rate Loan.

(b)    Mandatory.

(i)    Commitment Overadvance. If at any time the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans, together with the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, exceeds the aggregate amount of the Commitments, the Borrower shall, within three calendar days after notice of the occurrence of such excess, pay to the Agent for the account of the Issuing Banks and/or the Lenders, as applicable, the amount of such excess. All payments under this subsection (i) shall be applied to pay all amounts of excess principal outstanding on the applicable Revolving Loans and any applicable Reimbursement Obligations in accordance with Section 3.2.; provided, however, that if no Default or Event of Default exists at the time such prepayment is made, and such prepayment would result in the Borrower being required to compensate the Lenders pursuant to Section 5.4., then such prepayment shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans and then to LIBOR Loans, and if any Letters of Credit are outstanding at such time, the remainder, if any, shall be deposited into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account for application to any Reimbursement Obligations as and when due.

(ii)    Bid Rate Facility Overadvance. If at any time the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Bid Rate Loans exceeds one-half of the aggregate amount of all Commitments at such time, then the Borrower shall, within three calendar days after notice of the occurrence of such excess, pay to the Agent for the accounts of the applicable Lenders the amount of such excess. All payments under this subsection (ii) shall be applied in accordance with Section 3.2.(f).

Section 2.9. [Intentionally Omitted].

Section 2.10. Continuation.

So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, the Borrower may on any Business Day, with respect to any LIBOR Loan, elect to maintain such LIBOR Loan or any portion thereof as a LIBOR Loan by selecting a new Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan. Each new Interest Period selected under this Section shall commence on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period. Each selection of a new Interest Period shall be made by the Borrower giving to the Agent a Notice of Continuation not later than 10:00 a.m. Pacific time on the third Business Day prior to the date of any such Continuation of LIBOR Loans. Such notice by the Borrower of a Continuation shall be by telecopy, electronic mail or other form of communication in the form of a Notice of Continuation, specifying (a) the proposed date of such Continuation, (b) the LIBOR Loan and portion thereof subject to such Continuation and (c) the duration of the selected Interest Period, all of which shall be specified in such manner as is necessary to comply with all limitations on Loans outstanding hereunder. Each Notice of Continuation shall be irrevocable by and binding on the

- 49 -

Borrower once given. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Continuation, the Agent shall notify each Lender by telecopy, electronic mail or other similar form of transmission of the proposed Continuation. If the Borrower shall fail to select in a timely manner a new Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan in accordance with this Section, such Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, continue as a LIBOR Loan with an Interest Period of one month; provided, however that if a Default or Event of Default exists, such Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Loan notwithstanding the first sentence of Section 2.11. or the Borrower’s failure to comply with any of the terms of such Section.

Section 2.11. Conversion.

So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, the Borrower may on any Business Day, upon the Borrower’s giving of a Notice of Conversion to the Agent, Convert all or a portion of a Revolving Loan of one Type into a Revolving Loan of another Type. Any Conversion of a LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan shall be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan and, upon Conversion of a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan, the Borrower shall pay accrued interest to the date of Conversion on the principal amount so Converted. Each such Notice of Conversion shall be given not later than 10:00 a.m. Pacific time (i) one Business Day prior to the date of any proposed Conversion into Base Rate Loans, and (ii) three Business Days prior to the date of any proposed Conversion into LIBOR Loans. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion, the Agent shall notify each Lender by telecopy, electronic mail or other similar form of transmission of the proposed Conversion. Subject to the restrictions specified above, each Notice of Conversion shall be by telecopy in the form of a Notice of Conversion specifying (a) the requested date of such Conversion, (b) the Type of Revolving Loan to be Converted, (c) the portion of such Type of Loan to be Converted, (d) the Type of Revolving Loan such Loan is to be Converted into, and (e) if such Conversion is into a LIBOR Loan, the requested duration of the Interest Period of such Loan. Each Notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable by and binding on the Borrower once given.

Section 2.12. Notes.

(a)    Notes. Except in the case of a Lender that has notified the Agent in writing that it elects not to receive a Revolving Note, the Revolving Loans made by each Lender shall, in addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit I (each a “Revolving Note”), payable to the order of such Lender and duly completed. The Bid Rate Loans made by a Lender to the Borrower shall, in addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced by a Bid Rate Note payable to the order of such Lender.

(b)    Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Mutilated Notes. Upon receipt by the Borrower of (i) written notice from a Lender that a Note of such Lender has been lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated, and (ii)(A) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, an unsecured agreement of indemnity from such Lender in form reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, or (B) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note, the Borrower shall at its own expense execute and deliver to such Lender a new Note dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.

- 50 -

Section 2.13. Voluntary Reductions of the Commitment.

The Borrower shall have the right to terminate or reduce the aggregate unused amount of the Commitments (for which purpose use of the Commitments shall be deemed to include the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans and Bid Rate Loans and the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities) at any time and from time to time without penalty or premium upon not less than 5 Business Days prior written notice to the Agent of each such termination or reduction, which notice shall specify the effective date thereof and the amount of any such reduction and shall be irrevocable (other than in connection with a proposed refinancing and termination of the Commitments in their entirety that does not close) once given and effective only upon receipt by the Agent; provided, however, that if the Borrower seeks to reduce the aggregate amount of the Commitments below $75,000,000, then, unless the Agent and all Lenders have otherwise previously agreed in writing, the Commitments shall be reduced to zero and, except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement shall terminate. The Agent will promptly transmit such notice to each Lender. The Commitments, once terminated or reduced may not be increased or reinstated. Any reduction in the aggregate amount of the Commitments shall result in a proportionate reduction (rounded to the next lowest integral multiple of $100,000) in each of the L/C Commitment Amount and the Swingline Commitment.

Section 2.14. [Intentionally Omitted].

Section 2.15. [Intentionally Omitted].

Section 2.16. Expiration or Maturity Date of Letters of Credit Past Termination of Facility.

If on the date the Commitments are terminated in full (whether voluntarily, by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default or otherwise), there are any Letters of Credit outstanding hereunder and the aggregate Stated Amount of such Letters of Credit exceeds the balance of available funds on deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, the Borrower shall, on such date, pay to the Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Banks, the Agent, and the Lenders, an amount of money equal to the Stated Amount of such Letter(s) of Credit and in the applicable designated currencies of such Letters of Credit for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account. If a drawing pursuant to any such Letter of Credit occurs on or prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower authorizes the Agent to use the monies deposited in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account to make payment to the beneficiary with respect to such drawing or the payee with respect to such presentment. If no drawing occurs on or prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the Agent shall pay to the Borrower (or to whomever else may be legally entitled thereto) the monies deposited in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account with respect to such outstanding Letter of Credit on or before the date 30 days after the expiration date of such Letter of Credit.

- 51 -

Section 2.17. Increase in Commitments; Additional Term Loans.

The Borrower shall have the right (i) during the period beginning on the Effective Date to but excluding the Termination Date for Revolving Loans to request increases in the aggregate amount of the Commitments or (ii) during the period beginning on the Effective Date to but excluding the latest Termination Date of any Loans then in effect hereunder (or, in the case of any request related to a Class of Term Loans, the Termination Date for such Class of Term Loans), to request the making of additional Term Loans of such Class or the making of additional term loans under a new tranche of term loans (collectively, the “Additional Term Loans”), in each case by providing written notice to the Agent, which notice shall be irrevocable once given; provided, however, that after giving effect to any such increases of the Commitments and the making of the Additional Term Loans, the aggregate amount of the Commitments and the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Additional Term Loans shall not exceed $800,000,000. No Lender shall be obligated in any way whatsoever to increase its Commitment, to provide a new Commitment or to make an Additional Term Loan, and any new Lender becoming a party to this Agreement in connection with any such requested increase of the Commitments or making Additional Term Loans must be an Eligible Assignee. If a new Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, or if any existing Lender agrees to increase its Commitment, such Lender shall on the date it becomes a Lender hereunder (or in the case of an existing Lender, increases its Commitment) (and as a condition thereto) purchase from the other Lenders its Commitment Percentage (determined with respect to the Lenders’ relative Commitments and after giving effect to the increase of Commitments) of any outstanding Revolving Loans, by making available to the Agent for the account of such other Lenders, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to the sum of (A) the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loans to be purchased by such Lender plus (B) interest accrued and unpaid to and as of such date on such portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Loans. The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders amounts payable, if any, to such Lenders under Section 5.4. as a result of the prepayment of any such Loans. An increase of the aggregate amount of the Commitments or making of Additional Term Loans may not be effected under this Section if either (x) a Default or Event of Default shall be in existence on the effective date of such increase of the Commitments or making of such Additional Term Loans or (y) any representation or warranty made or deemed made by the Borrower or any other Loan Party in any Loan Document to which such Loan Party is a party is not (or would not be) true or correct in any material respect (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all respects) on the effective date of such increase of the Commitments or making of Additional Term Loans except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and accurate in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances specifically and expressly permitted hereunder. In connection with an increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments or making of Additional Term Loans pursuant to this Section (a) any Lender becoming a party hereto shall execute such documents and agreements as the Agent may reasonably request, and (b) the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that (1) in the case of an increase in the Commitments, each new Lender, and any existing Lender increasing its Commitment, receives a new or replacement Revolving Note, as appropriate, in the amount of such Lender’s Commitment at the time of the effectiveness of the increase in the aggregate amount of Commitments or (2) in the case of making of Additional Term Loans, new Term Notes of the applicable Class of Term Loans executed by the Borrower, payable to any new Term Loan Lenders making such Additional Term Loans of such Class, and replacement Term Notes of the applicable Class executed by the Borrower payable to such existing Term Loan

- 52 -

Lenders making such Additional Term Loans of such Class, in each case, in the aggregate principal amount of such Lender’s outstanding Term Loan of the applicable Class at the time of the making of such Additional Term Loans. This Section 2.17. shall supersede any provisions in Section 3.2. or Section 13.6. to the contrary.

Section 2.18. Amount Limitations.

Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, no Lender shall be required to make any Loan, no Lender shall make any Bid Rate Loan, and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue any Letter of Credit if, immediately after the making of such Loan or issuance of such Letter of Credit (a) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans, together with the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, would exceed the aggregate amount of the Commitments, or (b) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Bid Rate Loans would exceed one-half of the aggregate amount of the Commitments at such time.

Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest and other amounts to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds. The Borrower shall make each payment of any amount due under this Agreement not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day).

Section 3.3. Sharing of Payments, Etc.

If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan made by it to the Borrower under this Agreement, or shall obtain payment on any other Obligation owing by the Borrower or a Loan Party through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise or through voluntary prepayments directly to a Lender or other payments made by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Lender not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such payment should be distributed to the Lenders pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2. or Section 11.5., as applicable, such Lender shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loans made by the other Lenders or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders in such amounts, pay such amounts to the other Lenders and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, so that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such payment (net of any reasonable expenses which may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such benefit) pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2. or Section 11.5. To such end, all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation (or direct interest) in the Loans or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders may exercise all rights of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans in the amount of such participation.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

(a)    Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Requisite Lenders.

(b)    Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, Fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article XI. or otherwise) 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 (other than in respect of Letters of Credit) hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to each Issuing Bank (in respect of Letters of Credit) or each Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposures with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with subsection (e) below; 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 Issuing Banks’ future Fronting Exposures with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with subsection (e) below; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks, the Agent or the Swingline Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any Issuing Bank, the Agent or any 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 Loans or amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender under Section 2.3.(j) in respect of Letters of Credit (such amounts “L/C Disbursements”), 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 VI. were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Disbursements owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (determined without giving effect to

- 57 -

the immediately following subsection (d)). 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 subsection shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(c)    Certain Fees.

(i)    No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Fee payable under Section 3.6.(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender, and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee to a Defaulting Lender that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender.

(ii)    Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive the Fee payable under Section 3.6.(b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Commitment Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to the immediately following subsection (e).

(iii)    With respect to any Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to the immediately preceding clauses (i) or (ii), the Borrower shall (x) pay to each non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such Fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to the immediately following subsection (d), (y) pay to each Issuing Bank and each Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such Fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank’s or such Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such Fee.

(d)    Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (determined without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such non-Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(e)    Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans.

(i)    If the reallocation described in the immediately preceding subsection (d) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans in an amount equal to each Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposures in accordance with the procedures set forth in this subsection.

- 58 -

(ii)    At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within 1 Business Day following the written request of the Agent or any Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize such Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to the immediately preceding subsection (d) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the aggregate Fronting Exposure of such Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank and outstanding at such time.

(iii)    The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grant to the Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Banks, and agree to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Liabilities, to be applied pursuant to the immediately following clause (iv). If at any time the Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Agent and the Issuing Banks as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the aggregate Fronting Exposure of the Issuing Banks with respect to Letters of Credit issued and outstanding at such time, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Agent, pay or provide to the Agent, for the account of the Issuing Banks, additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(iv)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Liabilities (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(v)    Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposures shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this subsection following (x) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (y) the determination by the Agent and the Issuing Banks that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to the immediately preceding subsection (b), the Person providing Cash Collateral and Issuing Banks may (but shall not be obligated to) agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and provided further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrower, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

(f)    Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lenders agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject

- 59 -

to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (determined without giving effect to the immediately preceding subsection (d)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to Fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(g)    New Swingline Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Swingline Lenders shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan and (ii) no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

(h)    Purchase of Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. During any period that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower may, by the Borrower giving written notice thereof to the Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, demand that such Defaulting Lender assign its Commitment and Loans to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.5.(b). No party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. In addition, any Lender who is not a Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be obligated, in its sole discretion, to acquire the face amount of all or a portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment and Loans via an assignment subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.5.(d). In connection with any such assignment, such Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to effect such assignment, including an appropriate Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and, notwithstanding Section 13.5.(b), shall pay to the Agent an assignment fee in the amount of $4,500. The exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Agent or any of the Lenders.

Section 3.11. Taxes.

(a)    Issuing Bank. For purposes of this Section, the term “Lender” includes each Issuing Bank and the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.

(b)    Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party under any Loan 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

- 60 -

the Borrower or other applicable Loan Party 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 Recipient 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 and the other Loan Parties 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.

The Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 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 Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient 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 a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(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 or another Loan Party has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.5. 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 Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. 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 Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this subsection. The provisions of this subsection shall continue to inure to the benefit of an Agent following its resignation or removal as Agent.

(f)    Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, the Borrower or such other Loan Party 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.

- 61 -

(i)    Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan 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 the immediately following clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the applicable 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.

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 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), 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 (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, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection 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 Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax 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.

(i)    Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 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 Loan Document.

(j)    FATCA Determination. For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Effective Date, the Borrower and the Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Agent to treat) this Agreement as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).

ARTICLE V. YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.

Section 5.1. Additional Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a)    Additional Costs. The Borrower shall promptly pay to the Agent for the account of a Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may reasonably determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender that it determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Margin Loans or its obligation to make any LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Margin Loans hereunder, any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by such Lender of capital in respect of its Loans or its Commitments (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any Regulatory Change that: (i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such Loans or its Commitments (other than Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and Other Connection Taxes); or (ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements (excluding Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other similar reserve requirement applicable to any other category of liabilities or category of extensions of credit or other assets by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Margin Loans is determined to the extent utilized when determining LIBOR for such Loan) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Lender, or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitments of such Lender hereunder); or (iii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy).

(b)    Lender’s Suspension of LIBOR Loans and LIBOR Margin Loans. Without limiting the effect of the provisions of the immediately preceding subsection (a), if by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Margin Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that includes LIBOR Loans or LIBOR Margin Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue, or to Convert any other Type of Loans into, LIBOR Loans and/or the obligation of a Lender that has outstanding a Bid Rate Quote hereunder shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 5.5. shall apply).

(c)    Additional Costs in Respect of Letters of Credit. Without limiting the obligations of the Borrower under the preceding subsections of this Section (but without duplication), if as a result of any Regulatory Change or any risk-based capital guideline or other requirement heretofore or hereafter issued by any Governmental Authority there shall be imposed, modified or deemed applicable any Tax (other than Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and Other Connection Taxes), reserve, special deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against or with respect to or measured by reference to Letters of Credit and the result shall be to increase the cost to an Issuing Bank of issuing (or any Lender purchasing participations in) or maintaining its obligation hereunder to issue (or purchase participations in) any Letter of Credit or reduce any amount receivable by an Issuing Bank or any

- 65 -

Lender hereunder in respect of any Letter of Credit, then, upon demand by such Issuing Bank or such Lender, the Borrower shall pay promptly, and in any event within three Business Days of demand, to such Issuing Bank, or in the case of a Lender, to the Agent for the account of such Lender, as applicable, from time to time as specified by such Issuing Bank or a Lender, such additional amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate such Issuing Bank or such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amount.

(d)    Notification and Determination of Additional Costs. Each of the Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the Agreement Date entitling the Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section as promptly as practicable; provided, however, the failure of the Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to give such notice shall not release the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder; provided, further, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Agent pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the event entitling the Agent or Lender to compensation giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or Agent’s intention to claim compensation thereof (except that, if such event giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). The Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender agrees to furnish to the Borrower a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request by such Issuing Bank or such Lender for compensation under this Section. Determinations by the Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive absent manifest error, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith; provided, however, that a Lender shall not be entitled to submit a claim for compensation based upon a Regulatory Change pursuant to any subsection of this Section 5.1. unless the making of such claim is consistent with such Lender’s general practices under similar circumstances in respect of similarly situated borrowers (but not necessarily all borrowers) with credit agreements entitling it to make such claims (it being agreed that a Lender shall not be required to disclose any confidential or proprietary information in connection with such determination or the making of such claim). The Borrower may seek a replacement for a Lender that invokes compensation pursuant to any subsection of this Section 5.1. The Borrower shall pay the Agent, any such Issuing Bank or any such Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt.

Section 5.2. Suspension of LIBOR Loans.

(a)    Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding and unless and until a Replacement Rate is implemented in accordance with Section 5.2.(b) below, if, on or prior to the determination of LIBOR for any Interest Period:

(i)    the Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period; or

- 66 -

(ii)    the Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that LIBOR are not likely to adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period; or

(iii)    the Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for LIBOR Loans; or

(iv)    any Lender that has outstanding a Bid Rate Quote with respect to a LIBOR Margin Loan reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that LIBOR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining such LIBOR Margin Loan;

then the Agent shall give the Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, (x) in the case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the Lenders shall be under no obligation to, and shall not, make additional LIBOR Loans, Continue LIBOR Loans or Convert Loans into LIBOR Loans and the Borrower shall, on the last day of each current Interest Period for each outstanding LIBOR Loan, either repay such Loan or Convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan, and (y) in the case of clause (iv) above, no Lender that has outstanding a Bid Rate Quote with respect to a LIBOR Margin Loan shall be under any obligation to make such Loan.

(b)    Alternative Rate of Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.2.(a) above, if the Agent has made the determination (such determination to be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances described in Section 5.2.(a)(i) or (a)(iii) have arisen and that such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, (ii) any applicable interest rate specified herein is no longer a widely recognized benchmark rate for newly originated loans in the U.S. syndicated loan market in the applicable currency or (iii) the applicable supervisor or administrator (if any) of any applicable interest rate specified herein or any Governmental Authority having, or purporting to have, jurisdiction over the Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which any applicable interest rate specified herein shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans in the U.S. syndicated loan market in the applicable currency, then the Agent may, to the extent practicable (in consultation with the Borrower and as determined by the Agent to be generally in accordance with similar situations in other transactions in which it is serving as administrative agent or otherwise consistent with market practice generally), establish a replacement interest rate (the “Replacement Rate”), in which case, the Replacement Rate shall, subject to the next two sentences, replace such applicable interest rate for all purposes under the Loan Documents unless and until (A) an event described in Section 5.2.(a)(i), (a)(iii), (b)(i), (b)(ii) or (b)(iii) occurs with respect to the Replacement Rate or (B) the Agent (or the Requisite Lenders through the Agent) notifies the Borrower that the Replacement Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding the Loans bearing interest at the Replacement Rate, and in which case, the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 5.2(a) shall apply to any Loans accruing interest at the Replacement Rate in the same manner as would apply to LIBOR Loans affected by the same circumstances. In connection with the establishment and application of the Replacement Rate, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be amended solely with the consent of the Agent and the Borrower, as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of

- 67 -

the Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 5.2.(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Section 12.6.), such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any party other than the Agent and the Borrower so long as the Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the delivery of such amendment to the Lenders, written notices from such Lenders that in the aggregate constitute Requisite Lenders, with each such notice stating that such Lender objects to such amendment (which such notice shall note with specificity the particular provisions of the amendment to which such Lender objects). To the extent the Replacement Rate is approved by the Agent in connection with this clause (b), the Replacement Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that, in each case, to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Agent, such Replacement Rate shall be applied as otherwise reasonably determined by the Agent (it being understood that any such modification by the Agent shall not require the consent of, or consultation with, any of the Lenders).

Section 5.3. Illegality.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if it becomes unlawful for any Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Loans hereunder and/or if any Lender that has an outstanding Bid Rate Quote shall determine that it is unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Margin Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof (with a copy to the Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended and/or such Lender’s obligation to make LIBOR Margin Loans shall be suspended, as applicable, until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 5.5. shall be applicable).

Section 5.4. Compensation.

The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of a Lender, upon the request of such Lender through the Agent, such amount or amounts as Agent shall reasonably determine in its sole discretion to be sufficient to compensate such Lender for any yield-maintenance loss, cost or expense that the Agent determines is attributable to: (a) any payment or prepayment (whether mandatory or optional) of a LIBOR Loan or a Bid Rate Loan, or Conversion of a LIBOR Loan, made by such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, acceleration) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or (b) any failure by the Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any of the applicable conditions precedent specified in Article VI. to be satisfied) to borrow a LIBOR Loan or a Bid Rate Loan from such Lender on the date for such borrowing, or to Convert a Revolving Loan into a LIBOR Loan or Continue a LIBOR Loan on the requested date of such Conversion or Continuation. Upon the Borrower’s request, the Agent shall provide the Borrower with a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof. Any such statement shall be conclusive absent manifest error, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.

- 68 -

Section 5.5. Treatment of Affected Loans.

If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.1.(b), 5.2. or 5.3., then such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for LIBOR Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion required by Section 5.1.(b) or 5.3., on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to the Borrower with a copy to the Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 5.1., 5.2. or 5.3. that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:

(i)    to the extent that such Lender’s LIBOR Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and

(ii)    all Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as LIBOR Loans shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into LIBOR Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.

If such Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 5.1. or 5.3. that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBOR Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, then such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding LIBOR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.

Section 5.6. Affected Lenders.

If (a) a Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 3.11. or 5.1., and the Requisite Lenders are not also doing the same, (b) the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.1.(b) or 5.3. but the obligation of the Requisite Lenders shall not have been suspended under such Sections or (c) a Lender does not vote in favor of any amendment, modification or waiver to this Agreement which, pursuant to Section 13.6. requires the vote of all of the Lenders, and the Requisite Lenders shall have voted in favor of such amendment, modification or waiver, then, so long as there does not then exist any Default or Event of Default, the Borrower may either (i) demand that such Lender (the “Affected Lender”), and upon such demand the Affected Lender shall promptly, assign its Commitments to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.5.(d) for a purchase price equal to the aggregate principal balance of Loans then owing to the Affected Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to the Affected Lender, or (ii) notwithstanding anything contained in Section 3.2. to the contrary, pay to the Affected Lender the aggregate principal balance of Loans then owing to the Affected Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees

- 69 -

owing to the Affected Lender or any other amount as may be mutually agreed upon by such Affected Lender and Eligible Assignee, whereupon the Affected Lender shall no longer be a party hereto or have any rights or obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents. Each of the Agent and the Affected Lender shall reasonably cooperate in effectuating the replacement of such Affected Lender under this Section, but at no time shall the Agent, such Affected Lender nor any other Lender be obligated in any way whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. The exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expenses and at no cost or expense to the Agent, the Affected Lender or any of the other Lenders; provided, however, the Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse or otherwise pay an Affected Lender’s administrative or legal costs incurred as a result of the Borrower’s exercise of its rights under this Section. The terms of this Section shall not in any way limit the Borrower’s obligation to pay to any Affected Lender compensation owing to such Affected Lender pursuant to Section 3.11. or 5.1.

Section 5.7. Change of Lending Office.

Each Lender agrees that it will use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate an alternate Lending Office with respect to any of its Loans affected by the matters or circumstances described in Sections 3.11., 5.1. or 5.3. to reduce the liability of the Borrower or avoid the results provided thereunder, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, except that such Lender shall have no obligation to designate a Lending Office located in the United States of America.

Section 5.8. Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Loans.

Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Article V. shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded LIBOR Loans through the purchase of deposits in the relevant market bearing interest at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Loans in an amount equal to the amount of the LIBOR Loans and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be used only for calculation of amounts payable under this Article V.

In order to induce the Agent and each Lender to enter into this Agreement and to make Loans and, in the case of the Issuing Banks, to issue Letters of Credit, and, in the case of the Lenders, to acquire participations in Letters of Credit, the Borrower represents and warrants to the Agent, the Issuing Banks and each Lender as follows:

The balances from time to time in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall not constitute payment of any Letter of Credit Liabilities until applied by the Agent as provided herein. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall be subject to withdrawal only as provided in this Section and in Section 2.16.

(b)    Amounts on deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall be invested and reinvested by the Agent in such Cash Equivalents as the Agent shall determine in its sole discretion. All such investments and reinvestments shall be held in the name of and be under the sole dominion and control of the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, provided, that all earnings on such investments will be credited to and retained in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account. The Agent shall exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and shall be deemed to have exercised such care if such funds are accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Agent accords other funds deposited with the Agent, it being understood that the Agent shall not have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account.

(c)    If an Event of Default exists, the Agent may (and, if instructed by the Requisite Lenders, shall) in its (or their) discretion at any time and from time to time elect to liquidate any such investments and reinvestments and credit the proceeds thereof to the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and apply or cause to be applied such proceeds and any other balances in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for the payment made by such Issuing bank or otherwise to the payment of any of the Letter of Credit Liabilities due and payable.

(d)    So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, the Agent shall, from time to time, at the request of the Borrower, promptly deliver to the Borrower, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, such of the balances in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account as exceed the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities at such time. When all of the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and no Letters of Credit remain outstanding, the Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, the balances remaining in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account. Upon the expiration, termination or cancellation of an Extended Letter of Credit for which the Lenders reimbursed (or funded participations in) a drawing deemed to have occurred under the fourth sentence of Section 2.3.(b) for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account but in respect of which the Lenders have not otherwise received payment for the amount

- 95 -

so reimbursed or funded, the Agent shall promptly remit to the Lenders the amount so reimbursed or funded for such Extended Letter of Credit that remains in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid reimbursements or funded participations of the Lenders in respect of such Extended Letter of Credit, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever. When all of the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and no Letters of Credit remain outstanding, the Agent shall promptly deliver to the Borrower, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, the balances remaining in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account.

(e)    The Borrower shall pay to the Agent from time to time such fees as the Agent normally charges for similar services in connection with the Agent’s administration of the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and investments and reinvestments of funds therein.

Section 11.7. Performance by Agent.

If the Borrower shall fail to perform any covenant, duty or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents, the Agent may perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of the Borrower after the expiration of any cure or grace periods set forth herein. In such event, the Borrower shall, at the request of the Agent, promptly pay any amount reasonably expended by the Agent in such performance or attempted performance to the Agent, together with interest thereon at the applicable Post-Default Rate from the date of such expenditure until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability or responsibility whatsoever for the performance of any obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Section 11.8. Rights Cumulative.

(a)    Generally. The rights and remedies of the Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any of them may otherwise have under Applicable Law. In exercising their respective rights and remedies the Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders may be selective and no failure or delay by the Agent, any Issuing Bank or any of the Lenders in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of it, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude its other or further exercise or the exercise of any other power or right.

(b)    Enforcement by Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Agent in accordance with Article XI. for the benefit of all the Lenders and the Issuing Banks; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) the Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (ii) any Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to their benefit (solely in their capacity as an Issuing Bank or as a Swingline Lender, as the case may be) hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, (iii) [reserved], (iv) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 13.3. (subject to the terms of Section 3.3.), or (v) any Lender from filing proofs of claim

- 96 -

or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (x) the Requisite Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Agent pursuant to Article XI. and (y) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (ii), (iv) and (v) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 3.3., any Lender may, with the consent of the Requisite Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Requisite Lenders.

As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of the Obligations), the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the Obligations; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Agent shall not exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless the Requisite Lenders have so directed the Agent to exercise such right or remedy.

Section 12.2. Agent’s Reliance, Etc.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a nonappealable judgment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent: (a) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until the Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to the Agent; (b) may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for the Borrower or any other Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (c) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender or any other Person and shall not be responsible to any Lender or any other Person for any statements, warranties or representations made by any Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of the Borrower or other Persons or inspect the property, books or records of the Borrower or any other Person; (e) shall not be responsible to any Lender or any Issuing Bank for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; and (f) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone or telecopy) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties.

Section 12.3. Notice of Defaults.

The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender, an Issuing Bank or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” If any Lender (excluding the Lender which is also serving as the Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly send to the Agent such a “notice of default.” Further, if the Agent receives such a “notice of default”, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.

Section 12.4. Wells Fargo as Lender.

Wells Fargo, as a “Lender”, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any other Loan Document as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Wells Fargo in each case in its individual capacity. Wells Fargo and its affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the other Lenders. Further, the Agent and any affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the other Lenders.

- 98 -

Section 12.5. Approvals of Lenders.

All communications from the Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender’s determination, consent, approval or disapproval (a) shall be given in the form of a written notice to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by such Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials and a summary of all oral information provided to the Agent by the Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved, and (d) shall include the Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof. Each Lender shall reply promptly, but in any event within 10 Business Days (or such lesser or greater period as may be specifically required under the express terms of the Loan Documents) of receipt of such communication. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, unless a Lender shall give written notice to the Agent that it specifically objects to the recommendation or determination of the Agent within the applicable time period for reply, such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination (other than in respect of any consent required under Section 13.6.(b)).

Section 12.6. Lender Credit Decision, Etc.

Each Lender and Issuing Bank expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, attorneys-in-fact or other affiliates has made any representations or warranties as to the financial condition, operations, creditworthiness, solvency or other information concerning the business or affairs of the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any Subsidiary or any other Person to such Lender or Issuing Bank and that no act by the Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by the Agent to any Lender or Issuing Bank. Each Lender and Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Agent, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on the financial statements of the Borrower, the Subsidiaries or any other Affiliate thereof, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the Borrower, the Loan Parties, the Subsidiaries and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transaction contemplated hereby. Each Lender and Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any other Lender, any other Issuing Bank or counsel to the Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders and/or the Issuing Banks by the Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or Issuing Bank with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the Agent or any of

- 99 -

its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or other Affiliates. Each Lender and Issuing Bank acknowledges that the Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Agent and is not acting as counsel to such Lender or Issuing Bank.

Section 12.7. Indemnification of Agent.

Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Commitment Percentage, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent (in its capacity as Agent but not as a “Lender”) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or if the Agent fails to follow the written direction of the Requisite Lenders unless such failure is pursuant to the advice of counsel of which the Lenders have received notice. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees of the counsel(s) of the Agent’s own choosing) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents, any suit or action brought by the Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect any Obligations, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against the Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against the Agent and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws. Such out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Agent that the Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall reimburse the Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to the Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, the Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.

Section 12.8. Successor Agent.

The Agent may resign at any time as Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. In the event of a material breach of its duties hereunder, the Agent may be removed as Agent under the Loan Documents at any time by all Lenders (other than the Lender then acting as Agent) and the Borrower upon 30-day’s prior notice. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Requisite Lenders (which, in the case of the removal of the Agent as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, shall be determined without

- 100 -

regard to the Commitment of the Lender then acting as Agent) shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent which appointment shall, provided no Default or Event of Default exists, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the resigning Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Lenders’ removal of the resigning Agent, then the resigning or removed Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be a commercial bank having total combined assets of at least $10,000,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After any Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article XII. shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under the Loan Documents.

Section 12.9. Titled Agents.

Each of the Joint Lead Arrangers, Joint Bookrunners, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent and any other Person awarded a similar title (each a “Titled Agent”) in each such respective capacity, assumes no responsibility or obligation hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of any of the Loans, nor any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders. The titles given to the Titled Agents are solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Titled Agents to the Agent, any Lender, the Borrower or any other Loan Party and the use of such titles does not impose on the Titled Agents any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender or entitle the Titled Agents to any rights other than those to which any other Lender is entitled.

Section 12.10. Intentionally Omitted.

Section 13.2. Expenses.

The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Agent for all of its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, any of the Loan Documents (including reasonable due diligence expense and reasonable travel expenses related to closing), and the arrangement, underwriting, syndication, consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel to the Agent (but excluding any cost of in-house counsel), (b) to pay or reimburse the Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders (collectively, the “Lender Parties”) for all their reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under the Loan Documents, including the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of their respective counsel (but excluding the cost of any in-house counsel) and any payments in indemnification or otherwise payable by the Lenders to the Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents, (c) to pay, and indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any failure to pay or delay in paying, documentary, stamp, excise and other similar taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined

- 103 -

to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of any of the Loan Documents, or consummation of any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, any Loan Document and (d) to the extent not already covered by any of the preceding subsections, to pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Agent, any Issuing Bank and any Lender incurred in connection with the representation of the Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender in any matter relating to or arising out of any bankruptcy or other proceeding of the type described in Sections 11.1.(e) or 11.1.(f), including, without limitation (i) any motion for relief from any stay or similar order, (ii) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of any document relating to the Obligations and (iii) the negotiation and preparation of any debtor-in-possession financing or any plan of reorganization of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, whether proposed by the Borrower, such Loan Party, the Lenders or any other Person, and whether such fees and expenses are incurred prior to, during or after the commencement of such proceeding or the confirmation or conclusion of any such proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligation to reimburse the Lender Parties for fees and expenses in connection with the matters described in items (b) and (d) shall be limited to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to the Lender Parties and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel for the Lender Parties in each relevant jurisdiction and with respect to each relevant specialty, and in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to the affected Lender Parties similarly situated. All amounts payable pursuant to this Section 13.2. shall be due and payable 15 days after receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor.

Section 13.3. Setoff.

Subject to Section 3.3. and in addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, the Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Lender and each Participant is hereby authorized by the Borrower, at any time or from time to time while an Event of Default exists, without notice to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of an Issuing Bank, a Lender or a Participant subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Agent exercised in its sole discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Agent, such Issuing Bank, such Lender or any affiliate of the Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and on account of any of the Obligations, irrespective of whether or not any or all of the Loans and all other Obligations have been declared to be, or have otherwise become, due and payable as permitted by Section 11.2., and although such obligations shall be contingent or unmatured. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, if any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.10. and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders and (y) such Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

- 104 -

Section 13.4. Litigation; Jurisdiction; Other Matters; Waivers.

(a)    EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE AGENT, ANY ISSUING BANK OR ANY OF THE LENDERS WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES. ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE LENDERS, THE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANKS AND THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE AGENT, ANY ISSUING BANK OR ANY OF THE LENDERS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

(b)    EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE AGENT, EACH ISSUING BANK AND EACH LENDER HEREBY AGREES THAT THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, NEW YORK, NEW YORK, AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE AGENT, ANY ISSUING BANK OR ANY OF THE LENDERS, PERTAINING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT, THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING HEREFROM OR THEREFROM. THE BORROWER AND EACH OF THE LENDERS EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED IN SUCH COURTS. EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME. THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE ENFORCEMENT BY THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.

(c)    THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT, OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS ISSUED THEREIN, AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT, OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO THE BORROWER AT ITS ADDRESS FOR NOTICES PROVIDED IN SECTION 13.1. SHOULD THE BORROWER FAIL TO APPEAR OR ANSWER ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT, PROCESS OR PAPERS SO SERVED WITHIN 30 DAYS AFTER THE MAILING THEREOF, THE BORROWER SHALL BE DEEMED IN DEFAULT AND AN ORDER AND/OR JUDGMENT MAY BE ENTERED AGAINST IT AS DEMANDED OR PRAYED FOR IN SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT, PROCESS OR PAPERS.

- 105 -

(d)    THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH PARTY WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF ALL LETTERS OF CREDIT AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 13.5. Successors and Assigns.

(a)    The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or as of the other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of all Lenders (and any such assignment or other transfer to which all of the Lenders have not so consented shall be null and void).

(b)    Any Lender may make, carry or transfer Loans at, to or for the account of, any of its branch offices or the office of an affiliate of such Lender except to the extent such transfer would result in increased costs to the Borrower.

(c)    Any Lender may at any time grant to one or more banks or other financial institutions (each a “Participant”) participating interests in its Commitment or the Obligations owing to such Lender; provided, however, any such participating interest must be for a constant and not a varying percentage interest. Except as otherwise provided in Section 13.3., no Participant shall have any rights or benefits under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. In the event of any such grant by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrower, the Issuing Banks and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided, however, such Lender may agree with the Participant that it will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (i) increase or extend the term of such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal of the Loans or portions thereof owing to such Lender, (iii) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal or (iv) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon. An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection (d) or (f) below shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with this subsection (c). The selling Lender shall notify the Agent and the Borrower of the sale of any participation hereunder and the terms thereof. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary 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 Loan 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

- 106 -

interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan 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.

(d)    Any Lender may with the prior written consent of the Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and, subject to the immediately following clause (i), the Borrower assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (each an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its Commitment and its other rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes; provided, however, (i) so long as no Event of Default shall exist, the Borrower shall have consented to such assignment (which consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (it being agreed that the Borrower’s withholding of consent to an assignment which would result in the Borrower having to pay amounts under Section 3.11. shall be deemed to be reasonable)); (ii) no such consent by the Borrower shall be required in the case of any assignment to another Lender or any affiliate of such Lender or another Lender; (iii) no such consent by the Agent shall be required in the case of any assignment by a Lender to any affiliate of such Lender; (iv) any partial assignment shall be in an amount at least equal to $10,000,000 and after giving effect to such assignment the assigning Lender retains a Commitment, or if the Commitments have been terminated, holds Notes having an aggregate outstanding principal balance, of at least $10,000,000; and (v) each such assignment shall be effected by means of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement. Upon execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Lender of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Lender and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be deemed to be a Lender party to this Agreement as of the effective date of the Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender with a Commitment as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, and the transferor Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection, the transferor Lender, the Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes are issued to the Assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate. In connection with any such assignment, the transferor Lender shall pay to the Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $4,500.

(e)    The Agent shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The Agent shall give each Lender and the Borrower notice of the assignment by any Lender of its rights as contemplated by this Section. The Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Register and copies of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice to the Agent. Upon its receipt of an Assignment

- 107 -

and Acceptance Agreement executed by an assigning Lender, together with each Note subject to such assignment, the Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement has been completed and if the Agent receives the processing and recording fee described in subsection (d) above, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower.

(f)    [Intentionally Omitted.]

(g)    In addition to the assignments and participations permitted under the foregoing provisions of this Section, any Lender may assign and pledge all or any portion of its Loans and its Notes to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security. No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.

(h)    A Lender may furnish any information concerning the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries in the possession of such Lender from time to time to Assignees and Participants (including prospective Assignees and Participants) subject to compliance with Section 13.8.

(i)    Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

(j)    Each Lender agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Agent, it will not make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any Loan or Note under the Securities Act or any other securities laws of the United States of America or of any other jurisdiction.

(k)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (for purposes of this subsection, a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle organized under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof and affiliated or sponsored by such Granting Lender or one of its affiliates (for the purposes of this subsection, an “SPC”) the option to make, on behalf of such Granting Lender, all or a portion of the Loans which such Granting Lender is obligated or permitted to make (a “Funding Obligation”) hereunder, such option to be exercisable in the sole discretion of the SPC, provided, however, that

(b)    Additional Lender Consents. In addition to the foregoing requirements, no amendment, waiver or consent shall:

(i)    increase (or reinstate) the Commitments of a Lender or subject a Lender to any additional obligations without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood and agreed that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 6.1. or 6.2. or of any Default or Event of Default is not considered an increase in the Commitments of any Lender);

(ii)    reduce the principal of, or interest that has accrued or the rates of interest that will be charged on the outstanding principal amount of, any Loans or other Obligations without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided, however, only the written consent of the Requisite Lenders shall be required (x) for the waiver of interest payable at the Post-Default Rate, retraction of the imposition of interest at the Post-Default Rate and amendment of the definition of “Post-Default Rate” and (y) to amend any financial covenant hereunder (or any defined term used therein) even if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or to reduce any fee payable hereunder;

(iii)    reduce the amount of any Fees payable to a Lender without the written consent of such Lender; provided, however, only the written consent of the Requisite Lenders shall be required to amend any financial covenant hereunder (or any defined term used therein) even if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce any fee payable hereunder;

(iv)    modify the definition of “Commitment Percentage” without the written consent of each Lender;

(v)    modify the definition of “Termination Date”, otherwise postpone any date fixed for, or forgive, any payment of principal of, or interest on, any Loans or for the payment of Fees or any other Obligations owing to the Issuing Banks or the Lenders, or extend the expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Termination Date, or, with respect to any Extended Letter of Credit, further extend the expiration date of such Extended Letter of Credit or modify any provision of Sections 2.3.(b) or 2.16. regarding Cash Collateral for such Extended Letters of Credit or release any Cash Collateral provided pursuant to Sections 2.3.(b) or 2.16. except in accordance with Section 11.6., in each case, without the consent of each Issuing Bank and/or Lender directly affected thereby;

- 110 -

(vi)    amend this Section or amend the definitions of the terms used in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents insofar as such definitions affect the substance of this Section without the written consent of each Lender;

(c)    Amendment of Agent’s Duties, Etc. No amendment, waiver or consent unless in writing and signed by the Agent, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, shall affect the rights or duties of the Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Any amendment, waiver or consent relating to Section 2.4. or the obligations of the Swingline Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, require the written consent of the Swingline Lenders. Any amendment, waiver or consent relating to Section 2.3. or the obligations of the Issuing Banks under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, require the written consent of each Issuing Bank.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitments of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased, reinstated or extended without the written consent of such Defaulting Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the written consent of such Defaulting Lender. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon and any amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose set forth therein. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. Any Event of Default occurring hereunder shall continue to exist until such time as such Event of Default is waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this Section, notwithstanding any attempted cure or other action by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Event of Default. Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

- 111 -

(d)    Technical Amendments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.6., if the Agent and the Borrower have jointly identified an ambiguity, omission, mistake or defect in any provision of this Agreement or an inconsistency between provisions of this Agreement, the Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision or provisions to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency so long as to do so would not adversely affect the interests of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks. Any such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any of other party to this Agreement.

(e)    Additional Term Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with only the written consent of Agent and the Borrower (a) to provide for the making of Additional Term Loans as contemplated by Section 2.17. and to permit the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Revolving Loans, any other Term Loans and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (b) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such Additional Term Loans in any determination of the Requisite Lenders. Furthermore, this Agreement may be amended to extend any Commitments and/or Term Loans outstanding pursuant to clause (f) of this Section 13.6. below.

(f)    Amend and Extend Transactions.

(i)    The Borrower may, by written notice to the Agent from time to time, request an extension (each, an “Extension”) of the maturity date of any Class of Loans and Commitments to the extended maturity date specified in such notice. Such notice shall (A) set forth the amount of the applicable Class of Commitments and/or Term Loans that will be subject to the Extension (which shall be in a minimum amount of $200,000,000 and minimum increments of $25,000,000 in excess thereof (or such other amounts as may be acceptable to the Borrower and the Agent)), (B) set forth the date on which such Extension is requested to become effective (which shall be not less than ten (10) Business Days nor more than sixty (60) days after the date of such Extension notice (or such longer or shorter periods as the Agent shall agree in its sole discretion)) and (C) identify the relevant Class of Commitments and/or Term Loans to which such Extension relates. Each Lender of the applicable Class shall be offered (an “Extension Offer”) an opportunity to participate in such Extension on a pro rata basis and on the same terms and conditions as each other Lender of such Class pursuant to procedures established by, or reasonably acceptable to, the Agent and the Borrower. If the aggregate principal amount of Commitments or Term Loans in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Commitments or Term Loans, as applicable, subject to the Extension Offer as set forth in the Extension notice, then the Commitments or Term Loans, as applicable, of Lenders of the applicable Class shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer.

- 112 -

(ii)    The following shall be conditions precedent to the effectiveness of any Extension: (A) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to such Extension, (B) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 7.1. and in each other Loan Document shall be deemed to be made and shall be true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the effective date of such Extension except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances not prohibited hereunder, (C) the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lenders shall have consented to any Extension of the Commitments, to the extent that such Extension provides for the issuance or extension of Letters of Credit or making of Swingline Loans at any time during the extended period and (D) the terms of such Extended Commitments and Extended Term Loans shall comply with sub clause (iii) of this Section 13.6.(f). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Commitments or Loans of any Lender be extended pursuant to this Section 13.6.(f). unless such Lender affirmatively accepts in writing the applicable Extension Offer, it being understood and agreed that a failure by a Lender to respond to any such Extension Offer shall be deemed to be a rejection by such Lender of such Extension Offer.

(iii)    The terms of each Extension shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable extending Lenders and set forth in an Extension Amendment; provided that (A) the final maturity date of any Extended Commitment or Extended Term Loan shall be no earlier than the latest Termination Date then in effect for any Class of Loans, (B)(x) there shall be no scheduled amortization of the loans or reductions of commitments under any Extended Commitments and (y) the average life to maturity of the Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining average life to maturity of any existing Term Loans, (C) the Extended Revolving Loans and the Extended Term Loans will rank pari passu in right of payment and with respect to security with the existing Revolving Loans and the existing Term Loans and the borrower and guarantors of the Extended Commitments or Extended Term Loans, as applicable, shall be the same as the Borrower and Guarantors with respect to the existing Revolving Loans or Term Loans, as applicable, (D) the interest rate margin, rate floors, fees, original issue discount and premium applicable to any Extended Commitment (and the Extended Revolving Loans thereunder) and Extended Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable extending Lenders, (E)(x) the Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata or less than pro rata (but not greater than pro rata) basis in voluntary or mandatory prepayments with the other Term Loans and (y) borrowing and prepayment of Extended Revolving Loans, or reductions of Extended Commitments, and participation in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans, shall be on a pro rata basis with the other Revolving Loans or Commitments (other than upon the maturity of the non-extended Revolving Loans and Commitments) and (F) the terms of the Extended Commitments or Extended Term Loans, as applicable, shall be substantially identical to the terms set forth herein (except as set forth in sub-clauses (A) through (E) above).

- 113 -

(iv)    In connection with any Extension, the Borrower, the Agent and each applicable extending Lender shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Extension Amendment and such other documentation as the Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence the Extension. The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension. Any Extension Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lender, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Agent and the Borrower, to implement the terms of any such Extension, including any amendments necessary to establish Extended Commitments or Extended Term Loans as a new Class or tranche of Commitments or Term Loans, as applicable, and such other technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new Class or tranche (including to preserve the pro rata treatment of the extended and non-extended Classes or tranches and to provide for the reallocation of Revolving Credit Exposure upon the expiration or termination of the commitments under any Class or tranche), in each case on terms consistent with this Section 13.6.(f).

Section 13.7. Nonliability of Agent and Lenders.

The relationship between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Lenders and the Agent, on the other hand, shall be solely that of borrower and lender. None of the Agent, the Issuing Banks or any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower and no provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing by the Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to any Lender, any other Issuing Bank, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party. None of the Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrower to review or inform the Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrower’s business or operations.

Section 13.8. Confidentiality.

The Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender shall not disclose to any Person and shall maintain the confidentiality of all Information (as defined below) but in any event may make disclosure: (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ other respective Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any actual or proposed assignee, Participant or other transferee in connection with a potential transfer of any Commitment or participation therein as permitted hereunder, or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations; provided that the disclosure of any such Information under clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section to such Persons shall be made subject to the acknowledgement and acceptance by any such Person that such information is being disseminated on a confidential basis (on substantially the terms set forth in this paragraph or as is otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and such disclosing Person, including, without limitation, as agreed in any confidential information memorandum or other marketing materials); (c) as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process or in connection with any legal

- 114 -

proceedings, or as otherwise required by Applicable Law (in which case (other than in the case of requests from regulatory authorities), such Person shall, to the extent permitted by law, inform you promptly in advance thereof); (d) to the Agent’s, such Issuing Banks’ or such Lender’s independent auditors and other professional advisors (provided they shall be notified of the confidential nature of the information and are or have been advised of their obligation to keep information of this type confidential); (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under any Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section actually known by the Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender to be a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Affiliate of the Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower; (g) to the extent requested by, or required to be disclosed to, any nationally recognized rating agency or regulatory or similar authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) having or purporting to have jurisdiction over it; (h) to bank trade publications, such information to consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications; (i) to any other party hereto; and (j) with the consent of the Borrower.

As used in this Section, the term “Information” means all information received from the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or Affiliate relating to any Loan Party or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or any Affiliate. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Section 13.9. Indemnification.

(a) The Borrower shall indemnify the Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Issuing Bank, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnified Party”) against, and hold each Indemnified Party harmless from, and shall pay or reimburse any such Indemnified Party for, any and all losses, claims (including without limitation, Environmental Claims), damages, liabilities and related expenses (including without limitation, the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnified Party), incurred by any Indemnified Party or asserted against any Indemnified Party by any Person (including the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary) other than such Indemnified Party and its Related Parties, arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto or thereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a

- 115 -

demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary, or any Environmental Claim related in any way to the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary, (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding (an “Indemnity Proceeding”) relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary, and regardless of whether any Indemnified Party is a party thereto, or (v) any claim (including without limitation, any Environmental Claims), investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not the Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender is a party thereto) and the prosecution and defense thereof, arising out of or in any way connected with the Loans, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys and consultant’s fees (in any case, limited to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to such Indemnified Parties and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel for the Indemnified Parties in each relevant jurisdiction and with respect to each relevant specialty, and in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to the affected Indemnified Parties similarly situated); provided, however, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Party, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (A) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party or (B) arise from any dispute solely among Indemnified Parties (except in connection with claims or disputes (1) relating to whether the conditions to any Credit Event have been satisfied, (2) with respect to a Defaulting Lender or the determination of whether a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (3) against the Agent or the Arrangers in their respective capacities as such, and (4) directly resulting from any act or omission on part of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary). This Section 13.9.(a) shall not apply with respect to Taxes addressed in Section 3.11. or yield maintenance obligations described in Section 5.1. and Section 5.4.

Section 13.10. Termination; Survival.

At such time as (a) all of the Commitments have been terminated, (b) none of the Lenders is obligated any longer under this Agreement to make any Loans and (c) all Obligations (other than obligations which survive as provided in the following sentence) have been paid and satisfied in full, this Agreement shall terminate. The indemnities to which the Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders are entitled under the provisions of Sections 3.12., 5.1., 5.4., 12.7., 13.2. and 13.9. and

- 116 -

any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the provisions of Section 13.4., shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders (i) notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, or of the other Loan Documents, against events arising after such termination as well as before and (ii) at all times after any such party ceases to be a party to this Agreement with respect to all matters and events existing on or prior to the date such party ceased to be a party to this Agreement. Upon the Borrower’s request, the Agent agrees to deliver to the Borrower, at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, written confirmation of the foregoing termination.

Section 13.11. Severability of Provisions.

Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 13.14. Obligations with Respect to Loan Parties.

The obligations of the Borrower to direct or prohibit the taking of certain actions by the other Loan Parties as specified herein shall be absolute and not subject to any defense the Borrower may have that the Borrower does not control such Loan Parties.

Section 13.16. Independence of Covenants.

All covenants hereunder shall be given in any jurisdiction independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

- 117 -

Section 13.17. Limitation of Liability.

None of the Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, nor any affiliate, officer, director, employee, attorney, or agent of the Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and the Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages suffered or incurred by the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

Section 13.18. Entire Agreement.

This Agreement, the Notes, and the other Loan Documents referred to herein embody the final, entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior commitments, agreements, representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and may not be contradicted or varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the parties hereto. There are no oral agreements among the parties hereto.

Section 13.20. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-in of EEA Financial Institutions.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

The USA Patriot Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56) and federal regulations issued with respect thereto require all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record certain information that identifies individuals or business entities which open an “account” with such financial institution. Consequently, each Lender hereunder may from time to time request, and the Borrower shall provide to such Lender, the Borrower’s name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary for such Lender to comply with federal law. An “account” for this purpose may include, without limitation, a deposit account, cash management service, a transaction or asset account, a credit account, a loan or other extension of credit, and/or other financial services product.
